    As someone who started violin two months ago, funny how I find this both terrifying and motivating. I thought surely there would be no way we’d have to worry about complex chords since you can’t really play two strings at once. Apparently not.
    I also feel less crazy for the days where I play an entire piece and scratch the A string the entire time. Why wasn’t that a thing yesterday?? It’s clear I’ve chosen a very complicated hobby to start at age 40 but I suppose that will keep it interesting. 😂

    Cellos and basses are one of the most respected orchestra instrument players in my school because of the fact that the instrument is significantly bigger than a violin and a viola. Especially basses because you have to stand up in order to play the bass. No surprise the cellos and basses are amazing at their jobs.

    • @T4zchi
      @T4zchi Рік тому +7

      Bass is the hardest, then Viola, then Cello, then Violin. In general, a bigger instrument will be harder to play, so Cello and Bass players have to play an entirely different way from Violin and Viola players. Imagine playing a Cello on your shoulder.

      I play both piano and violin. Neither are easy or difficult in my opinion. But yes, Liszt's music is very difficult to master. Especially Hungarian Rhaspody. Ive never played Rachmaninoff but I have listened to music and it sounds like its difficult lol. In my opinion the harp is the most difficult instrument to play

And is it a good idea to start practicing with violin as soon as possible when you want to (like in school what I’m saying is should I start the orchestra classes when I want to learn).

      Well, it is kinda hard to start, but once you get the basics you'll get exponentially better if you practice. Let's say about 1-4 hours? I do about 2-4. Memorizing the notes are not that hard as long as you practice since the muscle memory will soon set in while you practice. It isn't that hard to play as long as you don't throw something WAY off your level. Also, by cut, sometimes my hands get a bit uhhh... sore after playing the violin for more than 2 hours straight. And yes, it is a good idea to start practicing as soon as possible when you WANT TO. Remember, practice if you want to, forcing yourself will not help you as much as playing the violin with that want.

      No, no, the stringed instruments are more expensive.

And lots of space and time for rehearsing. Expensive. AND 2 people can share 1 piano for a 4 hands piece. Imagine the orchestra equivalent.

      Yes, for 5 to 10 violin it's more expensive, but here they were talking about *one* violin, and for a beginner violin that does not sound like a viola you need to spend at least 500$ I'd say.
      For a piano, it's at least 1500$ and if you buy one at this price it will sound like if you buy a 200$ violin.

Just getting the right tone, bowing, spacing on the fret board, octaves, chords, left hand pizzicato, the insane amount of techniques for the instrument! so hard to do! 😂😂😂 Piano, on the other hand, is easy to start, the most common percussion instrument introduced to everyone! very geometric in layout, but it is also --- hard as f+ to master. With clean pedaling, octaves, tenths, thirds! (ugh!) coordinating two hands and sometimes different rhythms (two against three, three against four, etc), voicings. Piano is its own beast, too. Fun video. You guys always make me LOL. I wonder what is the equivalent of you guys for the piano. 😅

      I started learning the violin 3 weeks ago and it hurts how true this is so far lol. I basically kill my arms for 2 hours a day as my wooden box produces the mating cry of a dying walrus.
      ...But screw it, I have no plans to stop anytime soon.

      Organs = expensive cause of cost involved un produce it.

      Organs = Not brought to every performance
      Violins = Must be carried with you
      Conclusion? It doesn’t cost you to get a good organ. The good organ is just there.
