"It's also about hard work and practice" right! everybody wants to be a child prodigy until you have to practice 40 hours a day starting when you're like 5, miss hanging out with friends etc., it takes a lot of dedication. I know a few child prodigies from going to a music school here in Russia growing up and it gets more intense than just participating in competitions (lots of kids did and won the latter), a few of them ending up rebelling against their parents later on and they barely play now

@@wakingtheworld I think it's a disservice to child prodigies to assume they're all miserable and being forced to do something though. Most child prodigies aren't "forced" to do anything. You simply can't get to the level of world prodigy through forced discipline, because children don't work like that. They always burn out. All it takes is looking at the faces of kids who play their instruments to know how much they love it. And the fact is in any hobby, there's no gain without pain. Think of the US Olympic gymnasts or Russian figure skaters, most of whom get their first gold medal before they're 21. Theirs is a field where your career ends early, it takes children with a special kind of personality--they tend to be more monotonously driven than the average child (rather than most kids who have ADHD when it comes to hobbies, which is also healthy and normal), and also come from a socioeconomic class that allows their parents to support their endeavors. I also think children like this are more mentally resilient because they're so driven by passion that they're capable of withstanding hours of practice, and even more failures than most adults can even imagine. You simply can't get so far unless you really love what you're doing.

For people who don't already know: There actually is a cheat-code for violin. By playing the notes 'L-I-N-G' twice in a row, you will automatically learn to play the violin flawlessly, and adopt your own style to it. However, because of the disastrous aftermaths of various great musicians unlocking this secret code for a variety of instruments, modern music theory cap notes to G (previously H). Today, only a handful remain that know how to go beyond these notes.

We will get there guys! And we will have a lot of satisfaction from the increasing mastery levels we achieve. Not only in music, but over mind and emotion!

I had less tension in my playing as everything was less of an effort as I wasn’t so tired. Ana it was fun. And I could see that if I keep going.. well every study I learn to play is filling out aspects of my technique.

I dont even play Violin my self but my when that Paganini hit at 4 min mark i knew talent, Maria was so good like wtf so clean runs so effortless and nice souund. Also that Dvorak was spot on, it realy felt so emotional like that violin was meant to weep while she played

I gotta say, I absolutely love you guys, and every time I watch your videos I discover more and music that I love, and more composers I want to listen to. I’ve loved classical music since I was a baby (no joke, I was exposed very early) and no matter how vast my musical taste gets, classical will always be close to my heart. Thank you guys so much for continuing to expose people to classical music ❤️

It feels weird that I was classmates with the person at 6:59 for like two years in Primary School. Lol I didn’t really talk to her much, but she was nice :D, I remember the teacher showing some magazines of her and her violin skills to the class. And she performed for the school with her sister that one time. Gosh she’s so talented.

But, don’t discount the fact that your ears are so well developed to be able to recognize greatness! 😊
