It's nice that the sheet music is included so we can all play along at home 😏

[koeien]

the only thing remotely acceptable about this piece is the key signature

I am a violinist, and believe me when I say that whoever the fuck played this deserves a "best violinist of all time" award

Paganini:
“time to write an new piece”
*violin and bow start crying in their case, knowing of the endless days of torture to come for both of them

[mcrettable]

when a violin piece looks like a piano piece you know it's hard lol

[Ladycraft-lktk]

Imagine if Paganini and Wieniawski ever met and said "let's collaborate on a piece that'll really mess with every violinist ever born after us". Then, Ysaye says "I'll hold your beers and make the occasional suggestion".

I paid for the whole fingerboard, I'll use the whole fingerboard

Me looking at the thumnail: Oh, that piano sheet sure looks interesti-

*Reads title*

*Opens vid*

Me: Oh...

[jordanwartell-composer]

Paganini's fingers felt extra flexible when he wrote this insane yet genius piece.

This is Ling Ling's warm up piece.

That thumbnail was the most effective clickbait I've ever seen and the video delivered on its promises ten times over.
That's a like from me

[mistermessy]

"whats the time signature"
"yes"

[samm]

In no way a classically trained musician, self taught, but hot damn the accuracy of each note, bow stroke, and pizzicato all rolled into one!? Even I can tell this is music few people alive are able to play it the way it sounded when Paganini performed it. Even more impressive is how incredibly far ahead of the time this kind of solo violin piece was. This is the sound of genius level musical advancement right here.

[lizzies.]

I really want to see twoset try to sightread this

[Danje-MX]

How the hell is it possible to play pizzicato and arco at the same time?? what the hell... Ah left hand pizzicato, crazy shit. I'm done...

[chckensandwich]

remember that somewhere there is a 16 year old that can play this perfectly

[maua]

this piece is like trying to read the title without knowing italian
