Bach’s Chaconne challenges violinists not just technically, but physically and mentally. In this focused lesson segment, Charles Yang breaks down how chord playing can feel freer and more musical when weight and timing are approached intentionally.

Rather than forcing sound from the left hand, the emphasis shifts to bow distribution, bass support, and melodic awareness inside dense textures. It’s a perspective that helps advanced players reconnect with the line beneath the harmony.


Watch the excerpt and work through the accompanying PDF to practice the beloved Chaconne with new clarity.
