Bravo Rachel! Loved this! Is this your own arrangement?

Someone please tell me where I can find the violin sheet music for this, so that I don't have to go all the way to Scotland just to get it. Thank you!

Miss Rachel, I think if you and David Greenberg teamed up and released an album my head may explode from the sheer brilliance of it :)

As a violinist, my opinion is this, If you want something bad enough you will go to any extreme to make it happen. I was often told I was a natural, but I just really really wanted to play violin, and play it well. So you practice for hours on end to be the best you can be, some ppl arent perfectionist, but you can tell RBP is...like any great musician.

I like the way Racehl talks to the audience a lot in these vids, it's so much more friendly and intimate, she's not one of these superior, cold violinists. Great stuff :)

Rachel was not born with this gift, she aquired it through years and years and years of mind-boggling hard work. She earned this gift, it wasn't given to her.

She may have been blessed by God to be born into an environment conducive to classical instrument studies, but the talent is all hers, earned by her iron will and persistence.

Actually Rachal IS one of the uncanny prodigies that we all dream of being..yes she has worked and practiced but she picked up violin as a tiny child at a pace unheard of-playing virtuistic pieces as a very young girl. We who work and slave could never play like this--she has a VERY special gift at the highest level and it is to her credit that she has worked hard. Mediocre talent that practices 8 hours a day will improve but never sound like her.

I recommend you check out either the book "Talent is Overrated" or "Outliers". You will be amazed about the conculsions of over 30 years of research has to say about so called "gifts". In a nutshell, "gifts" for music and sports (aside from physical characteristics inherited), are either EXTREMELY rare or more likely, they don't exist. 99.999% of all great musicians got there one way...years and years and years of deliberate practice, guided (professional) and deliberate practice.

I understand what you are saying-an I agree that an excellent violinist can be built in this way-but not a prodigy; Ida Handel for example who essentially picked up the violin at about 5 years old, figured it out and began playing it. Rachel played with little effort or guidance the WARHORSES. I think many things come together neurologically at once to create the violin prodigy--many different types of photographic memory, including auditory, senosory. People like Rachel are a rarity.

First, I'm an atheist, so in no way am I invoking God here. However, I disagree with your comment.I'm finishing a degree,however,I used to be a musician. Anyway, anybody who becomes good on their instrument(s),must have both a genetic and environmental component involved. I loved music, I naturally gravitated towards the Guitar, however, as you stated, it took me many years before I could started playing they way I wanted to.Again, it's genes and environment that make a musician great.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I see many "prodigies," but there is no mysterious gift. Most children could be prodigies if they were made to practice eight hours a day, and personally, I think that calling it a mysterious god-gift devalues their hard work. Thanks for asserting that.

i dont beleive that. if you work really hard and truly want to be a great musician, you can be. you can become just as amazing as Rachel Barton Pine if you are willing to stay with it. and she did accel at an amazing rate but everyone does at their own pace.
