  • Slower.. more feel... i think you rushed it ... AYAYAYA kid!!...

  • pretty good but it isn't the same as the piano battle

  • Your Op. 64 No. 2 - you DEFINITELY need to slow that sucker down. You play like an Asian robot. Compare your performance to that of Evgeny Kissin and learn.

    watch?v=RV-l8GG_mEs

  • we're you playing fast because you were nervous? i get that too. it happens, but you'll get the hang of it. good job.

  • It's really nice, I love how fast it is ~ :D

  • Nicely done, you're at a nice level.

    What I find strange is that when someone is at a nice level of playing an instrument he/she gets a lot of negative comments. When someone really can't play then it's "well done, wish I could play like that etc". I'm not saying the comments are incorrect. Anyway keep up the good work!

  • @xpwieki

    watch this: watch?v=RV-l8GG_mEs and compare the differences between the two performances. He has the TECHNICAL know-how, but he lacks the emotional depth and the dynamic range that this song commands of him. I'm sure that he is MORE than capable of (re)producing it, but he needs to produce it in the first place.

  • @alpha754293 you're illustrating my point exactly :-) First, I absolutely agree on the fact that this performance lacks the emotional depth and dynamic range. However what I'm trying to say is that people who have a some years experience on their instrument and show this, commenters compare it always with the big names. But when someone can't hardly play a note on Youtube he or she gets lots of compliments. Just my 2 cents.

  • @xpwieki Well...there are probably others out there that play it beautifully. That's the beauty of YouTube - to make a LOT of people aware of otherwise unknown performers/artists. Having said that though, I've done speed/cannonball runs too on songs. (Usually +10%). That way, it's to play/practice/blast through it so that when I get nervous, I'll normally slow down anyways...but I haven't tried it with this piece...yet.

  • @alpha754293 Indeed, the great advantage of youtube is, that I can listen to pieces of music (in this case Chopin) before I practice the songs. Although Chopin is a (perhaps too) great challenge for me.

  • @xpwieki @karlng88 should probably have listened to the song on YouTube before playing it ;o)

  • no feeling

  • STOP HITTING THE PEDAL like it's worth nothing! You wasted the piece completely! Technique is not equals dynamics. YUCK.

  • I wish my hands were as big as yours...

  • I don't know a bit about classic music about piano and about Chopin and I don't know if he played the right note and the right tempo but until I watched this performance did I fall in love with classic music, with piano and with Chopin.

  • inconsistent tempo .. u_u its sounds irritating.. because the tempo keeps changing.so. his left and right hand dont clash together :)

  • inconsistent tempo .. u_u

  • too fast, dude :)

  • damn it....it too fast for me to even enjoy the melodies!

  • more emotion please

  • Since I can't play piano for crap: THAT WAS AWESOME!!! (: Keep it up!

  • maaan keep cool when youre playing :D

  • the piano cries badly for tuning. :(

  • exellant ... bravo

  • sounds like u r bashing da piano or something...

  • You Are Very Good. that was beautiful ^ . ^

  • we all know you can play, no need to be speedy gonzalez to prove that.....sorry, doesn't work for me.

  • where's the improv part? D:

  • Bit slower... XDDD

    Listen to cubusdk's version to get a better idea... =P

    Play softer and slower... =D It doesn't help that your piano's so bright though.  =l

  • Awesome!!

  • Gear down big shifter! This is suppose to be a lovely waltz played I'd say way slower than this. Other than that fantastic

  • slow down Chief !!

  • 蕭邦啊。。。。。。。。

  • is the piano in correct tune?

  • Karing888: First I applaud you for your ability to play at such a level and secondly to record it and brave enough to show it to the public.

    My honest opinion are; You seemed have rushed it at the start and at some other points. There were some parts where I felt could have played a bit softer. The parts where I thought that was suppose to be rush should be done at a moderate and accelerated pace. I would have thought the new classicals would have alot more mood swings. :) good job!!!!

  • it sucks!!

  • Comment removed

  • too fast. too bad!

  • chopin music is shit .

  • @Elopierek If you don't respect Chopin, then you must be pompous towards music.

