  • A great musical performance. This is not just difficult, it is fantastically difficult. Don't forget this is not a mixed studio performance, with the opportunity to repeat bits you don't particularly like, but a one off in front of an audience. The accompanist is extremely impressive too.

  • i wish i could play half tht good

  • if it is with piano it not solo!

  • She did a good job. It was out of tune quite a few times but performances can make someone nervous, so I don't care about that. I do have criticism about the detaché though. I would have much rather preferred spiccato or at least some type of shorter stroke.

  • bravo

    

  • makes me wanna get off my bed and look under it to find my violin .... nah I'll continue to air play vicariously through her

  • this better that vengerov you must be nuuuuts :p lol

  • @illidur of course @winrx can do it, he/she just needs maybe 2-3 weeks to practice

  • it's awesome and impressive music !

  • Performance accidents are part of what live performances are about. If you don't think this is a difficult piece then...what do you want? A cookie? Difficulty is all relative and as someone who has studied and performed this piece myself I can say that in my opinion it is difficult. What I will say about this performance is that she kept the pace going well and despite the accidents her rendering was musically effective nonetheless. The recording quality isn't good and that's not helping.

  • omg... amazing..!!

  • this high school rag violinist got more hits than Heifetz's video! LOL

  • @freeqwerqwer

    time will tell...

  • @magicsparkleviolin

    Oh, and also that first high f is a semitone sharp.

  • @magicsparkleviolin

    It really isn't. Wieniawski's violin concertos are difficult, especially no 1. This is just a theme that repeats two times with a slower middle section sandwiched between them. This performance is okay, but it lacks dynamics and good bow control, what Galamian called "direction".

  • How did this girl of mediocre talent and looks get so many hits? lol

  • @winrx if its mediocre can you do it? that song doesn't look easy to me.

  • very talented girl !!

  • Everyone's saying the notes are off, but to someone who's never heard this song before, is seems she's she's doing amazingly. The song also sounds like it could have been written to be played like this - though apparently not many people seem to think so besides me. =P

  • Im in love

  • Bravo! Keep it up!!

  • to clear me up on this is there a major difference between the sound of a violin and that other thing thats smaller and looks just like it i forgot the name of it sorry. or do you guys also tune violins a certain way like we tune guitars for a certain song?

  • Wow amazing, I'm 16 and I just finished playing this song, It was probably the longest I've ver worked on a song. But yah ur amazing and keep up the great work :)

  • ummm....ewwwww......pretty out of tune......why all the detache??? It's supposed to be off the strings......

  • @CrazyMan064 This is a pretty difficult piece..cut her some slack.

  • ummm....ewwwww......pretty out of tune......why all the detache??? It's supposed to be off the strings......

  • I love the Sound of a violin! that is Why I use a Violin Bow and play my Guitar at Some times like a Violin!

    Such Beauty she is Playing

  • Sound is such not perfect. Almost 1/4 of notes are false ;) That's not good performance :/ This kind of playing is good when you playing a'vista.

  • Very good.

  • shes good but i still think vanessa mae is better she has music videos and she can play the full version of the devil's trill with no difficulty

  • @18tsuki If you're going to give a compliment there's no reason to say someone is better. Also there's no reason to talk about Mae on this video.

    Learn how criticism works!

  • I'm just learning to play.. Wish I was that good. I think it was super

  • Apart form the minor intonation problems in the upper positions, your vibrato could be a bit freer. Try moving your wrist and fingers more. one exercise to try is to do vibrato on your right fore arm. You shouldn't be pressing down any harder than that. Otherwise a great performance!

  • I believe great performance. a girl who can move so fast on fingerboard and rythmic bow, she knows better than you guys. where she is making little mistakes.

    The one keep critisizing, plz post your videos and let us learn ..how you guys play.

  • good

  • I love it

    But next time you should close the piano it is MUCH too loud

  • this piece is hard

  • Those of you violinists will agree with me that as students, it is always tougher to hear if it is in tune when you are the one playing.

  • what violin does she have?

  • Beautiful!!!!

  • wow i don't think i could ever play that fast

  • Zajebiście grasz ! ;*

  • oeh I soo like this one

  • I like your enthusiasm. If you put good solid notes into this song, it'd be fantastic. :)

  • i rather enjoyed the music and i have no qualms in saying i enjoyed it because it was music..i was not looking for what she did wrong or right..i just focused on the music

  • very good! i love your style it's so good but too much notes out of tune or wrong! but still love the performance, i like that velocity

  • PERFECT  thats the word for this performents

  • some notes are wrong but i love her position and right arm is so powerful

  • Almost all of her notes were wrong

    TERRIBLE

  • good harmonic at 1:36. i have trouble with that more often than not =[

  • ts amazing how the movement of your body(fingers) can create such wonderfull sounds

  • Only problem is intonation. However, great performance. I could hear the artistic feeling in your playing :).

  • You're amazing !

  • Very good ; )

  • wow!! wow!!!!

    just... wow!!

