When You Realise You Have ZERO Talent 

so who's gonna be better than the Asian kids?

Tài Vương But who is better than the little kid?

@@justrcd another asian kid 😂😂😂

@@justrcd an Asian baby, maybe in the womb

An baby prodigy

Same with double bass LOL

Also child instruments, especially accordeons, sound absolutely shite

A person Yeah, I already wanted to play Tuba when I was 5.... Then I realized it was much bigger than me.

You don't have to worry with the viola either because nobody plays it well.

A person and French horn players📯

Meanwhile I don't even understand what a note is.

Elijah Park you dont sight read live you dumb fuck

It's said seppuku lol

There's always one more asian then you!

Olivia Dustow Im a kid. ;_;

coming from someone who got accepted as a student by a senior professor at julliard exactly the opposite is true you have to have an ego

You meant there is always an asian better than you

nah you need a healthy superiority complex and confidence

Rya Aiko and that 3 year old Asian is out Asianed by a 2 1/2 year old 😂😭

He still be choppin tho (I'll see myself out)

DaMn this had me WHEEZING

Violinists just don't care about Chopin that much probably because he almost wrote exclusively for the piano. So yeah, he's very famous amongst Pianists but is practically unknown amongst violinists. But me being a Pianist, I love Chopin's music, he is one of my favourite composer of all time.

@@lizzybach4254 same. I'm sweating my way through the first Ballade right now. It's way too hard for me but I'm learning about a page a month. Wish me luck!

@@tomswiftyphilo2504 Amazing, Good luck!

I'm a pianist (intermadiate) and I was like this : I will NEVER be able to play that. Then finger are not enough. ^^

Lol same

Imagine how we feel 😅

lol bullshit

If you can play Twinkle twinkle, you can definitely play ABCD and Baa baa blck sheep... 😂😂

Neko Chan playing the basic notes of Twinkle Twinkle doesn’t magically translate to playing something much more complex and expressive. If you can play a beautiful, elaborate rendition of Twinkle Twinkle, you can play this, not because it’s fundamentally the same, but because you can play complex music expressively. If this were true, anyone who could play a full scale could play any piece of music in that key. Bullshit.

Cristopher Borgstede lol it’s called a joke because of a video they reacted to where the guy said: if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly so now it’s become a meme lol

lin yang didn’t realize it was a meme, but I’ve heard it in orchestra and from other musicians so goddamn often it doesn’t matter.

Kyle1227 bruh watch me produce the most horrid sound using the same violin

Josh Ng it’s a joke roasting the 15 notes/second guy, if you haven’t seen that video check it out!

Yoyo He i just watched that! I’m loving this channel more and more 😂

Than Ben Lee guy was a trash😂

Skadi This is true

Even if ur an asian that’s true I play violin too bro😭

Roses are red, violets are blue There’s always an Asian better than the Asian better than you

sunny same

I know right. People bring up child prodigy stories like I'm supposed to feel inspired. But I just feel like an empty potato sack.

Thelving the Wing me too omg it's very depressing when a 5 year old can play better you

They aren't prodigies, their parents just beat them over and over until the kid gets it right.

Evan Duong I sure hope that's the case.

Killjoy who makes some noise was Was confidence ever in the chat?

*Self-esteem has left the chat*

Confidence and self-esteem have left the universe.

hahahahha true..

Goodbye self confidence

SHE- SHES FIFTEE- i thought she was 9.

x_br1ght yea same like tf .-.

SooBeen Lee was 12 when she performed at the Menuhin competition. She was 17 when Brett and Eddy shot this video. Now she's 19.

@Mark Pozsar And then there's you... Well then.

so that's the one and only B(e)en Lee over whos violin playing one should simp :D

Gandatier she may be able to play violin better than me who’s been playing longer than she’s been alive but at least I can say I’ve been outside more than once in the past 6 years

how do you know she didn't have one ? that's a famous excuse of being bad (i have a life). Saying that, I just began my violin journey... 2 weeks ago

So many times I hear others saying "I have a life" when they see others acheiving great things. I feel sorry for them. (I am no prodigy by any means )

I've been playing for over 9 years now and I can tell you, that kind of beautiful sound comes from (easily) tens of thousands of hours of practice. My comment was mostly a joke but there is truth to it she's very young and already sounds like a professional you don't get that kind of sound without immense amounts of practice. Good luck to you on your journey with violin and hopefully eventually you'll know what I mean when is say that 8-year old girl sounds like shes been playing for 20 years haha

@Gavin Watkins Well thanks for replaying to me and good luck to you too. Although I got your joke and actually I replied to Gandatier the author of the original comment, which was definitely not a joke.

