[CAGALI18]

[WindowsLooks]

@CAGALI18 Velesslavitsa written by Alex Prior

[theviol93]

@WindowsLooks it's actually sarasate's zigeunerweisen(gypsy airs)

[patel136]

these prodigies may be amazing to us, but they're always miserable; they're 'adults' before their time who totally miss out on a normal childhood.

[ddviolinist]

@patel136 That is just not true. I am a teacher and performer professionally for 30 years, high level...I have found that "normal" kids are far more difficult, lazy, unmotivated, depressive, etc...that kids that are truly "gifted."

Gifted children have more motivation to actually ASK for the instrument at a very young age, sometimes as early as 2 years old. I just taught a 9 year old in a conductorless chamber ensemble that practices 2 hours a day, since age 3, because she WANTS to do it.

woza

Hey Michael, I am possibly buying your previous instrument. I play the violin but am no where near your talent... and I'm twice your age. oh well. If you do somehow miraculously read this comment, Let me know what violin you had b4 u played on Oprah and then I confirm if it was yours. prob will never happen but its worth a shot.

[punkstoper]

he can play all instruments I think and I watched a doucentory on him (I can't spell) he is really remarkable

[Vlessgorian]

What I like about this guy is that he is not like the typical so-called "child prodigy", that you see playing a Paganini caprice at crotchet 200... ridiculous. Michael's technique may not be perfect (he does have some false notes in between) but he definitely plays with expression and musicality, which is, to me, where the real prodigy is. Maybe in some years more he will become one of the greatest violinists of our time.

[CAGALI18]

@Vlessgorian ...what is the title of the piece?

[weenerwallet]

Shirley Temple is a pirate now

[ullalwaysbemythunder]

What piece is Michael Playing? :)

[ullalwaysbemythunder]

Go, Michael!

[doubleblackhelm]

Ida said he did not play it right, but I think his version is enjoyable to listen. Actually, I prefer to listen this than Heifetz's version.

[jasonform]

Instead of making stupid faces and moving around he should care about is bad intonation

[benedetti]

Pablo de Sarasate - Zigeunerweisen OP.20 (part of it)

[brettyboy20]

I work with this child's grandmother Helen Province at a nursing home called Luther Manor in Dubuque, Iowa. He visits about once a year and plays for the residents. He's amazing. An absolutey wonderful spirit!

[MamaEnggek]

Full scene pleaz.... what number is he playing ? This is the same as in Oprah Show . Where can I watch it

[myofficetv]

Very expressive playing & personality! Hope to watch him on stage one day.

[feurmann]

Haha This kid and I were in  a quartet together this summer.

[fjdownes]

Maybe Alexander Prior was conducting but the violinist is most definitely Michael Provence, who is 13 or 14 and absolutely great. You can see more of Michael on YouTube on a segment 4 Questions for Michael Provence from Lynn University.

[elmyr4art]

Thank you so much tor name of violinist. He is real tender and already made deep influence on my soul. So touching phrase indeed.

[elmyr4art]

Name correction. Violinist name is Michael Province
