For those who keep asking what the piece I am playing is, it is the beginning of the first movement of the Shostakovich Cello Sonata.
And the first song?
Same with me thoo 😂😂
2:03 My ears: DEAD
Thank youuuu
Sorry but what is the piece you played at 3:01
I play cello and bass and when I walk around with a bass on my back while carrying the cello you wouldn’t imagine the looks I get
Trust me ur not alone i do the same thing
Same😭
I play baritone horn which is kind like a smaller tuba and people stare allot too lol
awww i feel for ya
Jesus
There was a girl at my school who thought my cello was a violin... A VIOLIN
Aaliyah Holmes oh my god wow
Aaliyah Holmes im a bassist and i get told the same thing “omg is that a violin?”
one girl thing that my guitar is celllo!😫
one guy thought my cello was a bass
at least they didn't think it was a viola
my friend who plays double bass always comes to orchestra practice ON HIS BIKE. with his bass strapped to his back. it always looks ridiculous but also kind of dangerous since you always get the feeling he's going to fall over at any moment.
😐😐😐😐
Gotta go fast
what a good balance.....
Damn...
Laura B lOl me too I play the bass but I don’t carry it to and from school luckily I feel bad for him
showing a cello player to my friend.
"is that a guitar?"
oh boy.... A GUITAR?!
Kaylee Rahman it's ridiculous 😂
OMG TRUE!! I was walking downtown and someone said "DO YOU PLAY THE GUITAR??" ..
Some one in my school said VI-O-LA I stead of VE-O-LA
Ikr like all my teachers see me carrying my cello and say "oh so you play guitar?" LIKE DO PEOPLE LEARN DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTERMENTS AND INSTEAD OF STRINGS IT'S JUST GUITAR????
“Is that a bow instrument, or a violin?”
And once I started plucking my cello on the bus and someone said
“SOMEONE’S PLAYING THEIR GUITAR!!”
For Cellists without a rockstop the struggle is real.
They slide so much they should make the bottoms more sticky maybe Idk if that would work tho
For some reason I would always end up with no
rockstop or anything for concerts. I would end up so mad
When I was in fourth grade I didn't have one and we had a concert on tile.... That was fun
@@clarebearpostema57 oh damn😭
True 😂
You forgot doors that are too small
good one!! -J
Or when you have to get out of a car and there's more cars waiting and judging
nah that's mainly for bassists i constantly knock my scroll on the top of door frames when i'm carrying my bass
+gabriella.s I go by train to my lesson every week and I always have to take the cello of when I walk into the train or I would crash
+TheHalfBloodPrincess you are right but honestly do you think people are not staring at a cellist ?
*violinist laughing in the distance*
Iris Valentim legit me rn
Iris Valentim (me)
Same 😂
I was just about to say that, but add violists too.
😭😭😭😭
there was one guy at my school who thought that my cello is accordion
Marta Kekez, wait.... Is it not?
Marta Kekez On the otherhand, people always ask me what is in my accordion case. “Is that a suitcase?”
But like are you sure the cello and accordian aren't the same instrument....? I mean they look and sound the same...
I was in the bus and this one guy thought my cello was a guitar
What the heck? An accordion isn’t even a string instrument!
My personal cello pet peeves:
1. IS THAT A GUITAR???
2. One unprofessional music teacher made me play the DOUBLE BASS because ”OH YOU PLAY THE CELLO IT’S PRACTICALLY THE SAME” um, NO? They have different strings???
