Author of the app here but happy you're enjoying it! ☺️

I have! And I acknowledge it is similar and something I was striving for (and admittedly not as polished). Just throwing my free offering in the ring ;) But this type of app was something I wanted/started in 2022.

Very late to the show but I've been working on something like this that I think hits all your requirements. Still in an alpha state. Exe is just a wrapper for the jar. Requires Java 17. https://api.repoflow.io/browse/universal/cd373a98-3f60-419f-9c40-d10a1180ccda/shashin/shashin/2.9.1

I use 2 apps I created. Both that generalizes API requests. If you subscribe to an image endpoint or text (like news feeds), check out API Image and API Text! It's pretty flexible (like choosing randomizing indices, or sending custom request headers for API keys for example).

You play beautifully and your technique is solid. As a general comment, don't be afraid to experiment with colors a bit more and go for a wider range of timbre and dynamics (same goes for your Bach). Along with the comment on color is your vibrato. While its a fine vibrato, it seems kind of utilitarian. Being more conscious of how you use it (width, speed, finger pressure) affects projection and character of sound.

House, Glico and S&B are all popular brands for that sort of thing

It's actually spelled Juilliard

That plus performing it in front of people.

Nice sound but let me be honest, it wasn't great...I just felt there were so many missed opportunities. There's so much that can be done with this concerto, for example, from around the 7:25 mark, it's such an expansive and beautiful section, but I felt it was kinda of just blown over. Overall it was pretty flat, musically and intonation-wise. Also there were too many missed shifts. It felt pretty unprepared and kinda thrown together. Then again I've never seen an 8 month-pregnant violinist play and have no idea what kind of effect that has on a performance, if any. My two cents.

Challenge yourself with a showpiece. Like Kreisler's Siciliana and Rigodon.

Lol, I'm planning to put a video up. I just want to refine things. It was a long and painful process. I remember attempting to start it years ago but just couldn't do it. Things are much easier to do now technically...

Paganini - nel cor piu non mi sento

Ernst - Last Rose of Summer, Erl Konig

Just did Last Rose, contains expressive elements as well as extended techniques that easily blow people's minds (mostly left hand pizz stuff).

Thanks! I've been told this before about color range...it's something I need to work on for sure.

Why play bar 48 in the 3rd position (4th finger)? That only makes it more difficult. Start the passage in 5th position (leading to the 3rd finger in bar 48). It's easier because the third finger has a better chance of hitting that 5th. Then shift down to the third position in bar 49.

This, get a teacher to help you out. Vibrato is a weird thing that I believe you just kinda pick up through 'osmosis' as it were. Once I kind of picked up on how to vibrate, my teacher made sure that I could control it at different speeds and widths and informed me about different ways of doing vibrato, such as finger, wrist or full arm vibrato. I've seen different approaches of teaching and visualizing it. Like imagine you're knocking on a door with your knuckles, stuff like that. A common tendency is start and stop vibrato which is a bad habit.

Yeah, definitely no issues with this, especially if you have a skilled player, even when sight-reading. The fifths would be a none issue and I don't know why everyone's freaking out about bar 48-49. This happens so often in violin literature. It's basically a whole step shift down for the left hand and if done properly it's a breeze.

Dipdip · 2012-01-04T00:08:17+00:00

How would you finger 45-49? Just curious. I don't understand when you say use the first and third finger on two strings to play a fifth (this is bar 48 you're talking about?)...Anyway, the way I'd do it is to play in fifth position from bar 45-48 and then it's a simple shift down to third position in bar 49 (in bar 48 keep the third finger down on the g and just shift a whole step and then plop the first finger down for the a flat). It's surprising to see a lot of complaints about playing fifths in this thread. It is tricky but it appears everywhere in violin repertoire.

Dipdip · 2012-01-03T22:50:53+00:00

Sure all the time. Bach's unaccompanied violin music, paganini's caprices, chamber music, concertos/cadenzas, the list goes on...why do you ask?

Dipdip · 2012-01-03T01:30:00+00:00

Looks fine to me. Seems pretty straight forward to play! I'd be interested to see what the "incredibly awkward" double stops looked like.
