Violin JOINS THE BATTLE
Yes
Hhmmmmmm, I wonder if Latchezar Dimitrov and Rob Landes are friends or family or know each other🧐🧐........ CUZ BoTH of them are AmaZinG at Playin the Violin 🎻🎻, .......if they both duo a violin at RUSH E, THAT would be crazy. The Meeks all over again🤩🤩
Lol
Haha
Very Funny
Fanchen went real quiet when people started this on different instruments
Lollll
Tbf, by far the single hardest technical challenge of Rush E on piano is the repeated notes, which is trivially easy for a good violinist because you can just do an even tremolo. And really, all the passagework is easier on violin - the other hardish part is the 16ths at end of the A section, which involves some somewhat knotty traversal on piano (quick sequences right into an arpeggio right back up to a descending scale) but on violin it’s all in the same place. Add to that the fact that you’re not playing the accompaniment on violin either, and it’s not even close in terms of relative difficulty. This dude is a beast though, he can clearly play much harder things than this, you can see how easy this was for him and how he effortlessly added extra challenges. This was awesome regardless.

Imagine if Rush E was performed by EVERY SINGLE instrument in the world at the same time, I wonder how it would sound like
_loses sanity cutely_ /j
just like rush e would sound like, its like every musician in the world have lost all of their creativeness.
@@josgre547 So you think playing any kind of song on piano is exactly same with playing it on a guitar for example? This isn't lack of creativity, just lack of logic...
I'm pretty sure that's what the end of the world sounds like, like it just starts playing at New Years when the count hits 0 and then starts counting back up xD
We need this. Soon.
I'm a violin player, so I started watching this thinking "oh yeah, I could probably do that with a lot of practic-" and then by the end, he was switching positions at such a fast rate, he'd TURNED HIS BOW THE OTHER WAY ROUND and I have come to the conclusion that I, in fact, would need about a decades more worth of practice to reach this level
my little sister cousin has practised 3 years, and i think she will take 57 more years to master this song lol
Same haha...ha... *Sigh*

I actually prefer it on the violin. This sounded much cleaner and I heard notes I hadn't noticed when played on the piano. Well done.
He is adding notes in there that aren’t in the original MIDI file.
Yeah it’s not rush E. he misses bits and adds others, that’s why you hear different notes.

YAY A LINGLING WANNABEE
0:56 idk why, but it feels me with DETERMINATION
This is like the introduction of the main villain of the story
If there are those who are wondering why at 1:34 he played the violin with a bow like that i will tell you why: when you play at the frog of the bow you can make more sound, its the heavier part of the bow, but its easier to make quick bow movements at the tip, so he put the frog at the tip so he could play really fast with more accented notes
I don't know violin slang so I still don't understand lmao
@@Sushi3043 the bow (stick in hand) has different parts to it. basically the frog is the lower part of the stick. Playing there produces a fuller sound. However, it’s easier to move your bow super fast when you play with the tip of the bow, more movement basically. So he combined the two to get a full sound while playing real fast at the same time. Hope that helps
as a flute player, this knowellege will be noted
@@dozenbuzzard2662 I see what you did there
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know that, but it’s probably because our music teacher yells at us when we don’t do it 😭

Amazing work you nailed it. A big applause for all the effort you put there.
I would love to see a video with videos all the different instruments this has been played on all going at once.
That bow hold at 1:41 should be illegal-
It balances the weight more and makes it easier to move faster without having to use much arm strength
It is illegal. Rob is currently serving a life sentence in violin gulag.
@@finchcrossly2836 This is just not true, please don't spread misinformation like this LOL. The bow is perfectly capable of moving at insane speeds with minimal movement when the violinist holds it in a more conventional manner.

It puts more weight at the top to prevent the bow from bouncing. I do it all the time and it makes playing much easier when you try to change strings.

I’ve been playing violin for almost 5 years, and most of my orchestra directors tend to lean towards faster songs so there’s a really toxic side of me that thinks I could somehow pull this off
This was sped up. The blinks are too fast and the left hand movement was a bit too quick. 1:22 Also the very clear jump here was obvious that it turned back into normal time. He's been playing for 14 yrs or so and even he can't pull it off so don't feel too bad haha
@@auisfbiuhask6353 No, it wasn't.
I can blink very fast when I want to, and so can everyone, so this wasn't sped up.
It's possible he just recorded at different times, or the jump was an editing choice, a transition into the second part.
And have you seen the end? That's just his skill, not him not being able to pull it off. He is THAT fast at playing on a violin.
(Sorry if there is any pronoun mess-ups but I just really needed to address this)
@@auisfbiuhask6353 i feel like its kinda sped up but not too much, you can see at 1:22 the song stops and it gets back to normal and the fps is maybe around 30-40 while when its faster it goes up higher which obviously the camera wouldnt be able to do, sorry if this was confusing i tried my best at explaining it
@@auisfbiuhask6353 When you play a game like osu or other rhythm game something and a fast part shows up your body tends to move fast too so i think the same apply to when you are playing a song in a instrument and i think that minute in your reply is a transition to the 2nd part
That is actually way better than I thought it would be
Awesome!
That’s incredible ❤
Fanchen: Manages to play Rush E on Piano
Rob: Did I hear *Violin??*
No you misheard, Fanchen indeed did rush e on piano
I thought he was going to play the top and bottom part. This is still really impressive way better then I can play. His technique is also really, why is he using the bow backwards btw.
Not a violinist, but from what people are saying, it’s to show that he can do it even when doing so makes the violin harder to play (and sound good) along with a grip one isn’t supposed to be used to
using the bow backwards for entertainment😥
It’s to show how hard it is let alone to be able to play it that way. Also, it’s funny.
As a violinist, I think i have the answer!
Playing violin quickly is difficult; the bow is sometimes so light it goes flying off the strings in the middle of a lick. Flipping the bow so that the heavier frog is on top but still close to the strings may be to keep the bow on the strings. I'll experiment with this a little as soon as I can.
Also, violin cannot play the lower part, as the lower part is a bass clef and violin is in treble. It has 2 octaves of difference, making it impossible to play low C on violin.
Nonono I think it’s just for entertainment, I swear to god no one actually does this when playing fast parts😭
I just want to share, now that my time as a teacher is done. Your performance of Rush E was of great joy to many 5-year olds. When this song would blast from the speaker, the kids knew they were going to have a dance party. As your playing hit mach-speed, I would throw down ribbons and the kids would go positively bonkers for it. "PLAY IT AGAAAAAAAAAAAIN". You beat the guy that did this on an accordion and the bagpipes guy by a long shot. Thank you for having your fabulous work out in the world, because you helped us make some grand memories. Somewhere this song will live on in their little memories. "Dance Party time!"
