De Boevé on Koussevitzky's Concerto Op. 3

Professor Wies De Boevé leads student David Tinoco Cacho, accompanied by Jesús Gómez Madrigal in an interpretation of Koussevitzky's Concerto, Op. 3. The professor mentions the recordings of Koussevitzky playing his own works and he specifically recommends the students to listen to the recording of this Concerto. He also gives some indications about character, vibrato, harmony accuracy, and the character of syncopations as if he was describing the sunrise - with a lot of intensity and keeping the tension. Additionally, the professor explains how to get a better sound in a certain passage with chromaticism while he is playing . In the passage alla breve, the student has to think in 2, not in 4 parts, find a different sound colou, an easier and more relaxing sound − and pay attention to the anacrusis. The professor also advises the student not to look at the fingers to find the position on the string, as he does not need it. He proposes some fingerings, articulations, bow strokes and directions.
