Maravilloso❤

What fun you guys are having. I am jealous that at this point in my life I can't enjoy this type of competition except vicarious. Thanks for this joyous journey. Play on!

❤

Ahhh I always watch one of your videos before my studing...its always imspiring! Thanks Illia.

D Major is very bright, happy and heartwarming! Reminds me of loving moments.

Great!

Once you get into the Circle of Fifths and look at how violin, viola, and cello are tuned, in makes sense that most music written for these instruments is written in the major keys of C, G, D, A, and some E. Not only are songs in major keys generally happier sounding than songs played in minor keys, these major keys take advantage of open strings that resonate and help produce a more rounded sound. Fingerings for these major keys (especially in first position, which most students learn initially) are relatively straightforward and do not require as many extensions/shifts as songs played in other major keys (such as F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, etc). These major keys use half positions and extensions more frequently, so they require a bit more technical mastery so are not as easy for beginners to learn. Since children usually start off with familiar, happy pieces, it is more natural for them to be written in C, G, D, and A major.

super interesting. In eastern music specifically Indian Music a Raga is a set of notes intended to invoke a different emotion, we definitely don't think about this coming from the western classical tradition of performers! Thank you!

What about the scordatura in the Sarabande of the 5th Suite? It seems that you didn’t use the higher g-string (i.e. the downpitched a-string) at all…

Amei!

Only a GOAT will mention this. So, thank you! ❤

Which key do you like the most?

You are pointing to something terribly real : each scale is a world of its own. This seems strange because all notes are related to each other and can be the same in various scales. However, playing D major scale or piece is very different from Dflat major. On my cello, scales with more than 2 flat signs (starting with Bflat major and further) have a peculiar softness. I love Dflat on the G string and Gflat on the D string: funny, they cross each other! Thanks for drawing our attention to the colorful ness of the cello. It is a marvelous instrument!!

Dude, you're so into it, I like it so much ! Very useful tips :)

G and D are common for folk songs. Possibly for bright inviting sound.

THANK YOU!! Brilliant. I never thought about it like this. Now I’m inspired to play scales.

B worked the least well by a considerable margin: beginnings of rapid notes were not clean, overall a bit scratchy tone. Between A and C there was not an obvious difference in quality, but I would give a slight preference to A which seemed to give a darker sound in your hands. Speaking of hands, a valued senior colleage once advised me that if you are trying bows and having someone else play bows for you to, you should only listen to the first five seconds of each bow. After that, a good player adjusts to the bow and you are hearing the player more than the bow. I certainly thought you sounded very much like yourself on all three bows, though I'm sure they felt very different to you.

I'm at about level 4-5, I'm 14 with about 2.5 years of playing (8 months with private teacher).

Ken burns every time..

Is there a full version. I love watching classical musician playing.

It's obvious that bow C is the lowest quality one when u play the fast running passages. The clarity and responsiveness are definitely less. Between A and B, a bit harder to tell, though, during the slower pieces, A seems to have a bigger projection. I guess the sound based on video is subpar, but the cellist will know the difference in ease of playing. Truth is, you sounded great with all 3. As a cello student, I guess I have to continue to practise hard cos the player is the key to how the music sounds

For me C major sounds as out of tune. So B flat for me

WOW I PLAYED FOR A COUPLE YEARS AND WAS A NATURAL ...I REMEMBER MARATHON S AND LOVE SUZUKI AS WELL .I WAS HUMMING ALONG WITH EACH ONE AND GOT LOST SOMEWHERE IN LEVEL 8 AND GOT THE NOSTALGIA FROM THE weekly schedule for orchestra...... Amazing how much classes will start a musical anthology in your mind for life!😂❤

I would love to see a video going over how it practice trills from 2nd finger to 4th and 3rd to 4th. Those seem to be the trickiest to me

