I love this melody. I listen to it much these days so I wanted to share it with the good people on this forum:) It is the same guy playing both the cello and violin. Really impressive:)

No wonder I can't vibrato! I've been holding the violin completely wrong this whole time!

This is really cool. I really love smaller ensembles, chamber orchestras over a full orchestra any day. If I could play like that, I'd clone myself too!

Lol @OldCrow 🙂 I had to try out to hold the violin like that. It was not a success:)

@ratvn It's glad you liked it:)

@StoneDog This is i great combination of instruments:) My sister actually started playing the cello, but I don't think that we will ever reach this level

@coolpinkone This duet is amazing:) I don't know how he can manage to play the violin like that. I guess he just transfer his abilities from the cello to the violin. but still, It should not be possible

@mischa91 lol:) How did it work out? I tried it myself, but the result was kinda dissappointing. Nothing like the video.

@coolpinkone I think so too. This is maybe not the best version I heard of this duet, but I think it is the best on youtube. I'm just happy to share the music I love, and it is even better when others like it too:)

@frequency Definitely not as good as the guy in the video and i was kneeling on the floor so i'm pretty sure that didn't help. I need a chair to try it properly.
