Jascha Heifetz - Hora Staccato: I free for downloading

As someone who just started staccato practice yesterday, I watched this, watched again, shuddered, discarded my violin and fled.

This man has the greatest bow hand precision and technique that I have ever seen before. I'll just go smash my violin now.

omg the staccato are so clean

What surprises me each time I listen to Mr. Heifetz' playing, is how he matches the style of the time while still remaining on top of the interpretation. In short: He can keep the tonality of what other composers/musicians have done under control as well as express himself more openly as the interpreter. Sort of like a chef preparing a traditional recipe and bringing the fullest flavor of what is expected of the dish.

I'm here from twoset... this guy is definitely a LingLing

Heifetz: Spends hours perfecting flawless staccato technique My Teacher: Just practice a scale going downwards. Me: Gets shaky bow in performance coincidentally with the beat on staccato part

All the twoset comments from a couple of hours ago

Yoooooo YT algorithm is scaring me

Heifetz's right arm explaining the purpose of down bow staccato: "because I can"

I own a record with this performance on it, and I thought it was quite impressive. Of course, when listening to a record, you can’t see the performance. Now, watching this video, and being able to see how he is playing this, and I am absolutely amazed. I never would have believed that it was possible to get such tone and control just on single bows. I’m just absolutely amazed. This is absolutely beyond my understanding. You’re a madman, Heifetz (Also yes, I did come here from the recent Twoset video)

There’s something about black and white violin playing that’s just so...cosy

Thank God there were cameras filming him like this.

trying to sync this video to twoset's video to be also amazed

52 people think they could play it better! Ha, amazing so many talents lost in nowhere..........we never heard of them

00:25 look at his rigth hand, its legal?