  • Your amazing (: I hope to be as good as you some day x

  • Amazing! Wow! Inspiration to push me further into playing the violin! Thanks!!! This is great.

  • Damn good job! Don't listen to what other people say about your intonation I know how much of a beast that song is!

  • I know that it seems they are trying to put her down, but it's just constructive feed back. No matter how hard it is, the intonation could've been much better, and it just takes more practice to achieve it. It sounds much better with good intonation, but it was still an overall good performance of the piece :).

  • intonation, intonation, intonation!!! :)

  • U should work on your intonation, otherwise its quite good. maybe more dynamics would be better also.

  • Way to go sweetie! Keep playing that violin!

  • 513 comments .That tells you something.Just needs a few discreet delays to give it more impact.

  • very lovely to listen to, though the sound quality does her no justice, she is pretty talented in my book for playing the piece with the ammount of heart that she did.

  • i love how people listen to a person play a song they will never even attempt to play and criticize them. STOP HATING NIGGGAAAAH ;p

  • Give her a break. I have a person learning to play the bagpipes across the road... You actually chose to listen to her so cut her some slack.

  • That's amazing!

    You have fantastic technique!

  • i wish i was 1/1024th this good.

    she plays very well.

    =)

  • so beastly

  • You are absolutely great - yes there are a few off notes here and there but they can be sorted with slow careful practice. I think the piano is too overpowering, but your interpretation I believe is very good.

  • wow lightning fasst lol

  • shiiiitttt this thing looks fast forwarded lmao her arm is soo fast xD awesome job. i'd nvr be able to do that, just looking at it cramps up my arm Lol

  • Way to go. That is a real workout and you did great. Your talent brings joy to people. Stay with it. :)

  • Her sound doesn't appeal to me, but she is good. Her technique is excellent, but musically, its not very pleasing to me. Some of the leads are nice, its just too random. There is no feeling to it. I don't know if she knows how to phrase with feel. She also lacks in a bit of bow technique.  I wouldn't mind this while watching tom and jerry though ;)

  • there is not much muscially in this piece...

    its really 99 percent technique...

  • why there is no "much muscially" in this piece?

  • because it's a very technically challenging piece, and was not written to be dramatic and emotional.

    any violinist, even without playing the piece, should be able to tell that.

  • @bungnugget how about you upload a video of you doing having more "feel" while playing your guitar.

  • @Herthum

    What a great way to take criticism. :)

  • and u have horrible taste

  • pyramidhead? have you cosidered "blockhead"?

  • the violin is a wonderful instrument.

    The place she just played at is very bad accoustically

  • u need to make your sautee mroe pronouced...

    a little more accents on a few notes...

    and not ur fault but its either the acoustics or the camera but da sound quality sucks

  • i´m studing it now and it´s not very easu natedornbirer... nice cantabile! carry on practicing girl!

  • Lots of bum notes. Needed more practice. I understand how it is though. You can't move a concert back just because you need a few more days. I've seen the sheet music for this piece. It's pretty intense.

  • watching her playing that violin makes me want to buy one and take violin lessons, dno why just this wonderful music is a masterpiece!

  • @ingimann the sibelius violin concerto is a masterpiece, especially the 3rd movement

  • you obvisouly havnt heard any good violinists. The audio in this vid probably doesnt do justice. plus she isnt that good to be honest.

  • no i have not herd a whole lot of good violinists but i still thought she was pretty good

  • Fantastic!

  • Beautiful is all I can say!Any1 doubting this girls ability put up a video of yourself in the video response section!Bunch of know it alls!!!Well done great performance!

  • Muy buenas ideas pero mucho cuidado con la afinación (!!!).

  • I think you have your own style and should work on that using it to create your own improvisations. I do not believe your intonation is quite good enough to be highly successful but if you use the talents that you have I think you can make that violin sing and improve your style so that you hone that induvidual element in your playing. Just an observation.

  • Wow, that was so great! i wish that i could play half as good!

  • In reality wouldnt the Tarentella dance just make the venom circulate faster in your blood?? Killing you faster?

  • Someone get the Nobel Prize for this genius!:p

  • Fast page turning!

  • now that is how you play people. Amazing!

  • Even though she's goin a liiittle off when ever she hits that high note in the repetition,I can't be a judge for this amaizing piece....You trully are a master of your instrument.

  • how can i download this on my mp3

  • Oh my god! You're AWESOME!! I listen to this EVERY DAY!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!

  • The intonation is superb, good observation Mayerlackika.

  • Intonation.

  • damn, that grl can play!!

  • Zgroza

  • to jest nagranie jakims apratem juz nie przesadzajcie z tym dzwiekiem !!!! laska umie grac i to nie ulega watpliwosci

  • WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

    Violin is not gun for killing people...

  • Dziewczynka ma zero kontaktu z akompaniatorem.o za to brzydkim dźwiękiem.NieczystPorażka.Grał­am to.

  • GOOD JOB!!! I wish i could play my tenor saxophone as good as u play that violin!

