- Hungarian Dance #5 by Johannes Brahms.
Arrangement for Double Bass and Piano by Lev Weksler. Performed by Lev Weksler and Shlomo Leiderman. I believe that we are the first to perform this on Double Bass and Piano.
This Musical Piece originate from my "Popular Classical Miniatures" collection. I used a 5/8th solo Bass, with an extended fingerboard and high solo Corelli strings.
Im a violinist and seeing this man shift up on a bass makes my fingertips hurt
Khiara Nalupa i play bass it doesnt hurt unless its on the E string
shift so high some more
me too fdjbgo
Considering the bandages on his fingers, he probably understands.
Cheyenne Brown the lowest string?
I recently had to play this at an all state concert, but I'm a violinist and seeing a bassist pull this off is astounding
Ethan Shelley UM WAS THAT IN NC CUS I THINK I SAW IT!!!!!
@@Jonathan_Kositsin Is it standard that this song not be played on the 1st finger position? Like how do people know to play it further up the string or on the next string?
I played this song in 7th grade in my school orchestra
MeepKid What instrument do you play?
@@papertoweldispenser9227 viola gang
people: songs intended for cello/viola/violin are almost impossible on bass
this guy: hold my drink
Rowan Jin lmaoooo
You ment r/holdmybeer ?
FemYeah r/hmrb (hold my root beer💀
Hold my vodka
FemYeah were on CZcams not reddit.
That awkward moment when you're so good at the bass that people think it a fake computer generated recording.
It's not because I'm so good, it's because they're so bad!
Makes sense
Lev Weksler well it does kinda sound auto generated because it doesn’t ring like an actually instrument 😐
The PaintBucket at least the Piano does...
@@thepaintbucket1231 I listen a computer too
I can’t even play my open strings in tune
Lol
Thats sad
you need help my friend
I don't even play double bass, I play violin
Haha me neither
I've never heard someone hit high notes on a double bass so well. They always sound so washed out and crackly, but this sounds very crisp.
I think he mentioned he uses special strings because most of the music he plays is geared toward the violin.
@@deejdeej9258 he does and has confirmed
Double bass is so hard
@@santiagobenitez1388 Lmao no he absolutely does not. Also autotune isn't magic, it can't fix shitty sounding original recordings
@@santiagobenitez1388 you should get your ears checked. He has live performances on his channel if you'd like to check. It's curious how you're apparently the only person picking up on this
as a student of bass this is outstanding. What a master.
ssaBssaB rehtorBBASS watch one of his life videos it's not fake just some weird post editing
Marvin Wonders he literally records the audio separately, edits it, and plays it over the video. This isn’t live or real per se
I am a Double Bass student too and that is insane. (I am hungarian too😂)
You sir have earned my respect.

As a high school bassist, I just have to say that those chords are heavenly and this guy is absolutely amazing. My section just sends his videos back and forth to each other, wondering if we'll ever be that good. He makes this song, which was actually written for high strings, sound easy for a bassist, and I can tell you it's not.
i like the way your fingers dancing on the fingerboard
Amazing. I don't know or care about technique. All I know is this sounds incredible. YOU are incredible. Thank you for posting.
Thank you Naiya
Wow! This is very impressive in my eyes as an 11-year old bass beginner! You are my idol!!
Charu S same here
ikr??? :D

Same! I am 11 am started playing the bass around 9 months ago.
Same!
The mark of the virtuoso... to make it look easy, like anyone could do it.
I seldom venture into thumb position. As Clint Eastwood once said in a movie- " A man's got to know his limitations." Thankfully, Mr. Weksler doesn't seem to have many. I just sit here and watch this, smiling broadly. Thank you, Lev, for sharing your gift.
THE PIZZICATO SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN
when will I be able to play like this?
Much sooner than you think, if you'll be serious about.
Marie Camacho I'd say 5 years if you have a high quality bass, strings and training.
Lev Weksler how long have you been playing for? I'm in the Eighth grade, taking private lessons, and hope to go to Julliard school in New York City, which is extremely challenging to get into.
