To all who have argued over this video-I happen to know this girl and she is very sweet and always studying her music. She has just turned 18 and is the like-Super Prodigy. So you all can go along to your normal school leading an average life while she leaves for Germany tommorow.
typical asian kid. just look at all the related videos with asian kids in it. its nothing special really. whilst normal kids learn to play sports, get gf/bf and get a life. these kids practise this crap 24/7,
@mjsinno oh shut the fuck up you joker. I know so many chinese friends who play either violin or piano and they all started from a young age.. face it its the truth. its nurture over nature. get it through your thick head?
@redblazerpea ok, what up dude? that is VERY INSULTING. alright? i'm asianand play the piano. I ALSO PLAY SOCCER AND I DON'T PLAY 24/7. allright, she goes to my school and is very sweet. oh wait i'm sorry, is me being asian boring you? ok well let me go practice piano and get a life, because that's obviously what asians need to do. way to be racist. are asian kids not NORMAL? FUCK OFF DUDE.
@funsize289 yeah ur being boring. what would your parents say if you wanted to play bass guitar or the didgeridoo? im asian my self so how can i be racist haha u twat. im just saying there is a stereotype of asians and she fits it. as do a lot of my mates. chill the fuck out u dope.
@redblazerpe it's called HARD WORK. If you want to be a famous sports player, your gonna practice. For her, wants to be a famous violinist. don't call this crap >:(
@Yay456Woo im not gonna deny that. it is hard work. hard work does pay off. but for young children it just seems wrong. kids should be kids. and why is it mostly asians who start from the age of 4 weeks old? surely they didnt make the decision.
I don't get why people are always posting videos of young, accomplished violinists - with their age attached. As if a 10 year old playing Tchaikovsky's violin concerto is more amazing than Jascha Heifetz playing it. Age is irrelevant, we should be grading by passion. Instead of being the "Violinist - 11 years old," why can't she just be "Violinist" - - ?
@LlamaLlord21 I see your point, but something about a prodigy, just makes it seem so much more exciting to watch, i'm not saying that if someone older was playing it, it wouldn't be good (lol sorry i fail at using commas xD)
yo where can i get a violin that sounds this good.. i notice all ameteur violinists on youtube, their violins don't have as good a tone as the one in this vid.. can anyone help me out??
@Ironsixx This girl probably has a much more expensive violin. There are different grades of violin depending on your level. So obviously an ammeter would have a different sound than a violin like this. if you want a violin like this prepare to pay. Also the violin cant make up for poor skill for some it might just be their technique thats lacking now the violin.
I'm in San Antonio and have been following Nancy since she was 9. She had her debut two weeks ago with the San Antonio Symphony and it was GLORIOUS. This young woman is the future of virtuouso and it is breath taking. Only 17 and what you are hearing now is trash compared to the beauty she creates now.....It will be one of the great pleasure of my life to have witnessed her true first debut. Once in a lifetime!!!!!!!
anybody who is debating musicality is losing sight of the fact that this young lady is 11 and has developed fantastic technique. an amazing accomplishment alone. it just goes to show- there is always some out there better. no matter what level you are. so just enjoy the capabilities of the instrument- and this talented young musician.
I'm 19 and never get a true education in violin. I just play it myself and I guess that I really need a real training and classes to be like her... Anyway even if no sound, we can still guess how's the violin would sound by looking at her face expression
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No. There doesn't have music, it just has sound. I've watched and listened to some younger talents, they play true music, and if you listen to them, you will know what music means and realize the difference between that girl and true talents.
She can play the right tone, but I wonder where's music?
@patvln, I think things that you are talking about are hard to determine. I personally hear a lot of music and passion in her playing. I think you are just assuming things based on stereotypes.
i actually got the privelage of being in the same orchestra as nancy. i was even her stand partner once!! she attended my skool after coming bac from the world contest and she agreed to a concert playing this piece. she was the soloist and the first practice when she went into the variation with the plucking we all stopped and stared at her and all the first violins forgot to come in at their parts!! im not sure if shes homeschooled now or wat but it was really cool to meet her!!!
hi! were playing the same piece for violin... im 12 years old so im quite older than you... and also i play piano.. try searching voice of the heart for piano and little fairy waltz for piano.. i play those and my specialty petit chien.. i love to play that piece. sorry i cant post my own videos here
Wonderful! Not just technically perfect, but also heartfelt. I think this is the most mature performance I have seen of this piece by such a young musician. Keep it up girl, you've got it :)
We live in SA, and my violin teacher is trying to convince me to take lessons with Nancy Zhou's father. I think I'm going to have to seriously think about it!!...
Ahaha funny, she's amazing, I give her kudos!! I'm 15 & play the liszt piano transcriptions and they are insanely difficult so I can't imagine the violin original pieces difficulty level!
are your comments (below) suggesting that maybe i'd sound better if i were asian? i'm black, and i take pvt lessons but i still think i suck. ggrr and i started when i was 8.
Good playing, just too bad the video quality isn't so good, but good player. There really needs to be more good Chinese violinist and I think she will become a even violinist as she gets older. I'm impressed.
Wow! my friend went to middle school with her and said she was amazing, and now I see why. She told me that everyone would compete for second chair because no one had a chance of beating her to first.
Excellent technique, especially for her age. This is about four years old; Ms. Zhou is 15 now. She recently won first prize at the Future Stars Competition (which is based in San Antonio).
Nancy's father is Long Zhou, who studied with Fredell Lack (I could write several pages about her incredible life if I had a mind to). In addition to being a violinist with the San Antonio Symphony, he teaches privately, with a specialty in the Suzuki Method.
omgomgomgomgomg.........i will never accomplish how great she is.......even tho i could EVENTUALLY play this....hehe....amazin anyways!!!!!!!!!GREAT JOB
i know her!! Shes in San Antonio, her dad is my violin teacher (btw this is actually SpartanPhoenix12 (my username) im just on her computer looking at how to be nerd).
you can play five instruments but i hardly doubt that you are a pro or expert at it because an instrument such as the violin requires your lifetime to learn everything
tnx so much it feels great to have someone actually believe you. by the way how old are you? I am hoping to start harp soon. thats pretty amazing that you play six. keep workin!!
Still, many of us haven't heard of this single violinist..or even know the names of musicians of our time except those of classic composers like Bach, Pagagini,etc. maybe b/c "many" of us aren't musically-inclined to classical music.
lol no it's actually called a work ethic, any race is capable of doing this - the only natural factor one could cite is perhaps the build of one's body. Yet, even that can be easily adjusted to and overcome. She didn't wake up one day and decide to play this caprice; she worked her ### off for many years to get there. and she did a fine job :D
do you REALLY think that I am gonna believe that YOU play 5 instruments? who else believes this person? i don't think thats true. i think ur making this whole thing up. so stop plz
ok fine dont believe me but i play french horn, piano, drums, violin, and piccolo. i wouldnt make this up bcus i love music its my life. besides if i was making it up, dont you think i would have chosen different instruments to lie about? NO im not lieing its just that music is my passion, and i pursue it. if you fail to believe me its not my problem its yours.
I think this piece is a little too hard for you. In the beginning it was good all that notes were correct, good dynamics but as it was going and going it was ........too rough.
Her right hand is bad, and her sound is really rough. She shouldn't try to play something that is much too hard for her. And what's with the fast forwarding in some places?
"much too hard for her?" come on, she plays it beautifully. Think about it- Eleven years old and she plays it almost perfectly in tune. Her tone is fantastic, but not perfect. I'd like to see most other violinists play it this clearly.
she plays amazing! its not too hard for her! she was the only american to go to poland for a world wide wide competition with people twice her age. theres just glitches in the video. but anyways, let's see you play this piece perfectly.
nancy went to my school last year, and nobody but orch dorks ever acknowledged her... we always told everyone else how amazing she is and they just noded their heads! someone this talented needs more credit from everyone!!
She is really amazing, but she looks older to me that 11 years old. If you know her and you say she is in your orchestra, maybe it is true. You never know.
this child is amazing. She is doing a great job. Adults- dont knock children for what they do. I guess your parents did that to you and thats why you have such low self image now! an adult that insults a child is pathetic. You sound beautiful- there a lot of scholarships and opportunities for talented kids like you!
She is so amazing. In fact, she plays in my orchestra and goes to my school. I'm not kidding. Lucky me!
Wow. First of all, that is the most racist comment I've ever seen. So what if she's Chinese? A black man can be as good as her if he tried. Stop having your stupid biases with different races.
I believe the "lack of emotion" crit is often a back door racial dismissal. These same mousepad critics will then go on to write about the greatness of Heifetz. Oh ya, there was a violinist oozing with emotional playing. It's a total BS comment from people who probably lack both technical or emotional appreciation.

