Cuellar: Toccata

[calasazules]

Fantástic CONCERT!!!!

[Emanuela476]

Sei veramente straordinaria !!!!! Ciaoooooo!!!!!

[blueyoyi]

took a second look and a second listen.....my this is a nice piece

and dramatically played......

(this piece will suite Enzo well!! hehhe)

[vivian2nana]

@blueyoyi So glad to read your comments! Yes, this will be a great piece for Enzo!

[kiaweking]

Bravo! That smile at the end is priceless.

[BeaBenHoang]

wow, Vivian, you're so talented. We enjoy your performance very much.

[baltik007kitty]

famtastic! brava! :-)

[BocaFriend]

Dear Vivian, I am so glad your mom had occasion to share

this with me as I had never seen it and, wow, it is surely

not to be missed! This is precisely the kind of music that,

to my ear, *must* be played in a certain way to avoid the

pitfalls of devolving into cacophony and dissonance. As

it is, your brilliant interpretation presented Dr Cuellar's

ambitious piece in its finest, most appealing light. Cool,

modern, and stylish. I'm so glad to see your early giftedness

and now know Dr C's work! :)

[millenniumfalsehood]

Very good job! This is easily my favorite Martin Cuellar piece, and you executed it with grace and precision.

[MrPikachu888]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[werewolfboy97]

That sounds really nice =D I played the same song for a piano convention in Los Angeles and sometimes in the song it feels like you can add power to the lower parts.

[cuoylyf]

Brava e bella come il Sole!!! Fantastica!!!! isis

[tootlootler]

Great. Thank you. Finding this clip quite made my day!

[katsuomusic2]

You go girl, Vivian:) I liked it. You are a powful player. I think at least 3 people and a half can sleep in the piano, looks so big :)

[ExcelLied]

O, I hadn't hear this. Vivian looks so happy playing.

[yaohuang69]

Excellent playing !!

[shotalover1231]

Absolutely breathtaking. This is my favorite piece so far. This channel never ceases to amaze me. The dramatic ending and then the cutest smile afterwords... Truly talented...

[PhilippineJeann]

That was awesome...Girl...Bravo*****

Jeann

[AuntSpode8899]

The dramatic opening was unleashed with total control and confidence. It is a tour de force of music making. Like the Chinese say, you have the "aura of a great general." Awesome!! I think you should register your trademark "before and after" devastating smile with the Patents Office. People evidently are enchanted with that smile of yours!!!

[VoceVersatile]

Prodigious talent.

[urbania70]

Excellent tecnicque, dynamics and interpretation.. and thanx for introducing the audience to this beautiful avant-garde composition.

[VideosAlcides]

Brilhante, Vivian!!!

Meus parabéns!!!

E que som magnífico o do Steinway, não é mesmo?

Quando você tocar num Bosendorfer, quero saber qual deles é o seu preferido...

Brava, menina!!!

[janejoa]

Great!

As always!

Your friend,

Jane

[Bramborail]

Amazing

[blueyoyi]

revisit - - my.. sounds much better ... even the playing !!!! I must be getting old? hehheee

Really NICE piece and very well played.

[SUPPERMAO]

Thanks!!! ^^

[TimDaMan1]

WOW

GREAT performance

I like this piece a lot!

[dexiuxian]

I was referring to the middle section where your right hand is usually on the white keys and it repeats the melody over and over again. Great performance though!

[dexiuxian]

Nice job! I only suggest your fingers not "jump" from black keys to white. Your fingers must be in the middle of the keys!! I can see your fingers slide from black to white keys! Small thing of course. Other than that, Great job Vivien!

[Sophie13punk]

OMG!

[Ellinidara]

wow:-) splendid:)

[jjparents]

Bravo!

[nikosz66]

Vivian s musical maturity is really impressive !

[IMDPNSt]

Vivian,

What a great performance of my piece- sensitive and musical. I have not forgotten about sending you some of my other pieces; I would love to hear you play them, as well. Keep sharing your music with others.

Martin Cuellar

[pianogirl98]

Maravillosa ejecucion, felicidades nena.

[MrBlakeums]

how difficult on scale of 1 to 10

[pianogirl98]

Hi MrBlakeums, thanks for watching! This piece was in the required repertoire of National Federation of Music Clubs, in the Moderately Difficult Class 3 . It's not that difficult just to play it, but it's a challenge to play it well.

[SailorVVV]

Hi nice playing. I want this piece. Can you tell me how to pedal it?

[pianistboy2000]

Awesome! Every move you make fills with great musician cell.

[JulieAsztalosMusic]

This is superb. Everything you touch turns to gold Vivian, God bless you.

