For those who keep asking what the piece I am playing is, it is the beginning of the first movement of the Shostakovich Cello Sonata.
And the first song?
Same with me thoo 😂😂
2:03 My ears: DEAD
Thank youuuu
Sorry but what is the piece you played at 3:01
I play cello and bass and when I walk around with a bass on my back while carrying the cello you wouldn’t imagine the looks I get
Trust me ur not alone i do the same thing
Same😭
I play baritone horn which is kind like a smaller tuba and people stare allot too lol
awww i feel for ya
Jesus
For Cellists without a rockstop the struggle is real.
They slide so much they should make the bottoms more sticky maybe Idk if that would work tho
For some reason I would always end up with no
rockstop or anything for concerts. I would end up so mad
When I was in fourth grade I didn't have one and we had a concert on tile.... That was fun
@@clarebearpostema57 oh damn😭
True 😂
showing a cello player to my friend.
"is that a guitar?"
oh boy.... A GUITAR?!
Kaylee Rahman it's ridiculous 😂
OMG TRUE!! I was walking downtown and someone said "DO YOU PLAY THE GUITAR??" ..
Some one in my school said VI-O-LA I stead of VE-O-LA
Ikr like all my teachers see me carrying my cello and say "oh so you play guitar?" LIKE DO PEOPLE LEARN DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTERMENTS AND INSTEAD OF STRINGS IT'S JUST GUITAR????
“Is that a bow instrument, or a violin?”
And once I started plucking my cello on the bus and someone said
“SOMEONE’S PLAYING THEIR GUITAR!!”
There was a girl at my school who thought my cello was a violin... A VIOLIN
Aaliyah Holmes oh my god wow
Aaliyah Holmes im a bassist and i get told the same thing “omg is that a violin?”
one girl thing that my guitar is celllo!😫
one guy thought my cello was a bass
at least they didn't think it was a viola
my friend who plays double bass always comes to orchestra practice ON HIS BIKE. with his bass strapped to his back. it always looks ridiculous but also kind of dangerous since you always get the feeling he's going to fall over at any moment.
😐😐😐😐
Gotta go fast
what a good balance.....
Damn...
Laura B lOl me too I play the bass but I don’t carry it to and from school luckily I feel bad for him
My personal cello pet peeves:
1. IS THAT A GUITAR???
2. One unprofessional music teacher made me play the DOUBLE BASS because ”OH YOU PLAY THE CELLO IT’S PRACTICALLY THE SAME” um, NO? They have different strings???
3. Getting a melody part in an orchestra or a string group and being like ”guys I have melody here so if you didn’t play the highest notes you can get from a violin so loud thanks?” and nothing improves
4. When there’s a door that’s too short
5. Public transportation is hell
6. One time a drunk guy at a train station came up to me and asked what I played and I responded with cello and he said “I ONCE HAD A CELLO WITH EIGHT STRINGS” and I just, okay time to leave
Free feel to add to the list :)
I was on the subway and this lady was telling me that I was going to be the next Yo Yo Ma
Also when I have my hard case, people think I’m hiding something in it
When music sheets think
Cello=really low
So its just on the c and g string the entire piece
PjandBolt that's so annoying aicjsmmdmc
LucariøUA-cams 36 I know people always say to me, ”Oh you play that low violin thing right? The... Uhmmm... Double Bass, ”🤦🏻♀️ I mean they're technically not wrong because I played Double Bass when I was younger but I have an Instagram account with Cello in the literal name🤦🏻♀️
You forgot doors that are too small
good one!! -J
Or when you have to get out of a car and there's more cars waiting and judging
nah that's mainly for bassists i constantly knock my scroll on the top of door frames when i'm carrying my bass
+gabriella.s I go by train to my lesson every week and I always have to take the cello of when I walk into the train or I would crash
+TheHalfBloodPrincess you are right but honestly do you think people are not staring at a cellist ?
there was one guy at my school who thought that my cello is accordion
Marta Kekez On the otherhand, people always ask me what is in my accordion case. “Is that a suitcase?”
