What is the note for the right hand? My sheet music is confusing and I have a recital in less then a week

[etana1996]

it's awesoooomee!!! a friend of mine actually played this peace when he was like 11 and every time we meet i get awestruck :)))

This performance has much promise but why do you play such bombastic piano levels. A lot more control and variation of dynamic levels would really enhance the performance. But much to commend. Keep the dance section light and almost waltz like - despite the 4/4 timing. After the dance the section is piano - not molto fortissimo! Micheal Giddens Australia

I can learn a John Thompson level three song in a few hours. How many days do you think this would take, working on that scale?

[karaming88]

I really wanna learn this, but I know if I do, it will probably take me three months at least (Filled with MANY many many many hours or practicing and complaining siblings with bleeding ears) to get it as masterpiece-like as this. Awww

[xpingars]

i love 2:45 and onwards!! :D

[ApronGirl123]

for joshtorriero9, I just got the music, and its pretty intense. I'd say its up there with some of the harder, physically and musically, pieces

One of the great pianistic talents on Youtube.

Many young pianists "play" this work but they can't really master it. This young girl has no problem playing this difficult work. And she doesn't cheat: she plays all the notes with incredible ease!

[joshtorriero9]

Can someone pleasegive me a brief idea how advanced this piece is? I have no idea.

Thanks

[alias91919]

@joshtorriero9 i think it it's not an impossible piece to play, but to truly master it, it's an incredibly difficult because there are a lot of balancing between the two hands, i remember playing it in 5th grade and that was one of my biggest struggles, i felt like my two hands were gonna be tied in a big knot. lol. also this is not a classical piece. it's contemporary, the song is telling a story about a cat/mouse chase, it's difficult for a kid to paint the picture musically.

[lizlops007]

OMG!! That was sooo good!

[yourforte]

Sounds good

[transparentjello]

she plays awesome...looks abit too mousy

[qays1991]

It's always cool to see a kid play a hard piece so well.. :)

[Norskysweeta]

This is fantastic! Your trechnique and emotion is superb. I really enjoyed watching this. I can totally visualize the actions of the cat and the mouse. :) I'm in the process of learning it.  It's a difficult but fun piece.

Nice job!

[lovecatcandy]

Dang, you play well.

This was an extremely hard piece...

(It was a strain when I played it at age 9 my fingers weren't that big)

[YouVRay]

nice =)

[fishfishh]

perfect interpretation! I love it ^ ^

[ingridinha28]

omg , this girl plays perfectly ,it´s almost impossible to believe ! congratulations

[popertop]

wow.

I liked how on some parts your hands seemed to mimic a cat's paws going after the mouse.

Very nice.

[calligrapen09]

[calligrapen09]

[Banana9312]

I'm trying to learn this piece right now. You play it wonderfully. =)
