[PigPenguin91]

I love this piece. :) I'm in Suzuki book 5, and I'm excited to play this piece. It sounds like fun!

[xheavenrich]

I love this song, memorized it!

[ccisnotit]

I love this song! I'm learning it and I think it's a fun piece to play

[morthesanctus]

Prefer Vivaldi's



[millsashington]

this is inaccurate and is not the same as the original version that corelli arranged... which is sitting right in front of me; for anyone learning corelli's arrangement of la folia for the violin, do not listen to this...

[ccisnotit]

@millsashington this is actually the rearranged version of la folia. Suzuki rearranged it.

[Musicalme96]

@millsashington as the suzuki method is a teaching method, the selections in the books are edited for optimal educational purposes...you may notice in the suzuki books that the vivaldi violin concerto in a minor is also edited, to make it more difficult

[HerrWarja]

How could Corelli write something "for violin and piano" nine years before the first prototype of the piano was made?

[ClaudioSebian]

I listen this music in my extensive pratice of magic. Beautifull.

[Farfo]

Corelli rocks the fuckin' roll on, motherfuckers

[skijmac2]

@NotoRawr1 OP does say "from Suzuki Volume 6."

[jacks777a]

great song!

[pde1234321]

This song is amazing...i just wish i could play it that good.. :P

[clonedecalmaker12]

I'm playing this for my violin recital

[ccisnotit]

@clonedecalmaker12 I am too, with harp.

[juancho425car]

One of the favorite of Shinichi Suzuki, gorgeous theme, viva corelli, viva suzuki!

[vuotopieno]

Genio italiano puro.

[sofiandosullacicoria]

Bellissimo struggente

[CreepypastaMLP]

A bit too slow? And the Vibrato needs some work. Also, the sound sounds chunky/raw, not clear and crisp.

[1ptate]

Geez......all u criticizing this work is harsh! I didn't know classical music fans could be so cruel! This is too hilarious!

[42TheCube]

Not a bad playing, but vibrato sounds too tight and fast. I've been trying to correct my tight vibrato for months and mine still sounds better than this. I thought this was supposed to be sweet, not heavy?

[bluelightdawn]

Can somebody explain me why it sounds so much like Handel's Sarabande?

[mermaidlion00904]

I'm playing this on my violin, and it's really fun.:)

[ModellMeister]

which idiot is playing it ? this may sound awesome if corelli lived in 1880 but its absolutely DISGUSTING to hear it in baroque. It makes it sound sappy, and baroque is all about a clean crisp yet sweet sound.

[CrappyRunescapeVids]

ah.. I remember book six Suzuki. This was one of my favorite songs by far. I just graduated Suzuki a couple months ago. I thought that I would never say this, but I miss the concerts and practices. Hold on to the memories while you have them!

[evanovljan]

Irealy like this. Iplay violin 9 years of my lifo(from 3rd birthday), so i now what is good and whatt is not good. i think then here arent to much vibrato, because there must be a lot of it.

[zheruixuan]

this sounds really squeeky

[Shadowsheep1]

I swear if you stare at his face long enough he looks like a woman

[violinftw]

@Shadowsheep1 lolololol.



[ccisnotit]

@Shadowsheep1 I little bit... I think that his nose is a little big :) But the music is still good

[xoruhtra]

Does anyone know if this is the recording from the Suzuki Book 6 CD, or if his is npatton15's own recording?

[jimmymac98]

AWESOME!

[charrotenegro]

hahahah i think that i wont like Lady GAga any more!!!

[Shanesakoolkat]

Amazing piece, i am playing it for state nexts year, its simply amazing.

[walkingwithlordfusaw]

oh,Suzuki volume 6!!! i'm playing Vivaldi's concerto on volume 4 now.... i wanna play this piece some day!!!!!

[anadimini]

see the Follia by barock violin, if you want. In original version with harpsichord!:)

[JadieDarling]

we're going to play this in our school orchestra

[mvsplayer]

This is Emotion (DJ ROSS)

[EPICFAILSAM]

You have a very rich vibrato and sound. You try a little heavier of a piece. I recommend Romanza Andaluza by Pablo de Serasate. It has a lot of chords and requires some technical work so consider yourself warned haha. But I think you would play if very well. Good luck with the playing

[gymnast768]

toally butchered this piece today at solo and ensemble :(

[MrPino92]

se questa e' follia ,voglio essere un felice pazzo.

if this is madness,I want to be a happy madman

[ccisnotit]

@MrPino92 me too!

[kyungsang456]

its good song

[Margaux3200]

You're right about the vibrato. Nonetheless, it is beautifully done. Thank you for sharing!

[chinchilla641]

who's playing?

