Los temas a tratar son en la primera sesión métodos y cómo estudiar, la segunda acerca de audiciones y competencias. La tercera es una Q&A. Sobre todo para la ronda de preguntas es necesario inscribirse en el formulario que verán en nuestro sitio web “festival bajo cuerdas” naturalmente sin costo, nos financia el fondo de la música, saludos
Hi, i love your performance! By the way, do you think that speed is good for an audition? I have an audition soon, and I don't know which tempo could be the best. Hope yo can answer, also thanks for the lessons.
Hi Alfonso, yes and no, it depends on the excerpt. For Smetana in particular: I play the fastest possible tempo yet all the notes must be there. Though there is nothing wrong using the fast tempos of top modern orchestras, it is usually more convenient to choose a slow, romantic 20th Century Karajan Tempo since they are the most popular and well known. Once I made I mistake and played Beethoven 5 too fast, two or three notes were gone and so the Job. The conductor says I chose a good tempo, but it's better just a bit slower: bigger halls, steel strings and modern instruments should be considered before using an historical tempo. Basses had gut strings and where considerable quieter in the time the excerpts where composed. Cheers
@@max.domante Thank you so much for your response, it makes some things clearer to me, I'll take your advise of the most well known tempos for the excerpts, some times I try playing too fast, and i get a little nervous and make a lot of mistakes. So thanks again!
No chance to win an audition in Austria or Germany without solo tuning. Sometimes they say it on the announcements for jobs (Deutsche Bogenhaltung und Solostimmung vorausgesetzt) Cheers

Really cool! I can only bow well enough to keep the neighborhood cats away.
In contrast to Matteo Gaspari and Ödön Rasz (Respect to both!)
we can learn from You HOW it works!!! Thank You!
Many thanks, I do believe sautille works like this, but there are other ways to go as well. Enjoy your practicing, viel Spaß beim Üben

@@max.domante Have you ever played on gut strings? They are much louder than steel strings.
@@Emmettdoesstrongman I haven't ever tried them to be honest
@@max.domante They are so fun, you should try them some time.
