The person who made this video has a really good sense of humor. They tried to tell you to play along with a Paganini piece. They even put in sheet music to make it seem convincing!
I love how she just walks on stage, adjusts her chin rest for like half a second and then immediately starts playing. No one last moment concentration or deep breathing or even physical preparation, just already being in the zone and starting the music like it is the easiest piece in the world. And THEN executing it so masterfully. How on earth.
Not to undermine the absolute glory of this song, or the masterful execution, but i think the audience just wanted to be sure the song was finished before they started applauding 😅
@@blueshoxx.yeah shut up we all know that, the dude was right just let the guy be right about what hes saying instead of being so annoying. he can call it whatever he wants.
The words ‘Paganini’ and ‘play along’ do not belong in the same sentence! Edit: wow this has blown up! Thanks for all the likes and comments everyone XD
I actually heard this years ago and I had goosebumps. But i never remembered her name (only remembered 'epic violinist in a purple dress'). When i saw her on TwoSet, i thought she looked really familiar then searched for this again on YT. I cant tell you how mindblown i was to find out that it was in fact Hilary Hahn who played this. Im not a classical musician but man, to give goosebumps to an unpracticed ear is living proof that she is so skilled at her instrument.
Well good ear, because that is what Yngwie Malmsteen thought as well. This piece was one of the first influences for his neoclassical guitar style of sweeps and violin arpeggios on guitar.
I have no idea about music sheets and such. I just appreciate these kinds of music. I wonder if you don't mind pointing at what time exactly did that pinky vibrato happened. Thanks. Just curious.
I specifically love Hillary Hahn's interpretation of the first variation for some reason. I've never heard that part played in such a clean, beautiful, and satisfying way before. It's the way she can play those high notes without so much as a squeak. Amazing.
"I bought the whole violin, I will use the entire violin." -Nicolo Paganini "Ho comprato l'intero violino, userò l'intero violino." -Nicolo Paganini, but in Italian
yea this piece is considered one of the most difficult violin pieces ever written, id would consider it third place for difficulty, just behind Elkronig and God Save The King.
@@dungeoncat5238 not even close to third place in difficulty lol, at the same concert Hillary played Pagininiana and last rose of summer both pieces more difficult than 24. Theres 3 or 4 other caprices more difficult than 24 too.
@@dungeoncat5238 pag caps 4 and 8 are harder, the middle variations in 12, most of the ernst etudes like your erlkonig or last rose etc. But those difficulties are sorta artificial. You'll get the same difficulty taking any piano sheet music and playing it on the violin. On the other hand, 24 is a gold standard. It might not be the hardest, but it's widely accepted to be the song you bust out after class, by the storage racks, to flex on the clown who chair tested behind you and let him know not to waste his time with a seat challenge, but more importantly, not to waste your time because you have tests to study for and video games to play.
How incredible is it that we live in an age where any violinist could take a measly 30 seconds of their time and literally have Paganini's, a most-revered musician and secretive person, sheet music right in their hands instantly. In most other time periods it would've been virtually impossible to get the sheet music for something like this, let alone having a lot of people who were able to play it anyway. If there is one good thing about the internet, it's that we musicians have a ton of access to anything we could ever desire to play. That is a relatively new concept, and I imagine that the ubiquitous exposure to this music for all modern day musicians will only be able to take it higher than the generation before it, and higher than any generation that has preceded them. Cool stuff. In terms of musical talent on instruments in general, we are seriously a whole lot better at our instruments than anyone in Paganini's day was (except for the man himself; but what do you expect? he made a deal with the devil to get where he got lol) just because of the roads that people like Paganini have paved for us. Such an important figure.

I remember Brett everytime I see a left hand Pizz. 😁 She made caprice look so easy that someone like me might actually think it's easy which I know is not. Yep, she's awesome. 😍😍😍
Comparison is killer. In a world where we can see what’s going on everywhere in the world. We might compare ourselves to others. But realize this that everyone is unique in their own way. Your violin playing may not be as “good” as her. But your violin playing is you trying your best at sth. We always aim to be like someone else. Why not aim to be ourself? You wanna be Hillary Hahn? Instead of being Hillary why don’t you be you. Your own genuine you
Hilary Hahn really has the whole package: stunning vibrato, perfect bow control, beautiful tone, and she plays all of it so effortlessly like it's nothing. Man, I want it all.
Pianist myself. Heard her play it before. Always absolutely loved her violin playing. Only after seeing many episodes of twoset have I really begun to appreciate violin. Got into a bit of Paganini. Really love this piece. I know it's hard, but I've never seen the music or seen it played. This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen! And it was effortless. She makes it look so easy!
Absolutely breathtaking. Not only are the notes so clear and precise, but it sounds beautiful and the phrasing is exquisite. She’s also a super cool person. Thanks twosetviolin for having her!
