you just have to go and listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCLxso5XDN4. i totally envy sarah chang!!! this mendellsohn piece is fantastic...but without supreme technique you can't play. i've listen to sarah chang, hilary hahn and anne akiko meyers recording. erm, comparison? don't ask me, each has their own unique parts. Mendelssohn Violin Concerto Movement 1 Allegro, molto appassionato, i totally fall in love with this song when i heard in mep class this week...rocks!!
