This vid is 9 years old... why didn't I know anything about Roman Kim until today? What a discovery... this man is awesome. What is he doing here? Double stops to create two voices and a third one with the left hand pizz... this is legendary.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach You can watch this interview about Roman's beliefs and what he is all about: ruclips.net/video/f8bZWV-XGTo/видео.html btw he does tour and play his music with orchestras
"violin solo" is used in a broad range of contexts these days, including situations where the background is pre-recorded. So I don't feel that Rum and Bass's comment was redundant.
Hey Roman! I have practised your piece now for a few days and can already play the first line :D It sounds so much easier than it really is. You need to give us the secret on how to practise 40 hours a day!
Not only amazing technique....but also the arrangement (he re-assigned every Air's notes carefully to make it "playable" by single violin) is incredible.
Just your ordinary crescendo double stop with left hand pizz at the same time, why not. And of course it sounds amazing, because of course it does. Because f*ck you and your lil flute. Like whose playing would be affected by some 4 minute long pinky pizzicato
this is really remarkable. just to perform the crazy left hand manipulations required here and "get the notes", you could forgive if the sound quality was not great or the artistic content was not there, but this is actually a beautiful performance; you can just listen to it as a great piece of music, and forget the unbelievable machinations going on to actually make it happen. wow!
Do you know how many instruments humans need to produce that sound?!! it is like every finger has it's own brain and in top of all that he makes it looks easy. Man I love you
OMG! He’s beautifully played a quartet piece simultaneously. I can barely wrap my mind around what he just did. I had to watch this video several times. Unreal.
This one of the most impressive musical performance I have ever seen. This is out of this world...this guy is a genuis and deserves much more recognition!!!! he would have become a legend if he was born in the 19th century!
The technique is called left-hand pizzicato. It's an advanced technique, only used occasionally in very difficult pieces. It's pretty impressive though, huh?
@@late8641 To be honest, on its own, left hand pizz. is not very difficult in most cases. Here however he is playing 3 voices simultaniously and for the intervals here to be possible to play, he changed the pitch of 1 or 2 strings (I'm not really sure which ones). The left hand positions here are very uncomfortable, awkward and extremely difficult to play in tune while keeping musicality. Most of the time he is basically playing 3 or 4 note chords while also using a finger to do pizz. , which must also speak. It may not look or sound like it, but it is probably one of the hardest violin pieces ever created.
Wow-- that is really amazing. The pizzicato accompaniment is so clean-- and the melodic line stays totally smooth and singing. At first I was looking for the "other player"-- then I realized it was all him.
Very impressive indeed! Kim's innovative technique never ceases to bamboozle, but in this particular case his positively diabolical skill is matched by celestial dynamics. Now that really is pure wizardry!
Roman should you have time please respond to your comments. These are also fine artists whom are easy to speak to and approach. You are developing a fan club which is one way to gain great favor with many. I have already encouraged many performers and artist to watch your performances.
