Oh hey, didn't see you there.
- Oh yeah. - I was too busy practicing.
Yeah, yeah, me too. I just was listening to Eddy practice.
Well, while you're here joining us.
As you all know, I tried to attempt
one of the hardest pieces by Paganini.
We pledged to learn it
after listening to the
winner of the Menuhin competition, Ziyu He.
By the way...
I mean, this is an unofficial announcement...
Menuhin...
Kind of...
Maybe invited us...
We need to balance it out.
Too much talent in one area.
Let's get two more people with no...
Talent.
But anyways...
So we were looking up this piece...
Nel cor papapa sento.
Look who it is!
The 7-year-old girl that we reacted to like a month ago.
- The bowing! - The use of the bow!
...Is now playing it at the age of 10!
When we finished high school...
She was just born.
Why is she playing this at 10?
Even Ziyu was 16.
I know.
It's getting younger and younger these days.
While we are just getting older and older.
Anyway, let's listen.
Harmonics are more...
Brighter than my future.
So bright and clear.
Can I just say like her tone has
matured so much in three years.
- Compared to the older video. - It's fu -
It's fuller now.
Fuller, more resonant.
- She's doing something with the sound now. - Yeah.
Oh!
- Dude, I can't even do that. - Ba ba bakababom!
When was the first left hand pizz you did in your life?
- Probably like 17. - Same.
I reckon in fifteen when you were
a bit ambitious but you just gave up.
- Yeah. - Your teacher was like...
"Sit back down."
- "You're not learning this piece yet." - No, no.
The left hand pizz at 15 is like...
Open string ones.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Or like just 1-4.
Not like...
Oh man...
Here we go.
Oh my god.
Bro!
- Do you know how hard that is? - Dude, she's hitting those notes like...
Yeah.
Cause you got to...
Time the bowing and shifting at the same.
Da da da da da~ She gets the notes.
Alright, this is just the beginning, let's keep seeing.
- She seems really calm as well. - Yeah.
Her playing sounds really calm.
She already sounds better than me when I did it.
And I wasn't even on stage.
She sounds better than any future that I have.
That was a lot faster than mine, hey.
- There's musicality. - Yeah.
*Imitates playing* Oh my...
I mean I can kind of do it
cause I practiced it for like two whole months.
But I'm 27. She's 10.
Dude, she's improved so much.
Yeah, in three years.
I don't think our videos improved a lot in three years.
We've been making videos longer than
the time it took for her to improve to that?
I know.
What are we doing, bro?
Ha...
By the time this video ends, guys...
We'll officially quit the violin.
- Yeah. - Start the viola and just...
Get a job.
Yeah.
Do you know how hard that is?
The computer's like nah, gotta keep -
You can't stop me yet.
That is so hard.
- That passage. - And the...
Bowing, she's only using like
this much bow and how much sound she is getting out.
That...
Passage.
I hated it because it's so hard to not crunch.
And you gotta remember all your finger patterns.
All the intonation.
That type of thing like...
I have a theory, I think we're just getting old.
Our muscles are not adapting anymore.
I have a theory we don't practice enough.
Yeah.
Oh...
Come on...
If you watch my version I completely faked that.
*Imitates playing*
Yeah, mine's like...
I'm just gonna gliss down.
- I - Disjointed but just get to that note. - Like disjointed.
- That F or whatever. - Yeah.
Oh, here we go...
Bro, the violin - She's ten.
She's playing like a half size violin.
Dude, that phrasing just went
way more connected than mine.
She phrased it.
Dude, I can't do it.
She did that with her left hand pizz.
Bro...
And I do pizzicato. That sh** was so amazing.
The clarity in the speed
- and the motion... The bow is still going. - Her bow is just like... Steady.
Ttt. Tikatikatikatika.
Every semi - Demisemiquaver was so...
Clear.
At 10!
That's the worst bit.
I mean, the most impressive bit.
Ahh!!!
- 10! - So annoying!
I mean, so amazing.
10!
You know what's funny, I think we are gonna see
a lot of this at Menuhin.
Guys, by May...
If you never see us play the violin anymore again...
We just officially resigned.
Okay, just some context...
To some people it may not sound like it's a lot -
What just - You don't know what the hell happened.
Da~ Huh~
That was - That embellishment. That musical phrasing.
It's not what a 10 year old should be doing.
It's too good.
It requires a sense of...
Understanding and maturity to be able to
play with musicality as such...
Even playing Pa -
For it to be so easy technically, they have the
excess capacity to think about musicality.
Yeah, so Paganini must be so -
Within her techniques.
- She can think about it. - Cause I was struggling so hard
just to even hit the notes.
She still has the capacity to then...
- La la la~ - Woa~ Whoo~
Da da da~ It's so light.
Sounds like... It's like a...
Cake.
- Like a light cheese cake. - You know what's funny - I know.
And she's not even moving that much.
She's just...
Nailing it.
Yeah, America's Got Talent.
Learn.
Yeah, this is -
- This is what it should be. - Yeah.
Oh my god. So good.
Can you play tenths and
thirds and sixths at such rapid progression?
Dude, she made it look so easy and like...
It sounds so easy as well.
- The way she plays it. - Ba ba bam.
And when she needs to
she puts a lot more energy into it.
Ba ba bam!
Tenths at 10 years old.
Bro, my first attempt to tenth was like when I was 17.
And it was out of tune.
Urgh...
Can I say how in tune all her chords are?
She went for it.
Dude, she did the harmonics approach.
- Yeah. - I'm sorry.
Da dun~
- She just pulled it really... - Yeah.
She - She's able to sustain the intensity.
Despite it being so ridiculously...
Difficult.
Yeah.
I hate this one.
Holy moly.
Okay, double harmonics.
Have you guys seen our levels of
violin playing techniques?
- Yeah. - I encourage you to watch that
cause double harmonics is like...
Up there. It's the hardest.
Double harmonics is like you just got one shot.
You can't even adjust it.
If you play a wrong note,
you can kind of like vibrate your way out of it.
Wow.
Bam.
Yeah, that one's really hard.
I remember that one.
She still kind of got it.
If you listen to mine, I missed about 50% of these.
Dude, those are like not even tenths, they're like...
Elevenths.
*Laughs*
I remember this bit hurt my hand so much.
It's like wait till you're 11 to do that.
Yeah.
Dude, this is so accurate.
The ricochet...
Dootikatikatika.
Do you know how hard it is to like make it
just speak like that.
She just have that much focus on playing.
It's like God was like...
Making people's talents...
It was meant to be like equal but...
"Oops" and dumped the whole bucket.
He was like...
Everyone just goes in there.
Everyone else is like empty.
Looks like we're gonna have to try, but not make it.
Nah, we're sure - We're sure she worked hard.
Yeah.
It's very clear she's practicing really hard.
Talent alone can't achieve this.
- She must have worked so hard. - She's worked so hard.
- Dude, she bowed so casually. - She's -
- She's like... - She bowed so quick.
It's like, "ain't got time for this, gotta go practice more."
Alright, I'm out.
Wow...
Dude, those harmonics were so fast, it's like...
And dude, to have the energy
to still be so accurate at the end of all that.
Respect.
Guys...
Handing in my resignation.
Please subscribe.
Renshu.
That's what you guys should be doing right now.
Yeah.
See you guys next time.
Actually. There's no next time.
Yeah.
Goodbye.
