Well, he obviously is not sight reading it. He studied and probably performed it before.

Don’t ruin it

well it's not his first tango lol

@@Quotenwagnerianerexactly what I was gonna say 😮

@@QuotenwagnerianerIf he is sightreading it I wouldn’t be surprised. They probably did some extensive kung fu violin stuff at Curtis, or something

nice choice..

congrats on the marriage ❤

The rapid bowing alternative creates this sticky resin sound - too much connective tissue, like when a guitarist slides their callouses along the strings, or a steak is too tough. The lightness is key

It's been a long time since I read a reference to twoset ❤

lol

@@quellochepotevosbagliareso long! Like 10 minutes

😂

@@M_SC I spoke for myself, not for the whole world. Maybe it's because I don't follow them anymore 😅 Have a nice day

Same here lol

Wait but it's sightreading so the judges will give you random sightreading pieces tho but I just enjoy ray's music

​@@Boojunyi1Well either way it's going to be fun watching Ray play as always. And if he does play one of my pieces I can learn something.

@@Boojunyi1ray isn’t sight reading the sight reading pieces. These are the prepared pieces

What is that??

Aguante Argentina y el tangooo

@@Maxi.Ledesma.musica Aguante!!

That sombrero broke my heart, man

I played it for my grade 6 exam and I enjoyed it so much!

I've been playing violin for about 6 months now and I learnt vibrato 3 months in... I've been wondering why other people struggle with it...mind elaborating what the issue may be?

@@SiyaTheeInertV10LIN I think I’m just a bit stiff and I also tend to hold my violin too tightly. I’ll get there, I hope! Congratulations for mastering it so quickly!

@@JaneG58 I see, hand frame is something I fight constantly too as I have small hands so I tend to strain...with regards to vibrato I recommend trying out both techniques...I found wrist vibrato to be the most natural for me

@@SiyaTheeInertV10LIN Thank you! I’ll keep at it!

​@@SiyaTheeInertV10LIN If you good at vibrato great but if you think you did good job but actually could be better then need to learn it properly. I'm not sure if your self taught or have teacher I'm adult beginner also about 15 months now haven't touch vibrato as my teacher haven't taught me yet You might be the talent people who can master things better than many others, I find many people who are naturally talented may struggle to share what they know effective they think many things are common sense why others struggle. I have friends who naturally good at other thing like photography and have friend who good at cooking naturally and they indirectly wonder why I suck at it and think I'm lazy not willing to put in enough effort when I do and I have to explain to them over 20 times they are just talented they don't understand how normal average people struggle is unless they put in effort to try understand. Took me so long for them to kind understand I'm just average person not talent for me to get quarter level okay takes me more practice and effort then them.

He already said you can't sightread the more difficult pieces, pay attention.

@@huitrecouture You can sightread any piece, you will just not be able to perfectly play it then. That is what I mean: It would be much more interesting to see how good he is when he really doesn't know the piece. I know he can play any piece if he has practiced it before, we all knew that before. And to be honest: that is also kind of what the title promises, so I was a bit disapponted that the more difficult hald was just him playing small snippets of his repertoire basically

You can sightread at piece beautifully. But definitely not at concert tempo. To process notes for the first time the music need to be slow or moderato enough to be readable. ​@@SchinkenBrother

agreed

oh, you record instead of playing live for the examiner? i guess examiners don't have the time for that even if you go to them...

Isn’t there also a theory and piano requirement? Or is that just for the music education diploma?

nahh that's insane

@@oxoelfoxo regional difference, unfortunately no examiners go to my city as its very far, so I chose to do the video exam

@@violaisreallycool yes, you should have minimum grade 5 theory and for instance if you want to do DipABRSM, you must have passed grade 8, to do LRSM you must have passed DipABRSM or equivalent examination, etc.

I think we almost always have time, but it's *energy* that's limited. Would you say that's the case for you?

@@0ia To be honest, yeah! Whenever the weekend hits, I'm so tired that I don't want to do anything but sleep, and I think that's the real issue here.

@@jocimar1625 I hope you're able to find some balance :)

I started taking a few years of violin lessons after completion of medical subspecialty training. Now semi-retired still using my medical degree, playing in a band, two orchestras and taking violin lessons at age 70. So there's hope for you. You just have to have the desire when the time presents itself. I live in a small rural town but am able to take zoom lessons from a member of the LA Phil. Thank you for your future medical service. We need good nurses, now, as well.

Honestly, even an hour a week is better than nothing if you can manage it! Getting back to my instrument is the best decision I've made in the recent years!

Good to know. I think it’s that we don’t know the difference, so thanks for pointing it out

His fans keep giving him face masks - perhaps that’s his secret

Also, the dipABRSM

For the pieces that Ray is playing here, they are actually pieces where you get to prepare at home. When you are ready to take the exam, you can either send a video to them through your teacher or go to an examination venue to play these pieces for the adjudicators to grade you. However, there is another exam in ABSRM where you have to sightread pieces which are actually significantly easier than normal grade pieces.

@@gamerzbee7886 Thanks!

Why would book 10 be too difficult?😂 book 9 and 10 are just the Mozart concertos 5 and 4. There are plenty of recordings of these so I don't think it makes much sense to record them again for the suzuki books 🙃

isn't 9 & 10 just the mozart concertis 4 & 5? in which case there are lots of great recordings i get its joke but pretty silly

As said above be, book 10 is just Mozart concertos 4 and 5… acting like a concert soloist can’t record concert pieces 🤣

I think William Preucil recorded the Suzuki books (violinist) he is a fantastic violinist whose allegations makes him considerably less publicized and known.

Ray had an album for Mozart 1-5 about 10 years back if not mistaken.
