Professional violinist SPEED RUNS ‘Rush E’ on a Stradivarius 🎻 

What else should I learn and play? In the meantime, catch me practicing on Tonic: tonicmusic.app/join-in 🎉 See you in the studio!

Just came back from a Ray Chen concert and the mad man actually debuted Rush E there as an encore 😂 it genuinely was amazing live. His playing is just world class and mind blowing!

I went to Ray's concert on Sunday and I have to say, it was one of the most wonderful and fun concert experiences ever! His Tchaik was just soooo playful and yet sweet, lots of push and pull, especially in the first and third movement and it was simply unbelievable to witness this live! Thank you so much, Ray for sharing this wonderful music! Absolutely adored your performance!!! And what made me cry was actually the encore, Waltzing Mathilda! Thank you so much for putting in fourty hours of practice every day!

I love how expressive his playing is and just how clean the sound is 🤩

1:49 and he actually watching fanchen's 😂 That was an epic boss villain story

WOW, he did the more difficult rendition of it and he nailed it! Well done, Ray!

This is a rush E I have never heard of. This is the best rush E I’ve ever heard of. (And will be) ❤❤ Btw, Tonic is great!!!

Woohoo!! You took my challenge of Rush E! ❤️❤️❤️ I love this so much, and yes it is so catchy 😍 Thank you for being so in touch, & thank you for Tonic. It's lovely having a community of non perfect people working on goals together :)

I literally just watched Ray perform this live in as an encore to Korngold's violin concerto in Toronto! A fantastic performance! Well done, Ray!

it would take me the amount of time Ray's been playing violin for me to learn the intro to Rush E on violin

Duuuude, this rendition is insane! I’m happy to learn that you actually followed through and performed it as an encore 😂

Paganini would be proud! Finally, a piece of music that matches your intensity! 🔥❤⚡️🌟 I loved watching you learn and rock this!

I love the tiny outbursts of joy in the final performance. It made me smile so much.

That is one /hell/ of a flex. Respect.

honestly this was the best violin arrangement I have seen of this piece

I'm just starting playing the violin, and I have spent a total of 20 hours practicing on a weekend. Hoping someday I'll have your level!!

我真的很喜歡您❤👍 雖然我不會拉小拉琴，可是我能看見您對音樂的熱誠，您真的非常棒👍 之前我看您教twosetviolins拉小拉琴，真的非常有心❤還有一段，早上8點起床教他們小拉琴，您真的很好很有心。我是香港人，很可惜不能來到現場來支持您，祝您表演成功🙏。很期待您有機會來香港表演丫😊

I was in Munich and Ludwigsburg. Ray your Tchaikovsky is sensational. All feelings run through. I just can't get enough of your concerts and your emotional expression. Get addicted 🎻🔥❤️

The other versions I've seen of this song are much simpler than the one you brought, ray, impressive!

This would be a GREAT encore piece. Hope to hear it live someday.

This was beautiful. Makes me want to muster up even a quarter of that enthusiasm for literally anything in my life.

World class violinist playing meme music. What a time to be alive.

He's AMAZING! So gifted (and those playing with him are no slouches either!) Excellent!❤

Omg so so so so good!! This is marvellous Ray!

B R A V O !!! So thankful that Ray has blessed we, the masses of musicians, by creating Tonic and making it available worldwide.

That was exhilarating performance, way to go Ray! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Extremely amazing and absolutely professional! I cannot imagine that anyone can do this better! YOU really are 'simply the best' one playing the violin! Great 'job', 'Cocker Spaniel' from Germany. 👍👍👍😉🙋‍♀️

If you can rush it slowly, you can rush it quickly 😂😂

🙏🏻Ray sir I don't have any knowledge about violin but you make me listen about violin 🎼🎻

Love it how you took this challenge and took it to the next level.

That was one phenomenal play!

Wow Ray's arrangement of rush e is so intense🔥🔥🔥

Ray, if you came to NZ, my family would ABSOLUTELY come see you.

thanks for all you do ray, top class individual

Amazing performance

new to your channel, loving this so far. I especially love how you take us along for the trip getting there and not just dropping us off at the final piece. Take my like and sub sir, you've earned it.

