It was a great pleasure to compete with the Vinheteiro
The pleasure was mine!
@@Lord_Vinheteiro great. And or End standing ovations? For the beginners. Aaaaaaaaa. thank you. 🙂
Thank you! I've been considering taking violin lessons (at almost 63 years old).
@@rebeccawoolfolk5377 🙏🏻
@@rebeccawoolfolk5377 I teach violin lessons
I was not prepared for the Formula 1 imitation. 😂
I think I detected a dual clutch racing automatic transmission in that...!
;-{)}}}
I've been playing the violin for 30 years and I still like to play the F1 from time to time... 😏
You can also do a really neat motorcycle imitation by pressing down harder on the G string with the bow while sliding the left-hand finger up and down the string.
🤣
That should have been a point for the piano, as it's impossible difficulty
From a comedy music encyclopedia I once had: "Why does a symphony orchestra have so many violins? To increase the probability that one of them might play on pitch."
Ooooh! That's a bit rude!
@@wolemai Almost all comedy is at the expense of someone or something. Not quite all, but most. That "encyclopedia" also had the definition, "Oboe" An ill wind that nobody blows good." It also had a comment about sopranos saying they could hit the high notes due to a resonance from having an empty brain cavity." So, you see, it could be worse. Of course, another axiom is that there seems to be some truth in all comedy.
@@trainliker100what is the name of this encyclopedia?
@@felipechrysostomo760 I'm sorry, but I have been unable to remember. A while ago I tried hard to find it and buy a copy. I don't know what became of the one I had. I had gotten it from my mother who was a professional concert pianist. I probably loaned it to somebody forty years ago. I think the word "humor" was in the title, but not sure. It was a pretty thick book as I remember.
@@trainliker100As a soprano, hilarious 🤣
That's so much fun. I have always thought the piano is one of the easiest instruments to play at a very basic level. You can just sit down and play a tune if you are shown some notes. Whereas there are technical difficulties just making a half decent sound with both string and wind instruments. However, all instruments are very difficult to master and achieve a professional level. I don't think there is any easy path - it just takes talent and a huge amount of practice over years.
Easiest to learn , hardest to master .
Piano has an incredibly high skill ceiling due to all its possibilities. I feel like violin has a pretty high skill ceiling as well
with piano it's the multitasking aspect that's the most difficult
@@Halberds6Tbh every instrument has high skill ceiling because every instrument has infinite skill ceiling. Even the best players still practice to be even better and sometimes even learn new things too.
@@theancientone1616 yes but some instruments can't do chords (wind)
However wind instruments have double tonguing and circular breathing so I suppose your right in some regards
It is hard to tune a piano, but more difficult to play violin in tune
Yes! That's what I thought too. It's more difficult to play violon in tune.
Fax
It is impossible to play an out of tune piano in tune.😂
You can tune a piano or a violin, but you can't tuna fish.
A piano is tuned in equal temperament - an equal spacing between notes. Mathematically this comes very close to just intonation (frequencies of notes make integer ratios, like 2:1 is a fifth). But not quite. So when you play chords on a piano, they're always slightly out of tune. This is especially noticeable when you play thirds. There will be a slight and rapid wavering.
Because a violin is "tuned" on the fly by the violinist, it's can always be played in just intonation (depending on the skill of the violinist of course). So it's actually one way in which the violin is superior to the piano. If you (properly) play a third on a violin by double stopping, it will sound cleaner and purer than on a piano. (This capability is lost on a guitar, since the frets are fixed for equal temperament.)
You can tune a piano for just intonation. But it can only be tuned that way in one key scale at a time. The moment you change to a different key scale, it will sound terrible. And unfortunately, the more interesting music incorporates lots of key changes. I've been waiting for someone to program a digital piano so it adjusts its tuning according to the key changes in the piece you're playing. So it always stays in just intonation. (It should work for the harmonic parts. But disharmonic chords would need to be switched back to equal temperament.)
I know that Victor Borge, originally a viola player before piano, said the difference between a violin and a viola is that the viola will burn longer. So, in this case, I guess the difference is that the piano will burn MUCH longer.
Borge was a master at making himself appear incompetent, when in reality he was a virtuoso performer.
@@Zerbey Occasionally he would play a piece straight, like Claire de Lune, so that people could see he was a real classical pianist.
Ha.
Comparing percussion to strings is amusing. I play piano and my daughter plays violin and we would have a similar debate. Thanks for the fun video.❤
Piano is both percussion and string, So there for it is neither.
