As a musician reading through the comments I must say that talent like this doesn't come from natural abilities!! These kids have clearly dedicated a tremendous amount of time to practicing both this piece and their technique; so please do not feel discouraged after watching this video!

[@nyxora4445]

viola had deeper voice than violin because they're bigger than 4/4 violin, most simple explanation. 2 years😭

[@uselessamerican984]

Violas have a lower range then violins. Violins have the (in order from lowest to highest) G,D,A,E. The violas in order from lowest to highest are C,G,D,A

[@chardeemacdennis357]

fucking same bro!!

[@noahwhite-telles5570]

Viola is lower pitched and usually bigger because of that. Because it is so awkwardly large, it is a lot more uncomfortable to play than the violin. Typically in the orchestra, the viola fills in the notes in the middle alto register between the violin and cello, but occasionally gets lovely melodies and solos. Violists often get the reputation that they sound bad because it's difficult to play. She does a tremendous job here clearly!

[@cliffsandifer3877]

Viola burn longer than violin cause it's bigger ( it's a joke... posters..😅 in poor taste?)

[@vladislavstepanuga4001]

People say they are very jealous and think they will never be able to play like that, but in all reality this duet probably practiced this specific piece for a year, or perhaps a year and a half. Its no wonder they are performing this at a superior level!

[@DelaneyStudios]

It doesn't take that long, it is the exercises and other pieces that enable your progression to a higher level. Focusing on developing through levels is the key, not length of time spent on a piece, Concerto's take longer because they require 45 min or so to perform; usually a year of practice or longer depending on the complexity, try Vieuxtemps.

[@vladislavstepanuga4001]

DelaneyStudios I agree, but considering this duet is averagely 15 years old respectively, they do not share the "level" of a professional musician. Perhaps it won't take as long as a year for this piece I agree, but for sure longer than older musicians.

[@DelaneyStudios]

Vladislav Stepanuga However; I am older, more than 40. I have been contemplating this piece, it would take me 2-3 months max. (viola or violin) If I practice regular. Actually, they sound a bit youthful and forced; I say that with a grain of salt. However, they have virtuoso qualities. I rather enjoyed their performance and interpretation. Many people do not understand the complexity of the performances of the professionals; they usually surpass their audience with many innuendos. Obviously the violist is leading; her performance is more mature; however, He demonstrates plenty of musicianship, duet-ness...and understanding of projection and tone. They did great. you need the ability to play flying spiccato, agility and speed for a complete range of scale performance. The greatest challenge is I believe the speed of harmonic scales near the end. Her viola is awesome, and she is keen to his rhythm. Notice this piece was memorized. All students will memorize their music automatically if you give it to them in small pieces, without notes written in the music. etc.

[@maestroviolin]

Students in Yewon School usually are too busy to practice it for one year. They have many concerts and exams. I guess that 2-3 months are enough for them.

[@DelaneyStudios]

I was referring to middle and High School students. I appreciate your comment; that is normal for music school students, and those that have proper music pre-training backgrounds. Point well said.

This is the best version of Passacaglia I have found.

[@lloydblunden6020]

A thoroughly compelling composition and performance of it. At first I thought they were accompanied by an orchestra. But it was just the two of them filling the space with magnificent sound. The piece is a sequence of sections, each having a variation of a cadence. And each section expresses a new character. They nailed each one with total commitment. I had to listen to it again. This is for sure one of the best performances on this site. And there are some good ones.

Coming back to this video after a few years - it is still the most intense version I have heard. First time I heard it was the classic recording with Perlman / Zukerman, after that I don't know how many I have heard... but this one sticks to my memory! Very well done.

