    Reasons why he plays like the frickin devil
    -super even and clean runs
    -super powerful and accented left hand pizz.
    -incredibly even bow work
    -playing it way faster that any other interpretation I’ve ever heard
    -nailing the tenths and thirds like it’s nothing
    -crazy projection
    -super even trills, especially on the double stop trill
    -somehow didn’t break a bow hair
    -phrasing is super on point
    -even vibrato
    -sustains the semiquaver ricochet passage in the finale
    -nails the flying upbow staccato on the left hand pizzicato passage
    -bites the violin to bring out the lower voice
    -plays notes way up in high positions super fast and plays them super cleanly and in-tune
    -chords sound very even and not-crunchy
    -both voices speak cleanly
    -nails the harmonics
    -trill passage sounds like a mandolin somehow
    I could go on forever

      As a young man I was lucky enough to hear a performance of God Save the King by Leonid Kogan on a trip to Moscow in 1975 or 76 when I was a member of the Italian Communist Party (yes, when you are young it is easy to fall prey to stupid ideas). Unfortunately there are no recordings of this piece by Kogan

      @@CommunistBearFighter So much nonsense in such a short comment... 1. Communism and democracy have little to do with each other. Communism is about distribution of wealth (as opposed to capitalism), while democracy is about distribution of political power (as opposed to autocracy or oligarchy). You can have both at the same time (but no country has archived it yet), and you can have capitalism and autocracy (or oligarchy) at the same time. In fact, most capitalist countries are not democratic. 2. What did democracy to "literally all of middle east"? Nothing, because in "literally all of middle east" there is no democracy. The only democratic country in the middle east is Israel - and this is the country with most freedom for its citizen compared to ANY country in that region. 3. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict was not started by "democracy simps". It was started by the Russian regime trying to oppress a young country striving for democracy and independence.

Double stop harmonics with pizz thrown in, I can't even imagine doing it. Plus all those chromatic passing tones in the middle of very difficult techniques is too amazing for words. I also play flamenco guitar and those left hand pulloffs will rival any master flamenco guitarist for sure. Amazing violinist!!

    I have watched this video so many times not knowing who the violinist is - thinking he is just another average violinist who posted a video of his accomplishment, and as a pianist, I sometimes question how some violinists say that this is the hardest piece ever. But, thanks to 'TwoSet Violin [RUclips]' I now understand how difficult this piece actually is and probably on the verge of impossible yet he managed it so fast while maintaing great quality. If there is a word higher than a prodigy, he is way, wayyy higher than it. I am mindblown by his very virtuostic talent that perhaps only he in history, has!
    Already a quick edit: Many say that there are many other virtuostic violinists out there (like Kavakos) just like him but I still think that this is the best interpretation of this piece out there in the public.

    They have finally reacted to this! I just wish though they showed the variation with the many many double harmonics. Also his live performance of this truly shows how messed up the fingerings are in the last variation. For example the first chord starts off with an open g and open d with the first finger for b on the a string and 2nd for g on the e string. Easy enough, but then after that he stretches the FREAKING CRAP OUT OF HIS PINKY to reach the e on the g string and his 3rd finger on the g on the d string while maintaining the 1st and 2nd finger on the b and g. My hands are small considering i'm 5'11" and it's impossible for me.

      Madmax 8792 What’s sad about it? It’s why I adore Paganini, and why I started begging so insistently for a violin at 2 that my parents finally decided to shut me down by saying I could forgo all Christmas and birthday presents for checks until I’d saved enough to buy one. And why a 2 year old did just exactly that - gave up the thrill and instant gratification of ripping open wrapped presents, year after year, for the promise of greatness the checks held - until, at age 5, my delayed gratification and unquenchable desire finally brought the tiny instrument into my hands. Only a craving that strong could make a small child give up Christmas and birthdays for years on end. The desire to be great is almost always twinned with the desire to show that greatness off. Practice your ass off, then play with wild abandon. That’s how you master Paganini, and once mastered, don’t you dare hide your light under a bushel. We all want to hear!
