[KidMusician]

@ashleyralee Thanks for asking. Yes.

[Mitsukuni789]

Wow she's really good! I'm fourteen and I'm still trying to learn this piece!!!!

[iiuud]

Look at her hair hahaha

[516lilxluvmusic]

@iiuud

[pixienumber9]

wow and shes only 8

[PaulHong22]

It's Allegro, but she plays it like an Agitato piece.

[dying2comment]

shes 14 now O.O

it may look like she thinks shes better than everyone else, but its obvious that she puts a lot of time and effort into practicing, and thats what makes her better than everyone else, so stop being jeolous, you haters!!

[dids128]

i love how her fingers look like they are so gracfully sliding accross the keys. and i must say for an eight year old she has lot of music and emoction in her music.

[asbani911]

i used to play this when I was 16 yrs old, I've stopped playing piano since the age of 20 due joining the army, now i'm 28 and I only remember the first part, forgot all the rest, what a waste ;(

[LoZTwilight]

why does every singel video of the sonata is to fast, focus people faster isnt always beter it kills dynamic

[newmanchurch]

琴音乾淨俐落，聽起來好爽快，真是太棒了！音樂神童，perfe­ct

[twilightsparkle101]

Too fast... That is one of the hardest parts about this piece, NOT MAKING SO FAST!!

[destinybone]

This is one of the best versions of youtube. I cannot find any video better than this!

[jthong5555]

excellent! 2 hours a day wow. I wonder what you can accomplish with just piano?  Thanks for sharing.

[stanley6233]

she plays very well unlike me

[pdefray]

e io dovrei suonare quello al saggio???????? VOI SIETE PAZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[9855kikka]

genialeeeeeeeeeeeee

[CDKirby1]

too fast... way too fast

[destinybone]

How long did she spend learning this piece?

[kikyo44]

哇!!! 雅雯實在是很辦!! :D -Jasper

[lyonofthedarke]

OMG!

[linda10989]

One word: WOW!!!

[virfed]

May I post this to my facebook?

[KidMusician]

Thank for asking. Yes.

[mukraf]

If you really look at the sheet music, its nothing really complicated, just a bit fast. but an 8 year old doing this is still pretty amazing. i wonder how'll she do when playing sixteenth note chords with her left hand descending up and down... now those are hard

[magicmusicentral]

wow. amazing. im 12 and i still can't play it that perfectly!!!!

[ShadyGuyF]

@magicmusicentral well, unless you're a genius and unless you've been playing for ages, i wouldn't expect you to be. I only started last year, and i'm fourteen. i can get to about 1:40 so far, but i'll finish it soon :).

Oh, and about the 8 year old girl playing a grade 5 piece, WHAAAAT??!!

she's waaaaaay 2 good

[destinybone]

Perfect!!!

[3Leh3]

Dobro delo, dekle!

[o0wasd0o]

Fucking Amazing!!! Piano Godness :)

[board4green]

wow excelent job

[ccpi9rools4295]

how did she learn to do such a long trill at such a young age?!!!!

i still cant get the trills right

[mukraf]

@ccpi9rools4295 just do trills for an extended period of time. you'll get in no time. Just trill continuously for like 5-10 minutes. You should switch the fingers around a bit so you can get all your fingers to trill

[stpn97]

the fast parts always gets me...

[wmuko]

wow im 12 and still working because i dnt like to play clasical piano i perfer jazz so im not bad im actually really good i no how to play the maple leaf rag

[ellyrox1816]

I learned how to play this at 11. I started playing at 10. I can't believe this! :O

[9855kikka]

questa si merita di chiamarsi genio...mamma mia santissima!

[natgarbia]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! i can play this too but i am older and i never had a chance to learn when i was her age. BRAVA BRAVO

[windamere16]

BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cescoilgrande]

questa bimba ha stile!!

