... sounds like a merry march through a perfect world, not the mourn of a blind man not knowing if that'll be his last breath, crying the decadence his country and the world had fell in. You play good but this arrangement kills the moon reflected in the er quan pond.
playing this masterpiece with violin / piano is a horrendous mismatch. The melancholic expression is completely ruined. sorry to say but it's true! Only erhu can deliver the mood and nuance so deeply ingrained in 二泉映月!!!
They're playing it a little more cherry than original, but hey, they're both young and full of life. Mood of a song really goes according to your age so they have every right to improv this song to be a little more cherry. Plus, if they play it the same as erhu, it defeats the purpose of trying it on the violin and piano. Reinvent music.
you did a wonderful job. YOu seems very young but you played with a good understanding of the music and already able to "sing" with the instrument rather than just hitting the notes (typing). Bravo !!! keep up the good work, look forward to more of your performance.
Too "flashy" and "smart alerky" - agree with the comment that it has no soul. If I may add; totally missed the intent of the composer. He has loads of talent; but must change his music teacher !!!
it is the most beautiful song i've ever heard, but here the poor boy plays it ten times faster than it should be played, and it loses all its soul. also, piano can never substitute properly traditional chinese instruments, just like the vilin cannot substitute the erhu. very talented biy however
This composition is a chinese folk music player's stuff who's named "blind A BING"...about him it's quite a long story .Origin music is played by "er'hu",not violin.
He uses quite a lot of bow and plays fairly close to the bridge at the forte spots; it's not clear to me that he can get much more dynamics from his violin. Besides, the piece is rather reflective and sorrowful, so I think his dynamics is quite appropriate. As for quality, well, I'm sure it will come with age. :)
all u can say is wow...? are you insane, this level of ability in a child this young is GOD LIKE!!!! this child is probably one in a 999999 million!!!!
It is already very impressive. Another great reminder is tha he is so young, means he can only get better.

It's great how we can "transform" music, aka reproducing music however, some songs are just meant to be played by the original instrument.
Good try although I have to agree that this song played on the violin is not touching at all. lost sorry to say but it's lost its value.
