Hi all. We have aqcuired a mic arm for the audio issues and have been using it in videos that are already released, this video was just a recording from before getting the mic arm. There may be a couple of videos left to edit that still don't have the mic arm used, but it shouldn't really be a problem in the future. - Lucas
I didn't even notice that the audio was off in any way. Just another amazing fun episode, making history cool. I hope there are some fun teachers out there who show your videos in class.
@@AmarisFrede There were a couple of "thump" sounds from Karl putting his hands on the desk. Not really serious in my opinion, but any improvements are welcome (not that I think there is anything currently wrong with the production quality).
You didn't mention the one anecdote that every single Italian knows about Paganini. The one time he was asked to do an encore after a performance, he declined to do so by saying “Paganini does not repeat himself”. That sentence is still used by Italians today, either in contrast to someone doing the same thing over and over again (as in “Paganini does not repeat himself, but this guy sure does”) or to imply that you’re way above repeating yourself. It's supposed to sound as pretentious as humanly possible (although I guess Paganini could back it up)
Despite going to music school as an additional curriculum, I did not know much about Paganini. So the most active use of his name for me is a Russian anecdote. In it a guy asks another guy named Mykola (a regional version of Nikolai) to play a violin, repeatedly, in Ukrainian dialect. And every time Mikola refuses. Eventually the guy turns to "the audience" and declares: "You just heard Mykola Paganyny's 7th Caprice" (misspelled specifically to show a shift in pronunciation). The anecdote relies on the direct use of the word "caprice" in Russian and on a dialectic name version that sounds very similar to Niccolo.
The thing with a violin loosing its quality of sound if not played, is a real thing. The wood of the instrument needs to vibrate regularly to resonate beautifully. And also, the more in tune you play, the fuller the resonant vibrations and the higher the quality of sound. Playing keeps a violin (or any wooden instrument) alive.
I was going to say the same thing, you really have to play them. And can you imagine playing one of the great violins. I can't even read music and I think that is very cool.
That's why it sucks so much that pretentious rich people buy famous violins and keep them locked up behind glass and don't allow them to be played. It's LITERALLY ruining the instrument.
I listen to classical music in the morning at work. One day I was listening to Paganini, and a coworker called it 'lullaby music' I told him "the devil wrote me that lullaby"
16:45 Slight correction here, the guitar that Brian May owns is called The Red Special or The Fireplace, because the wood for its neck was pulled from the mantle of a fireplace. The Frankenstrat was designed by Eddie Van Halen, and is one of the grandfathers of modern heavy metal guitar design, though it's a bit less... refined than the one Brian May has.
A bit of a rumour, and can't verify its source, but there is the tale where a trio of disheartened violinists tried to sabotage Paganini during a concerto: they got to his violin just before he went on stage, and nicked two of his strings. During the performance the strings snapped. Paganini, the badass that he was, didn't mind at all and FINISHED THE CONCERTO on the remaining two strings.
There are several versions of the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata played on the electric guitar at the correct tempo, and it is metal as hell. They are available on youtube.
A lot of what classical music was banned when it first came out. They really were metal of their day, and tells yiu how far back trying to ban music is. And banning never works, the next generation will always find their own drumbeat. 😊
Some people are so defined by one characteristic that their entire existence is shattered when they realize that they're not the best. I've witnessed first hand what happens when the person that wins every single time then moves up to a national or international level and realizes that they're not even top 100. I've even witnessed artists that watch a video online of somebody doing their style in a way that's so much better than they could ever achieve and it causes them to give up. Most of the time when people drop it and never go back it's because they were so sold on the idea that they're the best at that medium that they can't handle the idea when somebody shows them that they're not even close.
That's why it's so important for people to realize that there'll always be someone better at any skill, they may never meet them, they may never be directly compared to them, they may not even be alive during the same era as them, but they will eventually lose and that's alright
Salieri composed a piece for the Emperor and Mozart heard it from outside the room came in and played it better and faster. It's a scene in Amadeus too
If he was a gamer he would have been called a Hacker, a cheater If he was an athlete he would have been accused of being roided A tale as old as time...
Hi everyone at fact fiend! I wanted to say how much I appreciate your dedication to only 1 ad per video. I decided to go to school which cut my work hours and one of the things i decided to cut for my budget was youtube premium. I have had youtube premium for years and had no idea how bad the ads have gotten. Trying to watch other content creators and watching you all is such a difference. I get to actually enjoy your video while doing other things. For a lot of other creators i keep forgetting what the video is even about if i don't skip the every 5min ads or get annoyed having to switch over to skip. Which really ruins the point of using background videos to relax. I had always loved your care for the viewers and I thought i respected it to the correct amount. Now, I really know how much to respect you all for this. You all are amazing, I hope you all get to enjoy this for as long as you want and never have to go back to real jobs.
