Difficult passages often feel hard because we assume there’s only one correct way to play them.
In this featured lesson segment, Augustin Hadelich challenges that assumption. He shows how small technical substitutions can produce the same musical result while feeling far more intuitive under the fingers.
By rethinking fingerings, shifting strategies, and the balance between left and right hand responsibility, Augustin demonstrates how clarity and control can emerge without added tension. The notes don’t change. The sound doesn’t change. But the experience of playing does.
This lesson segment offers a glimpse into a larger approach to problem solving on the violin. One that prioritizes sound, efficiency, and musical results over rigid ideas of correctness. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best solution is the one that lets the music breathe.
