    That is astounding. Not just for one person to play such a long very active piece, alone, but to have two people playing it as a duet and not getting a note wrong, and then dance all around the stage. I am huffing and puffing and my heart rate is up, and all that plus then admiring the personal shape and fitness of them both. I may need to call an 🚑

      Dude to balance on those high heels is hard enough. To play the fiddle like that. While jumping and dancing on those high heels. And smiling too all the time. I can't begin to imagine how much practice went to this act.

      @sophiatalksmusic3588 Před 6 lety +5

      Kaos Although they are accompanying each other, this style of music is considered "dueling" because they're both increasing in intensity with their solos, as if they're trying to outdo each other, when they really are dueting.

    To all that are saying this is fake and that no one can dance and jump around like these two ladies and play that accurately, I have new for you: yes they can. It just takes practice...A LOT of practice and die hard dedication to do something as unorthodox as this. If you don't believe me, look up a sport called marathon juggling--yes, it's a real thing--and see if that's "fake" as well.

      Though now that i mention it it could also be from Celtic Tiger or Feet of Flames...these 2 are in most Michael Flaherty productions. Still great though
