![Ranking PAGANINI 24 Caprices 🎻 [Difficulty Tier List]](/img/tr.png)
This is one of the most technically difficult pieces in all violin repertoire, and he is playing this as an encore after the concert, he is playing it completely flawless. Incredible. Awasome. Congratulations. by the way, many peoples asked, why is he wearing glasses is to project his eyes, in case one of the strings breaks during the pizzicatos and hits his eyes.
Wow. Like a violinist's crash helmet. This kid needs an asbestos suit in case his instrument spontaneously combusts.
he actually described in an interview they help him "perceive time slower" whatever that means
@@ratman2817 yeah, you are right, I had totally forgot about that but I just rewatched it and you are right.
"To protect his eyes in case a string snaps" Hahahahhahahahahahahhshshs
Those are his invention, prism glasses that in his words makes the time go slower.
They help focus his vision on to the fingerboard. I’ve worn them.
Can't afford a string quartet?
Paganini: No problem, I play all the sections.
Four players? Nah just four strings baby.
@@kxloux8466 he wrote all the music for himself. The 24 caprices for example are the studies that he wrote for himself.
The reason why it is so virtuosic is due to his Marten syndrome making his fingers significantly longer. This opened the door for him to perform many techniques which (at the time) had not been written for. His work was therefore ideomatically designed for himself to play.
@@adambe1126 Ah you are correct however he did not have Marten Syndrome, it was actually the Marfan Syndrome.
Yeah, pretty much.
Cant afford an octet? No problem. Paganini can play all 8 at once
roman kim is definitely putting in his 40 hours a day practice. ling ling would be proud
Twoset everywhere. Help...😂
Loved that it was the first thing I saw
Please let them react to this
@@orionwhitcher6213 lol would be awesome
Orion Whitcher I’d love to see that
Twoset officially deemed this piece as the hardest ever.
Straight up tho, have they even reacted to Roman Kim's playing yet🤔🤔
@@mateoronderos6107 no! I have replied to a few of their videos requesting them to react to Roman Kim. I guess not enough twosetters follow Roman Kim.
@@mateoronderos6107 they have to
@Michel vachon lol upload your recording then
@Michel vachon listen to his version of I Brindisi and tell me it doesn't have musicality.
czcams.com/video/t5kzdf8kUeM/video.html
He is one of the most technically brilliant young violinists today
*the* most brilliant violinist- have you seen some of the techniques he's invented?
Yeah... this guy is a PRODIGE !
@@calebhu6383 *laughs in Leonidas kavakos*
@@stamatello1995 nah man Kim is better
@@user-ww2nd4co2p it's possible, but does it really matter? they are both playing on a level that's so so high! one might argue that ziyu got the juice aswell
Dude the part from 0:30-6:00 is absolutely unreal.
0:06-0:10 was also insane
@@sreny148 ikr
@@sreny148 lol
thats litterally the whole piece 😅
@vishnu violin that’s the joke
Left hand pizz while playing tenths...yup time to quit
have you seen i brindisi? makes this look like a student warmup
@@allons-y933 FIENDISH VIRTUOSITY... love that term... well said..
@@allons-y933 I'm learning the God Save the King variations, and they are *extremely* difficult, but I'm confident that I Brindisi and Il Palpiti are considerably more difficult. They sorta hide their technical challenge, making you forget that there are 15ths, crazy artificial harmonic arpeggios, and *tremolo double-harmonics with LH pizz* at the same time.
@@allons-y933 Oh, that makes sense, I was wondering why you were thinking that I Brindisi was significantly easier. This is just from my personal experience, but the hardest variations in God Save the King are the 3rd and 5th, I can't even begin to imagine the coordination and dexterity required to do both at the same...
Scary Pumpkin yep Time to watch the Roman Kim version of I Palpiti, that would change your sentence again :)
his pinky is so long omg
Derrick Ware hi drrrick
That's one reason why he is sooo good
Didnt notice his pinky until I saw this comment. They are crazy long
It's pinkier
he made those left hand pizz looks like nothing
Roman is the 21st Century Paganini....God Save the Kim...!!!
