W.A.Mozart - Eine kleine Nachtmusik [Violin Solo by Roman Kim] 

Everyone: "This piece is for a string quartet" RK: "This violin has 4 strings, I'm all set"

Orchestra: Did not show up Roman Kim : It’s fine I’ll just be an orchestra and solo should be easy

i don't remember writing this piece for one violin

Thank you all!!! i have many new things to record-sorry for such big hole in time-i had many concerts to play and create new things.But next year i will start with Beethoven 5th for solo violin,and after i will record my Requiem for solo violin made for Japan Tour and many many another personal pieces and fantasies. Thank you for your Interess!

I can't believe I haven't seen this before. Came here right after seeing Twoset react to this. I am speechless at how incredible he is.

No one plays like Gaston

Ya'll came from twoset, gave this guy what he deserves.

The fact that this man is not the most popular violinist at this point in time draws from the fact that his talent is way too huge to even be comprehensible by common folk

I can only imagine Mozarts face, had he been able to see this video...

No Orchestra available? No problem. This guy is an orchestra!

I’m so happy TwosetViolin finally reacted to this guy.

Like Paganini, Roman is clearly ahead of his time. His genius affords him this luxury of course, but what is equally compelling is the degree to which he is able to execute his mind-bending renditions with such abandon. It seems almost natural for him to play the violin in this ground-breaking and nearly unfathomable manner. Even this generation will need some time to reconcile with this and many other achievements of his, but he won’t be chastised for his diabolical innovations and virtuousity as was Paganini.

Excuse me sir I think you may have a few too many fingers

0:33-0:37 people don't understand how much skill it takes to make that subtle piano to forte gradual climb without making it obvious. I replayed this part more than 100 times because he does it so effortlessly and smoothly. Amazing. Genius indeed

TwoSet Violin : "You can't afford a quartett, right? Just hire Roman Kim" At this point hiring a quartett is MORE affordable than hiring Roman Kim...

Me: A violinst who can play in-tune double stops & has been playing for 12 years Roman Kim: Step aside young one, you have much yet to learn

*mozart writes amazing piece* “Look at how awesome I am at writing music” *roman Kim plays entire score on his violin* “BUT CAN YOU DO THISSSS?!?!”

Amazing, truly amazing. You are a true genius and deserve much more attention. All the voices are clear and you play with beautiful dynamics. I would like to buy the sheets by the way! Where can i buy them? Ps: that thumb pizz is awesome :D

This man has the best technique I've ever seen.

Roman, I got really bad news...the entire Orchestra got food poisoned last night...they cant make it Roman: oh ok

i ask myself each time i see his videos: why he is not universally acclaimed and more known and being used as reference for technique on every violin site or place out there?

Who in the world made that gorgeous piece of music? Oh yeah, I did! Silly me, I forgot again.

When you have to wear protective eye-wear because of the sparks flying off the fingerboard

I'm so glad TwoSetViolin finally made a video reacting you playing. You're such a talented person, I wonder why I have never seen any article mentioning you.

This guy has amazing control, sound quality and virtuosity, please continue with this kind of things.

at first i saw the thumbnail and i was like “dawg, there is no reason to be dressed like that i know this is gonna be annoying to watch” then i watched it. excuse me save some talent for the rest of us pls. even if it’s just the crumbs bc you absolutely DEVOURED this.

From the comments you can see why he is not a resounding success, there is a lot of envy. And the more one knows about music, the more this feeling grows against the most talented violinist of this century. I, and every human being alive, have not seen Paganini play, but this lad beats them all by a wide difference in talent and makes me proud to have seen Kim perform such a marvel.

This is what a 40-hours-a-day-practice sounds like

THAT THUMB PIZZ ON G-STRING THO BOI!!!

"So the string quartet didn't show up, what now?" Roman: Hold my beer

I love the little cut for no reason to the statue throwing arms up @3:16. As if the statue was thinking: "Ok, I've stopped trying to figure this shit out."

Imagine Mozart hearing this! He’s probably compose music just for Roman Kim to challenge him. What a pair they would have made!

Most skilled virtuoso I've ever seen! I really wasted 5 years for not knowing Roman Kim. Beautiful!!!

