[@JongleurJ10]

Oh yeah the clarity is cool. There's no sense taking a piece that's too fast for you and blurring the notes or skipping a few. And even if a piece is super quick it's nice to still be able to follow each note.

Never heard this much dynamic lively beautiful violin performance before. Clara accomplished that no violinist hasn't accomplished - mastering both Paganini and Kleisler.combined to add her own. This is the best live La Campanella

[@hjskakl]

For those who think violin version of this piece doesn’t look too difficult - it is because this video is an arrangement by Kreisler. He skipped the most difficult part such as double harmonics. The original of La Campanella is the 3rd movt. of Paganini Violin Concerto No.2. It sounds so much better than this arrangement and piano version.

[@viviana9089]

[@hxL2_elisa]

An audience that can clap at the same beat, (except that one person) has my respect. Edit- I thought you weren't supposed clap mid way? Edit 2- that playing was like... SOOOO GOOD! Edit 3- the violin and the piano are like mt favourite instruments and dang, I just discovered this piece and this playing is just so sweet and beautiful, crystal clear. I'd listen to this recording forever!

[@acsaha8304]

Response to Edit 1 question: I am a bit late in answering your question but I have heard that clapping mid-way a performance is perfectly fine AS LONG AS you are doing it along with the beat of the piece. I still do not recommend clapping during a performance because the performer itself may not like it or some other reason but I hope this helps! :)
