So I'm watching this thinking, "Hey, these guys are pretty good for, hmm, 20 year-olds? Seems about right." Then, I read the description saying they are 15. Dafuq.
I know right!!
it's normal for them to be 15 because they're asians
+Miguel Misa
same thought. they are very talented :) ^-^
+Miguel Misa even for 20-year-olds, this would be amazing
They started young, kind of like how Max Verstappen drives so well at the age of 18. He's already been driving for 15 years.
Violin/viola duets are far too rare; they make beautiful music together.
Wish had more like them❤😊😊
It is very rare
As a musician reading through the comments I must say that talent like this doesn't come from natural abilities!! These kids have clearly dedicated a tremendous amount of time to practicing both this piece and their technique; so please do not feel discouraged after watching this video! Feel encouraged to go practice and get closer to where you want to be as a musician!
Ikr
Preach
75 people must have mistaken where the like botton is:)
If you're Asian and you're in an orchestra than you're awesome
So what?
She looks so natural and relax playing that viola,excellent control,Wow..
The most beautiful viola piece for me is "peng peng gong viola concerto" I Hope you will listen this piece because it is not really known but diserve it
Team viola are here 😂😂😂
le mental c la vie WOOOO!
le mental c la vie hey thanks for the suggestion I'll definitely listen to it and hopefully play it :)
jose cruz especially for a physically demanding instrument like viola
OMGGGGG i can't believe they're just 15!!! their music was tremendous, truly soul-shattering. and i dunno, its like they're singing to each other without words.
Kate Tuason that's the whole point, tis art
perfectly phrased. love ur comment
I CAN'T HANDLE THE INTENSE
lol
You can't HANDEL the intense? Hah
@@foxtrotfelix9086 nice!
This is a flawless masterpiece and spellbinding to anyone who can hear.
PS- Being Asian has nothing to do with it. This was the result of dedication and sheer talent.
I agree with you :)
100% agree sister!
Being Asian actually does play a part in this, not genetically, but the culture behind us
It depends upon which culture, but I think dedication and practice makes the greatest impact.
Culture can result in dedication and practise.
The emotion put into playing 2:02 makes me shiver.
Happened 2 me 2
my absolute favorite part!
BlueDragon25 I cried
Deep into the soul
my favorite part too
Where are all my violist at? ☺️
here bæ
ayyyyeeeee
Present!!🙋
yooo
I'm right here bishh
Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor.
so i guess 53 people quit playing violin after watching this
+Justin Lee 58
+Daniel “Hyun Min” Choi I'm playing this and I am in sixth grade 🎻🎻🎼
+Spencer Edward ? K, but what does that have to do with my comment ._.
+Spencer Edward this piece isnt that hard. anyone who takes violin/viola/cello seriously on a daily basis should be able to play this by 8th grade. dont act like this piece is impossible because people dont put any effort into music.
I'm playing this. I also don't care what grade you're in. 🎻🎻🎼
i've seen some other videos of passacaglia and they definitely were no better than this! these two make the music come to life, i can hear each instrument clearly, and they blend in together so well. just stunningly beautiful
This is a phenomenal rendition- after listening to many I have concluded that this is my second favorite, right behind Heifetz and Piatigorsky!
+Sarutta Assawamahakun These two get the top prize ...each brilliant...and together even more brilliant...completely synchronized with each...and playing it from memory looks more sublime...TOO AMAZING!! and so young...HEAVENLY!!!
@@xarchitecturex I agree.
They are 15 years old?! Wow!
Aris 0623 honestly, age doesn't maatter, its all in how much experience a person has. As you can tell, these people have quite the expirience
they are asiatic people!
They don’t even look 15!?!?!?
My friend wants me to play this with him.... I’m 13. Help?
@@EldersGame I know I'm late but age doesn't matter.
Violin and viola sounds great together, they really compliment each other when playing. Another is violin and cello, the way this piece seems to look into my soul and remind me that I need to practice is unnerving
Violin and the cellos don't mix their sounds.
These groups mix their sounds:
Violin and viola
Viola and cello
Violin viola and cello
Popo oí@@Guilhermedetiuki
both of them are just too beautiful for this word???
No, for the unierse
The word what?

@@frostbite1625 *world
Why question marks?
The best interpretation so far. I even like this more than Pearlman and Zukerman's.
You are very correct. Pearlman and Zukerman didn't seem to put any emotion in it.
Alrick Lothian
Perlman*
Violin Player Have a listen to heifetz's version. Pretty sure these 2 got inspiration from that recording.
This is trash compared to zukerman and Perlman...
This is hardly trash. It was very well played. I came here right after watching several versions by Perlman and Zukerman, and, while this is not as good, it damn close. I enjoyed it.
HOW DID THEY MEMORIZE THIS
Chedso by practicing
The chord: gm,cm,F,Bb,Eb,am(-5),D7 (And repeat for n times)
THEY PRACTICED!!! THEY ACTUALLY PRACTICED!!!!! GASPS... COMPARES TO HERSELF... GASPS EVEN MORE.... I am toooooo lazy to practice lol Xp
Playing it over and over again for months. It really isn't that hard to memorize music.
Chedso it’s like a student studying two seitz concertos. Just more complicated
Edit: less
This has an easy chord progression
4:18 That little smile there was really cute. Maybe it's because it came at the end of a pizzicato section, but it just looked like they were having a lot of fun.
The whole performance was entrancing. I would not have guessed they were so young! I imagine a lot of time and practice went into this, and it shows. It was beautiful. And because they were so engrossed in it, so was I. It was riveting~ Bravo!
@ShadowboyTV I often simp over music, I guess. (although I don't think that word means what you think it means.) What of it?
You should hear me gushing over the viola in "The Hand that Gives the Rose" because hot damn. Violists deserve more love.
i think she appriciate her patner
Who else watches this everyday for motivation?
Min Eum i haven’t gone a morning in 3 months without it
It's downloaded to my phone and I play it EVERY morning. I NEVER miss a morning
I watch it cuz im quarantined and stuck at home 😪
@@hpomen9681 yeah that’s still a thing
@@iandugger1168 wait what i wrote that 8 months ago
People say they are very jealous and think they will never be able to play like that, but in all reality this duet probably practiced this specific piece for a year, or perhaps a year and a half. Its no wonder they are performing this at a superior level!
It doesn't take that long, it is the exercises and other pieces that enable your progression to a higher level. Focusing on developing through levels is the key, not length of time spent on a piece, Concerto's take longer because they require 45 min or so to perform; usually a year of practice or longer depending on the complexity, try Vieuxtemps.
DelaneyStudios I agree, but considering this duet is averagely 15 years old respectively, they do not share the "level" of a professional musician. Perhaps it won't take as long as a year for this piece I agree, but for sure longer than older musicians.
Vladislav Stepanuga However; I am older, more than 40. I have been contemplating this piece, it would take me 2-3 months max. (viola or violin) If I practice regular. Actually, they sound a bit youthful and forced; I say that with a grain of salt. However, they have virtuoso qualities. I rather enjoyed their performance and interpretation. Many people do not understand the complexity of the performances of the professionals; they usually surpass their audience with many innuendos. Obviously the violist is leading; her performance is more mature; however, He demonstrates plenty of musicianship, duet-ness...and understanding of projection and tone. They did great. you need the ability to play flying spiccato, agility and speed for a complete range of scale performance. The greatest challenge is I believe the speed of harmonic scales near the end. Her viola is awesome, and she is keen to his rhythm. Notice this piece was memorized. All students will memorize their music automatically if you give it to them in small pieces, without notes written in the music. etc.
Students in Yewon School usually are too busy to practice it for one year. They have many concerts and exams. I guess that 2-3 months are enough for them.
I was referring to middle and High School students. I appreciate your comment; that is normal for music school students, and those that have proper music pre-training backgrounds. Point well said.
Finally. I'm not a musician, I just really wanted to know the difference between a violin and a viola. This was very helpful and incredible to listen to. They compliment each other so well and the musicians are very skilled. I'm pretty sure I've been hearing a viola in music and thinking it was a violin the whole time lol. I think I've been in love with the wrong instrument, not that violin isn't still beautiful sounding
viola had deeper voice than violin because they're bigger than 4/4 violin, most simple explanation. 2 years😭
Violas have a lower range then violins. Violins have the (in order from lowest to highest) G,D,A,E. The violas in order from lowest to highest are C,G,D,A
fucking same bro!!
Viola is lower pitched and usually bigger because of that. Because it is so awkwardly large, it is a lot more uncomfortable to play than the violin. Typically in the orchestra, the viola fills in the notes in the middle alto register between the violin and cello, but occasionally gets lovely melodies and solos. Violists often get the reputation that they sound bad because it's difficult to play. She does a tremendous job here clearly!
Viola burn longer than violin cause it's bigger ( it's a joke...
posters..😅 in poor taste?)
Wow! This duet is great, and the violinist and violist are talented. It seems like they were having a conversation through music!
i cant stop pressing replay........
