[AnnyBerryy]

I looooooove this concerto!!

[saberarturia715]

I love the way she plays! It's like she's dancing!! I really do envy you,Valerie.... The way you play, how your fingers move(can you teach me how to play faster and louder?? <p),and your expression when you play the piece is.. something that cannot be put into words! I hope you keep on doing your best!

Sincerely~ Zoey

[idaspe]

[HerrWarja]

Bach is perfect! :-D

[janmoeyaert1]

What an amazing talent!

[Lalitamusic]

Beautifully expressive and perfect performance Valerie (as usual). You have a beautiful smile also and I really would like to have a kitten from that dress. It's beautiful too.

Yours in tune

Lalita

[Ritzounett]

She is perfect but the orchestra is a real shit. She deserves much better.

[EmceeLorder]

I never thought people actually reply here, but thanks for the info jungkim! Thumbs up once again.

[wyndhamrod]

Thank you. As always, its an absolute joy to hear you play and that was such a happy and bright performance. Thank you again for sharing it with us.

We hope you are able to enjoy a very Happy Christmas

[juliaCSL]

everytime I watch them performing the hairs on my hands will standXD watching them play.. its just fantastic. will live to see them grow up into famous musicians known around the world!

[FeBlandMusic]

I was previously unfamiliar with this work. Of course no one is going to tell me that JSB ever wrote a "Piano Concerto"! OK - I realise now it is a Keyboard Concerto - just read the bit @ the top duh! To most ppl a keyboard is like a little pluggable in synth which costs a hundred bucks! BWV1052 makes this a late work (hey I've overtaken Bach with my K. numbers now!) Can I just make it clear that I am not remotely in the league of J S Bach. He is #2 of all time with LVB being #1 (of course!)

[jungkim2020]

Of course it would sound much more "authentic" on a harpsichord. Please see cellistae's comment below.

Haha, I do get that a lot about the "keyboard" in the title. I think there were some earlier comments as such. 

So, are you placing yourself firmly as #3? ahead of WAM?

[FeBlandMusic]

I am not remotely in the top 26 !

[wcbroccoli]

It's not authentic at all on a piano.

While Bach acted as a middleman in the sale of a fortepiano and even tried them out on at least 2 occasions, few people owned them and they did not catch on until after his death.

His estate included 8 harpsichords, 3 violins, 3 violas, 1 small bass, 2 cellos, 1 bass viola da gamba, and 1 lute --- but not 1 stinkin fortepiano.

[wcbroccoli]

According to the autograph score and other sources it's a concerto for harpsichord.

The generic term "keyboard concerto" is used by modern instrument ensembles to deceive audiences into thinking Bach intended it for whatever keyboard instrument was handy, including a piano.

Even though the fortepiano was introduced when Bach was a teenager, it did not catch on until after his death. In his day, the keyboard instrument of choice for chamber music was always the harpsichord.

[EmceeLorder]

This girl is like....WHOA! Talk about early virtuosi!

[jungkim2020]

You had asked (in a comment on my channel) Valerie's age in this video.

Sorry, I usually add age in the title or description section, but I didn't for this video. I've added now. She's 10.

I tried to answer in a message to you, but you only accept messages from friends. I've requested.

An aside: She will perform this piece again at Copley Symphony Hall with San Diego Symphony on Jan.31, 2009.

[cellistae]

oh how awesome! If only a harpsicord can be used as well to add that zest and crisp! (: It's still a fantastic piece of work no doubt!

[jungkim2020]

Yes, a harpsicord would have been really cool.

[LostWindFlute]

Wow!! How many years has she been playing? i remember at her age, I hadn't even begun playing the piano....very dedicated!! And she's really good!!

[wumeista4645]

so young and so talented =)

[Esceha57]

Unfortunately I'm to old to experience, but the younger ones will me remember my prophecy this wonderchild - and her sister too - will be given performances on the greatest stages. I'm sure.

[shynium]

she plays the violin too. Valerie plays violin and piano. Her older sister plays flute and piano. Perfect sisters in music sia....

