Theres this dude called San the violin dude and he has a pretty solid understanding in Roman Kim's technique. (At least better than most people) He also played Roman Kim's Beethoven 5th symphony on solo violin. You can check him out.
Just missed it live. Dang. Anywho, if you believe the rumors about Paganini, the violinist likely needs help from a lower power rather than a higher power.
I think a better idea is play the Paganini Caprices FIRST properly before attempting this God Save The King piece. Because it is more difficult and uses all the techniques of the caprices in one virtuosic piece. I think you did a much better job than I could do, and most people watching if they play the violin. But I will say that I wouldn’t attempt to film myself doing it let alone share it on TH-cam lol! You are “brave” 😅 Best comment = “sacrifice your teeth” !!! 😂 (I am not sure you played even ONE NOTE correctly lol! Or is that too harsh lol! Enjoyed your video anyway and RESPECT to you for sharing this lol! We loved it!) Towards the middle I found myself rolling around laughing but not for the name reason as in the Ning Feng video. I have met him in real life…he is a God on the violin! Towards the end I found myself holding my head saying “please make it stop!” 😮😮😮
25:33 "Have you guys seen performers do it with pizz?" - YES! Just like you said earlier about Ning Feng - some notes are arco in between the left hand pizz, so the G A and B ascending are arco and then descending it's left-hand pizz with the occasional bow touch.
It's nightmare-inducingly difficult, yes. it is the epitome of "NooooOO!! TOO many notes!" Thank you for sharing your pain with us. I wish I'd been awake for hte livestream, but can still appreciate watching it later.
Popping blisters reminds me of my high school gymnastics days. They'd tear while we were on the bars and as our coach was a mad Austrian, we'd have to continue through the pain. I can imagine the horror of LH-pizz with a busted blister.
i played this piece before and my first step after playing this piece is trying to get the skin on my fingers to get thicker. You will not be able to play the pizzs accurately and in tempo if you do not have the thicken skins due to the immense pain and your delicate skin will not be able to exert enough plucking force onto the string for it to sound. Just focus on the first variation at the first week of practising this piece, it will give you the thickening effect you want. also, the second variation is easier in comparison and require minimal practice if you play scale every day. you would want to practice shifting on the third variation since i remember there are 11 ths there with tremolos. for the fourth one, the pizz one, just get those thickened skin before you try pizzing, before that, just practice it by playing all the notes without pizzing, trying to get all the notes correct. for the fifth variation, i recomend practicing each shift between those double harmonics and double notes, so you can maximise accuracy. finally as for the last one, playing all those splitted chords into one chord will help your hand to adapt to those ridculous positions and help you find the chord as fast as possible to get rid of any mistakes. yep, for any people who want to attempt god save the king, best wishes, and let god save you first.
This was really gooooooood! Can you make video attempting Roman Kim's Beethoven 5th sonata or Eine kleine Nachtmusik from him? Thanks for interesting video about Roman Kim. That was the best. ❤😊🎉😁
Hey Mr. ViolinMechnic (sorry, I don't know your name). Great job first of all!! I actually wanted to know though (because I'm a luthier and violin/bow dealer) - what violin and bow are you playing on? [If you don't mind me asking]. Thanks, from Liam in Australia :)
@@ViolinMechanic it's an alternate ending written above the normal one, at least in the peters edition. they're actually pretty nice to play (as in they aren't the hardest double harmonics in the world) so it's kind of a good bang-for-your buck flex to learn them lol
@@sergeirachmaninoff7805 oh interesting! I didn’t see it in my edition! I wonder if it’s Paganini’s original manuscript doesn’t contain them, cool optional ending tho!
The fact he sight read this piece as well as he did is incredible, great job dude I loved this stream!
Glad you enjoyed it!

NOOO I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THE LIVE😭😭😭
LET'S GOOOO REGARDLESS!!!!
Amazing playing!👍👍👍
This is more than impressive, I don’t think I could even play a single bar
Just missed it live. Dang. Anywho, if you believe the rumors about Paganini, the violinist likely needs help from a lower power rather than a higher power.
Also, unrelated, my contract says I have to say "hail Satan" once a day to keep the strings singing, so hail Satan. 🤘🎻🎶
Ah dang! It’s alright! Glad you could still enjoy the video:)
I really enjoyed it. I look forward to your next stream. Have a terrific weekend!
Have an awesome Saturday! Thanks for joining the stream:)
This reminded me that ViolinMechanic is actually a professional player and not some random guy trying to get views
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed this stream
Thank you for the stream. It was entertaining and also very impressive.
Thank you so much for joining
Wow! I am so impressed of how you can do pizzicato and the playing of chords at the same time! Nice Job! ❤❤👍👍
And by the way I am a little bit sad of missing the stream, I have just woke up
Thanks haha it was painful lol :) thanks for tuning in

Thanks for watching! As I mentioned in the stream, each variation calls to a different caprice. This piece is the final boss of Violin Repertoire
25:33 "Have you guys seen performers do it with pizz?" - YES! Just like you said earlier about Ning Feng - some notes are arco in between the left hand pizz, so the G A and B ascending are arco and then descending it's left-hand pizz with the occasional bow touch.
(G A and B ascending [sometimes ricochet before performing left-hand pizz] : I'm talking about the last bar of playing in page 5).
Actually, from what I've heard, there is a "25th" caprice, it's called the ferwell caprice
Caprice d'Adieu, posthumous work.
@@SisselOnline I really found a lot of interesting obscure works from you, thank you a lot
@@mendicus3601 wwww thanks for your thank~

"My pinky is generally pretty hard"
This is quite legendary

Been waiting for this! HOW?!?!?!?!?!?!
This is so cool I hope I’m good enough to play this one day. Also your hands can stretch like crazy I have big hands and I can’t do that 😨

Woahhhhm this is sooo coollll!!!!❤
YOU set the bar of 500 likes! Hahah :P Did you mean to say in that last video: "once I hit 500 more subscribers" perhaps? Haha.
you are great
This was really gooooooood! Can you make video attempting Roman Kim's Beethoven 5th sonata or Eine kleine Nachtmusik from him?
Thanks for interesting video about Roman Kim. That was the best. ❤😊🎉😁
I thought he would've played caprice 20 for 20k subs
You da Greatest
Wow I missed it, was watching a cycling race with my dad😅
Haha ah no! Hope you enjoyed the race:)
Nice 👌
if you practice for 2 months i think you can make it playable
thats really fast for sightreading lmao
Right? Maybe a sneak peak was needed to have the courage to do it live. Lol. Even so, quite impressive.

Keep cooking folk
Roman Kim collab!!!
:)
🎉🎉
👏👏👏👏
Thank you again for the super chat! It was so kind of you! You’ve truly supported me from the beginning:)
@@ViolinMechanic happy to be here! If I were richer you would have gotten more :)
Awn you’re really kind!!
I got the 300th like
What do you think you'll do with him Roman?
This is the main reason I don't want to learn classical pieces. Too much
there are double harmonics in the 9th caprice.
Where?

the mic quality is idk
Maybe it’s TH-cam quality, usually it’s pretty good… I want to try the same thing with twitch next time, perhaps it will be better.
OMG Hi Violin Mechanic!!!@@ViolinMechanic
That's not sightreading since you definitely know the piece and maybe even already played a few bars ;)
Haha I did practice the theme a bit. But that’s all I did. I listened to this piece over 50 times by now so I know it’s layout pretty well.
