If you want to get better at performing in front of people, then you have to practice in front of people. Makes sense right? Try practicing in a public studio on Tonic: tonicmusic.app/practice-together 🎵

Sure, and how can I use tonic right to get ‚fron-of-people‘ then, I am not a digital native and need support, I am afraid! Hope makes sense.

Please, make a video on what and what you passed through in your violin beginner/intermediate/advanced level which was very helpful in one way or the other.

Super happy it's Jasmine that represents flutes here, she always kills it

The word devilish is sooo appropriate for this piece 😅😅 i literally see Paganini playing like 'yeah people i sold my soul to devil to do this'. and the flute version is more like an evil fawn

This was so cool to hear your perspectives on how each instrument approaches the piece with their own strengths and challenges. Definitely more of this series please! 👏✨

I find it so healing to hear Jasmine talking and playing the flute. She is just so gentle and sweeet. Plz make more of these. I am sure this defienitely could inspire a lot of ppl. Thank sooooo much for making this. 🥰❤Love Ray💞💞💞

Hearing this piece played with a flute is amazing! It has such a mysterious, mischievous -- impish -- sound! Devilish in a different way. Love it. And Jasmine is so sweet & lovely. Thanks for the vid, guys!

FLUTE GAAANG!! For me, the Jasmine's caprice 24 version is the best flute version ☺❤

​​@@imchillingbro It's my opinion and there's nothing you can do to change my mind. I never said that the flute is better than the violin, I just said that I prefer the flute. Everyone has their own taste and should be respected

She is wonderful. I'm so impressed that you have her on to add depth to both perspectives of the music. Thank you, Ray and Ms. Choi.

Really enjoy these collaborations with Jasmine and flute. Thanks Ray and Jasmine.

Always love to see you two chat together! It's interesting and inspiring.

Very nice. I never heard it on the flute before, it was not the way I had imagined it would sound at all. Thanks to you both for an entertaining and educational video.

I love the recent series with Jasmine Choi! Please keep it up!

I love you both. I did the caprice 24 on the recorder 2 weeks ago for my final recital. Jasmine video motivated me to learn it and I adapted it for the recorder from her flute version

I love the way they vibe off each other. The joy that comes with being curious and open, and then finding something that lights up your synapses is something that I wish was more prevalent, and that more people experienced.

Such a pleasure to hear Ray play the violin, great sound.

SO INSPIRATIONAL... every instrumentalist can gain insight and understanding from listening to other instruments playing the same piece.... especially when MAESTROS play them.

You guys are awesome!!!🎻🪈

Oooooh the goosebumps and the tickles I felt while watching the whole video was so strong!!! more of this please!!!!!

cheers to both of you!! Love hearing you play Jasmine Choi and Ray Chen!! :)

Both magnificent musicians & a joy to listen to, thankyou for the insite. Loved this 🪈 🎻 ❤

Violin gang!!!😂 (but i also love flues and flautists, and Jasmine ofc she sounds so angelic 👼🪽)

Now i wanna hear it as a duet, where they both play the same variation at the same time. that would be a super intense duet

I play neither .. but I wanted to learn the flute since I was 12 ... and comes and goes since older the want to learn violin and I am on some KICK about it this week .. and now most certainly addicted to your vids as well ... so aawesome to see my two faves together

You guys should do a duet! Flute and violin really complement each other so well ❤

Both instruments are wonderful! You cannot compare!!! Greetings from a Classical-Tenor-Violist, Josha

He broke his E String AGAIN at the concert exceptional recovery!

Thanks for this video! Very very impressed by both of you. Would you make the next episode with Mendelssohn violin concerto? Because I love Jasmine playing this 🩶

Both of you are so beautiful playing with your instrument I would never get t😊idea of battling - prefer to love the character of each and diversity in beauty they are bringing to life . Interesting though to get an idea of how clever the notation of a piece can be adapted to the specialty of your instruments by the playing one, tricky and long way of practicing to do that with confidence. You both are souvereign maestros ❤ love you and thank you 🎉

Love this series with my 2 favorite instruments! First time I heard Jasmine play the caprice, my brain exploded. To hear that her flute version has become standard repertoire for flutist is just amazing!