[PianistCor]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

[Halle123clubpeng]

i wont be able to play anything like this for a long long long long long long long long long long long (i could go on but i dont feel like it...) time yuppp im 11 tho :P

[evesanaki]

wow.. this is so cool and beautifull! honestly, im 15 and i cant play this xD

[amazingichmich]

I agree completely but surely a 10 year old does not succeed to such an extent of their own accord and i cant help wondering how much she has been pushed? Timewise she couldnt have much time to be a child and through perfoming like this she is having to act like a mini adult. obviously i hope she is happy in what she is doing because i hope to hear a lot more from her!

[bachprelude]

valerie, this is beautifull, the performance is great.

Bravisimo!

[rizkilatifah]

Perfect!

[italco312]

Brilliant performance, Valerie. You have a lot to be proud of.

[Alice02Rabbit]

This day is my birthday.

A very happy music,thank you.

[pop0313]

Great ..!! absolutely beautiful ..

[koubache]

[jessmford]

Valerie is also striking violin player. Her sister plays flute and piano too and she is also superb. Supersisters..

[blueyoyi]

wow !! what a talent !!

[joayo3]

Is seeing all, and hear in the Korea.

Thank for nice concert!

I proud of you---------from suweoun

[floydrharper]

She is as relentless as Bach himself...

[juliaCSL]

wow she i thought that she's specialize in violin but in piano she's as GOOD!!! so cool how she can play in an orchestra at such a young age

[bienshu]

She is just a genius. Great power and dynamics! It's amazing to see that she plays two instruments so well. she must be innate her gifts from the God. Also, her stage performance manner is unbelievable. I am sure I will be seeing her lot in future.By the way which one is her main instrument? I just love watching both inst. She has a very bright future ahead of her. I would hate to see if she had to give up one of her instruments. GO VALERIE!

[jeannicolle]

Valerie, you are great!!! 5*****

[leetlebach]

Bravo! You play so beautifully! This Bach Concerto is very hard, and your interpretation is the best I've ever heard! Standing Ovation for you! I LOVE IT!!

[Mayka99]

Excellent!!! Great performance. Thanks for music.

[TomBarrister]

Valerie is 10.

This is another fine performance.  If it sounds too loud, it's because of the accoustics, which make it hard to get a good recording without a lot of high-tech equipment.

Mr. Ratelle is a member of the faculty of the Music department at Mesa College in San Diego.

[abbey0flutist]

awesome!! thats so cool how she plays w/ the orchestra. by the way, how old is she? its really really really good!!!!!!:)

[JSSDDS]

BRAVO! Loved the performance.

[musichardware]

Awesome performance as always you do!!!

Bravisimo!!

[orchadorkimsterr]

a lot of koreans have a lot of musical talent :]

저도 한국 사람인대, ㅋㅋ 나는 비올라를 하는대 바이올린도 하고싮어요. :( i also play PIANO and i wanna get BETTER ! valerie's an inspiration to me !

[Niljuniors]

Beautiful! Bach is a genius.

[szeman0105]

amazing!

waiting for your live performance!

[cellistae]

oh yes, another wonderful performance. Nothing to say. You can tell all from the music. Keep up with the good job!

(:

[lucioleita]

My compliments Kim. You're a great artist.

[TweedleDee1]

Absolutely brilliant. This is my favorite piano concerto of all time. I used to toy around with it and dream of having an orchestra back me, but I was never good enough to do it justice. I love that you added your own flair to the piece in spots. Did you do the first movement as well? I'll have to look.

[goodbetterpetra]

That´s not a keyboard. It´s grand piano. Isn´t it? I´m foreign.

[cellistae]

i think it's a keyboard concerto played on a grand.

[flutendancelover]

a "keyboard concerto" means a concerto for a keyboard instrument. that "keyboard" does not mean the electronic keyboards that we often simplify to "keyboards" nowadays. keyboard instruments include piano, harpsichord, and organ

[cellistae]

oh i see i see. So we can choose which one to play the concerto on isit?

[wcbroccoli]

No. The autograph score and other sources say it's a harpsichord concerto.

Only in the minds of piano players and modern instrument ensembles is it a "keyboard concerto" playable on whatever keyboard is handy.

[iluv2write]

good job! great preformance valerie =)

[angloman1]

this girl is amazing, playing Bach with such feeling and control. She will go a long way I'm sure

[sckoo]

Yet another outstanding and beautiful performance! What charming and talented children Dominique and Valerie are :)
