Chopin Etude Op. 10 No. 5 "Black Keys" - Derek Wang

[GarrSnav]

I want your mad piano skills

[TheRyanTelevision]

DUDE, curve your fingers and sit up strieght. -_- Well done at least.

[foshizzlemyjonas]

damn you made me drop my balls



[MiniGeek31337]

Yeah, THAT's how you play it :D

[xKJx25]

Is it really meant to be played at that speed?

don't get me wrong, you're freaking talented but, it's like at this speed, the piece is hard to enjoy.

[christianchoi1]

@xKJx25 of course it is, I have the piece, 116 for every beat, 2/4 or other wise 2 beats per measure, and in each measure for the right hand, there is sixteen notes, or the double dashed triplet notes, not single dashed, double dashed. That's faster then the sixteenth note, but slower then the thirty second notes. 16th notes have 4 per beat, 32nd 8 per beat, double dashed triplet notes 6 per beat. I learned this song incorrectly, but my teacher's gonna teach me again after chopin's min waltz. :D

Fantastic mate, I'd played almost 3 years ago... now I want to "restore" it to perfect condition again... you gave me all the courage required to do so.

You are talented, keep up the great work - impressed.

[VortexBuffer]

The piano needs tuning :) Very nice and talented playing!

[andyli929]

I respect the talent of the composer, and the hard work made to perfection by you (at such a young age) !

[grapekiwizzz]

you have such amazing talent at a young age!!!!

i wish i could play like that...

[jimmymoomoojimmy]

I just start it T T it's very difficult.

[Ithinkyoureramazing]

Very impressive for that age! Technique is respectable, and the musicality of the piece comes though! Congratulations on your talent!

[ivoryflute86]

good form in this video. better than the more recent ones!

[TheJohannes84]

wang ur towing ur master's part

[iSOisoleucine]

Good speed and rhythm. Beautiful.

[rpadilla99ish]

Wang Wang =)

awesome performance though haha

[bloopsyblopsy009]

@octave161 you are god.

[Ravenclaw9564]

Excellent job! Best version of the Black Keys Etude I've heard so far on YouTube!

[MissGeeGeeGirl]

look at his hands!! wow impossible!

great talent! i really like it! :)

[ellojellofly]

@octave161 d-rek wassup=D

[musicismylife0122]

i think you are amazing and that i could never play ever like you but i have to admit its so perfect and it has like no emotion... i felt like i was listening to like an iPad piano or something. if you hear Lang Lang play this i would probably like feel it ya know?? i totally think your amazing tho.

[Awagawaga]

Hey, You're the blindfolded pianist who played the musics of mario in one awesome video :D

[HappyJohnnyInco]

Wow

[deppwaswho]

now do it with an orange :)

[Weiko1998]

@deppwaswho do it with his ballz



[kcotsob]

@deppwaswho what do you mean "with an orange"?

[HaIoReachForge]

@kcotsob This is what he means:  /watch?v=qoIxkecBf48

[thexproxnoob]

Great job, but I personally prefer it slower.

Speed isnt everything, even in etudes.

[Boatsfan]

Hi! Who is your teacher?

[3dchain]

Me Gusta.

[frog0418]

awesome..ur fingers..so long =]

[mrkeyboarddude]

Very maturely played. Usually when I see someone of your age play this, they muddle through it harshly, without the though of how it should be nice and light in the right hand for the majority of the piece. Well Done.

[T0YSH0P]

i admire you so much young man

[cowloverz]

that was amazing :D

[fjshepherd123]

I think it says a lot for this kid's playing that the worst aspect of the whole thing is the tuning of the piano!

[PianoDude1011]

...........................(sp­eechless)

[busterkeys25]

Can I call you Wang Wang?

[dship98]

Dear Derek, HOW DID YOU DO THIS WITH 6 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE?! I have 6 years, and I can only play Beethoven's Sonata No 8 "Pathetique" ! You have tons of talent! :)

[rogeliosarambeta]

Odio a éstos pequeños chinos talentosos que todo lo hacen bien!

[mortalfrog0815]

very nice indeed! you have a very good way of unique interpretation, which is essential for becoming a great performer... i wish you the best of luck, i hope you make your way!