Found this channel yesterday while deciding if I want a violin. I think I want a flute now

Oh myyyyy goooooooddddneeeesssss this is hell difficult and amazing and wonderful and mesmerizinggggggggggg!!!!!!! you two are geniuses!

Really interesting to see repertoire exchange discussion, and altering of the octaves. Jean Pierre Rampal approached Khachaturian to write a flute concerto, he responded "lol just arrange my violin concerto" and encouraged Rampal. He did the arrangement and played it on the lower register. My teacher later arranged it one octave higher because the flute's lower registers are so hard to project in front of an orchestra (I assume, I never asked..). P.S: She isn't doing it without spitting everywhere, she's quite literally spitting into the flute at times! Controlled spitting is how you play this wonderful tube :)

Bravo ,what a glorious challenge 🎉

Please, make a video on what and what you passed through in your violin beginner/intermediate/advanced level which was very helpful in one way or the other.

Super fun video! ❤

I like these series! Thanks for sharing. For future videos, would you please incorporate a duet so we can hear and see how it all comes together?

Awn it’s so cute that’s is so smitten by her and her amazing talent 🩵🎶

Fantastic team I like very much ...yessss from Perú

It's a pleasure to listen to you both! Each instrument has its own charm....The flute is "warm and sweet"....and the violin is "bouncy and spicy"🙃🙂

Yes, the flute is definitely more angelic.

Brilliantly done

Nice video! Lots of fun

Would love to see Ray, Jasmine and TwoSet discuss the Mendelssohn concerto. The different perspectives of learning and performing the piece would be an interesting video.

when you said "It litterally only takes 1 person" it reminded me some years back when i first saw someone on a dirt bike doing a backflip. Nowadays you see people on regular bikes, dirtbikes and even skateboards doing a backflip. it just takes that 1 sheep. its awesome to see.

Ray: pulls up International edition Partnership with Henle: 👀 In all seriousness though, I really appreciate this series of flute and violin! I've played strings, winds, and piano, so it's fun to hear professionals talking about the specifics of their different instruments with each other.

I LOVE BOTH OF THE INSTRUMENTS. ❤

This was really fun to listen and watch

Beautiful both of you .very nice ❤

Jasmine graciously joining in on the Tonic ad, 😊

One of my favorite pieces❤❤

I love this duo! I hope to see more VS from both of them and Ray! a vs with cello gang? Santiago Cañon's Caprice 24 is incredible! 😏

Dù ngu tiếng Anh nhưng em vẫn thích xem video của anh

VIOLIN GANG!!!🙋🏻‍♀️🎻 The violin is the og but I gotta say that the flute gave it a really good run and give the caprice a different more mischievous feel

The flute saound so good. Its so good to listen

Always in awe both performances were ❤❤

Every time I watch you and any other violin subjected videos I cry. Because I went to my first class when I was 8 years old but 5 years later I got that I didn't learn anythings. Then I went to the only "classical violin class" in my town and I started violin from zero for few month then I realize he don't know actually nothing then after like forever a good teacher came to our town so i went to him and start again from 0 after freaking 6 years and I step up realy hood And now he has gonne and there is any real classical music teacher in my town and I don't have nice situation for going to another town so I am not good about it😢 Sorry for my long message. I should have said that❤

love this video so much!! it would be fun to see you two try to play each others instruments too??

love you both's videos and have been playing the recorder for two years wishing for a flute. the flute is the best instrument, hoping to get one someday, they just cost so much.😥

You can get a student flute for 100 dollars. I mean, they are not good at all, but they'll do for a beginner. I have a student whose family can't afford a good flute and I charge very little for the lessons so she can play and learn. It is not ideal, but better than not playing at all.