@@オールマイト-y1f It’s considered percussion. I’m a traditionalist. 😂
@@Ciesiam It's not, most places will chuck it in the realm of Chordophone same as harp etc. It's never really considered hard String or percussion. Due to it being both.
@@オールマイト-y1f Chordophones are different by definition. Please don’t argue with me. All I did was make a comment. Please continue on your day.
@@Ciesiam Not really arguing with you. Just saying. I mean you can say wrong stuffs all you want's for giggles like but I can also just say nope that's wrong. Not arguing with you or getting flustered. Just saying. Also you made a comment in a public space. It leaves it open to criticism. Like anything I say here can be.
Violin is just harder in almost every way (and I say this as a pianist). That being said, since piano is chordal, it takes way more music theory to be able to improvise and write for piano.
Yes it is, I'm a violinist and I recently started playing piano and I know how to play more pieces on the piano than I do on the violin.
it's not fair how pianos sound so good yet violins so easily sound scratchy 😢😢😢
@@notyayanguyen1735 Just keep practicing, learning violin takes a lot patience.
CORRECT
Yes and No.
As a child I started both. My problem with the piano was coordinating my left hand with my right - playing one hand was possible to a point, but my music teacher gave up on me after about a month. The violin - two lessons were enough to convince me that I would never get it right, it was far too intricate. The most progress that I made was with the cello. I also had a brief experience with a clarinet and that I would have liked to continue.
Same problem for me as my mother would tell me I had trouble dealing with the "two lines" (two hands) with the piano. She was a professional concert pianist and, unfortunately, I did NOT inherit her skill. But I did fine on several other orchestral instruments. And finally went fully to the dark side - trumpet.
@@trainliker100 Skill is not inherited, it took me six months to learn my first proper piece, but I don't care, I will continue with learning keyboard instruments. Just a month or two are not enough to learn any instrument to a decent extent.
None of those experiences were nearly long enough. A year is necessary to really evaluate. But yea do what what are drawn to. Clarinet is good
I guess the difficulty is the piano is to coordinate between left and right hands and reading different notes for both. Violin mostly is to get the right note by touch and experience. That comes after the weight of each.
You're missing a bunch of things by "guessing" 😂
The piano is possibly the easiest instrument to play at a basic level...
...which is why it has some of the most difficult and intricate compositions.
3:09 why did it sound like a siren on a fire truck😂
Вы замечательные, наслаждаюсь, всегда! Спасибо за настроение!
I loved this video so much, the humor was spot on.
Que vídeo incrível! Dois instrumentos belíssimos.
obrigado!!!
@@Lord_Vinheteiroa sua chamopola dourada você responde né sr lord funkeiro
@@Rafael.Lima1que foi?
@@Lord_Vinheteiro Vinheta, o que vc acha de tocar a música de Donkey Kong Country do Super Nintendo? A trilogia no piano? Tem uma artista chamada Kara Comparetto que faz esses vídeos nesse instrumento, com outra menina, tudo do "score", pra mim essa é uma obra-prima dos videogames (do David Wise) que nunca foi superada.
The one you don’t play is more difficult.
@@rosykauffmanthats because you are good at the violin and piano mediocre
The true answer!
Outstanding.
Exactly how I showed them.
You are my best students ever.
For me is the same because I can´t play one or another and, of course. I admire a lot a great pianist or a great violinist. Both are my favorite instruments. Only for listen, unfortunatelly. Grettings!
As a former violinist who plays the piano, I say that the violin is much more difficult.
it is, without a doubt. Not t hat playing piano is easy, but high level violin is just smth else.
Да, на скрипке сложно, но смешные звуки легко😉
This is what youtube is for.
That was most entertaining! 👍🏻🇬🇧
How about other instruments?
You can walk up to a piano, and play a tune that sounds like a tune. It takes practice on the violin to get anything to sound good. Violin is harder.
Brilha brilha estrelinha no piano: 5 minutos
Qualquer nota que seja no violino, bem executada e afinada: alguns dias
If you play reading the notes when you play the violin, read only in the key of G or violin. Iif you play the piano you have to read the notes of two keys, G and F.
@@gringo2325 Technically, I learned Twinkle Twinkle little star on violin in 5 minutes. However, none of the notes were in tune except the open strings, and that was only because my instructor had just tuned the instrument.
The truth: Once you learn how to play the violin it is much easier than playing the piano. Classic case of violin being hard to learn but easy to master and piano being easy to learn and hard to master.
