[cylcowenshen]

[wolfartist45]

this......is.....epic..... SHES SO GOOD T.T

[JSiskewl15]

I just got one up'd

[pr3typ0ny]

Normally when I see the thumbnails for videos of 9 year old virtuosos playing some really complex piece I curse under my breath. Then suck it up and watch it. But this.... THIS IS AWESOME

[TheDamn97]

i really like this song!!!

[CelloChick14]

Wow... I'm just learning this song and I'm a Sophomore in high school... and I'm considered "advanced" for the school I'm in... this girl has successfully made me feel like I need to practice 20 hours a day now.... 48 hours on weekends... I feel very shown up xD GREAT JOB!!!!

[Blackmagikartist8]

I play first violin and I'm in 7th grade and I feel like poop.

[bachsxoxogirl]

Respond to this video...  horrible? i hope you didnt mean that.

[MyKoIp]

[MyKoIp]

It's really gd !

[FrederiqueIndiana]

@zoepatrick1 Ha! And you need to fix your spelling!!

[hanwoolsong]

@FrederiqueIndiana lets see if u can do betta dan thiss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 bet u cant

[Nolakuer]

u r really good! im learning how 2 play this song now! :)

[dulcetronic]

what is her name? she rocks!

[TyeeRocks]

I thought you were rushing a tad bit. I sounds like the pianist was trying to keep up. Otherwise, I THOUGHT IT WAS AWWEESSSOOMMMEEE! :))

[staaaaci]

So, all of you are crazy. This is AMAZING :D

[tutorialmania8]

bad sound quality... you can only here the piano



[Gundu97]

WOW!

[KidKaos111211]

It was impressive that it was played by a nine-year-old, but the piece just didn;t seem to flow together, there were different tempos throughout, but I mean it's quite an achievement for a nine-year-old

[sir9integra9jr]

is there a good performance of this piece anywhere on youtube, or is it just a bunch of kids with overly-proud parents?

She's good, but I feel like any 9-year-old cellist could do this if they worked hard enough.

[BieberIGotSwag2]

She's only nine year old here?

This is awesome.

But at leasts she has some mistakes,ofc.

but this sounds amazing!

Girl,keep playing cello.you have a talent.

[AmiraSama]

holy gees! she is so good! I've been at this song for like 3 months and could only wish i could play it that well, I've only been playing for 1 year but this is incredible!

[wildilwh09]

she looks like 14

[MiddleSchoolBuddy]

Yea, she did rush a bit. But lets give her a break. Shes 9 years old, and playing at a national institute. I would be eccstatic if I could play half that well at my cello recital and im 14 :D

[musiclvrs2010]

I have been playing the cello since I was 4. thank you btw

[pplsuq]

How long have you been playing the cello? This is great by the way. You were wonderful, and you have a nice technique, very musical. =)

[MrVitanko]

very good. i play cello too.

[noreply6]

:O

oh my gosh she's so good

[77musicLoverZ]

sure she was rushing. oh well. shes a 9 year old genius protigee. cant believe that. to think im fourteen and i basically dropped my cello while playing terribly this morning.

[stoneblock12]

... Not bad in my opinion. She rushed which was a problem

[amikonyan]

you seems so relaxed :) it's really beatiful. Great job!

[ananion23]

SHE IS A GODDESS!!!!! Wish I could play like this...Im in book 3....

GREAT JOB

[Funkipotato]

and to think that through all that she keeps trying to get her hair out of her face.

[er000ski]

bravo !

[sailorfan1111]

OH. MY. Gosh.

I love it =)

[MagniXAriaste]

An excellent performance :)

Was it an exam or just a concert ?

[vampireslink]

She is so cute! And amazing! One thing I noticed is how her hand looks like a spider on the fingerboard. (hence the name tarantella -_-) Just so everybody knows {I actually might have this wrong} This piece was inspired from the death dance of a tarantula, and "tarantella" means spider-like.

[MagniXAriaste]

@vampireslink In fact, "tarantella", the name of this type of music comes from the fact that some people believed this music could cure a spider bite :)

[vampireslink]

@MagniXAriaste so I was sorta close hahaha ^_^v

[Liamst3r]

@MagniXAriaste No, the tarantella's purpose was to make the blood run quicker after deadly spider bites, as to make the people die quicker and less painfully.

[MagniXAriaste]

@Liamst3r Ok my mistake :/ Wikipedia seems not to be much informed about that xD (at least French Wikipedia)

[Liamst3r]

@MagniXAriaste Lol kay. I played the song for my grade 5 cello exam earlier today :D

[JaeChoi94]

this is just inhuman its so fast!!

[monoamiga]

Incredible!

[rawsushirollXx]

hulk dno deez felling in me is it jelousy?

