Hey Jeremy, just checked out your version on Spotify. Sounds great! Truth be told though, I think I like this version better. It sounds more light and more intense at the same time somehow? It’s just a bit more raw and passionate. Thank you!
People need to understand that the only thing difficult about this piece is to play it on a piano/keyboard because of those 16th note tremolos. For other instruments it's not very easy but nothing crazy difficult or anything.
This takes me back to my college days (even though I'm only two years out). I loved the two professors in my studio, was blessed to have a chance to study with both of them. The good ones, they're like your dad away from home. You learn so much from them, and you have so much fun while learning. I'm glad I'm close enough to my alma mater that I can visit them on occasion. It's good to see them again. I hope you loved your teacher as much as I loved mine!
He made his music teacher laugh. Classical music teachers are infamously hard to please so that's the accomplishment. It's a subtle win but still impressive.
Former musician here. The foot tapping is something we are taught to keep tempo. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not we like the music.
marking the tempo man, thats just any muisician. But i do agree i think he enjoyed it in a way, like thinking "so this is what the younglings are into these days, not bad, not bad at all"
As a musician, I have tapped my leg and even jammed out to plenty of amateurish music. That's not to say our cellist is an amateur-far from it-but our ability to enjoy music is largely independent of whether the music is impressive in any way.
@@johnnyshortfor Can confirm. I've watched a room full of musicians bob their heads up and down like pigeons to music they all collectively agreed was dogwater. Except the drummer, ironically. He doesn't need to, I guess.
I think he was treating the dialogue as a blow by blow. He meant he wasn't impressed at that moment. Yes he was impressed at the end. Was he when he started? Not sure, I'm not a instrument enthusiast.. but skipping a part of Rush E might've been initially disliked by the man he chose to play to, whom I assume has great respect for the artwork and maybe more so than the person playing the music. Can't confirm, but the man showed praise during and at the end. Respectfully, I can't confirm the statement in that section of text as anything but subjective. All we can say is that the enthusiast himself might know if the more experienced enthusiasts are or are not impressed in their field of expertise. -C.P.
I don't think it's called Rush E because of the key signature, it sounds like A minor to me but I might be wrong. Think it's called rush E because of the repeated dominants lol.
my mom gave me piano sheets to this the other day saying she found it on tiktok. she thought it was a classical piece and wanted me to play it. bless her :)
He flubbed the key change. It was clearly sharp. I guess only musicians can hear it? He also flubbed a line and even noted it. That was literally explained lol
Nah sounded like rush E all the way through, although they do have that same set of notes after the part with like 20 of the same notes, although rush A goes immediately into a different set of notes the second time around and rush E keeps with the regular thing
For real, “playing fast” is overrated, *especially* on string instruments. The double stops take way more precision to play properly than the “fast” sections.
Yep. Even on bass (my instrument), where playing fast is more impressive just because of how damn much you have to move, it’s more important to get the right intonation. You can almost always ghost a note here and there and people’s brains, especially musicians, will auto-fill it in for ya.
@@Shadow-e6b A double stop is when you play on two strings at the same time, whereas normally you only play on one. It can be hard to get both strings to have a good sound and proper intonation, especially when the finger positions are awkward
@@elith6930 As an artist you don't want to get a compliment on your talent, instead you want a compliment on the aspects you have influence on and actually worked/trained for. Those are skills. I don't think it makes sense to praise someone for their talent, because that's not what they achieved.
@@your.fav.gem1ni That's simply wrong. Talent is something you are born with which makes it easier for you to learn a certain ability. Skill is the result of putting the work and time in to get better at something. An artist only has influence on the training part, so making someone a compliment on their talent is pointless.
@@seeker296 Though technically it has strings, it's classified as a percussion instrument because of how those strings are played. They are hit, instead of bowed or plucked.
As an Ashkenazi jew, Rush E always sounded to me like traditional Ashkenazi Klezmer music or other northern Eastern europe culture type of music. Judging by your teacher's name and the fact he teaches Cello, i'd say he's an Ashkenazi jew who was raised with some Ashkenazi jewish music because he really seems to enjoy it even if he tried not to
Actual musicians are not impressed by speed. Speed is just repetition of accurate practice. He was proud because it was clear you rehearsed well and secondly because there were moments of great musicality in your playing. only moments though. With more practice to clean up the errors and a focus on musicality you could take a real step forward with this piece.
@@rojastegulubf the original comment was being quite snotty. “Only Moments though”. Mans did. an excellent performance with one main hiccup. No need to get too pedantic. And then there’s the whole “not impressed by speed” “just Repetition of accurate practice”. What kind of person isn’t impressed by accurate practice. That means someone is not just putting a lot of time in, they’re also making that time worthwhile. Not sure what’s more impressive than that.
Because it dodges the point of why Paul Katz is a teacher, or why Jeremy Tai is a cellist (or why I'm learning the cello), or why they love the instrument and the repertoire. Rush E is not beautiful, meaningful, or sincere.
The RUclips algorithm doesn't distinguish between 👍&👎. They are rated exactly the same. Ironically, the only way you can "register" your dislike is to do nothing. If you comment at all, you are helping the video, too. There is nothing you can do except to do nothing. 😢
@@ililililililililililililil5337 it's actually more of the opposite, it's more on rhythm, playing slower is a lot harder on literally anything, whether it's strings, percussion, and most importantly winds, I'm a percussion and strings player and i find it way harder to play slowly than to play fast