[@AlexDoesntArt]

Already since the beginning of the video the players are really distinct. Mr. SunJae, playing the higher pitched instrument while Ms. Hayang playing the lower pitched instrument. He is playing the violin like he was really hugging and caressing it as he coaxes the beautiful sounds his violin can make, while she seems like she's truly bending and stretching her viola to its true potential to produce such an amazing quality of music! Together, they are like the truest forms of what we would now say 'not conforming to the mould made by society'. As a fellow violinist, I truly adore and fangirl over the communication that musicians have when they play music together. Every intake of breath, every eye contact, every step taken, bending towards or away from each other, up and down bowing, like clashing of swords that ends up harmoniously complementing each other, i just-- argh

[@tungerhong792]

Being as this piece was originally written for one instrument, it is key that all performances of the duet version sound like it is coming from one instrument which is done excellently in this recording.

Naff that. Play it on a harpsichord as the composer intended!

[@mcpandawaffle]

Stephen Hooker well I don't own one and I have no intention of buying one. I like it on violin viola better anyway.

[@silverword111]

Andrew Ohler ahahhahaa we know this is a lie. anyways, youre supposed to lock your elbow when youre playing fast so that you automatically are forced to play a short-ish note.

[@mcpandawaffle]

silverword111 whats a lie? Thanks for the advice anyway

[@zelus7399]

this is my favorite recording of this piece, all the others were very stiff, you can tell that these kids are poring their hearts into it! This inspires me to work harder to play with as much passion as them.

[@jordannelson8267]

She went so hard on that alto line...! Salute and shoutout to the violists around the nation (coming from a violinist)

[@frecklebear2682]

[@oozeguysway494]

classical experts are expressing their passion in music in the comment section, me on the other hand "what, violin & viola are two different things?" 😂... god bless them for their talents & dedication

[@josechrist3948]

I think we are in the western world far below this high standard of performance and music-teaching, my highest adoration for this beautiful young people!

[@PepeHerreraH]

At 35 years old, I have started to learn to play the viola. This was beautiful! An inspiration to continue learning

[@sku11vrr]

My sister used to play violin but she plays viola. But she is in high school rn and she can’t join orchestra. So she decided to do archery. When I was a little younger than her she was in 5th grade when she did orchestra I was in 3rd. I wanted to play too because I saw my mom was proud of her and I wanted my mom to also be proud of me. So I joined orchestra in 5th grade my sister told our orchestra teacher that I wanted to join. And ofc our orchestra teacher said yes. So I started to play the viola Bc my sister switched to the viola. I picked viola so she could help me so I can be good in my class. Now I’m in 7th grade and I still play orchestra I’m really happy I decided to join:)

[@sanghertz]

[@tashas2654]

Best Passacaglia I’ve ever seen. They seems like feel the music and each other.

[@samg8761]

Beautiful playing, great tone, good ensemble. Gifted young musician obviously and bravo to their teacher.

[@empireentertainmentevents1353]

This is a VERY hard piece to play on the Viola. A lot harder than for the Violinist!

[@Sho-xt3bv]

Why is it hard?

[@empireentertainmentevents1353]

Hi Spaceturtle! Yup. Good Violists will tell you how hard it is to play this piece. Only egoists will question this.

[@mcpandawaffle]

Can you tell me why its harder? I played both parts but transposed for violin. I thought the violin part was much more difficult with far more complex sections. The only difficulty i had with the viola part was the large intervals where i had to change string quick and thats mostly because of the transcription. I am not an "egost" i just want to know why you think it was harder...

[@mcpandawaffle]

[@mcpandawaffle]

EMPIRE ENTERTAINMENT & EVENTS seriously, i just went back to play the viola part and it is significantly easier than the violin. Seriously, argue with me the viola part is harder because i dont get it. The first line the viola plays half notes while the violin play sixteenth and eighth note double stops and the next line the viola gets a bunch of eight notes while the violin plays again double stop thirds. The next line is LITERALLY the easier version of the violin part in the following variation! Thats just the first page, i can go on why the violin part is twice as hard as the viola. Tell me, i REALLY want to know how the viola part could br any harder besides like 2 or 3 sections
