It's taken me 62 years to appreciate music like this, and it's lovely. Off to youtube for more.
MattyMakes
I love how he just takes 1st chairs violin, 1st takes 2nd chairs, & 2nd takes 5th. Who knows how far back that thing gets past

The new violin moves from chair to chair and they tune it up the the chain until the soloist can get it again.
matxgx2718
Is that true?
Depends on the orchestra and the concertmaster, but yes.
So, when the music stops, does the person who ends up with the broken string have to leave the game?
durandana
But can he play Fallen Leaf Turning on the Wind with 2 strings?
GnomeChompski
That's exactly what I thought of
OneGuyWithSixGuns
Ohhhh…Froggie went a-c-c-courtin’, he did ride, C-C-Crambone…
FragileDonkey
Going to see Stravinskys, Rita of Spring in Jan. Should be dope.
gettingtwelveblueshellsinarow
I had the pleasure of seeing it from the third row a few years ago. It is terrifying at close range… feels like being hunted. Loved it.
*Rite of Spring! .. not sure who tf Rita is.

I really appreciate me some Steamy Ray Vaughn.
Debberz
Loved Stevie’s finesse
Jamerperson
The way they did that so well leads me to believe that's not the first time that's happened to them.
nanyatenyaa
Its not something you really practice or anything, its just an expected 'show must go on' courtesy. Its like a cultural norm.
Nobody is having meetings over broken string contigency plans... its just, part of the job that it can happen, and you're expected to help.
dcflutist
It's not common that it happens to any one person, but we all know the convention when the people above us have an instrument issue
Props to him for keeping his place without playing as well.
Ithinkimlostagain
I'd imagine any big live performance have contingency plans for most common things that could go wrong.

You may be in luck if Travis Scott gets into opera...(sorry)

Live in Utah. Going a concert with Mendelssohn violin concerto tomorrow! Require masks and vaccinations so I feel ok going.
VaultGirl69
I miss the opera. Don Giovanni played by we 20 somethings was mind blowing.
I was able to see Madame Butterfly right before lockdown in February 2020. I can't imagine being in such a crowded place and feel comfy now

It’s ok it wasn’t the third string that broke
8hourgamer
took a 2nd watching, but it gets passed around lol.
urttraz
Well yeah, there's only 3 strings left on it. It's in the name.
FetaForMoses
2nd violin is very important I think
thecontractor
You're thinking of second fiddle.
Lordborgman
Also less likely to need that E string.
This is pretty much one of your main roles as third. Emergency violin replacement.
BeniJetts
Just casually going through reading all the comments while listening and now I have hot chocolate down my front thanks to your name.. Ty lol

It would be funnier, but very expensive if they just chucked the violin at the back curtains and hoped it landed safely.

"Ooh a 2 million dollar stradavarius.... with a broken string." *YEET*
coothlesscthulhu
I clenched up as soon as those started changing hands like that. So much money being passed around there.
You may be shocked to learn that most of them don't play stradavarii.
ShoopDeDoop
That's impressive. They're only halfway through a 20 minute song that is focused mostly on that violin soloist too.
vraellar
a song? Does the violinist also sing?
krunchybssehku
Own your downvotes! I also can’t stand when people call everything “Songs”
InfiniteInquiry
Genuine question. What should they be calling it? It's instrumental music, but what is the singular noun?
rabiddolphin87
A piece of music, specially this is a concerto.
Thank you!
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
So, stupid question, why is it called a solo when there's still other instruments playing?
FatPikachuIsBestPikachu
I know its been answered but same vein as a "guitar solo" in rock. Still has other instruments but the focus is on the player not the band.
Vesane
This is more "solo concerto", ie a single soloist playing the melody while everyone else plays accompaniment, rather than literal solo
AgnesMcGillicuddy
Not a stupid question!
naenaewhip
Think of it as the focus is on one person, kinda like Han Solo.
morgulking75
The difference between what the one person is playing compared to what everyone else is playing. Background Vs foreground
hwatL4bloopy
It's the only person playing that line
ConfessionBare
You're so stupid. The rest of us know everything about instrumental orchestra nomenclature.
Kerberos623
whats the song? the end reminds me of a swedish 1980's popsong. I'm guessing he sampled some from it.

pettingmycatwhileipoo
Damn good call and damn good sauce, master chef! It really is all about that one guy. I love the pass down. Ish still rolls downhill :}
I was right. he did base it on that. been hearing this song since 1980s and never knew. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_i_hand
JustinWasHere
This right here is what the internet is for.
SmoeAhsolse
For a moment I thought you were suggesting Tchaikovsky had sampled from an 80s song. (1880s maybe)
smile. it was from the first album I ever got on cassete for my "walkman". had that song on repeat 8)
bfreeze01
How hard is it to pick up someone elses instrument and just start playing? I presume each one has it's own feel and nuance but I don't play.
nicoleoftheeast
As a person who plays a woodwind instrument, I find them all very different
There are little tweaks that are different, but all violins are fundamentally the same. His might have a nicer sound though.
eilonwy
I don't play either, but violins come in different sizes, to fit different arm sizes. I don't know how difficult it is to adjust to a 1/
different size. I imagine it's harder for a short person to play a tall person's violin than vice versa.
PikaChunin
Similar to a guitar, honestly. Except there aren't generally any crazy custom violins like there are with guitars. The string type and point
of resonance will be different from what you're used to, but not so much that you can't quickly adjust. For a soloist this is not difficult.
But you won't be able to play all-out like you might on your own. Drop from say... 100% of your performance to 90-95% probably.
Deikin
Damn that's a pretty piece of music. Can anyone identify it please?