Same

Naina Dhaliwal loooooooooooooooolllll 😂😂😂😭

I came to the comment section just for this comment specifically. Yup, am Polish ^__^'

Literally no one in Poland knows Wieniawski. I hate this country xd

@@Mia199603 The fact that neither you nor your circle knows him, doesn't mean that noone knows him. Better educate yourself instead of blaming the state.

Even in Croatia we learn about Chopin on history and music classes in regular school. Sadly, a lot of people haven't even heard of Wienawski.

Chopin is Franco-Polish 🇫🇷🇵🇱

Awesome Me, made me laugh...so hard...lmao....

My mom would disown me 😂

Cuz I play flute

my mom was a linguistic prodigy who could be conversational in a language in a month. She didnt understand that wasnt normal and one summer my brother got in big trouble so she had him stay home and study the whole summer and said he needed to be fluent in Italian, German, and one other language that I dont recall by the end of it. I felt so bad for him

The sole reason why I uninstalled youtube from my mom. Hopefulky she will remain in bliss ..... and not knowing this child prodigies to be the new "Asian parents's hypothetical neighbour to compare your kids to".

Honey you aint the only one

@@TheSwerAlmighty Dang

😂😂😂

I chose flute and piccolo. My piccolo fits in my coat pocket.

Doing the electric guitar 🤷‍♀️

I wish I picked the double bass

StarDust Stables I tried to follow this line of reasoning by taking up the violoncello, unfortunately I was unable to escape the army of child prodigies due to 1/2 cellos existing :(

That’s us all

Hahahahaha

Yee

Memorizing a piece is easy. Much easier than poems even.

ya they know that I'm sure. once you have it memorized all you have to do is fine tune it for hours. then its all down hill from there.

Memorizing pieces is actually quite easy. Playing is the hard part.

*too

If they practice enough they will eventually be capable of performing it like that. With a loooot of practice. What’s depressing is that if you had a talent it would be easier

@@ate7714 I doubtably think the technique is about talent but not practicing, but the final sensation of the performance is relevant to talent. Of course, it is talented already to show a difficult piece in such understanding, I donot mean her technique.

Love this

There's a possibility that this is a stolen comment.

@@mehranhodiwala1273 You're right, it's impossible for multiple unrelated people to have the same idea

@@dunterriker3301 I never said that. It's just that if that happens it would happen with two or maybe even three or four people. But I think it is impossible for more that 25 people to have the exact same idea in a single comment section.

@@mehranhodiwala1273 It wasn't stolen, it's just a very easy joke to make

@@dunterriker3301 I hope it isn't, really. I just wanted to tell people that there is a possibility that this was stolen before they said "hilarious" or "lmao". And I agree that I shouldn't have been so affirmative in my tone, so I'm gonna change the comment to, 'There is a possibility that this comment is stolen.' I hope that's fine with you.

K Lu yeah tbh just sight reading and doing that good is more impressive in my opinion, but that kid is uh....my brain is malfunctioning

IKR my sight reading experience to anything in my youth symphony orchestra is something along the lines of sitting with a blank face and crying on the inside

Just cause you can sight read doesnt mean you can play perfectly the first time... Especially a song as crazy as that

Yes, they're definitely not perfect, but it's true, their sight reading skills are great.

ThePhoenixGhirl pretty sure he was complimenting them

You may have took that the wrong way lol

what? a piece is a song.....

Yess ❤️❤️❤️

More importantly, it sounds like it too haha

dat face bruh

And she got 2nd place too

by emotion you mean fear?

Who the eff wouldn’t give her props

Craig Perry ok yea but like that kid was like 10😩

NaKa Ji Hahahaha. I burst out laughing when I read this.

No!!!!!!!!!! Really!!?????????????????????

Jhahaha I want to know that too

Basically, these kids usually have Tiger Parents. They have no childhood and spend countless hours in a practice room since they are 2 or 3 years old...

Haha true!!

I believe prodigies exist

All you need is that ONE child who DOES practice. I had one who did surprise me. At lessons, she'd always stop and say "whoops" when she made a mistake. Couldn't break her of the habit. But at her first music festival performance, she made a mistake and didn't even flinch. I was ready to do cartwheels!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, there is that one other tone, which we call intonation, that we "play" every day.

Yeah same

Matthew Finis same I’m a violinist I can’t get sound like that on my 1k violin 😭😅

Can I play the piano part?

Pretty much, even for the easier to do instruments like trumpet, you can’t articulate without complete time wasting.

OMG I've seen that meme before

Low key can’t even play 32nd notes on me drums

@@color1920 thats kinda sad lol

I'm approaching 70 myself, took up the violin only recently but know I should be able to play something half decent in 15 years time... And in 20 years who knows? As long as you enjoy it, who cares. The 4 p's - patience, perseverance, PASSION and PRACTICE are key.

Remember that their professionals and she’s a child.