@@snowraw2479 you really don't know what you are talking about... piano is a very hard instrument to master, of course, but it will never be as hard as the violin. The amount of dexterity, musicality, and body awareness that someone needs to become a violin virtuoso is fenomenal. Violin bow control is something that you need decades to really master; playing in tune needs a LOT of practice if you don't have a perfect pitch; double-stops, harmonics, glissandro and other fingerings technics on violin are insanely difficult to master. I could stay here for hours and i wouldn't be able to describe all the subtletys of the violin.
Now you need to try bowing the strings inside the piano. Pianolin!
After the typewriter and the washmashine videos, let’s say… give him 6 month! 😅
You guys are hilarious and melodic! Thank you so much. Victor Borge would be proud!
So from this video, I learned rhe two main differences between piano and violin:
1) you don't use your foot to play the violin, and
2) a piano can't do a Formula 1 impression.
Aside from that, they're pretty much the same, right? 😁
And of course, the viola is superior to both. 😎
Oh the piano sure as hell can do a formula 1 impression
Check liszt rhapsody 15
And the viola is harder than violin
@@RandomStuff15agerTEMP
Yes!
0:31 bro don't even need to play the piano anymore, it just plays itself in his presence.
Back around 1978 I devoted considerable time to designing the electronics for a piano that would play all by itself. But life got in the way, and I never followed through. Now I get a certain pleasure from seeing one actually work. It tells me I wasn't completely crazy after all.
@@clarencegreen3071 it can be just my ignorance, but I thought pianos that play themselves were invented a very long time ago, I don't know, those scenes from western movies where the piano is playing itself, I'd say they already existed, right?
@@luizlima4819 You are correct. They are known as "player pianos." They used a long scroll of paper with punched holes to activate the notes. What I envisioned was one that was based on electronics and the new computer-on-a-chip technology that was emerging at that time.
@@clarencegreen3071 oh ok, that makes sense, this version would be able to play a lot more musics, since it wouldn't have the scroll, in 1978? Damn.
"vibrato on the violin requires soft wrists"
SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED!
Yes, I thought that shot was a bit suspect!
The work that the brain does, especially in the arm, to generate the sound of the violin, is not comparable to that of any instrument
Cello
@@BasilioColligrisyeah I think OP should revise that to stringed instruments in general
Sad viola noises
@@BasilioColligris ok cello is the instrumen within 8th so the for performing
@@Commenter839 viola the instrument Ever closer to rje human voice
ピアノ10年近く習わされてたけど全然上手くならず…
大人になってバイオリン始めたら上達早いって褒められました(笑)
ピアノは楽譜を2列ぶん同時処理しないといけない所が難しいと思います😢
not true violin is harder than piano and if you really want to get improved on piano you should keep playing it in row dont stop for years and say i played piano for 10 years because 10 years means you can play anything on piano
The ambulance at the end was awesome. Keep these coming PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Это пердёж, а не звуки скорой🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hard to compare in this format because you can just keep adding things to the list, and some like "repeated notes are more difficult" are a slight difference while others like vibrato add a significant gap in difficulty.
Violin is more difficult to start no contest but once you get into mastering an instrument they should all be comparable. Unless you play the timpani.
We know... relax you are too serious. Dont you see his funny face (left) this is not a doc. video
@@KaraBlackk shut up
@@KaraBlackk have you ever had a social interaction before lol what is this comment?
@@SlippyLegJones ok, Mr EGO.
@@KaraBlackk nah you're an npc
Holy crap!!! More videos like this please!!! Now I play the piano and the pipe organ. Recently I've been discovering a lovely duet situation with myself and a classically trained viola player and I'm loving it!
However, in another less inviting situation, I'm having to relate to a very good guitar player who apparently can't read music.... Or maybe I just don't know how the different instruments achieve sound, timbre and scale. Bottom line question is... how do pianos and guitars differ?
How should a pianist or organist relate to a guitar player?
Dos talentosos que nos deleitam con la ejecución de los instrumentos !!!!!....👍👍
Violin
Requiere mucha tecnica (el piano tambien, puedes tocarlo de manera basica como segundo instrunento en cambio con el violin es mas complicado, obvio que ser pianista puede ser tan dificil cono violinista pero cuesta mas iniciarse en violin
Yo igual toco piano y alguna vez también el violin y sin duda el violín es más difícil.
São meus 2 preferidos.❤
For a second I thought, IS THAT NIKOCADO AVOCADO?!
Thought i was the only one...