This is pure gold. Alot of people fail to see how hard this piece really is. It is a masterpiece that even Mozart would be proud of. The dynamics are beautiful and you've combined each part of the piece perfectly.

Дорогой Роман Ким, Ваши ноты - это волшебство, которое переплетается с вечностью. Ваше мастерство - это не просто игра на скрипке, это разговор с самой душой музыки. Вы не просто исполнитель, вы - посредник между миром и тем, что за его пределами. Скрипка в ваших руках - это волшебная палочка, которой вы рисуете звезды на небе. Ваши ноты - это созвездия, которые сверкают в темных просторах. Вы не просто играете, вы создаете. Ваши струны - это мосты между мирами, и мы - слушатели - переправляемся через них. Спасибо вам за ваше искусство, за то, что вы делаете мир богаче, а наши души - светлее. Ваши ноты - это лекарство от суеты и шума. Они лечат, вдохновляют и поднимают нас к звездам. С уважением и восхищением, Ваш поклонник Roman Kim’s rendition of “Eine kleine Nachtmusik As I immerse myself in the ethereal strains of Roman Kim’s violin, I find myself transported to a realm where time stands still, and music becomes the very fabric of existence. His performance of W.A. Mozart’s “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” is nothing short of a celestial conversation-a dialogue between the mortal and the divine. 1. The Prelude: A Whispersome Invitation The opening notes tiptoe into my consciousness, delicate as dew-kissed petals. Roman Kim’s bow caresses the strings, coaxing forth a melody that flutters like a nocturnal butterfly. The violin sings, and I listen-a willing captive to its allure. The night beckons, and I follow, my heart aflutter with anticipation. 2. Moonlit Reverie: Allegro As the tempo quickens, so does my pulse. Roman Kim’s fingers dance across the fingerboard, each note a starburst of brilliance. The violin becomes a storyteller, weaving tales of moonlit escapades, secret rendezvous, and stolen kisses. I close my eyes, and suddenly, I am twirling in a moonlit garden, my laughter echoing through the night. 3. Serenade for the Soul: Roman Kim’s Mastery Roman Kim’s technique is a marvel-a tightrope walk between precision and passion. His fingers glide effortlessly, leaving trails of stardust in their wake. The violin becomes an extension of his being-an oracle that whispers secrets of love, longing, and melancholy. How does he conjure such magic? It’s as if Mozart himself guides his hand. 4. Adagio: A Heart Unveiled In the Adagio, Roman Kim bares his soul. The violin weeps, its lament echoing across centuries. I feel the ache-the longing for something intangible, a love lost or never found. The notes hang in the air, fragile as spider silk, yet they carry the weight of eternity. Roman Kim’s vibrato trembles like a fragile heart, and I am undone. 5. Rondo: A Joyful Dance of Stars And then, the Rondo bursts forth-a jubilant celebration. Roman Kim’s bow becomes a comet’s tail, streaking across the firmament. The violin laughs, pirouettes, and invites us to join the cosmic revelry. We dance-audience and artist-our souls alight with the sheer exuberance of existence. The stars applaud, and I wonder if they envy our mortal rapture. 6. The Final Cadence: A Breath Held As the final notes linger, I hold my breath. Roman Kim’s violin hovers on the precipice of silence, suspended between worlds. The audience, too, is suspended-a collective heartbeat waiting for release. And then, like a shooting star, the last note fades. Applause erupts-a thunderstorm of gratitude and awe. Roman Kim bows, and I bow with him, grateful to have witnessed this celestial communion. In Conclusion Roman Kim’s rendition of “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” transcends mere performance. It is a communion of souls-an invitation to dance with the universe, to taste eternity in a fleeting moment. Bravo, maestro! Your violin speaks, and we listen-a chorus of hearts forever changed. Samuel ROMAN KIM Roman Kim, the virtuoso violinist and composer, hails from the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic-a land where the echoes of Tatar, Belarusian, and Korean heritage intertwine like harmonious threads. Born on October 11, 1991, just months before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Kim’s musical journey began early, guided by the hands of fate and a family steeped in diverse cultural roots. The Tapestry of His Origins Picture a young Roman Kim cradling his first violin at the tender age of five. The instrument became an extension of his soul, a vessel through which he would channel centuries of musical legacy. By the age of seven, he had already claimed victory in national competitions-a prodigious talent emerging from the vast Eurasian expanse. Moscow’s Melodic Embrace 🇷🇺 Kim’s path led him to the Central Music School in Moscow, where he studied under the watchful gaze of Galina Turchaninova. Her tutelage bestowed upon him a technical foundation-a canvas upon which he would later paint symphonies. And then, the Mstislav Rostropovich Foundation recognized his promise, granting him a scholarship. The young violinist’s star ascended, fueled by passion and relentless practice. The Cologne Interlude At a mere sixteen, Roman Kim stood at the gates of the Cologne University of Music. Here, under the guidance of Viktor Tretyakov, he honed his craft. Tretyakov-the maestro who shaped not only Kim’s technique but also his very musical essence. “Turchaninova gave me a wonderful technical basis,” Kim reminisces, “and Tretyakov affected me very strongly musically”. The Violin as His Voice Kim’s repertoire spans the Romantic period, where he waltzes with violin concertos and virtuoso compositions. But it’s his deep dive into the legendary Paganini’s bow and finger techniques that sets him apart. Like Paganini, Kim weaves new arrangements, breathing fresh life into timeless melodies. And then there’s an unexpected muse: Jimi Hendrix-whose electric spirit fuels Kim’s creative fire. Stardust and Strings: “Air on a G String” In 2011, Kim’s rendition of Bach’s “Air on a G String” reverberated across the digital cosmos. Over 1.3 million viewers on RU-vid bore witness to his magic. The violin became a celestial wand, conjuring emotions beyond language. Ivry Gitlis, the Israeli virtuoso, declared Kim’s mastery as "one of the most incredible playing I have heard since I was born!". The Inventor’s Prism But Kim isn’t confined to the stage alone. He dons prismatic glasses-an invention of his own making. These spectacles, like kaleidoscopic portals, enhance his focus and concentration. Through their tinted lenses, he glimpses alternate dimensions, where music and imagination intertwine. Transcriptions and Triumphs As a composer, Kim weaves transcriptions and original works. His violin concerto premiered in Cluj-Napoca, Romania in 2017. Among his transcriptions, “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” dances-a Mozartian reverie reborn. And let’s not forget the First Movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, now rendered anew by Kim’s nimble fingers. The Kimpossible Journey In 2018, Kim’s album, aptly titled “Kimpossible,” graced the world. Sony Records cradled his notes-their resonance echoing through time and space. A Citizen of Music So, what nationality does Roman Kim claim? His passport bears the stamp of Kazakhstan, but his true citizenship transcends borders. He belongs to the realm of music-a global citizen serenading the universe.

