  • Flight of the Bumblebee has become a TwoSetViolin meme due to “sacrilegious” performances of it that aimed to establish themselves as the fastest in the world. In this video, I attempt the 1 minute, 10 minutes, 60 minutes practice challenge to see how fast (and perhaps accurate) I can play the infamous piece on viola after not nearly enough practice.
    The last time I made a video like this, it featured Paganini 24 and it took me a year and a half to fulfill my promise of recording a polished version of it. I would like to record a world-record version of myself playing Flight of the Bumblebee as well, and hopefully it will take less time than Paganini did!

    As a viola playing in high school this motivates me to just practice more and more seeing what can truly be done on a viola if I continue to grow and get better

    It sounds more like a bumblebee on viola. Violin is more like a honeybee.

    If you can play it slowly...you can play it quickly!

      It's true. Just new techniques once you go fast. :)

    6:34 being new to viola vs violin squabbles (from woodwinds), i can't help but hear that tempo and marvel at how neither instrument bursts into flames and becomes firewood from friction.
    Wow...

    Something compels me to say this was a completely flawless rendition of this piece, think it might have been the smiles that confirmed the accuracy and grandeur that was your rendition

    For a total meme, it's actually an amazing piece. To get so much "nature" from a 4-string instrument.

      Yeah- it really does sound exactly like a bee. I wouldn't need the title to be able to interpret it's emotion

    You know you have skills when lh pizz is a technique you use as a backup

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who always forgets to do dynamics! It usually takes me a couple of play-throughs before I add them in, and then I feel like I'm learning a whole new piece. Any tips?
    Merry Christmas!

      Practice in chunks of measures.
      My teacher stops me immediately. It’s not play the whole piece until it’s fine and then go back and change mistakes -it’s more- practice a few measure until it’s absolutely perfect and move on. The practice is most efficient this way!!❤