4:20 these harmonics...
@@ValkyRiver brighter than my future
@@keadeharakazuha3521 Kim’s even brighter than your future
Jong Un
me: I want to play this
my fingers: no you don't
How does this man exist in our planet. My gosh. Absolutely amazing!!!!
He’s from Kazakhstan, where the Russians have their cosmonauts. The cosmonauts brought him back from outer space.
roman: plucks strings with his pinky at rapid pace
in his head : what should i eat later
Ok, why is your pfp different when I open your channel?
Bevsworld04 idk
Little Peperoni what’s wrong with fortnite
@@kaomink oh, just that only 9 year olds play it, the community is toxic, they are too young to play in epic games, etc.
@@mirnim yeah super toxic community
and you're right lots of them arent old enough
Two Set Thanks for gifting me the love for violin (listening to)
"I have studied violin myself and I have seen and heard many great violinists, but Roman Kim is revolutionizing the whole violin-technique. You have to go back to Paganini to find somebody that innovative and groundbreaking." - Dirk Radloff
What is most astounding of his playing is how clear the intonation is. Simply incredible!
This mans skill is beyond my understanding. May Ling Ling be proud.
Roman Kim is truly extraordinary. 4:51 gives me chills every time!
Gives me chills every time aswell!!!
Techincal difficulty 10+++++ on 1-10 scale. Played at a technical and musical level of off the scale. Left double pizz. while bowing too is insane. He's using techniques I've never seen before. His left hand is the most skilled I've ever seen. All while being musical! Mind blowing magic.
I saw you on his Beethovens performance! Definetely, if I was a mear peasant in the 19th century and people tells me 1:30 are some mermaids or banshees souls trapped in his violin, I would've had no doubt
This is by far the best rendition of this piece on youtube.
And one of the only lol
@@user-ww2nd4co2p because who dares attempt this piece, haha
@@tydeze1 true, im sure many have tried lol (including myself)
Came for the performance, stayed for the glasses
the 91 people that dislike are jealous concertmasters that can't play this
No jealous music students
*Very* few soloists can play this with such ease either.
@@ILikeBirds no. There is a reason Roman Kim is famous for this, he is abnormally good. Barely any soloists can do this.
Sure
Probably are!
Imagine some guy aspiring to be a violinist was like "hmmm, i like this piece. I think I'll learn this first"
The most beautiful performance of this God Save the King I have seen and heard!
Flawless, effortless, inspiring, legend goes on... Violin solo has a bright future on you, Roman 👍
Did this pop up in anyone's recomended after twoset did the video about this being the hardest piece?
OMG exactly like does CZcams want to destroy my self esteem that bad....
@@evax8660 I KNOW
yes
It's nice that roman is getting more recognition indirectly (but I Brindisi is the harder piece haha)
Yes, and I'm curious about why they mentioned Chaconne but didn't Molinara by Paganini 😄😄😄
It’s crazy to think that Paganini was so good that it drove him to compose this...
God save Twoset Violin
Amen
I thought of having a violin. Now this guy inspired me to not to even think about it.
How is it going?
Twoset also ended the same with the outstanding performance of professionals and prodigies.
R.I.P. self esteem
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am blown away every time I see you play. You are a living Paganini.
Did Paganini compose pieces so no one else could play them?
Your extraordinarily long fingers help... This was one mind-blowing performance.
Confused Brits be like : "Kinda sounds like the national anthem, kinda not!"
😂
Isn't their national anthem ode to joy
@@bait5257 No, our national anthem is “God save the king/queen” depending on the current monarch
@@lighting7508 it changes?
@@bait5257 well only the word “king” changes to “queen” but the anthem stays the same 🙃 when Paganini composed this, a king was the monarch, nowadays we sing “God save the queen “
@@lighting7508 thx
ARE THOSE VIOLIN GLASSES????