Ling ling workout be like: Play this at x4 speed While going to a kpop concert While studying chemistry While eating rice While being blindfolded While doing backflips constantly Lol jk that was just his warm up
The octave variation was so perfect it actually made me cry. so many interpretations and 're-inventions' of this piece but this performance stands out as the gold standard for absolute perfection.
and she does it wearing heels…..balancing on one foot…….with a hula hoop…..and the violin upside down……in the wrong hand she is just that good. I can’t believe that I could hear everyone of those tiny grace notes
Demon: "Only me and Paganini can PLAY it ALONG". * Hahn enters the chat * Demon: "... OK, today our topic is video games... yes, video games... NO, we are NOT talking about Caprice 24..."
Why is she literally a god 😧 another really good performance of hers that I have been watching nonstop since it come out (literally 3 days after it came out) is her playing Sibelius with the French orchestra 😵it’s so frickin good!!!
Cameron Zorlu And she SMILES! She’s so relaxed, she smiles at the director, she smiles at the orchestra, she smiles at the audience. “Aren’t we having a wonderful time here today.” She’s one of a kind.
Also she started at 4 (which is a little late for some Asian prodigies these days) studied Suzuki method for years and went to get her degree and debuted in the us and internationally by 11
I am sincerely moved to tears -- right now -- by this exceptional performance. I think it's in the way that the deepest musical expression is contained and sometimes released within a transcendental controlled mastery of the music and the instrument. Hilary, really; glad you exist. Thankyou for this.
Thank you - this helps a lot. this piece goes by so fast the music allows me to see what is going on, and I can now say with confidence, that I will never even try to play like this.
While watching this, my non-musician brain was supplying the annoying audience applause between movements that I'm used to hearing during any mainstream musical performance I think this may be the mildest case of ptsd in history
0:15 oh well that doesn't seems too difficult- 0:33 I- 0:50 uh no.... 1:06 no 1:32 just no... 1:39 Wh- 2:18 i am deceased. 3:07 *Quits violin* 3:54 *yeets myself out the window*
4:20 to to four twenty one really stands out to me. each individual note is so clean and the timing, it sounds almost like a synthesizer or something. incredible
Thank you Hilary!!! This melody is so fantastic, i'ts a amazing sound!!! I'm 55 years old and will learn this Caprice 24. I've begun learn music-notes and playing violin,. now for 5 Months .I hope so we'll, i can learn this beautifully melody on my violin in the next 7 or 10 years!!! And here's my answer for you Hilary; 12 Points from Germany ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm practicing the guitar version of Caprice 24. Hilary played it really well and i can observe the 40 hours of practice every variation. Thank you for making this video, I'll go back to this from time to time so that i can learn the proper tempo.
craitn Liszt’s later works are definitely more musical than his virtuosic earlier ones, but yeah, there’s a lot of composers that have composed stuff harder than Liszt. You can’t deny that he’s an amazing composer though.
The finale of the last movement is so quintessentially Hilary! So accurate, expressive and powerful! And the build up to, and her ff on the last chord is so typically her: HULK GO SMASH!!! Seriously, I always let out a roar after that last chord from her!
Use a lot of pressure, but you technically can’t play all three at once. Just double stop from the bottom and middle note to middle and top really quick.
If you press hard enough, the middle string will form a straight line with the 2 adjacent to it. It's hard to pull off in this way without sounding like a screaming horse, but it can be done.
I just learned more about reading music from this performance than every music lesson I bothered to turn up to in school. And it was played perfectly. Truly, music is our greatest art
2:23 I know there are more technically impressive variations in this performance but the way this double-stop phrase resolves to the same note is beautiful
FOURTH FINGER DOUBLE STOP LEFT HAND PIZZICATO. My GOD! Hahn makes it seem like everyday playing. She plays this passage as good as Heifitz ever did, and he is considered the greatest musician of all time (GOAT).
You know what? I realised that I've never listened to the whole thing before. And now I'm here... five minutes later with my face melted off like I've just listened to Master Exploder.
This masterpiece she plays with breathtaking skill and wonderful attire impresses me and makes me feel comfortable Not worth listening to without emotion and comfort There is something extraordinary in her exquisite performance From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Eu não costumava estudar muito violino, andava sempre desanimado e quando estudava era pouco, mas depois q vi Hillary tocando está peça ela me deu forças para voltar a praticar, muito obrigado por me mostrar o quanto violino pode ser incrível

@@sheeb2855 people can play open A too. It's just that some violinists choose to play A but on D string.
Angilia Zheng It literally says 4 over the A xD I have the music
While watching this, my non-musician brain was supplying the annoying audience applause between movements that I'm used to hearing during any mainstream musical performance
I think this may be the mildest case of ptsd in history
It was so helpful slowing down the video for fingerings while still having the music on the screen! Her fingerings make so much sense!
Glad it was helpful!
I never touched a violin and even I understand how flawless it is
But does she practise 40 hours a day?
Yes she does

4:20 to to four twenty one really stands out to me. each individual note is so clean and the timing, it sounds almost like a synthesizer or something. incredible
Thank you Hilary!!!
