Fantastic!!!!

[0975Sasha]

Ben, my daughter (8yr old) just started violin about a month ago. She got music for this song and was suggested by her teacher to search YouTube for this song. We found yours and we were so impressed. My young daughter wants to know if you practice scales to play this song by ear or if you practiced this song so much you memorized it. :)

[WulfPMG]

A musically talented family huh? Lucky! >: / No one in my family knows anything about music.

[grubbyangel89]

[BenChanViolin]

Nope, I was 10th -- there were a LOT of phenomenal violinist, so I feel lucky enough to have even been accepted into it! If you haven't already, I'd strongly encourage you to check out the videos of the concert!

[jetershox2]

[PineappleOranges]

Lies, music creates emotions!

[Zeele]

It's both...

[animaniac126]

OMG I learned how to play this song by ear, It sounds really great!

How many brothers do you have btw?

[BenChanViolin]

Thanks!  Two, one older and one younger.

[animaniac126]

And, from what I've seen, all three of you play piano, is that right?

[EvangelineJoyWagner]

I loved your little jig at the beginning, haha.

[FThwaiting99]

Wow, I love watching u guys play! How many hours a day do you guys practice the piano (Jonathan) and the violin (Benjamin)?

[marvin6799]

Dude...I LOVE the run at 1:57. It's so darn clean! In a way, I hate you because I've been playing for 18 years and I can't come close to your skill level. But in then end you are totally awesome and I can't hold that against you. :)

[christina476]

i like the run too!!! its perfect! :)

[cynn112]

Man I wish I could play like you...I have a violin but I'm very horrible at it, I learned the Suzuki method so when I try to learn the right way, it's sorta hard for me....

[Mah150491]

where can I find your CD?

I guess it didn't came to Brasil right?

[fendrera]

it's beautiful music,thank you .

很美的音樂 謝謝你們from Taiwan.

[LollyJK]

So beautiful - you and your brother made me cry. I played the violin years ago but never at your level. Thank you....

[BenChanViolin]

Thank you! Hey, you should definitely consider pulling your violin out and brushing up on it - it really is a joy to play, I find!

[madkid321]

i have a song to this

[christina476]

this song was awesome!!

do you think you can play caprice number 24 by paganini??

[LovelyStrings1]

very inspirational thnks :)

[alisame123]

Wow! Woogiworld violinist rocks!

[FlyingCath]

unbelievable. Every new video I watch of you on that violin of yours drops my jaw. I really LOVE the minor sections in this, by the way. It's the kind of thing I aim for on the clarinet. Tell your bro one of your youtubers really enjoyed this one especially.

[cotrigunm8]

wow increible

could you please send me the scores??, pleasee

[AnimeBabyAngle09]

love it

[giregski]

Very nice rendition!!! Greetings from the Philippines!!!!!

[Asiansrockoutloud]

this is so awesome!

[Pinkatz44]

ahh christmas is in...5 days!!! YAY!

[watermarkonthebranch]

I'm favoriting this one. But the Chairman's Waltz is still the best. You should have had your brother play the piano part. I have the music sheet, I could scan it and send you if you want.

Merry Christmas.

[JustinDBernardino]

I thought that it was beautiful, however I do have a question about your chords in the ending. Are those the same chords that the Melbay company used for the second violin's part except an octave up?

[BenChanViolin]

Uhh... to be honest, I've never heard of Melbay company. What's that from?

[JustinDBernardino]

MelBay is a company that produces sheet music from various genres. Of course, most of their work comes from other arrangements or composers, however, they do make some of their own harmonies for pieces that did not originally have one. Your chords in the end just reminded me of it -- that comes from the nerdy musicologist/linguist side of me.

[JustinDBernardino]

Okay it's been driving me crazy. I've figured out every part of this piece by ear except one chord! I was hoping if you could tell me what note you played with the B at 2:02 -- I thought that it may be a B being played with D, C#, D -- is it???

[Smebninja]

Could you please upload the sheets to your site.

Thanks a lot.

[ArthurTyler]

1:58 you had fun. nice

[huj0727]

Great!!!Greeting from Taiwan....

[twilightcrazy2008]

[MaceCro]

merry Christmas HO HO HO! nice playing!

[mishyxx]

wow. i wish i was that good!

and your violin is so nice

[boobot1]

Quel type de violon jouez-vous ?

[BenChanViolin]

J'en parle dans les details de mon channel- c'est fait par Nicolo Gagliano en 1761, et je sais tres bien combien j'ai de la chance de l'avoir- c'est pour cela que je partage ces videos avec le monde :-)

[boobot1]

Ce semble très gentil. Je moi-même jeu un violon de Guarnerius. Il a été construit par Li Xu. Il avait fait des violons pour tout à fait autrefois à mes arrangements. J'ai récemment acheté ce violon parce que la base de mon Stradivarius 1786 plus ancien est devenue déformée. Je pouvais l'obtenir fixe mais elle a jamais tout à fait retenti la même chose.

[MusicMyIs]

Ben! You're AMAAZING! YOU SPEAK FRENCH AND PLAY THE VIOLIN! WOW!

[musicindisguise]

@MusicMyIs

he seaks french?

[boobot1]

Is it just me or do we start celebrating Christmas earlier and earlier every year. By the way great job.

[omega770]

So true. LMAO

Chan Bros. style is always the best >8D

[AytidaRed]

your violin has a very noble tone, so clear and powerful. It must be by a really famous maker. great job.

[Tedibearmeow]

his violin was made by a student of stradivarius after all.. :)

[Sonyas13]

Simply stunning!

I love your version of a classic song! Keep on playing!

サンチェッズ・ソーニャ

[Matteraxe]

Jeese! I knew you were good, now there is another on of you just he plays the piano. :)

[BongoGigglebee]

YOU ROCK! And also...The day you uploaded this vid. I had a violin concert! It was for my honors orchestra! (creepy)!

[JimmyChiffels]

I hope your guy's CD sells well!

[ForeverZero187]

woah! was his violin really made in 1761?! thats pretty crazy! ^^

[252max20]

i suppose so. Some good violinist have pretty old violins from a gift from... someone... lol

[Rikku327]

Fanastic!! I like your versions much better!!

[karateko]

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
