A Child Prodigy

[Retired Spook]

This is from 2018 but this young lady is totally off the charts - she is off the planet...



I skipped the introduction and jumped right into the meat. Spectacular.

its amazing the talent some kids have.

I wish to God that I could have found something to be that good at in life.

I know what you mean. When I was going through the talent line I got shoved out of it.

Wow, she's incredible.
Here's another Asian female prodigy that is off the chart. She's 13 years old and has been praised by a slew of rock stars including Robert Plant who said "it's like falling off a log for her".

That young lady is truly amazing. From the 9.5 minute to the end of the video was fantastic and I could have listened to her play for hours. However, from the start to the 9.5 min mark, while showing great talent, I found her performance to be about as enjoyable as listening to Rap or Jazz--both of which I simply DON'T consider to be music. Just me saying.

That young lady is a total Master of the violin. I believe that the beginning, which I thought I skipped when I copied the vid(?), was just a demonstration of her complete domination of the entire instrument.

A violin is the most difficult musical instrument to learn to play, much less learn to play as well as her. She is phenomenal.

I remember when I first saw this. She is simply incredible.

Why is the only things I'm THAT good at... I shouldnt be good at!

That young lady is proof of the Jesuit maxim: “Give me the child for the first seven years and I'll give you the man (person).”

She started playing the violin when she was 4-years old - her mother is the strings (violin, cello etc) teacher at a Singapore music academy - and I have no doubt that she practiced for an incomprehensible amount of hours instead of watching the Kardashians...

I would say that it was all worth it.

More music to my ears! Truly amazing...

 

[SmokyMose]

Wow!
She did it with a full sized violin and without sheet music, she just had it memorized. She had me at the start because I'm a big Vivaldi fan. It always amazed me how someone could play an instrument without frets, just knowing where the notes are.
Seeing someone with so much talent really makes me feel mediocre...

I'm right there with ya Smoky! I just started learning to play the violin but there aren't enough years left this go round to become as good as her or the previous vids in the thread - not that I think I could even in my prime; to play that well is a natural gift - child prodigy...

I've been playing bass guitar since I was 16 - what surprises me about the violin is it isn't as hard as I thought it might be to hit notes without frets!

 

[SmokyMose]

- child prodigy...

Mozart was a child prodigy. I sincerely hope she doesn't end up like he did...

 

[Retired Spook]

More of this amazing violinist. If I ever hit the Powerball I am going to hire her to come and play for me. It is amazing what a human can achieve when they put their mind to it.

 

[Marknmd]

Wow. Okay. Well, this girl here is fifteen which is still a child, right? She's playing Led Zeppelin's Since I've Been Lovin' You off their third album released 1970. I've watched/listened to this video fifty times and I'm still not tired of it. Turn it up.

 

[Retired Spook]

I appreciate all types of music and talent but I just love how a violin sounds.
