Grigory Kalinovsky's master class at the Sibelius Academy

Professor of violin at the Indiana University, Grigory Kalinovsky, visited the Sibelius Academy and taught the students - among other things - about playing without the shoulder rest.

He's right on about the shoulder rest changing the sound.

Impressive octave shifts. The shoulder rest was invented for a reason. Many more people can play this awkward instrument with it. Leonidas Kavakos is one of the greatest violinists of the world, and he argues passionately for the shoulder rest usage.
