AMAZING BOYYY

[jingjing23guy]

on the E string, lightly pressing down on the B at the end before the pizzicato will make the same sound and is easier.

[minifelix1]

congratulations ! I appreciate your quality of sounds !

[ISazn12]

last part the glissando should't be as glitzy slow down your bow when playing the part but shift up the same speed as you did also try to use spicatto

[SebCarrasco]

@SebCarrasco haha thats so cool:) do u have any advice on playing this song??

[SebCarrasco]

@laxgirl270 Practice Slowly, and with different rhythm patterns. Also figure out where your whole and half steps are. It really helps :)

[SebCarrasco]

[memas171]

Sharing your play is sincerely appreciated. It is beautifull.

[xDwepee]

i loved the RIGAUDON part!

its just its not very musical to slam on the note

but nice job :D

your my age

[andiem789]

and you're YOUNGER than me! good job!!

[andiem789]

you play it better than I do!!!

[Eunjz]

how did you make every note to sound so clearly?

[SebCarrasco]

@Eunjz

I would practice it slowly, and then I would work on different rythm patterns

[theatregeek69321]

i have t oplay this for a judge on a viola. Any tips on how to get it that fast (drills, warm ups, etc) besides practice a lot. Kuz that doesn't seem to be working

[SebCarrasco]

@theatregeek69321 Try to use rythms. That's always a good start. Then, as my teacher says, "Always alternate fast passages by doing them fast, and then slow"

[lovingsinging100]

uh-mah-zhing :D

I love it!!

[TheSingingViolinist]

I absolutely LOVE the sound/tone of this violin! Kind of reminds me of a viola O_o... What kind of violin is this?

He is amazing!

[tbsjazz14]

[SingingForUs]

I love the woman playing the piano. She's like one of those really prim n proper old women we see in cartoons(: Love the music, I'm speechless.

[OneJesusLoves]

[mmcoopstar]

i dont kno much about the violin as i am a flautist but it sounds good. well done

[Tokgabi]

What a great violin . . .

[raeumi]

Well I for one think you play wonderfully. Keep up the good work!

[TheFrenchiesRock]

the cranking noise was a chair i think

[jogomez1974]

Es impresionante como este niño matiza sus interpretaciones.

[nicolenadiasophie]

amazing

[Augustusdavid]

I'm not quite "out of words" but very impressed nonetheless!!

[WhitelighterMae1832]

His playing is phenomenal! The only things needed working on are his elbow and making his vibrato more even. Sebastian, I am a fan! Keep playing:D

[Edge0323]

Excellent!(I'm out of words!):)

[jf2]

beautiful playing, great expressivity. felicidades and keep up the great work!

[tituscaesar]

What a tremendous violin virtuoso you are! Really enjoyed the second part from 2.22sec...it must require such concentration and self discipline both mentally and artistically. Bravo!

[WhitelighterMae1832]

When I play videos of Sebastian for my friends, they always guess that he's in at least his late twenties to his thirties. Heh, Like Heifitz and Perlman, Sebastian's name will be right up there with them. Nice sounding violin too:P What model is it? Sebastian has an old soul, playing well beyond his years. HE is that amazing! Go Sebastian!!!! I hope to see him in concert someday...

[violinist125]

i really love this piece and you played it really well. great job!!!!! the only constructive critisism i have i maybe you could of used a little more dynamics.... but it was really great

[rosscaq]

Sebastian, tocas precioso, casi me haces llorar de la emoción. Espero que te presentes pronto en México.

[AndrewMann552]

A wonderful, masterful performance! Sebastian Carrasco manages to capture the listener with the sheer energy of the piece and also inspires admiration for his skill in interpreting the song's unique, intricate labyrinth of notes. Kreisler aficionados should be impressed and all music lovers need to keep an eye on this powerful young talent, greater things are yet to come, be sure of it.
