[nixlord010]

weres the LOVE button

[RedRosesLast4eva]

Man, I've learned some of the beinging of this song and it's a kinda tough trying play it slowly and smoothly at the same time. You make it look like a tropical breeze...

[TMSVioloncellist]

Beautiful.

[hwilko]

Excellent Talent ! Well done!!

[HookedOnBach]

well done!!!

[bootyshakevip]

I like playing that piece but i play the triola's less hard :)



[ForbiddenRose91]

you're really good, but what I miss in your work is the expression...hm it's not perfect but very good. and perfection is boring so that's a compliment! :-)

[Gruuvin1]

NICE!

[igorkelner]

I love it .. Good Job man , u are THE bethoven .

[raaabyn]

beautiful

[memorabilia08]

you're soo good!keep it up!=]

[ShinobiKasumi]

[bobobobobob93]

uhm, do you like memorize everything you see?

[jimbreizh]

quelle culture musical nous avons en "europe" !!!

magnifique!!!

[Synd3r3lla1]

FANTASTIC..!! Flawless in my ears. I Love how you seem to be sleeping as your playing. It's wonderful, keep it up.!

[stephjuhler999]

Simply wonderful! Great job!

[yanelpapi]

this videos cant be down

[villainmack]

good job, but you have to give more attention to cresentos sometimes

[quadrant2005]

Thank you Simon for sharing your talent with us. regards Richard

[rubidium131990]

feeling this huh, no homo but you show excellent emotion of what the music should be making you feel. props my friend.

[eliiseca]

it looks like you are in a trans, and i love that, you look soo peaceful, you make it look sooo easy, ! damn you! lol, no, not really ;) i love the way you play !!how long have you bin playing the piano?!

keep it up! ;)

[1songster1]

wonderful! You can have all the tuxedos and the concert halls, but it comes down to talent, practice and heart! BRAVO!

[wukillah]

and btw, missing that note at 5:18 must have been very frustrating ;)

[wukillah]

I really like how you play with the tempo, very original, that makes this interpretation very personal. I just think you play it too loud.

And the way you play the third mvt is totally amazing, almost professional quality... sincerly you could make concerts... I simply know from experience that it is waaay easier to play alone in a little room than in front of a public!

bravo

[dgareea31swtg]

...damning with faint praise.

[chingvang559]

do you know Yoshiki?

[bras07]

masterpeace, masterwork.....

[v4rmru17]

I know many musicians who are masters at their instrument. Ladies and gentlemen, what you see and hear here is beyond mastery. Its excellence. My dear mother plays the first part of moonlight sonata with excellence, unfortunately cannot play the entire piece.

[Poopscoop4]

This guy appears to be some sort of savant! He's AMAZING, listen to his rendition of the 3rd movement of Quasi Fanasia! He's playing Flawlessly, yet appears to be half asleep and looks as though he is the offspring of Tommy Lee and Kramer from Seinfeld! Amazing job bro on all 3 movements.

[ballm0use]

poopscooper lmao

[digimonkey2377]

oh my god your sleep playing!! :o

[cottonwool79]

I love the Moonlight a lot++ and I love the way you play a lot too coz you're feeling the piece and you guide us all to feel it too! Thank you!

[joshiik]

deng, ur really good.

i forgot this was a homemade vid

[vai280194]

you feel the music, man ......i can't be like that ... and i dont think your gay :| is it only bad mouth? i'm not saying that's a bad thing, i'll love your music even your gay or not ^.^

[Rachturne]

Great job, just a tab but long. You stretched out the first page by 10 seconds or so... couple missed crescendos and what not but still, damn good.

[jackhicksisc]

I'd like to see you do better.

[Rachturne]

ok meet u at Fields pianos 12121 West pico, la, ca 90064

[elfzilla]

You make it look so effortless when you play, as though playing piano is just as natural as breathing.

I want to cry when I watch/hear you play. It's so beautiful that it makes my heart swell.

[Darkboy2525]

a wonderfull piece ...

[chriswaynebrissey]

very good this a very sad song but very touching good job

[fgbeeren]

perfecto!!!!

[carm4765]

PERFECT!

And whats with the "gay" thing? Did Beethoven state that if your gay, you can't play the piece? What if Beethoven was gay? Would it mean only a gay person could play it?

What a stupid remark. What does sexual orientation have to do with this piece?

Who cares what he is. BTW, it's 2009, when will people get over the sexual bullshit and idiotic comments.

[Judg3m3nt]

the year has nothing to do with it, everyone believes in different things and humans being a selfish entity, they will inevitably disagree and fight over something, or everything forever. I personally dont believe being gay is morally right, but Im not violent about it, but neither will I sit quietly by and watch it. Gays argue their side openly and I see no problem with the other side voicing theirs. Btw, maybe some people post just to get a reaction like yours.

