[Kukakusic]

I play the violin, and I was pretty good...

But she has exceeded SO far ahead of me...

Great performance... this piece is one of my favourites. I'm surprised you weren't able to find a recording of it because there are quite a few out there. I think the Grumiaux recording is the best - you can find it on amazon and it's on a CD called Mozart violin concertos - complete.

[KidMusician]

Thanks for your information. We, her parents, are not musicians, so we are learning with her.

she really did a good job. Shin Sihan on you tube played this piece too, two years ago he won the Dutch national concours with it, and two months ago he won again, with Zigeunerweisen.

[AndromedaAiken]

She's awesome but how come her pinky's straight on the bow instead of curved?

[KidMusician]

She is working on it, thanks for correcting. It's hard to relax all the muscles that you don't use.

[AndromedaAiken]

I'm really glad to hear it. She's a wonderful little musician and her violin sounds very great and very sweet! I can only hope I will have a sound like that when I get to her level. Where does she study music now?

[AndromedaAiken]

Oh I forgot! Just one more thing...sorry! Is she using a full size violin already? It looks a little huge though it does fit. =)

[sakura678910]

its probably just a habit. i play with my thumb straight instead of curved on the bow. it doesnt affect my playing at all. my teacher's always trying to get me to change but i cant :D

[thiscowsgotmoo]

well she's very good so it doesn't matter.

=]

[thiscowsgotmoo]

does her shoulder ever hurt?? because i used to use the same bowing method as her and my shoulder hurt alot..and i never figured out why. it seems as if she's moving her shoulder and arm alot...so..it looks painful.

[KidMusician]

She never has any discomfort with her shoulder. Her legs hurt sometimes, but I don't think it's related to violin playing.

[thiscowsgotmoo]

wow...eight years.

i've been playing like..5. haha.

she's soooo good!!!

this song's really pretty.

[thiscowsgotmoo]

oh my goodness this girl is amazing!!!!!!

bahahah only one year younger than me. xD

how long has she been playing??

[KidMusician]

Since she's 4 years old :)

[juliaCSL]

I like the form of her playing! great technique!

[sienna2112]

i am quite an advanced violinist, and i need to purchase a new violin, would you be so kind as too tell me what violin she is playing ??

[KidMusician]

Certainly, I will send you a personal message shortly :)

[pianogirl98]

Simply beautiful!!

[bluedoughnuts]

Soothing piece, beautifully played, with a particularly lovely ending (I mean the last few minutes, not bars). May I ask which kind of violin Gabrielle is playing now, please? Many thanks.

Christian Passy (UK).

[KidMusician]

We've tired more than ten violins since summer from different luthiers and vendors, and hope to find "the one" for Gabrielle that we can afford. The violin in this video has been returned in the process. I will send you personal message for more details.

[bluedoughnuts]

Yes, please do (send me a personal message).