Marie Camacho
Anyone can play it like this.
I'm somehow getting there, the only issue is I can't produce the sound very well when I go up high on the fingerboard. D:
I think that it depends on how you train and how your teacher teaches you. I've had bass lessons for 8 years and still practise about 3 hours a day but the training never got me somewhere because my teacher hold me back. So the lessons got waisted. Now I follow lessons from someone else and there is really good process 🙃.
People complain when an electric bassist has too much technique and say they should just play guitar. I'm waiting for someone to say that this guy should just play violin. He's great.
Thank you Nelson. I don't play the violin but I mostly play violin music.
the best version i've ever listened !
absolutely stunning
This is truly a wonderful performance both visually and its BLOWN my mind
Just amazing.
absolutely beautiful.
absolutely marvelous
Such a great sound !!!
simply amazing
Wow. How beautiful
The bow-wrist is so perfect! Oh my god!
Sir no words.I stand dumb.Thanks from heart and a lot.India.
Wow, it's amazing! Greetings from Hungary!
your music is oustanding!
Just a few days ago saw you on a video and I can't stop watching you. I really love the sound that you get, I guess that's for the way you hold bow and I would like to start doing it too¡¡
I hope you continue uploading videos. Me and my teacher like to see you.
! Hi ¡ from Colombia.
I excuse for my English. Have a nice Day¡
+Jose Fernando Marmolejo Alzate Thank you Jose. It isn't about the bow. I use high solo strings and high positions. Plus my own techniques and fingering.
+Lev Weksler Hello . I play the violin and you have inspired me to learn the double bass as well . I feel sad that quite a few number of people play this beautiful musical instrument . By the way can i know what is the red thing attached to the bridge of your double bass ?
Natasha, thanks a lot for your kind words. On the one hand, I am glad that I have inspired you learning to play the double bass, and on the other, I feel very responsible for your inspiration. Most bass players are combining their love for the bass with a practical benefit, i.e., good paying job in the orchestra (I am not against the art of orchestral performing), but my technique is designed for a solo playing (High solo tuning, extended fingerboard, personally developed technique). Of course, it is possible to combine both, but it would take extra efforts. The red thing attached to the bass is the tuner.
+Lev Weksler Oh you're welcome ! Thank you for replying ! I could watch you play all day
+Lev Weksler Your Czardas solo touched my heart and you made me learn how to play it in the violin ;-);-);-)
Another impressive performance!!!
I am in utter awe. Magnificent.
Thank you Valeria!
This, is amazing. Wow.
The sound is so richhhhhhh ❤❤
MARVELOUS!!!!
You are incredible !😍
Superb! absolute control
Sooo awesome!! 💜💜
Im soooo impressed that this was done on doublebass. Very impressive!
Wow who knew that a double bass could sound so nice. I keep watching this vid and it always strikes me how you make the best sound on the top of the finger board. You are honestly the most talent double bass player I’ve ever seen!😊
Beautiful... Best regards from Mexico City. 🇲🇽❤️✨
Love this song
I am speechless with awe. Absolutely beautiful - and minbd-blowing.
Thank you so much 😊
I am curently studying double bass and my new goal is to play like you someday, sir
The sound of that bass!
Awesome!!!
w o w. amazing. i love how the pianist looks so done and tired.
i love the deep ring of the bass
Magnificent stuff.
Amazing performance 👍👍
This is amazing I enjoyed this well done!
Brilliant !!!
Fantastic playing!
LOVE IT!
Magnífico!
As a bassist, I can respect this man so much
Congratulations, guys. That was great. You're more than amazing musicians.
Bravo 👏
Amazing!
To say great - is to say nothing to this performance. He’s so virtuoso 👍
Wow that was really Good!!
The best song in the world
wonderful
I love ... I like it ...
This is amazing! As a bassist, I'm in even more awe at this astounding playing. Awesome job!
Bravo! 😮
¡¡INCREDIBLE IN 2019!!
