Excellent.....I am very impressed that you can play this piece at your age. Hopefully, you can be like Lang Lang who played the whole etude at 13 years old......
Wow, I'm very impressed, this is right up there with the best performances ever of the Double Thirds Etude. I'm off to look for other Chopin etude videos you've posted.
Fantastic performance (as always) by a very pretty and unique Umi in a beautiful pink dress (that's my favourite colour). Umi, you sure do have a very busy life sharing your genius with very appreciative audiences all over the world. Please let us know when the AGT show is going to be available. We (my family - but especially me) wouldn't want to miss it.
these Chopin etudes are all very important and Umi should do them all as soon as possible.... wonderful her use of arm and the contact with the piano. a natural born pianist with all the necessary technique already . Listen to Koczalski s Chopin interpretations!!!!! he studied with a student of chopin and is very close to chopins spirit!!!
Wow well done you're amazing, it's crazy to think you've only being playing for about 6(?) years! Best interpretation I've heard of this piece you could rival professionals Umi :)
@SarahandEmma13 Really? - Cziffra, Pollini - Youth alone does not cut it.....It great because she's young - that's it....I would not listen otherwise...
@hadsell1962 . Well she's obviousley not as technically good as them yet but how could a 10 year old with small hands be better than someone who's devoted their life to piano for years and years? That's not what I meant, I meant that Umi's interpretation of pieces could rival some professional's. Valentina Lisitsa rushes through this piece in my opinion so I prefer to listen to Umi.
Adorned with your pretty pink dress you offer us again dear Umi a great performance. I suppose you keep a wonderful memory of this beautiful country of Italy. Certainly the landscapes in your dreams will come back often wake up with memories. Bravo.
You are awesome Umi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope when you return from Missouri I can see you.... Will watch the other videos when uploaded :)
Beautiful, Umi! You never cease to impress!!!! I favorited and liked before I even saw it because I knew I'd love it! By the way, did you audition for America's got Talent? I watched it last night and I saw you on the opening theme! You were playing the piano backwards. Please respond! I really want to see you; I started screeching, "That's Umi Garrett!!!" And my family was looking at me like..." Who is Umi Garrett...??"
@UMIPIANO And did you make it through? If you didn't...I will find a way to sock those judges good!!! I mean, seriously, not only playing the piano, but backwards, too?!
What a wonderful talent!I wish you all the best for the future.
