@thecoolcatCC122 you totaly can its not that hard to learn it if you practice lots. my violin teacher told me to have it ready in a month and it wasnt that hard.

[MYtuesday1111]

gosh bekah i love you!!! i mean i knew you kicked butt at violin but i had no idea how good you really are!!! love you dear, remember anne (whitney) when you're famous ;)

[tinkerbell19able]

She awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed this performance! Her tone and vibrato had a grace and ease that I will hope to emulating in my performance!

[tinkerbell19able]

wow, amazing tone and vibrato especially after she gets into it more after around 40 seconds or so. Beautiful playing, I'm thrilled that talent such as this exists in America but am also surprised at the amazing amount of negative comments on here. She has amazing talent and--to all you smile-pushers out there--I've noticed musicians are quite unique in their facial expressions during concerts and therefore find it completely ridiculous to comment that she needs to smile.

[violin4ever1]

relax and move more...it'll help you look more confident even though you're already are that great P.S. don't frown, smile

[koxilas1193]

@violin4ever1 maybe she enjoys it more that way...it depends

[DNAdoc1748]

@violin4ever1 yay!!! we should all tell the violinist what they're doing wrong... ever tried smiling while performing? it's hard and plus most smiles during performances are very artificial so you'd look creepy.

[BeautifulMusic1000]

I know her she is amazing!!!! :)

[timusic16]

at 1:54 the D# is wayy too sharp. but otherwise really nice playing. only 13? wow thats impressive

over 6 years of study =)

[tinkerbell19able]

@LuisXVILostSoul wow!!! only six! sooooo jeealous haha

[Zarfff]

You look calm and relaxed and in control... and with good reason. You have excellent command of this piece! It's hard to keep the wrist loose in the quick runs near the end of this movement-- your sound is good in these sections and the effect is brilliant! Still, you might work to maintain flexibility in passages like these. Bravura ending! Your performance left me smiling with pleasure at your talent. Thank you!

[missm0zart]

gud for thirteen... but not much character (she looks bored... its allegro giocoso!!!) AND a bit lack of articualtion at the beginning of notes so it sounds "fluffy" rather than neat

[Zarfff]

On "looking bored." I just don't see this-- didn't at all look bored to me. On the other hand, people said the same thing about Heifetz, who also looked cool, collected, and focussed when he played. I guess it's easy to mistake the intensity of concentration for something else. :-)

[missm0zart]

yea but how much more amazing is Heifetz?! Its nt just the way she concentrates... thats fine, however it is the sound that is boring and predictable. just my opinion...

[violinci]

woww she's playing very good.. conguraltions..

[ninames]

Dear Rebekah Willey, you are amazing. Bravissima!

[iluminada333]

wow amazing O.O i want to play like youu so calm and clear wow...

[cuteandviciousjoany]

i agree the soloist is much better than the orchestra. great job on your ability to not muddle your uber fast sixteenth notes on the last page :)

you could've used more vibrato when on the g string towards the end of the cadenza. and a bit more emotion throughout

overall very good :D

[threestrings]

Hi Rebekah! Wow! We think you're fantastic! We hope to see you again someday! From ymf cello Kelcey and family

[crankycaz]

Very very good!

[haruko416]

BRAVO!!!

[FilipeBarrosAlves]

VERY VERY GOOD :O

[happiestmillionaire]

The soloist is a hundred times better than the orchestra. For 13, she is great. I love her lickadee split tempo at the end.
