Beethoven: Sonata in G Major op. 49, no. 2 ( I ) Arthur's practice

[blueyoyi]

Arthur is a much mature pianist now; yet despite being played 2 years ago.... still very good!!!

[jasonbernard]

HOLY COW!!! im 14 and i hve been playing for five years and i cant play this song that well

[overlordmastr100]

Idk what RCM is must be a completely CRAP exam board if it's for Grade 8 LOL. I did this for ABRSM Grade 5 LOL.

[PockyHeartsPoptarts]

wtf is RCM? i played this already & i have to say your dynamics are not that clear but sometimes it is very obvious. some of your notes are way too fast, you do not have a set pace & you're all over the place going from 100-144 or even faster at times. get a metronome? & also you use staccato in some places where you shouldnt.

not bashing, just stating what people should know.

[mainmo9900]

im playing this song for my grade 8 RCM exam :o

good job :) now i just have to find a way to play it like you.

[hahahaloveful]

That's pretty good! :)

[dc1041]

I like the b minor part of the crescendo good you gave a good Idea for that part thank you so much

[loukra123]

Wow, im very amazed about youre talent. I want to play piano like you.

[theMGLguy]

nice performance! i am just about finished with this piece and i thought i might look around to see how its really done. mine still could be a tad faster -__-

anyways grats to your awesome playing :D

[fredfan192]

nice

[dc1041]

do you have the second movement

[hoagydope]

His smile at the end is so cute! ^_^

*pinches cheeks!*

[hoagydope]

His smile at the end is so cute! ^_^

*pinches cheeks!*

[doughuggi]

Yes very good. I am learning this now. Nice to hear a prodigy play it.

[NRyll]

Im learning this song right now too!! i think this is really good and despite others saying your triplets are too fast they might be tad but that is why there is a range in the speed from 126 to i forget the top one but this is definatly within that range. It does need dynamics though and a steadier rhythm but your really good compared to me:P especially since your so young. CONGRATS!!

[GilvanGouveaMerola]

Very Good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[obsessivegh3player]

nice job :) this is only the 1st movement right?

[stickerlover164902]

TERRIBLE technique.

[hahahaloveful]

@stickerlover164902 Hey douchebag, why don't you upload a video of you playing that? He's probably finished all the RCM books by now, you have to acknowledge how old he is. He just has to work on his tempo, triplets, and some more feeling. Saying it's terrible tells us what a stupid person you are.

[stickerlover164902]

@hahahaloveful I already have uploaded a video.

[hahahaloveful]

@stickerlover164902 I know. Seriously? I don't know why you said that to him.. I honestly think he's way better than you. And everything you play is easy as fuck (I know because I played them all except Jar of Hearts which I know is easy) and they are all slow and mellow pieces that don't need much dynamic-wise articulation. So all I'm saying is: speak for yourself.

[TheMsroxy1996]

very nice but just work on the triplets (make them more clear) GREAT!

[majesticpopper]

im playing this now and im 12 i agree your triplets are too fast. lol u even play it faster than me and your younger than me but other than that good job

[ArtyKing12345]

whats odd here is that i play this piece, and my name is arthur also! LOL except that I suck at it....

You rock!

[greenjadeofpeace]

that was beautiful! how long has arthur been playing?

[majesticpopper]

ur so cuteeeeee i loved ur perf

[googgooggooggoog]

Excellent! I enjoyed your playing!

[dussekfan]

Yay

[xoxoCBDxoxo]

wow, this is amazing for a kid so young!

[flaviolucas1]

Amazing performances *****

[pedroogata13]

what age is that boy??

[drickpires]

Great performances

[Dhoiris3]

Great performance!!!

[Labpiano89]

Great performances!!

[Juaza]

Superb!

[bergybeer]

che d$o ti inculi

[pn778]

pink juicy is right...

[PinkyJuicyStar]

sometimes its slow and fast...

i dont think that you have a good rythm

[jet6234]

there are diffrent values for each note to make it interesting

[scottiehoskins]

I don't want to critisize you but, your tiplets are WAY TOO FAST!!!! Slow down your triplets!!!! You also speed up in parts where your not supposed to and your dynamics are not all correct. But everything else is fine.

[scarletpath]

I dont actually think you're supposed to slow down

[T1carus]

good notes but lacking music

[MusiqJunkie16]

A B S O L U T E L Y

A M A Z I N G !

I've always loved this piece & this is hands down one of the best renditions of it, including when i played it . =)

Keep up the good work!

[KickinitKool]

you play it very well but need to work on your dynamics

[mkopin]

In general, I often agree with your teacher - play Beethoven, not some thing that you made up based on Beethoven. In this case, there is some interpretation going on, and I think it's done very well. I agree with you though - hopefully his training (by someone who knows how to play Beethoven) will give him the freedom to have his own way of playing it.

[FlaschPiano97]

amazing

[FlaschPiano97]

how?

[mkopin]

Excellent job, in my opinion with the tempo changes. I did not think to slow down as much as you do during the repeated 8th notes on the left hand at 3:00, but it sounds very good. I will try it next time I play. I agree with others that more can be done for dynamic expression. Personally, I question whether a 7 year old is mature enough to have his own expression, or if the interpretation will be entirely his teacher's. In any case, the interpretation here and the playing are both very good.

