π» J.S. Bach Partita No. 3, III: Gavotte en Rondeau. One of his most instantly recognizable violin works, playful and joyful. I try to bring out the dance character of this movement when I play it. I played it here as an encore after playing Mendelssohn Concerto in 2018 with the talented students of the Karajan-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker.
π©πͺ Mendelssohn concerto masterclass! When we have these running 8th notes under slurs, it's important to make sure they don't get swallowed up by the orchestra. Good articulation is key, and donβt let the fast notes run away from you! Besides projection, we have to keep in mind the musical line and direction so that we always have a clear sense of where the music is heading. (Also a good place to start is understanding the harmonic progression!)![]()
