    There is a certain delicacy and precision in Brett's play one will find nowhere else. While respecting the bounds of the composition, he is not imprisoned by it. He finds new expressions everywhere, there seems to be no limit to his expansive interpretive skills. The instrument is incidental, the power of the music is everything.

    I really enjoyed Brett's playing. In any live or one-take performance, there is always suspense - is the player going to make a mistake? When Brett plays we have the inverse tension - is Brett going to hit a good note? He clearly has the right idea and is trying to execute correctly The instincts of a pro are clearly audible through the forest of... of.... innovative interpretations!
    Good try, Brett. I am sure you would be a fine cellist with a lot less practice than most of us would need. It is videos like this that make me glad to be alive, glad to be hearing new things, overjoyed by inspiration and ecstatic that I am not a violist.

      Not discrediting what you said as an idea. Just pointing out that part of being a pro is playing these pieces by the sheet music, I doubt hyung (the cellist) knows them by heart :) Or at least, it probably wouldn't make much difference either way

    • @euomu
      @euomu Před rokem +5

      ​@@ldkmelon He definitely knows these by heart. This is very standard cello repertoire, so even if he doesn't know the concertos by heart in their entirety, he definitely knows the iconic excerpts that were played in this video. And you're right, it wouldn't make a difference, because even if a professional cellist somehow didn't know these excerpts by heart, they're easy enough to just sightread. A much more interesting comparison would be one between an amateur cellist with 10+ years of experience and a professional in which both play a piece that's completely unfamiliar to the professional, but pretty well-studied by the amateur. 2 hours of music practice is basically nothing. Brett did relatively well because he's a violinist. It takes a normal beginner at least a year of consistent practice to get proper posture and bow hold down (not that Brett had these down, but at least he was able to read the music and sort of locate the notes on the fingerboard)

      I read there's a similar thing with the violin. It sounds like farts and board scratching at the start, and it takes quite a long time to learn the pressure to sound good.
