Yes! It's nice to listen to a lot of different renditions, but I think it's best to do it after you already have your own idea of how the piece should sound inside your head. Then come to youtube and go crazy with all the possibilities... Have you heard SUNA's rendition of this piece? ua-cam.com/video/ZyatCgi__gM/v-deo.html
Olivia Pereira Olivia Pereira I completely agree with playing it first without any influence! I haven’t until now, That was definitely interpreted differently but it was an excellent version 😊
Truly beautiful and heart touching performance. My daughter just starts the first movement, she found this video and immediately fall in love with the music.
I have to play this piece of music for my next exam. Yours is the best performance I have ever heard, in every aspect. It has been really helpful. Thank you very much.
I'm a beginner as It's been three years since I started playing violin. I go to bed listening to this video every night. Thanks for your beautiful sound! It makes me practice harder willingly :D
You play this both soulfully and masterfully! I want to wholeheartedly thank you for posting this. I played violin from the age of 8 until 18, when I went off and majored in the sciences, ultimately becoming a physician. I am now retired, early, due to physical disability. A year and a half ago, I picked up my violin after 38 years. It was a real ego crusher. Also, the E string was too shrill (I can handle it now). I got an extremely inexpensive viola, and as bad as it was, I liked the C string. I upgraded my viola pretty quickly, and practiced it, as well as my violin, until this past July, when I found an excellent teacher. My viola teacher has really advanced my playing, on both viola and, after several months, (and a violin upgrade), on violin. I’ve gotten past the Vivaldi concerto in A minor (D minor for viola), and I am working on selected movements from the Bach Cello Suites on viola, as well as the Vivaldi double violin concerto in A minor and the Bach Violin Concerto in A minor, first movement on violin. Problem is, I played these when I was younger, I really need to play something I haven’t played before. I need the joy of learning a piece that builds on skills I already have, while allowing me to learn something totally new to me. Hearing your performance compelled me to get the sheet music. My first read through will be tomorrow. Your performance was inspiring, once again, I thank you for posting this!
Thank you so much for sharing your story, britcommom! I’m delighted this video has inspired you to explore more literature. I too love the C string, so getting a 5-string was the logical step. Feel free to check out my video DREAM WITH ME, in which I perform one of my compositions for the instrument. Have fun and enjoy the journey!
I absolutely love this song. I’m playing this piece for solo and ensemble. I listen to this video three times a day. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
I have to play this piece during the holidays, that would keep me well occupied... Fortunately it's a magnificent masterpiece! Congratulations to Gary Kuo, it's splendid! Bonjour de France!
My music teacher played this piece when she was auditioning for music school and I have a photocopied version of what she played. After listening to this recording, I realize that this sounds quite different than when an alto saxophone plays it.
I love violin (I don't play it though) but I am learning this on my baritone saxophone, and the part in allegro that starts at 4:25 in the vid always gets me, even though it's a rather simple part. Anyway, I love the video and your other music. You play beautifully btw.
I'm playing from 2:57-6:06 for my solo at a performance and this is what's helping me get the tempo because it's not like super fast but it's still really nice and lively so yeah this is the only video I've found with a really nice tempo so thank you :)
Wow, thank you so much for the great video! This piece is so touching and as an adult learner learning this piece alone, this is one of those pieces I dream to play. I practice and thus will be listening to your playing quite a lot! So thank you :)
I'm an adult beginning student in my fifth year and my teacher just gave me this piece. It is helpful to see this video to understand a number of the nuances my teacher is discussing with me as well as to see the gestalt (my lessons are now virtual due to physical distancing and so live accompaniment is no longer and option). Of particular help is the Largo...which is not as Largo-y as many. Thank you!!
Hi, Allison! I’m delighted this performance is of benefit to your growth as a musician! Thank you for sharing your story and best wishes to you and your instructor!
Gary Kuo Thank you for these kind words. You motivated me and I will work on my skills. And maybe one day it’ll sound less like a duck and more like this amazing piece.
My pleasure. I'm a violist and there's a transcription of this sonata for viola-- lowered a fifth (to B-flat)-- and you've inspired me to work on it. :)
What beautiful Music ! For 1/2nd at 10:03,.... Uh Oh ..Oh Brandenburg ^ 3rd Mvt.... Nice to see how differently and beautifully one can develop a little impulse
Thanks for uploading this. My daughter is working on the 2nd movement for her eisteddfod performance, it will really help her to actually *watch* it rather than just listening to the CD.
@@garykuovideos My pleasure!!! You play with so much class! Be well, and again, thank you so much for being an inspiración for so many of us who play with you at home!!! Ha ha!
Wow this is amazing! I've been playing violin for three years. I recently played the allegro and largo for a competition and now I'm working on the other allegro and adagio. This video has really helped me😊
You are most welcome, Gary. I wish you every success. You may look me up on my blog the world of bz niditch or just put my name on google. I played this sonata all through high school and college and believe you have a unique interpretation. bz niditch
Thank you so much for helping me play this piece you have been a great inspiration to many people including me. You helped me have more confidence in myself despite what everyone says so thank you!
I’m so scared that I need to play this sonata for my final exams this year,and I only have 9 months😩 This perf. was amazing,you’re helping me a lot😅 thanks 🙏😊
Thank you so much for the video! I love your interpertation of this Sonata. I am a music major in college. I just played the first two movements in my first Jury. I am currently working on the last two movements for my next jury. Your video has really helped me feel well prepared for my juries.
Beautifully played!!! Learning the Allegro now after 1,5 year of playing violin - it's so challenging, but with a lot of patience and practice, I know I can do it. But probably not as wonderful as you!
A truly beautiful piece of music from one of the greatest composers ever (I think number 4 after B, B and M). Thanks for putting it up here. Masterful execution!
I’m on this piece now and my teacher recommend this recording of the Sonata. Very well played and I can’t wait until I can play through :)
I’m glad you find this performance helpful, Emmalee Easter! Please thank your teacher for me!

