Martha Argerich started her career with this piece. Schumann is an extremely mature composer who is just beginning to become better understood. Don't let the purists know that because as soon as they do they'll mortify him like the did to Beethoven.
@ericsteph lol yeah thrs like an accompianist (idk how to spell tht ahah) playing with her lol aka..the arm that pops up to move the sheet music on the left evry once n a while haha
I only have a fragment of this concerto up on my youtube. I had never learned anything this hard before when I did. I only had two months to learn what I could of it for a competition while at college. Very difficult and beautiful work!
The thing that sets you apart from the countless other child "prodigies" that parents love to boast about is the fact that unlike the other kids who have very insistent parents, you seem to have total control over your own life. Cheers for early freedom!
Don't stop at classical, as you grow older, go through all genres of music and play them beautifully on the piano~ You're great. :)
This is beautiful, as always. It's been wonderful to watch your technique, tone and phrasing develop, and you remain one of the most-viewed pianists by my own piano students. We look forward to seeing more from you.
Isn't collaborative work exhilarating? I love playing with others, even if they're only accompanying - or even if I'm only accompanying. You have a talent for solo performance that I never had, but I would love to hear you do something in chamber music, too.
you can play very well! if you already are now so good how good will you then be when you grow up? the competition is very hard (i know that from my own experience) but i think you could still be a great artist! ;)
you play very very good. I would so good as you. But listening at your playing is good. I'm a fan of you. Looked at al your performances on YouTube. It is amazing.
The most "childs" are playing with a child sound. You don't have the child sount. You are briljant. I look forward to see more pieces of you.
wow. you sing great! i wish to sing like you . i have done a musical school since my fist grade,and now i reach at the las,coz next year i will go to highschool! maybe if i had a piano at home,i go over to music. but enyway. in my litell town..from romania not all are possible.keep working hard! but in all thinks,don't forget who made you and who gave to you this talent and how He expect to use this! GOD bless you and all the people and hope that people will start to belive more in Him!
I played this concerto in college and was a piano performance major at a US Conservatory of Music. I was about 19 when I played it. You have an amazing gift. What a talent you are. I have been teaching piano for 30 years now. I think you are awesome and I applaud your beautiful relaxed wrists that you also exhibited so beautifully in your Chopin Nocturne performance. Congratulations to you and your teacher!!
You make it look so easy! I love your poise and concentration. I wish my students possessed a fraction of your enthusiasm, your composure, and your musicality. Keep enjoying music :-)
Really, I am impressed by your virtuosity and your qualities. of unterpretation of schumann. Excuse me not to write English it is difficult for me to include/understand how I could receive your share are worth all new video and how could one exchange our musical common passions. Still thank you for your talent. Jacques of paris
Vraiment, je suis impressionné par votre virtuosité et par vos qualités. d'unterprétation de schumann . Excusez-moi de ne pas écrire l'anglais il est difficile pour moi de comprendre comment je pourrais recevoir de votre part vaux toute nouvelle vidéo et comment pourrait-on échanger nos passions communes musicales. Encore merci pour votre talent.
that..was..AMAZING!! omg celia, you get better and better every second.. i love how you play because it's always so clear and with lots of feeling
I simply love you.. =P
I don't remember if I asked you this before, but, can you tell me where can i get the Sacro-monte's sheet music? I've been looking for it but i just can't find it..
again congratulations and keep it up girl, you've got a promising future at least at piano.. =)
Awesome! You look so at ease for a piece with such great ensemble challenges. You should be proud of yourself. While it may not sound like it compared to other concertos, this one is quite tricky and you done great work here.
qivory, thanks for your encouragement. :) The pianist (10 years old) I played with is fantastic, so he helped with ensemble challenges. I will be putting a lot more work without a partner starting in mid July.
This looks most promising. I hope that intense contact with various masters of piano, theory and composition has been established and that you are submerged in a generally inspiring, educative life-style. You have a long life full of wonderful music-making (and much else) ahead of you, so make sure that the foundation becomes rock solid. Best wishes, M. G.
Such pinpoint accuracy, such a prodigious player destined for fame and we get to see it here before it happens - and it surely will. Cece you are AWESOME young lady. And no slouch to whomever was playing the second piano along with you. Held your own and took NO back seat. Incredible and amazing. I DO hope you're enjoying your youth too. I keep watching in total amazement. Love your playing.
It's great to see you playing the Schumann - your cadenza was just lovely! If you'll forgive me the smallest comment - you can take just a bit more time to outline the phrases and enjoy yourself - this is like a story, a narrative -
But you have lots of drive and passion! You and your teacher should be very proud!
Ailecec, you recluse! What a rare treat. It was excellent as usual, and your hair is getting quite long. It sounds like Rachmaninov. Good to see you, girl! Stay creative. Bye.