The way that fiddle rings is just amazing.

Bravissimo Ray, that was just incredible.

Loved the video Ray. You are an absolutely incredible violinist. Thank you for sharing. ❤👍💯😃

That is amazing! I would lose my mind, if I was at a concert and that was your encore! Bravo!

You played it so well!!

I actually get to hear Ray play this live tomorrow in T.O. after some Korngold!!! Perfect treat to end a rough week 🤗

Thanks so much for the arrangement! Should be fun ❤

I like how you're really into it while playing

So good! I hope I can hear you play it as an encore some day.

Loving this piece and this clip now！

Plenty of fun to be had there Ray. You turned it up to eleven. Most enjoyable and entertaining.

Ray u r phenomenal

Good job bro❤

This actually makes for a brilliant piece to use for practicing and warming up, since you literally use THE ENTIRE FREAKING VIOLIN.

It's been a while since I've last seen a video of your's, love how it got so funny to watch with the edits and the explanation of musical terms, makes music learning/practicing sound more fun to non players! Love your performances, this particular one reminds me so much of Paganini Caprices 🤔 Come to Brazil, pls 🫰

He built different. Keep up the good work man.

One of my favorite parts of his videos is seeing how he puts Tonic into it 😂 Keep it up!

之前就想敲碗這首，謝謝❤

Rush E = happiness for me

That was beautiful

I'm enjoying to watch all your videos. It's so entertaining and makes interested about violin. Hope to watch you perform live someday.

Ray actually did play this as an encore in Toronto, Jan 26 - a world premiere!

tough tough arrangement and you got it!!!!

Ray…..this is magnificent

good job Ray

Oh wow, bravooooooo Ray !!!!!

Suggestion: try a Roman Kim arrangement! That's a challenge!

Sooooo good, Ray

3:23 I actually come ad live in Hungary, and I LOVE the csárdás. It's so good!!

That was great! 🤩

can u pls put just the final part in a seperate vid in description, i love this vid, super entertaining, but it would be cool to have this on my yt playlist lol and probably others would too since this is such an amazing arr. & OMG the performance 😍

Those harmonics are out of this world 😮

Just saw it live in Toronto, wonderful performance!

it's so amazing and superb 🎉

Ray, awesome video as always. I’m coming to see you in Seattle in April and fully expect to hear this as your second encore after Waltzing Matilda.

WOW! Love it.

Spectacular!!

How can you dislike this? I don't see anyone else actually playing it.

Nicely done!

RAYYY PLS COME TO MELBOURNE AGAIN!!!!! IM DYING TO SEE U!! Love ur playing :)

Masterclass for free, god bless ray.😊

My favorite of @RayChenViolinist challenges so far. Also Go Tonic! It helps my kids focus while practicing!

OMG, congrats. I left viola for science a few years ago (I suck at both) and your video and enthusiasm make me questioning that choice. Thanks!

Hi Ray... I'm a big fan! I watched your videos and Master Classes, and learned that you were a Suzuki kid before!!! I Just wish that you could visit us here in the the Philippines and share your passion for Music and inspire more Filipinos in classical music especially in the Suzuki Method!!! More Power and God Bless!!!

Underrated ray chen. Should get at least 2M views each vid honest and tos

Most AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD 😮

I was just binge watching master Ray Chen❤❤❤

wow! this sounded so hard, and still greatly intonated!

Ray Chen adapting Rush E. I think we finished the internet now !

damn... best version ever, thanks

this is...AMAZING🎉🎉🎉🎉

Dang never expected rush e to sound like this Great jobbbb

This video looks fun

great performance till the end 👍

Wow!!! Your notes came out very clear. I heard the harmonics and the speed? I can say you can outrun the Flash!!!

It “has a Russian sound to it” is funny because that’s what the “rush” part means 🙂

👏👏👏 😊 Bravo Ray! 🥂

Loved it

Fanchen the legend.

Fantastic

Looking forward to this Friday's concerto

Awesome this is avery fun video! makes me want to practice

I used to think rush E was so unimpressive just from the way it was traditionally played on the violin - but! You my good sir had brought it to life!

Ray's hair during the performance was truly the most energetic
