Incredible perfection!

[snichol8]

This is parts 111 and IV of Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy, the second Allegro Moderate and Moderato. This is a fun but difficult piece to play. Sarah certainly was a gifted child.

I used to love to listen to the entire Fsntasy when a teen back in the 1960's.

i played it myself, but never did play it as well as Sarah. I know she had to practice it repeatedly to play it so well. Although child prodigies are gifted, they still have to practice for long hours to achieve this level of perfection.