  • @Elopierek you are, get the fuck out

  • jay chou secret ? You are idiot .

  • At the beginning is good actually, it is your style. But when the slow part..U are so rude!!

  • Slow down just a bit and you will be great nothing like a great melody for a great teacher

  • its good but you rush the fast parts which make it sound uneven

  • slow down! play it slow until prefect then speed up, right hand in the beginning not right, rest good! don't pound the keys! treat like tender loving.........

  • slow down! play it slow until prefect then speed up, right hand in the beginning not right, rest good!

  • Are you in a hurry? The whole piece is not in Fortissimo.

  • soooo fast @@

  • 额,,就是有的地方结束时,可能踩下damper比较好吧

  • Just luvin' your piano Vibes karIng888 and thankin' our buddy Mario for the AWESOME share! = )

  • sorry ,I don;t like it..I think u play it a little bit fast..and also ur hands are so tough..I hope u appriciate my opinion:)

  • is this hard??

  • what movement did you go into at 1:04

  • what movement did you go into at 1:04

  • fucked the piece up haha

  • Too fast in my point of view..:) It would be so much better if you could work on harmony :)...It is a Chopin's piece after all

    The most important thing in piano is not the technique itself ...

    It is a romantic piece ...therefore, feelings have to be expressed no matter what !

    I'm sure you are good but that piece is just marvellous...it need to be felt deeply

    Good luck ...:)

  • ganda grabe!!!!!!!!!!!!! thumbs up!

  • Well, u r talking about the speed all the time... Like on the description u said black key is the fastest u can do... I just don't suggest u rush through the whole piece in order just to tell people : "look, I can play jay chou's piano pieces" jay chou's piano skills r not even considered good compared to the real pianists, and I hope u can get rid of that and learn some emotions and feelings to reach what people call "true music"..

  • My humble opinion: i'm sure you very good at playing Jazz & Pop, just that this is a romantic period piece, and you're banging the keys (honest comment)...

    Assuming you wanna do a Jay Choy cover then that's fine, but the score you're playing from is the original version, so i think you gotta stick to a more romantic style.

  • Playing music is no matter of technique.. Its JUST music..The technique just has to follow it and if some notes ares missed I ll say ok thats not a big deal, but this is NOT music

    Listen to some real pianist such as Rubinstein who about some so called virtuoso pianists said somethiing like 'I could never play what they d, this is impressive, but When are they going to play music?"

    Anyway nice technique, but please don't destroy Chopin like this.. Try Czerny... this needs less feelings..

  • Um. Im not trying to be mean here.

    Ok. You are just trying to imitate those two guys from movie, "secret."

    I'm impressed with your swing technique and how fast you can go.

    But its not the speed that makes your song good.

    When you listen to it carefully. Because of the speed. you miss bunch of harmonies. Like its off beat. You hav to make it better by just feeling your heart. passion.

  • He was desperate for sumthing people don't dis-encourage him lol just tell him what to do but never criticize ...

  • Heuu and jay chou part? Where is it? You have technique but you must to work on sensations.

  • rushing for plane..

  • ohh God! how to destroy Chopin...

  • very bad play. gg.

  • Is this a joke? How could you have such a good techinque and play this bad? I'm so sorry for you, so much time wasted...

  • Too fast.

    And fast doesn't mean quality.

    Just because you play fast that doesn't mean you play with quality.

    You make me remenber that top music school where kids play piano the whole day and when they are tired they sleep under de piano ;)

    They play fast but don't play with feeling, at least many of them not

  • feel the piano be the piano dont ram the piano im serious

  • beautiful !! o.o

    i'm impressed !! :O

    <3

  • Ewwwwww

  • nice tech.

    your understanding need to be improved tho

  • beautiful hands,.. wish i have hands like yours... lol.. i wanna know how to play piano... haha.. too bad i dont know.. :(

  • As others said, the technique is quite good, but it could use just a little more emotion.

    Just a personal question though: what's the best way to improve your technique to that point?

  • yea. i think it's bcos he's using his wrist and arm too often

  • very "clunky", ok job though, practice ;) ganbatte! ^^,

  • good job good job, where can i find music sheets? :D

  • @swchoi89 hamienet

    

  • wow you have beautiful hands..!!

