I have a strange request: can anyone recommend me songs featuring some fast-paced violin (piano welcome too)? And not TOO whimsical?

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

For example, something like this beaut from 00:50 onwards

Thx I look forward to max 2 replies tbh

 

[Bleu]

Summer , of Vivaldi's four seasons. ( https://youtu.be/nJTfG1MmMwQ )

 

[Septimus Prime]

Vanessa Mae plays a lot of this kind of stuff.

 

[yogurt]

Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, 1st Movement

 

[AimLow]

For violin (fiddling technique specifically): Devil Came Down to Georgia. Not sure how whimsical that is considered though.

 

[Conkersbadfurday]

Ne Obliviscarus have a guy on violin, but it usually comes and goes

Can't exactly remember when it shows up. Don't have the song memorized. It's proggy death metal though, so not whimsical :P

 

[Bumrush]

Any song by Lindsey Stirling will do

 

[MasterOfPuppets]

 

[Graefellsom]

kicks off at about 9.15 minutes in. Was incredible live.

 

[gforguava]

Lindsey Stirling is pretty much right in this wheelhouse.

And I'm not really sure if either of these are what you are looking for but here goes:

Holly Williams - "Sick Joy"



Okkyung Lee(yeah she is a cellist, sue me) - "Kung"

 

[Pyccko]

Look for some Mägo de Oz songs, it's a spanish folk metal band.

 

[Korigama]

Anyone else remeber the Guilty Gear MOBA game?
Holy Orders 3 (Be Just or be Dead) from Guilty Gear 2 : Overture.

 

[Deleted member 55164]

Lindsey Stirling - you're welcome (also youtube for her amazingly well produced and choreographed videos).

 

[echoshifting]

Yeah get into Vanessa Mae and Lindsay Stirling they are both awesome

Woooooooah, fucking nostalgia rush here. Haven't listened to The Everglow in years, used to be one of my favorite records.

Another great choice, Manchester is a top tier song

[ultramooz]

Not sure it's what you're asking but I love this song :


If you like violin + electronica check their other songs too.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Nobody has mentioned one of the greatest violin pieces ever written and performed?

Paganini - Caprice 24 in A Minor

Widely considered to be the hardest solo violin piece written. Master violinists try to perfect this one for years, only to fail miserably.

This later part in Dash.

Sisqo Thong Song has it.

Wow, surprised no one has mentioned Owen Pallett. In addition to being a very unique queer solo artist, everyone has probably heard his work in films and in orchestra production albums from bands/artists like Arcade Fire, Taylor Swift, Frank Ocean, Linkin Park, Titus Andronicus, Majical Cloudz, Caribou,etc.

Fun fact, he used to go by Final Fantasy for all his work. I still have his first debut vinyl that has the name a Final Fantasy, this was later changed to Owen Pallett.

Yup, Paganini should've been the first reply. He's the embodiment of OP's 'fast-paced violin'.

For the fastest pianos look no further than CosMo's Oceanus, his songs's note sheets can look incomprehensible at times bc of how much stuff he crams onto his songs (as standard with modern Japanese maximalism):


As for the fastest violins, here's xi's Halcyon:
