@katarzynameisner one of the greatest--i agree

There might be too much tapping, but that was very beautifully baroque

@Jmasseycellobater if i were telling someone they're not 'very smart', i would spell 'you're' correctly. just saying...

[Purebunny29]

is it really that common to play on a 5-string cello? I only ask because no cellist I know does... but it would make life easier sometimes!

Absolutely beautiful

[BetaFisheta]

She isn't playing on 5 strings. Her fingering in the upper register are similar to what I use on my 4 strings. If it was 5-string she would not be in thumb position so soon. And if one looks around 2:30 the four strings are clearly seen.

[CelloChick90]

I don't think so. I could see why you think that, but I think it's an optical illusion.
