Hilary Hahn plays 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' 

This is the best title.

true

Totally

Best comment.

Super underrated

And her clever little alteration at the « twinkle twinkle little star » part, upbbow staccato instead of up bow down bow

@@allyj.3523 IKR THAT TOTALLY BLEW MY MIND OMG

Also playing perfect fifths in tune is way harder than it seems. Hers were P E R F E C T

Is it true that it is easier to play fast rather than slow on the violin?

@@noneother1481 we're blessed to witness her times...

Well I guess if you can play it simply, you can play it sophisticatedly

Sung Nguyen ling ling 40 hrs

Just the purity of this, it's phenomenal

Ehm... the way she plays it is very hard.... there are double stops in very high locations.... it’s very very hard

"Twinkle" is usually the first melody every beginning classroom string orchestra student plays on the violin because of its simple fingering pattern when it is played in the key of D major. D-D-A-A-1-1-A-3-3-2-2-1-1-D all in 1st position. However, playing open strings gives the notes a nasal quality. Hahn shifts her left hand to 3rd position to give all the notes an even timbre and plays it in the key of G, so now the fingering of that same melody is 1-1-1-1-2-2-1-4-4-3-3-2-2-1. Now that all notes are fingered, she plays them with vibrato to give a warm tone. Using the 4th finger (pinkie) requires strength that beginning students have not yet developed. Then her variation shifts the melody an octave higher and then plays double stops by adding the harmonic line with a second finger and bowing across two strings.

Boomer Sorry I had to comment here, seriously, no comment after 10 months.

@@lincolnchan3894 it's actually a song played on the violin. Twinkle (2x) star has lyrics and is a nursery rhyme(?) so ya

@ORCINUS Yeah, I know sorry I forgot to put piece

@ORCINUS Actually, it's both. It has lyrics. You can sing it. Therefore, it IS technically a song.

Sorry but it was already a piece of art

@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa9718 I guess it depends, but I was just trying to say how that’s the first piece every new string player learns, however, I guess you could consider it as the MOTHER PIECE

Lmao

Had us in the first half, ngl.

Ofc she’s not a prodigy. She’s 41. Fucking insane bc of how young she looks. On a technical level she’s up there with Kavakos and Vengerov. She’s approaching the levels of Perlman, Menuhin, Heifetz, and Oistrakh.

@@XYZeNxghtmxre she's 41 now, yes. But she started her university work at 10 and was learning high level repertoire. She had her first international concert at 16 with the Bavarian Radio symphony orchestra. She, for most of her life, was considered a prodigy... Or at least prodigy adjacent 😂

@@XYZeNxghtmxre You probably mean she is no longer a child prodigy. "Prodigy" by itself means that she is an artist of a prodigious talent regardless of her age.

You can't use words willy-nilly, in an impressionistic, ignorant way. The word "prodigy' in music performance denotes someone with a prodigious overall talent, not just technical prowess. You must be a Two Set fanboy.

me too! I've got goosebumps and even tears. wow

Omg same

Davie24 😂

O M G!

EPICO!! (although ... Davie504 is actually a long-time TwoSetter.)

@@ThatBoomerDude56 did you see the violin and bass thing?

@@booprito1-535 Yes. I've been watching both TwoSet and Davie504 for a long time. Davie504 used to have his list of channels he was subscribed to visible on his "Channels" page. And he had TwoSet Violin on there for a very long time before the "Bass/Violin" battle. Also: Before he ever even mentioned violin or TwoSet, he would often drop TwoSet references like saying "practice 40 hours every day" and things like that. Many musicians do that. Davie's bass playing friend Charles Berthoud references TwoSet violin all the time. One of his latest videos was even about "playing the hardest violin solos but doing it on bass."

Tell me you are a twosetter without telling me that you are a twosetter :D

If you have a link to that video I’d love to see it

Twinkle Twinkle is so hard though... Paganini is ez.

Maybe time limit, i think she performed bach and yasaye too

Most classical works are public domain, so cost is not an issue. They decided on a relaxing piece that everyone is familiar with to close out the program.

@@RaymondHng maybe he meant they couldn't afford to pay Hilary to pay something so long and complicated as those pieces haha

@@SkyeHyuuga As if musicians charge by the note.

@@RaymondHng i think you missed the point that this whole thread is a joke bro.

@@RaymondHng actually I went straight into scales, never touched it

@@itzumetric Did you have private lessons as opposed to classroom instruction in string orchestra?

@@RaymondHng yes, I'm learning in the local conservatory

@@itzumetric Then "Twinkle" is textbook material for classroom instruction. For students of band orchestra, their first song of instruction is "Mary Had A Little Lamb".

FOR REAL

Also love your pfp 😊 (even tho I don’t watch anime)

@@izzylay1132 thanks!

Yeah, same with me...
