She is not playing to be adored by the crowd. She is feeling JS Bach 's Air trough the centuries.

Cocky is Ok.
She is not playing for an audience applause or attention, she is playing JS Bach's Air as he mend it.
So, what is the meaning of Bach's Air? Procal Harm's "a whiter shade of pale?".
Which sentence fit's Bach's air?

she's the best

Take not this artist is performing this nominal "Air on G", which really means "Air on the G string", the thickest and most difficult string on the violin to master. The original piece is written in D major, but this arrangement puts it in C major so that the lowest notes of the song coincide with the lowest note(s) of this "Air", the old-fashioned terms for long-chained melody. Slow pieces are the most difficult pieces to play on violin, and this piece really shows control - wow!

This makes me feel, despite the world.
The most original, loving care version.

i wonder what she is thinking about while she is playing that piece...
maybe her parents passing away..?? i feel rly sad..
-
most compassionate Bach "Air" so far
-
Stunning. I have never heard this played in a more affecting manner. I think I prefer the piece played on the lower G!
-
The most affecting, beautiful playing I've ever heard of this often-played piece. The gorgeous resonance of the lower string is too little heard.
She is the best female violinist ever - a female Oistrakh...

That last look on her face seems pretty cocky.

Pity you find it 'cocky'. A matter of taste and understanding. I would rather say 'apre un reve', and thoes would agree with me who sensed the beauty and serenity of the music.

That's very insolent of you - or shall I say 'cocky' following your expression? Go find your etiquette before you thoughtlessly spill comments around to other people's posts.
