"Is the piano out of tune?" - You guys killed me with this one!! XD

[emilyc.]

You'd be surprised at how many soloists there are that don't actually know what a quarter rest is

[misslysiak]

Flashbacks to school band when the vocalists would sing out of tune, and then claim that I was either playing it wrong, or the ELECTRIC piano needed tuning. Gotta love accompanying

[emmabrook]

I don’t even play an instrument and every time I’m like “same”

[miriamtong]

I'm jealous of everyone that can play both the piano and the violin.

[lest]

And the last one:


Violinist: Ok, that's good, but on measure 3, can you do vibrato on the final note?


Pianist: ...

"Oh piano is easy, you're an accompanist you can play everything"

Video title: what not to do as a violinist
Actual video: 7 minutes of accompanist being verbally abused by violinist

edit: y'all i know i messed up by saying accompanist instead of piano. at the time i was thinking about the video and mixed it up. please stop correcting me cuz I too am a pianist

[wolfiea.]

Can you just play piano on the piano?
Can you just play in tune on the violin?

[claudiasantananunez]

I especially love when SINGERS say “are you okay with sight reading this? The piano part is very easy...”

[Sanity]

accompanists are the real heroes. they have to deal with so much ego and other soloist bullshit. I try to be as nice as I can but they are always so patient and I really appreciate it.

[michael.d.]

LEARNING THE BRAHMS IN 3 DAYS this is why I ask people six months in advance what they want to play so I don't suffer massively

[jazzdaddycriticisms]

abusing an overplayed repertoire violinist? You mean when bassists and cellists are forced to sit though Pachabell's Canon in D?

[maikeg]

We played carmen at school in orchestra. I play the cello.
After the rehearsal we all wanted to get our pinky finger amputated

"The Violinist that hasn't practiced"





*I felt that*

[carina.musicc]

I was at school and someone was playing the cello, and this boy in my class is like, 'Oh look at that bass violin.' Like fuck..

[mlal]

I feel this as a pianist. But I'm also guilty as a violinist.

[thedolphinviolinist]

"Can you play piano on the piano?"
"Can you play in tune?"

THIS JUST GOT REAL

[lonelyviola]

The "abusing an overplayed repertoire" one...
way too true.

[angiemarin]

"You are an accompanist, yOu cAN pLaY e V e R i t H i N G"
