Episode 36: Plucking and bowing at the same time - one violinist sounds like two! - Inquiries from my Inbox: 12-year-old Becky asks, "How do you learn to pluck and play at the same time?" - Random Musical Thought: The unanswerable question, "How many concerts do you play each year?" - One of the coolest violin techniques ever invented - left-hand pizzicato and bowing simultaneously. Includes musical excerpts from Paganini's Caprice No. 24, Paganini's Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento Variations, Ernst's Last Rose of Summer Variations, Paganini's The Witches, Mark O'Connor's Caprice No. 4, and my own Birthday Variations and God Defend New Zealand Variations.
