Fantasia in C minor, BWV 906

[FunPublic]

i am learning this piece too, it is even better on a church organ, I noticed that when you started with the second part from G it became slightly slower than when you started but you are very impressive

[drippinblood28]

im 16 and playing this lol, but I'm also playing chopin etude #2

[jwabacus]

@drippinblood28 Yes - it's a GREAT piece. I've recorded it three times on YouTube and this one - the first one - is just after I started learning it and leaves a lot to be desired. My last YouTube version was at my recital a month ago (the whole recital will shortly be on YouTube - I have two studies left to do). It's a lot better than this initial recording. I'll be 16 in a four months or so. I love all of Chopin's Etudes (and how hard they are!). I play Op10. #7. Good luck and thanks!

[drippinblood28]

@jwabacus haha nice, i've played like many of chopin's etudes. I've played #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 22. They're too much fun to learn and play! Maybe I can post some of them up some time if I'm not lazy

[joshisrad]

mighty sloppy.

[ghillier1]

@joshisrad - Mighty non-insightful comment. Perhaps you have suggestions on how to improve without being so deprecatory. After all, he's only 13; he has lots to learn for this style of playing and has probably already improved this.

[GrubbyTubby]

oh snap i'm learning this song too! you're so good.

[averyjays]

Is there a way to find the music for this online? I need it for an auditon but I can't afford to go out and buy it, even if I could I live nowhere near a music store. Any help would be appreciated!

[freddagenais]

holy fuck respect bro... im 19 and im learning this live... its hard as fuck lol

[lacrthxx14]

very good you play the piano very well this piece is hard and fast

[jklmnop9999]

i just started this piece for rcm grade 10 too! who wouldve thought so many people chose this song to play? lol

[mullahsoutnow]

very good... it's just not balanced enough... i sense a technical struggle when you play... practice hard... and i truly wish you all the best! :)

[qysan]

Very Good

[AvrilP43]

Outstanding playing. Thank you for sharing this.

[speedstakerguy]

shit... i feel so crap at piano now... im 13 and a month old and im only going into grade 7/8 piano.. ill be 15 by the time i start grade 10..

[jwabacus]

Hey - don't put yourself down. Life is hard enough without being hard on yourself as well. Unfortunately I don't work hard enough all the time either; there is so much to do that piano practice sometimes gets pushed under the rug. You'll succeed by just keeping at it regularly.

[speedstakerguy]

lol :P thanks

[angelpauline1]

Atleast you're going up.... I haven't even stepped in grade 3 and i'm 14... 15 in a week at that. I'm not fond of reading sheet music, i'd rather play by ear. Keep It UP!!!!!

[lifelivedthroughme]

this is awesome. im also doing this piece for Grade 10 RCM. i just started. :)

[ra4419]

Again, impressive playing; watch that hands are strictly together the last couple of bars. I really enjoyed this.

[ElmAtkinson]

Outstanding playing!  I really enjoyed watching this.

[kallen1999]

WOW!

[GregAnthus]

Wonderful Bach playing.

[PianoGirl160]

THis is amazingg and you're at a very high level congratzz :)

i'm 15 and i'm only in grade 9 piano lol.

keep up the great work!

[PeterU1949]

I've heard this many times - and seen it performed on occasion - but from afar. It's really nice to see your hands up close! Especially at 1:55 with the positioning of the hands. WELL-DONE!

[Marmac1938]

Outstanding......what dexterity. I am in awe of your talent!!!

[turtlezilla9]

INSANE!!!!

This is INSANE!!!!!

[PressF5forHelp]

As requested I listened to Tatiana Nikolayeva.

Yes, there are some differences but in my opinion you're getting pretty close already, at least as far I can hear with my simple ears. :)

I find your performances quite outstanding, certainly for a young guy like you,

A good thing, again in my opinion is that you listen to others and try to learn from it.

5 stars from me!

[SuzieMac4]

Absolutely excellent Bach playing!

[funkymangomonkey221]

wow...

that is amazing :]

you play beautifully

[qzpt84]

Ahhh Bachhhh... Love the mans compositions and (as per usual) you play another exceptional performance. Excellent job! Love the outtakes too! ;)

[jennifercrothers]

You keep getting better and better! Excellent!

[SandyWalters]

What is there to NOT like about BACH? This is wonderful playing! I'm very impressed. Keep up the great work, Josh!

[atesla199]

What a fantastic piece, wonderfully played.

[Hockeyman63]

You are so amazing! Your playing...wow...I can't find the right words!

[LutzKranenborg]

Beautifully played Josh! You are well on your way to become a great pianist. Best wishes, Ben

[al4319]

WOW - you blow me away! Truly excellent playing.

[David9851]

Wonderful ! ! Josh , you are a very, very talented pianist and I  really enjoy your presentations !

[tituscaesar]

absolutely marvellous playing, josh! who is teaching you to play so well? the ghost of tatiana herself? haha she would be so proud of you:)

excellent! 5 stars !! *****

P.S. liked how you overpronounced "bacHHH" lol

[Xtrem3Poptarts]

amazing, i can not even compare myself to your mesmerizing piano skills! it would be awesome if you played some stuff like children of bodom. those guys are insane on keyboard, but its metal.

Great Job 5/5.

[jwabacus]

THANKS for your kind words. I'm learning some popular pieces now ... stay tuned as I'm going to post them soon too.

[Xtrem3Poptarts]

Don't worry I will be ;)

[dragonfirefoxx]

very cool man, love it!

[RayAtkinson9]

Me too! Bach was an incredible musician. Especially loved the "HD" mode on this video.
