[painter1026]

再怎麼了不起的古董，都只是「物件」，怎麼比得上有情的『人』？­

[belem1963orlando]

красивая песня и отличный перевод

vacker sång och utmärkt tolkning

linda música e excelente interpretação

[timunderwood9]

I love the comments on interpretation and play you have, as someone who is trying to get a better understanding of what is going on in a piece it is rather nice to see something like that.

[Schlange556]

Beautiful! 

[demmylima1]

The godess and the music, you, your violin and your performance playing one of the most beautifull Beethoven composition. Together, the most beautifull music and the most beautifull woman in the world. Congratulations, you did what you wanted to do, recreat Beethoven's intentions in the line of phrases! You and your performance make me fill really happy today, I tanks God for this!

[7newlight]

if you want to flip out your mind with this song ,,,hear it with sarah chang,,,beyond human level, of course her violin probable costs $7,000,000.

[ttocsify]

that is the most beautiful woman that ever lived

[poseidon21crakos]

@RAPTOMC1 jajajaj si sierto jusjuas

[MrAndieMusik]

It's a pity I can't see you play, Ann, so that my delight might be far greater. All I can watch is a lifeless pic here.

[patricksxaviers999]

excelente,genial,la musica de los dioses...

[patricksxaviers999]

excelente,maravilloso,genial.

[verlieBttzpiel]

[Csillagviragful]

Beautiful!

[master2104735]

I think this is a good melody

[ChadC919]

Grapes of Wrath.

[louise6894]

Like most other pieces she plays it just is too beautiful. I listen all the time and dream of playing like that . What a gift she is sharing with us Thank you Ann

[LiberationWay]

I am a better man for this experience.The master, Herr Beethoven and a person that would diligently seek the beauty, the expressive core within this resplendent composition. Danke sehr Ann Fontanella.

[KlassikerPJ]

Only a Picture of her, pitty

[DTSephiroth]

@KlassikerPJ No kidding. beautiful and talented... I think I'm in love.

[maurice0773]

beautiful. Who is the conductor and which orchestra is performing?

[TheDslemarr]

I'm fairly new to classical music and am finding that the sound of the violin....I can't explain it....just make's me feel at peace I guess, of course i still love listening to the electric guitar but I find myself listening to this genre more and more. thank you for sharing your talent! :)

[MyChemicalLove011]

@TheDslemarr Metal? (: I'm turning to more genres myself. It's such a relief listening to romantic/peaceful music. :P

[cineclasta]

que extasiado estoy.

[Tigreloaded]

If you had uploaded this material without ur own photo, comments would be pretty different, not necessary bad, just different. Still, good music.

[marbmcr]

Beauty and talent. As someone stated before, she has been touched by God. 

[kansas412]

nice work Ann

[GinaLauraPerez]

Ohh que boniiTo :D

JoJoo

[LolsoFuny]

kool

[Crazymind2]

well dear Ann... i'm really in a dream....??

Your violin make it

[Kodamin]

ouch! this is the very good

[nanabexhoeft]

Anna: You are touched by God ~ thank you for sharing you with the world. We are better for it. Magnificent music, my soul smiles.

[RandomContent0]

@nanabexhoeft It is a beautiful performance - why would you try to cheapen all her practice and training by attributing her performance to a supernatural power?

The Parthenon is beautiful and we don't need to Athenian gods or the virgin sacrifices to appreciate it. She did this on her own - no faerie tales needed

[bce5150]

This makes me feel terrible about my physical and musical beauty.

[amobichos1]

lindo, lindo

[amobichos1]

liiiiiiiiiiindo

[CHASEISBEAST]

Incredible. Well done!

[thompkinsbilal2]

this is very beautiful in opens up your heart

[150144jf]

So beautiful.I´m wondered

[ITheDeadlyGamesmanI]

It is just beautiful. I was reading while listening to this and had to stop to marvel at such sublime sound.

[arminvanfan]

just outstanding, it is just the most moving piece of music I have heard played with such devotion. My 12 and 15 year old are listening to it and are in awe of it.

[minion6500]

i clicked on this because the girl in the thumbnail was a babe

[FP4L1430]

People that dislike this are just jealous because they cant play beautiful music in a violin. I love it!

[MADVID79]

SUPERB. I HAVE NOT HEARED BEFORE THIS MUSICAL TALENT.

