    my cello students and I watched this video, silently, couldn't get our eyes off of the screen, we cried, you sir gave us all a new perspective to cello playing, we don't know you, but we connected with you, the dedication you have is clear, maybe because we are Cellists it's even more touching to us because we know what you went through to reach this place.
    It's unfair that you don't have millions of subscribers and views.
    Love and respect from Amman - Jordan

    • @fnedits6909
      @fnedits6909 2 года назад

      @@timothy.hopkins_cellist Ah I see, though I did notice you started on the original octave but moved down an octave on the G. I’ve got a question, I’m trying to explore new repertoire to play and I was wondering if you thought it would be possible to play Tchaikovsky violin concerto on the cello?

    • @timothy.hopkins_cellist
      @timothy.hopkins_cellist  2 года назад

      If you put enough work in, anything should be possible somehow. The question is does it make sense. I think this Saint-Saens can sound great on the cello (even though it was a real challenge). But I think there are some pieces that are dedicated to one instrument exclusively. E.g. I have heard fantastic performances of cello suites on the double bass. However, I could not imagine a bass player performing the Dvorak concerto. See my point?