I think this piece is a little too hard for you. In the beginning it was good all that notes were correct, good dynamics but as it was going and going it was ........too rough.

That was great! The intonation was basically all there, and it looked like she liked what she was doing, and felt feelings for the music.

i agree with Cata5462. Her techniques are good but the tone is not nice. It should be smooth and light

I think Paganini wrote this piece just to torture violinists. It's hard to imagine a more challenging piece.

Isn't the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto considered the hardest technical piece there is?

Her right hand is bad, and her sound is really rough. She shouldn't try to play something that is much too hard for her. And what's with the fast forwarding in some places?
Cata5462 4 years ago
"much too hard for her?" come on, she plays it beautifully. Think about it- Eleven years old and she plays it almost perfectly in tune. Her tone is fantastic, but not perfect. I'd like to see most other violinists play it this clearly.

she plays amazing! its not too hard for her! she was the only american to go to poland for a world wide wide competition with people twice her age. theres just glitches in the video. but anyways, let's see you play this piece perfectly.

No shoulder rest? That alone is a feat to me - I can't survive without using at least an extremely thick, soft and fluffy towel!
Why's the bit around 1:13 at like 2x faster?
A comment on the actual music (finally): the 2nd, 4th and 5th variations should be faster, as should the left hand pizzicato be.

She is really amazing, but she looks older to me that 11 years old. If you know her and you say she is in your orchestra, maybe it is true. You never know.

this child is amazing. She is doing a great job. Adults- dont knock children for what they do. I guess your parents did that to you and thats why you have such low self image now! an adult that insults a child is pathetic. You sound beautiful- there a lot of scholarships and opportunities for talented kids like you!

She is so amazing. In fact, she plays in my orchestra and goes to my school. I'm not kidding. Lucky me!
Wow. First of all, that is the most racist comment I've ever seen. So what if she's Chinese? A black man can be as good as her if he tried. Stop having your stupid biases with different races.

I believe the "lack of emotion" crit is often a back door racial dismissal. These same mousepad critics will then go on to write about the greatness of Heifetz. Oh ya, there was a violinist oozing with emotional playing. It's a total BS comment from people who probably lack both technical or emotional appreciation.