[kiop9000]

Oh wait nvm my speakers were uneven

[kiop9000]

Holy fuck the pianos too loud

[MrSquirrel13]

does anyone know where I can get the sheet music for this free? I played it a few years ago, but it was a watered down version, and I want the original

[SybeleCorp]

I actually liked it with much vibrato, though.

[RostyVer]

Sepolto al Pantheon. Giustamente.

[Cypho51]

Et aprés ils viendront nous faire chier avec Lady Gaga...

[lewars1912]

Mr Handel's been stealing.

[HerrWarja]

@lewars1912 No he hasn't. All the works from named Folia is based on a old dance from Portugal with the same chords and basline. Vivadli, Corelli and many other composer has made variation on this base. Even romatic like Rachmaninov!

[lewars1912]

@HerrWarja Then they have all been stealing............

[HerrWarja]

@lewars1912 No they haven't. Since the chordprogression is so common it is not stealing. These chords are typical for of the baroque. Much as the "blues chord form" is in jazz. They took some chords and basslines and made it to their own. Listen to the diffrent versions. Quit diffrent indeed, but also alike!

[lewars1912]

@HerrWarja I agree with you. It's not stealing. It's just borrowing.

[AsherAshlag]

Liszt lived some 200 years after Corelli. So the answer is NO. Corelli did not take a single note from Liszt.

[PIAN0PLAYER5]

someone please answer my question. did coreli base this off of liszt's rhapsodie espagnole, or was it the other way around?

[misterviolinmaster]

corelli rocks!!!

[awwegerle]

I'm 12 and Im memorizing this song for a contest. Its a fun song. You never get bored with it because of all the tempo changes. Great song!

[ccisnotit]

@awwegerle I've memorized it!

[addictedtoyourmouth]

precioso

[31122051]

ARCANGELO CORELLI = MERAVIGLIA DEI COMPOSITORI. ESECUZIONE SUBLIME ! COMPOSITORE STRAORDINARIO ! UOMINI COSI' SEGNANO LA STORIA.

[TheTimeTraveler100]

My god - I did not realized I commented on this video 3 months ago.

Anyhow, like what I said before - this is a very charming piece!

[Jesusfreak773]

I love this song. You can put so much emotion in it. It makes me thankful that I can play. =)

Have a great day!

[Scocca73]

he is great!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Allthesepseudonyms]

This dude had a CRAZY face, and even crazier hair!

(Oh and the music was alright, by the way.)

[ccisnotit]

@Allthesepseudonyms I've always said that his nose was too big, but the music is good :)

[VeganGirl1011]

Sooooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my fave song in violin. It is pretty difficult. I LOVE IT!!!!

[SkyldensSkygge]

I love this piece its one of my signature pieces I play for lots of concerts and contests! I don't think this track has enough emotion in it though..... It's very straight forward. *shrugs*

[TheTimeTraveler100]

Still inlove with this euphonious composition for so many years...

This is so beautiful, elegant, magnificent and marvelous.

Gives me a reason to believe that Humans could achieve such level of music and artistic capability.

[pyrrooo]

I listen to it everyday so I can laugh. lol.

[TheMaestroBrad]

Not the right sound for this piece in my opinion; Needs more baroque lift and less vibrato. I also would have appreciated more dynamic contrast and tempo variation (there is a lot more marked than is performed here). The piano, however, is played wonderfully simplistically (though sometimes a little too pompous for my taste).

[thehodgerjr]

I love this piece learned it 2 years ago and now I'm coming back to it to play for my graduation!!

[violingirl03]

so pretty!!!!! I'm playing this for my recital next week.....very nervous!!!

[archrelyrist]

who the heck is the drama queen with the bow? just wondering!

[trebletwee]

i'm doing this for viola but not a suzuki version...its longer and it has i think 24 variations! SO HARD!

[musicalmickey]

isnt that from the CD thing for suzuki?

[Musiclver27]

doing a competition with this tomorrow...getting kinda nervous but thats ok

[tjg524]

too much vibrato...baroque music isn't known for vibrato, if you used this much vibrato on a Bach piece it would be fine. but overall great job

[246trinitrotoluene]

ya, typically if you're playing a baroque piece for accuracy you'll do without vibrato and only use the time's instruments.

for a performance though, it doesn't really matter

the real problem is that this song is boring.

that's one problem with suzuki.. it's too baroque-centric and too many boring pieces are included

[pyrrooo]

@tjg524 no, this much vibrato would NOT be fine for a Bach piece...

[owencatterall2002]

@tjg524 I agree with the comment on vibrato, but is Bach not Baroque? Late baroque, but still baroque.

[petersun21]

@tjg524 SAYS WHO?