Phenomenal! Just watching this makes me understand how guitarists back in the late 70s and 1980s felt when they first heard/saw Eddie Van Halen! Many guitarist stopped playing no joke! That really happened.
Pure genius. I think probably Roman is the most talented violin player in history. His ability is really unbelievable. I think he is not the most famous living violinist because his talent is really shocking…it’s somehow scaring the ease he has while playing so incredibly virtuously…he is probably seen more like a phenomenon than like a violinist. Pure and total genius.
Such Delicacy. One suspects just reading the transcription would put stretchmarks on your brain. I know someone must practice and probably do push-ups on the fingertips. Thunderstuck I am. Thank you for this treatment, for investing your time and energy into making it seem so lucid and transparent. Makes me want to live an entire nother life learning more fiddle.
This young man is truly talented, and deserves to be much better known! The playing you see and hear here is on a level with Leonid Kogan and Ruggerio Ricci! Bravissimo!
WOW. Just amazing. I'm no violinist so I'm like in a 2D perspective watching what 5D would look like. It's like he's the whole orchestra. As if playing just one instrument isn't hard enough, he's doing it for like 4.
Not really all that complicated, when you know where the notes are and you can get it in tune, however the violinist's interpretation of the music is absolutely more important than anything. I have tried and understand the mechanics of the violin but am a long way away from getting to this stage. Try it if it moves you so, you never know.
You really get across the original meaning of the piece. You truly feel the devotion and adoration of his God that drove Bach's work. The faith, the love that he felt while writing them is portrayed perfectly
If you want to find Bach right now, just listen to the maniacal laughter and bone-shattering applause. And if you dig in you'll see he's sitting up pointing right at Roman Kim. That's one happy dead composer.
Start practicing you can play this too. If you always play something thats comfortable and easy you'll never get better. Roman Kim practiced this hard and failed countless times. Thats what separates the great from the good. The greats fail much more than the good. Embrace the suck, as we'd say in the military I play electric guitar, and I practiced for a couple of years, got okay. Then I just played all the things I could play, and never really challenged myself anymore. I never improved much at all after that, and I realized it. Then I started just try harding stuff I cant play, I started practicing knowing I'll fail time and time again. In 5 months I made more progress than I had made in 3 years prior. Human body is an amazing thing, if you dont ask it the impossible you wont improve. For example when I hit some arbitrary milestone (like you did with being able to play this normally) I didnt celebrate, I just made my practice harder. It was time to level up
I'm not a violinist but I loved how he could sustain a note on one string while playing an accompanying melody on another without at all affecting the sustained note. That can't be easy right? Plus add the left-hand pizzicato and you're in alien territory.
Incredibly moving and as someone who studied violin is insanely impressive. Not many kids are like let me take this moderately difficult piece and combine my part with 2 other instruments. 🤩
Something smells here.. His sick talent. This is the most sickest discouraging pure damn fxxking amazing talent ever. Like ever. I love you and hate you at the same time very much 🤣😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@@ChiefHerzensCoach what do you mean by "being absorbed by himself" ?
Because 2-set hadn't mentioned him? :)

