My goodness, Sam...it really is another world. Who would have thought all this was going on the other side of the harpsichord/fortepiano. Really interesting and informative!
Thank you so much, Sam, for a series of really wonderful videos. It's great to go back and review the fundamentals, as I often find myself developing bad habits, consciously or otherwise. I look forward to future videos and will definitely see you on Patreon. All the best ...
Definitely a master class here! Getting the left hand so practiced it can be virtually forgotten during play so attention can be on articulation and phrasing via the bow. Keep fingers down on strings for resonance and ringing through reverse of bow strokes. You make it all look so easy! Feels challenging that hopefully even just a few more years will make such fluidity seem natural, but right now this fast stuff seems beyond my ability.
Hello. I am a young composer from Armenia. Thank you for your lessons. They are very useful. It is very nice, how you present the lessons. Can I ask you some questions? I am going to write a new work for tenor and bass Viola da gamba, and can you tell about extended technique for contemporary classic music for violdg. Or may be the cello's (strings) articulations can be the same for viols. Thank you very much!!!
Hi Nune, I'd be glad to talk to you about this. Maybe you could send me an email via my website? Just google my name and it'll come up. That way we can have a more extended conversation.
Immensely helpful. Thank you.