HOW PLEASANT TO KNOW WE HAVE THIS KIND O TALENT IN THIS CENTURY. CONGRATULATIONS

[Hobbitchoker]

Very very good. I haven't heard someone play the Violin like this since I saw Janice Martin play.

[attractive4567]

nice

thanx alot

[DeathMetalMorty]

lovely, you totally got a subscriber :)

[150144jf]

bravo! bravo!

[miggy78]

I really wish these jerks would respect this great talent of a woman. She is baring her soul and talent. Yet these weirdos dwell in the primitive mundane and insignificances. I'm not going further because it would make a difference if I Sid or commented any more negativity...she has a splendid talent. My heart and soul flow through the notes as they reach my ears..Thank you for posting (I will keep this recording on repeat).

[150144jf]

I liked very much .Splendid.Amazing

[150144jf]

OW! So beautiful. So excelent violin.Amazing.Esplendid

[wundlee]

you're hot, do you want to go out some time?

[unrealord]

[Cronicwisdom]

christ violins are annoying can i have some pussy with that

[dziady1]

laughable

[griechereservist]

MARRY ME

[jorgeoscar1000]

there is so much fluidity in her interpretation that captures the celestial music that Beethoven wanted to convey. Great Miss Ann Fontanella !!!

[bytwyzz]

Thank you for the play by play dissertation ,, it means a lot hearing of the actual intentions behind the original piece . Your mastery of those intricate subtle flourishes reveal heavenly anecdotes .  Keys to enlightenment , profound upliftments which help in our earthly toils . such is the mission of pure artistry . IMHO , stay blessed , searching thru your repertoire will be such fun ! ksskss

[hozombolasweet]

[19Freedom41]

How very moving, Ann.

This was one of the first pieces that made me love classic music as a very young teen boy....

Now ,being an aged man, I still love this concerto as the first time I heard it.

So full of refinement and deep emotions. you play it very well indeed... Thank you for sharing it ;-)

[voilntlyplay]

shes cute

[d84cafe]

[BMuris]

I was listening to this piece as I was cooking :)

Thanks for sharing, great talent and work!

[ttmvcssr]

Thật tuyệt vời giai điệu da diết mà lại hết sức ngọt ngào, trăn trở nhưng lại vô cùng êm dịu. Xin cám ơn Chúa đã gửi đến cho nhân loại một Beethoven, lại biết ơn Ngài đã ban cho cô Ann Fontanella ngón đàn violon mượt mà sang trọng.

[ttmvcssr]

Magnifique !

[R0bertto24]

Ann, I do not know to much about Violin, but this music is beatiful, simply Perfect.

Ann No se mucho de Violin, pero esta meodia se oye hermosa, simplemente perfecta.

[davejazzlover]

love it ! thanks for sharing..



[yyjpyy]

I was looking for some instrumental music to listen to while writing my thesis. I ended up following your whole description of the piece, so interesting I found it. The noir photo also helped, I must confess. The most pleasant 10 min I ever "wasted", thank you.

[patowlmc2]

This is such a weird ritual to make a sandwich

[wundlee]

@patowlmc2 lmfao

[Amirnake]

@patowlmc2 This just never loses its humor. :) Because of that small tiny drop of truth that it carries. :D

[rafaelb1026]

@patowlmc2 bet she is worth more than you sexist asshole

[Chiche35]

BRAVOOO...



[MinhQuocFB]

trên cả tuyệt vời... I love it

[Fresh0razoR]

[dlee15081]

Your interpretation of this composition is rather wonderful and beautifully played. I love Sophie Mutter and Isaac Stern , however you are very talented for one so young. I shall surely listen to your other works!

[TheDAMS1986]

QUE GENIALIDAD

[louise6894]

Wished I could play it like this Not in my lifetime, excellent as are most of your other pieces. Thank you I love it

[misarablesquad15]

Any sites where i can learn how to play the violin, i have one just begging to be used

[mozart1791able]

I hope we can have a duet. I'm a pianist. I want to have a duet a violinist like you. :)

[luvmlvm]

Bravo!!!!!!!

[mybagisswing]

This is beautiful! You are incredibly talented..amazing.

[gafliglebidle]

I have to agree with one of the points made in this video... Whether the rumor is true or not, I do hear a lot of heartbreak in this song...

