@@fjaskeh indeed, just like Brett and Eddie sight reading the Caprices. The only time I've felt may be legit sightreading from 2set was Ysaye sonatas- partially because they compared him to Paganini, not Bach (what they actually are inspired by)
Ray: twelve year olds can play it, eight year olds can probably play it aswell, so why shouldn't I be able to play it, right? *Also Ray: I learnt it when I was twelve*
Twelve or eight year olds could maybe play it? You have to start to learn the violin with 3 or 4 years. Very very difficult and demanding piece. high-performance sport. I takes a lot of time to practice and previous knowledge other difficult pieces.
@@HE-MAN1975 well there are kids that play Paganini violin concerto at 7 which is way harder than any caprice so yeah 12 years old could probably play it
Well, he remembers the music from hearing it so much, then he has great sight memory as well, which is why he is able to glance at it once then look away. AND... because he learned it once as a kid. 👈
Ray you're not even looking at the sheet music half the time. This isn't even a practice challenge it's like "can Ray play paganini from memory" incredible
Regardless of perfect pitch or memorisation of pieces or sight reading skills, Ray is the result of tireless practice and accomplished teachers. Its doesn't matter how good he is or how bad you are, if you love playing then it's a good thing. Ray did say something to that effect or close at the beginning but no one seemed to pick up on it.
I don't know about you guys, I play piano and I'm still in grade 4, but you need to read ahead of the sheet. I believe Ray has better than average reading, so he can read the page and memorize it before he stops playing it. Sry English is not my first language
i am not a musician but playing a music piece from childhood can stick out in our memories. in this case ray was able to remember most of them without looking through the music sheet, the way I did then I was trying to memorise a song.
Even if i start playing violin right know and train every day for the next 10 years for 3 hour everyday as hard as i can. I wouldn't be half as goodas he was when he was 12.
It's cool to see that even Ray Chen struggles to learn. Thing is, he struggles getting Paganini right while I struggle getting Twinkle Twinkle Litlle Star on a fretted instrument.
You probably don't need to live on that or dedicate your whole life to that one thing. People tend to not see the effort, just the benefits. I wish I could play it, I know my life is so much more than just the violin, so I will be patiently learning as much as I can in what amount of time fits my life. You probably didn't have the support network either. But yeah, "12 yo can play it" kind of doesn't make me feel happy
Well, he's a perfectionist and we aren't virtuosos (well, some people on here may be, I don't know). So things that are actually slightly out of tune that we'd never catch, he'll notice.
@@modakshantanu The last variation nor the whole caprice is far from hard on piano Edit. But on the other hand playing caprice 24 on violin is comparable to playing mephisto waltz no. 1 on piano
Dont lie you love to practice!! I see it in the way you eyebrow at hard passages and then smile when you crush it! Ever inspiring. I downloaded tonic today!
It's a weird-kind-of inspiring when I see someone like a soloist playing the raw piece, without mastering and dodgy intonation. Sometimes we students underestimate ourselves thinking we are not as good as someone else, but when we see the "someone else" with imperfections, it feels more closer to us, even if that person is a world class soloist! Great video, Ray! This just proves the amazing violinist and person who you are :) ♡
Ray, I took up violin during the uks many covid lockdowns. I've taught myself and watched UA-cam tutorials. Thankyou for this video. You seem such a nice guy and so extremely talented. I cant imagine the hours it's taken to get to your level. I'm trying to master 3rd position atm and doing vibrato exercises. Your skill boggles my mind.
I am a violin learner from Brazil and see Ray practice,his patience ,how he is looking to solve the difficulties he faced ,gave me a little more hope to continue learning. Congrats Ray!
