My understanding is that Victor Borge got started with going almost pure comedy when he was playing a serious concert, and as he was doing a routine trill on the piano, he looked out at the audience, winked at them, and kept playing. The resulting guffaws convinced him to do full-on comedy, although he would also pull pranks on unsuspecting listeners, even as a child prodigy: He would play one of his own pieces, and attribute it to Beethoven or Brahms or whomever. His parents knew all along that this was one of Victor's tunes, but they didn't want to embarrass the guests who listened to him, that they had no clue it wasn't one of the masters! That alone makes Borge one of the greats!
This is a great example of what I always told my guitar students. Music is a toy, that's why we play music. We don't work music, we don't beat our heads against music because it feels so good when we stop. We play. Don't forget to have fun. The more you practice the more fun you can have.
Absolutely. You can't do most of those tricks unless you are very, very good and have mastered your instrument. Just the quality and intonation of his playing is quite noticeable even when playing the basic melody.
To me, it's both. That took some serious practice, which is something I should probably be considering .... Besides that, whenever I play, I am so unprofessional that I have a hard time doing the string transitions - there usually comes an accompanying screech whenever I have to transition. The only time he struggled with the transitions was when he was playing the bow behind his back!!!
As someone who played in the Jacksonville symphony youth orchestra as a teenager quit for about twenty years and have relearned over the past five and become a street performer I can absolutely assure you that to play pop goes the weasel in this fashion you are absolutely playing a miriad of other things.
@@ken_sparrow "The technique is all incorrect classically" You mean, classical violin soloists don't play the violin between their legs? or on their backs? really? It is OBVIOUS this guy knows how to play the violin. Don't be a hater.
Julian Rubis, no they dont. Big pegs are for dramatic changes like when tunning a really old violin that is very out of tune. Small ones are for precise tunning and are used 99% of the time when tunning
Down a UA-cam rabbit hole and found this gem. I am both impressed by the talent here, as there obviously is quite a bit. But the comedy side of it. Dude is a genius! I was laughing non stop on this one. Harmonics are difficult to play and I had a lot of parts I like. At the end the bit about "finding the right notes" was the perfect way to end that. XD I dig the whole routine man. Great stuff. May be an older video but damn that very quickly become one of my faves. Lol
This is the best thing motive-wise I've seen on the internet! Innocent, no false pretenses, no alterior motives, no false deceptions, just simple talent showing what simple innocent talent can do! And very much talent for his age. A full blown musician!
Having attempted to learn to play violin in junior and senior high school, I can relate to the talent and poise this guy has. I'd bet he was 1st chair, 1st violin at the time, and went on to achieve great things since "thinking out of the box with aplomb comes natural to him. Bravo kid!

Keep working, man! I have no instructor and most of the songs I learn are solely from ear. I hope you do far better than me! Dominus tecum! Pax vobiscum.
Victor Borge would be very excited to see this! You have a wonderful tone, and great skill already in your young life! Keep it up! This is wonderful - making people laugh is a gift!!!
Agreed. That was great acting, and great playing. I think it's time for me to learn how to play "Pop Goes the Weasel" in honorable memory of his performance. Pax tecum!

This young man is an expert. I have played the violin and I know how complex it is to make it sound listenable, even when we hold the violin in it's normal position, not to mention those many different odd positions where he makes it sound very well, without getting confused by losing the emplacement of the different strings when changing their directions.
And end up with another totally unqualified president? I don't think so! That comment makes as much sense as saying he should be an airline pilot or brain surgeon. What will you suggest next? Maybe a reasonable good actor who got upstaged by a chimp or, perhaps, a con man who can't succeed in business should be president.
What a Ham! The only thing bigger than this musician's Stage Ego is his incredible talent and gift for timing, presentation, interpretation and performance...He was in TOTAL control at all time...I especially like his initial "march" onto center stage (kind of like "I got this")... Bravo!

Momo Wang No. It does have the same sound, but it's actually called "hooked bowing". Later on there is Staccatissimo, though, which is pretty close i guess.
