- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มี.ค. 2020
- Comments at the start refer to an organization for which I made this video!
In this video, we'll talk about what it means to "catch the string", how the bow hold and the role of various fingers is fundamental to effortless clear articulation, how to find the "Ictus" of a tone, and practicing Colle and Martele stroke with etudes like Kreutzer No.7
Then, we will look at some passages (mostly 1st violin, but the materials are totally transferrable) from Dvorak New World Symphony.

![How to get DEEP CONNECTION between the notes [Violin technique]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-uyejWhyOf4/mqdefault.jpg)
This was such a great lesson. I like the way you present this material - very raw and over and over, and just demonstrating how your hand gets softer through the exercises. The ability to put flexible/athletic power into any stringed instrument always ends up requiring the learning process (years, decades) of learning to put “weight” into the string with that combination of arm/wrist/finger strength/speed. I really enjoyed this
Thank you. It was impromptu and not as well organized as I’d like, but gets the point across! I will be making more in depth videos on the various topics touched on here.
This is outstandingly helpful. I've noticed in masterclasses that when the teacher demonstrates articulation basics to the student, the difference in execution is often striking. Their fundamentals are stronger, and form the foundation of their superior performances.
I love these insights that you keep bringing to our attention. You have a real knack for knowing where to add repetition. Insights; example; repetition. It is absolutely in the most digestible format, here. Thanks for posting this.
Maestro Kurganov, muchas gracias por compartir ésta lección, estoy fascinado con sus videos, aprecio mucho el tiempo que usted dedica para crear este contenido tan espectacular.
Es usted un gran violinista y un gran profesor ! Reciba un cordial saludo.
Hello Mr Daniel .thank you so so much . I really appreciate for the time that you are putting for making videos lessons .I can't express my gratefulness by writing . it is so practical to me , and hope to be others as well. please continue to post more videos . for example how to produce penetrating edgy sound ,like exactly this useful video,that you shared generously with us. by the way I am waiting to watch the vibrato number 4 that it is supposed to be posted by You.
Thank you so much! More content coming very soon!
@@DanielKurganov thanks, looking forward to watching them. By the way I sent a private message to your Instagram page, please check it out.
Thank you sooo much. violinist from Sudan.
Fantastic lesson, maestro. If you'll give me martele lessons, I'll give you FOREHAND lessons lol. Seriously though, I got my masters in violin performance... and have learned a ton from your tutorials. Keep up the exceptional, passionate work you're doing!
I think this one of the most important lecture about violin and sound production. all my life I want to produce good sound I use to call it bow pressure but after I came on your channel I heard Ictus I google it and understand and I know how to produce beautiful sound from my violin. thank you so much and god bless you so generous and smart
Thank you! This is super super helpful!!
Glad it was helpful, Yuwen!
that violin sounds great
the violin has a great player too
@@viktorzozulia9258the violin that the player owns had a great maker too
BRAVO !
You are simply Amazing!!!
Thank you sooooo much Mr. Daniel. Hello from Turkey.
Even my English it's not too good but i hope one day to translate your leasons to arabic , couse your teaching method it's woow woow woooow😊.
Thank U my frind , from iraq🙋♂️
From Irak?!?🤯 Amazing. Hi from Mexico.

You right bro , even iraq is the most violent in our planet.
But we have jesuse 🙂🙂.

Wow this actually helps I can hear the difference in my playing
Vous êtes vraiment un grand professeur.👍👍👍👍👍
A Very important video 🙂 thank you 🤗
Excellent demonstration and explanation Daniel. I really like the way you build up the exercise. Even for an adult learner I know I can incorporate this into my own practice! Thank you so much. G Ire
Casey Driessen has developed a whole notation system for various different “chop” strokes. He’s quite a fiddle phenom (phiddle phenom?)
Thanks for the info!
What you share is amazing and very efficient, thank you so much Daniel.
Thanks Daniel ☺️
Glad I found you channel. Once again thank you.
