  • Cool

    I even can't play this song

    it's hard -,-

    but somethings bad on the song i think your right hand and the left hand can match -,-

    but i like it good job Onii-chan ^-^

  • This is VERY much like Nodame's style of playing ^-^ Good job!

  • SPOT IT PLEASE!!!! WHERE ARE THE FEELINGS????? HUUHHH???

  • all of the people on here leaning rude ass comments need to shut the hell up because at least he tried none of you are that good and people dont need to be complete assholes gooooood

  • did you rush it so that people can think you are good?

    if you play like this then youre not a true pianist

    i myself cant play this song and i have no talent in piano but i like it i can only play fur elise but piano songs or classical songs should be played with your heart i think you dont have feelings for the song

  • Skipped too much notes, notes not evenly distributed, completely ignored original editorials. Its fine if just trying to follow a Japanese drama, but sucks in real life.

  • Crap

  • it's too fast !

  • this piece is really difficult.. i have played for a year but i still can't play it well.

  • is this the Kung-Fu version?

  • nodame cantabile? ^o^ i like you.

  • too fast like your rushing something... left hand of the bar after first 3 bars is too loud it covers up the right part. the intro of cantabile part is way too fast. Cantabile man i din feel the cantabile. some part are not smooth enough

  • too fast like your rushing something... left hand of the bar after first 3 bars is too loud it covers up the right part. the intro of cantabile part is way too fast. Cantabile man i din feel the cantabile

  • the camera is broken.. D:

  • 赶时间?

    

  • 赶时间?

  • amazing!!!!

  • I mean, okay it may be that he's a little bit fast, but honestly it really wasn't bad. Even if he rushed it a bit, it still was correctly played. Rythm was right, he hits the right keys, so were's the Problem? Nice Job! At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how fast or slow the piece was played. He did it with some skills and that's all that matters to me. Peace P.S: This piece isn't as hard as everybody claims... Average difficulty of Chopin pieces. It's just tricky, thats all.
  • Nice try, I don't know what to say. It feels like you've pushed your way through this piece. Go back to your roots and play it slowly.

  • QUE GENIO !!

  • great loving your piano skills! ^_^

  • love this song LOL ^^ that anime sure rocks (The Golden Rose 100% Honesty yo) ^^/

  • its to fast .. i think your not putting any emotions here ..

  • sei veramente bravissimo.complimenti.

  • This is so rushed and somewhat lacks emotion.

  • No this is from Nodame Cantabile, a aspiring pianist character in a Japanese Drama/Anime this is how she played Chopin.

  • Skill isn't measured in speed.

  • It's good. But yes, it rushed a little bit....

    Keep on doing your good work Karl :)

  • Don't think you guys know much music theory. Read the first two words in the title.

  • Comment removed

  • Un vrai massacre !! dommage ...Chopin = romantisme .....pauvre impromptu transformee en excercice technique .....Vous avez de la technique mais le plus dur sera de la cacher derriere la sensibilité demandé de CHOPIN grand romantique..

  • It does not have to be so fast, just beautiful. If you know how to produce the sound from the piano it will sound beautiful even at a slow tempo.

  • hey boy, don't need to rush?

    it will be great if you put more feeling in

    good skill!

  • Take a look at this one, amateur too... Close you eyes... you'll se the diference:

    /watch?v=iZDn9Ne-HmI

  • It's so stupid that people is fighting against this. Everybody has a different opinion in EVERYTHING, and music is a taste too. I don't play the piano (I wish I could xD) but I can tell you that you're amazing!!, congrats, you are really talented :) super awesome

  • People who don't even know why the title has "Nodame Cantabile" on it while bitching about his poor performance should just shut up :|

    In case you're all wondering, Nodame Cantabile is an anime about a girl who plays extremely messy, but is incredibly talented at making it sound so good. She plays classic music using her feelings, her own style, her own pace, her own rhythm.

    So in reality, this guy is just letting his feelings play out the piece :|

  • AWESOME!

  • Playing it slower with perfect dynamics is better than the mash-fest of fortissimo chaos that this is now.

  • The left hand is a bit too loud compared to the right and it's just a TAD bit too fast, but overall, I like it ^_^ Good job!

  • Trash

  • i can't blieve it.... it's so fast and cool n awesome !!!

  • WHAT THE FUCK?! o_O

  • so cool...so fantastic....

  • relax my friend, feel it with your heart, not just your fingers.

