The trills from 2:43 to 2:46 sounded perfect. And right before it, at 2:43, it almost sounded like there were two violins being played at once. You know someone's good when they start sounding like more than one person playing the same instrument. It's like hearing four hands on a piano when there's only one person playing it.
Incredible. Anyone who's ever picked up a violin or a guitar and tried to get a note out of them knows how exceptionally talented (and practised) both of these performers are... and anyone who comes from the age of 1980s video gaming can't fail to instantly recognise and love the tune! Amazing stuff - thank you for a wonderful upload. Bravo.
This is unbelievable, I was left wordless. This song version sounded Hispanic and Italian but at the same time it was what the song was supposed to be. 100% earned my like. I will definitely be sharing this to many others.
Anime Boy Wow. Rude much? If *you could read*, you would know that he made *no mention of it being Russian*, so I decided to inform him just in case he was mistaken. _Nice try though. You wanted to look smart but made yourself appear as a pompous jerk._
Maybe it's because it only has 577,465? (By July 8th, 2014 at 8:58 PM) That, and the fact that there are rarely any Tetris players besides the current ones that developed during the age when it first came out... And if not too many people played Tetris, and didn't watch Tetris related videos, it would be very obvious why this wouldn't appear. (Remember: (crappy) Recommendation System. That's all.)
Korobeiniki, a russian folk song. Famous around the world because it is the BGM of Nintendo edition Tetris. In Netflix Series House of Cards S3E3, Russian President sings Korobeiniki in a WhiteHouse party.
This is TREMENDOUS! It's definitely the Tetris theme (which by the way I am sure is based on a Russian Folk song, so the creators of Tetris don't deserve to take credit for this centuries-old theme). I would like to hear what the guitar is doing; I'm sure this was just unbelievable live!
Wow.... just... WOW!!! To those who said the music starts at 1:15 or something, I really think it is disrespectful. This whole piece is something amazing, from the first second to the last. It may sound a little weird but this play makes me a little emotional...
+Bradley Williams But you wouldn't have know about it if it weren't for Tetris right? Or if you're Russian then I guess you dont really need to know Tetris.
I wonder how many people would recognize this as the tetris theme if it didn't say so. Meaning, they way they played it made it sound like a legitimate piece of classical music!
The violin is an instrument that can only be played two ways. When it is played well, as it is here, it sounds sublime, otherwise it sounds like someone is strangling a cat. This guy obviously knows what he's doing. Tetris? Yay!
***** no it's just listioning to start up that litterally Takes 1 minute CAN BE removed if it was less than 40 seconds maybe I wouldn't skip it But 1:15 thats just too long of a wait
Antique Chair because noone cares. it will be "tetris theme" now and ever and unto ages of ages. like "Misirlou" is just a "that theme from Taxi" or "that theme from pulp fiction" now.
Yes, everybody knows that. It was used in Tetris, which is also Russian (and "classic", in fact) and this song is famous because of that. So calling it the theme from Tetris is still accurate, and does not necessarily imply originality of the soundtrack.
Ersen Akçay It is famous _outside_ of _Slavic_ countries because of the game. It was famous within them before as it was a common folk song throughout.
So? This *is* outside of Slavic countries. And again, everybody knows it's a folk song. But when people are going to search for it, they will search for "Tetris music" or "Tetris theme", not "that one Russian folk song". You can call things by different names as long as it's clear what you mean. No one is saying it's an *original* soundtrack. But it is a soundtrack nonetheless.
Well he's playing a bit of a gypsy violin thing which can be self taught. And the guitarist is just playing Classical guitar which is a spanish guitar. And spanish guitar teachers are desperate for students so youll get a good deal i bet
the original song of tetris is Krabushka it's famous folklore song /// ya ochen skychayu po tebe moskva moya lybov /// tanya ..moya lyubov Gde ty ?? :( :(
It's funny that pretty much EVERYONE knows this as the Tetris Theme. "It was very embarrassing for me: when kids of the world hear these pieces of music, they start screaming: "Tetris! Tetris!" That's not very good for Russian culture." - Tetris Creator Alexey Pajitnov
Korobeiniki. It's Russian national traditional tune and since Tetris is originally Russian game, developers decided to use Korobeiniki as a theme tune for Tetris.
at first, i thought it was too slow and i didn't get the rhytm of tetris theme song. but... suddenly the tempo goes high and i love this arrangement, very nice!
Reminds me of when the lead guitar player in a band thinks his guitar solo is so important that he steps on a boost pedal, unplugs the rhythm guitarist's instrument, & practices his scales for 16 bars. Impresses the hell out of himself & no one else.
More like "guy soloing in the key of the Tetris theme and showing off for 90% of the song instead of playing the original piece, accompanied by a guitar"
It is like in jazz: they play the theme at the beginning then the guy with the guitar plays the same chords than in the theme so we have the melody "in the ear" while the violonist improvises on it, like it is said in the description. By the way, GG guys! ^^