Awesome
This sounds nearly identical to artificial software. And before you are offended, by that I mean this is the clearest I have ever heard a bass played. Truly masterful.
It is so wonderful to see the enjoyment on your face as you play! Every once in a while, you get this tiny smile, and it starts to light up your face. I think that's something a lot of so called "musicians" are forgetting nowadays. They seem to be going through the motions just to get the views. If *you* enjoy the music, your audience will too. Wonderful performance! Congrats on earning yourself another subscriber! :)
As a player of stringed instruments, watching the bass players left hand is fascinating
I've never know that the double bass sounds so good until I saw his video. Great job!
Very good!
This is amazing! I might learn how to play this when I'm done with my piano lessons. Don't believe anyone who says it's fake, because IT'S TOTALLY NOT.
it is fun to watch :D bravo!
It’s emotional
Ioved this, well I never thought I'd say it, but that's what made me love music, the joy of it, all over again. Like the first time.
This isn't him really playing it at 0:50 his bow lifts off of the string and you can still hear the notes like if the bow was on the string there is no ring it's as if he never lifted his bow when he clearly did.
It's resonant
Первый раз в жизни вижу контрабасиста-виртуоза такого класса! Контрабасист-виртуоз - это единичный случай в мире. В Москве был один человек, претендовавший на звание контрабасиста-виртуоза - Родион Азархин - но то был крайне специфический случай. У него были гигантские руки (акромегалия) и играл он далеко не так безукоризненно чисто и совершенно. Как случилось, что мы о Льве Векслере ничего не знали? Видимо из-за его специфического жизненного пути: родился и жил в Житомире, играл с братом-аккордеонистом в ансамбле, потом уехал в Израиль, потом переехал в Нью-Йорк. Необходимо написать о нем книгу - контрабасистам она будет крайне интересна!
Genial!!!!
I feel like double bass players are underestimated, me growing up always being a biased violin player, as soon as I started college I had more of an appreciation for other instruments.
Wow 💕💕💕 maestri!!!
Amazing
Why does the bass sound like parts of it was edited or cut or something, im not sure.
carl wheezer he records it before hand, and then plays alongside it for the sake of the video. but when recording the audio he did actually play the piece with a double bass
I think its just a bit of video delay and the microphone cutting out for a split second. The bass doesnt sound weird at all, it actually sounds like a high quality one. It's also evident hes been playing for decades (look at this his hand fingers they r flat cause of callouses and he has wondeful posture). I have played in an orchestra for 9 years, ur ears become tuned to pick up on that stuff pretty quickly.
Edit: I just read a comment and his reply. He says he uses high solo strings and he had an extended finger board. High solo strings give it a different sound to reach certain notes. So I guess that's why it sounds weird to you guys, but it's nothing abnormal :)
@@dangerderpycake4791 yeah he is for sure very experienced, but that makes sense
It sounds so funny! It's like a strong bodybuilder is trying ballet, it's kinda clumsy and funny! But still, you mastered it and gave pretty colors on the bass, truly amazing, lifted my mood!
Wonderful
People often watch the left hand of the right handed muscian. Watdch their dominant hand - their right hand to really get a feel for their groove
Que claro es tu sonido, hermoso🎉🎉
Wonderfull
this is so cool I'm a 6th grade bass player and this is amazing I hope I will get this good with my double bass
Grande contrabaixista, muito criativo, profissional...
I am a bassist and you are my idol
perfect
Wonderful rendition of this piece! I enjoyed your interpretation of a traditionally violin piece.
@@dragosfilip3473 Thank you for correcting me. I've really only ever heard Hungarian Dance #5 in arrangements/duetssolos/ etc that highligh or center on violin. Obviously this is an arrangement written for double bass and piano.
It's fantastic how that musician can play the acoustic bass. It is an amazing composition.
MY BASS IDOLLL
Came back to watch after like a year and holy fuck lol better than I remembered absolutely amazing
sameee
perfect legato
bravo!!
I love balkan music!
