TwoSetViolin with Hilary Hahn Playing Paganini’s 24th Caprice (Hula Hoops)

3/23/19 - The Kimmel Center, Philadelphia

[@LaurenKang-jh6rj]

Just noticed... Paganini has 24 caprices, right? 24 Twosetviolin. Two. 24 x 2 = 48 Paganini has 8 letters in his last name. 48 - 8 = 40 To play the 24th Caprice, you have to practice 40 hours a day. yeah... it's big brain time.

@Gabrian Wong What's so stupid about davie504

[@caitlinhartley2433]

I like how Brett and Eddy are struggling to keep hula hooping, and are all hunched over, while Hilary is just standing perfectly straight like it's the easiest thing ever.

[@lilarhixiel5505]

That could have something to do with women’s balance being in their hips and men’s being in their shoulders, it’s actually probably much harder for the guys than for Hilary :)

[@FrameMuse]

@Nathaniel Walker perfect explanation

[@Twallrion]

She's such a beautiful human, she has godlike abilities but just acts like a bro, she's a rare contribute to humanity

[@tompoore2081]

Ms. Hahn did ballet and gymnastics as a child. That may explain why she does this so well.

[@larryxiang822]

Has anyone noticed that Brett and Eddy’s hula hoops go clockwise but Hilary’s goes counterclockwise? This is because of the coriolis effect, since Australia is in the southern hemisphere and America is in the northern.

[@ryanthes9133]

Wow really? Damn

[@danthovict381]

Lol im also at southern hemisphere and when playing hula hoop always clockwise

[@oibruv3889]

I go clockwise but I'm from Britain.

[@salsabilllasalsa880]

what…

[@Sirgo_07]

who is spreading these myths? it doesnt matter which hemisphere you are from. you rotate it the way thats more comfortable for you thats it.

[@pinsk94]

Just noticed that in the first video and this video Brett and Eddy rotate the hula hoop clockwise and Hilary goes counterclockwise. Is that because twoset are from the southern hemisphere and Hilary from the northern lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joceduck]

i’m from the northern hem and i do it the same as hilary lol

[@reaganb6013]

This comment is stolen from another video lol. But it's obviously not true anyway edit a year later: sorry, the way i worded this was weird and seems rude. a lot of ppl who replied to a similar comment on another video were confused and didn't realize it was a joke, so that's why i said "it's not true". my bad, i didn't mean for this to sound rude.

[@pinsk94]

@@reaganb6013 Well I didn't steal anything, people can think of the same dumb joke. And yes it was a joke.

[@idroppedmychicken]

Must be because they’re from Australia. She’s on the right side of the road, therefore going right. They’re on the left side of the road, therefore going left. Like- obviously-

[@kadegainey5123]

[@Spookpaddas]

This is exactly the sort of performance Paganini would have applauded.

[@JoshuaSobel]

I just want to point out that Brett's LH pizz is pretty much just as good as Hahn's...

Joshua Sobel are you comparing ling ling to Hahn? Actually who would win in a fight, Hahn or ling ling?

brett probably sucked at it at first then spent all his time practicing left hand pizz so his teacher would stop yelling at him

Joshua Sobel bretts practiced it a lot. no surprise there.

@@jinglinzhang4846 no believe me it's hilary even if the violin is Chinese

[@jinglinzhang4846]

@@tamvionsr3999 Definitely, with her fearless and centered playing style, always more resonance. The violin, a copy of Paganini's Il Cannone Guarnerius, is also famously known by its power, which might help. "Paganini played on this instrument for the rest of his life, fondly calling it “my cannon violin,” referring to the explosive sound that he was able to make it produce. " P.s. The copy is actually from Vuillaume from France, not China sadly... although we copy a lot of things, not this time.

Okay, but Hilary played the chords section like no other violinist I have ever seen. Some can do the chords with up-bows but she does the chords easily with DOWN-BOWS and UP-BOWS!! I have no talent.

[@albinrose1193]

1:53 - Brett is brilliant. Then Eddy is brilliant, with an amusing 1/2 step slide up. And then Hilary is *effortlessly* stunning... All three are good, but *man,* when she comes in, you see why she's the one with the headline recognition.

i can play this BUT HOW DO U EVEN ROTATE A HULA HOOP

[@imalik131]

No you cannot liar liar pants on fire!

[@Roma-kp4qg]

The trick is to take the hula hoop to your waist, and push it to start it moving. To keep it moving, you just keep your feet planted and move your hips left and right

[@liamfrederic5203]

it’s easier with weighted hoola hoops

[@storm4974]

That is the most backwards thing I have ever heard

[@margoils]

i personally attended a s. suzuki workshop in s.f. years ago, when he brought kids from home to play his music book pieces.. and he emphasized how iimportant it was to learn the music so well, you can do another activity (like you do here) he had them turning, stepping, (stairs) bending, starting stopping groups without loosing a beat.. games to ply while performing.. so glad you two have added the fun in learning music (my grndaughter loves to watch your fun in performing) i'm teaching her to love music and love the violin... thanks guys, (note i hate the ''trick'' of PUTTING TAPE on the fingerboard - the sticky part is hard to get off, and the string will BUZZ WITH TOUCHING THE ''NEXT TAPE'' STRIP.. if you ahve to mark it with anythign, I USED ''WHITE OUT'' dots, applied by the teacher using a ''tuner'' and over time it just WEARS OFF, or it can be easily removed with fingernails... NEVER USE TAPE strips.. so tacky and so non-creative..

[@albinrose1193]

There are a thousand recordings of people playing the Caprice in silence. I liked this one for the crowd, actually - it reminded me of how in Shakespeare's day the audience at the Globe Theatre were all standing on a dirt floor, eating and drinking and hollering at the actors. It's kind of cool to see, at least this once, the audience letting the performers know *right then* how awesome they think they are.
