I discovered with pleasure through sharing. Your interpretation delights me, despite some difficulties with video synchronization. Obviously, you play with panache. And I congratulate you ...

Great playing! The historical intro was very nice too.

The purpose of the split audio track was to improve the quality. I have the original audio that was recorded on the video tape.Perhaps I will past that as a reference for naysayers.I consulted a friend who is a video technician about the sync problems and I should have some answers on that. It is funny-the audio starts with the video and ends with the video-but in the middle is far out of synch. I suspect this has to do with the video being made in some format that is not in exact "real" time.

One remark: the video is very badly synchronized?

Can you do something about that, some people may think that Joshua is only miming the piece.....

He is so good that it could bring suspicion.....You know how certain people are?

This performance of the subtle Arabesque is one of the most moving I have ever heard. You plat this work at the level of a great pianist, Joshua.

So much inspiration, such marvellous musical ideas comming from an eleven year boy, is almost unbeleivable. The short historical documentary was an excellent idea.

This video is going into my favourites, without any possible doubt. What else did you play?

[Dancsins]

Beautiful!

excellent playing as usual:) you look older now, josiah...seen you grow from those early vids you made...time flies! hehe

also liked the intro, good way to put the piece into the context of schumann's life, was that due to your dad's good editing skills? lol

5 stars video!!!!