[ParadoxLC]

lol what does being gay have to do with morals?

[Judg3m3nt]

Its about morals because depending on your viewpoint, its just wrong. I dont understand how you have yet to encounter someone who finds it morally wrong. You are going against nature, even actors who think its alright would jokingly use the term "the love that must not be named". Please though, dont tell me that its genetic, all research towards that has provided no evidence and actually suggests nurture over nature. If it isnt genetic, than its a choice and your morals help you decide.

[ParadoxLC]

It goes against nature? So you're saying that it's immoral in the same sense that cutting down trees or polluting the environment is immoral?

[Bandicootie]

Polluting the nevironment and cutting down trees are immoral, both hurt other people. You are lowering our enironmnets ability to create oxygen and you are destroying the oxygen and other natural resource for other people and animals. It is a different kind of immorality though. Homosexuality is a perversion of lust and many recent studies show that the homosexual tendancies in men come from bad experiences as children which warp their psyche. I would classify it maybe with adultery, or cheating

[sclyfes1212]

i just can't get that heavenly touch on the left hand's B at the beginning. I just can't lol.

[SABOREAME68]

Brilliant, your render of this exquisite melody... furthermore, you ability to not only play the melody, but transmit the true feeling in every strand of one's heart.

[beglat]

¡Que sensibilidad mas exquisita!

[thoseheroineyes]

hauntingly beautiful.

[Theeman32]

do you have a tutorial?

[rudgel]

great piece, i like it

[futurefreakly]

This would be the first classical piece i would like to learn when i get better at piano.

[rudgel]

Try it now, it's beautiful, so you share, and we apreciate, i play it too, some people said i should not but i tried and i'm happy now hihihi

[aandre311]

me too i liked but some times can be depressing while you are trying to learn cause playing it over and over and the first movement its kinda sad.. gosh im going to play it right now i have so much time since i don't.. i hope i still remember the end lol XD

[aandre311]

even if its true ... i see nothing wrong with it.. its not like it is you the one who is gay.. you shouldn't care.. i feel a little jealousy going on.

[halo3face]

what....the....

aandre311 what the fuck is your second comment......?

[aandre311]

this sonata "quasi una fantasia" known as "moonlight" has 3 movements what is interesting about this sonata is that the first movement is the slowest (adagio sostenuto) .. even though normally in a sonata the fist one is played (Allegro).

[Schmerzgott]

mowl

[aandre311]

i see nothing gay with this guy....thats it im defending him lol

[IFreakingEatPeople]

this song makes me sleepy...

[raaabyn]

beautiful...i must have listened this 10 times already tonight...sings to me.

[apple1231230]

: / i dont know what i said that deserved -6 but you mustve got the rong idead, i love this dude and subscribe to him... but watever i was gona say that u should watch his other vids

[Woodwind007]

I can play this one either but not as good at him. From spotting his finger it's real. He play so soft mild calm fully expressed.

[RONALDAMEDINAL]

PERFECTA

[RONALDAMEDINAL]

EXELENTE . PERFECTO

[DougNederland]

Just perfect! Thankyou.

[ls9048]

You can turn off the light when you playing the piano!

[apple1231230]

whats so rong with is9048 im pretty sure he means so itll be mysterious. yuou people are so negatiove

[SpartanElite095]

Awesome. Good song. Always reminds me of Resident Evil.

[biggorm666]

If you look at other videos on his profile this man can play piano the video quality isnt great on some and cant see his fingers that well but this man is genuine

[MEPolaris]

I think you play beautifully. Your other videos as well are fantastic.

[ravendreams176]

Your spelling is a disgrace to Beethoven, you jackoff. Just because he plays gracefully doesn't mean he's not playing.

[wookierocker123]

Your a fucking retard, there's more than one of playing a song, after all a piano has a lot of notes, if he was a fake he wouldn't be playing piano for a career, think before you type something retard.

[losinggrip1993]

Again, you play in my opinion one of the greatest piano pieces ever written, exactly how it should be played. Seriously, well done. That was amazing.

[ITgiirl]

This is my favourite classical song of all time and you play it so well!! It's a really lovely piece. Thank you so much for sharing.

[SwayingTree65]

Very nicely done. You emphasize all the right notes (=touch), which is what brings this piece alive. It took me 20 years before I finally figured that out.

[silversurfer134]

perfect

[squeekee35]

The tempo is fine, if you look at the piece it says to play slowly and soft. And by the way he is a pro, check his website :)

[darkisoangel]

Hey the tempo is fine and volume, take in count that it`s not the original, a piece played by different players will never be the same.

I particulary (sorry my bad english) find this very accurate.

This guy if he`s not a pro he should be one.

