- TwoSet tried to get in, but were told to practice more. I challenged two Curtis students to a Sightreading Duel (where you lose your fingers). As usual, my pride could not allow me to not try my hardest. No prodigies will ever defeat me.

Thanks for watching! !🎵Join Tonic
Now do Paganini but the strings are Barbed Wire
I can just imagine some teacher walking around the classrooms and just hears this playing inside and wondering how these people got into Curtis not knowing they are doing a challenge haha
Alexandra, thanks for allowing Ray to make a bit of a fool of you; it was worthwhile because I had never heard of you and I just went to hear your real recordings. I just listened to your rendition of Bach's second violin concerto at age 13 in Poland and can only recommend that other viewers do the same. For sure I will be following your channel from now.

Ray was actually sad that he won, he didn't want to be rude to the guests
Tis basically a lingling challenge XDD; Great job to everyone involved, you guys were really amazing and made a valiant effort to deal with the handicap!
I’ve visited Alexandra’s studio a few times on tonic. It’s a joy to listen to her practice.
I like how at the end they started to sound close to my playing if I play with all fingers and something I have already practiced :D
I’m really growing to love your channel, and as an adult violinist learning for a few years and not many friends at all that like classical, its like a little social party for me to watch you do these videos. brings me so much joy! thanks Ray and everyone for watching and subscribing :D
Such a brain teasing exercise! Kudos to you all for performing and more kudos to your editor-san for revealing the real winner!
Can't wait to lose my fingers.
Imagine the teachers walking by and overhearing this without knowing it's a challenge 💀
The sad thing is that Ray playing Zigeunerweisen with only 3rd and 4th finger still sounded much better than me trying to play it with all my fingers 😅
Subscribed to Alexandra and Lingyu. Talents we'll hear from.
good to know even top music students sometimes miss accidentals 😭
That’s a fun game for a party with musicians. I‘m going to Austria for a music camp vacation and keep this sightreading challenge in mind… Great video with amazing contestants.
I laughed so hard with all the improvised fingerings... The 1 4 trill was the icing on the cake for me though xD
Right thumb would’ve been so hard to play without, imagine holding anything without your thumb
These people play better with two less left fingers than me playing with all fingers :(