  • to give you from 1-10 Id give you 20

  • what's with the haters?... wth lol... if you can play it better give us a link... pff

  • whoah. where can i get the music to this? i need to start practicing now or i won't be able to play it before i die...

  • fuckk this shit, you fucking ruined the beauty of the fucking song

  • You're good. You play a bit too heavily though. The sudden tempo change is accurate though.

  • This is so beautiful.. NOT! :(

  • OMFG!!

  • MEN!!! you play execellemt!!! but you don't feel it.

    Where's the passion?

  • I don't like the way you speed up the notes in the 1/3 of the video, sound like the notes suddenly go crazy

  • Well, this is how Jay Chou played the part of the piece so the interpretation is correct in that regard. Especially since Jay Chou is included in the video title.

  • u need to have feelings in order to play well.ur tempo is wrong.need more practice.and do not RUSH.play it slowly if u are not familar with the notes.trust me although i am only 10 years old

  • Nice!^^

  • i dunno why u people are dissing this so much, i think its good :x

  • is this a sheet?

  • brilliant technique, but dotafreak is partly correct. it does seem to lack feeling

  • this is totally sux man. the timing and feeling is all wrong.

  • AMAZING WISH I COULD PLAY LIKE THAT

  • i am so gonna learn this one.

    great interpretation of it, man :D

  • Well, it depends on how you feel that piece to be interpreted. Personally, I DO like this tempo. Part Più mosso I play even more faster... Good job, man!!!

  • no feelings..do concentrete on dynamics.. tempo is weird sometimes

  • I'm playing Chopin from this book called the Joy of Chopin, and I'm trying to learn the second piece... if anyone has the same book? anyone plz tell me the name it is like a waltz... I'm 13!!!! =]

  • this is really unimaginable. not in a good way though, im sorry to say. how did chopin's waltz in b minor mutate until this state?!!

  • magnifique

  • sorry to break your number of 333 text coments but this one gave me chills... one of my fav pieces. cheers

  • cool, I like that because it shows like improvising a little bit like I do with my work. To get to my work type in MrJdude123 to see me doing Für Elise on the piano.

  • too fast

  • i like chopin

    Rod from rio de Janeiro - Brasil

  • Brasileiros tbm curtem Chopin, claro!!!

  • after the chorus played in the movie is there a trill intended in the song?

  • nicely done. but too technical.

  • amazing xx

  • 裝飾音做的好漂亮。

  • really nice job. maybe a bit too fast. the piece is supposed to be fast but ur rushing still

  • I play this piece and you are rushing. and when you rush, u make mistakes. but you are almost there!

  • no feeling at all... like a march!!! :(((

    and the fast parts are with mistakes... why to play so fast then??? :(

  • Karl! This is fantastic! I like it a lot. but, where are the dynamics? I just love this song, I wish only that you would upload a version with better dynamics.

  • damn....you do it well;)perfect!

  • I know it is supposed to be loud, but there must still be some dynamics..

  • same here karl. that was not bad at all it was pretty good.

    but remember, the hardest part about a piano song is emotions expressed.

    in the movie The secret, the emotions expressed is the rush and roulette, and very eccentric,and very well prepared.

    good job. i loved it.

  • I love you :D ;D xD

    love you playing the piano

  • Wow, marry me! lol I've never been able to master this piece, and you do it so effortlessly!!!

  • i think it's awesome! maybe a little fast at parts but at least it's not too slow. I hate when people play it too slow.

  • nice but the piano needs to be tuned!

  • good job ^^

  • the point is not to play fast.

    and ur piece sounds forte all through out the song .

    it was very nice technique though.

    its harder to improve technique overnight .

    but it is possible to get the emotion

    so try to build that and give the piece some more flavour ^ ^

  • true, I see no dynamics through the whole piece... careful of legatos... I can't play this fast though :P im no pianist

  • lighten up the beginning and it should be fine.

  • virtuoosoo!!

  • I can see and hear that you play the piano very well.

    Sounds very nice.

    greets,

    michael

  • u add emotion between the song i can hear that, in the middle is very great, but look out rhythm, in the middle very fast and not stable, u can do it better if you focus that. Overall quiet good i get the song's meaning, try again!