Lmao she sounded better and cleaner tho. I love them both but my vote is with the little girl and her grueling hours.

Payton Johnson to be fair, they’ve played it before at some point, and they played it far from perfectly

@@henryschoon7816 Did u see them or something like that U: no Me :that what i expected

JUST HUMAN dude what

No kidding. Makes me wonder if Chopin and Wienawksi hated humanity.

my teacher can play on spot while teaching me, grade 8 flute pieces...with alot of running notes..a professional player can play without practicing... is all about how familiar with the music...

For a loooooooooong time? She’s like 6 she’d have to start at three. She just prodigy m8

Kyle Milton you be failure and no get into college

Tru, but any person who plays an instrument knows that practice quality is more important that quantity.

Hellooo but anyone who plays an instrument would also know its called a joke ;)

Audrey Lin It is not like reading Chinese or Japanese. The hard bit in reading music for me is the Italian speed bits. Then again I have been playing since Year 2 and it is different to everyone.

Italian speed bits? Interesting issue. This was one area that I didn't find too difficult. To me, learning the terminology made me think it unfair that Italian students had an advantage as learners of music notation. Quite indicative of how "learning" music, for me, has been a painstaking process of wishing I had just put the effort and time in from day 1 of my learning instead of NEEDING to understand how so many parts of the process were actually necessary. After all, I didn't need to understand biology and physics to learn how to sing. I think I'm learning the importance of starting again since I deviated from the learning plan as soon as I began professional instruction. I can't bring myself to advocate for the blind following of teachers, nor can I advocate for the use of more forceful insistence on teachers to not allow the free-thinking of their students. Drill sargent style music teaching is narcissistic and serves to inflate the perception of the teacher (a product of doing what you love for a living, in my opinion). If that is how this lovely little girl learned how to play like that it explains why she is not crying her eyes out while she plays. If she is a prodigy I am even more interested in learning about her. Holy shit, even with these two guys interrupting her she captivated me. (By the way, the two guys are not too bad themselves. Sight reading something like that requires a little more than zero talent.) This video and its commentary may have been a catalyst for me following my passion once more. Thank you, little girl and you two "talentless" musicians.

trueee

Practiced formal piano for 10+ years, only got my middle school's jazz band to achieve second place in one competition. Most of the time in my jazz band class I spent huddled in one of the piano rooms listening to my cd player since there was a better pianist who happened to also be in the same class as me. I passed the class despite being almost forgotten about.

Saaaaame 😂😂😂 how the fuck did I end up here tho I have no idea 🤣

Der Nm maybe try to be the pianist and have a free close up concert XD

me too

Lucky you

Cause no child wants to at viola xD

Tinson Lee 1. Thats offending because it is a great instrument that I've played for 4 years (and im pretty good) 2. You need to go back to school because that makes no sense

Erica Roman SAME

Yep. While the kid is obviously really great, you can tell she's practiced the piece a lot.

I’d get the first note correctly in a week. Scratch that I may need more time. ;-;

What grade are youu

Francesca Mercedes Guilliod 5 years, but I'm getting there 👍

Nope. I just recently got ridiculed in front of my teacher's entire studio for "not practicing for a week." I was practicing, although just practicing really badly and not realizing. I'm dead now.

It sucks. My cello teacher, who was an immigrant from china, told me that there will always be an asian kid better than you, no matter how hard you try. It's true...

Don't worry. If you can play it slow you can play it fast.

Amy M I hate sight reading for piano but i find it easier on violin

Susan the best piano player yeah definitely, I think partly because with violin there’s only 1 line, rather than 2 lines of music you have to read at the same time

I'm sorry but what does sightreading mean? I don't play violin.

@@zack1634 its when you get a sheet of music you haven't seen before and you try to play it without looking at it properly beforehand

Oh wow. Which concerto was it?

Wow all show no substance? Surely...

Kathy Johnson 1000th like wow

Same here, but I'm a freshman in high school studying Concerto No 2 in D Minor. It's SOOO Hard.

Would you be willing to specify (A) which Wieniawski, and (B) which concertante work to which you're referring? As far as I know, I possess a copy of every recorded concertante work by both Henryk and Józef Wieniawski. Was this by one of them, or another by this famous musical family? I think I only have in my pretty large collection recordings of music by those two, but I do know that other members of the family were also composers. Anyway, if it was a concertante work by one of those two brothers, which piece was it? Was it a violin concerto? A piano concerto? A cello concerto? Though I don't rate either of the two Wieniawski's of whom I have heard works among my favourite composers, I will have to say I've heard not a single piece that I'd consider even close to "no substance". I like hearing other people's opinions and would like to revisit the work to which you're referring to see if I can get a handle on why you'd consider it to be "all show and no substance".
