Probably about 300 of these views are me. I absolutely love the way Yura Lee plays this song. She is so expressive and plays perfectly. I play the viola as well, and aspire to be as good as her one day.

[@daniel3231995]

This was the first I heard of the sonata and coming back after hearing many versions, Yura's is great in that it's not overdone, balanced and just right.

ReadingRealist no matter how many times u watch it u only give it one view

[@kipking2171]

This Schubert has been recorded by both cello and viola. The viola is clearer and more expressive. Often cello is richer musically, however for the arpeggione viola has a better match to the musical intent.

[@maclee5381]

It's not really a song, but since it's Schubert it might as well be one.

[@Niko-zf5ml]

It's a piece, not a song

[@nickyork8901]

Beautiful playing, every note is considered and makes sense. She deserves to be much better known - a great musician.

[@paulg4920]

Nick, Helen York She is pretty well known already... GREAT performance!

[@chanandlerbong0606]

Don’t want to be rude, but it’s not a song, because nobody is singing, you should refer to it as a piece or sonata. BTW Funny comment 🤣, excuse my english it is not my language.

[@wandagalaxy1935]

[@catherinetypist2371]

Playing this piece for my viola ATCL (diploma) this Autumn - it's such a technically demanding piece, and this is a beautiful rendition of it in my opinion.

[@ashbehenel2466]

The sound of a viola is so deep ! It drives me crazy...

[@bassionbean]

lol double bass

[@elsa4180]

right

[@heylol9961]

Well I guess compared to the violin it’s deep but i like it orchestra wise because it’s in the middle range so it ties everything together

[@wandagalaxy1935]

[@xOALtoFrEak900Ox]

I love the rich crisp tone of the viola.

[@0ClaudioPin0]

Beautiful, Yura. Love your body language, you sing with your instrument. Just beautiful.

[@chemprofmatt]

This performance ranks among the most beautiful examples of viola playing that I have had the pleasure to hear. Each phrase is constructed with such care and insight. Your bow technique is highly original and succeeds in pulling a beautiful sound out of the instrument. I look forward to hearing your future recordings!

[@Violascry]

This is how the Arpeggione Sonata should be played - not fast, rough and aggressive like some of the other versions I've heard! Beautiful!!! :-D

2003년 11월 21일 서울 금호아트센터에서 안미현님의 반주로 브람스 소나타 3번, 타르티니의 악마의 트릴, 프로코피예프의 소나타 1번을 들었습니다. 당시엔 10대 소녀였는데 말이지요. 그 사이 핑커스 주커만처럼 바이올린과 비올라를 같이 연주하는 연주자가 되셨군요. 앞으로도 좋은 연주로 많은 사람을 감동시키는 음악가로 활발히 활동해 주시기를 기대합니다.

[@Borthralla]

Perfect bow control, amazing

[@n1v3x6]

You call that slanted bow perfect bow control? o.0

[@terryjones573]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that. I don’t think I’ve ever seen control like that.

[@terryjones573]

N1v3x There is definitely some use for an intentionally slanted bow.

There’s an indescribable quality that makes an exquisite violist.. this young woman certainly has it! Bravo!

[@iCyclone]

Wow-- really, really awesome playing. Just a top-notch performance-- technically and musically. Nice job.

[@artistannesaucier]

I was blown away !What an exciting piece of music! Yura Lee is magnificent!

[@harryandruschak2843]

+Anne Charette It is indeed an exciting piece of music, and perhaps the only reason anyone hears of that instrument called an Arpeggione, basically a large bowed guitar, with frets and sympathetic strings. This sonata has actually been recorded with a genuine Arpeggione, demonstrating why the instrument flopped. A thin, nasal tone, with intonation problems in the higher registers. It has been transcribed for a variety of modern instrument, especially the Clarinet and Cello. Frankly, I think the Viola is the perfect instrument for this sonata, as this performance shows.

[@edwardhoward5525]

Would love to hear it on the bassoon. It offer a combination of the amiability of sound with the required range.

[@Nah22132]

Wow fantastic!!! I'm leaning viola now. I want to be like her! I'm proud that she is Korean same with me.

[@27greenmonkey]

So musical and beautiful! Love that tone! Heard some phrasings that I hadn't thought of and will try in the future. And you're technique is pretty flawless too! Fantastic performance!

[@violadude]

wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful tone, vibrato and fantastic bow control! Loved it!

[@brianhealey5286]

Wonderful...as good as Perenyi (Cello) and Schiff...filled with emotion and passion by both artists.

[@jrbmontreal]

I used to play the viola but gave it up (I focussed on flute, then left music altogether), but I still have a love for it, and hearing such a great ambassador for this underrated instrument makes me proud. Bravo, Yura Lee!

[@eccehomo9990]

It’s just beautiful ❤ Schubert is superb, and this two women plays like angels

[@iCyclone]

Really great playing-- really solid. Stylistically, I feel it's dead-on-- walks that line between High Classical and Romantic.

[@philliplove9699]

My favourite performance of this fantastic work . The violist is superb and the pianist so talented. I loved it all and will now perform it again after a 50 year gap....!! Thank you both!

洋阿相 暖かい音色と丁寧な音楽つくりにこの美しい名作に堪能。チェロでのヨーヨー・マやマイスキー等の個性的で強烈な演奏も存在価値の高いものでしょうが、この曲の持っているアットホームな親近感はLee女史の演奏に私は共感を覚えます。先日コダーイのセレナードの秀演に感動しハングルの知識がないものでようやっとこの名演を探し当てました。多分同一演奏者であると思います。有難う。ただ、伴奏者との音楽観に差を感じました。特に第1楽章では。

[@devil2005iscool]

I love how the pianist responds to the violin. There are so many ridged players out there who just play the notes. It's all about the collusion of music and players which makes a piece play beautifully and they did so here.
