Please Guys,
Can all of you quit about violin being the hardest instrument?
There is so much controversy over which instrument is the hardest that it's enough to drive one crazy.
All instruements are beautiful and if you think that one is harder than another, then your talent at being ignorant is TOP NOTCH.
Seriously, all instruments are extremely hard and challenging. If you think they are easy to master, I expect that you aren't challenging yourself much.
Thanks.
i know what you mean but some people (me included) have had to work really hard to get where they are today and play only reasonably. it is something that you have to work at quite a bit i think and people who say it is hard have been there before. yes music and instruments are beautiful but i dont think it is ignorance, i mean some violinists also play piano and guitar and lots of other instruments and probably put the same level of work in. so sure it is annoying, but it is kinda true. we don't say it to scare people off but to tell them that it isnt a walk in the park
I play several instruments, not all of them, but violin does take a lot of time to learn. I'm not saying that it is THE hardest; that statement is such a generalization, it could never be true that any one instrument is truly harder than all the rest. however, some instruments are harder to learn than others, and I would say violin is a harder instrument. there is often much more time invested into learning a piece than to learn the same piece at the same level on a different instrument. Please also keep in mind that when people reply "oohhhh, violin is the hardest instrument".....you can ask them if they can play every instrument in the world! And if they say no, (which they should) you can ask them.....How do you know for sure?
Cheers!!
I cant say that its the hardest instrument to play, since violin is the only instrument I play so far. It has been said that the violin is the hardest instrument to master, and that I can definately believe.
I really do understand what you are all trying to tell me; however, I don't believe that any instrument is harder than the other. And no, none of them are a mere walk in the park, it just depends how you convert that instrument.
When you get to the top of the line toughest pieces by people like Rachmaninoff, piano can get unbelievably hard. Some masters of piano can't even play some of his pieces. Each hand is doing something independently , going up and down the keyboard. I'd say piano.
I'd say that it depends on the person. It's true that for one person, the violin may be the toughest one they've encountered. For another, the violin may be a piece of cake, and it's the oboe that gives them grief. Which instrument is the most challenging? That depends on the individual playing the instrument.
Well, I can play all the string instruments, not as well as I would like to, and i can say for sure violin is challenging, but definitely not the most difficult. Cello is pretty hard, and so is the oboe and french horn. I would say the hardest insrument to learn is the voice...if you don't have a good voice, then that makes learning much harder.
But then again, my singing is pretty terrible, so i guess i wouldnt know!!
