This is just unbelievable. We've seen plenty of pianists and violinists of this age play similarly well on their instruments but I would not have believed it possible on such a physically demanding instrument as the classical guitar. The subtle musical control is astonishing as well as the marvelous technique.
The piece is difficult and at many moments we can actually hear she struggles with it, it's still a big achievement for her age but this performance shows the piece is probably just too difficult for her age, but I guess in a couple of years that won't be a problem any longer.
This is unbelievable!! It's not just the technical precision of execution, but her sensitivity and tonality is unsurpassed by pretty much any other performer-at any age!!!! Bravo! I felt like standing up at the end!
Ppl like me dont really memorize the piece, they just learn how to play by playing through it over and over again and meanwhile they develop muscle memory. It becomes very natural
@@Zyxusum As a musician, I know what you mean. Some people memorize the written notes in sequence, where others 'remember the feeling' of playing the music. Both are forms of memorization, one is more technical, the other is more intuitive... :)
Sensitive, brilliant, mature playing that would seem to be years ahead of her age. Watching the serenity and concentration on her face shows a level of awareness of the piece usually seen in only the greatest masters of their arts.
This is quite amazing for Cynthia play a classical piece on a classical guitar. The strings are softer to the fingers but have a wider separation than electric guitars--makes it a challenge playing with smaller hands at age 8. Well done, Xinyan.
Wow so beautifully performed. She really did live the music . I don’t know if was the piece or her but she seemed to really breath the music as it developed. It seemed so fluid as the piece progressed
This little girl plays like an adult ! And mentally understands the passion it takes to put it together ! Holy smokies just think where she'll be in 10 years .
Guitar aficonadas & Non-guitar aficianoados alike, know this - you have, without the faintest doubt, witnessed THE MOST PHENOMENAL guitar event that has ever graced the human stage. . .not merely surreal speed, facility & clarity - but also the most superbly sophisticated musical intelligence in one so young. This is not merely an achievement - this is a genuine miracle.
One of the most difficult music for guitar. Many need the same years of practice of her age. This is one of the pieces request for get the Diploma. About five years. Very very good.
No way... 😂👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹 Speechless! Xinyan Sun... 8 years!? The near-perfect precision in the fluidity between notes is unbelievable. The comment before mine is absolutely right in mentioning the physical demands of the classical guitar, and a Paganini... Okay young lady, thanks for existing. You take discipline and talent to another level. Best regards from Brazil and the World is proud of you, trust me. 👏👏.
impresionante, su musicalidad su precisión en los armónicos octavados... todo... y la fuerza que tiene en los dedos y la resistencia y concentración para una pieza tan larga.
Fanstastic and downright unbelievable. Lightly, pure tones, dynamics, virtuoso, famous...💗💗 Good luck and beautiful tones in the coming years. Xinyan 💕
The guitar is such a challenging instrument and she is playing so well. She must have started learning this piece a few years ago, about 5 years of age? 😱 Wow, she has quite a future😇 ahead.
Amazing talent. It is hard to make kid at that age get interested in this kind of music, especially if she lives in America with pop culture dominating. She must have a very special parents and teacher.
@@goshu7009 No, you can't say "What? LOL?", because you people living in Asia have conservatively adopted western music of the past, with a lot less exposure of various modern pop cultures. Europe is different, it is their tradition to pass on the culture from one generation to the next. They are very dedicated in preserving it. You shouldn't say the west is behind in culture and civilization, because that's an arrogantly ignorant statement. The west is not behind, it is just more diverse. There are more diversities in musical development in the west than in the east. Kids in the west, are more exposed to modern electronic music, therefore, as I said, it is more difficult to get them interested in period/classical music. Their tastes are different. My comment is related to the girl performing at Siccas media, I assume in the US. If so, she would have been a local and exposed to the condition I mentioned. While your reaction is more related to Asian kids in Asia, or probably in just your country.
@@goshu7009 , I had classical guitar and piano lessons as a kid and when I got about 16 years old I got more interested in jazz, which i studied at the conservatory. I do not feel it made me any smarter or more organised then people who did not study music at all. Often the opposite is true. It is nice if you can make music at such level being a kid, and it is pretty demanding at times, but it does not say anything about how you will do later in life. Many of those young talented kids playing at such level quit making music when they get into there puberty. And they can be just as disorganised and dumb as other people sometimes are.
@@Andreorsel Can i ask where did you study Piano and Guitar? Because if its in France or in England..... you just prove my point. I guess the education system sux where you are. I confirm my words - Classical Music Harmonize you, your body, your brain and makes you more stable person, more organized as individual and its more discipline then being a Soldier. I guess our system is completly different from yours. When i was 10 years - We already knew the Intervals, including 50% of the things from Solfej. At 14 years old we started to Harmonia and Composing music for beginners. What you say is wrong. If Music makes you like you explain, that means you your teachers or your schools just suxs.
@@goshu7009, I knew all the intervals already when I was about 9 years old, and could hear all of them (solfège) about 11. But this does not mean anything, it's just a learning thing. And, if you are interested enough, will be fairly easy to do at a young age. I did not say classical music does not harmonize your body and brain; It does to me! But that does not mean persé that studying/playing classical music as as a young kid, having all the talent etc.., will definitely help you later in life. It could, but this depends loooot's of other factors. There are a lot of people, not playing music at all, that are very organised, intelligent and in harmony with life itself. And there are also very good (classical) musicians that are not happy at all, suffering from anxiety etc... But to be clear, I also believe good classical music education at a young age is a good thing. But it is not guaranteed this will help you later on in life. I am from The Netherlands btw.
I'm so impress with this girl that with my 20 years of experience still can't come close to her ability. Could have start playing early age like her. Amazing! 😊
WOW! I've been playing classical guitar for decades, and here comes this young girl who plays some of the most difficult stuff in the guitar repertoire seemingly effortlessly. She's already easily 20 times better than I am. It's amazing how she could develop all those playing techniques, musicality and artistry so quickly--and with such dainty hands at that! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
Staggering virtuosity from an eight-yr-old...? Nearly every person who has played guitar for three times as long as she has been alive could not hope to even approach her phenomenal ability and talent. Mind-officially-BLOWN!
No hay que confundir talento musical con inteligencia musical . Esta niña nació talentosa pero le ha costado horas de horas de practica para desarrollar la inteligencia musical en la ejecución e interpretación que tiene ahora, y eso la hace prodigio ya que en tan poco tiempo toca como un guitarrista bueno adulto, mientras que otros niños nacen talentosos pero no han logrado ser músicos profesionales por varios motivos u obstaculos que les ha truncado su carrera. así que talento nace, inteligencia se hace.
Nigdy w życiu nie widziałem gry ośmiolatki na tak wybitnym poziomie - "myslę że nikt nie widział". To wykonanie Cynthii jest jakby z innego wymiaru nieosiągalnego przez 100% gitarzystów. Patrzę, słucham i nie mogę uwierzyć co widzę i słyszę. DOSKONAŁA PERFEKCJA :))) Czapki z głów Panie i Panowie. GRATULUJĘ i Pozdrawiam :)))
Even though my cousin worked for Taylor guitars for about 35 years until retirement (he was one of Bob Taylor's very first employees and did everything in the company) I am sharing this video with him. I think he would be truly impressed! He still makes guitars out of his garage in the San Diego suburbs.
As her hands grow the instrument will feel more and more ergonomic in her grasp. Hopefully, this will make her gift become even better than it already is.
Some says, that she began to play the guitar 30 years before her conception. Olé! Next, Siccas Guitars, now you are at this, get Miu Miu Guitar Girl in too. She has not published her name, but same age China girl, perform on the same level on the guitar, can play other instruments too, as for instance drums and she even sings very nicely.

