Thank you so much, Maurice, for helping me take on this piece and feeling good about it. I recently played this for a friend at the memorial service for his wife of 53 years who passed away last year. I hadn't played a solo piece in years so I was initially nervous, but agreed to give it a try for my friend. This was one of his wife's favorite pieces that she wanted played at her service. I had about a month to prepare, and played along with you many nights to get comfortable playing this for an audience in a church. I'm more of a hobbyist so I didn't play it as wonderfully as you, but I got through it as best as I could with your sheet music that I purchased. It meant a lot to her husband and her family who attended to hear it played live. I never had the chance to meet her in this life, but I like to think this music connected us in other ways. Thank you for making more advanced yet beautiful music accessible to amateurs like me so that others can enjoy experiencing it, too. Stay well! - Chris
Such a flawlessly brilliant rendition! Slower pieces like these appear easier to play but are in fact more difficult as notes, shifts and expressions come through much more clearly, hence there is no room to go wrong!
Wunderbar! Ich habe schon sehr viele Interpretationen von Thais Meditation gehört, aber ich muss ehrlich sagen, dass diese pures Gefühl ist. Es geht direkt ins Herz und jeder Ton ist so klar und weich. Einfach nur grandios! DANKE!!!!
WOW! All I can say is that you're a real pro on the violin! You have EXCELLENT tone and vibrato! As a violinist myself, you're a real inspiration to me and to the future generation of violinists! God bless!
Brilliant!! Very clear and easy to follow. I love how clear he makes the bowing and position shifts and the music in the background is so helpful. Lovely to listen to and a super teaching resource. Thank-you 😀
I’ve been learning violin for about 4 years as a hobby, still it is really hard to make beautiful sound like you. And I will play this piece at little recital in June.. so i am watching this video almost like every day😂 Thank you for making this. I do love your videos, such smooth bowing skill and expression. I always looking forward to watch your playing. Please keep making new videos! Love from korea🎻❤
I was looking for a violin guided solo meditation to sleep with on, I think I have drifted to sleep long ago as I feel like I'm in a beautiful dream and don't want to wake up. Your music and expression is meditating 😊😊😊😍😍
Such nice music you bring to us, I was as a child also violin player but has no time after my 18 years to play anymore because of my prof work as mechanics and pilot business, now I am retired and want to pic up my skills to play music, its hard for my because as from the past time I was playing, hope I find the encourage to do so, in any case congratulations for your videos, greetings from Remi, Belgium
Oh, wow ! I am so grateful you have this incredible piece of inspiration put so perfectly. Your physical energy with enormus passion gives me total confidence to follow through learning this master composition with little knowledge reading sheet music. I learn to play music by ear and memory. Thank you !
Ach herrje! Was für ein toller "neuer" Channel den ich hier entdecken durfte. Eine sehr angenehme, unaufgeregte Art von Videos. Bitte mehr davon. Ich bin blutiger (Hobby-)Anfänger an der Geige und ich liebe dieses Stück. Nun wird mir klar, dass ich diesen Gipfel der Perfektion wohl im Leben nicht mehr erklimmen kann. Ich komme aber gern wieder um ihn vom Tal aus zu bewundern.
Dear. Maurice, I just found your... video and I am so happy listening to your music and I could actually work on improving on this piece. I have been busy with school and this music was always in my heart, wanted to improve the sound and fingering. thank you thank you so much!
Sempre desejei estudar esse tema. Perdi tudo mas continuo estudando violino. Sonho que estou tocando. GOSTO muito mesmo. E vc está me dando oportunidade de estudar. 🙏 muitíssimo obrigado. Vc toca com maestria. 🖐️😇🎻👍🇧🇷
This is honestly one of my favorite performances of this song. The way your videos show how you physically play, along side the sheet music has been extremely helpful in my learning. I can't play this, but my long term goal is to evoke emotion the way you do while playing. Thank you for what you do!!
Auch wenn ich Ihr Großvater sein könnte, durch Ihren Kanal kann ich viel lernen. "Meditation" da schaffe ich gerade den Durchbruch. Macht viel viel Freude. Doch zunächst einmal, herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag. Einen Wunsch habe aber ich. Gerne hätte ich die die Noten für "yesterday" ausgedruckt. Übrigens, umsonst ist der Tod und der kostet das Leben, deshalb werde ich Ihren Kanal durch eine Spende unterstützen. Mit herzlichen Grüßen aus Bayern Konrad Hahmann
Wundervoll gespielt 🤗 , richtig meisterlich 👍💖👏👏👏 !!! Hr. Maurer , sie sind mein Lieblingslehrer aus dem Internet ! Schade , dass ich nicht persönlich bei Ihnen " offline " Unterricht nehmen kann ! Sie bringen einem die Musik näher und so gut rüber ! Danke 😃 🌻💫💝❤️

In canada's Royal conservatory of music, they just put this piece as a level 8. So you are helping so many canadians :D
Yes!❤
Maurice makes violin playing look easy and sound great.

You're my favorite violinist! I've never heard such expressive and beautiful phrasing before.
Wow, thank you!
@@fragherrnmaurer i agree with ma, for something that I am not aware of. Thank you for your great work. I love your channel. Your sense, maybe.
I agree!! Also what is phrasing? I searched it up but i don't understand
@@Meenie_Mew phrasing is how the violinist interprets the music and plays it - for example, personalizing the tempo, dynamics, and expression.
@@Catelynmeow Thanks! Does that include bow distribution?

So good! Now I see the fingering and how the piece should sound.
Good Lord! Thais was exquisite. - A lifetime musician
You are the perfect violin tutor who is so inspiring with clear fingering view and sheet music.
Thank you 😊
Very expressive, nice phrasing, good intonation and good dynamics!
