“At a master level, it’s no longer about technique, but about feeling and interpretation of the music, isn’t it?”

Exactly what I meant : at a master level, you’re supposed to already know YOUR OWN FEELING.

Too many classical players are like little robots/clones.

The video clearly shows a man making fun of a technically talented girl who plays a certain piece of music the way she chose to.

Of course, she also chose to participate to the class but it’s too bad that, as the little robot that she is, she blindly follows the dictatorship of her “master” when it come to feeling and interpretation.

As far as I can tell, Perlman doesn’t mean to force his students to play a certain way, but rather only suggested things to try. At a master level, it’s no longer about technique, but about feeling and interpretation of the music, isn’t it?

In any case, I personally found this video very inspiring, and I truly wish for a teacher like Perlman. Thanks for the link Lori!

Well, the guy is funny, but I hate people who force others to play music a certain way. It’s up to the musicien to play a song the way he wants to play it. Teachers should teach only technical stuff. I don’t see what’s good to tell: “slow down here, do that there, etc.”

So, definitely not inspirational for me.

Bye Lori have a safe and fun trip deep into the territory of the unknown. I’ll try to broadcast jazz music when you are there to keep you amused. How are you going to hear your wah pedal without electricity???

*adjusts glasses* There is nothing wrong with adjusting your glasses and I object to that icon being used to represent geekiness. *adjusts glasses*

Yea, ’tis folly to attempt to hide from the Mighty All-Seeing, All-Knowing Google.

That test post was up for less than one minute. I was test posting from my mobile phone, but the .wav attachment I tried to send ended up as text IN the post. Ugly. I’ll be without internet access for a while, and want to be able to post remotely.

Actually, that’s not quite true — the real reason is that I’m just looking for excuses to explore my geeky side

Unfortunately the test went out to my Feedburner subscribers as well — sorry, folks!

You clicked a link to http://lorinator.feminoise.com/testing-remote-posting/ , but it doesn’t exist on this server. An administrator has been emailed about this problem, too. You can click back and try again, or search for what you’re looking for:

You can’t hide from Google Reader heheh

I’d love to see this whole movie. I think it’s called “I know I played every note.”

I particularly like the performance that he gets out of the one girl, when he gets her to slow down (for virtuoso purposes!) and not be so stingy with her bow. Total goosebumps.
