If you have played a hard piece from memory, then his facial expressions will tell you that inside his head is every note flying across a score that demands thought and muscle memory to hit without thinking about what is happening outside of yourself. It's so fun when you nail it! ℗.

Jeff Criton Of course people play music on this instrument without reading sheet music. I'm 99% sure that he does not use sheet music here, because I've seen him play live already and he did not use sheet music. The vast majority of nyckelharpa players do not use sheet music (myself included) for performing. The more traditional players don't even use sheet music to learn the tunes, but learn by ear, because it is an aural tradition. The only nyckelharpa players that I've seen playing with sheet music are those that play in a more "classical" setting and then I very often have the feeling that they don't even need it and just have it there because, apparently, it is more or less required to use sheet music to look serious in those settings.

Jeff Criton I've seen MANY musicians stare off into space while playing a difficult piece by heart. Folk musicians usually don't use any sheet music at all and everything is by memory - Irish fiddlers with thousands of memorized songs. The human brain is amazing.

His playing of Nyckelharpa sort of like a violin reminds me of gamers who love playing videogames on the hardest difficulty mode possible, but with additional, self-imposed, restrictions to make everything even harder. Extremely talented indeed.
@jamesaron1967
@jamesaron1967 Год назад
I don't think it should be that difficult as far as bowed instruments are concerned. The unfretted bowed instruments like the violin, viola, etc are hard because the strings are short, and due to there being no frets difficult for the beginner to position fingers. The Nyckelharpa has buttons, so no need to know the specific spot to find the right note providing the instrument is tuned properly. I could be wrong having no experience in Western bowed instruments and would like to try the Nyckelharpa one day.

Saying that a buttoned string instrument is the "hard mode" of the violin is absolute musical blasphemy. Literally one of the hardest to learn classical instruments simply due to it having 0 support for actually hitting a note. Not diminishing Roths abilities of course, the music created doesn't deminish in value by the instrument used.

strings last for a very long time when you dont touch them with your fingers all the time. guitar strings dont decay so quickly due to aging or corrosion, but because the gaps of the winding gunk up with grease and dead skin particles, muffling the tone. coated polyweb strings last for years.

Interesting instrument. From the looks and sound of it, it appears to essentially be 3 violins with keys to take place of the fingering. You get the tone of multiple violins but it's easier to play than a guitar. Each key is a different chord.
@elisabetryd8635
@elisabetryd8635 10 лет назад
A nyckelharpa has 16 strings but you can only play with the bow on four of them, and one of those four is a drone. The rest of the 12 strings are resonance strings that cover a chromatic scale. Traditionally the four playing strings are tuned C (the drone), G, C and A (which is the highest string, when we look at a nyckelharpa it's the one closest to the ground so to speak). The instrument comes from Uppland in Sweden, but has spread all over the world since the 70s. When pressing down a "nyckel" (key) you shorten the string, therefore creating a higher tone. There are usually three rows of keys that each belong to a specific string. So you could use it for playing chords, pressing down one or more keys :) Lovely instrument! In Sweden it is mostly used when playing for dances like polska, schottis and waltz.

@fiedelmina
@fiedelmina 9 лет назад
one key is just one note. It is chromatic so each key is a half-tone. What you call the "sound of multiple violins" may be due to the fact that the nyckelharpa "invites" you to play chords. Both because that is the tradition it comes from, and because it is built with a bridge which is much flatter than that of a violin so it is easier to play two strings at once. Older versions of nyckelharpas were in fact built the way you describe it: One key moved two tangents on two different strings, while a drone string was played at the same time, thereby producing not one note, but a chord.

OUTSTANDING!!! I put the nyckelharpa on my list of "things I wish I could play" awhile back. I think I'll have to settle for playing the video instead of the instrument! Wonderful!

Thomas! Remember me from Blackmore's Night ca. 2000-2002? Thought a lot of you then and now, your excellent musicianship and terrific baritone voice. This is fantastic mein Freund! What a bow arm!

I find the “debate” about whether Åsa Jinder is better or not rather strange. They are doing totally different things with the instrument. It is a bit like debating whether Mark Knopfler or Django Reinhardt is the better guitar player and arguing that only one can have the soul of the instrument. I'm a big fan of “traditional” nyckelharpa work and still find what Roth is doing to be totally amazing. No reason you can't like both.

Thomas... just ignore the don't knowing people here... Bring your "Munich", no. 2, 4 and 8 online... and everybody here... who are talking about "that's not enough" and so on,.. will shut up!!!! FACT!!!!! The people who are talking about this kind a music... and thinking that it is not enough what he is bringing are right... in their position... because they didn't understand it!!! If you know no. 8 of his CD, there is so much feeling and love for the music... a normal listener don't understand.
