All my jelly

[deepakgola1]

kill me now!!! so that i could learn piano from very first moment in my next life ..

[FirstGentleman1]

Supreme Master!

[phipeli1]

this piano suite is truely amazing ... The promenade theme is just superb, and all the other movement are so different from each other but each is really interesting. You can't imagine someone composing such a genius piece in just a few month especially when you hear the last movement, which is the most beautiful movement. I'm practising since 3 days now and I must say that it isn't a too difficult piece.

[DerAffeMitWaffe93]

Some of his facial expressions remind me of Angus Young. :D

[pianomanrsn01]

He starts out way too fast and leaves behind much of the beauty of this piece. It was written to be played energetically, but the tempo need not be speeded up like this. This is one of the worst renditions I have heard from perhaps 50 that I have listened to. If you want to hear it played correctly, check out Victor Merzhonov's recording. The live performance Merzhonov did in the Great Hall is technically correct, but the audio is horrible.

[F14Lolcat]

:O Amazing

[89dan98]

wow! this piece looks extremely demanding and he plays it like perfectly...Kissin is one of my favorite pianists, simply amazing

[ErikthePhantomOpera]

i am a very depressed person right now...i just started playing this on piano, and after a couple days i can play the first few lines slowly with only, say, five mistakes? :) this guy is AMAZING. awesome!

[swingballbros]

Seriously dude, I've been trying to play it for a couple of years - and I can't even come close... I'm sure you'll be amazing in a few weeks :)

[ErikthePhantomOpera]

thanks...doesn't seem likely, but...thanks! makes me feel happy...and I'M sure you're a whole lot better than me...after a couple of years, you have to be pretty damn good...

[Dirte111]

@swingballbros

6 months and i still wouldn't dare try to perform it

[ColdBlodedAnimal]

@ErikthePhantomOpera i can play one whole page slowly No mistakes started 3 days ago (My mom is a Piano Teacher Thats why)

[ErikthePhantomOpera]

@ColdBlodedAnimal well...bleah. :P yeah, your mom being a piano teacher probably has a lot to do with it...

[Nanashi123]

HE HAS CRAZY HAIR

[potassiumchlorate]

Excellent performance.

[J3nnPK]

wow

[DrBoom5150]

FEROCIOUS Baba Yaga! If he didn't have so much control, it would just be fast, but he completely owns the dynamics.

[PianoCriticsKiller]

Boom5150 - SURPRISE! It's SUPPOSED to be fast. Duh? Your slow little mind couldn't follow fast enough?

This was OUTSTANDING!

[munkustrap79]

LoL

[mike38992]

i call him crazy hands :D (good way)

[PianoCriticsKiller]

CREATIVEmastWork, you have the WRONG name, you obviously know nothing about great works. Especially, since you have CARTOON videos! LOL!

You should have just remained quiet, because by opening your big, fat mouth, we all now KNOW how ignorant you are about the classics so STFU, moron.

[PianoCriticsKiller]

CMW, btw, stick to CARTOONS and leave classical piano music to the intellectuals, you idiot moron. You don't have to listen. stay off the classical videos and watch YouTube cartoons.

[CREATIVEmasterWork]

Well then mr. Intellectual, I did just asume that everyone has a right to say what they want, and as an "intellectual", you should know better

[liszt100]

i agree that CMW is a douche....but classical piano is not only for "intellectuals"....it is something that everyone has the right to listen and enjoy.

[PianoCriticsKilller]

liszt100, Yes, but since he's a douche, he should just LISTEN and ENJOY! That was really my point. He should stop making stupid, rude comments, and just pay attention and enjoy the music. I said "intellectuals" because he sounded like an idiot. It was really to give it back to him.

[Umby64]

CMW, you're completely mentally fucked up, stick to cartoons that's a better thing for all of us

[CLASSICAListheWAY]

He's amazing.

[ChrisWatch]

awsome.

[gjeacocke]

More thought provoking when the previous movement is added. As this changes the viciousness of the music as intended.

[sh5105]

Thank you! I've wanted someone to do this forever (/since I started playing great gate) I've had that same frustration.