Prism glasses, believed to enhance self control and cerebral activity or something along those lines.
@@kasper6873 nah its just normal glasses its so the string doesn't poke out his eye
waiting to get r/woooosh-ed
@@andrewzhang8512 you just got r/wooosh-ed
@@andrewzhang8512 he actually said in an interview that these glasses help him play faster, because he says it feels like time passes slower when he uses them
@@christianrupp4006 i guess it's like one of those things that pros do to be consistent with their things. Like they do specific things to put themselves in the right mindset. They program the action with the mindset. For example, tennis players bounce the ball in a specific way or they spin their racket before a serve to get in the right mindset for playing.
This Young musician is really unbelievable! And when he is playing everything seems to be child's play! Paganini himself could not have played more perfectly!
By far the best rendition on CZcams.
This is the best live version that I have heard, because it captures the devilishness and the demonic.
The glorious and the holly as well. This piece was the biggest FU to the crown and the catholics back in the day. It was like Michael Angelos chapel
And I thought brett was good at left hand pizz
he is, there are people who are also better than him
@@snickydoodle4744 ik it was just a joke
Long love perfect pizz boi
Ay you're from Raychen violin
@@pradyumnanr3680 yo is that prady 😳
Remember: When playing Paganini, always use safety glasses. (JK... awesome performance congrats).
Yes, because of the sparks!
That made me laugh 😂
That's actually special glasses made by Roman kim himself
I didn't even know violins could make some of those sounds! Like at the part that starts somewhere around 5:15 I was like what??? How?!?! I'm not a violinist but that looks and sounds downright impossible, AND YOU HAVE GREAT DYNAMICS ON TOP OF IT. This is unearthly in how awesome it is!!! I know I'm 7 years late or so but I had to say something lol.
That's not the hardest part of this piece
It’s called ricochet and Paganini has a piece (his 1st caprice) composed almost solely by them
This part is very difficult, but I don’t think it is the most difficult one
Ricochet (like slurred sticatto)
That's funny that this is probably easiest of these variations (if you can call anything easy in this sheet)
It’s called “Alien Invasion: take me to your leaders or I’ll zap this miserable planet into oblivion”
He possesses an infinite sensibility of music.
This a live performance. Only a violinist knows how hard it is to play this piece on a stage. Paganini would be proud of you.
Good grief, who is more of a savage, Paganini or this mad lad who managed to to learn this piece?
I mean Paganini wrote it too, so I think he gets the one-up here.
yes
I can't believe how good this is, when you think how challenging the sound, acoustic, lighting must have been!
4:11 that’s amazing! He’s so talented!
Amazing I admire you and your pure talent. I will practice 40 hours now!
He should honestly play this at the Queen’s funeral
Если договорятся о цене - надо бы содрать с Виндзоров так некисло - чтоб знали, как грабить мир...
This is not a piece of the dead 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣, this is the UK national anthem.
This man has unreal skill. Amazing.
Every time I listen to Roman I am shocked that he isn’t in the discussion as one of the very best violinists in the world. The man is the second coming of Paganini.
This is amazing on so many levels.
3:30 I never knew you could do that on a violin. 5:14 I never knew you could do that either! :D
You don't know pizzicato, you don't know arpeggio, so do you know what violin is or who Paganini is? :))
Yeah at 5:14 its an incredible hard technique called cross string ricochet 😐
@@alicanersin4614 quite the condescending asshole, arent you?
@@alicanersin4614 excuse me, this is quite aggressive
5:14 is a good exercise for getting very good at sweep picking quickly if you dare try it on a guitar
TwoSet fandom is gonna dominate this comment section....... Soon...
Hahahaha trueee
It already has
Legend has it that twoset cannot mention his name without Roman being conjured in flame and torturing them with Dounis exercises.