[unotipodeeuropa]

Eres maravillosa Vivian, me gusto mucho

es un placer mirar y escucharte tocar el piano gracias y nunca dejes de tocar

[voisong]

This is a very energetic piece, therefore grabbed my attention right away. Of course, it had to be well played to do that, in which you did an extraordinary job. Great work!

[MsMusje]

Okeeyy!! :-)

great!

[MsMusje]

[vivian2nana]

Vivian was 10 when this video was recorded. She is now 11.

[PASTREEE878]

Does anyone know where I can get the score from? =)

[pianogirl98]

Hi pianist7137, thanks for watching!

You shall be able to order the sheet music online or from your music store for about $3. You may not be able to find free sheet music of this piece.

[pianist7137]

Whoa.. That's great playing!! I love this piece!

[AndromedaAiken]

I've heard this piece before but I can't remember where. Very good job Vivian! :D I love playing on Steinways! I've only ever played on one once and it was quite a simple piece but I can never forget how beautiful the sound was!

[zrshwe]

I have never heard this before. Wonderfully played as ever. Thanks.

[brodiger]

[josephstef]

Terrific and solid performance. Bravo to you!!!! Tell us more about the composer. He is great. And you make hm sound great!

[ProdiG6]

Hi Vivian you are very talent, your playing are very artistic & muscial, BRAVO!!!, hope that we can meet in the future, if you do come to Canada, please do let me know, all the BEST!!!

[royescobar1977]

I have a soft emulator of the Steinway Grand piano, but I can to make it sound like you, my midi control is a M-audio Oxygen 61, I need a piano's teacher... but you're amazing. 5*

[LynnetLennMnemeni]

Great job with the phrasing, dynamics, and such. However, if I were you, I would pay close attention to the mood of the piece. When you do the rolling arpeggio-like part (ie, 0:19), make it a little more dramatic, with a slight crescendo, then bring it down to the previous light staccato. The last, flowing part, in my opinion should be more romantic. In short, listen to your emotion when playing this piece. The technicalities are flawless though. You go girl!

[LynnetLennMnemeni]

By the way, listen to what your teacher (if you are being taught) is saying before this. I'm just a fellow student trying to help XD. You should keep in mind, I heard this played by someone else, and I don't know what the standard way of playing this piece is. I am so favoriting this now!

[pianogirl98]

Hi Levi, thanks for your comments!

Do you also play this piece? If you are interested, we can share with you the comments from the composer himself.

[LynnetLennMnemeni]

No, I am not XD. I'm currently working on Debussy's Reverie and a few other pieces. However, please send the comments. I might play this one later.

[cjo53]

Great Job!!!!!! :D *high fives* I just learned how to play that piece and I think you're younger than I am.

[pianogirl98]

Hi cjo, thanks for watching! I am so glad that you are also learning this piece! It's a very interesting piece, isn't it? Do you like it?

[NPoetic]

awesome!!!! WOW

[friedhelmrss]

That s Super*****

I often listen your playing and share your playing with my daughter.

May i invite you to be my friend?

[bach9079]

Great job!!!!!

[PianistaItaliano]

You have a Great Talent! * * * * *

[llanbradach]

I have never heard anything like this from a 10 year old before, you are a magnificent pianist, you deserve a good life from music and I hope you get one.

[dgcmusi]

That is the 9ft 1 monster. You play it so well.

You are such a great player at such a young age.

What an incredible musical journey you have in front of you.

Dave.

[zyproductions618]

and again... NICE JOB!

[zyproductions618]

i juss started this piece nice job! u r amazing compared to me haha well i just started it like 2 weeks ago but i dnt really practice it much haha UR AMAZING

[pianogirl98]

Hi zyproductions618, thanks for watching me play! I am so glad that you are also learning to play this piece. Isn't it a wonderful piece of music?

[zyproductions618]

It is a pretty interesting piece and it is great. I need to practice it more in a few places but I'm sure that my Suzuki teacher with help me with those spots. My teacher is very picky about things so hopefully I will get better at playing this song.

[pyrioni]

Wonderful! Bravo~~~

[FeBlandMusic]

Had to come back and listen to this again today! Did you know I put it in my 'favourites'? The composer could not in his wildest dreams have imagined that anyone under 21 would ever touch this piece! It has touches of the Barber Sonata in it - now there's a masterpiece!

[luv2act1408]

great job Vivian!!! you are such an insparaton, you are a truely amazing pianist!

[girlypink08]

so 5 stars!

[1992peter]

WOW!

This is absolutely amazing!

[maidenkid84]

man i love that death metal intro!