La flauta suena increíble!!. 😮😮

Nice one. Subscribed

저처럼 잘 모르는 사람 입장에서 들었을 때는 현악기와 관악기의 차이만 어렴풋이 느껴지네요. 현악기는 sharp 한 반면에 관악기는 round 하게 들려요. 개인적으로 PAGANINI 곡은 Violin 이 더 잘 표현하는 것 같습니다.

@RayChenViolinist I’m going to your concert on Friday, I can’t wait for your performance!

I also love her mendelsshon's performance❤️💯

I'm going to guess that that's your Strad... because it sounds phenomenal. Beautiful tone. (And yes, the player makes the violin sing.)

Both are Ling Ling prodigies. Love to hear more!

You're going to play my favorite Caprice 24 by Paganini 👍😊😍

You should do this type of video with Chris Thile - virtuoso mandolinist. In the “classical” sector he plays Baroque (Bach) and has translated the works for mandolin! (Tuned the same but obviously played much much differently) that would be SO cool. He’s not a KZreadr but he does love to collaborate with any and every artist and I mean that. Quirky & virtuosic! Would be a fun video.

I still think neither is devillish, but these were some nicely polished horns, Ray. - Some goats are definitely envying you now! 😉 Flute has a totally different attack than violin and does sound heavenly most of the time. But I prefer violin's versatility - it can sound heavenly too, if one knows how - and intends - to make it sound like that. 😄 As always, videos with you two are a pleasure to watch. 💞

Here for Jasmine. Love you, Ray, but she is so pretty and talented.

RECORDER GANG!!! haha. i wish i can play Paganini caprices one day. i play the violin too but i've started too old (age 30+) to reach paganini-level on it, so at least on the recorder i will someday!

you should do a future video about this same piece, but on the piano, like violin vs piano.

When's the duet version of Paganini Caprice no. 24 featuring you two coming out?

I like the both so much

To this day, I still cannot do the left-hand pizzicato! Ray, can you please do a tutorial video on this?

Hej Ray can you please do a video about what it was like to study in Curtis. Cause I was so impressed when you said you practiced only scales for 6 months. I really wanna hear more about those practise strategies.

They're not just gods and godesses of their respective instrument, they're style pros as well!

i play clarinet, used to play the flute. does anyone else here love TwoSetViolin?

Muito bom.

Hey Ray! You should look up Warren Ellis. He is an Australian violinist who plays in Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and in Dirty Three. I would like to see your opinion on his style of playing the violin.

I think that Jasmine is using her flute with the diamond in the end to play today. I am always partial to the violin and especiallywhen Ray is playing, but I love listening to any music with any instrument. This takes me back to high school band when we would have dueling instruments especially when we had days that everyone competing for best in their show for competing state finals and scholarships.

You're both great musicians who have mastered your respective instrument. But I think the piece is more difficult for the flute 'coz it was not composed by Paganini for that instrument. But I was waiting for you guys to play the entire piece. Anyway, I enjoyed this video so much.

Don't know which one is acutally better,they're both Great!! PLEASE VIVALDI:SUMMER VIOLIN vs. FLUTE PLEASE!!

Nothing beats the violin for Paganini, but man, that flute was beautiful.

Btw as a flute player this is definitely possible but like I think she made it sound a lot easier than is on flute. I don’t know that much violín so idk how hard it is for them but it is definitely challenging on flute

Jasmine is so amazing

It would be great to see Devil’s Trill in a violin VS flute version😨

I'd like to listen to these two masters playing the Prokofiev flute sonata (it has a violin version)

For me knowing that Paganini is the father of the modern violin I was team violin all the way, however hearing Paganini on the flute I'm really not sure anymore. Not only is her playing lovely but she is too...I'm feeling really conflicted right now.😂

The flute is closest to the human voice. Its virtuosic, but has limitations because of how its built.

Ray, you must try to play the chinese violin! You can apply the violin techniques on playing the chinese violin (erhu). I’m an erhu player myself :)

Violin gannnnnggg lessgo 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Ray dw ur winning for sure ❤
