Czardas by Vittorio Monti for double bass and guitar

[@LaurenPierceBass]

If you’d like to learn this piece, I have my personal edition available for you in my online shop for DB and Piano: gumroad.com/l/czardas

[@liamanson3082]

I guess it is quite off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="43">0:43</a> she really cut that gliss off and paused a bit to build it up. probably one of the best bass interpretations i have ever seen. well done!

[@ruefffrazao8806]

My female student watched this and she feels inspired. She just learned how to play bass a year ago and made All-County this year.This is exactly what she needed to see and hear. She is now dressing up as the first female bassist (whoever that is) for our Women's Tea Party at the school. Thank you.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

That is adorable! Thank you for sharing that with me. If I can help with anything please let me know :)

[@nicholasr-m1631]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a> that run is enough to crush my self esteem for about 2 years holy crap

[@Aki-tu2pu]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="44">0:44</a> that gliss gave me goosebumps! Really well done!

[@Superkamirucker]

Excuse me while I hang my head in shame and sob silently into my bass in my practice room...

[@nicholasr-m1631]

i felt that on a personal level

[@Boris1878]

Ich hätte niemals gedacht, dass am Gitarre & Kontrabass den “Czardas” von Vittorio Monti so warm klingen kann ! Meine Ohren beginnen fast zu glühen !

[@USCbass]

So great! and proud of you Lauren!!!

[@LaurenPierceBass]

+Craig Butterfield This is my amazing teacher, everyone! Thank you so much Craig :)

[@tianhongzhou8065]

@@LaurenPierceBass thought you were born to know how to play bass haha

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

Those high notes had a nice humanly sounding :O Great work, didn't know about the double bass, beautiful instrument

[@mouluc9969]

Verónica Darrell Yes you did, in jazz probably...

[@romeyjomey4539]

Mouluc SHE SAID SHE D I D N’ T K N O W!!!!!!! comprendre?

Gitana Maldita Perhaps you heard the cello? It’s this things little brother, with the same range as a guitar.

[@georgealvey]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="158">2:38</a> my lord what awesome , passionate , beautiful playing . Out of this universe ! Never in 60 years of listening and playing heard anyone play like this ! I’ve heard many of the greats and you are the crème de la creme ! BRAVO

[@ellerycollier239]

I'm never gonna be able to sound that clean and fast on bass! Thats so impressive

[@YouZilaTak]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="44">00:44</a> Main blow The best thing i heard this Year for sure ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@prometheus23c]

Today in my music lesson I learnt that you have to play every single with absolute love, or else there is no sense in making music. Now I come here and watch this video and I understand what my teacher meant. Thanks for posting this!

[@matthewv789]

retro Listen to Mikyung Sung playing at the 648 house concert for another example of playing every note with love. Absolutely gripping and emotional.

[@dhchemistry]

You two should record an album! I listen to this at least once a week.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

+chakrakhan Aw thank you! I'll show this comment to Andrew :)

[@danielnagy6477]

Although I've seen this video several times before I really like to return here as you show the perfect example of how to play emotionally yet not overdoing theatrics on the character of this piece (which I notice watching some of bassists). I'm practicing the Czardas these times and you gave me a really great inspiration (again), thank you!

[@sylvainmeneux7266]

That's what I love about KZbin. Random talent finds. Brilliant!

[@LaurenPierceBass]

I am equally as happy you found me! Thank you!

[@panoramicviewer]

Lauren, that was amazing and truly inspiring. Seeing you play so eloquently with that high level of artistry has definitely motivated me to keep pushing on the bass. Thank you girl!!! Please post more videos whenever you can! Love this

[@LaurenPierceBass]

I'm so sorry for the late response. Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope your musical journey is going fabulously since you left me this comment! xx

[@patrickthedoublebassist5505]

every time it gets me

[@edmayhew]

I think I just fell in love :) My friends used to be in a gypsy band called Loyko and this brings a strange sense of nostalgia! Only Mr Bradetich could come up with an arrangement like this, really pushing the boundaries of what can be done with the instrument, great interpretation.

[@MG-dd9kj]

Got a wonderful CD by Loyko - best regards to your friend!

[@lissettesolis9295]

im a female bassist too(playing like 5-6 yrs now), n you're the one who i look up to cuz i rarely see amazing female bass players like you

[@matthewv789]

Lissette Solis Mikyung Sung is a wonderful inspiration also. (Her czardas for instance is at the end of a video for the 648 house concert, following the Bottesini Elegy no 2)

[@zoroforo323]

Beautiful version csardas -Vittorio Monti !

[@zoroforo323]

Hvala lijepa. Meni se sviđa i ta verzija !

[@devinsmith7388]

This is amazing. You've inspired me to really push my limits as a bassist, thank you.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Thank you so much! Good luck with everything. Do you have any videos or recordings? I would love to hear you play if you do.

[@321scgirl3]

As a young bassist, I can learn so much from your performance. Thanks for posting. Your incredible!

[@BestBassTabs]

You have such a Beautiful voice on the instrument and a Virtuoso technique. AMAZING!!!

[@diversekayaker]

Wow Lauren! That was so awesome...I like Czardas so much with guitar and bass, but most of all, I adore the artistry you bring to the performance. Keep it coming!

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Thanks Jackie :) Hopefully we can play the duet for 2 basses together one day!

[@eliomoreno4399]

I second that! Brilliant job indeed!

[@LaurenPierceBass]

***** Aw thank you :)

[@makanaloha]

OM! I have never heard this on double bass and guitar. You are truly amazing. I could listen to you play all day and night! Thank you! Mahalo! Fiddler in Hawai`i

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Thank you! Double bass and guitar is one of my favorite combinations musically.

