Haydn Sonata in E-flat (Hob XVI/28), Charlie (8) in recital

[miranda12033]

in fact, he skip many ornaments

Is this the sonata Charlie won the Steinway Scholarship competition with? I'm not surprised... If this is how well he played it in November, I can only imagine how much he could have improved!

Thanks & yes, it's this piece. But he stopped playing it after this performance until Feb. 2009, when he had to make a recording for the audition. Then stopped again until close to the competition. But yeah, he did improve, and tonight he did a wonderful job at the NJMTA High Honors recital on this piece.

His musical maturity is amazing.

Hi Charlie,

You're a musical genius

[coffeetea]

Thanks Ben!

Spectacular performance! In spite of slacking off on the practice. LOL! We'll forgive you this time, Charlie, just don't ever stop. I still want those front row tickets for your first performance at Carnegie Hall. :-)

Moosie

[coffeetea]

Hehe, a real performance? That'd be THE day. :)

But if any performance counts, Charlie already played in Carnegie Hall (Weill Recital Hall) back in May after winning AFAF. He'll play there again in Dec. (this time in Zankel Hall after winning the Cecilian).

[coffeetea]

Thanks as always!

[pianoOBBSESED]

Very nice refinement and sensitive play. Agree with previous comments, very matural beyond your age. Great job.

[coffeetea]

Thanks much!

[italco312]

Charlie,

You are a master in the making. Maturity well beyond your years.  Beautifully done.

[coffeetea]

Glad that you like it!

[MusicDoLove]

Yeah! That's really very nicely polished. In view of your info, it's a sign of greatness that he played it so well in spite of having less time to practice it. Keep up the excellent work, Charlie!

[coffeetea]

Thanks much for your kind words!

[pianogirl4ever]