5:14 bow control so good that you can hear almost every note
Bow Control is over the roof and then there’s his left hand
Paganini : I pay for those strings, I've gotta play all of those
He oído muchas versiones de Dios salve al Rey pero en mi opinión es la versión más hermosa, afinada, y perfecta que he oído, su sonido es inconfundible, la primera vez que oí está pieza fue en una radio de música clásica en fm aquí en Venezuela, y sin temor a equivocarme creo que esa versión es la de este joven. Genial de verdad.
Bravo. Excellent. I'm a big fan of yours, 로만.
Twoset has to react to him
:)
:)
haha they just did
They did
Which they did
Watched this and reminded me I should be practicing so bye bye
How have I not heard of this guy?
Virtuoso in such young age. How cool!
Never even got a chance to pick up my jaw until the video was over
About as tough as it gets for violin here. Great performance.
yea. im wondering if he will play last rose of summer :)
7xrking about the same level as this piece ...those two are probably the most challenging among the repertoire..and maybe erklong Schubert Ernst hehehe
hdirtwater haha, you should see the pieces he composed
@@dogpaw814 not Erlkönig is really not in the same league here. Maybe Nel Cor piu non mi sento (paganini) or the sauret cadenza to paganini first violin concerto
his own compositions are much harder
Who is here after the two set?
me lol
Bro
Hi
Me!
Yooo
Definitely the best violinist on earth
More like, God Save the Violinist
The result of a lifetime of dedication, fantastic.
how many hours a day does he take to polish that one fine-tune?
40 hrs a day.
Beautiful, really exited to see so many videos posted lately!
Simply unbelievable but believable because I saw it and I heard it.....
Great control of phrasing and timing of pauses for such a techincally demanding piece
4:10 wtf happened how did he do that?
I think he pizzicato-ed the harmonic right there, but got that funky sound by lifting his finger at the same time he plucked the note (E6)
@@josephotoshi Never seen that before!
Oh yes, before I leave, I thought I could play one of the hardest, most technically demanding pieces ever written for this instrument. Just like that, as a spicy encore.
Damn.
Great musicality and the best technique in the world.
he saved the king
So outstanding!
Quelle expression puissante pour une oeuvre aussi difficile, bravo monsieur Kim
GOD SAVE THE KIM .)
This has got to be the peak of human ability.
Paganini’s bravura. Extraordinary mind and hands seem to be more than equipped for the demands of this piece, and it’s not at all difficult to imagine Paganini playing his ‘Il Cannone Guarnerius’ when you hear this.
God save the violinist ;)
(I am a violinist who, hearing this, is amazed... like seriously)
Amazing! Thanks so much for posting!
Such beautiful playing!!! Love it!!! But your eyes are okay???
Amazing, as always
I noticed his long fingers. Is this Marfan's? This condition was a factor in Paganini's skill.
It could be. Long fingers are just one physical aspect. Marfan is actually a connective tissue disorder that can sometimes result in elongated fingers.
This is definitely not marfan
Not marfan, i think
I think that those glasses gives him the power to play like that
O melhor violinista do mundo !
Concordo
Una obra de Paganini de quién más!!!? Hasta hoy no lo hay
A piece so insanely hard, it's said that no one can actually play it as written. Even Hahn leaves out the hardest Pizzs.
Super.... Hello Roman from Venezuela
Those double stop left hand pizz while playing a melody has me dying internally
5:14 holy crap. That is all I can say.
Fantastic!!!!
¡¡¡ Magnífica Interpretación !!!
Niccolo Paganini: How strong should we make your pinky?
Roman Kim: *YES*
wow. wow. wow. now that's next level talent. Brava👏👏👏
This is so crazy that I forgot to breathe
H's spectaclar, wonderful and brilliant. Brave boy!...
boy? he is 28, I thought he was younger too lol
Bravissimo. Eccellente performance 👏👏
Wow, that ricochet was so clean!
amazing
Yeah... TwoSet.