Doing for S&E in a few weeks

Celestial Pillows Good luck!
Truly beautiful and heart touching performance. My daughter just starts the first movement, she found this video and immediately fall in love with the music.
Thank you for the kind words, Aurora!
playing this on sax but listening to violin parts helps so much with making the piece so much more dynamic and knowing how.
That’s great to hear! Saxes are awesome!
I have to play this piece of music for my next exam. Yours is the best performance I have ever heard, in every aspect. It has been really helpful. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much, manuela contestabile! Best wishes on your exam! You’ll do great!
Szeryng plays good too

+Jinny Jang Thank you so much for sharing your journey with me! I’m flattered by your kind words. :)
Handel sonatas are so lovely. They contributed towards my continuing violin lessons when I was young.
listening to this for my homework. It is truly beautiful. You really have inspired me to practise more
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you for your kind words and enjoy the process of making music!
The violinist plays with significant meaning to Handel's sonata. It is spontaneous and vibrant. Delightful rendition, thanks for sharing.
+Helena Williams You’re very welcome!! Thank you so much for your generous compliments!
A fine performance. The Handel violin sonatas are gems----the best baroque music written.
Only bach!
Yes!!!, but only after BACH!😂
Playing this for violin exam. This really helped me, thanks. Btw you play wonderfully
Thank you very much, George Sun! Best wishes for a great performance!
Played this for my solo and got a one, what a great piece of music I love the way this was played
+Mellennie Herrera Thank you very much!
You're welcome but please continue to play, you have such talent!