When you play a violin piece, you are a storyteller, and you're telling a story.” - Joshua Bell.
O que é mais difícil no violino é tocar afinado. O músico precisa de muita prática e um ouvido muito bom pra música soar bem. No piano, basta apertar as teclas certas.
O único problema é apertar as teclas certas, na velocidade e na força certa, sem esbarrar na tecla errada.
I would say for just overall tone and sound quality violin is much harder, though phrasing and musicality is way more important on piano and the small things really amaze me with the world class pianist. Though phrasing and musicality is also important on the violin, I think piano has it way harder.
The violin is more difficult to learn but the piano is more dynamic and flexible.
The piano requires coordinated control of both hands, In this respect, I think playing the piano is at least as difficult as playing the violin.
I think the point of this video is that it isn't worth having a pissing match over.
@@TheOneFreakservoYes but he didn’t contradict you.
Tell this with the flexibility the good old campfire pianist 😂😂
@@hampti007Ever hear of a small electronic keyboard?
I'd say going from "no level" to "hey, you can play some pretty cool stuff already" is probably quite a bit easier for the piano, but going from there to "daaaamn you can _really_ play difficult shit!" is equally hard for both
Brazil seems to have skills both on piano and violin 👏👏👏👏👏👏
As for formula 1, everybody knows who was the best of them all 🙂
Could you name one Top notch brazilian Violinist?????????????????????????????????????🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
@@mamoruotsuka759 The violinist in this video seems to be a fine musician to me 🙂
Vous êtes des champions tous les deux, c'est tout !
The entire Universe wants you playing ur harpsichord ! ! !
And you the wear in which to do so.
Don't be a baby about it....
Unless ur wife wants another one?!?!?!
It was really great to see. Thanks for the nice video.
And yet I am still more happy that my daughters plays the violin.
She can move away to the forest/park when I want calm and sanity, while playing computer games.
Piano parece muito mais fácil no começo
Então vc toca um acorde, e percebe que o dedo 1 ou 3 está abafando o 5, você precisa igualar a força dos dedos, aí vc muda de acorde, e vê que o alguns dedos são mais rápidos e esbarra menos que outros, você precisa igualar a precisão dos dedos, aí vc vai fazer trinado e vê que os tamanhos dos dedos muda a precisão de cada tempo, e depois vc precisa aprender tudo isso na outra mão e tocar músicas com 3 vozes 🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨
I played piano from age 6 to 9, when I changed to clarinet. I could never manage the violin. So, violin is harder.
Para mí es al revés, veo mas fácil el violín
Violin takes longer to get into. Real piano playing is actually much more difficult than 3 years. I dont think you would have gotten to that level
Violin is the easiest instrument instrument to learn, i don’t know how you guys convince yourself otherwise
@Roger.T Your opinion.
Na realidade todo instrumento é difícil, pois cada compositor ao longo dos anos vai aperfeiçoando as técnicas e colocando em suas composições. Um piano que é simples tocar uma nota, vai ter sempre um Liszt para elevar o padrão. Por outro lado um violino que só toca uma nota por vez, não tem trastes e sempre vai ter um Paganinni para elevar o padrão e virar a nova referência. Bateria não tem nota, mais vai ter polirritmia, pedal duplo, viradas etc. E assim vai...
É natural do ser humano se desafiar, evoluir e chegar ao máximo de perfeição possível quando se empenha.
As a violinist, this is inaccurate, playing the violin with the mind is possible and very easy
I've never heard la Campanella on violin before and it is so pretty! Can we get the whole song on violin please?
Awesome what you guys did in this video!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow! Breath taking!
Desde mi experiencia,puedo decir que el Violín,puesto que en el piano las notas son muy fáciles de reconocer (estudiando),a diferencia de un violín que tocas a ciegas,debes calcular la distancia ya que si tocas un poco más abajo sonara otra nota,eso sumado a que cada pieza necesita desarrollar ciertas técnicas para que suenen como es debido,así como en el piano,aunque claro el piano no se queda atrás ya que también necesitas desarrollar ciertas técnicas para tocar algunas piezas,pero sin duda he visto más demanda en el violín,bueno es mi punto de vista, saludos, excelente video😊
Was hoping for a tie that led to a 10 pace duel. Good video either way gents.
Versatility of a piano and keyboards is unmached. You can play your chords and melody at the same time easily. But playing just solos with something like violin or an electric guitar will always sound better. And you can do way more effects and expressions
Interesting. I remember when I first started playing piano, my Dad told me it was the hardest instrument to play. I have been hearing about how violins/violas are the hardest. I play both, and would not label either one as "hard." The instrument I have struggled with the most is the twelve hole ocarina, which I can really only play a basic scale on without pausing.
