TwoSet tried to get in, but were told to practice more. I challenged two Curtis students to a Sightreading Duel (where you lose your fingers). As usual, my pride could not allow me to not try my hardest. No prodigies will ever defeat me.

Could you do a challenge of playing piano music with a violin? Like Rachmaninoff s Preludes or Chopin s Etudes?

“Have a Happy New Year!” 🙏🥂🎉 Our New Year doesn’t started until February 10, it will be the year of the “Dragon.” Mom was born on the year of the “Dragon.” A very good sign. She is no longer with us. She passed away this Spring. (She was 94 but had an adventurous life in America.) When we were growing up we used to call her “Dragon Lady.” with a big stick. 🫣 I was born in the year of the Rabbits but not just your regular rabbit but a “Playboy Rabbit.”😱 Take Care, wishing you a blessed “2024.”

I can just imagine some teacher walking around the classrooms and just hears this playing inside and wondering how these people got into Curtis not knowing they are doing a challenge haha

Alexandra, thanks for allowing Ray to make a bit of a fool of you; it was worthwhile because I had never heard of you and I just went to hear your real recordings. I just listened to your rendition of Bach's second violin concerto at age 13 in Poland and can only recommend that other viewers do the same. For sure I will be following your channel from now.

Alex is the absolute best musician and person! Great sportsmanship from both her and Lingyu!

I’m really growing to love your channel, and as an adult violinist learning for a few years and not many friends at all that like classical, its like a little social party for me to watch you do these videos. brings me so much joy! thanks Ray and everyone for watching and subscribing :D

@kxra0624 Год назад

The sad thing is that Ray playing Zigeunerweisen with only 3rd and 4th finger still sounded much better than me trying to play it with all my fingers 😅

@lattelover5471 9 месяцев назад

Amazing! I am reminded of a story I heard about Itzhak Perlman. At the start of a concert, one of Perlman's violin strings broke. The concertmaster offered to trade instruments; Perlman declined. He played the whole piece while revising everything he had practiced on the spot! and in front of an audience. Unbelievable.

@Pansy.Hope___ Год назад

It's always fun watching your videos. I love your charisma 💖

@wakingtheworld Год назад

such fun you guys.... and well done. well worse than losing a finger is having no arm! currently in plaster following surgery after a serious fracture to my wrist... hoping i'll be able to continue learning to play my violin in a few weeks time!

@hei7586 10 месяцев назад

I can't imagine how they do even read the notes so quickly, not to speak of playing!

@GuitarraErudita Год назад

I used to make a challenge at the positions, in ma case frets, not positions. U play the piece without touching any note before the determinated fret. So, for instance: if the number is 5 u can use from 5 fret ahead and cant touch 4, 3, 2,1 and 0, this means the end of open string! Not so hard like loose a finger, but its very very very didatical to FORCE u to thing outside fingering even u dont have absolute pitch. And it can be fun AF!!! Try it!!!

@gokceaydin3324 6 месяцев назад

Well, this is by no means a sightreading challange because Ray knows the pieces very well. To create a real sightreading challenge, new pieces should be written. Ray would still be the winner in such case but with not so much difference.