Thanks Daniel!
unique in a way to depict the bowing in comparison to pin-pong and basketball
This is very helpful
Excellent 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
I like your emphasis on catching the string. I start beginners in the 9th grade in my district. Which is crazy but whatev. Getting them as a large class to engage the string in different ways which gradually engineers proper technique and sound production is always a challenge, but having them catch the string is so important. I tell them to grip it and rip it. Helps them to remember. But it's basically the same thing you're doing with the Martele
Bravo ! From Hungary
Very very Inportant.
I have yet to see anybody having so much of knowledge, skill and intricacies about violin music.I am baffled as to how to manage such a huge load of learning and how much time to practise.I believe 10000 years are even less.
Thanks! !!!
Muito bom, obrigado!🇧🇷
Actually I think I found it - Ictus Cordis. In Dutch - punt stoot. ( point hit sort of )
Great video. I started playing about 10 weeks ago and am already playing intonated well in 3rd and 5th position. My instructor says I need to relieve left hand tension before learning wrist vibrato. Do you have a video addressing left hand tension?
Thank you Daniel for your video. I am reading the principles of violin playing by I. Galamian. He has insisted on the importance of the collé and martelé strokes and suggested to work them with Kreutzer no ... 7. What a coincidence !
ty
Wow, look how much space there is between the stick and the hair on that bow! What are the reasons for that?
The reason is a good bow
I'd pay big bucks for this lesson.
Браво!!! Писец какое крутое разжевывание и подача материала. Я даже не мечтал, что кто-то сможет так объяснять!!!
Quality of your violin sound is great!obviously it is due to your technic and violin itself but... What mic do you use?
Genial. Por favor subtitulos en castellano. Gracias
Maestro could I ask what chinrest are you using and what is that little black thing on it? Thank you for a reply
I also have that little black thing but mine keeps falling off. It means nothing to me. It is a soft subbery thing and I don't even remember why I bought it.
@@eugenievanzyl can you tell us where you bought it?
Eugenie van Zyl I have the same thing. It kept falling off. I secured it on the chinrest by using double sided tape and now it stays firmly in place. It does not fall off anymore. I find it very comfortable, specially in winter!!
Hello Daniel, amazing video as usual. I like the illustration you are making on the Dvorak New World Symphony. Would you say that the same articulation would apply to Bruch’s 1st Concerto in G minor, 3rd movement? There, the double stops are played at the frog or close to it and with a bite. Would you apply also collé and martelé? Would you make a video on articulation for this piece as well? Thank you
Hi Daniel, thank you for the most interesting video's. As a violinist myself I think I do understand most of what your saying. But I'm intrigued with your choice of calling - so to say - the attack of a note Ichthus. So my question is why that word. Bye, Geerten
thanks! great question! the ictus is the very instant at which a conductor starts there beat, and while the beat might be a large gesture, the ictus is a very small articulation (domewith the wrist and fingers) which gives clarity to the beat. I see it as remarkably analogous to what we do on the violin.
wondering who are those 'crazy pop violinists'? fabulous clean articulation
Have you tried to put your right pinky on the side of the end of the bow ( half on top and half on side)? Though, different schools...I find the side pinky gives more of a 3 dimensional control. The ring finger adopts the ballance. The side pinky helps straight bowing. Blue Dave.
Hola Daniel, una pregunta, este efecto del arco se puede aplicar también para los armónicos naturales y artificiales. Saludos
Would you be so kind to tell me what chinrest do you use?
Maestro Kurganov, I am an adult beginner, just under a year and I am struggling with a bouncy bow near the frog, I may have asked this on another video, so I apologize if I am repeating the question. Any advice from you would be very Helpful. I have a wonderful teacher who mentioned that he studied with one of your teachers.I find your videos extremely engaging and informative.
as itzak perlman said "you have to make the bow work for you, the bow will only bounce if you let it bounce"
in other words, give the bow freedom, don't force the bow, drop it onto the string, it will habe some give, find a way to make it bounce more if you need it to, every bow is different. Happy practicing!
and also I know I'm late, and take my opinion with a grain of salt, for I am 14 and have been playing for 2 years, but I have made insane progress and have done a lot of research.
