The 2 most difficult instruments to hit correct pitch, Theremin and saw, and both are played so well. Wow. Kudos. Respect. It’s beautifully done.

[@one-eyedpete3302]

Well, I'd imagine it's the same as a frettless fingerboard.

[@andrewzhang8512]

this seems a lot more screwed up though because you dint have a physical object you just have air

So enjoyed hearing this. My Scottish grandpa played the saw and performed for nursing homes. Old folks love hearing music! Now I'm getting old.

[@smashley5687]

Wow, both of these instruments seem so difficult to play without frets or proper finger placement guides. It seems a lot more personal that way though. Beautiful and inspiring! Not to mention really really cool!

[@jamesbailey3631]

Ashley Swensen I mean the whole of the orchestral string section plays without frets or finger guides...

[@rdchapman3037]

Theremin is the most difficult instrument to play. From personal experience, i would guess combine trombone and violin together for the skill set required. Plus. if you play the instrument for a while, you will notice your pitch recognition becomes much more precise. Highly recommend learning for any musician.

[@denidenichan]

I wonder why you're not famous yet! You have such a perfect ear for music and every song you perform turns out so great! You should be an international star!

[@mcblahflooper94]

Denisa StarWars Solo these kinds of instruments have only threehomes: the Internet, experimental rock music, and contemporary classical. The issue is that the monophonic properties of the instrument along with the instability of the pitch in the hands of even average players mean that it can really only be really used as a lead instrument, and the skill requirement for even basic lines is very high. Unfortunately the theremin is at a tough spot in music, which is why it’s never really been prominent. Who knows though, with the way that hip hop has been progressing into a more experimental genre, perhaps it’ll find some use there. I could see it being used for a Flying Lotus, Tyler the Creator, or even Kendrick Lamar song.

In reply to your comment, he may be talented in playing, but composing a piece is another level. What separates the artists from the orchestra is the ability to create music

[@supyoist]

+Lewis Hunt Contemporary mainstream artists, however, have little to no writing talent

[@MsAlice1964]

No truer words have ever been spoken

[@KnzoVortex]

@@supyoist Every generation hates the music of the next generation. It's always been like that, always will be. I bet you couldn't write a spectacular pop song if you spent 10 years trying.

[@FelOld]

​@@KnzoVortex Not really, pop music is dominant for decades now, It's the music of our generation and probably from our parents too. We should have nostalgia for this kind of shit, but there's people who are not like cows, and don't follow the trends only because others do. Pop celebrities also don't know how to "write spectacular pop songs", It's the reason why they pay alot to someone else to compose and write music for them. There's music "by" Katy Perry that was composed by 10 or more composers/lyricists. And for the majority of these "artists" the ghost writers/composers are the same people. I have a recomendion to everyone in this thread. Search in youtube for a monologue called "The Tyranny of pop music", by Roger Scruton. It's great.

Such a beautiful piece, and executed so we'll! Amazing example of counterpoint!

[@nutbastard]

There are some things that can only be fully appreciated from a distance because the sense of wonder and novelty remains unspoiled by any personal experience with what's on display. I was a skateboarder in my younger days, and that experience informs my enjoyment of what people are doing with the sport or artform or whatever you want to call it. I know what's involved and what's impressive and why, but as much as my comprehension is expanded by that experience, my wonder is diminished and it becomes more of a technical analysis than just a raw spectacle. But I know nothing of the Theremin or playing a saw, and so a performance like this is outside of any personal experience, and there's a magic to it that exists for me precisely because I don't know what I'm looking at. The result is objectively good, but if he were doing anything less than perfectly I wouldn't know it. As we get older there are fewer wide-eyed moments where we are locked into that state of novelty where we know we're witnessing something beautiful, but don't have the language to legitimately hold a more specific opinion than that, and in fact might err on the side of willful ignorance just to avoid cheapening it. This is one of those things.
