2:58 His calluses on the finger tips look insane! Now I understand why I do not produce good sound, cause I did not practice enough to have that amount of calluses.
Because he had NO idea about how violin playing works phisically. Thats why. He was just a genius and he could play marvelously until he was 28. But afterwards it never worked again.
@@leonardoiglesias2394 Oh, he had a pretty good idea of how it works. Also true that he felt he had hit a technique crisis along the way and felt he had to go back and re-focus on a lot of the basics.
He didn't receive rigorous technical training by his teachers Persinger and Enesco when he was young and mostly relied upon his natural abilities. He only studied technique after having an psychological breakdown in the 1940's. He also had physical issues, in particular trembling in both hands that compromised his technique.
Due to a neurological condition called Focal Distonia, that means that a group of neurons, in charge of specific muscle groups that work in specific movements, die.
He is not correct on the question of vibrato. Vibrato has been so often over-used. Menuhin gets away with it because his vibrato is very narrow. However, in Baroque music vibrato is today kept to a minimum and often not used at all.
That's true. But I believe Menuhin would use vibrato in Baroque music if he found it to be more beautiful. Vibrato is what gives the tone life and warmth, and he was a master of controlling vibrato as an expressive tool.

Yehudi was such a talented violinist. He was also a nice looking man.

But why did he have technical flaws with his technique?

Who are you to question Menuhin?

Vibrato goes in and out of style. It's silly to talk about "correctness".
Yahoudi was really nice. ❤
try and play the Tchaikovsky violin concerto and dont use vibrato, see what it sounds like