What’s awe-inspiring to me is this video, to some extent, shows the breadth of romantic music and just how much is out there to work with. I mean think of it, Ray is an accomplished (and with good reason!) premier soloist who has probably hundreds if not thousands of performance credits across there again hundreds or thousands of pieces of music and he is only now revisiting one of the most famous and well-known violin pieces that he hasn’t played in years. One might argue, like Ray said that this is a “rite of passage” piece that every professional violinist might cross in their time performing and yet Ray’s experience is proof positive that there’s not just a book of about 10 or 20 different violin pieces that every symphony knows and plays. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of pieces in just the romantic period and as someone who appreciates a good performance it’s a war of attrition trying to collect and listen to every piece but instead learning to appreciate the musical nuance and personality of each ensemble and their staff who curate a unique and characteristic musical experience. As a player it’s also a war of attrition to try and play every piece because it’s simply not possible. Instead you learn to appreciate and connect with certain composers for again their nuances and how they speak to you. As a performer you bring these to your own ensembles wherever they may be and add to the musical story being told. When the story of the selection, the direction, and the performers is all in tune (pun intended) that’s what makes for a powerful musical performance - not so much just playing what’s on the page to the “t”. I knew the library of romantic music was astoundingly large - but I never had it put into perspective until I watched the first few minutes of the video and heard Ray’s take. Thanks for the new perspective and all you do for the community, Ray!
Ray at 5:19 : "Alright, alright, this are those dreaded octaves I was talking about." Advertisement: "As we go on, everything is going to be harder. As we carry on, everything is going to be extremely tough..."
I learned so much, I'm not a violinist, and I learned so much about approaching a piece! I will apply this to voice lessons. I learned a lot about you. Ray, the virtuoso everyone wants as a bff. Bravo!👐
Thank you so much for posting these practice vids! It is inspiring to watch a top tier soloist practice and breakdown their thought process on pieces. 24 is very flashy but so violinistic and kinda just flows off your fingers, except those darn 10ths.
Thank you for this! Many people see the performance but very few people get to see how much work and practice you have to put in to take the bow. We weren't born playing Paganini! It takes hard work and skill so thank you for showing us a little "behind the scenes" episode.😁👍
This is very interesting in how he shows his thought process in interpreting the music-not just following the notes-and in devising strategies and techniques to achieve these difficult passages. All violinists could learn from this. Even the top performers have to work things out, and it is informative to see how they actually do it.
I love how, he, after practicing for one hour, can play it perfectly. Me on the other hand, practiced for three hours and barely got the first three variations.
That's really helpful that i see how a pro violinist practices .. i used to spend too many time and get not a bright resault but after i watched the first part and this one everything has changed .. i hope you make more of these videos😊 i love Ray
You don't know how much this means to me, especially being a late beginner (resumed violin only in college after a 7-8 year break) and seeing kids half my age slaying it. I need to practice the Bach Double Violin Concerto for a performance next month (not even close in skill level to this one) but seeing that even esteemed professionals like you need to practice, it gives me hope that I'll get there some day, even if I'm 5 years late than my counterparts.
i’ve rewatched all of your practice video so many times because they always inspire me to pick up my violin and practice. so thank so much for these videos!
The moments with double speed somehow made me think about the Sims when you're making your sim practicing faster. Also, I play the piano and I was amazed by the ease you have when you sight read. I need 1 hour to read one sheet and play it correctly... That sure means I need to practice more!
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting to see how you go about learning a piece. The repetition and problem solving is something that beginners like me can use as well.
So informative Ray, thanks for the video, trying to learn the violin and it's so nice to hear the thoughts of a professional on your approach when learning a piece of music.
Thank you so much. Your perspectives in musicality, practice and performing REALLY inspired me. You are so great we love you. Love from China. Plz come often
As someone who only likes to listen to classical music in free time, this is the most difficult piece I've heard. To see a player like you practice it and listen to the thought process is really very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
I am light years away from your techinque and capacity... Yes I am a violist (for real)! But, I've been struggling with some passages of Death and the Maiden and some of the things you said here actually worked for me! Thanks Ray! I love your videos. Keep'em coming please.
