This video is part of the following story on Violinist.com: www.violinist.com/blog/laurie/20245/29997/
It can happen right before a performance or audition: something is memorized, polished, you've even performed it a few times - then some weird glitch starts happening: a memory slip, a missed shift, a bungled string crossing. What do you do, to ensure it all goes well? Violinist.com's Laurie Niles describes some positive strategies for dealing with those last-minute glitches.

    I've had the privilege to attend to one of Mr. Hadelich's masterclasses and I sat on the first row. Stood less than 2 meters from him while he played the most famous passages of every great violin concerto on this beautiful violin of his. As a violinist myself I can say: his violin has a beautiful voice. It's not punchy, but it's a dolcissimo, dark ad also warm sound.

  • @Skinny_Karlos

    It's a wonderful violin and I wish I were the type worthy of such an instrument. I have a nineteenth century German violin which does have a lovely tone and warm sound but is, of course without doubt, entirely outclassed by the del Gesu and were it a choice between that and a Stradivarious I'd choose the former every time. There's just something about them that is so 'inner soul' enhancing to me. Not to all I understand but to me they are THE violins of violins !! Mark - Australia.

    One of the top 3 violinists who have ever lived, sitting right here.....talking about his magnificent Guarneri with it's astounding provenance. However I am reminded of several of the old Henny Youngman stand-up comedy routines where he comes out holding a violin and bow and commences to deliver all manner of one-liners and comedic stories, occasionally raising the violin to his chin with bow in hand BUT NEVER ACTUALLY PLAYING IT BEFORE HE GOES OFF INTO THE NEXT STORY!!! Such was his whole comedy routine.....repeatedly raising the violin as if to finally play.......but then never does!!! Insane!!

    3:45 Laurie Niles' question was the difference between playing in a chamber orchestra and a larger one (i guess a symphony orchestra included), but Mr.Tetzlaff didn't answer it, he emphazied he enjoyed both, but they should be different, and we are curious about differences.

    What a marvelous man. What he said right at the end reminds me of quote, the source of which I forget except he was a writer. He said that some things become so familiar they become rubbed smooth of meaning. This can apply to any work of art. I remember when I stood in front of Picasso's Guernica. It was an overwhelming experience. Same thing hearing the Bach Chaconne live for the first time. Suddenly it wasn't familiar any more. At the age of 63, there's lots of music that I only want to listen to live now. The Schubert Quintet, for instance. To my mind there should always be something special about it and there should be the risk that something might go wrong. This was a piece I first heard 50 years ago on a chamber music course. There is something about the timbres and sonorities Schubert creates that you only get when you're in the same room as the players.

I tried many of them and each time they change me the sound post!Really charlatans.. About the E I agree that affects the G but also the balance of the strings..I put rather E olive..that give me a g less dull!! Also I find that most of the strings are on the market are made for dark,old violins...so for a modern we have less choice.. Recently I tried the New lakatos pizzicato set and D,G are very good,dark,darker than the peter Infeld i used before..Only the A is very thin,and they are sold as a set only..So I dont continue to buy them..is silly,otherwise i could match them with another A..but I will not pay for the set plus another A string!I will make 2nd review on violinist.com about this set..

My father played some of these to me when I was in the bath when I was about 11 (back in the 1960s), because he said it was the best acoustics in our house. I didn't mind - it was heaven.
