I was doing some research for my music class in one of my off periods yesterday and I came across two things that I wanted to share.
The first is a video clip of a violinist playing Paganini’s Caprice No. 24. In case you haven’t heard of him, Niccolo Paganini was probably the greatest violinist who ever lived. Some of the pieces he composed are virtually un-playable for anyone else. Even then, it’s still hard to find a violinist who can play them WELL. I used to listen to this song as a kid during my four years of violin lessons. Seeing this clip, ESPECIALLY the end, however, made me realize that listening to this piece and WATCHING it are two very different things! Again, I was overcome by how extremely difficult it is to play anything from this composer.
Also, remember back when I posted about a girl named Connie who was the Runner Up on Britain’s Got Talent and had a CD coming out soon? This is her first single- you will not believe that she is only 6!!!
