@icefishy2003 I have indeed - maybe I should do something more useful with my time! Thanks for your kind comment.

[allroundgirl123]

Fantastic! A beautiful piece, very well played!

[PSearPianist]

@allroundgirl123 Thank you very much!

[anti7895]

Do you think you rushed the piece a bit? (went to fast?)

[PSearPianist]

@anti7895 I was happy with the tempo when I made the video. If I did the piece again today it might be different...

[spottedleaf184]

how long did you practice ? this you play well

[PSearPianist]

@spottedleaf184 Thank you. I can't remember how long I worked on it - several hours I would expect!

好厲害喔

[PSearPianist]

@iris06180 非常感谢您！

[air54913]

this song is awesome

[PSearPianist]

@air54913 Indeed!

[PSearPianist]

@ISMAEL9963 No es un difícil sonatina, pero plantea problemas de articulación y elegir el tempo correcto!

[95CDQ15]

You sometimes lose your tempo (you suddenly go too fast) and to my opinion there is not enough constrast between pp - p - mf - f - ff, etc.

But I like your performance, it's great. :)

[PSearPianist]

@95CDQ15 Thank you. I am probably guilty of the odd tempo change - and the dynamics are compromised by the recording process (which I have improved in the meantime)!

[IHelpNexon]

your month keeps moving lol but i still like it

[PSearPianist]

@IHelpNexon Thank you - I will have to watch that!

[Jonern67]

Good video Phillip, of course, there are a lot of opinions about the tempo on this piece. Someone like it slow, and someone alse like it slow. I definately think the tempo you are playing at, is the best. I think it should be that fast. Very well played! Thumbs up.

[PSearPianist]

@Jonern67 Thank you. Of course I can only play at the tempo that feels right to me!

[cocofath]

its to fast but ok

[PSearPianist]

@cocofath Thanks - I like it at this speed!

[HaZeSniperTeam]

This in incredible! learning this piece now and just started on the 3rd movement, its still alittle sloppy but im working at it. Thanks for the Great video, keep up the good work!! :)

[PSearPianist]

@HaZeSniperTeam Glad you found the video useful. I wish you every success in your study of the piece!

[PSearPianist]

@MrSeanRivers That's great. I hope your spring concert is a big success!

[magicaquageneral1997]

By the way, can you please delete the comment's replies that were for me? Thank you.

[PSearPianist]

@magicaquageneral1997 I'll leave it there in case it might be helpful to someone else.

[magicaquageneral1997]

Thank you for the website. Although it had helped a lot, I still have some questions.

Anyway, thank you for all your help.

[PSearPianist]

@magicaquageneral1997 That's a pleasure.

[PSearPianist]

@magicaquageneral1997 I don't teach piano - you would need to have lessons with someone living near you. However for the counting, have a look at Musictheory[dot]net website. That explains time signatures and other basics of theory and I am sure you will find it helpful.

[magicaquageneral1997]

Was that the actual tempo? That was fast and great. I listen to it a lot of times. Thank you.

[PSearPianist]

@magicaquageneral1997 Thank you - I'm glad you like it! It was certainly the tempo I played at, and thought appropriate for the piece - I did not speed the video up!

[BananaPotatoCucumber]

That was beautiful.

[PSearPianist]

@BananaPotatoCucumber Thank you!

[GreenCertains]

Another masterpiece work!! You're really great!!

[PSearPianist]

@GreenCertains That's really kind!

[PSearPianist]

@KV467 That's a compliment indeed!

[cescobeppe]

extremely pleasant execution!

[PSearPianist]

@cescobeppe Thank you!

[apoman1993]

you seem to have a peaceful life without any concerns, just playing piano, i wish i end up like you, calm...survive the storm.excellent performance by the way !

[PSearPianist]

@apoman1993 Thank you. Maybe for 'peaceful' read 'boring' - but I do some paid work as well as playing these pieces for my YouTube channel!

[wenkai31]

This song is easy, try out slowly first!!!!!!! The trills should be done only after you 'tense' your fingers' muscles (INTENTIONALLY)

[TweetyRock1]

I was also wondering, do u have any tips on how to get better at doing reeeally long trills? My fingers tend to "cramp" or stiffen quickly :(

[TweetyRock1]

This is the second piece I learned to play when I started piano. My teacher was convinced I was good while I thought I sucked, lol. Then I did this piece in a school concert... my passion for piano started then :) So much fun playing a fun and happy song!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you for your interesting comment. This is wonderful music to play at any age or stage of learning piano! Re trills, I don't think very much about how I play them - but I do keep a very free wrist.

[TweetyRock1]

@PSearPianist Okay, thanks! :)

[Babejuda]

I would suggest to slow it just a tiny little bit, however - it sounds excellent also in that tempo. Bravo!

[PSearPianist]

Thanks - I guess that I tend to go for fast tempi to make these pieces sparkle on my modern piano (as best I can!).

[jannarta]

For myself, it brings back memories of hours at the piano in the Music Room and then I was called up into the R.N. Happy days nevertheless; well done. jannarta.

[PSearPianist]

I think this piece brings back memories of long-ago practice for many of us!

[Danilmalinov]

Very good!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you!

[Jennymusicrock]

sure brings back memories...great job!

[PSearPianist]

Thanks - it bought back memories to me as

I played it!

[HunterEtan]

Sounds funny! *haha*

Thanks ;)

[PSearPianist]

Well, it doesn't make me laugh, but

it is a jolly piece!
