Viola: The tolerant older brother of violin.

[@MaryAnn_007]

It's actually a baby cello. ;)

[@DimenXionVR]

A cello is a big viola. Viola was the first instrument

[@mangocrochets]

This video made me remember how I started on the viola, like after 10 years of violin. I sounded just like Eddy, just kinda scraping the surface of the strings... I immediately heard my teacher saying "put more weight on the strings with your hand, you're barely tickling it" 😂😂 or "you sound so violin-like"

[@ViolaKing]

I’ve been there too, was a violinist for 12 years before finding my true voice

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

How many years of each instrument?​@@ViolaKing

[@agente_08]

i am a cellist switching to bass, and while it is not the same thing, i can relate to the bow weight thing, as my teacher is always telling me to put more weight into the string. i also struggle with the low a and e strings, and while it wasnt mentioned in this comment, i’m sure that most violinists playing viola struggle with the c string.

@@agente_08 correct

[@heitron81]

Thank you very much! We need to tell over and over that viola and violin are two different instruments, even if closely related.

[@ViolaKing]

Absolutely

[@tqinteddoll]

Yes!

[@midnightmoth1]

I agree with you comment on Eddy's interpretation of the G major bach Prelude. This is actually one of my major peeves in Baroque music; so many musicians (myself seeing it in the flute community as well) will use low notes as mere stepping tools and focus on the mids and higs instead. Now, if you know anything about baroque instruments (specially futes) you know that due to their construction (connical, simple system with a single key for D#) higher notes and forked fingerings are actually quite weak in comparison to lower notes. That is what triggers me. Knowing this, if anything, the lower notes in Baroque music should be used more like a trampoline/spring (?) of sorts, to propel oneself up to the delicate mid/high registers. As opposed to a stepping stool that you merely grace with your feet and use as a safe spot to not fall over. In a nutshell, the lower register is where the real BEEF and BODY of the music is. I know, very graphic and poetic, that's my opinion, Anyway. great video, man ✌🏻💜

[@ViolaKing]

I totally agree with what you wrote about the bass notes being trampolines-sometimes literally with the bow too

[@Chesemiser]

That was a great analysis, accurate, concise, and interesting.

[@Jayspider2009]

Epic video! The explanation was definitely clear on how you could tell Eddy and Brett was not the Violist. I try to use all of your tips that you say about the Viola and I try to apply in things like this to try to see if they are actually Violist or not.

[@susanbryant6516]

Hello Viola King,I thought of you when I saw that video.😊

[@ViolaKing]

I thought of the Viola Kingdom when I saw it, knew I had to make a vid about it

[@Jayspider2009]

He is back!

[@oxoelfoxo]

yay, i hoped you'd react to this

[@MaryAnn_007]

Loved this analysis. Now I'm heading over to TwoSet to watch the vid, lol. I'm a cellist, btw, but I appreciate your passion for viola. You're also a wonderful composer & player! Keep making great content.

If the string instruments were a family: 1st Violin: The baby of the family, gets all the attention from Mom and Dad and is really popular at school 2nd Violin: The identical-twin of Vn1 (but older by a few minutes), who is a bit shier and always gets overlooked and tries constantly to gain parents’ approval Viola: The introverted middle child who only just barely tolerates the shenanigans and teasing by his younger twin brother pair and always gets overshadowed, but is very sweet and the nicest and most timid of the bunch Cello: The eldest full-blooded sibling; is the parents’ second favorite child and Viola’s favorite sibling. Is ready to throw fists with anyone who dares bully Viola or Second Violin in school (cellos are the nicest to us Violas irl) Double bass: Their half-brother from Dad’s previous marriage, whom they rarely see but all greatly enjoy having around when he visits Guitar: Their favorite cousin Piano: Their cool and popular cousin who gets all the hoes and just flexes on everyone

[@z3r0isUnknown]

this is underated XD

[@oxoelfoxo]

i'm supposing that part at the end where Eddy demos the Bartok he practiced, it would have outed him as well?

[@ViolaKing]

Probably, I thought his vibrato sounded pretty narrow and fast, same issue with the bow arm as in Bach too

[@Casutama]

I always think of you when I see videos of theirs that include the viola (which is fortunately more often nowadays). Thanks for the great explanation!

[@TheLeamonade]

Hmmm, I think they deleted the original video. I was able to find it on Wayback Machine, luckily.

[@viojoe11]

Oh no, not the cello song

[@ViolaKing]

Not the cello song played by a violinist

[@aadjumpro7461]

i still don't understand why the violists played out of tune

[@ViolaKing]

No one is perfect

[@rebekahlee7360]

Love this in-depth explanation!

[@toosmug5955]

It is in this video that we come to understand, this man is the Viola King not because he has proclaimed himself above all violists but because all violists are kings

[@nowhereman6391]

Viola!

[@libertangowu-8117]

epic🎉the real viola.king😂

[@Violin-Villain]

Funny video to watch

[@Zxouf873]

They're trying to gain fame by thrashing others shame on them

[@ViolaKing]

I didn’t think this video was mean to violists at all. Some of their content in the past was inconsiderate of violists but in this video, the fact that they featured so many violists and gave them a chance to shine made it feel overall positive to me
