Nobody seems to be giving credit to the folks who play the piano accompaniments. Imagine getting to be as old as this guy & never having anyone applaud you. All the applause & all the praise are directed at the little kids he is helping. THANK YOU OLD GUY, FOR HELPING THEM! Dave E (Long Island, NY--age 70)
we need to keep in mind these are children. they are very talented and are blessed to have such a special gift for music. we should encourage them. to each his own. bravo and keep up the hard work. these are complex pieces that most adults have trouble playing.
Wow! At the beginning I thought I was watching and hearing a voice-over. Such effortless display with perfect intonation. Her stage presence is pretty cool too. I am more than impressed.
well, I think we should stop comparing her to Perlman, I mean he´s older than her. she´s still learning and has a brilliant life ahead! I truly enjoyed this and the fact that she puts so much emotion in her playing, she truly enjoys it!
I cannot comprehend what must go on in the brain and body to make those glorious sounds on the most difficult instrument there is - and by a 10 year old no less! My. God.
She seems more confident and relax at 10 than Permlann did at that age. Lovely no matter what. Totally phenomenal perforamance, 'tis true. Merry Christmas!
Phenominal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was perfect. Her pitch and technique was out of this world! I don't even play Violin, but I have an ear for music and a perfect pitch, and this was beautiful!
That's incredible!! I play the violin myself, so I know how much practice and technic you nedd to play such a thing. Congratulation dear, you are a great musician!!
Out of this world brilliant. This skill in such an early age can only come if powered from inside. She had the focus and the drive and the parents did not stand in her way. We know nothing of her childhood. It may have been as happy or unhappy as anyone elses. But with her she has taken an unbelievable skill which will open doors for her, whereever she goes.
Wow! You are a WONDERFUL violinist! You show marvelous bow control, and great tone quality! I enjoyed listening and watching this video very much. Don't let your talent be wasted... in other words, use your talent, your gift from God. He obviously knew what he was doing when he gave you this stupendous talent. I am also a violinist, but I have yet to conquer such bow control. Keep up the beautiful work, and thank you for popsting something that's NOT a waste of my time.
Just imagine the progress that this ten-year-old must have made during the past six years! But the best part of this performance is the promise, based on her ease of body movement and relaxation. Her teacher deserves a prize. And Mindy deserves a better violin.
Such confidence and grace. Good grasp of expression and character, and especially rubato. Lovely sweet tone. Mindy, you are becoming quite the mature artist already and I am excited to see where you will go from here.
A lot of people are talking about speed, but actually listen to the differences in tone and articulation. Children are incapable of playing with feeling. I've listened both Heifetz's and Perlman's recordings of Bazzini many many times.
You don't know Mindy. She loves Violin since she was very young, and so she started to play it and enjoy it everyday. She was raised in SF, USA. No one can force her do things. She loves to play and practice. She's a bright wonderful happy girl! Go Mindy! We all miss you.
Woww!! Not only is this amazing for a girl this age.. but this is one of the best recordings of this peice i've heard (taking into account how much the video must have distorted the sound)
i Really would like to hear the opinion of those 63 ppl that dislike this...whats their argument....this is amazing.most people that dislike thinks that the kid should have Childhood, but i really think that practicing any instrument is a remarkable childhood..Better than watch stupid things in the TV or Playing with dumb friends...
Thanks for posting this! I remember playing Bazzini at that age. She's done a GREAT job at it. She nailed the octaves too- (the hardest part for a violinist at speed): NICE! Too bad it's not a better resolution video on here.
PERLMAN CAN ONLY PLAY THIS WORK-RIGHT- FROM BAZZINI It is one of the hardest playable violin work ever written - Bazzini was the most famous student of Paganini . Maybe he stood higher than his teacher.
true! i'm really flattered....i mean, PERLMAN. i had the privilege of attending his summer camp. he's so easy-going, you'd never think he was one of the gods of classical violinists.
I've enjoyed all her clips so far. Secure technique aside, she has a natural musical pulse. uni33 you should tell people her name in case she becomes famous in the future!
Hahahhahaha, I almost died of laughter after reading your post!! I am seventeen and I completely understand what you mean. I'm in my school's orchestra and sometimes we watch videos like these and weep together. haha XD
Wonderful technique! Pity about the recording quality (I don't know what that other person was saying about bad intonation and sound I think it's just the recording). I don't find that actual piece to interesting, seems like a massive etude for position work and riccochet.. though, you executed it wonderfully!
what I meant by Korean is the originality.a teacher influences mostly on the technic and musicality is something that is already inside you and if you don't have that,even a great teacher can not thoroughly develope it for you but the technic can be always developed by working hard and having a good teacher.
you cant deny shes wonderful at playing but as well as her there are amazing violinst just like her erm on youtube but dont get me wrong shes good!!! ^^
Whoa so good.i started violin at onli 10 man. Nw i'm 13 years old and juz starting to play sZigeunerweisen, Pablo Sarasate ..haiZ .. so young can play tis song ...

My. God.
OMG!! She plays as perfect as Perlman, Menuhin and the other great violinist!! I want to see her playing in 10 or 20 years!!! AWESOME!!
She seems more confident and relax at 10 than Permlann did at that age. Lovely no matter what. Totally phenomenal perforamance, 'tis true. Merry Christmas!
Phenominal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was perfect. Her pitch and technique was out of this world! I don't even play Violin, but I have an ear for music and a perfect pitch, and this was beautiful!
Thank you Mindy!! Amazing! The very best performance ever heard from this piece, so lightly and beautiful!! Thank you very very much!!!
That's incredible!! I play the violin myself, so I know how much practice and technic you nedd to play such a thing. Congratulation dear, you are a great musician!!

