Nathan Cole, cadenza for Mozart Violin Concerto No. 4
Download my cadenza and learn how to write your own:

Violin: 1729 Stradivari, "Jack Benny"
Bow: Finn Meyer, 2001
For years, I'd promised myself that when (if) I got to play a Mozart concerto with orchestra, I'd play my own cadenza. I waited, 10...15...20 years.
Then I got the chance. On 2 days' notice. So... tried-and-true Joachim it was. "The next time, I swear I'll have my own cadenza ready!" I vowed.
Well, I still don't have a Mozart 4 date on the calendar, but my cadenza will be ready. Unless I decide to tear it down and rebuild it.
The download linked above contains not only the final part for this cadenza, but my sketches and key motifs. Why not try your hand at wr...

    Hi Mr. Cole. I'm really appreciate for your all videos. I'm trying to develop my skills and these masterclasses videos really helps me. May I ask you that can you share some videos about music theory, something like what is cadenza and how its working, when the composer putting in the music, how it starts and continue etc. Because i love the way you're teaching so clear and understandable and i need to develop my music theory. Because i understand with watching videos better then reading. Thanks a lot! I wish you health, greetings from Turkiye 🌼

    From what I gather here, and in another sub-harmonic demonstration video, I think the resulting sub-harmonic pitch is always a major 7th below the sub-harm. node that's pressed. (In your video, you pressed a node located at c#4, and the resulting pitch was a d3.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By the way, may I compliment you greatly on just how beautifully crystal you had produced the sub-harm sound? In the recent past, I started writing a Viola passage that contained subharmonics like this, not knowing how viable it would be. Another video had shown that it was possible but quite difficult; the Violinist (not naming names, obviously) was able to do it, but poorly. Discouraged, I cancelled my intentions to include this extended technique. Thanks to your video demonstrating it excellently here, however, I now feel more confident to put the passage back into my composition. 👍

    • @achen5689
      @achen5689 4 месяца назад

      I do want to reassure you, I'm only include 2 or 3 pitches below C3 (Viola); in a section that is bi-tonal or atonal. Momentary growling while using the sub-harmonic could be quite appropriate (in what I'm writing).

    your box method is great. I use it for my golf swing all the time, but I've heard it called the "Goldilocks Method" (it's too hot, too cold, just right). Being able to feel what is "just right" requires you to be able to do too much or too little to feel what is "just right". Great vid!

  • @natemidnight

    I was watching a Yehudi Menuhin left hand technique video. It appears he only contacts the violin with his thumb and has a space on the other side of the neck. It doesn't appear you play this way. I find it near impossible to support the violin doing it Menuhin's way. I can see how if you could you would gain incredible freedom in the left hand but it seems impossible for me. I think many violinists do not play this way so I would say it's not necessary but I wondered if you could comment on this. Have you tried at all to play that way?

  • @quest-cequecesttonvisage
    @quest-cequecesttonvisage 4 месяца назад

    Hi Nathan! I know I'm bit late but how can I spiccato faster than 90 bpm (16th notes)? Up until the sautillé speed (for me, that's around 120 bpm), I just can't play it faster, bow just falls down to string and doesn't bounce. Also, I find it quite difficult to play in different dynamics, I would be very pleased if you have any tips. Thanks in advance!
