Han Na Chang-"Variations on a Theme by Rossini"

[@Dindy_lover]

She might be the only cellist on KZbin who treats this piece as a MUSIC, not a Show-off. Thank you very much for doing that Hannah.

자신감과 함께 음악 연주를 진정 즐기는 모습이 사랑스럽습니다

[@roystewart4386]

Miss Chang is absolutely a magician with the cello. Exceptional talented and well trained in her choice of instrument.

[@Alecia_SA]

Can't stop listening to this piece 😀 and she plays so very well

[@일상이나]

She is an amazing cellist! Really REALLY talented and has a passion for her instrument and the music that she plays. Wonderful to listen to and to watch 😄🎵

[@Whistlejocket]

She loves to play and I love to listen!

Absolutely beautiful!! Great interpretation! She's a Cello Paganini!! I love the harmonics!! clap clap clap!

[@stratect]

Brava! Brava! Brava! amazing. An inspiration to all cellists. Definitely should have five stars!

[@MrJohnverkerk]

Very, very nice. Love her, love them. love it.

[@patrick6110]

Magnificient ! Thank you for posting this musical gem. Ms Chang's talent is enchanting.

[@Biglover29]

Love watching the emotion on her face as she plays. :-)

[@kalikianokalei8847]

There is something exquisitely expressive about the cello as a stringed instrument. The mellow tone exemplified is perfectly demonstrated by Han Na-Chang. Hearing something like this and played as emotionally would have been a highlight of my recent Prague visit. Alas, although there were several chamber ensembles to enjoy on that trip, there was no cello as empathetically played as in this piece 'Variations on a Theme by Rossini'. Absolut perfekte Mischung von Instrument und Musiker hier!

[@albierte]

All I have to do is enjoy the music and relax. Thank you for posting this wonderful performance. It's free!

[@kaikobird]

Bravo! I wish Han-Na would perform more in the states. I can't thank you enough for adding these videos, choish. Really! Thank you.

[@doloresgarciagimenez8173]

Esta pieza me trae recuerdos del otoño-invierno. Recuerdos de un escritor y una novela: Andrés Neuman y su "El viajero del siglo". Quizá coincidió la lectura del libro con escuchar esta composición bastantes veces por esa fecha. Han Na Chang es extraordinaria. Hay tanto sentimiento en esta interpretación. Maravilla!!! Imagino trineos y cascabeles.

[@omigawa0478]

非常に興味深い映像です。画質が良いので演奏技法の細かいところもなんとなく想像できそうです。今は指揮の方も忙しそうですが日本では最近噂を聞かないので寂しいところです。１３歳でのデビューは衝撃でした。デュプレと並ぶくらいのソリストになるのかと楽しみにしております。

[@91748kevin]

Love the emotion on her face as she plays its so touching

[@Ravenelvenlady]

A lovely piece so tenderly, beautifully played. I thank Ms. Chang for introducing me to this piece-, and you dear uploader, for sharing.

[@UltimateC2020]

One of the hardest things i've experienced in my playing is showing confidence when playing a solo piece in front of a crowd, you Kind of have to trick yourself into thinking you're flawless and that you won't mess up, and absorb yourself into the piece so that you're no longer aware of the crowd watching you, you're only aware of the sound of the piece and how you want to play it. Also, the thing she does in the piece is called an Artificial Harmonic.

[@raphel5576]

What is an artificial harmonic?

[@kijoosong2478]

@@raphel5576it’s when u place a finger on the note u want to make an artificial harmonic with, and then gently touch the string with a second finger using a perfect fourth interval between the two

@Mormodes She's just transported. This is how I feel sometimes when I play, I kind of lose myself and let the music guide me instead of the other way around. Of course, she floats in her own fantasies while playing this beautiful music.

[@albierte]

A music that touches my heart.

[@pikachoi2007]

I would say that this performance is one amazing performance.

[@zasesdea]

[@GlobetrottingMusicologist]

I adore the sounds that Han-Na makes... I fell in love with her debut recording years ago, an album with Fauré, Tchaikovsky, Bruch, etc. Quite remarkable!

[@JupiterAdept]

@DonTruman Yes, it's a harmonic. You press down the string with your thumb (most practical), and lightly touch another finger, usually the ring finger on a harmonic above the thumbnote. The most practical harmonic is a major third above (physically below) your thumbnote, it's close and rings kinda well (though not very well). You will hear the note your ring finger is on, but two octaves higher than when it's pressed down.