Same
So I'm 15 and currently learning this for a solo... I give them so much props... I've been practicing for a week and already accumulated 4 blisters lol
i know this comment was 7 years ago and you might not see my reply, but, how did the solo go?
my favourite part is from 0:00 to 6:35
Mine is from 6:35 to 6:36, if I'm honest. It's only a second, but goddamn it's glorious.
Jack Taylor I like from 2:39 - 3:53 the best
same
Agreed 110%
Mine too
This is one of those songs that you could listen to over and over again and not get bored by it. And it's classical, too!
piece*
I come back to this video multiple times through out the years because of how beautiful they play and compliment each other.
A thoroughly compelling composition and performance of it. At first I thought they were accompanied by an orchestra. But it was just the two of them filling the space with magnificent sound. The piece is a sequence of sections, each having a variation of a cadence. And each section expresses a new character. They nailed each one with total commitment. I had to listen to it again. This is for sure one of the best performances on this site. And there are some good ones.
Lloyd Blunden I definitely prefer Perlman, and Zimmerman's performance of this, but this performance is amazing as well.
+Lloyd Blunden I AGREE!!!!!!!!
@@jfb112697 that's funny, I find Perlmans version of this to be technically phenomenal but I prefer this, you can hear the practice and hard work that these 2 players have put into this piece
Coming back to this video after a few years - it is still the most intense version I have heard. First time I heard it was the classic recording with Perlman / Zukerman, after that I don't know how many I have heard... but this one sticks to my memory! Very well done.
Already since the beginning of the video the players are really distinct. Mr. SunJae, playing the higher pitched instrument while Ms. Hayang playing the lower pitched instrument. He is playing the violin like he was really hugging and caressing it as he coaxes the beautiful sounds his violin can make, while she seems like she's truly bending and stretching her viola to its true potential to produce such an amazing quality of music! Together, they are like the truest forms of what we would now say 'not conforming to the mould made by society'. As a fellow violinist, I truly adore and fangirl over the communication that musicians have when they play music together. Every intake of breath, every eye contact, every step taken, bending towards or away from each other, up and down bowing, like clashing of swords that ends up harmoniously complementing each other, i just-- argh
You're so right;)
I love how at 4:42, they start exchanging the melody. Amazing.
This is the best version of Passacaglia I have found.
I remember watching this in the first year i began playing the viola, in awe of how amazing it was. Here i am five years later, looking back on this video, and I realize that I’ve grown so much!
Performances like this made me start learning the violin as a teenager.
WHY DID I CRY
who knows lol
kyle wilson Music is worthless unless it can make a complete stranger break down and cry. - Imogen Heap in Frou Frou's "Dumbing Down of Love"
kyle wilson Because you realized that they are ONLY 15 YEARS OLD and play that beautifully!
Roberta Michelini
You shouldn't make assumptions, especially ones based on stereotypes. I played the violin as a child (still play, actually) and have very fond memories of it and of the rest of my childhood.
One can't master an instrument that young without a genuine passion for it!
kyle wilson some sands inside your eyes.
It’s not only the music, it’s not only their technique, it’s about communication between men and women on an outstanding level. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video.
If I triedto play this, I would break my bow.
i barely know how to use a bow XD i just started playing the viola like 3 or 4 months ago and we havent learned it yet
lps mc actually we r learning now lol
Nice, keep playing and you'll be as good as them good luck! :D
Victor Nguyen thanks!
Lol ikr
2:40 that part is so enchanting. It's my favorite part. It just sounds so wonderful. I love how the parts blend. Once again, music has saved my life. Can the universe please allow me to marry a musician?
1:46 omg that sounds like a soprano sax
This version of the Passacaglia is my absolute favorite. I love the interplay between the two and it sounds like they really listen to one another. The energy from this performance was outstanding while the intonation and musicality was far superior to other versions I've listened to by professional players. Love, love, love!!!!
i cant stop coming back to this video, this is the 7th time i came back to listen to this song
its too beautiful 😭😭
Somebody said, "something is missing. No soul?". Somebody needs a new pair of ears!!. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! My heart is filled with so many emotions listening to them. I hope my 11 yr old twin daughters get to this level one day :)
And maybe one day people can just enjoy the beautiful music instead of caring so much about age ;) Very well played!

what the fuck?
