The liveliness and noise of a Viennese salon is the best venue for this sort of performance. The audience are not afraid to show their appreciation while the music is playing. There are no tut-tuts and hushes, and the musicians love the instant feedback. As one who regularly attends chamber concerts sitting uncomfortably upright in silence I can honestly say this mall performance is much more fun. It’s just a pity the sound and image quality here are so poor for the video audience. It does the artists a disservice.

[@idangreenberg7451]

Too often in modern urban society, instead of in fine restaurants the only place one can hear great classical and jazz music is in subway's, malls and other places where people do not tend to linger very long. I first began traveling to Moscow in 1996 in for a couple of years after that almost every good restaurant there had live classical and jazz musicians. But by 2000 most of them had been replaced by canned music, usually some form of rock music. And unless one specifically went to a concert at a event center, the only place one could hear this sort of music in the small scale, was in subway stations. And when I pass them on my way somewhere else, even went on the move, I always reached into my pocket and put money into their instrument cases, or coffee cans. I have not been to Russia since 2016, but have been to other places and it seems that there are fewer musicians in the various subway stations in various cities I have been to. I live in Phoenix and can't remember the last street musician I ever saw here who was playing classical music, even when the weather is very pleasant and not too hot. So I go to the Phoenix symphony, or other classical or jazz venues to hear this kind of music live now. But of course then I have to pay for the venue, pay for the parking, etcetera....🙄 I liked it better when all the money I tossed in the musicians collection point I knew was going to the musicians playing the music....

She got to pick the music. Presumably she had played it recently. He had to summon it from deeper in his memory, but kept up beautifully. She's so good.

All that sequence of fast notes, all played in perfect synchronization. Congrats, you are the best.

[@michaelhaslam6089]

She must have tuned her violin to the piano before playing!

[@moso299]

They both post online (he’s on TikTok, she’s on Instagram). There’s a phone on either end of the piano that captures most of the footage. You can see him adjust the one on the left to capture her in the frame. There’s also a 3rd camera just on her from her backside, and a 4th one panning around getting crowd shots. It’s possible that, during the “a few moment later” that they might have asked someone to film those (kind of like how people ask nearby bystanders to take photographs for them).

[@uptoeleven]

Nope, he's playing that by ear cos he messes up a few times: not picking holes, just saying this is impromptu, it's raw and unrehearsed music is all the more charming when its raw and unrehearsed, that, right there is pure music. Also people claiming it was planned cos they were tuned together - the piano's in concert pitch and they get tuned fairly regularly otherwise they sound dreadful. And the Royal College of Music is a couple of stops away from St Pancras on the tube so she's probably fresh out of lectures / class / rehearsals - so the violin will have had no chance to go out of tune. As for other camera angles, other witnesses may well have contacted him afterwards with their copy of the performance. It doesn't feel staged to me, when they're staged it feels a lot more contrived.

[@sixstarhorizon295]

​@@uptoeleven Also, it literally takes two seconds to tune the violin to the same pitch as the piano, if it even was out of tune.

There is just something about the act of making music WITH someone that really does dissolve barriers and create instant rapport between members of the fraternity.

Not only will you meet and interact people with whom you might not otherwise have had a common point of reference, but they tend to be interesting, intelligent and accomplished in their own way.
