  • An honorary Jew!

  • They're selling a house right behind mine. You should check it out because they're offering a good deal on it.

  • Bravo

  • Can you imagine if his neighbors came out and all started singing "Tradition"? That would've been epic.

  • seriously - can you move next door to me and do this every morning?

  • who can hate this

  • gud finger settings  congratulation

  • Where did you get the sheet music for this? I can figure out the first part by ear, but not the second o.0 Amazing job by the way! Are you a professional?

  • yehaw

  • a fiddler on the roof. sounds crazy no?

  • Thank you.

  • ICHI BAN NO 1 RICHARD

  • lucky for you your neighbors , don't mind for you playing the violin on the roof .you sure do a very good job playing the violin solo for ''fiddler on the roof''

  • A fiddler on the roof.

  • I'd give Isaac Stern's versionof this piece 100/100.

    I'd give you 99.99975/100 as I have loved and always listened to Stern's version for 38 years. With a rendition like this one, neighbours would even offer you their daughters for marriage:-))

  • I love this song/movie/musical! It's the best!

  • Dude I love this my favorite play/musical awwww your the fuckin shit

  • That's the first thing I played when I managed to get up onto my roof.

    Greetz from Kiel/Germany

  • <3 it!

  • awesome!

  • YOu sound great

  • I wonder if your neighbors are annoyed by that. You can move in next to me, I wish more of my neighbors played violin on their roofs lol

  • What type of violin are you using?

  • Comment removed

  • wonderful

  • :O

    just :O

  • A Fiddler on the Roof. Everyone of us is a fiddler on the roof as reb Tevye used to say...

    Very nice!!

  • WONDERFUL!!!

  • I had a a kind of "premonition" that this was going to be something crazy. I wasn't dissappointed !  But what is it all about ? Who composed it ? De Man himself, Mr. Pigannini ? He looked so grim though

    Cheer-up Mr. Pee ! or I'm dog-meat !

  • An absolute joy to hear. (:

  • I didn't know Fiddler is a asian dude

  • Nive job. Good sound. Some strange open E string usage in the beginning. Might want to play that up in a higher position on the A string.

  • wow

    fiddler on the roof played on your roof

    how cliche

  • but super fantastic nonetheless :D

  • i thought that guy from the side bar looks familiar.....

    what up? chen

    A

  • could any volinist play a difficult piece with a very cheap volin,please? I wanna see the difference

  • the difference would be that the cheaper violin gives a worse tone, despite good technique used by an experienced violinist.

  • Thanks!

    There was a teacher tell me that his student's playing is fine but what I hear is that the student's playing was out of accuracy....So I think he lied / . \

  • Er .. this "good technique". Can anyone get some ?

  • yeah :P you just need a bit of experience i suppose..

    and when i say good technique i mean knowing the right pressure on the bow, the position of the bow in relation to the bridge, addition of vibrato (used at the appropriate speed for the piece) etc. :3

  • wow!! ur amazing!

  • we can make a viola on the roof!

    actually, for some reason, viola on the roof sounds really stupid.

  • OK, I might be a moron, But is that tune from the fiddlers on the roof??? I don't think I've ever seen or heard Fiddlers on the Roof.

  • Your neighbors are so lucky!

  • Hey, that's from Anatevka, right?

  • Beautiful man i always wished i had learned violin instead of trumpet... dont get me wrong i like it but i just love the way a violin sounds awesome work ill be listening to this more offten

  • I love your playing!! I was looking at Klezmer music originally, I was watching some of the Klezmatics and then the video of Itzhak Perlman playing a duet with Telly from Sesame Street and came upon your video, I guess through the catchy title. You're so good! :)

  • haha fiddler on the roof....awesomely amazing!

  • FUN! Nice.

  • Dude, I didn't know you can play the violin!

  • that was amazing.

  • Make a duett with Yuja Wang

  • fiddler on the roof ?

  • Very nice.... I question the safety of playing up there, but you are good.

  • You're on the roof!! :D Lol, you sound great!

  • that is amazing!!!! awesome video.

  • excellent performance! I must say, you are one fierce fiddler on a roof. XD

    ender

  • wow!

    Grazie German per averlo condiviso!!!

    Ciao

    francesca

  • Magnificent!!!! Thank you very much for sending this to me Germanetcheverry!

  • wow. i hope to be as good as you someday.

  • I think this should be featured. You really did an amazing job. This is very close to the original piece.

  • first you have to learn the music, then you have to practice the music. then you have to review it so you dont loose it. then you have to find somebody who actually knows how to use a darn camera. then you have to prepare yourself spiritually to climb out on a slanted roof with maybe 35-40 ft drop. then convince the camera person to do the same thing. boy it sure is a hassle playing the violin. thanks so much for all your dedication and sharing your efforts with all of us. your a great player!