[EmceeSantos]

wow . amazing played(x wonderful and extremely impressive . i'm playing it right now so wow i'm really amazed at how he could play it so well ! :D

[galzparadise0916]

his playing is good. How old is he? I am currently playing the song right now.

[snbois100]

i have exacly the same banch and the same piano ( young chang ) grand piano.

[dogtransport]

He plays good for his small size.

[snbois100]

how old is he for he playing like that. he is almost better then me and im 12

[snbois100]

thats inpresive, really good, but a bit more dynamic would make the piece like a profesional playing it. keep ur good work

[TheElectro8]

LOL @ roxianealexander's comment.. harsh.. and I agree with NorikoSurge as well..

that's basically all.

[roxianealexander]

I wish I lived in your world where this quality of playing is horrible. You must have exposure to some phenomenal music. However this child was trained it still sounds great...

[sdthird10]

lol asian baldy shit head

[8Blossom8]

I have this song and

I would say you're doing a good job,

but slow down at some places.

[Itrocks10]

Not bad very good all i play this sonate to your a talented kid and good luck for more!

[mileyfan657]

:/

i play this too,

and i still need the book to play it,

and i struggle at it,

and MAN, this boy is reallllly good at it :)

luckyhim

wish i was himx3!@#$%^&*()

your very good arthur! keep up the good work (:

[anusuomi]

ooops you sure you brought ears while watching? your spellings are weird also. no hard feeling.

[roxianealexander]

Ppl r tired of azn kid prodigies? These must be some sad ppl. Maybe jealous is a better explanation. Excellent job! Wonderful!!! Beautiful!!!

[thejugglenaut91]

you begin to see a reason why there are child prodigies... next of kin to pavlovian conditioning on part of the parents. Doesn't equate in feeling in pieces, that's why azns never have ANY feeling. Asian kid was playing chaconne at my college audition, played it perfectly, IT SOUNDED HORRIBLE! No emotion whatsoever.

[Sk13rPr0]

i am also getting very tired and annoyed at little azn kid prodegies

[CCathcart123]

not bad but you really need to include the over exaggerate articulations and dynamic level. There is hardly any emotion that you included. Without any emotion the piece becomes boring and repetitious. Study some Beethoven technique to fully comprehend the concepts.

P.S. If any of you say he is to young to bother with that, i was playing Beethoven's Pathetique sonata when i was his age.

[NorikoSurge]

I agree that he needs to work on his dymanics, It seems too technical. The problem I have is with the fingering but I make up for it with the dynamics. I think the dynamics are more important here.

[OnTheSaneSide]

i know im going to get like a minus 10000 thumbs down but getting unbelievably tired of piano-inclined, young asian kids.

[ChrisJSwain]

agreed

[DreamsSphere]

very good :) your young ;p

[beethovenof08]

Wow Arthur, this was really good! Your triplets are very nice and even! I can tell you enjoy this piece! :) Good luck for when you take this to competitions/exams!

[crewsd]

Howabout some expression?

[lindiana628]

good luck! you play so well!

I play this song too, I like the way you play it, haha. :D

[Myselfpiano25]

I love this song...you are so young and play it so well...that was amazing!

[silberphil]

this is soo great!!!

[tonyyezj]

Good playing! Quite a few wrong notes, lift your hand up whenever you need to. Also, don't speed up, keep the same tempo. Furthermore, watch some of the dynamics, they were sometimes ignored. Overall, a very nice job! =]

[zrshwe]

well done. Very nicely played.

[zrshwe]

Well done. Very nicely played.

[FlowerEmblem]

Ahhh...I have a feeling you'll win the competition ^^...either that, or you will at least have a near-win xD As my teacher would say, "You have good articulation" (also known as, "near-perfect" =D)

[davidvlds]

Amazing job, very well done.

[thomandy]

[pianogirl98]

Wonderful!!! Good luck to you at the competition!

[brian777999]

Excellent Beethoven piece....well done.

[LarsenPiano]

Hi Arthur,

You have done a great job. I noticed you slowed down a lot during the development section. I think you were doing it for stylistic emphasis not because of any technical challenge. I'm not sure if that slowing down is really kosher for this era of music. Anyone else have any comments?

Best wishes and luck for your performance!

Nick

[mayablanca]

Hi Arthur! This is really great, I'm positive you'll do great at the competition, best luck! :) You play with great force!!

[pianogirl4ever]

Wonderful! You will do well in your competition and exam! (*^^*)

[xieuling]

Arthur, thank you very much. I cannot close my mouth yet, absolutely astonishing !!! Congratulations.

[jcjx]

WOW! Arthur is fantastic! The smoothness of the flow of music coupled with rapidly changing notes, he's achieved a feat not to be undermined! Excellent playing!

[maxalicia78]

Arthur, great job! Very nice balance and great mood adjustment between different parts. Hope you win!

Good luck.

[iheartpiano2]

great job!! your hands can move fast! sounds really good!!! :)

[kpunkt]

bravo! very fluent, very powerful! one little moaning: the theme beginning at around 3:00 should not be THAT much slower than the rest of the piece. A bit slower is okay :-)

[aawpiano2007]

Get it. Thanks so much, kpunkt!

[1992peter]

I love it.

This vid is n my favorites.

[beethoveen]

Arthur Well done , be very honest you are a musician now for rcm piano examination is too easy for you, its time to move a big step to get extermely challenge experience on piano competition to polish yourself to, in u dictionary there's not a word all too hard, are you ready for this challenge , i m so sure you can do it
