*tunes violin*
Can I have a D major chord?
*tunes to D major*
A D minor chord?
*tunes to D minor*
*still tuning*
Um...
Can you swell? Just...like how I play it?
You know we're supposed to imitate each other so...
Kinda like that.
Uh...like...
Yeah!
Yeah! That's more like it, yeah.
Oh hey! Hey hey, come meet my accompanist!
He's a great accompanist, he can play all the notes.
He can really follow you as well.
*coughs* Pianist.
Um, can we have more eye contact?
I just feel like there's no connection.
Let's try again.
Oh, I just realised that I still need to fit in
20 minutes of repertoire for my programme.
So I've decided I want to play the 3rd Sonata by Brahms.
It's in 3 days.
You want me to learn the Sonata in 3—
The Brahms sonata in 3 days?
Yeah, standard repertoire.
The piano part is really easy as well.
I mean, you're an accompanist.
You should be able to play everything.
P L A Y E V E R Y T H I N G
Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late.
I was just...caught up in traffic.
I've been sitting here for 45 minutes...
Yeah I'm so sorry. There was just a huge traffic accident.
You know, I can't do anything about it.
But anyway um...
And also um—
Actually here, I want to play the Beethoven 7th Sonata, but...
I'm so sorry that I forgot to give it to you 2 weeks ago.
I was just really busy and—
I thought we want—we were gonna play Saint-Saens.
Yeah but I just decided to change—
I totally forgot to give it to you earlier.
But, you know, you've played it before,
so it should be fine, right?
Okay, which one are you gonna play?
Number 7.5.
Let's run it up to tempo, yeah?
Oh yeah, can you come to my lesson?
And can we do rehearsals tomorrow,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,
and my lesson's on Saturday.
I think that'll be really, really, really good.
So we can really...synergise...playing together.
Uh...I have my own solo repertoire.
But this is solo repertoire! It's a sonata!
It's for—sonata for piano and violin.
*plays out of tune*
Sorry...
Is the piano out of tune?
- Uh... - It sounds a bit funny.
They tuned it yesterday.
Hmm. I think they need to tune it again.
You know, they say you gotta tune it like at least
once to twice, three times a week before it stabilises.
That's what I heard anyway.
Okay...
Hey! I just got a really new exciting programme!
It's Sarasate,
Wieniawski, and...
Carmen Fantasy!
You know?!
Sorry, I think it's still too loud,
can we put the lid down even more?
Um...
In a big hall, it's gonna sound weird with the lid fully down.
Maybe you can just try to play out a bit more.
Like, play a bit louder.
*sigh*
Not everyone has a Stradivari.
And this is the loudest my instrument can play.
It's a...Kachikawawa made in 2012.
It's...it's still too loud.
Can you...just play piano on the piano?
Can you just play in tune on the violin?
You have to follow me! You gotta stop lagging behind.
But you're rushing.
It's music. Plus, you're the accompanist.
Let's try again.
*sigh*
Can we do that again?
Um...yeah, same tempo.
Okay, okay.
So, Mendelssohn. How fast—how fast are you taking it?
Uh...like this.
Ah, I got it, Okay, okay, cool. Sure.
Oh, thank you so much. Um...
I don't need to pay, right?
It's good experience for you as well.
Uh...well I actually spent a lot of time in this, so...
Yeah, me too, so.. it's a collaboration, right?
We're working together,
so it's really good experience for both of us.
But you're getting credit for this!
Uh...nope.