This melody is so fantastic, i'ts a amazing sound!!!
I'm 55 years old and will learn this Caprice 24. I've begun learn music-notes and playing violin,. now for 5 Months .I hope so we'll, i can learn this beautifully melody on my violin in the next 7 or 10 years!!!
And here's my answer for you Hilary;
12 Points from Germany ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wanna hear a joke ?
Read the end of the title
I actually did it no thx
Sounds like someone needs to practice.
Dads pieces are perfectly easy to play along to
@@purgemerlin123 hmm i have a question why do you have like fifty channels? hmm and why are you even on youtube when you should be practice? hmm......
@@allegrovivace6806 I have shadow clone
Amazing playing. And amazing work Virtual sheet music, for the wonderful editing
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
3:08 just the most insane part
And after the rest is just crazy how she gets her fingers to move like that
I'm practicing the guitar version of Caprice 24.
Hilary played it really well and i can observe the 40 hours of practice every variation. Thank you for making this video, I'll go back to this from time to time so that i can learn the proper tempo.
You are most welcome!
ah. a fellow two setter :)
Liszt is entering the chat...
craitn Liszt’s later works are definitely more musical than his virtuosic earlier ones, but yeah, there’s a lot of composers that have composed stuff harder than Liszt.
You can’t deny that he’s an amazing composer though.
Fantasie impromptu by Chopin is hard af too
@@paeffill9428 I would like to know who those composers are and whether their pieces are intended to be playable or not
I have.
@@owencaleblau1644 chopin studies are harder imo
I like how two set has taken over all of TH-cam’s music comment sections
I can play along IN 25% OF THE SPEED.
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.
Alex simply piano?
L Only 2 set fans will understand. But I’m sorry to say that you disappointed a lot of people
Gang Cheng I know that was the joke
Her body movement almost looks animated or unreal it’s so precise. Beautiful.
The finale of the last movement is so quintessentially Hilary! So accurate, expressive and powerful! And the build up to, and her ff on the last chord is so typically her: HULK GO SMASH!!!
Seriously, I always let out a roar after that last chord from her!
Im really courious how she do 3 strings at a time HAHAHA
Edit:also the 4 string note
Use a lot of pressure, but you technically can’t play all three at once. Just double stop from the bottom and middle note to middle and top really quick.
@@lordzorg2498 oh i get it thanks LOL
If you press hard enough, the middle string will form a straight line with the 2 adjacent to it. It's hard to pull off in this way without sounding like a screaming horse, but it can be done.
as a musician myself, for a four notes together, you play two notes and then the other two notes.
Use a lot of pressure and it will go on3 strings
3:00 Her voicing here is just unbelievable.
THE CHORDS, THE LEFT HAND PIZZ WHILE STILL DOING ARCO, THE OCTAVES, TONE, INTONATION, EVERYTHING WAS FUCKIN FLAWLESS HOW TF
She and Nicolo’s pieces are phenomenal.
The memorization is amazing to me let alone the playing.
I just learned more about reading music from this performance than every music lesson I bothered to turn up to in school. And it was played perfectly. Truly, music is our greatest art
That's great to know!
2:23 I know there are more technically impressive variations in this performance but the way this double-stop phrase resolves to the same note is beautiful
I can imagine Brett And Eddy trying to criticize her but they can’t because they have nothing to criticize her about. 🔥❤️😂
I have Covid right now, and yet I think I just held my breath for 5 mins straight
She is at Sydney Opera House in July. Sydney Symphony Orchestra with Simone Young. Can’t wait. Might see Brett.
FOURTH FINGER DOUBLE STOP LEFT HAND PIZZICATO. My GOD! Hahn makes it seem like everyday playing. She plays this passage as good as Heifitz ever did, and he is considered the greatest musician of all time (GOAT).
You know what? I realised that I've never listened to the whole thing before. And now I'm here... five minutes later with my face melted off like I've just listened to Master Exploder.
phenomenal. ....both the composer and the player. Bravo!!!
This masterpiece she plays with breathtaking skill and wonderful attire impresses me and makes me feel comfortable
Not worth listening to without emotion and comfort
There is something extraordinary in her exquisite performance

Amazing!👍👍👍This is my favourite interpretation of this piece!
Eu não costumava estudar muito violino, andava sempre desanimado e quando estudava era pouco, mas depois q vi Hillary tocando está peça ela me deu forças para voltar a praticar, muito obrigado por me mostrar o quanto violino pode ser incrível
Gracias por enriquecer el video con tu aporte.
That last chord...so much sound and resonance
They really said ‘Play Along’
Jeez, she sliced through this like it was butter! Beautiful.
This is Hilary Hahn, brilliant, say no more.
My God!! I was almost blown out of my chair by that display of virtuosity!!
Has got to be one of the best versions out there.
WOW the way she uses her third finger for the octaves is genius