I was in the bus and this one guy thought my cello was a guitar
What the heck? An accordion isn’t even a string instrument!
nicholas lang *Excuse me, do you know what an accordion looks like??*
Not that i know of
*violinist laughing in the distance*
Iris Valentim legit me rn
Iris Valentim (me)
Same 😂
I was just about to say that, but add violists too.
😭😭😭😭
But despite all, we love our cellos, no matter how hard it can get!!
YES! Sometimes it can be a little hard to deal with but despite that I love playing!
Yep!
YES. i play rental cellos just for school years (so far i've played for a year) so i have to go go my summers without my cello. i grew an emotional attachment to my cello :(
I was carrying my cello from the bus stop to my house and a passerby asked if I was carrying a dead body.
*"Dude, have you ever seen a cello before?"*
*"Nope."*
Oh you cellist have it easy carrying your instrument but us, doublebass, it's another story, I truly hate stairs and violinist that do not move out of the way 😪
Scarlett Weingartshofer i feel you sooooooo much cuz same here
Oh man,yes. Don't you wish to have the powers that come with the ant man suit, I mean it would be easier to carry around the bass even intercontinental flights with out worrying about broken or damaged instruments
wasnt aware that under the "someone had it worse" rule we cant whine
You’re so right, even at school when I’m carrying my bass and I’m trying to pass between people who are in the way they don’t move. They just stand there and stare at you and then you have to repeat it again “EXCUSE ME”.
Double bass here ,cellos have it easy 😝
Junior T for real same
Completely agree. I've had a countless amount of people say "That's a nice Cello you have there" or when I describe my instrument they'll say "Why don't you just play the cello?"
Junior T person: is that a violin
Violaist:ITS A VIOLA
*violinists laughing*
*violinist* uhm think about actually playing the instrument!
Imagine "Double bass problems" or "Octabasse problems" haha
Misi Pishi How do you even move an octobass you need like a dozen people
They would probally be the same but more extreme
This one kid at my school thought a cello was a type of bell.
*A bell.*
What an idiot... 😀😅😂
How is that even possible
my favourite thing about this video is that it opened with the elgar concerto
Song that she is playing is Shostakovich Cello Sonata in D minor, Op.40
Yup, that's right! -J
Dude I feel you, especially with the end pin slipping and the hair oof. Especially taking to set up compared to a violin/viola that takes like 2 minutes. Smh😤😤
SomeguestHere eh shoulder rests are pretty annoying too
Natsume Wu true
I'm both cello and violin and I prefer the setup with a violin all we have to do is gr it out of our case get our bow get shoulder rest put on instrument and done
You won’t experience these trains truly until you play bass
cellist are lucky their cellos can actually be set down on its side
my violin has to put down on its bottom *shrug*
Christine Niu yeah but then some idiot runs by and knocks it over and it breaks the bridge
People don't trip over your violin just because it was in the way.
Christine Niu try being a viola nobody loves or even knows about them they get the worst parts of all songs to
Cookiez&Milk there was this substitute for orchestra and he tripped over a cello and broke it in half.
Zoe Z I almost had that happen once when my friend was at my house. I was a little pissed inside but I had to act like it was alright. 😂
This is me but with a bass
Dedrick Cruz same
I can relate so much to this😂 people always stare at me in the public when I carry my cello on my back as if I had a dead person on my back
Walking up to a reflective surface and thinking someone is standing right behind you. Scared myself many times like this. Terrifying.
¿Doble Bass problems?
Any violinists just here chilling?
Wilson Mah yep
me
Wilson Mah yep
Always
Wilson Mah yeah
It took me a solid 5 minutes to get my end pin to the right length because I had a different chair 👌🏻
If it's already hard to carry a cello upstairs... now imagine with a bass
FINALLY SOMEONE WHOS HAIR GETS STUCK LIKE ME
I have gotten my hair stuck a few times with my violin lol
When your end pin starts slowly sinking and you find yourself crouching over the ground while playing the song...
I used to play the cello and I had these problems, now I play the bass and I have even more!
