[katiemay1856]

Awsome it is so beautiful.

[ShadowFlash98]

So young, yet a genius at both violin and piano, gorgeous and the best bit: You seem to really be enjoying yourself. You're really musical..

[robertmazzo]

smooth playing. I worked on this etude as a teenager and could NEVER think of playing it at that tempo ! Wow !

[Wennie014]

what's her age??? but she plays very well!!!

[Wesleyj4700]

@silver5532 When your hands have to stretch like that to play in octaves they tend to flatten. But it is true that you are supposed to play with curved fingers!

[silver5532]

This is amazing! I just wanted to note that aren't you supposed to play with curved fingers and not flat? My piano teacher told me people do both ways but its more proper to play piano with curved fingers and not flat. But you are still VERY gifted!!!

[M000tube]

WAT THE HECK?!?!?!

[VictorianLilly]

[chobeethaninov]

@MabelZMusicChannel I think she was 12 here.

[SnowWhiteLand]

WOW, you play violin and piano so well!! Just don't have words! What impression!

There are small mistakes but this is still very good!

[cheesemaon1]

yo wat the....

[hypacam12]

The applause was so disproportional to the magnitude of the performance. You should play for a better crowd, I know I'd give that a standing ovation.

[tina11495]

Steinway & Sons:)

[Hitherto90]

I love this friggin Etude. Beautifully done.

[plvsbpb]

This is very good! Nice job! It's a good piece for your technique.

[TERb8]

your playing is brilliant!!!

impressive dynamics.

thank you, and greets from Japan, eLi: ::---))))

[theragtimefan]

That was amazing! I hope I can learn it as good as you eventually!

[atlantargh]

As another poster commented, you already have the technique; what is all the more impressive is your musicianship and good taste with this Etude. That is not so common. Looking forward to more Etudes! Best of luck in your studies.

[indibindi97]

Cool

YouTube 'lucy singing a thousand miles'

She is brilliant!

[edtskyline]

Great!! Well done Valerie =D!!!

[j3tyen]

jaw dropped

[cometomyreality]

Shame on me. I feel stupid for not putting more practice hours before stepping into college. It's so difficult to balance practicing now D:

[RobertDowneyImprov]

and she did it all in a dress.

[TomBarrister]

Don't worry about getting lost once in a while. All the greats have done that. I remember seeing Vladimir Horowitz so mess up the first 10 seconds of Moszkowski's Étincelles, that he stopped point blank and said: "Let's do that again."

Many your age have wonderful technique. Your advantage is a natural gift of interpretation, something that's hard to teach and harder to learn.

[Lixeich]

Прекрасно.

[TomBarrister]

@Lixeich Perfectly, indeed.

[mAj8695]

how could she be so talented?? she's really good at piano and violin!! its not fairr :(

[peaceloveswimming8]

This is great! Im working on it right now!

[TheSingingViolinist]

She is absolutely amazing at piano!!!!! Her sound, tone... Everything sounds so fluid, sparkly and smooth! You go girl!!!

[amydyang]

how many hours day does she practice? amazing!

[rUshhelI]

Wow... Nice... Way to go... Talent people.

[jacky25511]

how old is she?

[ALBYPAOLO]

Sei meravigliosa piccola!!!!

[piano6861]

That was sparkling!

[lisalisa0926]

Absolutely flawless!!!

[2308Amari]

impressive: her fingers seem to be flying!

[jacky25511]

@2308Amari if you get to know the piece it's not that hard, considering both her and myself are at ARCT (according to the Canadian Conservatory), and Valerie...

CURVE YOUR FINGERS

[UponTheShores]

@jacky25511 curved fingers agreed

[TomBarrister]

@UponTheShores By that logic, Vladimir Horowitz shouldn't have been the force that he was; his fingers were almost always flat. They still managed to find the right way to hit the keys. It's a matter of what works for the musician.

[Fantasiex3]

Beautiful interpretation! I'm currently working on this etude myself.

[juliaCSL]

beautiful valerie! (:
