Personally, I am not sure that I would be able to master the violin and get such great reviews had I not been able to hear what I was playing. This girl, although she never once heard a violin being played, possessed extreme passion for this instrument, mostly was seemed to be from watching the elderly street performer play. The passion she has may or may not have made that instrument sound, but it surely caused the crowd to in awe of her ability.
The elderly man states that "music is visual"; while this is true, music is not entirely visual. Visualizations make a up a large part of the music experience, but most people gain the most extreme of musical effects from simply listening to it alone in their room or on their way to work in their car, all while seeing nothing having to do with music. While this is indeed a shampoo commercial, looks are supposed to be the pillar theme, so most likely this girl, with her perfectly washed hair, most likely was not actually playing the violin but was rather visualizing her passion for the audience. Although a few things such as the applause and the look on the other girl's face may argue against this, playing a violin that has been taped back together simply isn't possible.
Yes, I agree that music is not completely visual. And if it is, why does the godfather-music-mentor-man tell her to close her eyes? Doesn't that prevent seeing? Or is the seeing of music metaphorical? Is this logical?