John Doe oh my god literally same
Love your content! Keep it up! :)
Thank you SWProductions!! :) -J
THIS IS SO ACCURATE, I'M SUBSCRIBING!!! 😂😂😂
*Also I have this problem where I will set up everything and once everything is in place, my sheet music will FALL AND I'LL REACH OUT TO GRAB IT AND I'LL ACCIDENTALLY FELL THE STAND AND AAGAGHAHAHHAHHAH all while holding my cello and bow in hand*
YAYYY I found a cello channel!!!
Love cello music. Thank you for sharing your talent.
i started cello in 4th grade. i was jealous of the violinists who carried their instruments around so easily. i switched to violin in 5th grade. that was 47 years ago. i never regretted the switch.
Thats how i was but I converted from cello to bass 😂
Subscribed! Your awesome! You got every one of my struggles in this vid! XD
Hahaha yay!! Glad you enjoyed this and that it was relatable! -Jenna
Aw thanks!!! Appreciate the support! Haha yuppp takes one to know one! ;) -J
Yes!! The struggle is real. No one moves for cellists. They just don't care. And two way doors, and low ceilings and walkways, and narrow ailes. And then the stage itself...DEATHTRAP! At rehearsals when people try to walk OVER your resting cello. So many,many things. But you love every minute if it. It is truly a labor of love.
Why don't you mark your end pin with a sharpie (if it's black use a metallic one)?
Arabella Tan because a lot of times at concerts where we have all kinds of different chairs or wherever you have to keep adjusting it
That's right!
For the rocks stop problem, I really recommend the “Blackhole”! It’s small, light, handy, and the most important feature is that, it NEVER slips! Just make sure that the bottom of the stopper is clean.
At least you can put it on your lap for the end pin unlike the bass
This is completely accurate, but the cello is so worth it
Where did you get your case,it is so nice!!
Hi!! My case is from Bam France! It's the Mint Green Bam NewTech model. Hope this helps! -J
Real cute presentation. Thanks for shooting and sharing.
I have a very small cello so once a small child said is that a getour
"The elevator is out of order" I've heard that too many times. Thank God for escalators when I'm at the mall and busking
What about double bass lol
This is the most relatable cello vid I have ever seen
I can relate to _everything_ on the list. It's funny to see that we all struggle with the same things ^^
I’m just admiring at how beautiful that case is, like dayum.
hahah glad you liked my case!! -J
Bass players crying
Tip for all my cello players~ when taking out your endpin it's good to do a little more than the length of your index finger
Ummm why did you change it this video used to have a bass with it at the stairs when she says “don’t even” so was there a problem with it ( no hate love you)
hahah love u too! i think thats actually from another video by another youtube (??) because we never had a bassist in this video although it would be hilarious if we had that haha thanks for watching! -J
D&J productions oh ok thx I think I got some videos mixed up and I love your videos I have probably watched every one there is
Abby Meyer aw thanks ur so sweet! -J
D&J productions I have a question for you, how long have you played the cello because you are really good at it and i found the video that had the bass in it
Abby Meyer 14 years!
Cello is the most beautiful Instrument in the world
Lets agree to disagree, personally i think the bass is the most beautiful. I play both though.
I have another one: Every non musician asks whether this is a guitar... A GUITAR... ONE MY BACK!
This is my entire orchestra life
Nah you're weak af fam. Have you ever tried carrying a full sized cello and *cloth* case by handle only in 100 degree weather for miles just to practice at home? You don't know the true struggle m8
Valentín Alanis Actually this is a full sized cello in a hard case that is much heavier than a cloth case. Also we are walking in 10 degree weather here.
carrying a cello in any weather in any case; Cloth or hard is challenging, let's just agree that this is a big instrument that we love anyway.
Valentín Alanis ok but that seems hard but have you tried doing all that but with a doublebass, cuz thats my struggle
Candice Marchese damn.. rip lol
I agree with this video so much. I'm a cello player myself and I can agree highly.
The awkward moment when u stand in public and a stranger arrives asking u: "oH! iS tHiS a gUiTaR?"