Did someone see it in x2 speed? :D

Gracias 👌👍

I like the clarity of the 2021 cello and the big open vibrant sound. However the 1763 drew me in with subtle nuances and more lyrical / operatic sound in the upper registers. Both amazing instruments. Makes me wonder what the playability is like between the two instruments and what the 2021 may be able to produce after it has been played in for many years.

i think bow C is the most expensive one，B is the cheapest

First. ❤I feel it in my heart. but the second one feels stronger in the pit of my stomach, so I suppose you could play different versions depending how you want the audience to react emotionally 🥰

I like bow B

Mestre, difícil, com sua virtuosidade, dizer que algum deles produz um som pior. Porém, prestei bastante atenção e acertei os 3. Principalmente nas notas curtas notei pequena diferença no arco C. Nos arcos A e B, acho que acertei por intuição. Obrigado pelo vídeo instrutivo !!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🌷

Team Yuki got 100% correct!

3:05 I have stickers 😁 Just a few tiny ones on the side of the fingerboard so they're not visible from the front.

I had that experienced that when I spent 5 hours trying different cellos! The last cello( which I didn’t know the price, when I first picked it up!) It played like butter and seemed to say, “Don’t worry, Ken, I’ve played that Ab thousands of times!” It was incredible. Then I learned that it was built in around 1786 and had a price tag of $178,000.00!

The value of a bow is in the ease of drawing the maximum sound, without exertion, from the cello. Responsiveness vis a vie spicatto, staccato etc. AT all volume levels is imperative. I had a Lupot which was magnificent for solo work, but allowed me to be overbearing when playing chamber music. The proper bow is essential to perform to the demands of the performance. Great topic. Keep up the challenging and thoughtful presentations.

❤

My assumption was that bow A was the 50000 bow. But I chose B = 1euro.. and, of course, C = 5000 euros. When you see the price of a good bow, you are a little bit depressed, thinking that you will need to be satisfied playing with a 200-euros... very often, it seems to me that my bow is keeping my performance down, even if I am far from being a professional. So, somehow, I have to accept this limit or start saving in order to buy a better bow!

I didn't see the answers yet, but I only could hear a clear difference between A and (B&C), I can't hear much difference between B and C, but if I could choose I would have chosen for B.

Honestly, I can't hear the difference, but if you, the artist can, that's where the the true difference is. And that is part of your art. Thanks for sharing. Much respect.

No mistakes!? Im mrs mistake😂

This what drives me batty concerning celli bows and cellos. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MORTGAGE YOUR HOUSE TO GET A DECENT INSTRUMENT!! And I kid you not after I had acquired a new cello, I went to my trusty violin shop sat down with my cello, given a drawerful of bows to try. I played all of them in a matter of an hour or so. I went the next day tried a few prospects snd came down to one that only cost me about less than $600. The other ones i tried were in the thousands. Just look for an instrument or bow that sounds good, projects well and do the same when searching fir a bow to match it- comfort, weight and playability.

Listening only, I had the B picked out due to the sweetness of the sound, but A had a power that was tangible even through my AirPods. I couldn’t pick between A & B at first. Then I watched again and could SEE how easily you were playing with A. Definitely less work. Eliminated C immediately.

Many mistakes.

With comparisons like these, I always wished people would include a product that the average player would use. Maybe I'm being presumptuous but most people don't have a 5000 EUR bow or a 1 EUR bow. So I would like to see one that is like 1000 or 2000 EUR bow to demonstrate what is the difference from a more average bow. Since yes of course 1 EUR is worse than 5000 EUR... but I bet MANY 1000 EUR bows sound better than MUCH more expensive bows on some peoples cellos. Anyway I enjoyed this video a lot, thanks for the content <3

Ótimo. Muito bom. Perfeito. Impecável. ❤

It was a challenge to know exactly - you played so well per usual

The difference on the video is most noticeable at the beginning of the note, or the attack. Bows B and C have much harsher attacks compared to A for me.

For that soviet exercise its same in Serbia, at least with my profesor
