How To Play Violin Vibrato
A subtle vibrato produced by rapidly shaking the hand in the same plane as the string. The string itself is not moved. This is how a violin player sweetens the tone - hence the name.
To (play) is a poetry collection by Czeslaw Milosz. It was first published in 2000.
The edge of evening...
"A violin’s vibrato wounds the heart of woe,
A tender heart detests the black of nullity,
The sky, a lofty altar, lovely in the gloom;
The sun is drowning in the evening’s blood-red glow.
A tender heart detests the black of nullity,
And lovingly preserves each trace of long ago!
The sun is drowning in the evening’s blood-red glow …
Your memory shines through me like an ostensory!"
~ Charles Baudelaire, 1821-1867 ~
From "Evening Harmony"
With thanks to Colombes for this version in French:
Harmonie du soir
Voici venir les temps ou vibrant sur sa tige
Chaque fleur s'evapore ainsi qu'un encensoir ;
Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir ;
Valse melancolique et langoureux vertige !
Chaque fleur s'evapore ainsi qu'un encensoir ;
Le violon fremit comme un coeur qu'on afflige ;
Valse melancolique et langoureux vertige !
Le ciel est triste et beau comme un grand reposoir.
Le violon fremit comme un coeur qu'on afflige,
Un coeur tendre, qui hait le neant vaste et noir !
Le ciel est triste et beau comme un grand reposoir ;
Le soleil s'est noye dans son sang qui se fige.
Un coeur tendre, qui hait le neant vaste et noir,
Du passe lumineux recueille tout vestige !
Le soleil s'est noye dans son sang qui se fige...
Ton souvenir en moi luit comme un ostensoir !
Not easy to capture with my little camera but I love it so much despite the flaws that it is in here.
2/7/07: The part you throw away.
Body tension made me quit the violin: I could never relax enough to really ease into it. I could never relax enough to do vibrato. Last night my shoulder tensed up in such fierce pain I feared I had injured myself. This morning it is better, mostly: I think it was just stress.