Speaking of music played backwards, that kinda reminds me of that whole thing where skyward sword's main theme's melody was zelda's lullaby played backwards, something that couldn't have been intentional as zelda's lullaby had been kicking around since the early 90s, but works so well.
Tim Roth as 1900 and Clarence Williams III as Jelly Roll Morton in 'The Legend of 1900' gave us the most captivating non-violent duel ever captured on screen. Their piano face-off was a testament to the sheer power of music and artistry. Probably nothing compared to Beethoven's duels, but still pretty rad.
That having extremely long fingers of Paganini is such an OP power skill as a musician of a stringed instrument such as a violin and others like it. For a modern example, John Mayer is known to have a slightly long thumb, this has made him play his guitar in a rather particular way that it's difficult for many guitarists to do since not everyone can reach with their thumb what he can, the best example of this is probably the acoustic version of Neon, a song that, while many can play, not many play exactly like John does (this, using the same fingers at all times that he does). Now, imagine that's what happens when you get 1 long finger, if the 5 were like this, it's almost as if Paganini was musically a totally different kind of being.
so I very much enjoy classical music and also watch 2 set violin semi regularly; fast doesn't necessarily equate with more difficult, you also have to keep in mind with where the music is performed. In college I was lucky enough to travel to Europe (from midwest US) and we got to perform in a proper church some original latin church music. During rehearsals you would have these pauses in the music that didn't make proper sense, but in that church that pause would allow the echoes to die down and not interfere with the next chord, I think we all got goosebumps and stared at each other, it was really cool. But nifty video and cary on :)
Proof classic music is played too slow is Listz himself. The Listzian piano is one with a metal core as pre-listzian pianos had a wooden core, but Listz would effectively massacre them with his forceful playing
If you like the Scott Pilgram music battle, you have to check out the guitar battle in Crossroads from 1986. Steve Vai vs the Karate Kid 😄 But Steve Vai did the actual guitar playing for Macchio in the closeups, so it was basically Steve Vai vs himself 😂
I tried to learn the violin, because my parents made me. They eventually got frustrated and so did I that I wasn't improving that I stopped even trying. Learning the violin is harder than what people think. In fact, I am not musically inclined when it comes to musical instruments. I don't have the dexterity, or the mental attention span to even learn how to play one of these. Dang ADHD.
If the video title didn't have Violinist in it, I almost would have sworn you said "nothing gets me hyper to open a beer than a good ol chat about Violence!" xD
As far as "battles that aren't battles" go, the best I've ever seen is Skwisgaar Vs Toki guitar battle from Metalocolypse (I think I spelled the names right)
Amazing video! I just wanted to let ye know, Brian May's guitar is called Red Special. Franken-strat was a guitar played by Eddie Van Halen, with custom wiring and an extra switch under the strings that did nothing except confuse people trying to replicate Van Halen's tone
Follow on from the Jaws example; Star Wars. The Original Trilogy is warmly regarded by people today, but it’s never been High Art, and likely if we actually looked at them, some of the things the Prequels and Sequels are criticised for today were probably present in the OT, but for whatever reason they either worked, or didn’t detract from them and the OT gets regarded as this landmark of cinema history.
I'm not going to be an ass like most people would be in this moment but, you have the Red special and The Frankenstrat kind of switched/ combined as you mention in this video. They have similar stories so it's not difficult to see how they got mixed up. The big dick baller Brain May of Queen did build a guitar with his father that he still uses as his number one axe to this day. That guitar is called the red special and is indeed "special" do to it's innovative electronics allowing many different combinations of it's three pick ups (notably The "nasally" out-of-phase sounds you hear in the solo for killer queen.) The one and only Frankenstrat was wielded by non other than the legendary Eddie Van Halen who built it with Imitation Fender parts and a Gibson 335 pick up that was extremely unorthodox for it's time combining his favorite parts of two completely different guitar designs and leading to the term "Super strat" used to describe the combination on future guitars. This comment isn't to be a jerk and correct you, just a fun opportunity to talk about two of my favorite guitars and guitarists. I'm well aware most won't care about my rant but hopefully a few of you learned something.
7:30 this is false. Orchestras today are WAY more technically proficient than those of Mozart's day. Also, that Beethoven 5th you played an excerpt from has been sped up with a computer, you can tell by the distortion. Traditionally some orchestras did play it a bit slower, but no one plays it as fast as that, nor should they.