It's strange how nobody has yet said "Korobeiniki".

You've forgotten the breve.
Nice GuP account, Katyusha
It's written not "Коробеинки", but "Коробейники".
Korobeini- shit im late

I'm not speaking Mechanics, But Expression. Fucking Brilliant, in my humble opinion.

I just completed Freezer Tetris, and then I found this video! Tetris also comes in handy for moving day.
Hahaha
oml
Be honest with yourself...
How many views would this have got with "Korobeiniki" in the title instead of Tetris?
Joel Thomas well, based on the number of people complaining that its actually коробейники, probably a good number
I was just saying thats what they should have called the title
LOL
Tetris is a russian game and korobeiniki is a russian song
Joel Thomas becuz piano tiles though
I don't know how many times I've watched this but it never get's old.
This sounds like one of those songs played in a movie where the protagonist is dancing and watching the bad guy.
I haven't played Tetris in 10+ years but I can still hear the theme song vividly. Awesome!
This is unbelievable, I was left wordless.
This song version sounded Hispanic and Italian but at the same time it was what the song was supposed to be. 100% earned my like. I will definitely be sharing this to many others.
This is a Russian song lol.

Late to the party here, but i have NEVER heard something this amazing. I can't believe this doesn't have a million views
how is this unreal, this is a traditional Russian folk song it's supposed to be played like this
Wendy Ellington ..... i'm agreed.....
R/wooosh
Wendy Ellington dude this is just a compliment. It’s so amazing it’s so UNREAL, get it now?
It's a compliment if u don't get it

I believe it is the Russia folk song Korobeiniki.
@@DUNZODaDON it's russian.
*Rob Landes stares bewildered in the background*
Wow, its been 10 years since i first saw this. It's still amazing!
Seems pretty real to me
Wow.... just... WOW!!!
To those who said the music starts at 1:15 or something, I really think it is disrespectful. This whole piece is something amazing, from the first second to the last.
It may sound a little weird but this play makes me a little emotional...
I agree with you, I think the hole song is awesome!
I agree with you, I think the hole song is awesome!
+Ana Cattaneo Which Hole song? Hole has a pretty large discography.
It isnt tetris, its korobeiniki, its a russian song, that tetris was based off of
+Bradley Williams
But you wouldn't have know about it if it weren't for Tetris right?
Or if you're Russian then I guess you dont really need to know Tetris.
This makes me cry. Perfection.
Wow. These guys. They are just wow!!! This is music!! It's just pure talent right here. So amazing. I loved every second of it.
Awesome!!
I only liked ur comment becoz of ur LUIGIE's pic ;p
amazing music btw
lol thx
I wonder how many people would recognize this as the tetris theme if it didn't say so. Meaning, they way they played it made it sound like a legitimate piece of classical music!
But it actually is a piece of classical music. I's called Korobeiniki.
This is a beautiful rendition~~~ Thank you. Takes me back to old country.....
Love the gypsy-themed twist you gave Korobieniki! Awesome!
PLAYED IT LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE
Ayy MSGV!
WOW THIS SOUNDED JUST LIKE TETRIS WITH A TOUCH OF ROMANCE CAUGHT MY ATTENTION 8/8 M8
That was fantastic. I'm just glad someone like you exists out there.