I play guitar since 9 years and she's better than me 😭 She's just Amazing 👏
I just imagine when she can make her own decisions that she will go straight into punk rock.😅
She has also been playing for 9 years. LOL. Either way she will be better than Celil Refik Kaya and Marcin Dylla in next 9.

I'm literally 10 times her age and have been playing CG since 1961. If I had another 50 years left I still couldn't play anything at her level.

Exceptional outstanding talent ( never seen someone play on this level at this age). Beautiful playing as well.
superb little guitarist angel gives us the most amazing and jaw dropping N. Paganini Caprice No.24 performance,
WOW! so young and she plays the guitar already perfect!!!
Xinyan memorized every note and sequence of Paganini's piece. Astounding!
So talented. I hope she has a lifetime of loving her music and her instrument.
WOW I am blown away
This is quite amazing for Cynthia play a classical piece on a classical guitar. The strings are softer to the fingers but have a wider separation than electric guitars--makes it a challenge playing with smaller hands at age 8. Well done, Xinyan.
This performance reminds me of how much love I have for this instrument and why I fell in love with it in the first place. Thank you for the upload
Absolutely incredible!!! I wonder what her practice schedule looks like to be so talented at such a young age.
I had never seen a child prodigy this girl is amazing.
God given talent.
If "god" gave talent, more people would have it. This is evolution and human inginuity on show.
Incredible. She is really good. Anyone who has ever played the guitar knows that what she's done here is extremely difficult. Congratulations 👏🏽
Wow so beautifully performed. She really did live the music . I don’t know if was the piece or her but she seemed to really breath the music as it developed. It seemed so fluid as the piece progressed