@@ChiefHerzensCoach I don’t really understand the phrase “being absorbed by himself”. Could you explain it to me
I had the same thought. I came here from a recent TwoSet Violin video!
I am terribly impressed by this. Bravo.
Only verified comment I think I've ever seen on this channel! And you got the first comment on his channel!
@@stoningupper Yes, he is amazing!
continue smalin
You must also see how his brother plays:
ruclips.net/channel/UC3fmOpVLlZc55nZB_dL8jTw
Both of them are really just insanely incredible!!
still alive pog
What he is doing is exceedingly difficult. Non-violinists might not understand that he is creating every sound you hear.
[Violin Solo] >>> "is creating every sound you hear"
yep...
Yes it is amazing. I would die trying to play double stops and pizz with another finger at the same time!
"violin solo" is used in a broad range of contexts these days, including situations where the background is pre-recorded. So I don't feel that Rum and Bass's comment was redundant.
I hadn't realised that..I can appreciate it all the more after learning that .Thank you
He's literally playing 3 notes in two different styles at once, it is otherworldly... I am having trouble learning just the arco part
thank you!!))
God save you brother
I think even the paganini is impressed!
I am your fan from Indonesia, Mr. Kim
Hey Roman! I have practised your piece now for a few days and can already play the first line :D It sounds so much easier than it really is. You need to give us the secret on how to practise 40 hours a day!
Another amazing video! Legendary! Thank you so much for uploading and letting everyone enjoy while being so impressed!
최고에요!
OMG... That's what I call multitasking
Not only amazing technique....but also the arrangement (he re-assigned every Air's notes carefully to make it "playable" by single violin) is incredible.
love the air quotes on "playable" lmao
It's just one instrument yet it sounds like a whole orchestra.
Sure?
@@lunitamusica3212 *String quartet/trio
WHAT ??!!! Pizz & Bow playing in DOUBLE STOP, all in same time with a perfect intonation ?! Man you're not HUMAN !!!! o_O
Searched "bach for begginers violin" , this is the first result, are you serious youtube?
lol xD
lol
I agree
LOL XD It has double stops and left handed plucking as well LOL wow. xD
Motivation for beginners.
This man is doing bow double stops and left hand pizz double stops. I can't even comprehend the level of violin playing he is existing on.
Makes sense as to why people in Paganinis Era thought he sold his soul to the devil
Just your ordinary crescendo double stop with left hand pizz at the same time, why not. And of course it sounds amazing, because of course it does. Because f*ck you and your lil flute. Like whose playing would be affected by some 4 minute long pinky pizzicato
I have 2 hypothesis about you:
1. You're a kind of a Paganini's reincarnation
2. You've found the violin that the devil gave to Tartini as a gift
Its pure and profund talent... No Pag even Trat....
You are wrong
He is the LING LING!
@@nimarashidi4510 you are cultured.
Tartini's violín is México, Szerying gave it to the National symphonic orchestra
@@nimarashidi4510 I know it's a joke, but hes honestly a better violinist than Ling Ling
the unhuman thing is that he doesn't miss one tone. He is more tuned than an orchestra
The talent of Mr.Kim is unprecedented, at least in this era of music.
He has a frets violin... But anyway it's impressive
@@nainposteur55 this one doesn't look at the violin
@@nainposteur55 not on this one, I don’t see any. He does have one on his Beethoven transcription, but still doesnt take away the mind blowing talent.
Let.s be more human, please
This man is a genius. His name belongs among the names of the great musicians and talents of history.
Браво
roman kim is the paganini of the 21st century : how lucky I am to live long enough to be able to hear him and see him on Utube, ( I am 87 ! )-
I agree with you, Sir!
How are you doing?
Only a genius can create such an amazing transcription that Bach himself for sure would be proud of it.
Michael Feeley
I'd like to see that .Where is it?
this is really remarkable. just to perform the crazy left hand manipulations required here and "get the notes", you could forgive if the sound quality was not great or the artistic content was not there, but this is actually a beautiful performance; you can just listen to it as a great piece of music, and forget the unbelievable machinations going on to actually make it happen. wow!
PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO!!! THE WHOLE WORLD DESERVES TO HEAR AND SEE ROMAN KIM!! ❤️👍💪🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻
Officially the lingling workout
After 10 years still watching this incredible performance.. totally god's worthy.
Talents like this are not born everyday; but only once every few generations. BACH will be very proud and impressed with you Roman KIM!
Do you know how many instruments humans need to produce that sound?!! it is like every finger has it's own brain and in top of all that he makes it looks easy. Man I love you
So well said, every finger a brain, amazing.
This is insane… Can’t imagine it was made 10 years ago… Still a legendary piece even in 2022
*Plays video for background music and goes to another tab*
"Wait, plucking and arco? I thought this was Solo-"
*Returns to youtube*
"Oh"
I know, I know. The same with every other Roman Kim piece
Pizzicato
OMG! He’s beautifully played a quartet piece simultaneously. I can barely wrap my mind around what he just did. I had to watch this video several times. Unreal.