AJ Music it’s hard not to
How can someone dislike this??!? It's so beautiful that cleanses my soul
just amazing the way their instruments blend together. impeccable intonation between the 2 of them
몇년째 이영상 계속 보는중... 계속 들어도 질리지 않고, 해외 다른 연주자들보다 감정이 더 살아있는듯한 느낌.. 특히 파워풀한 비올라소리가 너무 좋다
비올라 파트 저거 진짜 어렵거든요 ㅠ 그래서 더 대단한 느낌인듯해요
와 나도 이거 몇 년째 보는데. 진짜 이 연주만큼 마음에 드는 연주가 많지가 않음. 이거랑 신지아님? 그분이 어떤 남자분이랑 한 거 이 두 영상이 최고
@@K_ASMR106 저도 주기적으로 와서 듣고있어요..!!
이거랑 윤소영님(+KCO) 보라색 드레스 입으셨던 피아졸라 사계가 제 유튜브 최애 영상입니다 👍🏻
Every time I hear or see people play this, I come back to this video and it feels like they’re playing an entirely different song because the amount of emotion they put into their playing is just breathtaking
I'm 15 and plan on doing the viola part with my friend for solo and ensemble. These two did amazing and I hope we sound at least half as good as them!
Bro, if youdid just 20% of it it was still amazing ;)
Soo how’d it go?
@@osielcardenas2869 they always write comments like this and never tell how it went 🥲
@@mosesbeacon6884 We never get our reply, will we :[ .....
I hope they respond-
I am back after all this time. Granted, we didn’t do….tooooo great. But now we are seniors in college and are going to give another shot for possibly my senior recital!
guys its been two hours i actually cant stop listening to this song
it is really shameful that we (the US) are doing away with music departments in our schools.....
I agree. As a freshman clarinetist, I know firsthand how bad the shortages and cuts are and how badly they impact the bands. Today, we got marching uniforms that are almost completely black and are very thick. No matter how many people pass out because of the heat of the uniforms, the school board won't replace them. Not marching isn't an option, because it gives scholarships and is about a third of our grade.
This is why hbapa exists c:
John Loughry it’s very lively where I live i don’t know what you’re talking about
John Loughry not for our HS luckily, we're all about it 🙂🙂 freshman violist
First Class Experience I have a pretty good area when it comes to orchestras. It’s in the san antonio area and I have region and YOSA
Both have great technique and musicality, and they're only 15! I see great things in the future for both of them, considering the level of skill they display now.
It’s been so many years but I keep coming back to this video - I’ve never found a violinist to do this piece with me 😢
SAME ACTUALLY
Do you play the viola?
@@user-tu2st3de1l yess
Talent and inspiration like this remind me why I love music.
Their harmonies make it sound like more than 2 instruments. This is the best duet I have ever heard in my life
I am just thanking God that I am able to hear this beautiful masterpiece. I am learning violin. I really hope to play this piece atleast before my death. Or else I ain't gonna die❤️
good luck 🙏
@@ethancheng7524 Thank you so much 🥰🫂
No matter how many versions I look up on Spotify and stuff, I’ve never found a version I like as much as this one
ikr? i wish this one was on spotify
I litteraly have all if this piece down BUT the final portion with the insane double stop string crossing accelerando. Plus the intro to that insane section. It almost sounds like a glissando when I play that fast up the violin. So close to beating this damn piece. Now where to find a violist...
+ちゃんねるまるりる yea my bad lol
Naff that. Play it on a harpsichord as the composer intended!
Stephen Hooker well I don't own one and I have no intention of buying one. I like it on violin viola better anyway.
Andrew Ohler ahahhahaa we know this is a lie. anyways, youre supposed to lock your elbow when youre playing fast so that you automatically are forced to play a short-ish note.
silverword111 whats a lie? Thanks for the advice anyway
I wanted to play the violin, but I was the only girl with long enough arms to play the viola, so that’s what I played. What a magnificent instrument. It is the soul of most compositions.
I only play piano and guitar, still. But my years with viola changed the way I hear and appreciate music.
Viola is the unsung hero.
She went so hard on that alto line...! Salute and shoutout to the violists around the nation (coming from a violinist)
Yup. These kids are just brilliant. To understand and interpret such a difficult piece and then play it with great feel and emotion is beyond talent.
A marvellous duet by these Korean pupils. Very few adults reach this same degree of proficiency. Wonderful to listen to the youth of today.
