Wow. A very nice performance. She is an excellent violinist. To the "emotion" basher, let us remember that most of Paganini's works were written as a means of demonstrating TECHNIQUE. She does just this! BRAVO!

[XMetalGuitarMasterX]

I don't know why everyone says she has no emotion. Look at her face, just because she isn't smiling all goofy doesn't mean she isn't emotional. I have been playing violin for seven years now...and by no means can call myself an expert, but i do know emotion when i hear it, and she has plenty of it.

[ggalusha1]

this is amazing quality and tone! i wish i could play like dat

[fresktr728]

Its not the best but she sure plays better than me

I giv'er her props...good job

[Rcoppin91]

Typical asian performance.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

What exactly is a typical "Asian" performance? Because I think this little girl has done a very nice job--a job that she can be proud of.

[Rcoppin91]

No emotion. Thats what I mean by that.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

And that is because she is a little girl who is merely learning proper technique--she doesn't yet know what emotion to associate with it--that will come with time. Sarah Chang's first Carmen at 9 is rather stoic; she didn't know a lot about sexuality, seduction and what Carmen meant. Her Carmen has changed drastically with her emotional maturity. They learn valuable technique early--as they develop emotionally they will learn to associate that feeling with their music--

[Rcoppin91]

Liela Josefowicz played the Vieuxtemps no. 5 with more emotion than I have ever seen. She was 12. When you play an instrument, emotion should pour out. These technical performers are usually forced to practice, and their teachers usually tell them to work on the technical aspect first, and to leave the phrasing and interpritation until they have the notes down. Thats not how the instrument should be learned.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

Your comment said, "Typical Asian" which was a sterotype. It came across as quite unkind. There are many fine Asian players that I admire and the method has clearly been to their advantage. "That's how the instrument should be learned" There is no one method for how the instrument should be learned and this is just your opinion. There are multiple methods and honestly I believe if the talent is there--the student will learn.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

A student like Leila is certainly an exception as is ANY prodigy. The Asian have been successful at taking average kids and making them well above average players. I see nothing wrong with helping children to be accomplished people rather than throwing all their time away on useless activities. I admire the way they give their children more structure and spend more time teaching and working with their kids. Gee, typical Asian..they devote time to their kids and revere eldery TERRIBLE!

[Paradoxicc]

@OriginalMoonbeam

i could be wrong, but i would assume that you don't know many asian ppl; perhaps by name, but not personally.

i'm chinese and i have amazing parents.

calling us "typical asians" would be like asians calling white ppl "trailer park trash".

while it DOES apply to SOME ppl, it doesn't describe most of the white ppl i know personally.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

@Paradoxicc If you will read the context of my messages I went all over someone else for calling this performance "typical asian" and using that terminology...I gave THEM a raking over...I never call any person "typical"..you have misunderstood something or I did not make something clear...I find the term very objectionable.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

also, if you read on and carefully you will note that I do have Asian friends and of the ones that I know..I have great admiration for the culture..how they repect their elders, educate their children..PLEASE REREAD and READ with discernment all of my comments as they are interlinked...I was saying that any typical Asian I have ever known has had wonderful ideas about educating children that I wish WE would inculcate in OUR children..you can fault me for saying this?

[Paradoxicc]

yea, i only saw one part :P

sry about that. : )

[c830124]

emotion does not need to be presented by face and body parts

i like how she played the music just by listen to it

a professional violinist can let you "hear" the emotion, not just seeing it

[Rcoppin91]

My point exactly, I hear no emotion. Just because she is playing dynamics and accenting notes does not mean that she is playing with emotion. THERE IS NO EMOTION IN THIS PERFORMANCE.

[246trinitrotoluene]

@ Rcoppin91

for you to say that she has no emotion in this piece is complete nonsense

although you are quite good at showing emotion, even through the computer.... your jealousy is apparent to all

[empoleon9999]

Rcoppin, are you possibly mentally deficient?  She shows all kinds of emotion. Maybe not mature quite yet, but still. You're an idiot.

[Ibanezz1990]

where is this recorded ??

i really like her playing!

[aldus68]

Basta sentire come suona sta stordita per capire che è CAMPAGNELLA, in quanto le sue sono braccia RUBATE ALL'AGRICOLTURA

[pelopelez]

CAMPANELLA, NOT CAMPAGNELLA.

[AnthraxVzla]

in others languages can be say both ways

[pelopelez]

In what other languages? This is italian and in italian is CAMPANELLA, ok? Please, don't insist in your mistake.

[AnthraxVzla]

i'm not insist in my mistake, i'm just say that in spanish can be said in other ways for traslation

[ik3333]

terrible. after Leonid koga, i cannot hear that piece in any performance.

[AndromedaAiken]

Her name's Ga-Yeon Lee.

[wingedorangeumbrella]

Well that's amazing

I wonder how many hours a day she practices

and I agree, her name should be on here!

[zeldaevil]

What´s her name? She deserves her name in here!
