Annie plays Debussy's Prelude La fille aux cheveux de lin

[58pianos]

I never tire of hearing Annie play.

[tyj1020]

Absolutely beautiful! Annie! We love Debussy's music, we love watching you play them!



[crobc1]

Holy smokes this is good!

[Futurewriterwitch]

@OldRabit HELLO ANNIE!

This is your friend who likes cheese. =) You played the piece really well!

Have you played Debussy's Reverie? It's Grade 9 level so you probably played it a while ago. But if you have, and if it's on youtube, can you please give me the link? Thanks!

-You know who....teehee

[rpcjt]

Such refined and elegant playing, Annie! Thanks so much for posting and sharing, Janet, and much affection from the Philippines :)

[SuperLuckydream]

Wonderful  interpretation!

[PhilPhilUSA]

This performance gives us pause... such a formidable, 'innate' understanding of this piece is not learned - it is felt. I, personally speaking, can see no other rational explanation for such an interpretation.These things, like all divine gifts, are ineffable? Bravo!!!

[xxxramminsteinxxx]

Veeeeeeeeeeeeery gooood!!!

That is the very best interpretation what i see and she have just 8 old age.

just awesome!

From Brazil! thanks!

[PhillipLWilcher]

Annie - you are a dream! What a gifted musician!

[ssprokofiev]

She plays it better than Debussy himself! Bravo! I was just listening to his recording here on YouTube--it lacked sensitivity and was rushed throughout. Her performance is incredible for an 8-year-old.

[superlame64]

@ssprokofiev may i have the link to the one played by debussy himself?

[AzNBuDdHa4]

@ssprokofiev wow i didn't know you could record music in the 1890s... it's a cover buddy

[jasena09]

That was absolutely fantastic!!

A well deserved congratulations!

[Pianoloverok]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[manthasagittarius]

Yes, she has quite a range: Bach, Chopin, Debussy -- and a sensitive understanding of all of them. She really has it -- much luck and support to her as her career unfolds!

Annie is 10 by now -- I hope they will abandon the "little girl" look with the pigtails soon, unless Annie herself is attached to it.  Several comments on these boards remark on how jarring (or even contrived -- not true!) her mature interpretations are in light of her youth. She can look young and still not "little girl".

[Heliqiong]

Very beautiful!!

[sebastianrc]

I was so uselees at that age, she's wonderful though, great interpretation

[paolofanzaga]

[mitaibiru]

[bassoostenuto1]

Annie, you play beautifully, such a refined tone in Debussy. Bravo!

[DreamerLaboratory]

Fantastic performance,very Beautiful !

Wishing she all success this year.

[supposed2Bdoingmath]

I am completely blown away. I've been in piano longer than she's been alive and this is the hardest piece I've ever played! Imagine what she'll be able to do in 10 years!

Hi Twinkle117, Annie has been playing piano for about five and half years, till she played this piece. Thank you!

[pianogirl98]

Soooo beautifully played!

Annie, you are amazing!

[KidMusician]

Annie, we love you !

Beautiful playing !!

[chemny]

Lovely <3 I find most of the child piano players here in YouTube somehow a bit "cold" (the maybe play technically right but their heart is somewhere else). But this little girl is totally different. She is technically good but also so passionate and playing from the bottom of her heart. I'm her greatest fan :)

[ANTONIVSLVCIVS]