Don't worry most of the lesson was spent with him grilling me on orchestral excerpts xD
@@jtaicello And that one flat note I’m sure lol.
@@ValedictionXaq Polak?
Rush E sounds like Tetris music that starts slow and then speeds up as you do
I like how that song started as a meme, but is legitimately a decent piece of music.
It's like a very old piece of music, but it blows my mind that this was written only a few years ago.
Yea I’m impressed at how well you played those octaves together
Emperor Palpatine is a conservatory teacher....who knew?
As the cello I confirm this is difficult
Every note was so articulate, was it cause they were a professional or cause their teacher was there? (probably both)
the last run was pretty shabby though..
You're either barking mad or a ballsy cellist! 😳😅
Bros moving that stick so fast he’s trying to start a fire
Rush E but the violin is going through puberty
The cello gives it PotC vibes.
"I am speed" lol

This makes me wanna play the cello-
I play the cello to, but I’m still beginning

Hey whats a few slightly flat notes amongst the fretless string players? Bloody good work!
Amazing 👏
I wish I could do that on cello
How can you dislike this? I don’t see anyone else doing this.
I am speed 😂😂

Clickbait at its best.
This being his teacher finally being impressed ig 😂
He made his music teacher laugh. Classical music teachers are infamously hard to please so that's the accomplishment. It's a subtle win but still impressive.
With a title like that, i was expecting the Teacher to shout "E!" at the appropriate moment.
Maybe one of these days he will be good enough to play it in tune.
Cool of him to let you film your lesson! That's super fun 😊
I mean I think it’s common to let students do that, for social media less so, but not out of the question.
@@jacobbass6437 Students are usually allowed to film sessions to review it and help them practice, but social media works too 😂
My teacher basically requires that you record lessons, audio only of course though
Same lol I recorded my last bunch of guitar lessons, probably 10 or so total. Dude was totally fine with it
Pretty sure this isn't shot on film, champ.
He was impressed through the whole thing as evidenced by the foot tapping, nodding and smiling.
I think it was expected, if he is his teacher.
Yeah, I can be pleasantly engaged without being impressed.
Former musician here. The foot tapping is something we are taught to keep tempo. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not we like the music.

Both are sweet. I always loved such teachers. They certainly encourage the young students to achieve more, even beyond their limits. Good one!

praise him for the speed
I see pianists and other musicians playing this. My woodwind self will never attempt this because I like being able to breathe.
The proudest moment of an instructor has got to be the moment they realize they have little to nothing left to teach their student.
My teacher would've told me: now play it really slow, so you can work on all that lack of presicion.
you're a liar bro nothing particular happened, as would be suggested by the title

Until what happened? But seriously, that was fun to listen to!
It took me months and months but I learned to play Rush E at the age of 12 I am now in high school loving learning it at a young age