[Arcticazn]

in so many words... will you marry me based on this wonderful piece you played?... :o)

[Dartwith]

cant get enough of this

[hojaechung]

Ma'am you play very beautifully



[76gecko]

[Tambor1981]

[GalacticBlader]

music is simply just magnificent

[quentincamillenabil]

pourquoi personne a par moi écrie en francais ici

[Kintaro476]

@quentincamillenabil t'es pas le seul, regarde en dessous x)

[quentincamillenabil]

je suis crever alors mercie c se que jatender que cette musique classique face mai g ecrie se ommentaire avant la fin car je vais mendormir mais yeux son entrin de se fermer alor mercie de cher merci vraiment merci

[babaganousha]

phie Mutter, Sarah Chang, Hilary Hahn and Janine Jansen i stumbled around Ann Fontanella ;)

First it took me a moment to get into the way you play ...IN now!

The absolute amazing thing is ...you are really connected to music & your listeners!

I love the part between 5:07 - 5:24 so much!

Silly question ...but do you like David Oistrakh's way to play?

[Annfontanella]

@babaganousha , that is the part I personally find the most devastating, too. Beethoven described a whirring and dizziness caused by his ears - I like to think that maybe that's what that portion shares with us. Oistrakh was undoubtedly a great musician. He wasn't always as great a human being, as evidenced by his treatment of Erick Friedman, but this does not reflect on his musical capacities :)....Thanks for tuning in!! :)

[luckypenny482]

I just love your comments. They add so much to my enjoyment of these pieces.

[okeydokeysammy]

i saw this in the recommendations of a video about "the worlds best violinist" when i came here i was like, that other guy is not as good as this. i subscribed

[Annfontanella]

@okeydokeysammy , Lol, thanks very much! :) I'm glad you liked it!

[JESUS1John]

VERY GOOD

[heipaadegsauenshaun]

you're amazing! :D:D omg!

[moonlightghotic]

like me today........

[gamemasterluigi]

I have 2 questions, How do you set up a bridge anyway and how many notes are on each string, I though thteir was only 3 or 4 considering if fourth finger is a not. I hope I can play violin like you can someday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gabrigol11]

Amazing work. I'm really impressed with your sensibility to play the violin, and it's a gift to us your annotations along the video. Bravo!

Arrivederci!

[brenna1199]

I know this might sound like a stupid question, but is the melody being played by a violin or a viola?

[thyagooliveiradf]

muito bom !!!!



[violinlove00]

@unrealord -- I did not ask about you "doing your work" and I certainly don't care if you're a professional. Did she ask you to rudely criticize your performance? I don't think so. So how could it be your "work"? Also, the last time I checked I was not an asshole. A person with such professionalization should know better than to use such words.

[unrealord]

@violinlove00 you would never understand my profesionalism, let me do my work little pussy

[violinlove00]

@unrealord -- Nor do I want to try to understand because the impression that you just showed is that 1) you can't type ANYTHING without using some dirty word to insult me 2) you pretend to be "professional". 3) you're still and IDIOT. Wow. The crap that you typed made you look so professional. Good job.

[unrealord]

@violinlove00 well, you make me use dirty words because your ignorance, you cant understand the work of a professional you lazy bitch

[violinlove00]

@unrealord -- Which shows how immature you are. What made you come to the conclusion that I'm lazy? I'd like to see you explain that. This all started because you, who doesn't know squat about music, insulted Ann Fontanella. Also, I've seen your channel, and by the looks of it 1) YOU'RE NOT PROFESSIONAL 2) You make yourself feel better by insulting others and 3) People HATE you. Since you clearly cannot stop commenting, I'll be the adult here and end this.

Have a good day ;D

[unrealord]

@violinlove00 Well, Ann Fontanella sucks, and you suck too, stop bitching around and let me do my work, i will make my professional decision in every shitty work like this, have a nice day too bitch

[harrihaven2]

@unrealord swear much?

[unrealord]

@harrihaven2 yeah, i am a professional, this video sucks =D

[harrihaven2]

@unrealord mmhmm, sure. I'm with violinlove00 on this, I don't believe a true professional would misuse language to critique a fellow violinists performance. Swearing and cussing make you sound much less intelligent than I know you are. For your sake try to stay away from misusing language and parading that you are a professional, you may well be, but it communicates unprofessionalism. Sorry, but it does. Best of luck to your next performance! :-)

[unrealord]

@harrihaven2 Well, who cares about the language asshole, the whole point of this is that this video is a piece of shit, thats all =)

[harrihaven2]

@unrealord What makes you think this video is so bad?