the fact that he only have 42k like in this video and 53k sub tells me that someone is going to look at his work only in 100 years from now

Who’s here from TwoSet?? 🙋🏻‍♀️🎻 This guy is literally the orchestra

How's this man only get 1.4m views this should've gotten more views than any Ariana/Taylor other artist

I truly mean it. This is probably one of the most talented people living right now. This is unreal

I have played the violin since childhood, many orchestra concerts. I just look and listen to his videos in stunned disbelief. The subtle bowing making everything so smooth, I just can't....

What kind of Ling Ling Freakish Devil Dance is this.....???? Sounds like the soul of 10 Violinists trapped in this instrument!

The outfit, the specs, the hair, the effortlessly flawless genius rendition, this guy is a total spaz! I love it! At last, I have found my spirit familiar!

I can barely play my own part well... and the left hand pizzicato is insane. this is one of the most amazing things i have ever seen

merci Roman Kim un solo MAGNIFIQUE

Roman Kim is a genious of XXI century, in violin. Extremly superb, in large sclale best than others. Like Rostropovich in cello or Rampal in flute (XX century). These people changed the world forever.

Man's gonna play the entire pag concerto while playing the orchestra part at the same time. He gon put the rest of us out of business.

Here from Two-Set, I had to listen after their reactions. I am truly impressed with this. I'm glad that left hand got some close-ups. It is indeed, actually being performed by a quartet -- Roman's brain and heart, Roman's right hand and bow, a violin, and Roman's left hand. Great group. Going to share.

Legit, I'm starting to believe Paganini was somehow reborn as this man. The sheer amount of virtuousity this man put on his violin is Transcendental!

