      ​@@FlixTwix Two clefs as opposed to one for violin, outrageous amounts of notes in certain pieces that take a fair amount of time to process. With practice and experience Level 6 or 7 pieces become really easy to sightread, but something like Chopin's Etudes, Scherzos, or anything by Liszt will take even a professional a bit of time to process.

It's fun and casual and they don't constantly try to show off their skill just for the sake of showing off. This is one of their videos that show the more technical side of playing the violin and I just wanted to show my appreciation for their craft. As someone who doesn't play the violin or any other instrument, it's cool to see all that goes into playing the violin on a professional level and what that exactly means.

I'm sure different singing venues have different criteria, and sometimes the audience doesn't see you, or if you are singing while playing piano it would be easy.

    But now 15 years later I am so much more organised and have so much more patience, I am ready to start up again! (also just watched your reacting to progress videos vid and I'm heckin motivated)

    I played for thirteen years before I stopped practicing regularly (four years of light practice during college), and can play at FRSM. I picked it up again for the first time in seven years, and your videos have instilled a love for the violin I'd long forgotten. Your performances are impressive - technical ability aside, it can be difficult to get such a crisp sound and the passion is clear to see.
