    Fun fact, in French the "frog" is simply called the "heel" of the bow. Somewhere along the history of violin someone messed up the translation. Probably a violist.

    • @MissTwoSetEncyclopedia
      @MissTwoSetEncyclopedia 4 года назад +127

      Well, the soft part in the middle and back of a horse's hoof, essentially the horse's heel, is called a frog. Early bow makers would have had contact with ferriers in order to aquire the horsehair needed for bows, and it's possible that the two professions could have swapped terminology.
      Another popular theory has to do with the small frock vise that bow makers use when they are building the frog. It's possible that people began calling this part of the bow the frock after the vise, and over time, pronouciation changed until it was called a frog.

      As a mediocre amateur pianist (and worse guitarist), I find violin INSANELY hard. But yelling something like that to your face is really stupid and rude.
      And at really high levels the difficulty may be similar because people are exploring/pushing the human limits.
      Oh, and I'm a mediocre cuber too :p

    • @devintheguru
      @devintheguru 4 года назад +36

      @@kirkt3970 That's a good point. Violin takes a combination of physical intelligence (how to articulate fine motion, posture, stroke technique) and aural intelligence (knowing if your pitch is correct, if you're in tune, if you're scratchy or clean, etc). These apply to the voice, but none of these things are particularly of concern to a pianist.
      So along with violin and piano in being difficult to master, there's also the voice, somewhat easy and somewhat hard to learn, and hard to master.
      The voice is in the top with violin and piano for most difficult to master. Considering things like, you're tuning blindly, each register has different articulation techniques to get different notes with different tonal qualities, and you're also working with airflow, mouth shape, throat position, lyrics and diction (pronunciation and enunciation, which instrumentalists don't worry about).

    • @devintheguru
      @devintheguru 4 года назад +28

      @JoeysRattata It takes practice to be able to read two lines simultaneously, which is easy for some people. The reason why violin is harder to start especially is because of how much technique and posture is involved to even make a sound, and a good sound at that. Proper bow technique, pressure, angling, and finger position are all required, and in this sense, you're doing two completely different things with both hands, whereas the piano it's a matter of positioning and pressing the right keys. So this may be easy for some people to coordinate, and based on your post it would seem so, but for most people this is actually very difficult, lol.
      With piano, you can get away with bad posture and not understanding dynamics and still sound okay on piano. The piano has other challenges, such as the one you mentioned, but piano has that major advantage that only percussion instruments share, in that you don't worry about the tonality. String and many wind instruments require a great deal of muscle coordination and articulation to even produce a good sound.
      Personally I find piano wayyy easier than violin, or even guitar, because I'm not used to coordinating my hands that way. I also had a keyboard at home to play with when I was a kid, whereas I didn't touch a violin till many years later when I was in 8th grade.

    “is violin harder than piano?”
    as someone who plays both, not exactly. both are very difficult just in different ways. like as they said, pianist have more notes to play and more repertoire to learn. (both violinist and pianist have both hands doing completely different things at the same time which gets difficult)
    but violinist, as they also said, have to create intonation. to me the intonation is a bit more challenging because you have to be extremely precise and shit.

    One of the reasons that stringed instruments in general are so popular is because they have the sound that is the closest to the human voice. The way the violin is played, with the bow making the string vibrate, is very similar to how the air passing over the vocal chords makes sound. It’s easier to evoke strong emotions with stringed instruments, particularly the violin because it is in the range that most of us speak, because it quite literally sounds like someone is singing to us.

    I think many people don't really realize how difficult guitar could be (I'm talking about classical guitar). The variety of tone colours just blows your mind. There are many people who can play chords on the guitar and sing along with it but very few can do something beyond that because of difficulty of making a beautiful sound. The tone depends on many things such as right hand position, which side of the nail we pluck a string, which part of the string do we pluck, our nail form e.t.c. We also can do many techniques such as pizzicato, glissando, vibrato e.t.c. Just listen to the Prince's toys Suite by Nikita Koshkin. I bet you have never thought that guitar could sound like that.

    As a person with ADHD, I feel that piano is, in general, easier than violin. All of my hand stimming has been super useful in learning technique. I also find that the smooth texture of the keys prevents me from overstimulating myself. A former classmate of mine who played violin tried to teach me the fingering for some notes on her violin, and I was overstimulated after just two. But that’s just my take. Every neurodivergent person has different sensory issues, so my perspective could easily be the exact opposite for another neurodivert.

    • @bushDid911
      @bushDid911 2 года назад +13

      That's so interesting! I've also been diagnosed with ADHD, grew up playing piano for 3 years then switched to violin for 7 years. I've always felt that it was harder for my brain to keep track of ten individual fingers on the piano than just four on the violin. For me, four fingers with my left hand and bowing with my right grew to be just the right combination of stimulation, whereas on piano I remember feeling overwhelmed by all the potential notes to play simultaneously. I've also picked up electric bass this year and found it to be similar coordination wise to the violin, if not slightly easier and more fun. For music theory/production's sake I've been dabbling on 25 key midi keyboards and I must say it's been stimulating and fun, while challenging, especially when it comes to reading two staffs at the same time. It's interesting how reconnecting with piano as an adult has allowed me to view with a different lens what I considered was insurmountably difficult as a child. I still consider violin easier given my familiarity, but maybe I'll feel differently about piano a few years down the line. I think ultimately our brains will consider whatever instrument we've spent the most time building neural pathways with the most rewarding stimulation wise, and I'm really glad music exists for us neurodivergents to have such a positive outlet :)

    • @design8ed_nee-san977
      @design8ed_nee-san977 2 года назад +6

      @@bushDid911 What you said about familiarity makes a lot of sense. I didn’t start learning piano until my final year of high school. However, I had done 13 continuous years of ballet prior. All of the barre work I’ve ever done was solely to simple piano pieces. Hand control is a major thing all of my teachers were sticklers about. I guess somewhere in my first piano classes, my brain took all of the skills I developed with coordinating the movements of my legs and feet to music and redirected them to boost my skills in my hands. I feel that’s it’s that, dumb luck, or maybe a natural talent that causes me to progress as fast as I did in my lessons. (Practicing also deserves a good chunk of credit for that, too.)

    I play piano and tried violin for a couple of months and i would say yes violin is much harder. All the getting used to violin stuff will take the average person around a year (bowing holding it correctly fingerings etc) but literally you can start playing the piano on day one. I remember picking up the violin and shocked at how I couldn't even make a clean single note and how awkward everything feltwhen piano feels so natural and you can play a scale instantly. Sorry... that's really how I feel! I play piano at advanced level but currently looking to switch to violin. I'm old enough to have the patience now.

    piano is easier in the beginning since you can automatically play something that sounds nice (if you can even find an in tune piano), but there is a point after you've learned most of the techniques where it just becomes really hard to progress and that is mainly speed and accuracy. many really hard pieces will have massive chords jumping all over the place or 64 notes in quick succession that don't change at the same interval.

    Between piano and violin it really depends on who is playing to know which is ‘harder’. Piano _is_ easier to learn as a beginner, but if you are someone who struggles maintaining multiple rhythms and melodies simultaneously then at a professional level you are utterly screwed. Similarly, if you are dexterous but tonally inept then you will crash and burn as a violinist at any level. It really depends what kind of learner you are and what kind of skills you naturally gravitate towards which is _why_ , it is good to try and get to know multiple instruments as a beginner so that you can really pick the one that you can excel and express yourself best in.