3. Getting a melody part in an orchestra or a string group and being like ”guys I have melody here so if you didn’t play the highest notes you can get from a violin so loud thanks?” and nothing improves
4. When there’s a door that’s too short
5. Public transportation is hell
6. One time a drunk guy at a train station came up to me and asked what I played and I responded with cello and he said “I ONCE HAD A CELLO WITH EIGHT STRINGS” and I just, okay time to leave
Free feel to add to the list :)
I was on the subway and this lady was telling me that I was going to be the next Yo Yo Ma
Also when I have my hard case, people think I’m hiding something in it
When music sheets think
Cello=really low
So its just on the c and g string the entire piece
PjandBolt that's so annoying aicjsmmdmc
LucariøTH-cams 36 I know people always say to me, ”Oh you play that low violin thing right? The... Uhmmm... Double Bass, ”🤦🏻♀️ I mean they're technically not wrong because I played Double Bass when I was younger but I have an Instagram account with Cello in the literal name🤦🏻♀️
Being in a bus with cello is annoying. Especially if it's full, then it's a nightmare. You can't sit and everyone pushes you because your so big. You get sweaty and your back gets tired. While standing you think "Why in the fucking hell I didn't chose flute".
Viivo Viivo And then the driver gets mad at you because you have no other form of transportation
Can relate but on Euphonium
What’s worse is a double bass
Me thinking I'm better off just walking 😂😂
I was carrying my cello from the bus stop to my house and a passerby asked if I was carrying a dead body.
*"Dude, have you ever seen a cello before?"*
*"Nope."*
People think my bass is a cello. And sometimes my end pin slips and the pegs stab my head
Jake Cisneros same
Except that I play cello
And sometimes when youre in sitting position you it slips if you lean on it and your fingerboard whacks your face.
rap monster read to me in english yeah, right?
I feel you
But despite all, we love our cellos, no matter how hard it can get!!
YES! Sometimes it can be a little hard to deal with but despite that I love playing!
Yep!
YES. i play rental cellos just for school years (so far i've played for a year) so i have to go go my summers without my cello. i grew an emotional attachment to my cello :(
Oh you cellist have it easy carrying your instrument but us, doublebass, it's another story, I truly hate stairs and violinist that do not move out of the way 😪
Scarlett Weingartshofer i feel you sooooooo much cuz same here
Oh man,yes. Don't you wish to have the powers that come with the ant man suit, I mean it would be easier to carry around the bass even intercontinental flights with out worrying about broken or damaged instruments
wasnt aware that under the "someone had it worse" rule we cant whine
You’re so right, even at school when I’m carrying my bass and I’m trying to pass between people who are in the way they don’t move. They just stand there and stare at you and then you have to repeat it again “EXCUSE ME”.
You haven't struggled till you have to do all of that but as a bass
Earl Alois Trancy exactly
Finally someone understands
Yes! Yes! Thank you! It gets me every time
HECK, HONESTLY THOUGH
Earl Alois Trancy dudeeeee i thought the same thing, i play both cello and bass and those problems are all alot worse with the bass
This one kid at my school thought a cello was a type of bell.
*A bell.*
What an idiot... 😀😅😂
How is that even possible
Imagine "Double bass problems" or "Octabasse problems" haha
Misi Pishi How do you even move an octobass you need like a dozen people
They would probally be the same but more extreme
my favourite thing about this video is that it opened with the elgar concerto
Double bass here ,cellos have it easy 😝
Junior T for real same
Completely agree. I've had a countless amount of people say "That's a nice Cello you have there" or when I describe my instrument they'll say "Why don't you just play the cello?"
Junior T person: is that a violin
Violaist:ITS A VIOLA
*violinists laughing*
*violinist* uhm think about actually playing the instrument!
Dude I feel you, especially with the end pin slipping and the hair oof. Especially taking to set up compared to a violin/viola that takes like 2 minutes. Smh😤😤
SomeguestHere eh shoulder rests are pretty annoying too
Natsume Wu true
I'm both cello and violin and I prefer the setup with a violin all we have to do is gr it out of our case get our bow get shoulder rest put on instrument and done
Song that she is playing is Shostakovich Cello Sonata in D minor, Op.40
Yup, that's right! -J
cellist are lucky their cellos can actually be set down on its side
my violin has to put down on its bottom *shrug*
Christine Niu yeah but then some idiot runs by and knocks it over and it breaks the bridge
People don't trip over your violin just because it was in the way.
Christine Niu try being a viola nobody loves or even knows about them they get the worst parts of all songs to
Cookiez&Milk there was this substitute for orchestra and he tripped over a cello and broke it in half.
