Paganini: Caprice No. 24 | Nicholas Wong, cello 

I’m just mesmerized watching him play

Fantastic!!! Nicholas, is so well spoken and funny. Loved everything about this performance, which was written for a tiny violin with an EACG string set. A cello has an ADGC string set, similar to the viola. His bow arm must have ached for an hour after this. Bowing is so important in the technique of a stringed instrument that people often overlook it due to the precise fingering requirements (which are incredibly important in all pieces as well). My favorite part was the plucking and bowing switch off variation. (I don’t know Paginni’s 24th Caprice by musical notation as it is beyond my skill level). On a violin, that’s so intensive with the bow one note, then pizzicato the next and then bow the next and so forth. On a cello, I cannot imagine how much finger strength that took to pluck hard and fast enough to produce an audible note, then just as fast bow the next…. It makes my brain boggle. Anyway, TL;dr - You are awesome, Nick! Bravissimo!

This young man is just brilliant.

Those HARMONICS 🤯 the entire performance was breathtaking