Like yas bish! A guitar is exact as big as a cello and guitars also have extra pockets for their bows wwttffff
This is what I struggle with EVERY DAYYYY! 😂😂
Setting up takes me literally 10 minutes, gotta take the cello, bow and rock stop out, gotta get a stand, get the music and set it up, pull out the end pin, tighten the bow, rosin it and finally I'm ready to play
I couldn’t breathe when the violinist was so quick and you’re there just dieing😂
My friends always compliment me on how fit I am. It's thanks to the cello
I am a beginning violinist, but I absolutely love your channel!
I know right, the pin slipping is so annoying when I practice. Plus my hair gets stuck, but it's so worth it, the sound is just so mesmerizing and the sound is beautiful
The Elgar Cello Concerto at the beginning 😍
“The awkward commute”
Double basses trying to carry their bass on the train: 😗
XD *walking to class* cello:*turtle speed* violin: NEEOOOOOOM
Pro: you get to make the most beautiful sounds
LOL....It takes so much effort and time just to set up the instrument for practicing. Reminds me of why I stopped practicing the violin due to the need to open the case, take out the violin, put on rosin, put on shoulder rest, tune the strings, set up music stand, etc. The instrument with least barrier and inertia to start practicing would probably be the piano. You just sit down, open the keyboard cover and you are ready to go. And no need to carry a piano around like the cello.
I use to play the cello in middle school, wish I stuck with it!
*Violaist playing*
Person:nice violin!
Violaist: *eternaly screaming*
Some cello in class: SWITCH BACK
Violaist:NEVER
Old violaist who is now a bass: *grabs viola and breaks it*
*violins laughing*
Hate when all of this happens to me to.
I love this! I feel like the first 10 minutes of my lesson every week is just getting everything set up!
walking down the stairs with a cello is never a problem for me lol, but up the stairs, oh my god yes lolol
Omg I sooo understand! I play cello and sometimes it gets a little frustrating playing one and doin* all the stuff. I agree! Love you! 💗
There was one time I had to climb up the stairs for a school talent show audition and I carried my cello, pitting all my effort into step by step till I died...
I hate it when people say "WOA NICE GUITAR" when im carrying my cello to a school performance.
omg the adjusting endpin best example ever!
One day, there have a old gentleman look at my cello and said: what a big violin!
Hair stuck one, really got me a lot
I have never related more to a video in my LIFE !
i remember once i walked out of the orchestra room at school woth my violin case and someone from band who clearly saw me walk out of the ORCHESTRA room said "Is that a trumpet"
I play the cello lol i thought the hair getting caught on the pegs was just me! Why is this so relatable😂
So freaking relatable
I could imagine a cellist having more trouble but I can relate to some of this because I play bassoon. heh so much fun to carry around.
Lol the Elgar concerto for the intro 😂
niceee. Elgar concerto in beginning. a classic
OMG Yes I can seriously relate to every single one of those problems, especially the endpin slipping- that happens ALL THE TIME AND IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!
I was at a talent show at a state fair and a guy walked up to me and was like..”that’s a might fine flute you got there”
this is literally me every single day
I love when my cello shrinks
Take these problems, multiply it by three, and that's bass problems.
OMG adjust then end pin is soooo relatable and then it slipping 😂
Cellist: walking in public with cello in case
Random Person: Ooo You play the guitar
Cellist’s emotions: 😫😡☹️
Its so hard to move around in orchestra because there is a lot of people and I don't want them to hit my cello
Stairs: when they ask you how ur doing and u just gotta say ur fine and u can't go into it cuz they wouldn't understand
The carrying gets even worse if you're a bassist. 😂 Today I'm thankful I'm a violinist.
Ohhh I cried during Elgars introduction
You forgot: -driving bus with the cello
-When you forgett your rockstop (or however it‘s called)
-It’s raining and you have to hold your umbrella very high, so your cello doesn’t get wet.
-When people ask you if you play the guitar🤦🏽♀️
- Making wholes in the floor
(Sry for my bad english)
