I love this song. I first heard it on an Amy Grant Christmas CD, and then I heard Yo-Yo Ma's version of it and I was hooked. It's a very emotional piece of music and I would love to play it someday. Great job.
I love this piece of art and you play it really well. What techniques and positions do you need to learn to play this beautiful piece? I haven't learned second and third position yet. Can you play it without them or will it be much harder then?
Hi Carter! Thank you. :) You could probably find this piece in a different key (a lower key) so that you wouldn't have to shift up so high. You can look into SheetMusicPlus or one of those sites to see if you can find an arrangement that will work for your skill level. Good luck - hope you are able to find one!
In my opinion, supplement your present knowledge and ability now by pushing yourself and gradually assimilate your skills to be able to play this in this key . Just hearing this piece made me push my motivation to go to the upper positions. Plus watching her play this with the bow patterns really help. Take it one to two , etc, measures at a time.
@@erikasdaddy51690 I wanted to do that anyway, I already practice daily and now I've got a new goal to get to. I'll play this one day and if it takes me a while, it's okay. The way is important too and I'm already so excited to learn the second and third position and to learn the shift not only from first to fourth position but to all first four ones. From first to second, from second to fourth and so on ☺️
I like that arrangement. I've learned the part by ear, listening to YoYo Ma's recording, but would like to obtain the arrangement for cello and piano. Where may I obtain it?
Hi Mark- I purchased a violin part and transposed it down an octave. I often purchase from SheetMusicPlus or MusicNotes. Both have inexpensive parts for purchase.
so beautiful! thank you
Oh my! this is so beautiful it's making me cry!
i love your instrument...
I’m impressed, it’s lovely …
