[caitlin471]

what key is this version of londonderry air in?

[mrclawhammer2011]

Beautiful.....tear in my eye........

[justajiffy123]

AMAZING!!! It's just that your sound was sometimes a bit rough and accented at your frog, but not on purpose. Other than that, YOU WERE GREAT!!!

[belaking12]

your very good how much did you violin cost?

[tashasmum]

stunning :-)

[FlyingDreamCatcher]

I can play it too :) but not so good ;) ok, i play only since 13 month...^^

[Lemxie]

WOW your amazing.. i wish i could be as good as you ! ;)

[blueeyedtennischic]

Where did you find your music for this piece? I want to play this, but I can't find a version I like. This arrangement is one that I do like. If you could tell me where you found it, that would be awesome! :D

[psachristy]

Always loved the violin, this is a tune that deserves to be played on the violin. Sweet! The playing brings out all the expressions of the song.

[wingklow]

A good vibrato requires strong fingers, extremely strong fingers. To achieve a good vibrato, rock finger on each string, very slowly, nearly 180 degree oscillations, until the fingers are extremely tired. Gradually two fingers down on same string. Do this exercise once a day. The amount of time spend on this exercise will increase as the fingers become stronger. Strong fingers also produce rapid and powerful trills as well as clean sound. Hope I have made a contribution.

[johnb406]

Beautifully played!!! I've been trying to play this but I cannot get it right. Is there a place to find the tabs for this? Looking forward to other posts. Have a great day. John

[LoveEmo12]

this is the only violin piece that has ever made me cry :') it's so beautifully played and there's no other word for it <3 keep playng you wonderful, talented woman :')

[lowellirish]

Very nicely done...However, as an experienced Irish musician on whistle, flute, bodhran-

(I have just taken up fiddle 1 mo ago- playing this) I feel compelled to issue a correction. Danny Boy is NOT an Irish tune. It is ENGLISH, written by Frederick Weatherby, a soliciter and musician, and set to a tune that his sister heard miners singing in America- "the Derry Air" which is Irish in origin. I agree that it sounds rushed and aggressive. I like your use of full bow though! Too much reverb.

[TheLittleStarlight]

Wow I love it! Thank you very much for playing this lovely piece =D By the way, what kind of violin/fiddle are you playing? I play the violin too but not very good yet and am looking for a new, better sounds one. Hope to hear back from you ^_^

[SomeViolentKid]

It's ok, but you sound like ur rushing the notes that are supposed to be held out. Nice job, I give it a 7/10

[theendofreality17]

Too aggressive, it feels like your attacking the fiddle.

[wolfgirl2ful]

pretty!

[violon78]

Really beautifull and great interpretation :)

[andrewandyyo]

Where do you get your violin music sheets? (x

[babbeeygurl2233]

that was beautiful. this is my 6th year playin the violin n i hope someday to sound like that. good job.

[meltogue]

You made a fuck - up on the title . It should say the" Derry Air "

[Jasminee2796]

@meltogue omeffgee i see your comment on almost every one of these videos and no it it londonderry air. i have the sheet music in front of me right now for viola. will you effing quit with it,

[meltogue]

@Jasminee2796 Sorry to upset you jasminee, Its a nice air and well played here, but its an old irish air is my point. just because its on your sheet music as l.Derry does not make it a fact. Irish people just call it Derry Air.

Keep effing with the viola anyway! I play viola , violin and banjo myself.

[spicemohit1]

Simply amazing !

Loved it.

[MrWatermelonguy]

[shaendry1]

I am a violinist too, and i play along with you! (Btw i am 11)

[draw09nowsinglater]

Perfect. Pure Perfection.

[operalament]

very nicely done liana. This was the first song i learned on the violin and Francescotti was the first violinst i heard perform it. your tone is lovely and your bowing very smooth. whats your fiddle. goodluck.

[Th00mm]

Magnifique

[mariamaginty]

ur awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just learned to play this song on the piano and im trieing to get the notes for the violin because im going on 3 years but i sound horrible compared to you!!! :)

[julianjrm]

Amazing! I love this tune, and you played it awesome! Do you have another way to communicate? I mean... facebook, twitter.... Congratulations!

[Hartley129]

That was great! I just started learning this song at my lesson yesterday.I'm going on 2 years and I don't sound nothing like that! I envy you!

[brokenbathr]

This is my favorite Danny Boy violin rendition.

* Watch her bow stroke. No wimpy dwelling on the middle 2cm for her. She works it from frog to tip, with her eyes closed.

* The presentation is sparse, but not stark. Elegant. Black background, Black gown, no jewelry. The focus is on the music and the violin. Not the artist.

* I could care less that the artist's hair is not pulled back or more elaborately coiffed. This is a real person playing a heartfelt Danny Boy for us.

[justajiffy123]

@brokenbathr Actually, it's quite easy to play from frog to tip with your eyes closed, you just need to get used to your violin and bow.

[butterflysworldx3]

wow i love danny boy!

You play it awesome!

[ViolinolistLiana]

Thank you very much! :D

[Piratospunk]