  • I have uploaded Mendolssohn violin concierto nicole - don´t know how to link them up, so anyone who is interested in an update this is your opportunity.

  • wow! i wish i was that good!!

  • ur very good

  • astonishing!

  • That was phenonenal performance.. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • wow ur so amazing!!!!! Keep up the great work... so beautiful lol =]

  • wow!!!! nice!

  • nice..its very good..

  • you're amazing.

    kudos for using god's gifts and fulfilling your potential:]

  • anyone know where i can get sheet music for this? :(

  • give them alittle credit

  • So why do you keep watching it?????

  • omg ur soooo cool im still in my high school orchestra i hope i can play like that one day...hehe much love

  • awesome, it took me 10 years to get this good...

  • wow!!! :O

  • dayyyuuuumm.

  • holy shit

  • piano plays too much forte and violin is covered by it! however, good (hand)job!

  • que velosidad imprecionante

  • damn

  • if you close your eyes while lisening ot this music you will see pictures in your mind its so beutiful

  • you should stop watching youtube vids while taking acid.

  • haha, good;]

  • I think she did a GREAT job. You can't blaim the sound quality on her. It's the camera. Plus, the shit's hard. You would know if you play the violin.

  • muy bien

  • c'est faux du début à la fin. En particulier tous les intervalles montants sont trop bas, y compris dans les phases legato... Je ne parle pas des fusées. J'espère qu'elle ne joue pas à l'orchestre!

  • fucking out if tune in the beginning.

    but, it happens. especially with a song like this.

    good jobbbb

  • bummer about the sound quality...

    can't hear proplerly

  • This is good. If people say the intonation is bad, think of the room she's in. That affects how the piece sounds and also what type of camera. That too affects it, so don't go blaming her when you don't think about all the possibilites DX

  • Intonation is bad. You need to practice slow. I can tell that you've just been playing though it at full speed. What a mess.

  • complete shit. no offence

    and i do know what im talking about.

    do you get nervous?

    coz if you do you should try this thing called Bach's remedy (it rly exists im not making up shit)

    it helps you relax when your about to perform.

    i do play violin. and when i have to play fast runs that are a bit risky that stuff really helps you get over those stupif nerves

    :)

  • 1.) It is obvioiusly very hard to show emotion in this type of music.

    2.) Intonation is horrible. Sorry = \. I stopped listening at 2:00.

    3.) Just from watching your facial expression, you seemed like you were struggling, and you shouldn't be when you made so many mistakes. Sorry, there is just nothing better to say.

    Good attempt.

  • Its a wonderful piece... but it seems kind of dead... almost like you were playing out of obligation rather than real want of it. I dunno, that could just be me-- I have no idea about violins anyway.

  • alot of comments were like yours and i agree but... you dont think maybe it's the sound quality making it sound that way?

  • you're a fucking idiot. it's solo if there isn't any other violins playing. stop trying to make a point dipshit.

  • piano accompaniment

  • LOL U NEWB Its Solo violin, and the piano is just soloing.

  • Piano just accompanying*

  • Back 1 yr. later to view video again and understand why thousands have tuned in: your musicality. Heifetz'rendition is "note perfect", but compared to yours it sounds somewhat robotic. You study in Bilbao, Spain? Why not post a new video so we can appreciate your ongoing progress?

  • the a and e strings kill me and my solos

  • Tonite's Season Premiere of AMERICA'S GOT TALENT had some incredible violinists, way better than this. They were AMAZING!

    These two brothers are ridiculously talented and deserve to win. Thats why this show is so good, cause it gives rare talents like these two VIOLINISTS to showcase their skills.

  • great job! :D I just started taking violin lessons a few weeks ago. Wish me luck :p

    but as I said, it was amazing :). Don't listen to the fools who THINK they know what they're talking about ;)

    hehe, byebye

  • cool good luck!

  • thank you very much :)

  • U were very good!!! Don't listen 2 those other ppl. U have talent, and should keep playing!!!! =)

  • Wow empressive! I always wondered how people who play the violin can figure out where to put the fingers...

  • ah i wanna get started in playing the violin but i have absolutely no idea how i should get into this =S

  • See if a local music store gives lessons. I started the violin at my school but I might take private lessons this somewhere.

  • try with vivaldi better, let this to heifetz

  • yes, of curse but she not play bab, ocuratily, working good with bow, (intonationt it's problem in every people) Heifetz, Menuhin they are not play absoluty. this movie not bad playing

  • Oh, mademoiselle so good. I think you work more about your bow. on 3-page g-dur (intonation). your playing like only you, not like Heifetz or Menuhin so on... I think in finale little be faster than tempo primo (begining). Spiccato.! So than your playing you much beautefull.

  • Perhaps she should imrpove her intonation in general at first... this is awful!

    it's perhaps a little fast???

  • Oh nice! [applouds]

  • why can't you people ever say anything nice? you know you couldn't do that in a thousand years, so just applaud her.

  • my god...what i would give to be able to do that...

  • wow!!! that was awesome!!! :D

  • That viloin has really bad high-fret sound.