[squeekee35]

Killing me softly...OMG I luv u.

[tiphanemoore]

nice interpretation...and no, it's not too slow. gorgeous.

[laurarox01]

What kind of piano is that? I looks nice but rather small which would be perfect for me. Is it just the angle of the camera or is it actually small? I have a keyboard and i want a nice piano but my parents don't want a big bulky one because it would be too hard to get into our house and take up a lot of space we don't have. Thanks if you reply!

[gmarie33]

All I have to say is .... move over Wilhem Kempff. Your truly blessed!

[tigerlilliesbloom]

That was absolutely fantastic thank you so much for posting.

[minerialismo]

demasiado lento.a tempo!!!!

[stinax182]

too slow. and still amazing.

[donalddarko2007]

I love "Moonlight Sonata"

[shaumbadoo]

best interpretation of the first part I have heard here on youtube...

[Kirak122]

I think it's a bit tiring when you listen to it for a longer time... Maybe because you don't have any variation in volume and tempo.

[CiscoNast]

Oh my goodness. That was so intense.

[MarillacAngel]

his interpretation is very good

[LadyKenobiDelacour]

Oh that was the last "pieza" I played before my piano teacher left the city and I stop playing the piano.

[annieliz1965]

You played that beautifully!

[Ricky17Y]

easy in notes

difficult in feelings

[jlawless731841]

this one has always been my favorite, everytime I hear it I always cry. So many emotions are in this to me. Great job.

[moronsnuffer]

Shit interpretation.

[jpenvy9]

Dats one of mah most favorite piano tunes, u got talent mah dude

[camdp05]

despite what these other F'ers say, you have a talent and you should stick with it man, keep it real and keep pushing these videos out.. Tu es tres bien.

[johanncanon02]

of course he is not you dumb...how dare you say that....do you have more musicality than him???....you cannot judge him just because you don't like him...judge on a constructive way...you are impressive my friend...you are my idol

[fordfever08]

you are a fucking bad ass my friend

[socksrawsm9]

I think it's played just a little bit faster than this, though...but not tooo fast

[leila004]

You are awesome this is so great how you can play this I like to hear it everyday.

[samuelMurai]

why don't you play legato in left hand ??? better read notes again

[gmonkey808]

thanks you for posting this. wonderful. also think your 3rd movement was stunning. good for the soul

[SJOAKLEY1]

my sister played this when she was an 8th grade. it reminds me of her. great job!

[teresa6565]

You are one with the piano . . . such perfection! I'm amazed at your talent.

[LBREEN1212]

Wow, so emotional, and deep

[miasdaddy]

speaking of movements you are the shit!!! that was pure perfection made the hairs on my arm stand up i love when music moves me like that i weep at your perfection

[elgee2007]

It's about time someone played this properly on YouTube. I commend anyone for having a go at this piece but this is how it should be played. Well done! Lovely even tempo, great expression and you brought out the melody perfectly. It's a damn sight harder to play properly than people think.

[roo1219]

heyey u dont have facial hair in this....nice tho.... this is really coool that u have all the movements

fryking amazing

[rbrice1981]

C'est très belle musique! J'adore tout la musique de L.V. Beethoven, mais cette chanson est ma favorite bien sûr. J'aspire jouer piano comme ça un jour!

Bravo, c'est magnifique. Et sans notes...Continuez s'il vous plaît.

[OfDaHeeZy84]

Brave tre magnifique. You play with emotion, right tempo, and right pitch.

[Pegocan]

çook güzel çalmışsın gerçekten bravo. bende genco sayesinde keşfettiğim bu eseri. dinliyorum. araştırcam hangi akorlara dayalı çalındığını fln bende çalıcam. koyacam buraya.

[TEOM19]

gercekten cok guzel bır parca gencoda calınca cok hosuma gıttı ayrıca cok basarılısın guzel calıyosun tebrıkler :)

[Pegocan]

bana mı dedin çok güzel çalıyosun die??? banaysa teşekkürler :D ;)

[Starter61]

Excellent performance, slow and romantic, colorful, lots of "feeling" in it. Congratulations !

[bluearse008]

also i dont thnk, or actually you may have been, in the right mood to play this piece,... bieng truly fuked or feeling truly fuked helps to play this piece... try playing when your in such a mood i would listen to it.

[bluearse008]

i must also say that you play it softer than most here on youtube and indeed of most people ive heard play it otherwise, but i must insist delicatnes and infinite patiance while learning to play it delicatly, you have the potential to ply this piece with he quality of the mastersif you put the right effort in.

[bluearse008]

thank you for playing this with slow proper tempo, and almost the feel that i imagine with my mind, JUST gets too hard for me, but very good and i think you you have talent, soften just a bit throughout, you dont have to listen to me but i think it is a delicate piece please soften it. otherwise verrrrrrry good!