Being as this piece was originally written for one instrument, it is key that all performances of the duet version sound like it is coming from one instrument which is done excellently in this recording. The transitions are flawless and smooth. And to play this duet properly you must have some level of emotional relation with the other person which I can tell these people do. Excellent playing!
best duet since Perlman and Zukerman in their younger days : )
I play the violin. What makes the violin beautiful is the high notes on the E. Viola sounds beautiful as well; I like the deep sound.
lesliep816 nope
what makes it beautiful is the melody, vibrato, and the dynamics. High notes on the e string doesn't make it sound good. Example: I can play some notes on the E string at the end of the fingerboard, but that isn't beautiful
It isn't beautiful when it's random. But for pieces like Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and Paganini Caprice No. 24, it's almost heavenly.
Ive came back to this video for years and I can never get tired of it.
proof that genuine musical dialogue is infinitely more compelling than any amount of flawless technique. soloists even with their individual virtuosity will never have the time to rehearse together to create music that requires understanding of the other like this
I am so mesmerized by these young people's musical style and interpretation. They seem communicating each other through music, truely beautiful to hear and watch them playing their heart out., very emotional, intrigueing interpretation from two very talented young musicians. thank you so much for your dedication, hard work!!! BRAVO
These two get the top prize ...each brilliant...and together even more brilliant...completely synchronized with each...and playing it from memory looks more sublime...TOO AMAZING!! and so young...HEAVENLY!!!
I’ve been watching this video since 2015 and it continues to be one of the best ensemble videos I’ve ever seen - finally started learning the piece myself! Thank you for the beauty and making the music come alive!
my favorite part starts at 2:39
Same. It's so surreal
my favorite part starts at 0:00 to the end
I like 2:03
I like 2:03 and 4:21 best myself.

Ok i have heard this duet in other forms and by far this one is the best because theyre literally ALWAYS in sync and they play it so advanced
This performance years ago see it online is what finally made this type of music click for me
This sounds like the movie track of some insane emotional climax of rebellion. I imagine people dying for their cause in a rebellion againsy a tyrant, or a slave running to freedom, through blood sweat tears and the elements against all odds coming out as the underdog. Goosebumps every time, i love this
are you serious? 15 years old and this good? their talent and style looks so mature... I wonder how much further they have progressed..
This entire video ist just so aesthetic. The perfect performance and how they look, this elegance combined with the music holy
im back because ive been thinking about this song lately
Tbh Viola and bass don't get enough love we still love you guys
Y'all this made me glad I'm learning the Viola
Bravo!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏
At 35 years old, I have started to learn to play the viola.
This was beautiful! An inspiration to continue learning
They were only 15. This is legendary! Still beautiful!!!
this is my favorite recording of this piece, all the others were very stiff, you can tell that these kids are poring their hearts into it! This inspires me to work harder to play with as much passion as them.
내 딸이 이 두 학생처럼만 자라 주었으면 좋겠어요
어쩜 어린 학생들에게서
프로 그 자체의 모습과 카리스마가 느껴지니...😊
연주 잘 감상했어요.
고마워요
I cannot believe what I am watching here. I am no expert but I would pay for this duet show in Carnegie Hall.
I love the pizzicato!!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous piece brought to life by marvelous players. Gives me the chills every time :)
the vibrato and the slurs oh my god i’m in love 😍😍
I can offer you my version of this brilliant work by G. F. Handel and Johann Halvorsen, along with a beautiful video of the winter morning.

best recording of this piece on the internet
I like the guys stance. So professional and controlled.
2:03 - this part give me chills every time. Love this piece.
such a wonderful sound, violin/viola duets have always melted my heart
I think we are in the western world far below this high standard of performance and music-teaching, my highest adoration for this beautiful young people!
classical experts are expressing their passion in music in the comment section, me on the other hand "what, violin & viola are two different things?" 😂... god bless them for their talents & dedication
this song looks so fun to duet, now i shall practice more (40 hours a day) to properly play this one day
also i love how majestical this duet sounds, its so beautiful
They sound absolutely amazing!!! I'm partial to the viola/violist because my son used to play...I love this duet...very soul soothing! Great job young people!
Best Passacaglia I’ve ever seen. They seems like feel the music and each other.
Wait... Fifteen years old! The performance is absolutely incredible, but the factvthey are so young is just mindblowing!
Absolutely amazing! I love the sound from violin, viola and cello and this is one reason for loving them. A beautiful music from these instruments make me so glad and makes my eyes to cry.
there's no cello...
Poor bass gets no love
Willy García The most beautiful viola piece for me is "peng peng gong viola concerto" I Hope you will listen this piece because it is not really known but diserve it
5:18 best part
I love the violin but the viola really stood out for me in this. The rich and deep sound just does something to my heart. It was like melted butter.
im back to listen to this again
the synchronicity is beautiful wow
