Augustin, I saw your winning final live at Indianapolis competition a few years ago (I was a classical violinist studying at IU). LOVED your Bartok performance!

So I have some nerdy violin questions for you:

Which scale system do you swear by?

What is your favorite Galamian rhythm (or bowing) for practicing scales / fast passages?

Favorite etude?

Any tips on interpretating new pieces? How do you approach interpretation in general?

Favorite old school violinist and favorite modern violinist?

You are Italian born but with a German heritage and German family name - which nationality do you feel closest to?

I'm teaching at a music school in the Middle East - who would I talk to if our school wanted to bring you to give our students a performance and a workshop?