Hi, Thi! You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found our performance of this sonata helpful!
I'm so into Paganini and Ernst recently that sometimes I forget the beauty of simple pieces lol, wonderful performance
Each piece has it's own complexity. This is why this piece is in Suzuki Violin book 6.
I have to play this piece during the holidays, that would keep me well occupied... Fortunately it's a magnificent masterpiece!
Congratulations to Gary Kuo, it's splendid! Bonjour de France!
Merci, Mary Diana! Enjoy the journey!
정말 잘 하시네여 ~^^앞으로 더 좋은 음악 들려주세여♡👏👏👏😶
Beautiful performance, thank you!
I'm working on this piece and listening to this video every other night for help when I practice. Thank you so much and keep on doing what your doing!
I have the music and played the sonata solo many times and even played it for my music teacher association about eight years ago. A beautiful piece.
Very cool, Charles! I agree!
Beautiful! 🎉 I’m currently studying this piece to prepare for my audition for all state in September! Your playing are literally a guideline!!!
I’m delighted our performance is helpful! Best of luck with your audition!
My music teacher played this piece when she was auditioning for music school and I have a photocopied version of what she played. After listening to this recording, I realize that this sounds quite different than when an alto saxophone plays it.
I love alto sax, Ballistic Lizard! I’ll bet it sounds amazing!
@@garykuovideos When she played it, it did. I'm still working on it though so I might not sound as good. Practice makes perfect!
Take your time @@winterine4827, and enjoy the process!
Such a beautiful piece! Thanks for sharing your amazing performance.❤
Thank you for listening! 🙂
Ahh, man! So good! I can barely play it now but it’s so hard, your Video helped me a lot! Thanks for your help.
@Entelligente_Enten_Ente Thank you for your kind words! Take your time. With steady, consistent progress and discipline, you can do it!
im playing this song right now and I love this recording
Thank you so much for letting me know!
What a gift you have! I yearn to play with such beauty and clarity.
Perlman makes his violin sing. What a gift he has and what a heart!
What a fine performance! Thank you for sharing, it's gorgeous!
Thank you so much for listening!
What a brilliant and elegant melodies, beautifully reproduced!!
+Cantabile H Thank you!
I played adagio back in high school ask me anything about it now 😂😂😂😂😂 and even allegro damn this brings back memories.
Thank you for watching!
@@garykuovideos please post more and keep it up
Sweet music.
Beautifully done.

+Lynn Brown Thank you! I’ve had many wonderful teachers!
I play this song all the time. It is actually one of the first songs I learned. It is so beautiful and fun to play.
Yes I play all four movements.
I also play both Allegro movements a little faster than in this video.
Good for you, ፕнυиdєя! Isn’t music fantastic?
音楽は世界の共通語。
貴方が演奏するとなんと飾り気が無く、澄んでいて爽やかなヘンデルになるのでしょう！
優しい言葉をありがとう！
Bravo!! I'll play the adagio and its interpretation inspired me a lot !! Thank you!!
andersjss jss You're very welcome!
I love this. I am playing it as a trombone solo for a competition this year. So pretty.
On trombone, Emily? Awesome!
Thank you! It's faster and higher then what we normally get to play, but that just makes it even more fun, and a bit of a challenge.
I love violin (I don't play it though) but I am learning this on my baritone saxophone, and the part in allegro that starts at 4:25 in the vid always gets me, even though it's a rather simple part. Anyway, I love the video and your other music. You play beautifully btw.
+Reiguy The Awesome, thank you! The sax is one of my favorite instruments and I’ll bet you’ll sound great!
+Gary Kuo thanks!
+Reiguy The Awesome dude same, i played this for my final
I'm in eighth grade, and the high school I'm going to is known for their band programs, I'm using this piece for auditions in March.
What a great choice! I am sure You will go far !
Such a moving performance. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Emilie Vdh!
That's exactly the word for it. In this sea of darkness we can get THIS. Lucky me tonight.

How does my teacher think I will EVER be able to do this? 😂 I mean, I sound like a duck. A dying duck. With an elephant on its back.
Hi, Juana! If your teacher believes you can, then you can! Just take things slowly and be consistent with your practicing. Have fun! :)
Gary Kuo Thank you for these kind words. You motivated me and I will work on my skills. And maybe one day it’ll sound less like a duck and more like this amazing piece.
Just PRACTICE!!! You can do it!
Work on tone quality. A lot. It really shooshes the duck inside your violin.
Me too me have to learn Myself
Gorgeous tone quality. Very nice. And perfect for this upbeat, mellow, happy piece.
P.S. I like how he takes the second movement at a much more relaxed pace than others. It sounds nice at this tempo.
Thank you for listening, iCyclone!