[unrealord]

@harrihaven2 because it is bad asshole

[harrihaven2]

@unrealord What makes you think this video is so bad? tone and quality of the sound is great, the vibrato is excellent, she plays with emotion, the dynamics are excellent, she even added attonnations for people like me who like to go a bit deeper into the piece. What's not to like?

[unrealord]

@harrihaven2 everything, you dont know anything about music, this video is shit

[harrihaven2]

@unrealord Maybe I don't, but because you can't give any musical or even non-musical valid reason why this video is lousy, you have no right to hate on it. I have no idea whats going on in your life right now but I am praying for you!

[harrihaven2]

@unrealord Maybe I don't, but because you can't give any musical or even non-musical valid reason why this video is lousy, you have no right to hate on it. I have no idea whats going on in your life right now but I am praying for you! ^_^

[unrealord]

@harrihaven2 i should pray for you too, because you are a total fool and an asshole, why cant you accept this video is shit, like your life, haha

[Ardalla555]

@unrealord it's 20:1 favorable, but a 15 year old with no musical talent knows best. Omg, now we see the light and the error of our pointless lives has been revealed by a mere child. Why didn't we see it before? All the time we wasted imagining this music was excellent. How can we bear to look in the mirror at the stark truth of our worthlessness?

[unrealord]

@Ardalla555 maybe its your case, because you are an asshole hahaha

[harrihaven2]

@unrealord What makes you think this video is so bad? tone and quality of the sound is great, the vibrato is excellent, she plays with emotion, the dynamics are excellent, she even added attonnations for people like me who like to go a bit deeper into the piece. What's not to like? btw, I think its so funny, the smiley face right after you cuss off me and her..cracked me up! ^_^

[delbertgrady2]

0:00-9:17 Take note of how beautiful the violinist is.

[Zhygun]

Who are the stupids who didn't like this?  ¬¬

[lvbandmore]

Great performance and great annotations! I've been annotating a bunch of Beethoven myself and your walkthru style is really great. It may influence mine now ;).

You may want to note in the title that it's Opus 50 and not 40, since there are 2 Violin Romances. I love Heifetz too, tho as you say he's very "recognizable". Still, that vibrato and portamento is so electric, even if his co-partners might not have the same intonation (piano trios....). OK - I'll be subscribing - very cool.

[Annfontanella]

@lvbandmore , Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it...

[dieseldog00]

I cannot believe there are 17 people who voted thumbs down on this piece. Whoever you are, you have no ears.

[violinist2bvalentino]

Oh My God!!! simply stunning!!!! great job!!! i have a question i am 17 yrs old and i have 2 qu's. does the type of bridge you have make a difference? and what type of violin do you have (playing on)? like a stradivarious or a scott cao? or neither? BTW, you are my idol!:) good luck on everything!! thanx!:)

[Annfontanella]

@violinist2bvalentino , Yes, the bridge does make a difference, but it is a personal choice. I prefer a high bridge with the strings spaced closely. Some people like it lower, some like low E strings, etc. Experiment and find what works for you. In this recording, I played an Italian violin from about 1690.

[ruchirpareek]

i wish in india we had people who knew violin as good as you.

I am 22 and i have no idea how long does it take to learn playing this great instrument well. I just want to learn it no matter what it takes.

I guess i will die without ever getting a chance to learn an art as romantic as this. It makes me very sad. Why am i living? BTW you play very well and you are a gorgeous lady!

[politicopol]

@ruchirpareek ...please do not be sad...my friend...do your bit for the world...however...that is all that counts...

[ruchirpareek]

@politicopol

Thanks for the positive comment my friend!

You are absolutely right.

[politicopol]

@ruchirpareek ...if you are Hindu..."Om Eim Sarasvatiye Swaha..." (I am not)

[princessinlove14]

I just found this today :) What a truly beautiful piece. I have been wanting to learn the violin forever. I have one but where I live there are no teachers and no orchestra so I have to teach myself. I do however play the French Horn :) and that is God's instrument. I love it :) Thanks for sharing the talent God has given you :)

[Elainelps0421]

@princessinlove14 The god of the French ;) The violin, however, is the God of all the universe!!!!!! :) I'm just kidding....all classical music is great, regardless of its source.

[beattet]

master pices :D

[voxhunden]

I mean, nothing too much, nothing held back.

[voxhunden]

You are very straightforward which is great:)
