Accolay Concerto in A Minor

[selinawinniejen]

bad sound qualilty other then that... NICE

[rolliepollieolliedoi]

ahah, a bit more than a hobby if you have only been playing for four years but are playing a grade 8 RCM piece ;P

nice job though

[iluminada333]

@rolliepollieolliedoi Thanks, and you're right, it's one of the things that I seriously enjoy and am fascinated by, I always practice to have actual fun. So it maybe is more of a passion than a mere hobby :D

[joparkeruk]

4 years, as a hobby? well done to you! you're doing really well!

[SirWilliamCo]

dang, that was good. i've been playing for 9 years (since 1st grade) and my recital is in 2 weeks :D.. too bad i couldn't play it 5 years ago.

[lovelyastronaut]

ahh, my maestro just put me on this piece, suddenly, without any warning. i actually really enjoy playing it, because it's not insanely difficult like i believed it would be nor is it insanely easy to master. it's a lovely piece, at that. :) you play it very well, i admire you for it.

[jose0117520]

al tocar el violin ay que evitar mover demasiado el cuerpo y se tocara con mas presicion y afinacion increible me gustaria ver a este joven tocar como le comento y se que va a ser extraordinario.

[iluminada333]

@jose0117520 Espero que sí, gracias

[omgitskenneth]

this playing is stupendous! i like it very much! i've been playing 4 years too! i'm also playing this. (i'm 13 now ) awesome playing! (again :P )

[iluminada333]

thanks :D !!

[freakforfish]

INNTTOOONATTTIOONNN. Otherwise, it was a great performance :)

[lexamericano]

@freakforfish yeah and the audio quality certainly doesnt help

[SAZOP]

Amazing!! Excellent performance

Congratulations! :)

[ryantortallini]

wow. a hobby for six months. ive been playin since i was 4 i just started this piece. i seem to have moved at a VERY slow pace. but u r terrific!

[iluminada333]

Thanx! but what do you mean by 6 months?

[ryantortallini]

srry. i red ur video decription wrong :p. i meant 4 years.

[Pattystarrynight]

q bien tocas.

[DarkSouls117]

hey Iluminada u tend to rush at the begining and somwhere around 6:39 you tend to move ur elbow with unessesary movement but other than that good job! =D

[jvparin]

THIS IS PHENOMENAL!!!! I've been listening to it for several times now, and I can't believe how well you played it! I'm playing this piece right now, and I don't think I can't even play it as well as you do. STUPENDOUS PERFORMANCE!

[iluminada333]

Thank you soo much. :)) I'm really glad that people like it !!!

[JosiePika]

Really nice. Even though you seem to be speeding up in a few parts,and being a but sharp, that may be because I was used to listening to my friends from my violin class play it a bit slower.

=D This is really good for playing for 4 years! I've been playing for 7 1/2 years, and I'm just moving onto this piece next year!

5/5

[707bambam]

you sound amazing, i have to agree at certain spots a little sharp, but i enjoyed your style and ur tone quality was bery good. i'm 17 right now and a senior, and i'm playing that piece for UIL solo and ensemble this year for viola. but i've been playing to seven years and i don't know if i could get it that good, but i'm going to try

[iluminada333]

Really?? thxxx:D i wanna cry :')

[Firestonezz]

ahh i need help on this piece i have been playing for 3 years.... ahh

[Sargeant109]

nice job on the conereto.

but you're little rust on sum parts

but ***** for playing it this well in only 4 years :D

[pazzhitta]

ugghmmm

algo desafinado pero bien :/

[careinn10]

ugh!!! i cant figure out how to play 2:15-2:17!!! can you help me here? thanks!

[iluminada333]

do you know the fingers? other than that you should just practice....

[nerdymusicgirl]

try perfecting ur intonation u r very sharp# BUT VERY GOOD PLAYING FOR A PERSON THAT HAS PLAYED FOR 4 YEARS

[DarkSouls117]

agreed

[spdlight7]

nice playing but needs more feeling on the slow part

[iluminada333]

Which slow part exactly? And do you mean more ritardando, which means play the slow part slowly :D enlighten me please.

[spdlight7]

first i have to congratulate you, i am absolutely amazed that you have accomplished so much in so little time, even though this concerto is not the hardest yet is not easy neither and yes, i mean more ritardando, it seems that the whole piece from the beginning is very mechanical. your intonation is very good except in one area you got out but overall very good. i will record this concerto to show you what how i see it, listen if you can igor oistrakh playing cantabile of paganini

[spdlight7]

check out my version of the concerto, it is not perfect like your performance but just so you can see what i mean on the slow part

[CorkyKirky]

I am learning this and so far i'm good at the 1st 4 lines!!! I have been playing the violin since i was three so this will be cool!!!

[olympian1980]

i just started to learn that, the left hand technic-skills it needs is very demanding therefore intresting. But overall i dont like the concerto very much, its boring and a bit crazy sometimes. Anyway... i enjoy playing violin so...

