[MrRockster3]

I'm 10 and i'm on grade 4

yet I thought I was great!

[Ypipable]

Tommy deserves a choir.

[Ray0X0]

Tommy, I'm not lying when I say that the one I've heard playing before this sonata so beautiful, expressive, and brightly was the great Claudio Arrau.

Actually, I was surprised by your performance.

[hjzitc2010]

Awsome!!

[Darkboy2525]

Well you got another fan with you, WOUW WOUWWWWWWWWWW

[sjymusic1]

fantastic! such mature playing!

[nico13112008]

Awesome!

I play this sonata now too but I'm 17 years old xD

[12345qazx1]

I think conservatory students would be tackled by this performance!

[lllllllllllllll88]

You're NINE???? Omg! You sound so PROFESSIONAL! That's amazing! The Pathetique is so difficult. You are a natural born genius. Now how many times have you heard that? How BIG is your head right now? jk!

You're wonderful. I hope you made recordings. You will go very far with your genius.

[AnqingX]

OMG!! VERY GOOD!!

He's tall for his age though.

[heunggongyan]

This is one of my favourite pieces. I get more pleasure listening to Tommy play because I know he is a really nice, pleasant guy who has a good active school life as well as playing piano. This is a blessing Tommy, take care of yourself, keep enjoying all aspects of your life as well as your music. Miss Rose

[jbjcjb]

Wow that was incredible, an absolute joy to listen to. X

[ThePVGS1]

EXCELLENT!

[LarsenPiano]

Great job - good color and dynamic contrasts and very clean!

[ThePVGS1]

I thought I'd never say this, but I like it even better than Barenboim's!

[nico13112008]

well done :)

It's my favourite piece of the sonata

[nico13112008]

Wow :D

great...I can't say anything....

wunderful!

I hope that I could play in a few years like you ;)

[jasena09]

Wonderful, Tommy..!

I'm amazed..

Thanks.

[movebyleap]

Fantastic! You are amazing! One of my all time favourite pieces!!

[japanesesen]

BEAUTIFUL!! :D

[gerardbedecarter]

A wonderful performance, Tommy!

You chose a fast tempo for this "allegro" movement, but it worked - the triplet semiquavers fitted in nicely.

I personally prefer a slower tempo - listen to Claudio Arrau's recording.

[beethovenof08]

This is an absolutely brilliant performance! I love this sonata and you executed it very well! Bravo! And so young... wow!

[fluiera]

Excelenta ...

Your movements are so in tone with the melody.

Aplauze...lots of them

[jjrcz021]

I loved it! Wonderful

[roxysmusix]

Wow, you're sooo talented.

Amazing

[abhikmazumder]

Tommy, this is fantastic. By far, one of the best I have heard. I know that you have home videos of the other two movements as well, but did you play them at this concert also?

[pianistboy2000]

Splendid performance! i can't wait to watch the first two movs. from you.

[Cheung853]

Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tommy!

[Benspiano]

Great job! I think you played this almost perfectly! It sounds like a professional recording to me. Keep up the great work!

[dexiuxian]

Amazing job! Great style! I only suggest you take your time to breathe alittle more but thats a small thing. Great job!!!

[asorescu]

Stylish performance, deep understanding of polyphony, steady and consistent tempo, great sense of drama at the end. Congratulations!

[danielleosimpson]

Brilliant! I really like the style and "delivery" - 5 stars!

Magnifique !

[andyleo88]

Nice performance Tommy!

[Dancsins]

Great!

[dhfeld]

Played with great classical sensibility. Some people prefer a lower speed for this movement. I don't. I think this is the perfect tempo to express the passion that comes out in the both the slower and melodic parts as well as the in the repeated initial theme. Great job.

[NoemiAuroraeco]

Only 9 years...great performance!

[sungatech]

amazing performance and so young a pianist~

[nyrkkuroda]

our family is a big fan of yours!

[pcleo123]

[Benspiano]

I love this video! This song is so difficult and you nailed it! Bravo!

[blueyoyi]

this is profound giftedness...

[clownassi]

Uncle Georges is really proud of you

[cmplin]

Amazing performance at 9yrs old.

[Kittypiano]

You're one of my favorite young pianist on Y/T.

Good job indeed!!!

[RespectedEnt]

Amazing!!

Only 9 years old, he played so confident, mature, and musical.

[PianoKidElaine369]

Astonishing!!! Expression is great!!!

[sywuu]

Amazing for a 9 year-old. Bravo!

[OldRabit]

Excellent job! Beautifully done, we both enjoyed your performance.

[samuelngkee]

Great performance!!!!!5*****

[occy8]

Phenomenal!

[pianogirl98]

What a wonderful performance! You are very relented, Tommy!

[klingsor93]

This performance, coming from a nine year old, is absolutely fantastic. I don't think I have heard much better in that age category.....and in any age category. In fact, this is, technically and musically,

as excellent as many professionals......Tommy, I

congratulate you warmly.......

[Pianoloverok]

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[italco312]

Absolutely brilliant, Tommy!!

[paulchiu]

i love the concentration.

the focus and the posture is disciplined

now about the audio

the mike has to be placed closer to the steinway next time. or use a wireless mike on tommy and mix it with the one on the camera.

time to invest in a schoeps or sennheiser shotgun type.

tommy's range now needs to be captured with the best mikes, for all of us to enjoy.

Fabulous! This is such a powerful performance! Randomly, I can't believe how tall Tommy has grown. He's probably taller than me already, from the look of it. I heard two 9 year olds performing yesterday and they were half his height and had half his skill (though they were both still talented).