The violin is an instrument that can only be played two ways. When it is played well, as it is here, it sounds sublime, otherwise it sounds like someone is strangling a cat. This guy obviously knows what he's doing. Tetris? Yay!
As a violin player
Sweet mother of Jesus you couldn't be more correct
This is actually korobeiniki thats why is sounds weird at the beginning, its russian
You know what is awesome, put these two in a high class restaurant and it will pass for elegant music
I love this piece interpreted by you, Richard. I have listened another performs but I like yours the most.
I am not tired of listening it. Doris
361 people didn't skip to 1:15 while 13,461 skipped to it
No, I went through the the whole thing ;D
Why would anyone skip it?
Sparta because they took 5 years to fucking start it
TheKHfan358over3d
I just came for the violin and guitar, as long as it sounds good I don't care what song it is.
***** no it's just listioning to start up that litterally Takes 1 minute CAN BE removed if it was less than 40 seconds maybe I wouldn't skip it But 1:15 thats just too long of a wait
I never knew Michael Cera plays violin
Hahaaaaha i thought the same. Hahaha
This is beautiful! I love hearing violin and guitar played together~
I LOVED the trill at the end.
Video starts at 1:16
I would beg to differ.
agreed need to pay closer attention
Patience starts at 0:00
Feel free to make your own version without an interesting intro, then we can all moan about it :)
Select Your Player Okay but if it gets copyrighted it's on you.
Richard, why did you say Tetris theme? This is Korobeiniki...
Antique Chair because noone cares. it will be "tetris theme" now and ever and unto ages of ages. like "Misirlou" is just a "that theme from Taxi" or "that theme from pulp fiction" now.
Tanny Tanny Well, a hefty amount of people still call it korobeiniki, so we're going to have a problem here.
Go to 1:16
Your welcome.
Antique Chair Yes, those of you who are fucking hipster wannabe's.
Dodgy Dave Or most of the Russian population. Dave, being a smartass helps nobody.
..brings back memories. We love this.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Loved this. Thank you!
1:43-2:11 definitely feets in SHERLOCK HOLMES (the series) !!!
Oh well Sherlock figured out
Me typing: Tetris on violin
Auto-correct: Tetris on loli
The autocorrect may be onto something.
Samune Zimi Tetris rule 34 would be weird... plus, it would be kinda awkward, given the fact that the blocks stack

Wow. I am truly in love with this tribute to Tetris. I love it so much
Thats a classical russian song.
Korobeiniki
Yes, everybody knows that. It was used in Tetris, which is also Russian (and "classic", in fact) and this song is famous because of that. So calling it the theme from Tetris is still accurate, and does not necessarily imply originality of the soundtrack.
Ersen Akçay It is famous _outside_ of _Slavic_ countries because of the game. It was famous within them before as it was a common folk song throughout.
So? This *is* outside of Slavic countries.
And again, everybody knows it's a folk song. But when people are going to search for it, they will search for "Tetris music" or "Tetris theme", not "that one Russian folk song".
You can call things by different names as long as it's clear what you mean. No one is saying it's an *original* soundtrack. But it is a soundtrack nonetheless.
Ersen Akçay I understand. All I am saying is that your statement "this song is famous because of that" is not entirely true.
Where can I get lessons for this type of playing? This is tremendous!
Expensive teachers and years of your life
ky I'll be teaching myself then lol.
Well he's playing a bit of a gypsy violin thing which can be self taught. And the guitarist is just playing Classical guitar which is a spanish guitar. And spanish guitar teachers are desperate for students so youll get a good deal i bet
What The Helicopter (大和美琴) Awesome points on that. I'll definitely look more into the Gypsy violin playing.
You don't
You want to play the string (double) bass and you play it when you turned 11
Love the waltz toward the end
Amazing! The tremelo at the end was a great touch!
The people that disliked this are just jealous
yep
So true..
Not really, most likely the people who disliked are triggered because it says the "Tetris them" instead of its real name, Korobeiniki.
I thought this was the unreal game engine
Uh cause it said UNREAL
Perfect,perfect!Nothing to add more...
Simply brilliant!
the original song of tetris is Krabushka it's famous folklore song /// ya ochen skychayu po tebe moskva moya lybov /// tanya ..moya lyubov Gde ty ?? :( :(
i could have swore it was korobeiniki
julius williams It is.
Korobushka and korobeiniki are one and the same thing
do you know the original names of the NES Tengen Tetris? besides Kalinka which is spelled Karinka in the game.
Absolutely brilliant!
Oh so beautiful, thanks for sharing!

