Awesome......incredibly beautiful.....I love "Rachel's" music videos, and admire her in every way. She must be about 12 now (July 2010), and I'm eager to hear more from her as she progresses. I wish her every success and happiness in her music.
why do people move like they have a jug of water on their head... and when they finish playing they almost smash their heads into the keys... i like enzo becuse he doesnt move in his chair like hes got somewhere to go
omg, i don't care whether they hit their head, bit their tongue or make whatsoever stupid facial expressions. it doesn't matter. on the cd there's just the music, if you can't handle vids just sroll down until the pianist's finished.
Kleppyknox, if you are a human, you tend to move because you are alive! Do you expect youself sit stiffly only your fingers move while you playing piano? Only robot does!
omg i just commented about that!! Your comment made me laugh omg but I move like that when I play and I don't know why I do it! I started to notic i do it like a month ago and im like woooow i look like a crazy person!!
Lol. It's suppose to be something like 'expression', the way you move when you play an instrument that is. I use to sit still when I play the piano last time and my teacher practically forced me to move my body when I participated in a competition. She said the judges give you marks for it (moving your body and looking as if you enjoy the music that is)
yeah i don't move around much. i don't see the point. but it does make you look like you're enjoying the song. whenever i move around i feel like a freak.
A classic period that many musicians based their music on after that thinking it was "The thing you should be able to play". Doesn't make it good mate.
That was my point. It's childish if you listen to it closely. Genius sure but childish.
A classic period? The Classical Period, are you saying? I don't get what you're talking about. Are you saying this music's, childish, plain and kind of dull. I think you should try other wonderful pieces by Mozart and rethink about your statement. I recommend listening to piano concertos No.20, 21, 24 etc and late symphonies. Mozart's music may be pure, but childish isn't the word to describe the complexity of it.
It's proper to get the date right because the music of 1800s differs from that of the Classical period dramatically. Wasn't 1756 when Mozart was born? There were huge advancements in music during this period that we can't just consider the different periods as the same.
Yes. I totally agree. She needs training and refining by a real concert pianist and she would be AWESOME! She has the feel and sensitivity somewhat, but no technique (yet) to bring it out. It's too mechanical because she needs more legato. Nonetheless, she has a real talent. I wish I was this young again!!! Dammit!
I think in her age it is played "well" enough! It is amazing that she can move her hands that way. All the runs and trills are just great! I think the perfection will come when she's a little bit older!
The touch is too heavy for Mozart. Even the opening phrase was not done musically. In addition, her technique is not adequate to play this piece. All the thrills were not done correctly or musically. She needs to be polished by a good piano teacher. She definitely has the talent. I can tell that she did not feel this song, she played mechanically, no imagination at all.
i have to agree there is a technical problems , its obvious that she is playing and might i add quite wonderfully ! it looks like the feed was going to slow for her incredibly fast hands !
Contessa, si vergogni lei. Soprattutto di non capire una mazza di musica. Se è per quello gli asiatici sono meglio di te, e anche io sono meglio di te. Razza di incivile, ignorante... pulisciti la bocca prima di insultare. E pulisciti anche altro.
ok....now i think that she didnt really plays the song cause i know this song really well and i can even dream of the piece so i actually know which note it is...and she didnt really plays it on the right timing...yes i addmit that she is good but she cheatted in here....
Yeah.. it's a delay on the camera, but also on youtube. Of course, if their upload rate is fairly small, it can degrade the quality of the video and the timing between the picture and audio. If you sped up or slowed down the video, I'm sure the two would match.
amiga soi mexicano i quiero decirte que me encanta tu forma de tocar no lo puedo creer es en verdad que jamas habia escuchado algo similar y mas a tu corta edad no quiero saber que sucedera cuando seas grande vas a ser mejor aun que el propio betoven jaja
y llo me emocionaba por tocar corazon de niño jaja me paso
You are such a Cochon. This girl's only a machine as far as she is a playing machine- her technique for a 9 year old is flawless, and her delivery isn't flat. It doesn't have the maturity of someone who has been playing for decades, but most amateurs would wish to be able to be at her current level.
Wow again. All of your videos rock. I can play the piano, but NOT LIKE THAT! You deserve a grammy or something. It is so wonderfull that you can play the piano with so much grace :-)
You do appear to be wrong. Rachel has a number of outstanding pieces available on youtube, but the sound and video are occasionally out of sinc as an uploadingissue. But she is really that good.
Obviously she enjoys playing and she practices a lot. To me, that's more than enough for a young girl! Her video clips are all wonderful; I only hope my daughters will play as well as her when they grow up. Passion and discipline lead to success no matter which career she pursues.
Sounds good! Children who play so well at such a young age are always fun to watch, but I truly believe that the "life experience" gained over several decades of social interaction, historical study, personal struggle, and hard work add that extra bit of musical finesse that Rachel is not quite capabale of just yet. Once she learns a few dirty jokes, endures her first relationship, et cetera, her Mozart will be even better.
Sorry to disagree with you, but some kids can play Mozart better than adults BECAUSE they are pristine and unadulterated. Somehow Mozart's music reflects the innocence of children best.
About the performance--please start the trills from the upper note. It's easier to match with the left hand, and also more historically "correct." (ex) the first trill in the right hand can be played D-C-D-C-D-C-D-E.
I think you play well for your age.As you grow up,you will surely find the beauty beyond the notes.Be a good person,then a good mussician,and finally,a good pianist.
Very nice playing coming from one of her age. I'm already seeing musical maturity.
Like gripo, my main comments would be to watch the trills and the dynamics. Certain sections could be milked a little more (0:34). I agree with him to watch the ending of phrases. This piece should be leggero, but not staccato.
This looks like a promising musician! She has the notes, and most certainly the capacity to embrace the musical aspects later.
A bit too staccato true, but despite Mozarts assertion that passagework should "flow like oil", he himself reportedly played in a slightly clipped style - so this little girl is probably closer to the original interpretation than many established virtuosi. I liked it.
If he did, it's because his pianos were different.
And I wouldn't go so far as to say that Mozart played his music the best. Oftentimes performers are better interpreters than composers. That doesn't discredit her stylistic choice though.
This is very pretty and very clean. You'd be surprised at the number of older pianists who cannot play this piece nearly as well as Rachel. Mozart is hardest.
Very good playing, Rachel! Give the last notes of each phrase their full strength and full length of time when you play them. Don't rush through the end of each phrase. Imagine that you are letting sweet little birds (notes) land on the branches of a tree. Let them stay there and rest for a while, for the full length of each note. Don't shoo! them away so quickly! Let them sing clearly and strongly, so everyone can hear them!
Thanks, you are very kind and very welcome! Rachel plays like a songbird, singing her heart out! It's a pleasure to see and hear her play! Best wishes to you and your family!
Well done indeed that has not come from anything other than hard work and lots of practice, keep it up, but the main thing is you must enjoy your playing and that will then tell in your music, make it yours.Well done.
oh nice parents u buy her a grand piano for practice, my parents wont even tune my piano when it's almost time even it need to be tune now, had to wait exactly the day
Rachel, congratulations to you, and your wonderful piano teacher and guardians who encourage you to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE - you are already a much better pianist than I am!
They say that Mozart is too difficult for virtuosos and too easy for child prodigies; but your daughter plays it very well indeed, and the Prokovief and Beethoven even better (lets hope that she can reach an octave in the next year). Congratulations! What is her age now?
Awesome......incredibly beautiful.....I love "Rachel's" music videos, and admire her in every way. She must be about 12 now (July 2010), and I'm eager to hear more from her as she progresses. I wish her every success and happiness in her music.
