I used this video almost a decade ago as a reference when I had to learn this piece in high school. This is by far the best version of Gitano I've ever found.
she seems so happy at the end that is what this is all about after so much practice, to perform, and at the end to immediately look back and feel that it was perfect to feel like someone really listened to you and that what you performed is worth listening to
In japan or asia in general music critics are really strict and it's mostly only friends or family that claps if the peice isn't extra ordinary with no faults and such..
Excellent - never heard this on marimba before, but played so brilliantly, it is a real treat, visually as well as audibly. Arigato - thanks for sharing.
There won't be any legal sheet music for free. What do you think composers live from if they give away their music for free? And especially marimba music doesn't have that many potential customers. We should stop wanting everything for free. If you want something for free, it's paid by someone else which is in this case: the composer itself.
@@benwilcox1192 I’m just learning this piece !! I hope she did good because I’m so scared but this piece has been a dream for me to learn since 8th grade😂
I am a freshermen in high school, and I am playing this as my first solo this year. My teacher wants me to do a more difficult one in like two months and I am not even sure I can do this
I heard your music! Your'e the best musician in Japan. I never Japan,but I like your mountains and rivers view with RU-vid and TV. It's very beautiful scenery. I think so. but your music is more beautiful than that anyone else. I will meet you in this screen or others when I need good music. Thanks a lot and thanks again. from Seoul. fin.
Excelent performance. Her body is also making music, and resulting sound flows like it should. Only audio recording could do more justice to this performance.
1:46 curious that she uses her thumb to lock the octave in the right hand. I've always been told that was a bad practice when it comes to Stevens grip but I suppose it does help hold that octave in place for so long.
***** you will put extra stress on your hand and you will hurt yourself in the long run. I guess its only better if you want to play marimba for a few months and never touch it ever again. If you really want to play do it the right way
OfficialAltitude She is using the traditional cross grip (not to be confused with Burton grip), which operates differently from Stevens. Spreading the hand out and locking the octave is one of the strong points of cross grips, and is very easily done. There is a lot less stress with this than you would find playing Stevens. You can get more info about different 4 mallet grips from Vic Firth, Percussive Arts Society, and similar resources.
+Noah Angott At the grip i use, its hard to reach octave, and i use the same method as she. If i don't my hand will hurt a lot... I really need to change the grip...
sparklesintime You make one comment about this amazing performance, and you choose to make a racist comment on her appearance, something that wasn't the focus of this video.
mother of god, no. the most overplayed thing ever. Check out these: Motion beyond - mark ford October night - michael burritt Rhythm song-Paul Smadbeck 4 Rotations- Eric sammut (espescially I and IV) From my little island- Aldridge preludes-Ney Rosauro Rhytmic caprice- stevens Chameleon- Eric sammut Just to name a few amazing marimba standards
You know, one of the common mistakes is playing the begining too fast, and then going to slow on the triplets. So When I started this I though, heh, silly mistake. I was wrong.
