Hmm morph47, I don't know who you are, but I'm assuming you are a professional, because that is not amateur level playing. You have a "retro" style of playing, especially your vibrato. So few young musicians these days have the skill or discipline to use the fast, narrow, and consistent vibrato that Milstein, Stern, Heifetz, etc. would use. I think this is actually a REALLY difficult piece, and you do it sooo well. Anyway, all this is just my opinion, but I really really enjoy this!!!

Thank you very much! I admire most the older generation of violinists, of whom I base my sound and technique on. I appreciate your comments

....so not all the boys use drugs and alcool

[asachildtobecome]

well done boys! It's hauntingly sad and beautiful..

I might steal that trill  :-)

Pretty laid back for someone who appears so young. Young musicians can be so, well, overbearing with the technique (new toy syndrome). Very nice.

truely beautifully played as another person said its hauntingly sad and beautiful , i'm in grade 4 violin and i think i will choose this piece after hearing you play it thanks :)

And there was no room to mention that I love the rubato. I need to hear you more - both of you - Tony - your solo during "Morph's" trill and your rubato is superb-at the scales in 6ths. So few folks know this and it is real refreshing to hear it played so well by you here! Again Great Playing. And thanks many times!

The whole presentation is just lovely. Vibrato is excellent-phrasing - all wonderful! I'm learning it mainly by ear from this video- a classical guitar solo version and perfectly in the key of D minor-easy to render (just a joke folks-nothing is easy on guitar.) in this key it works very well. Great job-ensemble is real nice and you're both very sensitive to make it look so effortless. I didn't like the work at first but just a few hearings and I was humbled. Masterpiece here - thank you !

@patugi it took you 3 years to reply and call me a "faggot". You obviously failed to mature in those 3 years. And it doesn't matter how "easy" you think a piece is. It just shows you don't understand how to appreciate real music.

[patugi]

@DeeFL08 too easy, faggot.

Fantastic playing - I keep on coming back here to listen to this piece of music <3

Such a fantastic interpretation!

[OhSoRadicalll]

@patugi yeah but it sounds beautiful and he plays with passion and emotion, isn't that what music is supposed to be about?

@morph47 I'm learning this right now and I'm practicing with your music I'm so happy that I found a violin player that can play better then other people who play instruments I know. You play really well. ( I think that's the wrong grammar but, too bad I don't care about grammar)