  • wtf, why is everyone saying it's too fast? that's a PERFECT speed. This song is incredibly beautiful and written to be played like this. Just take a look at the sheet music and you'll know.

    Bravo! You're fabulous!

  • @disneynazar perfect speed? dude please......

  • @disneynazar Lol I think the comment u made seemed a bit ignorant.. this is the perfect speed? Come on, music is not sport, feeling, musicality and dynamics are more important to be considered than just speed. Plus, I admit that this is fast, but everyone can play fast if accuracy and clarity are of no concern. I played this piece last year, so I think I know more about how this piece should be played. He really ruined this piece.

  • Give him a break. Id like to see you sit down at a piano and even ATTEMPT to play this piece.

  • Wow. So fast.

    

  • its too fast and im not sure if its because og the filming but it all just sounds like a very big mess and it s very difficult to listen to it..

  • that piano needs to be tunned really badly.

  • i think i'm infatuated with this guy.

  • jejejeje parece q ta siguiendo a un bus para que no lo deje.

  • Sorry, but this is too fast. Please play it slower with no faults then it would be much bether!

  • he play so fast for wad? is he catching up wif a train???

  • @VirtualHarmonies

    According to my teacher this piece is one of chopin's easiest pieces, I'd say the slightles complexity is the rythmics - on the contrary side; it follows a similar pattern making it incredible predictable, that if you're flexible. I've been playing for 1 year and this's my special piece.

  • @VirtualHarmonies did u feel the melody is all cover up?? last part is damn not smooth man

  • you murdered this piece!!!

  • @BeansGiveMeGas your statement is pure ignorance

  • Comment removed

  • @disneynazar Ignorance??

    i said that because i know.... i played this too...

    so in MY opinion, you didn't do this justice - - where's the soul? it sounds like notes notes notes and not enough music, is what i'm trying to say.

    this is me playing it; tell me what you think: youtube.com/watch?v=GipeJvNa17­k

  • @BeansGiveMeGas he didn´t, this piece is beautifull!!

  • @BeansGiveMeGas Y'know, there's a reason why "Nodame Cantabile" is attached to the title...

    Google "Nodame Cantabile, open the wikipedia page, scroll to plot, and read

  • those notes sounded more like staccatos instead

  • that's funny :) - but true. The whole thing sounds very aggressive and cruel sorry...

  • Comment removed

  • slow down ; you do not have to panic

    AND why do you repeat the part in the middle? never heard before

    BUT really nicely payed like it

  • Sorry, this is really sloppy and there's too much pedal. I suggest practicing this slowly until you have the technique down and can play the notes evenly before playing it at this speed... Glad to see that you have feeling for the piece t hough...

  • . . . it's ok but its not amazing ha. sounded like you were just playing it as fast as possible through memory. needs musicality hah

  • wow youve got skills :D

    and youre hot ;)

  • @fattardd Are you kidding me? That excuse holds no weight in any argument. You don't have to be a great at something to know what someone is doing wrong, though it will undoubtedly help.

  • wow you can memorize that

  • way too fast, seems like the trend for all the Asian kids these days, play really really fast like a run away train without any feelings

  • Comment removed

  • fast forwarding to make it seem you play fast?

  • te falta sentimiento, está muy cuadrada y en la primera parte no se entiende lo que estás tocando tenes que estudiar mas y matizar mas o sea tocar con mas dinámica y a tempo no inventar. el final no es así es en pianisimo (pp) y lento es una obra romántica en fin te falta mucho pero estudiando se logra.

  • You have great feel for music and you do know how to 'sing' as Chopin have always taught his students BUT polish up ur technique a lil' more. Practice with the metronome and with the score (subdivide please. The fast part was in a mess). If possible,get a teacher to work how to do use he pedal properly. It blurs up the music and turns your performance into some sort of cacophony. Other than that not bad an attempt at playing Chopin!

  • I can't help but think his hands look like giant spiders when playing this piece.

  • 不好意思:\ 說個幾句話

    你知道你左手跟右手的節拍完全不同嗎....?

    GOD...整個亂七八糟...連休止符也死掉了

    我覺得蕭邦好像中風了  囧..

  • damn... fuckin awesome...

  • man~ you've got a lot to work on for that piece....

  • Tempo: Presto

    You're going fast then slow when you cant handle it technically.

    Dynamics: cres. and decres.

    where did they go?

    where did the Rit. go?

    Why are there added notes and changed notes?

