Paganini in your era 🔔 in seriousness, this was wonderful, your playing is very confident and strong, and not only that, but really crisp, especially in those left hand pizz sections. Awesome performance!!

Of all the artists i have seen perform this piece.. This one is by far my favourite interpretation. Exquisite play :)

[@pollyklein]

It means a lot to me!! Thank you very much!

[@JEWELJISSON]

This is far most beautiful interpretation of la campanella. It was so beautiful, crisp and clear. Loved especially the opening bars..

[@pollyklein]

Thank you very much!!

Oh my Goodness! Lovely. I'm a 66 year old granny who had always wanted to play violin. I just got my first one. I'm never going to be able to play like you, in the time still allotted to me on this earth. But I'll have fun learning. It truly fills me with joy to see wonderful talent and skill like yours. Blessings to you.

[@BlackFiresong]

Good luck to you on your journey! ❤️

[@pollyklein]

as a classical trumpeter I don’t know much but I know that for violin high notes r hard to play in tune well done

[@pollyklein]

Thank you!

[@collectorofcats294]

Very well done!!! You are definitely a LingLing disciple and your 40 hours of practice have placed you amongst the Violin Gang Gods. I’m in the piano gang and I was just familiar with the Listz version for piano. I have to give props to BlackPink (gag) for making me aware of Paganini’s Violin Concerto No 2 Opus 7, even if their version was only two measures repeated on a loop. I hope to see more videos of you!!! Thank you for a beautiful performance!!!

[@pollyklein]

[@thecatofnineswords]

Oh my, i do think this is one of the nicest rendition of La Campangella I’ve ever heard. (Including a live one) I like your tempo; It allows space and time for crisp articulation - which you nailed. Too many people play it much faster, leading to the notes blurring together and no matter how well played, sound messy. ❤❤❤

I can conclude that this is the greatest La camp violin solo. It is so beautiful and influential as it motivated me spend more time on violin practice. The flashy finger work made my jaw drop. This video made me more determined to improve my finger shifting and bowing technique. If you can do it, I could probably do it one day. Thanks again.