I've read in a book about Steven King that Shakepeare was the Steven King of his day but literary critics of today won't acknowlege it because he's too popular with the masses.
Loving the content as ever, but just a quick suggestion: pop a bit of foam under your mic stand as every time you touch the table, the mic picks it up. 👍
Wanting to see Jaws in Shakespearian dialect reminds me that they have books written of all the star wars movies as if they are a Shakespeare play. R2-D2 has the best dialog
An example with Shakespeare is the fact the play Much Ado About Nothing is a sex joke. Nothing would be pronounced No thing and that sounded like vagina.
Shakespeare was poop jokes and gender nonsense, to call it "high art" now would probably make him die laughing... I mean, unless you meant "pass the dutchie to the left-hand-side" "high".... then he'd fit right in I'm sure.
Man, y'all mention all the named instruments. Forgot about Trigger, Willie Nelson's guitar. The one guitar he's used for decades. He won't even play an exact replica.
Hey guys, cool video! Just a friendly reminder: whenever Karl puts his hand down to quick, the microphone picks it up and it's a little bit annoying. I don't know if you can fix that somehow, but that would be great!
Legit wanted to comment this too, its been since the new setup, I keep thinking its someone moving around in my house so I pause/take my headphones off to.. silence.
We've got a mic arm for this problem, it's already in some videos but this was recorded before we'd added it into the setup, so there might just be a couple of stragglers left that were recorded without, but it won't be much of an issue in the future. - Lucas
waves! hi, hello fellow audiophiles, the sound of the thumping of the desk is very aubile is their a way to fix that that doesn't involve "just not watching the video"? my ears thank you.
For anyone who might be interested in exploring some violin music after watching this. I cannot recommend David Garrett enough. He's probably the greatest violinist of the modern era and his music is very approachable because he covers a lot of classic rock songs. Happy listening
He must of been very popular with the ladies and not just because of his skills on the violin, no wonder women use to throw their favors and pants at him.
Yeah, but the difference between Jaws and Transformers is that Jaws is well-written, well-directed and well-acted. Transformers isn't. Jaws is still popular after 50 years because it's good. The first Michael Bay Transformers is 15 years old and hardly anyone watches it any more- he just churns out sequels every few years to keep the franchise alive based on marketing hype and improvements in special effects. There were lots of other playwrights around in Shakespeare's time that were popular back then, but nobody bothers performing or reading any more because they don't have as many themes that people can still identify with or are just not as good.
Kaerl could you please isolate your mic from your desk. I listen to this via headphones, You laying your hands on the desk is like someone stomping on the floor upstairs.
There’s definitely a degree of difficulty from playing fast but playing slow pieces is in my opinion harder. The margin for error is just bigger in slower tempos where if you’re off in faster tempos it’s less obvious.

Fun fact about Paganini, he published letters from his mom to prove he was human. He kept them in his guitar case just to show people.
That reminds me of the Republicans asking for Obama's birthday certificate
@@lucassevey5989 Omg, imagine 18th century republicans making lying clickbait newspapers about him 🤣

He must of been very popular with the ladies and not just because of his skills on the violin, no wonder women use to throw their favors and pants at him.
A violinist that dances would get voted off Americas Got Talent. Just ask Lindsey Stirling.
Maybe Paganini is vampire?
Love this
Nice
So whatever Tartini played wasn't the greatest song in the world. It was just a tribute
Did he live in Georgia, and did he ever get into a contest with the devil?
Good content could you try and isolate the mic so it doesn't pickup all of Kyle's arm hits on the desk. Just my nitpick.
Shakespeare would have loved Family Guy.
Mathematical duals ?
Nice
Eddie Vam Halen..
Yeah, but the difference between Jaws and Transformers is that Jaws is well-written, well-directed and well-acted. Transformers isn't. Jaws is still popular after 50 years because it's good. The first Michael Bay Transformers is 15 years old and hardly anyone watches it any more- he just churns out sequels every few years to keep the franchise alive based on marketing hype and improvements in special effects. There were lots of other playwrights around in Shakespeare's time that were popular back then, but nobody bothers performing or reading any more because they don't have as many themes that people can still identify with or are just not as good.
10:54 - well, feet on floor. 😉
Kaerl could you please isolate your mic from your desk. I listen to this via headphones, You laying your hands on the desk is like someone stomping on the floor upstairs.
I always compare Shakespeare to Joss Whedon. Pre-prick Joss Whedon.
There’s definitely a degree of difficulty from playing fast but playing slow pieces is in my opinion harder. The margin for error is just bigger in slower tempos where if you’re off in faster tempos it’s less obvious.
