Reasons why he plays like the frickin devil -super even and clean runs -super powerful and accented left hand pizz. -incredibly even bow work -playing it way faster that any other interpretation I’ve ever heard -nailing the tenths and thirds like it’s nothing -crazy projection -super even trills, especially on the double stop trill -somehow didn’t break a bow hair -phrasing is super on point -even vibrato -sustains the semiquaver ricochet passage in the finale -nails the flying upbow staccato on the left hand pizzicato passage -bites the violin to bring out the lower voice -plays notes way up in high positions super fast and plays them super cleanly and in-tune -chords sound very even and not-crunchy -both voices speak cleanly -nails the harmonics -trill passage sounds like a mandolin somehow I could go on forever

Communism is about distribution of wealth (as opposed to capitalism), while democracy is about distribution of political power (as opposed to autocracy or oligarchy). You can have both at the same time (but no country has archived it yet), and you can have capitalism and autocracy (or oligarchy) at the same time. In fact, most capitalist countries are not democratic. 2. What did democracy to "literally all of middle east"? Nothing, because in "literally all of middle east" there is no democracy. The only democratic country in the middle east is Israel - and this is the country with most freedom for its citizen compared to ANY country in that region. 3. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict was not started by "democracy simps". It was started by the Russian regime trying to oppress a young country striving for democracy and independence.

For example the first chord starts off with an open g and open d with the first finger for b on the a string and 2nd for g on the e string. Easy enough, but then after that he stretches the FREAKING CRAP OUT OF HIS PINKY to reach the e on the g string and his 3rd finger on the g on the d string while maintaining the 1st and 2nd finger on the b and g.

There's no evidence for existence of God. He accomplished this using practice and his innate abilities.

[@PeterGregg]

@@Pain53924 be careful there big fella, there is no evidence to prove God doesn't exist. Don't fling it just cause you are uneducated and unexperienced, the world doesn't revolve around you, in fact the world doesn't even like you at all lol, it wants to take you down and pin you to the mat. I wouldn't be all cozy and lovey dovy with it, you will and are paying the consequences heh heh.

[@Pain53924]

@@nidakaruyan7809 You assume it is a 'who' i.e. it is a being. There is no evidence to suggest that we were "blessed". You just feel this way because religion has indoctrinated you.

[@АринаРоманова-е6э]

Роман, вы потрясающе владеете скрипкой. Вы сам Паганини. Успехов вам в вашем замечательном творчестве покорять сердца слушателей.

[@pseudotonal]

WWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!! What incredible technique and intonation! I've never heard this piece before so it was a very special experience.

[@pranavhari7501]

We need this guy to perform at sports events for england

[@milos.8705]

He’s actually smiling. God Save Me. How tf does he vibrate double harmonics and make it sound so good.

[@LogioTek]

look up "Roman Kim harmonics" also known as "forced harmonics", which he pioneered, it will make sense

[@baams.5933]

Why is it that Paganini's compositions always make me feel so terrible at the violin...

[@henrykwieniawski7233]

Kragonal 88 Don't bring yourself down because you can't play these pieces yet, practice hard and well. And in the end, it will pay off, you'll see :)

[@matthewgonzalez2040]

This pieces are sadly made to show off

[@kushgroover54]

Now let me tell you about a man named Ernst...

[@mythserene]

Madmax 8792 What’s sad about it? It’s why I adore Paganini, and why I started begging so insistently for a violin at 2 that my parents finally decided to shut me down by saying I could forgo all Christmas and birthday presents for checks until I’d saved enough to buy one. And why a 2 year old did just exactly that - gave up the thrill and instant gratification of ripping open wrapped presents, year after year, for the promise of greatness the checks held - until, at age 5, my delayed gratification and unquenchable desire finally brought the tiny instrument into my hands. Only a craving that strong could make a small child give up Christmas and birthdays for years on end. The desire to be great is almost always twinned with the desire to show that greatness off. Practice your ass off, then play with wild abandon. That’s how you master Paganini, and once mastered, don’t you dare hide your light under a bushel. We all want to hear!

[@TwelfthRoot2]

Dont feel bad if you can’t play notes which aren’t real music. Focus on good intonation and quality of sound. This is more important than show pieces. Watch Augustin Hadelich play something slowly and that will be more inspirational and a better goal to aim for.

I hope now that Two Set Violin reacted to this - and his version of "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" - that maaaaany people will discover him! He has to be Paganini's reincarnation!

[@moshemordechaivanzuiden]

But even so, he had to do all the practicing because that's not inborn.

The camera work makes me feel like I have an astigmatism but the performance is nonetheless impressive.

[@samlevi4744]

The shutter speed and frame rate aren’t matched up properly and it’s causing ghosting. It doesn’t help that his playing is ridiculous fast at some points and the frame rates aren’t keeping up.

[@hamzerpanzer]

Gratulation, really great playing! Ruggiero would ask you: "How did your rosin taste on 3:21?" Violinsts & Ricci-Fans: see the transcriptions by Ruggiero Ricci & his edition of the Dvorak Concerto, as performed by him with the Sydney Symphony on OVATION PRESS ! Enjoy. To the memory of a great artist and friend...