    Stop the chromatic halfway?

    Holding the sustain pedal and letting it go when you want it?

    That wasn't composed by chopin.

  • @fire785 thank you. this performance is just playing the notes. it's not enough to serve justice to this beautiful piece.

  • you're right when you say, "attempt". Youtube is entertainment not torture. PRACTICE MORE. you are not doing justice to this piece.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree that this is very messy and not very pleasant to listen to, but hey, it's an attempt. I think it's a good try but he has to practice more, I guess.

  • so speed and not with expression ! stop now !

  • man u played like crap

    and you completely ruined the song

  • @theodorehui If you don't have anything nice to say, then refrain from saying anything negative. Constructive criticism would have been better than that blatantly rude remark. He said attempt in his info box--hence why it isn't perfect. It was a good attempt, and perhaps in the future he'll do and astounding performance? =)

  • @boredgurl

    m8 maybe you are right

    it's just heart-breaking & annoying to see one of my most favourite pieces being ruined

    another annoying thing - why do so many people like this video?????

    people on youtube are usually nasty, negative...

    weird, just weird.

  • @theodorehui

    I agree with you.

    It is a bit rough. And he doesn't really have much expressiveness.

    Rubato is something that Chopin used a lot in his pieces, and I have to say that I didn't hear much of it.

    But then again, a good piece overall.

  • There is A bit Messy... I think You Can control This Piece Better.....and  You Are Very HANDSOME!!

  • you're overembellishing like mad, can't keep track of tempo for your life... are you running away from anyone? r ur fingers fugitives that are about to get caught and they run for their life "RUN FOREST RUN". lots of mispedals, playing with flat finger, you shouldn't move ur wrist, any sort of work and force should come from the fingers, all you do is crescendo and crescendo and crescendo. when ur not playin in a concert hall, ur more relaxed and can show alot more of ur skills. u dont.

  • You should use a metronome and count. You're speeding up-a common misktake for fast pieces like this. But not too bad for a piece this hard. Also, you really need to pay attention to tempo markings. In the B section, it is Largo to Moderato Cantabile. Don't make Largo faster than Moderato. Overall, 3/5. Slow practice is really needed, most of all though!

  • From what you hear? There are so many missed notes and mistakes. The timing is horrific and this is the most butchered I've ever heard.

  •  the beginning part-- please do slow practice.

  • mmmm, interesant but... you need more practice. the pedal  envolves the sound, and you need to correct the left hand, good luck.

  • awesume..

  • really nice!! Fantastic!!!!

    Loved IT!

  • haha this is just like nodame, its all over the place and yet its good :D

  • LOL. well. you guys..... it does say Nodame Cantabile in the title. just saying. In the manga Nadame plays very sloppily just sayin'....... lol. but i liked it :)

  • sloppy...

  • te equivocaste... no esta bn.

  • Practice more....

  • *wipes drools off* man this is so cool XD

  • More more !!!!

  • PRACTICE!! i know you can smooth this out better

  • Wow cool :D

  • Electro Fantasy

  • Electro Fantasy...

  • 左右手力量不平均

  • The problems you have are pretty obvious. You are rushing too much to show off your techniques, leaving no room for the expressions Chopin intended. Especially on the second page, the main melody should be shown clearly, and technically speaking the speed should sound approximately the same with the first page.

  • I LOVE THIS Piece!! OMG!! <3

  • for stylistic interpretation, it's different thing, and even if it might be consider as a different style, i think you might have heard the word good style and bad style? I'm not saying here that he's bad or terrible by any means, and please don't put those words on me because i didn't say it or mean it..i'm simply commenting on the fact that a more elegant take should be considered, and especially if this piece will be performed in a serious setting, the result is foreseen.

  • not bad, but the tempo is not exactly what chopan wanted, and theres extra notes repeated unconsciously. work harder and im sure u can add more detail :D

  • lol. if i say i never play the piece would that makes my argument weak and thus become a useless comment? For musicians who studied professionally would be able to tell the problem without actually play it, and he certainly knows what's missing in this piece. If u'd like to hear me playing this piece somehow, i'd really hope i'd have a chance to go back home and record it..and thanks a lot for such a comparison of who's better as the way to makes u sound right and makes my critics sounds wrong.

  • Can u also play Norturne N40 C minor ? and Beethovan...

  • my response is-囧

  • haha!

  • Wow, that's mind blowing...one of my favorite classical pieces, I love Chopin. Very well played!