God, what little applause for such a fenomenal performance!
She doesn't just play the piece - she also feels it AND OBVIOUSLY SHE HAS FUN HERSELF! Bravissima!!!
Just imagine the progress that this ten-year-old must have made during the past six years! But the best part of this performance is the promise, based on her ease of body movement and relaxation. Her teacher deserves a prize. And Mindy deserves a better violin.
WOW!!!! She's incredible...not even a little fault...Since when is she playing the violin??
Not comparable to great violinists, but, hey, she WILL play it great!!! Very talented girl!
From the Top usually doesn't interview very talented kids, but this one's an exception. She's great!!!
Oh my god you are so good at violin
my mouth is open and my eyes are bigger than ever! this is UNBELIEVEBLED!
this is a beautiful soloist with a beautiful future ahead of her. i am most inspired.
Such confidence and grace. Good grasp of expression and character, and especially rubato. Lovely sweet tone. Mindy, you are becoming quite the mature artist already and I am excited to see where you will go from here.

Children are incapable of playing with feeling. I've listened both Heifetz's and Perlman's recordings of Bazzini many many times.
Wow...I'd consider this incredible played by a violinist of any age. Amazing.
If at the age of 10 she can play this much, which actually is really good, then wait till she'll get 20!
Very good indeed!!
You don't know Mindy. She loves Violin since she was very young, and so she started to play it and enjoy it everyday. She was raised in SF, USA. No one can force her do things. She loves to play and practice. She's a bright wonderful happy girl!
Go Mindy! We all miss you.
Woww!! Not only is this amazing for a girl this age.. but this is one of the best recordings of this peice i've heard (taking into account how much the video must have distorted the sound)
This is amazing!!! I play the violin myself but there's no way I will become this good in a couple more years. I just started to play. (I'm 10.)
She's bloody good... nice dress too..
She is wonderful. How old was she when she started violin?
I wonder how long she practiced a day then..
just amazing.
the tempo is not very steady at the begaining...so the piano has a bit out phase...but it's very good indeed=] i love it
OMG!! She is awesome!! I want to listen her interpretations in 10 or 15 years.
i Really would like to hear the opinion of those 63 ppl that dislike this...whats their argument....this is amazing.most people that dislike thinks that the kid should have Childhood, but i really think that practicing any instrument is a remarkable childhood..Better than watch stupid things in the TV or Playing with dumb friends...

Thanks for posting this!

superb job on such a difficult piece!
look forward to seeing the next wiz clip..
good luck!
No. This is Antonio Bazzini - La Ronde Des Lutins (The Dance of the Goblins)
PERLMAN CAN ONLY PLAY THIS WORK-RIGHT- FROM BAZZINI
It is one of the hardest playable violin work ever written - Bazzini was the most famous student of Paganini . Maybe he stood higher than his teacher.
That is MIles Graber!!! Only the most awesome Piano accompanist ever!!
true! i'm really flattered....i mean, PERLMAN.
i had the privilege of attending his summer camp. he's so easy-going, you'd never think he was one of the gods of classical violinists.
小女生~您演奏得非常棒~加油~阿偉~台灣~
Well done LI LIN,well done Mindy.5 stars!!!
wow, that piece is so difficult to play , you have to have such extreme bow control. i love playing that piece. she's awesome. great job!
man i wish i can play bazzini im ten too and i can play paganini very well
A bit, but it's amazing that she's able to play this at this level of proficiency at all, at her age.
What I amazes me is, for some reasaon, not the playing, but the fact that she's remembering it all without sheetmusic
AWESOME PERFORMANCE!! The piece itself, however just repeats and repeats and repeats.
that was absolutly amazing!-sorry for my spelling...
she's fabulous!! All r in tune and almost no mistake :P KEEP IT Up!!
I've enjoyed all her clips so far. Secure technique aside, she has a natural musical pulse. uni33 you should tell people her name in case she becomes famous in the future!
Beautiful girl playing beautyful music!
Dear Mindy, you are brilliant! i salute you and your parents! from Aunt hsumao.
omg you are so good my dream would want to take lessons and be as great of a player like you are!
Hahahhahaha, I almost died of laughter after reading your post!! I am seventeen and I completely understand what you mean. I'm in my school's orchestra and sometimes we watch videos like these and weep together. haha XD
certainly a remarkable performance, congratulations
that was simply insane, amazing
Wow such a gift! I can see her getting a full scholarship to college when she gets older!
an incredible talent whose childhood was more than likely robbed of her.
I love the pianists look at 1:37
Great job to both!
Excellent, great sound!
she has such grace near the end :)
i can't believe my ears and eyes :D you play too good!!

Wonderful technique! Pity about the recording quality (I don't know what that other person was saying about bad intonation and sound I think it's just the recording).
I don't find that actual piece to interesting, seems like a massive etude for position work and riccochet.. though, you executed it wonderfully!
GOD DAMN!!!! YOU GO GURL!!!
Certified Intergalactic! Where's Mindy now?
Bravo, very well done
i don't know who you are, but i love you for saying this.

what I meant by Korean is the originality.a teacher influences mostly on the technic and musicality is something that is already inside you and if you don't have that,even a great teacher can not thoroughly develope it for you but the technic can be always developed by working hard and having a good teacher.
she plays really fast and good. I want to be like her .
