Sifei Wen, violoncello, Tchaikovsky, Rococo Variations,Part1

[NovaScotiaChick]

I know this piece by Ha-nah Chang, which I adore, but this is quite good too! Very similar in sound.

[LOLdreamingLEENA]

How old are the people in the orchestra??

[CelloNerd314]

Wow, you play so beautifully. Thanks for posting all your videos. It's great to see such a talented, musical, young cellist.

Out of curiosity, how long have you played, Sifei?

[billio12345]

Around what level would this piece be?

[nkip9230]

its extremely difficult. the last variation is fierce. I think only certain variations are in New York States NYSSMA manual, and if so it is deifnately level 6 ( hardest level)

[unkown00234]

at us u got numbers for the levels? cool, wich level will be dvorak concerto?

[nyyhks]

She plays in a very healthy and beautiful sound, i like that.

[Enix5548]

definitely a 6 I'm guessing. Heck it's one of the hardest cello concerto.

[runofthehouse]

Great playing - which orchestra is this?

[PinkyPrincess20]

USC symphony

[tedgoh]

BEAUTIFUL!

[dopestr33t]

Wow. These kids are good! :O And Sifei Wen has a beautiful sounding cello. I love her tempo and grace.

[cellomaestro101]

This is one of my favorite songs. I wonder why Tchaikovski didn't write more cello stuff?

[CelloNerd314]

Tchaikovsky was planning to write a cello concerto, but died before he was able to do so. It's really a shame! Imagine: more Tchaik for cello...it would be wonderful

[Anaxaramon]

i wonder how old were you when you began cello And What is your practice Style or how many hours :) Ty

[variousweetie]

The conductor looks really stupid! She makes too much noise in turning pages; does she need that much movements?

[sweptmouse]

Wonderful! I don't play cello, i play violin but anyone can tell its beautiful

[Yibar]

Bravo!!

What virtuosity and nice tempi.

Do you mind sharing the maker's name of the cello you played this concerto on? It has such a warm, full, and brilliant sound!

[dwil5429]

i am working on this peice and you are doing a wonderful job. i can really get a sense of the variations when you play. when i play they sound really muddy.

[dwil5429]

amazing

[bentonpreciado]
