Mozart Concerto No. 19 in F (K459) Mv. 1, by Charlie (8)

Very Nice !! sprightly, clean and clear!!!

I have to say I prefer Charlie's version. He simply has amazing control of the keyboard, wonderful sound, excellent direction of the music line and exquisite phrasing - everything that is so difficult to achieve came together so beautifully. Very secure playing and mature interpretation for any age!!

Thanks! I certainly agree with you. I think those who thumbed up the previous post probably mixed up 7 yo Tiffany Koo with 10 yo Tiffany Poon, who's a great talent and who played K459 very very nicely. Tiffany Koo is a great talent too, but there's no way her current version betters Charlie's. But, one day she just might ...

Charlie is good however his play is not musical and powerful. I like the same play by Tiffany Koo, a 7 years old gril with amazing talent and musical sense. Good luck....

Sorry about the multiple comments, but the semifinal round was on Saturday, wasn't it? How did it go?

[coffeetea]

hehe, you're certainly on top of NJ competitions. Nobody other than pianists & judges are allowed inside. Charlie's accompanist said he was awesome and had a fantastic cadenza (he definitely improved over the last month too). The judges said "thank you very very much" then asked him some questions, I don't know if it's routine. We're waiting on results too. But again, it's under-18 category, so we're prepared for getting nothing.

BTW, thanks much for your comments!

Bravo!!!

I really enjoy listening to Charlie perform this concerto! I think I've listened to this video about 30 times already... Also, I like the fact that you annotated the video to describe what Charlie's doing, since with 2 pianos it can be a little confusing unless you're super-familiar with the concerto.

Wonderful!

Eccellente********

Charlie plays this concerto beautifully! It's possible that he was not awarded the prize just because he is so young and will have many other opportunities to compete. I'm curious about the age of the winner to see if my theory holds out. In any case, competitions are not really an accurate measure of talent. I just finished judging at the Houston Music Teachers Association Piano Contest, and sometimes there was disagreement among the judging committee. Charlie is wonderful! Congratulations!!

PS: Good luck with the competition!

[LarsenPiano]

Excellent Charlie! You have a wonderful sense of the music and your technique is really clean. Lovely.

Magnificent!! Mozart is never easy, and this Concerto is extremely difficult for an adult. I wonder sometimes how Charlie manages to cover such territory with those small hands, but he always does, and with total perfection.

I believe he's going to absolutely slay this competition, and I do hope we get to see it happen. :-)

[pianoOBBSESED]

This is beautiful and mature playing!!!!!!!!!!! I want to hear more concertos.