BRAVO gentlemen
Lord, tenta mostrar algum dia a viola de arco para o pessoal! é um belíssimo instrumento que é muito parecido com o violino, porem sua sonoridade é mais grave (Tenor). Seria um vídeo bem interessante e chamativo!!!
Каждый инструмент по-своему сложен. У меня в муз.школе преподаватель по струнным рассказывал, что у струнников более сложный начальный этап обучения, у фортепиано - наоборот, начало приятное, зато потом ... Но на выпускном экзамене скрипачи играли концерты, а пианисты - увы, только сонаты.
Все самые светлые воспоминания детства связаны с музыкальной школой.
I was waiting for this video for a couple years…
How wonderful!
Just AMAZING ! ❤
I guess it's just a question of perspective. As a pianist and a cellist, I can tell that it's way harder to learn the basics on string instruments. Takes years of practice to get a decent sound. That being said, both have their difficulties and both have the qualities.
This was just as good as the guitar vs piano episode
You can make Telephone Call with a violin, if the phone has touch-tone dialing. Difficult maybe, but I have seen it happen.
Música!!! Obrigada
Obrigada
Obrigada
🇧🇷
I think you under-rated the point difficulty values on the piano, but overall, the V. is more difficult. However, then piano is kind of to patting your head while rubbing your tummy. The violin, much less so. But one thing for sure, if there were only two instruments in the world, choose the violin and piano!
As a pianist and violinist, I can tell the violin is much more difficult than the piano!!! (La Campanella is a rare exception. I played both so I know.)
Vinheteiro sabe fazer conteúdo do jeito certo.
Show rei das champolas douradas
Eu amo ouvir os 2, sempre quis aprender a tocar qualquer um deles, mas acho que uma coisa que torna o piano mais difícil também é o preço e ter o espaço necessário em casa, por isso irei optar pelo violino.
Очень интересно было послушать! Спасибо!💗💗💗
Thank you 🙏🏼
Bravo.
i would say,that s very generous from you,but the piano will remain the most capable of all instruments,with its wide polyphonic range,even if i m a violonist,i will always have a respect for pianists harmonic knowledge,as you said transpositional abilities;i think that playing Prokofiev toccata is very challenging as well as granados goyescas;
They definitely both have their strengths and weaknesses 😊
Однозначно скрипка🎻 После фортепиано захотела освоить скрипку и взмолилась небесам)))))
Always enjoy your videos Lord V. Costco just got Roland pianos in. You should go there and make some videos and give the shoppers a treat. 🎹 👍
When I came to music school, they selected the top 5 out of a group of 30 people and took them to violin.
The rest went to piano.
Nobody asked us. 1976 USSR
Very interesting conversation they had
By the way Scales on a violin are much harder because yea its its always the same but your intonation can by off if you don't practice your scales often.
I'm triggered that they called the piano key, the "button".
Os dois instrumentos são sensacionais 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is pretty much a no-brainer to any musician. But I like the concept.
Quanti termini in italiano! Quando l'Italia era veramente un paradiso 💫
Это называется - талантливые профессионалы шутят 🎉❤ и не каждому это под силу. А эти на высочайшем уровне 🎉❤
Should have played something like the easy Chopin prelude with the 9 note chords, easy on the piano.
I love how they kept a serious face during the Formula 1 and the siren. I couldn't help but laugh bc it's so good 😂
Violin can increase volume to forte by holding a note. Piano no.
Nice cover of Blackpink 👍🤓
I think it depends, I learn both piano and violin and to be honest violin is much harder, but after you become advanced piano just has more possibilities.
Violino é claro sei os dois lados. 😂 Violino afinação com posição das mãos esquerda e direita, ouvido.. O pianista não se preocupada tanto com afinação. Sem falar das outras dificuldades.
I'd love to see this done with a flute! 😂
TIL; Pianos are HEAVY. 👍👍
Amazing
Violin is expressive, full of life and natural. Piano will give a lot of light and warmth when burned. 😂
Скрипка и вообще скрипичные инструменты, одни из самых сложных к освоению. В конце первого года обучения, ученики на фортепиано уже играют легкие пьесы, на скрипке первые 3~4 года учатся просто брать ноты без фальши.
Кто ж их берет без идеальногг слуха!?
2:22 Piano game's over. ;) :)
