      I was just thinking about something like that while practicing the other day. Part of the sound of the cello, moreso than the other members of the violin family, is the percussion of the left hand on the fingerboard. Different fingering patterns and different levels of intensity as you press down the strings make such a difference to the sound, but it's not something that we talk about much. None of my teachers ever mentioned the sound of the left hand at work, at least that I can recall.

    • @TheVirIngens
      @TheVirIngens 4 года назад +16

      @@mox9076 bold statement, I'm sure there have always been instrument makers who did not try to imitate the human voice. In the renaissance, the viola da gamba was praised for its voicelike sound, and it's quite similar to the modern day cello. However, there were of course lots of other instruments, which wouldn't all sound like human voices - that would have been a bit boring wouldn't it?
      The range of a trombone and cello might be similar to a human voice, but that's not really enough to "mimic" it in my opinion - any instrument can be made in different sizes to fit certain ranges.
      The human voice is unique in that it can drastically vary the tone colour (by saying different vowels), which only few instruments can, like the digeridoo and the jew's harp, both of which only play one note. Other instruments can vary tone colour to a degree, brass instruments with embouchure and different mutes, string instruments with the string on which the note is played and where it is bowed/plucked along the string. But besides very niche instruments, like the digeridoo, none come close to imitating vowels in speech, perhaps a trumpet with a plunger mute comes closest.

    • @Metrion77
      @Metrion77 4 года назад +12

      There's no single answer. Music like birdsong is an example of pitch and volume and harmony being an effective communication method. Drums, horns, and other instruments may have started as ways to communicate over long distances.
      From there, the human ear had the most to say about the development of pleasure in music. The ear registers sound using small hairs known as stereocilia. As sound passes down the sensory organ, the stereocilia respond to different pitches, going from high to low. The issue is that neighboring regions of the ear can interfere with each other, so playing two notes at the same time with a slight difference in pitch can lead to the ear being confused by what note is playing and can lead to an unpleasant sensation known as "beating". This is why dissonant sounds (a C and D or a C and B played together) are unpleasant, and harmonies (a C and E, F, G, or A) are pleasant. But, we humans are conflict driven. Dissonance makes harmony even more pleasant, the same way an unpleasant villain makes us cheer the hero's victory, and how spice or vinegar improves the flavors of sugar and fat.
      The cello was developed in the 1500s as the renaissance hit with full force, and humans began seeking pleasure through art and explored the pleasures of dissonance and harmony. In the 1700s, with 200 years of cello music as inspiration, Bach revolutionized (although some would argue "perfected") the use of cello and harmony to produce pleasurable sounds in the human brain.

      Was an interesting guy though - 9th grade education because he lied to get into the Marines at around 16 to fight in WWII. Fought in the Pacific, including Guadalcanal, then came home, started his own construction business, and moved deep into the woods with his wife. Lived a pretty self-sufficient life on a beautiful piece of land. Didn't really ever talk about the war if he could help it.

      I have been practicing this now on my violin and some on my friends cello and it’s truly amazing how good it feels to play correctly. I did it right and it sounded correct when I was in my living room and I stopped and just gaped at my own hands and instrument. I am 14 years old and it is so amazing how music like this can be developed.

I will remember you forever, Yo-Yo Ma, for the voice you speak from your cello, and the way it dances rainbows in soul. Thank you for your mastery of this incredible instrument, and for bringing Bach to life again. 🙏❤

  • @joelrue11
    @joelrue11 3 года назад +148

    If you really look at it, there's something incredibly beautiful about this piece of music in conjunction with the visuals of the white lines. The piece, beginning with a sort of disjointed dance between G and D, feels very composed and methodical. Moving toward a goal, an endgame, it feels ready and willing to meet any challenge. But then it begins to sway, to move, to shift and shake. It feels as if the piece has lost its way, in a meandering, piecemeal way; it isn't bad, just off on its own way. But then, finally, the piece climbs and climbs, bit by tiny bit, until we reach a sudden peak and we find ourselves back around at the start of it all.
    Take all of that, and add to it the video and the lines. The lines, when near someone doing something (Ma playing the cello, the girl on ice, the kids in the alley, the ballerina, etc...), shake and move rapidly. But when they get away from someone, they effects of the people are muted, so that the lines flow smoothly on. And don't take that as me saying that there is effect; on the contrary, everyone always moves the lines the tiniest bit for us all, as process goes. When you frame it in that regard, then all of a sudden each person contributes in their own way and to their own effect. As if to say, "Look, we're all connected by this force, this energy, this effect, and we all have an immediate impact; but if you want to shake the lines around others, it's really going to take some effort, something spectacular."
    And when you combine this meandering journey of beauty and mystery that finally circles back to its powerful and authoritative starting point with the notion that we are all connected and all exist on the same flowing force, but we only have small effects, think about it: Yo-Yo Ma is trying to paint a picture of what he says at the beginning:
    Just some thoughts.
    Brilliant piece of music, Mr. Ma absolutely nails it.
    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, it's been a long year and I hope whoever reads this finds joy for themselves.