The first time through, I thought it was plausible that any excellent violinist could play this. After a few more listens, I realized that no mortal can play this as well as RK

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much god damn work this must have taken. not to mention the musical phrasing within each line absolute insanity

Me: can't even get the first violin part right Roman Kim: plays the entire orchestra

This is insane dude, it give me Erlkönig vibes with the multiple voices going on, and while I don’t know anything about violin since I don’t play it, it looks very difficult yet you played it beautifully.

My god. A sorcerer supreme of solo violin music. The fingerings alone are phantasmagoric.

If Mozart lived today, his mind would be blown watching this! One musical genius watching another.

I wish I could share this with people around me. Unfortunately, it is impossible as no one would understand.

can anyone tell me how to re-like this a hundred times - I just love this so much. Thank you for this, Roman Kim!

Come here after watching twoset and give this man the attention he deserve :)

Plot twist: He has 10 fingers on his left hand

Your the first violinist I've ever seen playing multiple parts at one time without a looping pedal. I love your arrangements. Recently, I started working on playing the bass part and melody line at the same time also. Thanks for the inspiration.

amazing ..incredible...just pure and refined mega art!!!

Absolutely amazing! Well done! BRAVO!!

Not only is this dude playing one of the most difficult instruments to play, but he's playing ALL 4 PARTS SIMULTANEOUSLY BY HIMSELF ON ONE INSTRUMENT. Actual insanity, inhuman.

Playing all the parts and it’s one of the most beautiful versions I’ve ever heard

This is why I love two set! It is very helpful when you want to learn about new talents! Congratulations Roman Kim! 😀

Where did he find so much finger's?

Best solo version I've heard of Eine kleine Nachtmusik! Bravo!

You deserve a lot more subscribers then what you currently have. You are an exceptional violinist.

That has to be the best I’ve ever heard Mozart played on just one violin. Amazing!

Absolutely the best performance of this piece I've ever heard!

In addition to the acrobatic and technical brilliance, the musical interpretation is astonishing.

Dude. I don't play violin nor am I a musician, but I can see that this is some amazing talent. Wow!

The super subtle and very intense energy dynamics, the phrasing, the joy and relaxation with which he plays, the musicality and the technical difficulty.. wow.. all together its so impressive and such a great achievement. You really put your full heart and being into this. Thank you Roman

Such an incredible inventor, technician, and performer.

Could you release the sheet music? This would be an amazing piece for masters of the violin.

Wow! That was amazing. I played the violin for 3 years. It was so hard. He makes it look so easy. Beautiful to watch.

Search "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik quartet" and this is one in the top results. Proving that this is indeed considered...... A QUARTET

Wow! Amazing! This is a whole new level of violinplaying. And it doesn't even seem difficult for you...I wish my teacher Ruggiero Ricci was still alive to see your videos. Absolutely fantastic!

This is beyond human! 👇Twoset sent us here

the best violin solo for this piece I have ever heard, full of talents and passion!

Speechless 😶 how ………. Human what fingers to fast powwow every note

The imperfect of the playing makes it so real

This is the most amazing video I've seen in a long time. Bravo....

I'm speechless - but that's probably when the music starts to speak for itself and wow, I'm completely blown away! A modern Paganini! Got to this amazing piece through TwoSetViolin! Can't wait for more work from you! Fighting!

"He's an alien" -TwoSetViolin

Perfect, the performance gave me a fresh shock. Roman Kim must be genius.

Very beautifully played! Violin is my favorite instrument..

Just... Wow.. You're amazing! Twoset just react to your vid and that's why I'm here!! I can't believe such talent can exist!!

Could this be the best Violinist ever! of our time ! most will not know what there hearing or watching, and comprehending all this talent it really is unbelievable . Bravissimo!

This is an astonishing feat of finger positions, phrasing, bowing, dynamics, accents and time warping! Congratulations Ling Ling!

No puedo creer que este video tenga cinco años y apenas tenga un millon de visitas, este caballero es un genio, tiene una manera tan unica de tocar el violin, tan hipnotizante, se desborda su talento.

"If you spend all your time practicing, you won't have any friends to play with you!" "I don't need friends"

Props!! That’s a ton of work. Cudos and much respect!! You are the first!!
