Jul 26, 2008 - I have seen this video a long time ago, and it helped me a lot last time when I tried playing the song for my orchestra audition.Do you think that you could help me by posting a video that could help me with the song Concerto No. 9 in A Minor (composed by De Bariot)?I need to play it for my next violin audition. Thanks if you could help!
BenChanViolin Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Unfortunately my current video list is over 20 requests, so it would take me a few more weeks to get to this request. Would you like me to still add it?
faintingfancies100 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - sure, thx!its ok if you need a few more weeks because my violin audition is either in April 13 or April 20, which is, like, 10 weeks later.
faintingfancies100 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - plus I've been working on it for a LONG time, so it will be great if i can get some help

Jul 26, 2008 - i know you said you had a long list of videos, but is there a possible way that you can make a video of this whole song.
sportsfan1937 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Hey. i really want to do this peice for an audition for a city symphony (youth) and i was wondering if you can post a video of this peice, only the whole song. and tryouts are in mid april
BenChanViolin Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I should be able to get to it in a bit. I typically get through 3-4 videos a week, so it may take up to 5 weeks, which puts us at beginning-mid March.

Jul 26, 2008 - Can you play Giovanni Viotti Violin Concerto No. 22?It's an awesome piece
BenChanViolin Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I'll add it to my growing list of requests and handle it as I have time - thanks for the idea!
poman265 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - haha, sorry I didn't realize you were so busy
FlyingHye Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I've just realized your violin has amazing sound when you play, that's some violin!
Slashtap3 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - You are amazing! In twenty minutes you got those double stops to sound so in tune and clear. I might PM you with questions later. I need help lol.

Jul 26, 2008 - Lol thanksI passed!=DMessed up a little =(

Jul 26, 2008 - your violin sounds amazing, i bet it really projects in an auditorium. The addition of an explanation to your video was a good idea. One can pick up on many techniques through this. Thank you and keep up the good work. Since this video was based off of a request can you do Sibelius if you already know it?
serafinichess Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - This is GREAT stuff! Your videos are becoming much better than the highly staged videos of the Sassmanhaus violimasterclass. You are honest, showing warts and all, giving us amateurs some hopeThanks

Jul 26, 2008 - On the first page. Measure 29-32. How do I make my double and triple stops sound neat without the crunch. I tried less pressure, but it wasn't very good. Is it the violin? How do I fix it?
sportsfan1937 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - how do you get the double stops to sound neat. Mine are very crunchy and it drains out the tone. i tried using less pressure but then its like bowing without rosin. it didnt work. what should i do and what is the problem. thanks

rapter9800 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - You could get an E-string that has those bands like the other strings.I got one of those, and those double stops don't make the crunching noise anymore.
l0v3ly Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - That was wonderful! Your phrasing, I believe, was beautifully done. Good job & I love the sound of your violin :]