[anzdf]

Maravillosa, una bella interpretacion, me asombra ver niños y niñas con mucho talento.

[mounun007]

I know Martin Cuellar! He lives in my town. I played this song as well and had some lessons with him, too! Keep up the awesome work!

[pianogirl98]

Hi mounun007, thanks for watching! You had lessons with Martin Cuellar? That is so cool!

[friedhelmrss]

wunderbar sehr gut

freddy

[theasder]

The more I listen to this piece, the more I like it (in particular the middle part)

(and I must confess: I never heard of this composer, Martin Cuéllar, before)

Again, congratulations for your performance! :)

[coolbuddy265]

Hi there, Vivian, you're indeed super talented! I believe it's the dream of everyone to able to be like you.

Keep up the good work, Vivian!

Your playing definitely deserves a rating of 5 stars! =D

[pianogirl98]

Hi coolbuddy265, thank you so much for your encouraging comments!

Do you play piano, too?

[coolbuddy265]

Hi there, I actually used to attend piano lessons too when I was during your age, but however due to the lack of time, I have stopped it.

But till now, I still enjoy listening to piano music! It's really pleasant to the ears. =D

[theasder]

Wonderful O_o

[eroPsych]

Wonderful!

Bravo!

:)

[grove37]

I did this piece for state festival. I love this song! I'm from Emporia, Kansas which is where Doctor Cuellar lives and works (he works at Emporia State University). He's a really great person and a phenomenal pianist.

Bravo!

[pianogirl98]

HI grove37, thanks for watching! I am so glad that you also played this piece! Isn't it a wonderful piece?

Wow, you've met Dr. Cuellar? Did he hear you playing his composition?

[BarNuun]

A dramatic video (listened in June). You are making Martin Cuellar known beyond YouTube ... this is now featured on a playlist over at Piano Fever. Bravo!

[lisalisa0926]

Very nice, as always! We hope to see your family some day and watch Vivian play the piano.

[Linhdanvo]

You are always excellent, Vivian!

[judyesther]

Excellent Vivian!

[pyrioni]

Great playing!!

[vencent008]

That is real Fabulous!!! I give you Five Stars!

[jannokas85]

When are we going to hear you play the Ravel's Toccata? You certainly have enough strength and agility to carry that piece out!

[pianogirl98]

Hi Jan(jannokas85), thanks for watching! I hope I can learn Ravel's Toccata one day!

[blueyoyi]

Nice opening smile ... dramatic beginning .. overall very well played!!

[basement72]

Great playing and this piece is cool, I've never heard of this composer up until now.

[daddypoohroll]

Thanks for sharing!!

Well, actually you played very well. I liked it very much. How long you learn piano.. So excellent!

[pianogirl98]

Hi daddypoohroll, thanks for watching! I have been taking piano lessons for 4 years.

[AndromedaAiken]

Excellent job Vivian! That was excellent!=D Keep on playing! =)

[cheeeshirecat]

Wow, awesome! Bravo! This is really great, congratulations, Vivian!!

[FeBlandMusic]

Very interesting Composition. You are well on top of the notes and the rhythmic interpretation! This is a dynamic and intellectually assured performance. Well played!

[wizhack]

EXCELLENT!!

[Esceha57]

For about 35 years I bought a volin myself, hanging all those years on the wall. I can't play any note, so you can understand my deep respect you play - in my eyes and ears - this difficult composition in this grandpiano.

If you don't beleive me, you can see the violin in the beginning of:

[rizkilatifah]

You are dancing with your piano. 6 stars 4 U Vivian.

[binkie82971]

OMG, Vivian is a musical genius! Her music is full of feelings. I don't even know any adult can play music like her. Thank you for sharing . She is definitely in my favorite. 10 STARS!!!!!

Hi pianistbk, thanks for your comments! I usually practice piano a little over one hour each day.

Beautiful playing and beautiful piano too.

[Lp78Ch]

Very nice work!  Good dynamic contrast.

By the way, Martin Cuellar is Mexican-American. He was born in Mexico.

[pianogirl98]

Hi Lp78Ch, thanks for your comments! Martin Cuellar is Mexican-American? I thought this piece sounded Brazilian.

Not only are you an outstanding player, your expression is astonishing. At such a young age!

[thomandy]

Im just getting so impressed everytime I listen to this! Im am so caught by the beginning! And the nerve is pulling me trough the whole piece! Its so well played!! :)

[pianogirl98]

Hi Thomas(thomandy), I am so glad to read your comments! Thank you! I guess it's the composer's intension when he composed this piece to make you feel that way. For example in the middle section, it's Contando, con passione and the ending should be played con fuoco(With Fire)!

Vivian
