Wild Fiddler’s Rag is a Bluegrass fiddle piece (originally by Howdy Forrester) that I arranged for solo violin last year. It’s so much fun to play as an encore! When I was writing my arrangement, I was also influenced by Mark O’Connor and other great American fiddlers who play their own versions of the piece. This video is when I performed it as an encore after playing with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra a couple of weeks ago. I just loved the Indianapolis audience's reaction to this encore

Here is another short clip from the 2021 Colorado Music Festival in Boulder, Colorado. The violin concerto by Felix Mendelssohn is in some ways the first truly romantic concerto. It breaks itself free from the standard conventions, and starts with no orchestral introduction, instead jumping right away into a theme full of longing and passion, over an anxious and restless accompaniment. Ferdinand David, for whom the piece was written, had requested a piece written in "stilo moltissimo concertanti

Kreisler originally pretended that this was a newly-discovered piece by the baroque composer Gaetano Pugnani when he first published it in 1905 - only 30 years later, when the piece had become very popular and it was already widely suspected that Kreisler had written the whole thing himself, did he acknowledge that it was in fact his own composition!

About four years ago, I posted a video of a live performance of Paganini Caprice no. 5 (https://youtu.be/Zg_Hf_StXzU). It was my encore piece for a long time, and I usually played the middle section with all separate bowing. Occasionally, there were some cranky comments asking when I will make a video with the original bowing! The "original" bowing of the fast middle section of this piece consists of throwing the bow to play 3 notes in ricochet downbow, and then taking one upbow -- then repeatin

By popular request, I've uploaded the sheet music to my arrangement of Orange Blossom Special to my website! (at www.augustinhadelich.com, under "scores") The performance that you hear in this video was recorded last week in Pittsburgh. I love the reaction of audiences when I play this piece in America! This one had a particularly nice "yeehaw”. The arrangement has changed a bit over the past few months, and I'm sure I'll keep changing things. I wrote "homage to Michael Cleveland" in the score.

I've been playing a lot of Bach, and have a great time exploring this music with a baroque bow that I got last year. I keep going back and forth about the tempo of the Adagio of the first sonata. This is a more flowing version that I filmed today. Yesterday I also filmed a slightly calmer version, which is on YouTube at https://youtu.be/0r3ICfVsHgk As I was listening back to that video, I felt it should flow more, and overall I am happier with this tempo. But there are still more details I want

Warming up before my performance of the Britten violin concerto with the Minnesota Orchestra on January 6, 2024. The harmonics at the end of the first movement of the Britten are incredibly hard. The printed way to play the last double stop harmonic doesn’t even work, and all the alternative fingerings have drawbacks. It’s a beautiful ending though, with the harmonics floating up and getting softer and softer — when they all speak. #classicalviolin #violin #britten #violinistsofinstagram🎻 #augu

New arrangement! Orange Blossom Special, originally by Ervin T. Rouse, is one of the most famous American fiddle tunes and I have wanted to play it for a long time. My arrangement was heavily inspired by Michael Cleveland's incredible performances -- many thanks are due also to Alastair Eng for transcribing Michael Cleveland's version. It is still constantly changing, so I expect my rendition will be quite different by the end of the year! This video is from my concert yesterday (May 17 2024) in

Last week I said I had another project in mind as I explore music by black composers, so here it is. While I'm learning some new pieces and practicing for my next videos, I thought we can collaborate on one. Like a "Play With Augustin" instead of only Asking Augustin :-) This way, more people will get to know the piece, and I'm also generally curious what submissions I will receive and what the result will be. I'll probably pick a number of submissions and cut them together in sections -- and I