[9855kikka]

anche io sto suonando questo pezzo ma questa bambina ha una mano velocissima come la mia!bravissima

[musicXpiano]

omgg im learnin to play this now the fast parts get me dam shes good <,<

[9855kikka]

ha una mano velocissima anche io ce l'ho quando suono il piano e poi io questo pezzo lo sto suonando xd!

[789vbc]

She is the next Yuja Wang.

[lily2jlp9]

wow!

[FleaPeaa]

sound like the little amadeus

[Violinfrau]

She's better as a pianist than as a violinist, but she's wonderful anyway, I think she should go on with piano and become a pianist.

[joparkeruk]

she's so good, she plays so confidently, she just 'flows' with the music, it's like it was in her the moment she was in this world! Great work Gabrielle, enjoy your talent because we certainly do! I love listening to you :)

[Galoot5]

PIano is the best i am 13 and i play it alot

[Galoot5]

No one cares more because i bet you cant even play tard :D

[xxdalvinxx]

very very good skill at piano better me im only 9 years old and i can play recorder

My favorite song is 'Simple Gifts

[he2pockysticks]

That was played through perfectly. O_O I didn't catch not one mistake.

She's beyond-outstanding. I kinda feel bad for her though :/ I hope she still has time to be a kid.. Lots of brutal practice to get that amazing, for sure.

[JPNpatriot]

Amazing! Outstanding!

[ravenl0rd]

it was good, a little fast for my liking but everyone plays it differently so i can't complain :D

[juliaCSL]

i never get tired of this!

[krnboy411]

isnt gabrielle chou in the principal orchestra for violin in FYO?

[KidMusician]

Yes. She has been there since 7 and she is their concertmaster now.

[LillyTeal]

I bet this girl thinks she is better than everyone...

[greenkiwi689]

Well she is amazingly good and I don't know her personally but I agree she has somewhat of an overconfidence in her playing. Not that that's a bad thing, as long as it doesn't get too out of hand. A little overconfidence is a good thing to have but there is a fine line and I don't think she's passed it yet. :D

[KidMusician]

Many 8-year-old kids think that way. I would let them enjoy it when they still can :D Richard

[200904piano]

Wow! This is the best for only a 8 years old.

[theviolinmaster99]

WOW!!! That was totally awsome!!! Ya, keep up the good work

[4nimeGoddess]

Shes AMAZING! :) I played this when i was 11 . And she owns Way more <3

[classica18]

puff! You're amazing!

[STARSwithoutNAMES]

Amazing performance!

[TheSlowRiders]

And the piano!?!?!?

[TheRealLyka]

WOW! I'm learning piano. And i wanna play just like you.

[masa43826]

ま、ま、負けた。。。by３０歳

[DancingBandGeek]

She's playing it a bit faster than I've ever heard it played, but it is of course incredible.

[dixintex]

This is a great piece because it requires the piano player to use a technique base that can only be learned thru lessons. She has been trained well. Look at her curled fingers and her arched hands. Just lovely!!! Very disciplined performer!!! BRAVO!

[Gdog637]

yo datz phresh

i can play dat to but i can do that good

[CrazyChao232]

"Hi gabrielle choi,

I'm 7 years old, you are great, my dad said that we could see you and meet each other in one of your concerts. I also play piano and live in silver lakes, enjoy with my video!" PEDOPHILE ALERT!

Anyway, that's awesome! I hate playing piano myself, but even I enjoyed this. Nicely done!

[AEZGSKL9]

:D this videos was in the year 2004 so she is 13 today

[brixtyx]

you are incredible!

[AngelaFragassi]

Inredibile...

[chitose3su]

She plays the piano too!! What else do you play!! You're just good at everything.

[davidvlds]

Hi gabrielle choi,

I'm 7 years old, you are great, my dad said that we could see you and meet each other in one of your concerts. I also play piano and live in silver lakes, enjoy with my video!