[yersimapestis]

[nighahigafan123]

my fav part is 1:08

[Kasuhaku]

I'll be honest. This makes me mad :(. I'm 14 and playing this song... im very good but not nearly as good as her :/. But she is absolutely fricking amazing!

[gaak404]

This girl's videos are my fav on the whole website! I watch them all the time because I'm learning the Tarantella as well as the Appasionato. I try to learn from this and put into my own practice. My mom always refers to her nice bow arm, which I am trying to fix myself!

[BriskxRawr]

I cannot believe she's 9!!! She plays so well!!! Just wwoww! <3

[97anesa]

[lala11123]

[lifeIzzzjustadream]

wowowowowow incredible. i freaking love children who can play the PANTS off way older people. eat your heart out people. i'd say i want to be just like her but i can't because she's a few years younger. anyway, fabulous. keep being awesome.

[tututu000111222]

[twoleyko]

[MrHourglass]

Even if she was, still incredible.

[blackninja5637]

[sashababe12]

@PapermoonCutout just shut up and stop being a hater

[VPeng14]

@sashababe12 um she did rush ive played this song i would kno

[sashababe12]

@PapermoonCutout

[lifeIzzzjustadream]

@PapermoonCutout it would seem so a little bit but it's incredibly difficult not to, the piece is all over the place on the fingerboard. myself i hate piano accompaniments. i always rush.

[poppop828]

@PapermoonCutout Yes she was and the pianist was having a hard time keeping up.

But she's amazing. :) I play cello... Wish I had this talent and had started at the same young age that she did.

[thatsamazing1234]

@PapermoonCutout

She was...but it was still amazing

[Arcangelo13]

wow.. I've played the cello for 9 years but she's definitly better than me

[jramz91]

incredible, man she's only 9, she's going to go a looooonnnngggg way! thats for sure

[VileAl1]

kick ass performance i play this piece too!! keep working and ull be the best

[ekdus9720]

what grade is this piece for ABRSM?

[nekonaru16]

its a class 2 solo, thought it should very well be a class 1 piece, there are only about 4 cellists in my school including myself that can play this, out of about 20 cellists :/

[breakingfree4ever]

grade 7

[MrMusicmymuse]

She's good but tempo a bit unsteady

[kingofwalzer]

This girl is a talent!!! Greetings

[kvdp1805]

Great performance! VERY well played!

[Irockthebach]

She is fantastic! i have seen professionals play this piece and she is way better

[stfcfan1]

This young lady will go far in her cello career - expect her to perform at all the top concert halls. Absolutely fantastic playing of this piece. Amazing talent

[StupidUchihas]

Can u send me the sheet music? or at least where u got it...

[baronqsolotar]

It is from the Suzuki Cello series - Book 6

[StupidUchihas]

Oh. Well I <3 this song. I've been playing for nine months but I'm only on book 3 so... :-P

[SallyPalmer1]

@baronqsolotar brilliant! I'm 39 and have been playing the cello for 2 years. This piece is in my next exam aaaargh - I'll never be able to play as well as this girl, she's amazing! Is there any footage of her more recent performances? What an inspiration!

Sal

[baronqsolotar]

@SallyPalmer1 Here is her latest - National Cello Institute 2010 Hungarian Rhapsody by Popper

[ekdus9720]

[Katiej892]

Brilliant performance, for anyone not just someone that is young, looks like natural ability to me.

[Khari99]

set for life after college

[LadyHelC]

9 years old??? She's fantastic

[syren345]

She made some noticeable mistakes, but then again, I did too when I played this piece as fast as she did.

The middle section was fantastic. Lovely vibrato.

A truly inspiring performance! Bravo!

[Khari99]

true she did make some mistakes, but she played the piece so musically, they're hardly noticable

[shirleylin00]

Can you tell me who is your teacher? You did a great job! I love your music.

[daphney2b]

wow! i love this! who's the componist?

[xfishiehan]

dang you make me sound nooby!!!!

[sincerely33]

Wow! Very Good! I played this after 1 year and 1 month of lessons(weekly). And I used this to get into MCYO's YA. I am sitting in 3rd chair next to 8th graders. I am in 7th grade so I started cello in 6th grade.

[CeceliaRoseSwanson]

congratulations?

get over yourself this girl is really fabulous.

[sincerely33]

umm, yeah i know. im telling her this so that if she's not already in an orchestra (which she should be in considering her talent) she would probably make it in very easily cuz she's so freakin good.

[cheuk0wing]

thats amazing!

[burke7743]

the best on youtube that ive seen so far.

[Supervolcano117]

i never liked Tarantella that much. But then i've never seen some play it very well

[joshyfishie]

THATS AMAZINGGGGGG

you have basically taught me how to play this song!

apart from a bit of intonation and the piano being out

its like the best on youtube!!

[CelloMan008]

Wow. You are great.

[hannahbrrap]