  • cazzo però come si può essere così coglioni...

  • This is so tight, deserves 10x as many views

    I think I've watched this like 10 times.

  • phenomenal performance

  • Wow

  • you can feel the power...and they way he play the violen was oh..so perfect..i really love the music...i can watch this Vid forever

  • Good job! :-D

  • BAHHH hahahahahah fiddler on the roof live action,

  • Awesome performance!

  • oh.

  • AWESOME!

  • Very Clever.

  • What exactly is this song? I need to know the title!

  • Fiddler On The Roof. It is the main title from the film Fiddler On The Roof.

  • Fantastic Performance!

    Cool title for your video too.

  • Probably the only violin video to make it on my favorites list.

  • Melhor que bom !!! ÓTIMO

  • FIDDLER ON THE ROOF!

    Woo!

  • Bravo!

  • MAZELTOV!

  • Me too!!!

    nice neighborhood :)

    I love the ending

  • I wish I could live in your neighborhood...

    :)

  • What is the name of this song because it is amazing :).I want to learn it.

  • *bows*

    si fu, teach me your amazing ways.

  • just pluck that g string hard

  • whoah 0.0 ...sheet music? please? XD

  • Several main themes from the popular Fidder on the Roof played in succession, from the sounds of it. Get a score of the musical and you're well on your way.

  • no...this is not a medley of it; it's actually the cadenza at the begging of the movie...

  • I think this sounds really truley amazing!! great job! and also, just something i noticed, is your bow longer then a normal one? it seems when you play the whole notes that the bow seems to be longer.

    Cheers,

    ~Chris

  • a Bow to you The Jazzman

  • Your neighbors must really LOVE you!!

  • you are awesome¡¡¡

  • Wow! I wish there was someone like you in my neighborhood :)

  • i wish i had a neighbor like him. If i did id listen to him play all the time!

  • :) This is wonderful - thank you!

    One of the best things about YouTube is the musicians who share their music.

  • no, actually I was screwing around

  • Are you serious, deeplysarcastic? He's very good. And he plays in the San Francisco Symphony, by the way.

  • Just out of curiosity, how did you find that out????

  • WTF?

    Really, really awesome job!!

    Favorited. =)

  • i like the title. :) anyways, excellent playing and your stacatto and expressions are amazing as always. - albert

  • Just out of curiosity, did you do this by ear from the movie?

  • that is very good =]

  • Wow. When are you playing in Portland? Maybe I'll buy your neighbors house in SF if you play up there on your roof often so I don't need to buy concert tickets!

  • superb

  • It's amazing! Congrats..

  • Literally, Ha!

  • fiddler on the roof?

  • Very Nice Thank You for posting this

  • this is such a brilliant piece,

    and you are a amazing violinist

  • to pll who think that it's a good idea to add other ppl in the video so it would sound better... do you guys really think that a whole orchestra would fit on one guy's roof???

    done with the sarcasm, i think this was played very well and i think it would take me practicing every minute for the rest of my life to play that good... :)

  • brilliant!

    my only criticism, you need to smile... lol

  • what has that got to do with music?

  • ähm...can't you hear it?

  • that was blatantly utterly fantastic. BRAVO mistro!

    what did your neighbors say or throw?? LOL

    i need to pawn my Audi for a vintage fiddle! haha

  • BRAWO..!

  • that was perfect. if the other instruments were added in it would have been perfect X2.

  • WOWEEEE!!!! OK... so i am SOOOOO going on my roof later so i can say I played Fiddler on the roof... on the roof..... (i'll never say i did it that well though... you ROCK) (lets all i hope i dont break something!

    GREAT Fiddle, Great Tone... loving it!!!!

    O.o i play the violin, we do the play in the summer, but i really don't think anything is better than this.

    :P

  • Nice performance. We should all have one or two on the roof who play so well. Great pizzacato.

  • You guys, there's no need to be what are collectively known as player haters. This guy's great.

  • GENIAL.........BUENISIMO....

  • you are not a fiddler. you are a violinist

  • So is Andy Stein: both.

  • oh yea? you see this shit? huh? lemme see you do better. No wait- nevermind- don't get up - i don't want you to lose any weight sitting at the computer all day wondering why you're actually alive. Kinda harsh- no not really.

  • hehe .. yeah "a fiddler on the roof" ... you gotta love it

  • who is this man? does he have a CD or anything?

  • well, i wasn't really implying that every violinist has a CD out, i was just hoping that he did cause i like his playing style.

  • I wish he has a CD. His playing is incredible!

  • yo this is funny

  • Perfect! Please post more videos.. :)

  • holy....shit. I have to play this for my school musical this year..i'm the fiddler...er....yea---- think you can critique me? I'm serious. I'm sending you a friend request. Oh...dammit. Hahah WISH ME LUCK PEOPLE!! Oustanding Sir.