[chobeethaninov]

I always enjoy your playing! Always!

[mechanicalteddybear]

[2soccergrl94]

[etiam161036]

Merveilleux!!!!! Merci !!!

[SpR4y510]

great control for your age. keep it up!!

[Hitherto90]

[pianolicious134]

@octave161 how did you manage to learn to play like that in 7 years? haha, man, this is simply amazing. I would be content with 10% of your talent.

[agravante19]

wow :)



[anex279]

i can't believe that 4 persons don't like this :@

he is amazing (:

[anonymousQ45]

can you play no.1? 

[bachngochoatl]

Dear Derek, I must say that I admire you so much. I do love the way you interpret this piece. It touches my heart every time I listen to. Thanks for sharing with us. I always appreciate your talent.

[bunnylover444424]

OMG, so talented :D

[goodguysdoll]

NICE NICE OCTAVES. And done with the 5th finger, which is the best way to avoid injury. Great playing.

[rsoeyadi]

@Aimiklingsor93 Isn't it supposed to be "Merry Christmas?" o_0 Good job Derek! You're very talented :D

[hohohee1]

@octave161 looks as ugly as little lang lang too

[Chezmat1]

what the hell...I've been playing for 12 years and this piece is taking me soooo long to learn

[L2StfuNoob]

So tell me, how long do you practice your scales? Nicely done

[nico13112008]

awesome! keep up the excellent work!

[Macowong911]

holy -,-

[zignabah]

is that a sceene jump at 0:56

[seanmcnally]

TIME PARADOX :57..

[pianovirtuoso1000]

Impressive performance! This etude is the one I am studying right now!

[FlyingMelbournite]

bravo!!

[untituled69]

Derek, I think you don't have anything to envy from Lang Lang or any of the great pianists! This interpretation is amazing, I'd love t see you playing the Tchaikovsky piano concerto!

[1Lisztener1]

@octave161 What was the first song you learned? And have you learned a Sonata?

[1Lisztener1]

I respect your talent. How long have you been playing?

[walti945]

He needs no sheet music, the music stand is mounted the wrong way I nerver sah such a funny thing :-))

[ThePVGS1]

@walti945 It isn't mounted, it was put down =)

[SofiieeWinter]

bravo.. this is brilliant :))

[randomshinichi]

I've seen a lot of young children try to play something awesome and get rated high on Youtube for it, while sucking incredibly, but you're the first one I've seen to actually play musically at this age.

Oh, and the left hand sounds a bit dry to me, consider using some pedal on it?

[iKnops]

Asian

Glasses

Piano

ASS KICKER PERIOD

[varsitypianist2012]

For your young age, this is a brilliant performance...I'd take a look at the Paderewski edition of the etudes...there's a lot of interesting ideas in there...

[DragonBonder]

Idk how you achieved this after learning piano for only a short period. you're amazing

[mr00aznkid]

If there was a 1000+ size font I would type WOW in that size.

WOW!

[MusicClassical1]

You could play your Left Hand a bit heavier in some laces like: 00:28 - 00:39. It would sound a lot better! :) 5 Stars! We love to hear you post some more Chopin Etudes!

[salskiii]

you make it look so effortless! so good!

[blueyoyi]

BRILLIANT !!!!!

[123Emtai1234]

Quite amazing great job :)

[gtimny]

Spectacular - not just wiggling fingers, but real music. Bravo!

[s22s55s88]

Браво!!!Продолжай в том же духе!

[cecezhang]

good job! but try to get a more exciting eding~~ I love your first page buy the way

[hl830127]

Why is the music stand put backward?? You are amazing by the way.

[UberMenschNowFilms]

Splendid! If only the world could produce more young pianists like this!

[SHOWqueenie]

little lang lang!!!

[jthong5555]

I really enjoys the quality of the video beside his playing . Is this HD?

[foxyjohnuk]

[graywaves123]

[kr2691]

[coffeetea]

Wow, Derek that was great! Love it!

[UncleNathan]

Nicely done! Watch the left hand octaves at 1:38; you sound a bit muddy there. Overall, a fine performance!

[Benspiano]

Amazing! Well done! Bravo!

[abhikmazumder]

Excellent!

[PianoKidElaine369]