Zoe Z I almost had that happen once when my friend was at my house. I was a little pissed inside but I had to act like it was alright. 😂
You missed the one where you have to stand up to reach the music sometimes because the stand is too far away to reach it.
omg you are SO RIGHT!! that is a struggle! -J
I used to be a bass player but switched to cello which has the SAME EXACT PROBLEMS
So once the band kids at my school went into my orchestra classroom for some reason and I swear one pointed st the biggest bass there and called it a guitar before pointing at me with my cello and saying I held the guitar weird
Any violinists just here chilling?
Wilson Mah yep
me
Wilson Mah yep
Always
Wilson Mah yeah
You won’t experience these trains truly until you play bass
I can relate so much to this😂 people always stare at me in the public when I carry my cello on my back as if I had a dead person on my back
This is me but with a bass
Dedrick Cruz same
¿Doble Bass problems?
FINALLY SOMEONE WHOS HAIR GETS STUCK LIKE ME
I have gotten my hair stuck a few times with my violin lol
If it's already hard to carry a cello upstairs... now imagine with a bass
It took me a solid 5 minutes to get my end pin to the right length because I had a different chair 👌🏻
Walking up to a reflective surface and thinking someone is standing right behind you. Scared myself many times like this. Terrifying.
Yes!! The struggle is real. No one moves for cellists. They just don't care. And two way doors, and low ceilings and walkways, and narrow ailes. And then the stage itself...DEATHTRAP! At rehearsals when people try to walk OVER your resting cello. So many,many things. But you love every minute if it. It is truly a labor of love.
Subscribed! Your awesome! You got every one of my struggles in this vid! XD
Hahaha yay!! Glad you enjoyed this and that it was relatable! -Jenna
Aw thanks!!! Appreciate the support! Haha yuppp takes one to know one! ;) -J
Why don't you mark your end pin with a sharpie (if it's black use a metallic one)?
Arabella Tan because a lot of times at concerts where we have all kinds of different chairs or wherever you have to keep adjusting it
That's right!
THIS IS SO ACCURATE, I'M SUBSCRIBING!!! 😂😂😂
*Also I have this problem where I will set up everything and once everything is in place, my sheet music will FALL AND I'LL REACH OUT TO GRAB IT AND I'LL ACCIDENTALLY FELL THE STAND AND AAGAGHAHAHHAHHAH all while holding my cello and bow in hand*
I used to play the cello and I had these problems, now I play the bass and I have even more!
John Doe oh my god literally same
Love your content! Keep it up! :)
Thank you SWProductions!! :) -J
YAYYY I found a cello channel!!!
When your end pin starts slowly sinking and you find yourself crouching over the ground while playing the song...
Love cello music. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Where did you get your case,it is so nice!!
Hi!! My case is from Bam France! It's the Mint Green Bam NewTech model. Hope this helps! -J
At least you can put it on your lap for the end pin unlike the bass
Loved your video keep doing what you love no matter how hard it is to walk up stairs with a cello
I love this! I feel like the first 10 minutes of my lesson every week is just getting everything set up!
WHY IS IT ALL SO TRUE!!!!
I have a very small cello so once a small child said is that a getour
This is the most relatable cello vid I have ever seen
For the rocks stop problem, I really recommend the “Blackhole”! It’s small, light, handy, and the most important feature is that, it NEVER slips! Just make sure that the bottom of the stopper is clean.
What about double bass lol
I can relate to _everything_ on the list. It's funny to see that we all struggle with the same things ^^
I am a beginning violinist, but I absolutely love your channel!
Omg I sooo understand! I play cello and sometimes it gets a little frustrating playing one and doin* all the stuff. I agree! Love you! 💗
Ummm why did you change it this video used to have a bass with it at the stairs when she says “don’t even” so was there a problem with it ( no hate love you)
hahah love u too! i think thats actually from another video by another youtube (??) because we never had a bassist in this video although it would be hilarious if we had that haha thanks for watching! -J
D&J productions oh ok thx I think I got some videos mixed up and I love your videos I have probably watched every one there is
Abby Meyer aw thanks ur so sweet! -J
D&J productions I have a question for you, how long have you played the cello because you are really good at it and i found the video that had the bass in it
Abby Meyer 14 years!
