      @@brianhall4182 True. But maybe that's because the capabilities of the instruments vary, right? Playing stringed instruments ain't easy, for sure; but there's a lot less physical distance involved in the move from E to F# on a violin (it's just the drop of a finger) than the same on a trombone (it's been 45 years since I took "brass methods" but I do remember the physical challenges of playing the trombone - my favorite of all the brass).
      So we're kinda talking apples and oranges here. Capabilities, you know? And because violin is capable of so much, why - much is demanded.

      @@snowyminnesota6028 Certainly a violin is capable of doing things a trombone can't and both offer their share of unique physical challenges. I'd never want to get into an argument about which instruments are "harder" to play since each involves different methods and techniques. I do remember being out of breath a fair bit, needing to strengthen my lungs, and getting sore elbows from too much slide work.
      I just thought that, in the perspective of reading music, trombone sheet reading and brass in general is much more straightforward. Granted, it's been many years since I was in band but even barring the fact I only faintly recall what brass to treble/other clef transposing entails, I can't even faintly parse what's happening in that violin music beyond "notes go up and down", heh.

    • @retrops4261
      @retrops4261 3 года назад +21

      In some ways this order is subjective. But there is a progression of technique accumulation on display
      Simple bow, simple bow but slow (requires really understanding bow control), fast bow, adding harmonics, ultra fast spiccato, fast string crossings, double stops, ricochet, doublestop with complicated bowing, lyrical doublestop passages with faster bowing up high, awkward finger passages and shapes, left hand pizz, left hand pizz accompaniment during long sustained lines with and without doublestops and intricate melody.
      This last level (12) is quite accurate being listed top as the constant and often very subtle but extremely exacting pressure changes/ adjustments +coordination of the accompanying part (the left hand pizz) is unbelievably intricate and to pull off cleanly AND musically on top of that with some semblance of unique artistry, requires about 10-15years of extremely dedicated thoughtful and informed practice.
      I could get any student to level one (who practices) in about a year maybe less, depending on their dedication level and how often they take lessons. Further they could learn it in solidly in a couple weeks. Fully polished performance in one month.
      God save the queen on the other hand would probably take for a very advanced student first learning about 2months at least to learn and another 1-2 to polish to performance level (depending on repertoire load, maybe longer or shorter). (The shear length of the composition also figures into these calculations. (GSTQ) is I believe somewhere in the range of 10-14 min long.. a typical concerto mvt length.

      I'd love to hear their take on ballet scores too (especially story ballets!) I'm a ballet dancer and a member of the piano gang (wc means i only get to faf around with the music in rehearsals) so I'd love to hear the perspective on the music from the point of view of the orchestra/pit

    This makes me realize how privilege we pianist are for being able to play as many notes as we want at the same time effortlessly. We can literally pick an orchestra piece and learn it on the piano and that's priceless. Chords look so hard on violin.

    Thank you Brett and Eddy for showing us these insanely difficult pieces. Pieces that challenges even the best musicians.
    Thank you for not just talking abt but also showing us how we can manage our mental health better- esp after watching the Menuhin competition- that we play music because we enjoy it so much and enjoy them enough to share with everyone -and we don’t have to be a 1 in a million prodigy to play in front of people confidently and joyfully.

    Have the utmost respect for you guys. Great display of your grasp on the technicalities with a violin. Oddly enough I didn’t even realize that there could be chords like that for a violin. Some of these songs had wicked chords. Great job guys and great way to show others what violinists are up against in the music world.