  • omg you sure are a genius!!!

    you can also memorize not only the song but you also added some feelings of your own timing!!!

  • dooopppe! im trying to learn the op 64 one ;-) HARD as hell!

  • bonne technique mais.... ou sont les sentiments ?????

  • I gave you 5 stars! your super duper good. (=

  • some part were too tense...especially the poetic part... Relax dude...

  • keep ur leg on the pegal more often

  • i play this song too, jus a little tip, dont jurk ur hands, u jerk ur hands way to much, be more gental... and try not to make the beginning stakato, cuz it sounds better with allegro :)

  • Be slightly slower. Then, perfect. But very good!

  • romance part ur left hand play to loud ..... try touch it soft may can better and right hand can try some rubato 2oo ...

  • if no good critic .... how can the player growth up ..... actually we jus gim good critic to let him noe which part need change and make it perfect ..

  • A critic with good grammar might help :o

    But yes, critics are there to help the people grow (in what ever talent)

    I do feel like the notes are choppy though :o

  • there are many ways to play chopin....people stop critic! just listen to the music or try to play better if you think you can. learn and play piano, you don't know how it could be difficult, so please respect the person who play this

  • I don't understand why all these people are such critics. There is so much bad shit on youtube, and this is beautiful.

  • well first of all, yes its beautiful... but

    1. he asked for peoples critisism..

    2. as a piano player i agree with others that he is lacking many aspects to the song (played it way to fast)

    3. and you are right about the bad shit on youtube though..

  • Look, youtube is public.

    Critics are important, you need to understand that first.

    Some are assholes, not critics. Some of the critics here could be much better than the guy who's playing, or maybe they're trying to tell the pianist on what he can improve on. So how's that so hard to understand?

    Critics help players to get better, period. Unless they're assholes, but this is a public site, so you're bound to meet assholes every now and again.

    One man's shit can be one man's piece of art.

  • Nice ^-^

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you so much!

    It's wonderful,

    It's strong,

    It's beautiful.

    The Microphone maybe adjusted a little, it would be even better.

    Thanks a lot!!!

    Your music lover

  • too fast. your playing the most beautiful part too fast. u should be able to hear every note whereas u jumble it.. too bad.

  • Great, but a little fast and loud. Your style I guess. Some of the parts seem a little... off. Different than the way intended.

  • Pretty good technique, but you just do not feel the music, you're just playing - sometimes only flapping the keyboard. - what a shame. Technique ist not everything. ;)

  • if it was played softer, it would IMO be remarkably better.

    But it was still definitely pretty good.

  • I heard this from the anime piano and I loved it it has both and fast and slow tempo to it that was great... =]

  • I hate you...

    No im kidding. Seriously, thats beautiful!!

    But i still kind of hate you because im JEALOUS!!! xP

  • basta cinesiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  • why play so cute!!!

  • Karlng, your skils are remarkable!

    Your hands have a strong and sure touch. Your love of the music you are playing is quite evident to me. I like listening to your interpretations!

    I understand the suggestions that others are making here and I hope that you are taking them as they seem to be intended: as constructive ways to improve your dynamics. Your talent is truly great and I assure you that time will satisfy your audience's desire for more emotional expression. I wish you well!

  • Pretty Quick bro - Nice with the Chopin!!!!!

  • Well said.

  • WAAAHHH! so talented!

    good job. T_T XD

  • nice speed,no feeling......

  • may i ask????

    how long time u use to master tis song?

  • very good

  • its not like this is to fast because in the movie they do it even faster than that...so its like pretty accurate.

  • i dont no i like i dont no y people are saying bad commets D:

  • you're a bit bouncy for me

  • You have to play little bit more passion...

    but you really good

  • the trills are a bit messy, and the transitions are too sudden. however, overall is pretty good. try slowing down the tempo a bit and soften the tone.

  • nice play...^^

  • srsly friggin good...

  • great job =]

  • In my opinion you were forcing the keys too hard, not enough contrast in expression, as if just purely to show off .... though it is just my opinion

  • Very good, but too fast...play with passion...
