      It does help. Imagine you have to read a letter with very very very tiny words. You may be able to read most of the stuff from a normal distance, but when the speech becomes more difficult you probably want to go closer to see the words and letters more clearly.
      Same by sheet music. If the sheets turn more difficult you will go closer to get all the details and hints to play it right

      They’re really good and the performances are good
      But there are pieces way too hard for them to even sightread

    • @adamabele785
      @adamabele785 4 года назад +15

      In the opposite, you needed to be a divine sight-reader to manage these notes. It is impossible. The point of the video ist that you can not master these pieces by sight-reading, no matter how good you are. No doubt both players are professional musicians with very well developed skills and they did the best in sight-reading they could (Ok they didn´t take it too seriously). Even they can not do it by sight reading. You need to practice it to master it. Remember the shirts they wear? It just contradicts the thing they pretend to do. I´m totally convinced they´d practice their piece for days and weeks prior to the first rehearsals.

    Once during rehearsal, the conductor was giving an especially hard time to the first violinists because they couldn't play a fast and extremely high passage well enough, so we (the rest of the orchestra) had to sit there listening to the squeeling. It was then that we (the violists) took out a small sign reading 'no more high notes? Come play the viola!' and showed it to all violinists. Half of them started laughing, the other half just glared :p

    I’m a saxophone player, and I know what it is like to have so many sharps in a piece of music. As of right now as a freshman, I first got to play a music exercise with 6 sharps in it. My high school band director is really nice, but sometimes our playing assignments can be really hard and stressful.
    I looked at the sharps carefully, and I know every single note and the fingerings thankfully because I been playing saxophone since I was in 6th grade. I also learned a few of the sharp signs when I was in 8th grade and in marching band.
    I have lots of playing nightmares when I see sixteenth notes in a piece of music written for the saxophone because I am not very good at playing 16th notes on the saxophone. I only know how to play 16th notes on the drum set because drums were my first instrument before saxophone.
    Marching band gives me playing nightmares too when I see extremely hard music for our shows and stand music. But my band director and my section leader goes over everything carefully.
    I hate it when the key signature changes because that always gives me a heart attack! One time at a marching band performance (freshman year) I played the note natural and I was supposed to play the note sharp because it was in the key signature.
    I only know how to play 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures because that’s what we mostly use in the school band. I could never play any different time signatures because I never played anything else besides 3/4 or 4/4 in my life.
    Dynamics are a big nightmare for me since I was in 7th grade to now as a freshman in high school because I like to play the saxophone really loud and do what I want to do. I get super loud too quickly when we are playing crescendo and have a hard time being quiet when we play decrescendo.
    I hate when a piece of music has P because it means piano, and piano means play soft. I like to have music that has F (forte) or FF (fortissimo) because that means play loud.
    I am not sure what de coda or D.S. Coda means because I don’t really play the kind of music. One of the songs that we play for marching band has coda and I don’t even know what that even means because we never go over stand music at band camp or rehearsals. I even had trouble at home while practicing that one song.

      @@silleenevoldsen9210 Oh, no I don't play anymore. I played for 12 years, though. I left college in '09. You are right, though, it does get easier. I always wanted to play low notes. I think they are more beautiful. I went to a very small school, so orchestra wasn't an option. If I hadn't I think I'd have liked trying cello.

    I'm a flautist so the bow distribution problem doesn't apply to me, but I feel like the equivalent is crazy articulation markings where I'm like, "WTF are you trying to get me to do??" Never related to something more in my life.
