I knew and play (chamber Orchestra)with Mr Heifetz,in México City.,in 197s,was a good and exelent concert.
Classical music is so underrated
cuz pop's pupils don't deserve to rate it
I really loved this talk. I think Daniel is hitting the nail on the head. As performers, we have to be comfortable with the instrument in our hands and play the music with our own energy and emotions. Everybody has their own perfect quality. We don't have to imitate our teachers and/or muses. We have our own brilliance inside each of us. We have to find it. Thank you TEDx for this
Daniel Heifetz is a wonderful human being and a fine violinist. I met him in Miami when he performed a beautiful recital at Dade County Auditorium in the late 1970s. I was just a teenager then, but he was very kind and attentive toward me. It must have been hard for him to carve out a career as a violin soloist with a last name like Heifetz. All of us violinists live in the shadow of the giant of the violin, Jascha Heifetz! Nevertheless, he has enjoyed an exemplary career in music thanks to his great talent, sincere dedication, and open generosity toward others. One final note, I was shocked to see how much he physically resembles another great violin idol of mine. He's a dead ringer for Nathan Milstein!
PASSACAGLIA I love that piece with all my heart ❤️
Awesome lesson!
Wasn't overwhelmed by his examples at the beginning.
Sos TwoSet Violinnnnnnnn
Visit Staunton, VA!
any relation to jascha?
I thought he is related to Jascha Heifetz. :p
GREGORY
first time I hear his name.
Что с субтитрами, почему они пропадают?
That was a pretty good performance of passacaglia but Ted X is terrible with recording instruments.
I would guess he isn't related to Jascha Heifetz, right?
That's what I was thinking.
is this mans related to THE jascha heifetz
nope
guys name is heifetz? thats a little odd
staker?
sadly horrible acoustics in that hall. but nice lecture.
get a life
@@lyrasimo chill
Look at my nigun
Why oh why do the violin players in tedx talks always play pieces that i love and try to play but can never play farther than the first baaaaaaars? 😂
Why oh why do they only play violin and piano is my question. Why not a saxophone, or a clarinet. Or perhaps even more overlooked instruments like the baritone, bari sax, bass clarinet. They are all wonderful instruments.
Yep! I agree...I guess that people just don't...know these instruments, even though they're great too... (and it's a shame really)
@Ireidal check out an Oslo Tedx talk of a jazz alto saxophonist sharing his journey into opera.

Sounds like he hasn’t concertized in years.....
He's probably has become more of a teacher rather than a performer. Either that or the acoustics in the hall are just awful, or he's just having a bad day, which is perfectly fine to have.
How can one talk about communicating emotion in music without mentioning the real carrier of that emotion which is the frequency of the notes? Luckily the 432 Hz tuning revolution is well under way and it will create a more peaceful, compassionate world.
I don't like this guy's attitude, he seems kind of arrogant or uppity (and no not every classical musician is that way). But this is a interesting talk. Although, it isn't hard to already know about or sense the fact that there is emotion put into classical performances. Maybe this serves as a good talk for people who are unable somehow to hear or see emotion, or for helping musicians understand how adding emotion benefits the piece.
K M I disagree and personally feel he has a genuine sweet tone. I do understand what you mean though. There were some times where he expected applause and casually praised himself, lol. He also sharply articulates words, has a higher pitch in his voice, and uses eclectic and sophisticated vocabulary. This may give the air of “I’m smarter than thou”. Nonetheless I think this is all to do with his embodiment of the violin and it’s higher ranges and sharp, biting tonality.
JASCHA WANNA BE
Wonderful points made about how important eye contact, etc, is key for a great performance. Why did he choose a cellist that almost never looks the violinist in the eye? It's pretty much a perfect case study of what NOT to do when performing as a duet. Sack the cellist, I say.
the duet was awesome and the violinist and cellist were amazing together as well as they are great musicians apart***
Personally, I thought the body language in this video conveyed a great deal of communication, even if they didn't make eye contact. I once saw Brad Mehldau and Mark Guiliana play a set of completely free improvisations in London -- keyboards and drums, and no planned structure, so you would think communication was very important there -- and it spooked me when I noticed they didn't look at each other at all. But they must have been listening to each other, even if they were perhaps too cool to show it. :-)
Robin McKenzie have you ever tried playing a cello with fast changing positions. The cello is basically facing the opposite way. You want him to constantly stare the violinist directly in the eye? You're asking for too much.
I studied with Daniel Heifetz many years ago at Peabody. He was a really horrible teacher. He even forced everyone, no matter what their physique, to play with NO shoulder rest. I have a long neck, but he didn't care. His way or the highway. And his horrible Triangle bow technique was useless. He charged a fortune for a precious hour, which was truly wasted money.
You mean this Daniel Heifetz . Not the Jascha.
@@user-op6vy3gg2b Yes, of course. He was the worst. And quite arrogant to boot.
@@endlessadventure541 I see. I once heard Daniel playing at Hollywood bowl with LA Phil. At this TED he played better. I was student of J Heifetz for 4 years in LA. And JHeifetz made all his students boys and girls not to use shoulder rest. About 6 students total at that time.
@@user-op6vy3gg2b @망히 That's really interesting. I studied with him at Peabody back in the 80's. The forced abandonment of my shoulder rest nearly broke my neck. It made it impossible to play the upper register on the g string with any control. Even when one of my favorite local Washington soloists, Jody Gatwood, taught with him for a year, he made Jody play without his shoulder rest. Most great players use shoulder rests for a reason. Heifetz really messed up my back and neck. I also heard him play the Tchaikovsky with the Baltimore SO. It was so stiff and forced I was uncomfortable watching it. After a year and a half with this tyrant I quit and went to the U of M and studied accounting.
@@endlessadventure541 I see. You are right someones need to use shoulder rest. I live in Korea now and teaching.
You may hear me playing on TH-cam- simon young kim.
I wish you continue with your violin.
wtf there are only jewish people play classical music ? those instrument must be very expensive i guess
I disagree. If you're for example an ensemble performer, it messes everyone else up. Performing not as written is digusting and selfish when you're playing with a group. Only prodigies are allowed to do this.
I think he exaggerated so that everybody gets the difference.
You can put soul and emotion into exactly what's written.
It's why a computer playing an instrument sounds so horrible to human ears even though it plays exactly what's written.
A good orchestra becomes one and a good director is key. It's a group that puts emotion.
That's why you will maybe find some recordings/orchestras/directors/ concerts touch you more than others. Every reiteration of a classical piece is just as much an interpretation.
But you are right, this guy changed what was written and exaggerated a lot.
@@muppelmuh1445 I have no memory of writing this lol sorry gamer idk what tf I was on I pinky promise I ain't this bitter irl
Look at my nigun