[@naderlabib3503]

Great music , I working on Czardas since 3 months on violin , it's not easy but I love it .... Guys you rock

[@LaurenPierceBass]

+nader labib It's such a fun piece! Thank you :)

[@joepesce2738]

Wow in six years you became fantastic! Your intonation improved a lot!

[@gatozarin]

where are the millions of views and likes you deserve? omg this is insane, I’m holding myself to the chair

[@tonyhunt100]

This is so good it should have millions of views! It's sad most people would rather waste their time listening to "songs" like I'm in love with the Coco, I mean what is going on! Beautiful performance I am truly amazed by your playing!

[@AllenPMinton]

Jaw-dropping virtuosity!

[@ChezzOnBass]

First... Why only a couple hundred views!? You are amazing. Masterful playing. Very beautiful in every facet.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Incredible and wonderful. Thank you. I am inspired to go back to this piece.

[@jerrygillgren7635]

Unbelievable skill.....and beauty :-). Two perfectly matched musicians for each other. I can only dream of playing double Bass like you.

[@juanpablorodriguez6859]

Bravo¡¡ Bravisimo¡¡ Best regards from Mexico

[@joshhammer7440]

I have to learn how to play this now. it might take 50+ years, but that was amazing

[@pianomusicminded96]

This inspired me to practice playing the contrabass even more 💕 still on book 1 Simandl but eventually I'll be like you 😍

[@LaurenPierceBass]

+Deyn Angel Keep working hard!! :)

[@urbansocrates]

Thanks for posting this lovely performance! My best to you. )

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Matt Brown Thank you! And to you as well!

[@michaelangelo3124]

Lauren, you have the x-factor; passion, precision, a unique personality and more. What's in the near future ?.. symphonic, chamber, recording..... You could supersede Gary Karr as a soloist with your cello like timbre and passion for the music. You are awesome in duos like guitar or piano to breath new life into songs such as these.

[@matthewv789]

Mike Wes I think many bassists today could supersede Gary Karr. He is great and a pioneer but others are even more talented now, and don’t treat bass playing like a joke or stunt, like “ooh, look what crazy things this awkward, lugubrious elephant of an instrument can do!! Haha isn’t it funny?” They treat it like any other instrument to be played beautifully with passion and emotion. Players like Lauren and Mikyung Sung and Bozo Paradzik make you forget it’s supposedly a hard to play instrument with a gruff deep sound, because when they play it’s just beautiful and effortlessly virtuosic.

[@AlexisAlfaro9]

Bravo. Love the setting as well. You can make music anywhere. Thank you for sharing.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Thank you! I adore that loft. Can't wait to get back there and play :)

[@tyceh5102]

I'm so excited! I hope they have this for cello!

[@windyhours]

Incredible, simply incredible.

[@wandabetsabecanosolis8450]

Wow. This is awesome. I'm currently working on Sonata no 3 for my 1st year concert. Everything was awesome in this video keep it up!!

[@imasaint59]

Beautiful work. The sound system you used was very good.

[@Indianadixon]

WAHOO! Awesome job! I wasn't sure anyone would have attempted this on bass, much less put it out on KZbin. It's also really cool to see a female double bassist on KZbin.

[@matthewv789]

Indiana Dixon Make sure to check out Mikyung Sung also!

[@elainebolton7709]

Amazing to play this on a bass!

Excelente apresentação, um belo duo, com destaque para Lauren

[@Woodtoter]

Hello Lauren., just beautiful playing., as good as it gets., I grew up with your Dad., he and My brother Louie Boyleston played in a Band called the Dickens., they were really good., my name is Steve., tell him I said hello and keep playing.

[@imapooh]

Awsome! accompanied by guitar is also nice

[@megazuccc]

That was beautiful and some really high notes she hit

[@kathrynmcmillan6398]

So beautiful! Thank you.

[@maxwellbrand]

Beautiful! I haven't heard the bass played like that since Bela and Edgar did B Song. :)

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Thank you! That is a huge compliment. Edgar and Bela are the best. :)

[@gyorgybalogh1692]

I like it very much, it is a great music, amazing ! good to listen

[@ezvkm77]

Very Very fun to watch!

[@bobs369]

I love this great work!

Who the hell are 17 dislikes. That is just what I am curious about. Because the work is great and are there 17 people who can do better than this?

[@DolganoFF]

+Eyüp Ömer Bal Some people cannot stand beautiful girls doing very well what was concidered men's work before. My guess.

+DolganoFF maybe these are some guys whose tools are not as big as this girl's:)

[@matthewv789]

Yeah seriously it’s really good. Other people may do it differently, it’s a very expressive piece with a lot of opportunity for different tone colors (Mikyung Sung has an equally wonderful performance from the 648 house concert, for instance, with some different tone colors and tempo/phrasing choices compared to this performance) but this is about as well played as they come.

[@7flat9]

Bravo! Bravo!

[@19bassman70]

Great playing! Brava!

[@youngbl4ckmusic]

Woooow perfect!!

[@magr80]

Beautiful ... more in the cello range but great performance. I loved it!

[@Benjabenja77]

This is brilliant!

[@JerboFotius]

Well that was awesome! Make me wanna use my bow once in a while, not that I'd be able to play like that anytime soon.. If I only heard this without seeing, I don't think I'd believe it was a bass.

[@LaurenPierceBass]

Jerbo Fotius Thank you so much! And you should take out your bow! I bet you would be great at it. :)

[@valeriacastaneda3906]

You're my inspiration!!

[@marioprietomonzon6445]

[@K100music]

[@doodlinginmathclass6013]