  • From what I see and hear, it is good. Cos this is simply not playing in a concert hall setting. he is correst to play in this mood cos he is dressing in a non-formal attire. So it fits the mood of this tune. That makes this performance special.

  • personally, I think the way you played was not classic at all, and to certain degree, you really destroy the piece. For Chopin's gorgeous piece like Fantasie Impromptu, it should be more elegant in the sense that one should not rush simply because he can show off his techniques. Especially on the cantabile section, it's more like a reflection of someone's hesitant mind. If you really want to show off more about what you can play, do the more classic Chopin etudes...lol

  • simply Amazing... :)

  • pro pwb

  • GOD. I am falling in love with you. :)

  • no words O.O you're amazing! you keep playing my favorite songs/music xD Thank You.

  • This is very good!

  • Geez I forgot how long ago I heard you play this i just realised u doubled the speed of my own interperatation

  • I listened to your interpretation again without watching the video and I think you surely did a great job after a very short time of practice. I had been practicing this for the longest time and still can't get it to this level. GREAT keep on practicing

  • The sound shit!!!chinese di merda.....

  • I wish I could play this song like you ^____^

  • 刚开始时,你好像有点紧张,弹得有一点不跟节奏,过后就慢慢进入­状况了。

    加油 !希望你能越弹越好。。。^^

  • nope...sry theres no dynamics no pattion you are just like a robot you do not feel the music...

  • Thanks for such a great performance! I love the piece and I enjoy it so much. Please do a lot more. Thanks

  • heading to the VanClyburns! cheers!

  • Good attempt but...more dynamic variation (ie. volume and tempo) would be good though. Make your melody clearer in the climax (it's an octave higher the second time) and at the ending (where the left hand goes into quavers). Ending is too slow, it's marked presto, the part where left hand takes over melody is too fast relatively speaking and the right hand is too loud. Final chords should be softer, they're marked pianisissimo I think.

    Otherwise. yer technique's pretty alright.

    Good job=)

  • Very well played! However you should pump the pedal more evenly in the fast part, and the left hand in the first few measures (1-4) should be faster. Otherwise great. Loved the slow part.

  • BEAUTIFUL

  • Brillant :D

    Chopin is amazing and ur amazing too. !

    When did you start piano playing ?

  • nice...When did you learn piano??

    I think maybe over 10 year...

    Although you are really young,

    should be learn it when you are 3 year old...

  • niceee... :))

    i wish i could play it on that way.. :)

    5 stars.

  • Well played but be careful with the change of the melody it can spot out the fault very quick !! +oil la !!

  • Bravo Bravo 5/5

  • FFFFF you are handsome *first internet Crush*

    Your playing is pro BTW ^////^";;;

  • nice!! :D

  • brillant :)

  • very good

  • :( i dont know to much about piano ! but since i born i heard this tipe of music! but never have the chance to play it ! i think is gorgeous!

  • nice attempt! however it was extremely messy. your right and left hand did not coordinate well together with a 7 to 8 beat rhythm. you entirely miss interpreted Chopin.

  • OK, the pedal was really weird, your left hand didn't seem to flow with your right, you seemed to rush through it but the biggest problem for me was 1:06- 2:30. Just work more on your dynamics and feeling the music. I think you could do really good with this song

  • I adore Chopin! My favourite composer! You play excellent! *****

  • u playy the piano soo well :D 5 STARS aha

  • U're reli doin a great job,I n my fren both admire u.

  • OO ur right hand and left r outa sync for some parts... inconsistent tempo, and ur pedallings screwed... and dynamics r pretty much non-existent

  • Awesome, just awesome!!!!!!

  • good

  • Great :):)

  • Excellent!

  • Very good!!!

    *.*:)

  • very good, nice *****

  • Karl , You play wonderful and I am very impreesed , All stars available for you My friend !!!!

    Sir Mange of Sweden.....

  • Muy bonito.5*****

  • Excellent, wow, I Love Chopin& you play wonderful,Thanks

  • Karl, you never stop amazing! Brilliant..... 5 *****

  • 0:25 ~ 0:28... wtf? Go listen to the original song?

    Speed isn't everything, express your emotions too and the use of pedal wasn't good at all.

  • Well Done >:-)

  • awesomely played.......keep it up buddy!

  • 终于露脸了啊,真是个可爱的弟弟! ^^

    弹的不错!多多练习,继续努力!

  • I ADORE THIS SONG 8DD
