[Violinissimo]

Not a bad cello, is it German made?

[MarcisLeonnel]

No, my cello is asian =)

Your style is great! You do need some intonation work. Just warm up with some scales in the key of the piece before you go on; that's what I do.

[MarcisLeonnel]

Thank you.

I'll follow your advice. The intonation problem is _partly_ caused by the excitement of being on stage, playing in front of many people.

Perhaps I shouldn't record in public.

my man...it is the spirit and effort that counts. give him few more years and he will ripen up to a beautiful player. No one is born with an instrument in his hand. Good job!

[itzJooolieee]

you're really good!

[M8T12B93]

i like it a little slower, and try to work on the dynamics. Then it will be perfect!

[firefightermeath]

@MarcisLeonnel of course you should play in public, why not if you have a gift share it with the world.

But can I say one thing when playing this piece, slow it way down. think of the graceful bird the swan is

and apply the emotion and feeling in your playing. well done though.

[horsesruleever]

Good job. The notes where close to perfect. Keep on giving.

I know the pressure while playing infront of people is very hard.

I have to do it today too.

I think though apart from the notes. If maybe you slowed down just a little pace, put maybe a little more feeling into it. If you get what I mean, ike the ast note a bit more .. love :P

But then who am I to judge.

It's good.

And me ,I'm only 13 And play it to.

KEEP UP THE WORK!!

[Hekla99041]

you know i played it when i was 9 and it was better then this i dont want to brag.i think you play too rough

[Hekla99041]

i played it when i was 9 and i played better. i think you play to roughly and btw this song is not so hard to play!!

[regaldrifter]

well im 15 and i play quite competively, keep practicing, the intonation is VERY strong! lovely. just in a couple years my friend, i could use a better cello, but your cello sounds okay, also try to practice gettinga characteristic vibrato and wider

The young people of the world recognize the incredible beauty of hip-hop versus euro classical. euro classical is whimpering before the abortion. Opera houses are closing, orchestras are shutting down due to diminished or virtually no funds. It's not merely the economy--it's the paucity of interest in euro classical among the young. These are facts, and facts are stubborn things. Good riddance, and may hip-hop bloom in the ears of the young for a hundred years.

I don't think Saint-Saens intended for this to be played so quickly. Other than a few intonation issues, congratulations :)

@MarcisLeonnel Hey man!!!

nice job!! about recording in public, that is the real way to get experience!!! so, you can organize some private concerts/recitals with friends!! that is fun, and you'll get some stage experience....i do it and is quite cool!!!

[21mariao]

A bit too fast in my opinion. I love this piece though. Congratulations.
