He plays violin with so many facial expression. My sister asked me why do I keep on pouting and raising my eyebrows when playing and I said "It's a natural violinist expression sis".

That's so true, that's 'cause we try to feel the emotion of the piece and feel the music itself.

steph I know, but in Spanish speaking countries the song twinkle twinkle little star is just referred as "estrellita". So in our language it literally has the same name as twinkle twinkle little star . so I was wondering if this estrellita has something to do with the other estrellita.

Not at all. Manuel Ponce is credited as the founder of the Mexican Nationalist Music movement. The first Mexican ethnomusicologist. He went from Romanticism (Estrellita, A pesar de Todo, Apasionadamente) to Nationalism. In 1910 he made a recollection of Mexican folk music including an out of this world version of ¨La Cucaracha¨, Las Mañanitas (Mexican Birthday song), Jarabe, Sandunga, Cielito Lindo . He also wrote versions inspired in Bach, Handel, Debussy. A very prolific composer born in Fresnillo Zacatecas 1882. Success.

I was born in Zacatecas, Mexico. The same place that Manuel M. Ponce (composer of this piece), and I have to tell that I'm so proud that musicians like you play Zacatecas's music. Thank you!! Greetings! :3

he is not the composer. It is a old folk song and Ponce arranges it~well it is really a wonderful song~

Wang Frida Manuel M. Ponce was the composer of this song, is not a folk tune!!! Heifetz arranged it and Mtro. Chen is playing this arrangement, thank you

Yes, Manuel Maria Ponce composed it. I also recommend you his Intermezzo

Heifetz was playing a concert in New Mexico and realise he didn’t have any Mexican music on his programme, then heard this in a bar and cause of his perfect pitch he wrote the piece on the back of a napkin, and later that night arranged it for violin and piano - that piece is what you are listening to in this video

😍 This is such a special song!!! “Little star from far heavens, you who know my woe, who sees my love, Come down and tell me if he loves me, even just a tiny bit Because without his love I cannot live ❤️ You are my little star, my beacon of light 🌟 You know that soon I shall die Come down and tell me if he loves me, even just a tiny bit Because without his love, I cannot live 🌟💕

Beautiful interpretation, Ray. So wonderful-what joyous playing.

Thank you Ray and Julio! So much beauty

Goosebumps, omg! Thanks so much for introducing this piece to us

Ray, this piece, this recording, means so much to me. I love it so much, i don't know know how little time you had to rehearse this but I strive to bring the same emotion out of it as you did. Your tone and your phrasing is absolutely sublime. Thank you so much for posting this.

My teacher played this at one of my lessons, and it was beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. I had to come back and listen more. My orchestra teacher thinks very highly of you.

The double stops at the end are SO COOL!