[advancewarsaddict]

Exceptional playing of this piece. Technically speaking, the piece isn't too difficult, but to master it is a different story. You are very close to mastering it. You have the tempo perfectly set, and a nice balance between treble, bass, and the melody line. The overall mood of the piece could have been quieter, and I would have liked to see a little bit of mid-measure rubato around 3:30. Nice performance.

[jaul2]

two thumbs up... just waiting for the second, better version of movent 3

[fionasputnik]

This is excellent! And without sheet music!

[darkworld8]

this is how it's meant to sound! ur a genius:-)

[TheKnightWhoSaidNi]

Excellent! Perfect speed on this one, and style.

[SilolMe]

I think your playing of 1st movement is better than kpf ! that's really what i am thinking ! but he plays the 3rd movement is much better than you .

good luck ! boy !

[maryse1392]

T'es vraiment trop bon !! Ça fait full longtemps ke j'essaie de l'apprendre!! Continu t vrmt talentueux!

[dlandr2]

Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

Great control! Flawless from the beginning until the end!

Please, keep posting! You are an amazing pianist!

Have you ever done Bach's Well Tempered C.? I'd love to hear/see your interpretation!

[lucasade1234]

very well done, although when i play it with the real one, yours is too slow, well done though, hard to do do with no music sheet!

[ednjet]

This is one of my favs and you do it better than I've ever heard. You have a great talent!

[argekay]

The tempo is spot on. The best I have seen for an amateur musician. There is a lack of depth. The piece needs to be a little quieter overall, with the crescendo starting at 3:01. This is a VERY difficult piece to play perfectly. That said, I applaud your effort! You are a talented individual, and I hope you continue to practice and improve your playing. You have alot of talent! Other than some professional recordings I have listened to, this is the best on You Tube!

[stringsof6]

You look like Napolean Dynamite... you play real good!

[tylerzw711]

hope to see more videoes from you

[Ibuki1961]

Many thanks to David from Germany. He gets 5 Stars because I like his interpretation a lot. This is not the last time that I will listen to his performance. David, if you like, I would invite you to listen to my interpretation of this song on a classical guitar. Because I startet Guitarplaying in the age of 30 I will never become perfekt. But the moonlight sonata is for me the best musicpeace to try and try to improve myself and to bring a little bit of peace in the world.

[alexis2112]

Sounds perfect

[littleamelie]

your performence is perfect!

i have never seen a better interpretation than yours!

thank you for uploading it!

[skelkie]

perfect, playing from the heart, well done

[maseay14]

[r11ckp]

[FlekinFalher]

You were at the first performance?

That would make you what, over 160 years old?

[baiubaiu]

Bravo

[pochol123]

[ErnestoPetti]

[beethovenslady]

Wonderful, thanks for playing...

[stefska]

beautiful, so much talent, so much "feeling" ... beautiful .. Bravo

[lleial]

I have to say, that I love this song, and there are no words to describe how you play the piano. I wish someday I could see you play live!

god bless you and your hands!

[SPAG22]

Well done! That was bloody great!

[lujainoh]

I never knew I looked like Bethoven!

[zonkd]

[aioros23]

best wishes..

[menion83]

Spettacular!!! You are GREAT!

[n008assassin]

[vampirealdys]

damn.... why do male musicians turn me on?? grrrr...

[thisisastupidusernam]

Actually, I don't drink...wine.

[Jurg82]

This was really nice. Emotional and with the hesitation required. Most people play it too fast and some too slow, but this is perfect tempo :) Keep up the good work!

[thisisastupidusernam]

Nicely played. It should be quieter, more ethereal, more fleeting, like a mist, where vague images and shapes seem to form before us, fading before we can quite make them out. A sort of haunting, elusive, quality is what really distinguishes great performances of this piece from merely "very good" performances. Not bad, though, and certainly better than some other performances I've seen on this site.

[aarongillrie]

You have to love people like this, not only is this an amateur website, but people aren't here to post professional quality performances; they are simply here to share. In that spirit, well played.

If people wanted a professional critique they would say so, and not only that, but half of what you wrote, you must have been drinking wine that had the essence of rose hip and finely aged oak with a touch of the bitter-sweetness of spring.

Boo armchair critics!

[shroudangel]

Does it really matter?? Lets just enjoy the music

[dabiribd]

nice song to choose,Awsome playing and it was beautiful.

[Enzo24680]

Nice playing!!!

[Peidan]

That was euphoric. I've always loved this song and you potrayed it perfectly.

[nightblade37]

The dynamics ,control and tempo is there... just brilliant. You are definitely a virtuoso.

[blueyoyi]

Superbly played ....

the emotion flows with the music !!