I bet no one knows what a viola is....
sienna l i do it is is like a cello but in violin size
Merle Poulos Glad most people know. One kid at my school asked me what instrument I play. I said viola and he said "THAT'S NOT AN INSTRUMENT!!!"
sienna l ...Wow.
Viola is so underappreciated :(
It's a stringed instrument in a slightly larger size than the violin and is able to achieve deeper tones than the aforementioned violin.
I love the gypsy violin feel and articulation you put into it, bravo
Bravo!
You mean Korobeiniki.
They would hardly get any views if they called the video Korobeiniki
Korobeiniki is a different song. The Tetris theme samples from Korobeiniki.
@@ninjadude36 Theme Tetris is a remix of Russian folk music. Korobeyniki - this is the original.
They meant Tetris since, you know, its also the theme from Tetris.
i was thought of this as the russian dance song
Well it kinda of is
Silver_ Grey he's not wrong
Silver_ Grey maybe because it is
(Or at least an improv of it)
Those double and triple stops. 😍😍😍😍
beautiful,bravo, made me cry
This version is korobeiniki.
go to 1:15 and do 1.25 speed.
Amazing just...
Amazing
Getting faster.....,
*Several million Tetrises later*
Perfect!!! The best version..
I know right! truly amazing, and they look like such chill people, in tennis shoes and tee-shirts. I love it!
play on 2x speed
Doom Waits Only if we level up
actually it isn't tetris until about 0:50
I get my best tetris scores when I listen to this and play.
Sounds phenomenal
I don't think this warrants being called unreal. I mean it was good but I didn't feel that if I died after watching it my life would be complete
Brings me back to my childhood in the soviet union.
So proud to be able to say I went to uni with these guys! Amazing xx
Some master musicians right there. Awesome.🍸🍸🍸
Korobeiniki
Russian classic with Spanish and Beethoven influences. Am I the only one thinking that?
It is Russian.
I did mention that
Scott Gammon Like all Russian
AWESOME!!!! SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT!
Wow, can we just take a moment to appreciate how good this is? And it's improvised! That's really amazing!

Wow. Incredible!!!
More like "guy soloing in the key of the Tetris theme and showing off for 90% of the song instead of playing the original piece, accompanied by a guitar"
wokeupinapanic play it then
It's because the original tetris theme is called korobeiniki, a traditional russian folk song.
It sounds like Tetris at a Jewish wedding.
Magnifique!
Love it but it's not tetris
It is Tetris!
It becomes more apparent around 0:48. [Edit:] ...though a lot of it is pretty heavily modified it would seem after watching the video a bit further.
Shut up Noob!!! Go play tetris and get owned once again.
It is like in jazz: they play the theme at the beginning then the guy with the guitar plays the same chords than in the theme so we have the melody "in the ear" while the violonist improvises on it, like it is said in the description.
By the way, GG guys! ^^
Tetris Type A is from a Russian song called Korobeiniki, and this is the entire version of that.
I like tetris better