[irishhgirl16]

i've played violin for six years (i'm thirteen) and i'm about to start learning this piece. thanks for putting this up!

[Blazer775]

hey good job again i finished this song and im gonna play it at a student recital in july, i might post it up. ahg Bruch concerto in g minor now -.-

[RE55]

lol same here dude, but 5 yrs.

[DarkSouls117]

respond Iluminada33 to this if you are alive!

[iluminada333]

I'm alive lol :D

[vengard8]

this concert i will play in 15.june :) i wish i coudl play like you :)

[DarkSouls117]

5:12 is my fav

[DarkSouls117]

hey do ya live in the boston area?

I'm auditioning for BYSO with this peice.

[iluminada333]

Nope, I live in Turkey.

[no1superme]

I Played This About A Year Ago When I Was 10 And It Was Very Good If I Do Say Myself, Hehe, Unfortunately I Didn't Get A Recording Of It...

[iluminada333]

Wow; I was playing hide and seek at that age! :D what a shame...

[DarkSouls117]

The reason you play 4 years and play as good as someone for six years is because your 19. Your brain is more developed.

[iluminada333]

Oh, I didn't know that the person you're talking about wasn't 19...

[violinholicLOL]

thats not a valid argument cause im 12 and have been playing for 4 years and i already finished this song longggggggg ago so yea. but he's really good so dont make an excuse for y he's better then normal

[iluminada333]

Oh thank you :) But I think I must be better than Sarah Chang at age ten according to you, Dark :D:D:D But I'm obviously not. So let's enjoy our little Accolay until Carmen Fantasy comes :D

[kuncao0228]

it is a shame u started violin so late u couldve been very good : )

[iluminada333]

ah my sore spot !! But maybe one day.... I want to prove that....well, let's not kill the suspense shall we? ;)

[music92010]

sounds like we're on the same mission! ;]I've been playing for almost three years and I'm about to start this piece to play at an upcoming competition. Great job by the way! :]

[iluminada333]

Wow a competition? Sounds great, and good luck !

[violindork11]

Dang im jealous 4 years?

i've been playing 6 years and i just started working on this piece

keep it up :)

[iluminada333]

As long as you love playing violin, and you practice, it doesn't matter :)

[Blazer775]

can u give me some tips on how to practice 5:13?

thx

[iluminada333]

Right arm must move smoothly, and without sharp edges almost like an infinity symbol :D. Achieving that took longer than other parts because synchronization with left hand was very important. And overall, while being played continously, it also had to sound forte, powerful. I hope you see what I mean because while listening to Itzhak Perlman I had to find exactly what he was doing to sound musical, and unfortunately without seeing him; but u can see me lol :)

[Blazer775]

Thanks that actually helped

:D

[Blazer775]

very nice :D

5 star!

[iljincho25]

u kinda move too much while playing

[cococathy105]

4 years???!

wow ur fast..

[DarkSouls117]

iluminada, point your violin up a little more,

othere than that great job! Im 10 and Im audtioning for BYSO, and Im playing this piece!

[omg55912]

:P i think your posture if just fine! If not near perfect. Everyone is different slightly. Either you have an amazing teacher, you're more than a natural or you've read Leopold Auer's book "Violin playing as I teach it" SO WHICH IS IT? lol you're extremely good for only 4 years :D

[iluminada333]

I love playing violin so much that I can't even begin to tell you how much happy you just made me:D and I want that book !!

[Styledabebek6]

very very very nice:-)

[FiddleGirl123]

OMG Great Job!

Im gonna play this for my NYSSMA

its coming up on the 24th!

anywayz, u did great

im pretty gud at it for a 13 yr old (been playin since 2nd grade)

^-^

[lambofgodgey]

very nice, i am going to play this one!!!can you tell me what are the difficulties, and in which parts i must be careful?

[iluminada333]

At the beginning you should be extra careful to sound right and musical, after that double stops must be practiced with utmost care, to sound exactly right you must listen to them very carefully while you , then the saltatos at the second page were one of the hardest parts for me to get that jumping bow flowing, after that there comes a fast passage it must be practiced very very slowly and make the f's and p's as clear as possible (the tril-like things there should be emphasized too).

[iluminada333]

From 5:13 is the second hardest part; u can play the notes right but what is important there is the musicality;for it is an amazingly beautiful part you will want to play it elegantly so as to warm people's hearts... After that the last hard part comes:6:46. They are attached, so they are to be practiced extremely slow at first to get'em right (u'll accelerate l8r)

and be careful with the nuances which helps bring the music. The last page is the most fun to play play it forté and excitingly

[darong23]

You tend to rush in the beginning.

But overall, it's good. :)

Nice Vibrato and everything.

Just don't forget to breathe!!!

[ladybug2204]

i just played this for solo and ensemble!

[linkinpark8474]

Very nice. <3

[faithfulover]