[@nutritionalresearch]

yes, this is. This piece is technically titled, "Variations on One String," and as you can see the A string. Han Na Chang is just brilliant.

[@김석규-e9t]

Gorgeous !!!

[@xxjeanne6294]

when my mom was in college, she taught han na chang. she was probably in 1st or 2nd grade at the time. :)

[@lintangswar]

i love how she use to made an eye contact with us and another musicians at some moment😄

[@unagondolaunremo]

she likes to play this music, and this is so important!

[@marklapolla4347]

Brava!

[@DonTruman]

@RwithFlem I'm going to take a guess at it, based on some Googling: It's similar to the squeaks heard from beginners (not good) but in this instance it's controlled by a pro. As seen in the video, her fingers are at two points on the string. That fits with what I read: if another finger is barely touching a string being played, it "squeaks." I'll guess that the higher finger is fully pressing down on the string, and the lower finger is barely touching it, an octave lower.

[@MrFpam]

@Bigbug123456 What a silly superficial comment! Navarra was a great cellist, but Han Na CHang is also a very fine and very musical cellist with splendid technique. There are plenty of fast virtuosic passages which she plays brilliantly!

[@zaokoyechatma]

ME TO HOPE TO MEET HER SOME DAY!

[@nyahonyahotamaklo8291]

be frustrated with one's camera work I can't see her left hand at the crucial moment. But her performance is amazing.

[@gksdnfl000]

@cello155!! really?!?! awesome! awesome! LoL= How was the experience? awesome!

[@mnmlistcellist]

this inspires me to practice my artificial harmonics! . . . ^_^

[@justincase2293]

correct... theres specific positions on the fingerboard that you put one finger.. then with the other finger you play 2 octaves higher. those are difficult. the ones shes doing are just lightly pressing the string in various places to produce a flute-like sound an octave higher than what the normal note is. its pretty simple actually. once you learn the positions. Vibrato is much more difficult, though, in the harmonic positions

[@PP-wp2bx]

If Hannah Chang continued with her cello career, she would have become a legend in the classical world. I don't know why she couldn't at least pursue both cello and conducting. Would have been nice if she had more "responsibility" for the talent that was given to her.

[@bobkopen6468]

Next to the playing - the dress is not in the least provocative! Especially the harmonics (eg. 1:40 - 2:05 and 7:00 - 7:25) - now that is what I call provocative - Han-na sends me. I guess I have to admit that the dress is provocative at 7:25 but in that case, I think it fits the performance - WOW!

[@jerdeb4evr]

@vegetablet There is a difference between arrogance, and confidence. She plays with the confidence of one that is accompaning her soul.

[@pikachoi2007]

yeah, very neat glissondos

[@김영주-q2y7d]

숨 넘어가요

[@bobkopen6468]

I went and listened to Navarra's interpretation and, while faster, I didn't find it "more natural." Chang's interpretation is more musical and moving to me. Navarra's version seemed to almost focus on speed and was scratchy compared to Chang's - maybe due to when it was recorded. It is a delightful piece of cello music in any case.

[@lj0002468]

This song is cool does anybody know where to find this song on the internet it is so cool please tell me

[@sarahkim7800]

so.. the original music was composed by Paganini, but Rossini added variations to it? I am confused.

[@sarahkim7800]

+sarah kim And can another composer just add on to someone else's?

[@louisrizzo4102]

+sarah kim the practice is quite common. It's usually in homage to the original composer. Since there were no copyright laws at that time, there's nothing preventing other composers from making variations on that theme. Many composers "original" melodies come from ancient and folk tunes, anyways. A lot of compositional borrowing goes on.

[@stilltuning]

The original theme was from Rossini's "Moses in Egypt." Paganini later took that theme and extrapolated it into several different themes that he compiled into this piece.

[@eungoolee6653]

sarah kim rossini composed the actual piece then paganini did the variations.

[@zdc4798]

HERMOSO ♥

[@DonTruman]

To you cellists out there, help me understand how she plays those really high notes at 5:50 and 6:09. I can see her playing the high string a lot, and the tone is nowhere near that high. But somehow it's possible to make that same string a super-high tone? How?

[@zaokoyechatma]

hell yes

[@Bautisnemo]

The orchestra is composed by the musicians of the Berliner Philarmoniker , I can recognise at least the viola player which is the first viola in the orchestra.

[@pikachoi2007]
