National Cello Institute 2009 Allegro Appassionato by C. Saint Saens

[PokemonCelloLuver529]

OMG! Great performance! although i have to say, me as a 9 year old performing this better than you! this compared to me is um..... bad.

[ausstin625]

Omg why do I even try to have a talent when there's allways a ten year old better

[jdotj4]

O_O

[TheSilentVloggerX]

@MrRyanmcconnell your a douchebag gtfo. I played this and yes @runla2 is perfectly correct every way possible.

[Jasaxos]

I got this as a solo lol

She's beast!

[TheHomieTwon]

I'm jealous and inspired at the same time.

[zoepatrick1]

her accents are a bit toooo forced and work on your internation but great work.

[lindamgarvey1]

Hey mrryanmcconnell i want you to post a video of you doing it and show me that you know what you are talking about. Who ever is making critical comments and using "b" and "sum" and "spose" I'm not going to listen to. Learn to talk right and use capitols then write me back. Ok.

[MrRyanmcconnell]

really not as good as every says. i mean yeah she plays the right but theres a reason for tempo, which she changes throughout. i mean sum parts are spose to b slower but she slows down at a lot of parts that are meant to be up in tempo like the rest. yes she obviously has potential but keep practicing please.

[beachball10001]

@MrRyanmcconnell ummm....what are you talking about??? she is 10 YEARS OLD!!! what is the point of leaving a comment like this? i mean she is not a robot, she is human!! she is expected to make mistakes and she took some risks that made the piece better in my opinion! this is an inspiring video to many people including me. OBVIOUSLY, she has potential and I expect MANY great things from this young lady.

[brodouche]

@MrRyanmcconnell Don't you know that you're not allowed to be critical of someone if they're young? Heaven forbid someone tell them they made a mistake, then they might have to fix it.

[Annette1m]

@brodouche It's not that she shouldn't fix mistakes, but if she has come this far on the cello at her young age, she likely has a very skilled tutor who will notify her of any mistakes and help her fix them. There's really no need for criticisms of this little girl's performance when she is neither asking for help nor necessarily even looking at these comments. I kind of doubt she's scanning YouTube to see what words of wisdom a few know-it-all strangers have for her. Just enjoy the video.

[runla2]

@MrRyanmcconnell Are you kidding... You obviously have never played a solo piece or been in any group that has a soloist playing a piece. The whole point of being a soloist is to be featured yes, but in doing so you put your own spin on the piece and put emphasis in certain areas as opposed to others by adding/emphasizing dynamics or slightly altering speed to put more emphasis on a piece and then the accompaniment(orchestra of piano) then follow you, the soloist, you don't bend to them.

[liangpr]

@MrRyanmcconnell Your criticism was SUPER constructive! If it weren't for you pointing out small and unimportant technical issues how in the world would she ever know how to improve? It's not like the teachers at the National Cello Institute, who have been teaching for decades, could ever teach at the level you have obviously achieved. Good job, bro, keep it up! You should critique crippled children's running abilities while you're at it.

[OPeachieO]

perfection

[SuperRumpelstiltskin]

What a beast!

[regaldrifter]

very, very impressive. will see her in the later ranks of top cellists. good luck to her! wait, she doesnt need luck!

[Shrimpfriedricegirl]

she is AAHH-MAZING!! does anyone happen to know how many years she's been playing?

[TheAce747]

That is the perfect tempo for this piece in my opinion

[sophisable]

i love the way you play... wonderful!

[juzzhubbly]

BRAVO!

[sara91mf]

es increible!!!! me he quedado asombrada...y solo tiene 10 años!! y yo teniendo 19 no me sale asi!! la verdad que ver esto me motiva mucho :D está genial!

[imanarwhaleee]

[HolySagar]

[MyMerp86]

Currently I'm also playing this piece and I've been practicing it for about 3 months now. It's a wonderful piece and you play it really good! I'm having a lot of trouble shifting to different positions so fast but it's a fun piece. :)

[KaityKate22]

and she's ten in the video??? WOW!!!! She's amazing, and that's coming from someone who'se played the violin for eight years!!!!!!! You are so good. Never stop, you're too talented! :)

[musiclvrs2010]

[TheDayZs]

This video makes me a little sad that I have been playing for almost 3 years, and I am not nearly as good as this girl!

[isabell474]

I have been playing for 7 years and am planning in playing this for college auditions... I cannot do it. Great job. I don't know how to get like this...

[141Flyman]

@keen4 lol! I don't feel your pain at all!!! I'm 13 and have been playing cello for 2 and a half years!!! Personally, I love this piece, and I intend to get an outstanding soloist award with it this weekend at solo and ensemble!!!

[CerebralCortexan]

[WTFHoRiZon]

with it i would love to hear elgars cello concerto!

or gabriel faure's elergy!

and then work your way up to schostakovich's sonata like the one im working on right now :]

never the less i loved this great job :]

[A3cello]

You're absolutely amazing! The "children prodigies" such as you are so lucky... I were 13 when I played this piece...I really enjoyed it and I still do... Now, I'm going to work on Saint Saens' concerto...I'm 14 but I feel so old when I see you play!

Keep working, you're maybe the next Du Pre! ;)

[JaeChoi94]

I see she got the rushing from tarantella fixed lol!!

[takeru91]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not to mean but at 0:45 i think you had a rythem wrong. and at 2:45 i think i heard an out of tune note. BUT AMAZING and as a tip on the sixteenth note scales its easier to hit the top E as a harmonic the first scale of the 2 on both sets