Is this the FIRST and only musical performance you have ever seen?
This man did his dounis exercises, that's fo sho
drunksessions I busted out laughing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHA IM WEAK 🤣🤣
At first I was all like "where is that pizzicato coming from". Then they zoomed in and I was like "OOOOOHHH," that is amazing.

Remarkable.
If you listen to it with your eyes closed you’ll think it’s a string ensemble playing.
Billae 90
A lousy, no-talent ensemble.
It's kind of annoying how easy this sounds in reality to how incredibly difficult it is.
lmao theres almost no point in the piece where there isnt 3 consecutive notes playing
Throughout the piece he plucks double stopped notes(double notes) with his pinkie and also the other fingers
If you think this sounds easy you have a terrible musical ear
It’s easy if you practice 40 hours a day
@@creamcheeseandpirates practicing correctly
That’s honestly to beautiful, all the sounds form by one violin
I would never be able to pluck and play at the same time. Bravo.
bro is playing a whole orchestra with just one instrument. Idk how this guy hasn't gone viral yet, but I believe he will be viral one day
Vibrato + pizzicato, that's INSANELY hard.
And double stops
doublestops, counterpoint with 3 voices, lefthand pizzicato, scordatura and vibrato, that is hard
Indeed there's no vibrato+pizzicato
@@robergarcia11 He sold his soul, his life to the violin.
Absolutes Genie!
Wow-- that is really amazing. The pizzicato accompaniment is so clean-- and the melodic line stays totally smooth and singing. At first I was looking for the "other player"-- then I realized it was all him.
Just attended Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music concerts and heard him play. He is a master and so very young. If only he could stay in this country.
his movements are very calculated & every sound is so even. a simple sounding piece but his control is amazing
Very impressive indeed! Kim's innovative technique never ceases to bamboozle, but in this particular case his positively diabolical skill is matched by celestial dynamics. Now that really is pure wizardry!
me : speechless ...

This is harder than triple string stops. It may be harder than 4 string stops. Because of the crazy pizzicato. And on top of that, it's Bach...
GLORIA, PAZ, BEATITUD, MILAGRO, ETERNIDAD.
GRACIAS POR ESTE MOMENTO ESPIRITUAL, POR ESTE ESFUERZO SOBRE HUMANO.

Oh. unbelievable , This is the miracle.
Wow.... Wow.... HOW? WOOOOOOW... THIS IS WILD.
I'm still sitting here with my jaw dropped! Wow! You're absolutely Amazing! Great Job. I'm more than impressed... Just beautifully played.

Only violinist who ever made me cry just for the beauty of the music.
Yes is so difficult!!! He is amazing! Wow I love this young man!!! Bravo!
Роман, Вы шикарно играете! Очень жду Ваших новых видео! 🥰
Getting a clear sound on those left hand pizz while playing double stops is so freaking hard. This is wild
Roman Kim turned the string quartet into one violin!
A one man trio
This young man is truly talented, and deserves to be much better known! The playing you see and hear here is on a level with Leonid Kogan and Ruggerio Ricci! Bravissimo!

same
At least you tried
I want to add more than one like to this video - each for every part that was played on a single instrument.
Heaven in it's most simple complexity. Beautiful interpretation! Thank you!
I've never seen anyone play a violin like that before. Wow!
INCREDIBLE control and technical skills wow!! Plucking and bowing and double stops?! 🤯
simply beautiful....food for soul.
Simply breathtaking... and I am not even a violinist. This inspired me to create my own interpretation on Bach’s Air on the G string
That's just extraordinary !
You really get across the original meaning of the piece. You truly feel the devotion and adoration of his God that drove Bach's work. The faith, the love that he felt while writing them is portrayed perfectly
I really love listening to this. 🤍💯
And excellent intonation, too!
oh my actual god...not only ridiculously difficult, but beautiful played...like the higher bits are so beautiful executed.
Left speechless once again. Utter genius!
Nothing short of extraordinary.
Those double stops are so clean oh my gosh!
Especially 4ths!
... Out of this world😮
I shared this on FB. Glorious, absolutely glorious......
Brought me to tears. So beautiful and incredible

Talent and hard work!
this is just perfect! Congratulations for this simplicity and attitude: Virtuosity is in wonderful service of music!
God, I would like to inform a glitch :P Bravo!
I can't stop listening. Just an amazing and emotional execution.
It sounds like a quintet more than an orchestra
What a beautiful!
Thanks a lot!

How can he do the melody and accompaniment with "pizzicato"? He is incredible!
Realmente incrível.
maybe he's just better than us haha