[kestellekif]

magnifique kisssss

[brosephjames]

This is a very exciting interpretation. I agree with the poster who says it is like beethoven, but disagree with his comment that that's a bad thing :)

[moethandar]

Gabrielle........You are very GREAT!!!

[LoveTp0511]

すごい！！！！

すごすぎます。

私もこの曲やってますがこんなに弾けませんよ！

[inalilahi]

Allhamah Dullilah.. Ha Illah Ha Illouloohh

[wingklow]

Who needs Glenn Gould!?

[x3hannah13]

Imprssionnant pour une petite fille de 8 ans!!

[April1350]

one word...WOW!

[AlizAns]

dtvnjatwwowowowowowow

THAT IS SOME AWESOME PLAYING..

I can really see the effort :-)

[mozarschub1819]

Simply perfect!

I love Mozart ! :D

You've got talent! I hope see you in adult like the best player in the world ! ;D

Keep playing !

[DonTobias]

perfecto!

[marylinks]

i am not naturally gifted at music. i am playing it now at age 14. 6 years later!! XD

[hariel]

allegro = molto presto impossibile. Maybe this is the new wave...

[zach100590]

that's gotta be the fastest i've ever heard it played

[marylinks]

i ve heard faster...

[triplebig]

ive heard better trolls

[OoReachingJannahoO]

omg!!

just wow!!!

now thats TALENT!!!

she pays wayyyyy better then me!!!

[mocev]

Did you hear Mozart play it?

[lara9114]

I didn't but I know the tempo he wrote the piece and is NOT the way she's playing, anyway.

[amtng01]

yeah, ur right. i think so too!!! she has no emotion in it.

[synnleih]

whatever dude! she's amazing dun b jealous!

[lara9114]

Iam not being jealous BUT critical.

[oHsNaP1337]

It was a flawless performance, but I agree the tempo was to fast for this piece.....

[lara9114]

Its much too fast, is not the correct tempo.

I am pretty sure the girl got TALENT, but its not the right piece to show SPEED.

horrible choice to.

[lovelystrings]

These kids! Violin and Piano! Wish I had practiced more. Music major and I'm still amazed. Wonder how much free time she has, though. Oh well, Julliard or someone will take her if they haven't already. Good luck, sweetie!

[luu1993]

ay,,que maravilla,,, sus manos tienen unos movimientos tan suaves,pero rapidos a la vez,, que no muchos logran,, es espectacular,,,, una belleza musical

[Bramborail]

One of the BEST!!!!!!!!!!! S.E.R.I.O.U.S

This is ideal performance, as I want to be able to !

[AwesomeWiiMan]

PRODIGY.

[spacybub]

way too much fast

[Kevbox2008]

Did you notice??? NO MUSIC!!! She played the entire piece FLAWLESSLY BY MEMORY!!! That's NUTS!!! EXCELLENT JOB!!! :^)

[bubylugo88]

she's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[VietFiddle]

She plays violin very well too.

This piece, I can hear her piano goes smoothly and beautifully, but not watching her elbow.

Her piano teacher has spent too much effort to teach her to lift her elbow high more than necessary. She can improve her technical skills better without lifting up her elbow like that.

She has musical talent, but if she chooses piano, she will be amongst hundreds of pianists, and if she chooses violin, the world violinists are not as many as pianists.

[agreg375]

mozart is not supposed to be played that way. he was more of an elegant composer. this is not beethoven. i think you will play beethoven well. you play very dramatically

[marylinks]

this doesn't sound Beethoven... a little bit, but not really. I would say... Hayden?

[arschgrauviolett]

sry, but what the hell are you talking? it's mozart!!! sonata K. 545 BY MOZART!!!

OMG don't mess up those names, if you don't know, please. It really hurts.

[marylinks]

sorry i was replying to a comment.

[arschgrauviolett]

sry I was a little overreacting : D

[Vegetruks]

Not sure if you're joking, but this is Mozart

[jcyen0909]

WOW!!!!!! This is great!!!!!!!!