@@user-ww2nd4co2p Thanks for that advice. Once quick question, Does one usually have less pressure at the frog and a bit more approaching the tip?
@@garysimkins2179 so the bow is light at the tip and heavy at the frog, so you will have to lift the bow more near the frog, and put more pressure at the tip. if its spiccato you're going for, the balance point is the best spot, sometimes near the frog lighter strokes with a slight bounce in them should do, if its richochet(a very technically advanced bowstroke) then the tip is usually where it will be best executed. really its more about how you do it, there are general guide lines but you have to experiment quite a bit to get it right. I hope this helps and you achieve your goal.
@@user-ww2nd4co2p Yes, I think I worded that incorrectly, as I understand that the weight of the bow is heaviest at the frog. So you answered my question in regards to lighter pressure at the frog and more at the tip. So Thanks again. I played cello for years, and thought this wouldn't be so difficult. I have begun to realize just what a different animal the violin is, and I am enjoying it. At 70, my fingers aren't quick as nimble as when I was 30 however, and I am adjusting to the lightness of the violin bow vs the cello bow. I appreciate your help.
Butter slicing i discovered that tonight without having even played violin once...
in-depth descriptions of bow articulation. What about Russian style bow holding technique?
Wow! I guess I discovered what you call the ictus on my own! I thought I had discovered it because of my Asperger mind - but you do it too! For me it is the basis of all sound production and articulation on the violin.
🙄
That's some good shits bro
Tecnich very important.
I’m just dying to know where you found the video of Mr.Nadien playing the swan lake solo.
Bernstein young people’s concert
Do you teach online?
May I know why you keep the bow hair so tight ? Maybe the bow has lost the camber
I saw that as well
Do you mean for us to place our thumbs on the leather?
Yes! I think it’s objectively a superior way of holding the bow.
I would NEVER say: "...thumb pushes up." This is not a desirable way of playing, or thinking about sound production. We are actually both pulling/pushing the string, and allowing it to rotate. The pronation is something that should change throughout the bow stroke (less pronounced at the frog, more pronounced at the tip), but the idea should never be to exert downward pressure. I would rather say the hand is like a see-saw with the pinky on one side, index on the other and the thumb as the fulcrum. As the fulcrum is the point of 0 energy, the thumb does/should NOT push upward.
Well, technically it’s correct that when you want to expand the sound with weight into the stock, index finger pushes and the thumb is the counterweight. Obviously there are various situations, but that is one of them. I take your point that it’s not how it ‘should be thought of’ but some people need to hear that simplicity, especially if they have a habit of gripping/squeezing the bow with all fingers. I think i provide some nuance on that point through the long video:)
4:39 soo the finger goes on the grip?? why people teach that it shoud be placed bewteen the grip and the frog?? whats the difference? is this method better or even the right one?
Great question. I have the same question. Hope you receive a good answer.
@@chuckdearruda6271 up to now I already keep my finger between the grip and frog, just didnt feel right putting on it.. like if I didnt had enough control over the bow :/ maybe "'its not much but its an honest work :v"
Xshofi, Thanks for the reply. I’m a beginner (about a month now), so seems my bow hold changes a little each day. Right now I think I’m gonna split the difference,,,,, right half of my thumb flat on the grip and left edge of thumb just touching the frog (seems a bit more relaxed, but gives up no control).
@@chuckdearruda6271 Iam also a beginner, about 4 months now, my bow hold has barely changed in the last two months and, as I told, I feel better with the usual bow holding (right between the frog-grip and not over the grip)
@@chuckdearruda6271 btw dont forget the pinky!
Hi Daniel, do you do 1on1 lessons or master classes preferably live (I live in Europe….) or also virtually. Patrick / I am an adult amateur, currently studying BWV1004, 1003 at Lucerne conservatory
Hi Patrick, you can email me at theviolin@outlook.com and we can chat.