Bass players crying
Real cute presentation. Thanks for shooting and sharing.
i started cello in 4th grade. i was jealous of the violinists who carried their instruments around so easily. i switched to violin in 5th grade. that was 47 years ago. i never regretted the switch.
Thats how i was but I converted from cello to bass 😂
How the hell do you have 50 subs
I meant you need more
you are so sweet!! Thanks for watching guys! :D -J
Nah you're weak af fam. Have you ever tried carrying a full sized cello and *cloth* case by handle only in 100 degree weather for miles just to practice at home? You don't know the true struggle m8
Valentín Alanis Actually this is a full sized cello in a hard case that is much heavier than a cloth case. Also we are walking in 10 degree weather here.
carrying a cello in any weather in any case; Cloth or hard is challenging, let's just agree that this is a big instrument that we love anyway.
Valentín Alanis ok but that seems hard but have you tried doing all that but with a doublebass, cuz thats my struggle
Candice Marchese damn.. rip lol
I could imagine a cellist having more trouble but I can relate to some of this because I play bassoon. heh so much fun to carry around.
This is what I struggle with EVERY DAYYYY! 😂😂
This is completely accurate, but the cello is so worth it
I’m just admiring at how beautiful that case is, like dayum.
hahah glad you liked my case!! -J
"The elevator is out of order" I've heard that too many times. Thank God for escalators when I'm at the mall and busking
I have never related more to a video in my LIFE !
You guys make me think of a two set violin of cellos. Keep it up!
I agree with this video so much. I'm a cello player myself and I can agree highly.
Then again, you could break your violin if you’re running too fast with it, and then if you smash it into a wall accidentally, then it won’t be too good. But with a *cello* , you won’t bump into anything since you have to be slow when you’re walking with it. But that’s just *my* opinion on why having a cello is better, though. (I’m a cello beginner in 6th grade, if you didn’t know.).
I know right, the pin slipping is so annoying when I practice. Plus my hair gets stuck, but it's so worth it, the sound is just so mesmerizing and the sound is beautiful
I love your channel, I'm gonna sub right now!
Nice! I totally have these problems!
Is so relatable it’s unreal.
this made me laugh so much, i relate to everything
I use to play the cello in middle school, wish I stuck with it!
I'm with you girl, with you 100
percent of the way.
So true...
This is my entire orchestra life
The struggle legitimately never ends
Tip for all my cello players~ when taking out your endpin it's good to do a little more than the length of your index finger
i can definitely relate to this good god the struggles :'D ( also thank you for making this )
how do you travel with your cello? i mean do you buy a ticket for your cello or check in the cello?
I relate to this SO much
So true!
This is so true!
There was one time I had to climb up the stairs for a school talent show audition and I carried my cello, pitting all my effort into step by step till I died...
omg the adjusting endpin best example ever!
Pro: you get to make the most beautiful sounds
so true!
The Elgar Cello Concerto at the beginning 😍
Setting up takes me literally 10 minutes, gotta take the cello, bow and rock stop out, gotta get a stand, get the music and set it up, pull out the end pin, tighten the bow, rosin it and finally I'm ready to play
this is literally me every single day
LOL....It takes so much effort and time just to set up the instrument for practicing. Reminds me of why I stopped practicing the violin due to the need to open the case, take out the violin, put on rosin, put on shoulder rest, tune the strings, set up music stand, etc. The instrument with least barrier and inertia to start practicing would probably be the piano. You just sit down, open the keyboard cover and you are ready to go. And no need to carry a piano around like the cello.
How much was your cello? I want to buy a cello and yours sounds amazing
Where's your cello case from? It's colour is gorgeous!
Where did you get your case😍 I'm looking for one right now and I absolutely love yours! Btw I loved your video and I completely agree with all of these! #celloprobsforlife
Hair stuck one, really got me a lot
So true..!