[PhilippeLernould]

awesome

brillant playing with character

[Raphch]

i guess we all are waiting for her concert as she'll be older...

[boredcow]

the dynamics are excellent, but this piece is not supposed to be played this fast. way too fast, need to slow it down.

[ambarb52]

que lindaaaa!!! muy natural!!! divina

[franz1811liszt]

Very talented !

[thedragonsaver]

hmm... so she should be about 12 by now.. interesting. XD

[Eduardo2daDownes]

She's AWESOME!!! the next time i'll see is on Televison :D

[cydcharisse08]

Impressive technique, confidence and maturity. If she also plays violin, she is a very comples musical talent at this very young age. I have not heard her violin playing but I am curious on which instrument she will focus for her career.

[gottagetdog]

this is a REAL child prodigy.

damn.

lol.

[KorgRadiasJunky]

Wow!

[princessanahmi]

wow isnt she the girl who plays violin like crazy

[thunder1909]

Can you post some of her compositions, i'd be very glad to hear them.

[KidMusician]

Search YouTube by "Gabrielle Chou, composition" and you shoud find some. Thanks.

[daphne37]

I'm partial to this piece of music and am thoroughly moved by your performance. You are sure in your Self. So rare.

[1124jack]

That was just bravo for more awesome I hope my daughter can play that piece some day. You would make a great idol for her. Bravo to the parents.

[angusjwilson]

I can play K.545 but she plays it better than me and I'm 14. iI learnt it when I was 11! not *. She deserves to be famous. If she cam to England she would be knighted before she was 20!!!! BEST I VE EVER HEARD SOMEONE PLAY THAT AND I'VE HEARD MANY ADULTS PERFORM THIS PIECE!!! SHE SHOULD BE THOUROUGHLY AWARDING AND PRAISED! WELL DONE GABRIELLE! UR AMAZING!

[Flowerrbombb]

Bloody hell, shes amazing.

Wish i could paly this fast (:

[isoroxmysox]

u call that a 8 yearold!!! SHE IS LIKE OMG!!!!! SHE IS A LIKE YEA SUPER GOOD!!! WHEN I was 8years old all i played was ummmmmm.....

[jannajannajanna3]

i wish i could play that fast!

[kyriekiwi]

I think this is great but a little too fast but it's amazing that she can play it that fast!

[LightningDemon]

I agree on the too fast, but also on the other as well! Im astounded!! :)

[pashapshick]

best k. 545 playing I've heard.

[InesRV]

That was beautiful! keep it up, you are very talented!

[Pianoloverok]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!

[RonDeep]

best on youtube.

[RuBixKuber07]

i concur

[thaeg01]

that was realy, really well played.

[brianamyranda]

Wow. That is very good for you to learn early... imagine how good you will be when your older... geez... even im not that good yet...lol. keep it up!

[AnalogStick]

Very very well played, a bit too over jumpy at times but very excellent. But the k.545 is only the first step into the elite piano compositions.

[ernestalba]

I've heard many of the great virtuosic pianists play this piece, but this recording remains one of my absolute favorites.

[hellokittylovexx]

Oh. My. GAWD!!! [wowed]

[kurt234]

wow!! My favorite Composer And song!!! I wish i have a tutorial of piano lesson!!!!!!!! but i play canon id d at my piano!!!! I wish i can play k. 545!!!!!

[glamorousss1]

This is absolutely amazing!

I play piano myself, and i just have so much respect for this amazing little girl! I'm 14 and have playing for a year, and am learning this song. I will never be able to play it like this. Just Incredible.

[juliaCSL]

I just keep coming back to this video again and again... no matter how hard I tried it wouldn't reach to be this beautiful.

by the way I use to have exactly the same hairstyle as her! hahah... except that wasn't as talented as her!

[shrawan12321]

U are one amazing player.. u jus played my favorite song so amazingly well.. flawless.. bravo.. bravo..

[rosenart17]

you're awesome. Speechless!!!