[Ariehuisje]

@tjg524 ....except Bach was known for compositions so genius you wouldn't need vibrato. His music was on that subject quite simple. You're right on the baroque part i think, it's just that Italian composers were known for expressiveness, so a little vibrato would be fine. Not too much indeed.

[BellaBellaIzabella]

Enchantingly energetic!

[galstafferoc]

Hmm, i should ditch mozart and do this piece instead...

[GlassColors]

Yay! I'm using this arrangement to UIL solo/ensemble in a few weeks. This is a reallyyyy good reference. :)

[chr9is]

Who's the violinist playing this?

[prcat9]

I'm playing this piece for contest, and this is going to help a bunch so I know how it goes with the piano. Thanks!

[crcm1993]

I'm performing this piece tomorrow night and this recording has been an enormous help in learning it! Thanks so much!

[klebror]

expressive, I've been on this song for over half a year with my teacher, and i still love it

[npatton15]

Oh me too. I am working on it for contest.

[musicalmickey]

@klebror lol. same... though the double stops r hard

[musicalmickey]

@musicalmickey ps how does do the bouncy thing for the fast part?

[anadimini]

see Follia by barockviolin, if you want, in original version with harpsichord!:)

[bluejazzful]

so great!

[Grobanite122549]

i love it so beautiful :]

[felixps0000]

perfecto!

[andrew96746]

no trust me i dont know what andrew your talking about im only in middle school and i play violin and What concert r u talking about?

[tjg524]

Is this a level 5 or 6 NYSSMA? Because I'm doing this piece and I was wondering what level what it was

[ethositachi]

once violins can accompany themselves us pianists won't be reduced to playing simple chords in the background (anything more complicated and the audience would be confused as to who is accompanying who).

[AEFic]

Well, I believe there will be a long time before such a violin will be created. You should make one! You'd get famous!

[SkopTeocratico]

Bellissima, come sempre! E' un viaggio.

It's named "La Follia", with two l (like Corelli). in english it is named "the madness".

[briniemusician]

Just wondering.... who is playing this????

[andrew96746]

Im finally learning it YAY

[Dragonoid906]

my teacher is trying to make me learn this is 2 weeks lol

it's cool anyway :)

[npatton15]

Ah for what?

And its not too hard to learn that quickly. But still a challenge to make it sound well! =D Good Luck!

[Dragonoid906]

recital coming up

[SanelLeef]

Trying to learn this now, thanks for posting it up!

[o0Pearl0o]

my friend played this on the piano, and it sounded soooooo awsome :D

[mlbenedict]

Who are the artists?

[puddingpimp]

@mlbenedict , Not sure who the actual artist is, but this recording is definitely from the Suzuki Violin Volume 6 accompaniment CD, I've listened to it far too many times to miss it. you can probably find out from that if you can lookup the ISRC code.

[npatton15]

Yeah the suzuki version is changed a bit from the original, but I like this one better. I think it flows better.

[KillerD1017]

i have suzuki book 6 and it has no changes in it from this version to whether it is the original composition of the piece, i am not sure, tho i doubt it is

[melanieanne24]

I've never listened to a recording of this. Turns out I was playing it correctly the entire time! Score! This solo is sooooo much fun to rip out on the violin!

[MahLogin]

Urgh I realized that my beats were off by a little bit after watching this video... Now I have to relearn the song.... Well, better than not knowing I guess... Thanks for posting this video.

[AugLeon]

By the way, this is the second response, but thanks for the bio on the man! I noticed in the suzuki you hit an higher octave e-flat oddly enough I was curious that he didn't write much above a D on the E string...hmm! Thanks for the information

[AugLeon]

Im playing this for solo and ensemble, i'm really nervous, I have a different variation but I like them both, this is a amazing piece Arcangelo wrote!

[snakeBISHOP]

Very similar to Handel "Sarabande", which i think is copyed after Corelli's "La Folia"

[npatton15]

Well actually a Folia is a well known chord progression that many composers have used in there music. Corelli has taken it and made 11 variations in his song I think. Handel has just made a different variant of it.

[Sorasfriend]

@snakeBISHOP it is! its a very beautiful variation of la folia if i remember correctly

[Sorasfriend]

@snakeBISHOP kind of, i mean its got the same theme, i guess you could say its a like a variation of it (somewhat)

[KarlAmade]

@snakeBISHOP

Nononoo..... The Folia is a theme only, and the same with the Sarabande. Both are melodies from the Iberian Peninsula. There are hundreds of folias and sarabandes, and they are similar all of them. Strict rules.

[MinaLeez]

@snakeBISHOP Yes. I'm playing both pieces and everyone gets confused because when I sing it they say either, "Oh yea! La Folia!" or "Oh yea! Handle's Sarabande

[Zarag0d]

Beautiful!
