Reincarnation of whom, do you think. Amazing. So musical and perfect. Thanks for sharing this.

[fanatickeshame]

[WahrerDrache]

[joerock20]

[sehnsto]

Wow how old is this kid?? Very impressive!

[2pacAmazesSuperman]

@sehnsto hes 11

[YetHaterLover]

@sehnsto Age is not a factor--remember, Mozart started composing around the age of 5. ;)

[oscrrrrr]

Wow...

[kirkanthonybs76]

Not perfect said one asshole

[silver5532]

oh my goodness! this is AMAZING. how long did it take you to learn this? you're a genius!!!

[crista67]

....bellissimo!!!!

[2pacAmazesSuperman]

im going to kill myself so this guy can play it at my funeral

[classicalmama]

You touch my heart

[LewTewb]

@classicalmama Aww thank you sooo much! God bless! ^_^

[thomcat247]

FKN AWESOME!!!!!!

[chitose3su]

Oh my god you're amazing! If you plan on being a musician when you grow up you're going all the way to the top without a doubt! I'm without a doubt impressed. And jealous of your skill!

[GuitarsAmSuck]

Not perfect, but played quite beautifully. Not robotic at all. It's nice to hear this played as a piece of music rather than an exercise! This performance shows immense potential.

[MultiPianoteacher]

You are great. Your tempo, emotions and execution is perfect and well coordinated. Love your playing. It really touch my soul. Wow!

[haKittehh]

My god, you play better than that stupid [and I must add, **HIGHLY** overrated,] Valentina Igoshina woman! And you are the closest player I have found that can **nearly** compete with Yundi Li! Hahaha, if I were him, I'd be worried if you had bigger hands... Talent has yet again found itself in the most unexpected of places.

[Dukebase]

Its not just down to 'talent', its pure HARD WORK...Im am very impressed.

[werewedow]

OMG... HOW OLD ARE YOU? seriously keep playing don't ever throw this talent away.

[pseyko11250]

you stupid bastard....you make me cry

[Panda299]

Just beautiful! You've got talent, that's for sure! :)

[schaatsgek]

Very nice!

[pilligrimm983]

You are so youn and play the most complicated music this is a sign that in the future you will be afamous pianist with golden hands. I was listening Fantasie Impromtu from almost all players in youtube You are close to Rubinstein. All notes are heard pauses are on their places, emotional playing seems like you feel of what you're playing. The good Idea is to record your performances in pro studio. Thank You

[30inventionman]

The octupus pattern and the 2,2,1,3 , polyrhythem.

[30inventionman]

u figure out what 1+1= first

[sherita68]

I'm just trying to figure out who dislikes this!

[30inventionman]

[fmagistel]

Right hand seems a bit faster than the left...still considering his age, he def has the talent

[dorkasaur98]

howwwwwwww

youre the best ive seen. simply, truly truly amazing.

[anonymousQ45]

damn good kid, keep up the good work, id like to hear the a flat major one too

[zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz675]

Wow, very good. I am 16 and have been playing for two years and played this peice in my last recital. Very Humbling to think your only eleven and are playing it. you could have hesitated and added a little more rubato in some passages but over all very good! -Jeremy

[BigMedley]

@thlman can't believe nobody has trolled you yet. :P Yes, beautiful, well played.

[hypacam12]

beautiful! This is an especially difficult piece for its conflicting rhythms in the left and right hand. You play like a professional.

[M3L6F]

Excellent job. Congratulations !

[OLUTUNJI]

I have viewed this several times and never get tired of it. It is simply an extra-ordinary ability this youngster has. As a pianist myself, I know this piece is no walk over. One day I, too, will play it.

[timothyj1966]

how is it that this kid has not only technique down... but knows how to phrase and play with emotion.... he will go far.... he is brilliant!

[cobmetal5]

mieeerda eso si que es tocar el piano, tiene mucho talento!!

[God777JESUSfreak777]

how long did it take for him to get this good?

[gusAngus]

Played beautifully - well done

[Skyhawk8282]

That was awesome. Extraordinary good work Lewis.

[thlman]

It's great to see black males playing the piano instead of raping and killing

[sacredpianoartistry]

Lewis, I am a author of 17 piano method books. One that I would like to gift you by cyber space is "God's Creative Design On The Piano," or you can download it at my YouTube: sacredpianoartistry

I am a retired piano teacher. You are so blessed by God, and what God had me to research concerning further study of the spiritual, you will then have the complete picture of God's creative design on the piano. Just connect with me or download it from my YouTube.

[achats1]

how old is he

[maxma33607]

trully magnifisent.....i m big jealous for your skills and the time practicing...amazing...keep doing magic whith these chocolate gifted hands!

[scharlesbliss1001]

most children your age that play this song play it with no emotion or make several mistakes

you do neither

great job

[LewTewb]

@scharlesbliss1001 Thank you soo much!!!! :D

[Heritagius]

@LewTewb Wow. Fantastic stuff, dude. I love my Chopin (and my gospel and blues, piano all the way :-))

I would have killed to be able to play this at your age, you've got a great talent - echo what the other guys say about emotion too, you really played this well. Shut my eyes the second time to check so I wasn't watching your body and fingers, sounded better!

Keep it up; great stuff!

[loquaciousdog90]

Amazing piano

Amazing performance

Amazing performer

Amazing song

Amazing camera xD

What is there that isn't amazing? God bless your skills

[eunice19980626]

wow dude, you're very talented.

[ehipeao]

How on can 5 people dislike this video?? Are they deaf, blind and dumb? This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written played magnificently by an 11 year old boy! Hats off to you, you are something special young man!

[LewTewb]

@ehipeao Thanks for the encouragement! means alot! God bless! :D

[MelNel88]

Amen!!!! The 5 dislikes must have mental problems.  This is beautiful!

[MelNel88]

Amen!!!! The 5 dislikes must have mental problems. This is beautiful! The boy has so much heart, dignity and sensitivity, I want to wait around until he grows up!

[30inventionman]

@ehipeao I know, and he is black.

[ehipeao]

@30inventionman and what does that have to do with anything?

[ehipeao]

@30inventionman what does that have to do with anything??

[maestrosibelius]

@30inventionman - What is that suppose to mean?

[DUNKONE4ME]

@ehipeao I agree. Too many "haters" on here always trying to be so super-critical. Great Job!!

[Guardian208]

@ehipeao They must think the kid is a fake. It's hard to believe what I'm seeing. Amazing!

[thewatermelonjoe]

You are magnificent. You will be famous someday. You also will be accepted into any college with a free scholarship.

[LewTewb]

@thewatermelonjoe Thanks so MUCH. My mom always says that! :D

[MattS1224]

You are absolutely fantastic!

[LewTewb]

@MattS1224 Thank you! God bless! :)

[BoJiKl]

The tempo's a bit off if you ask me, some notes are missing and interpretation a bit heavy. Overall, 7/10

[dudedudedude94]

nice tempo... all the other ones go way too fast. and you dont' have a problem with rushing it

go young musicians! ^_^

[LewTewb]

@dudedudedude94 Thx! XD God bless!

[ninahenderson100]

That was beautiful. You are very talented. I've heard this piece played by a lot of people and your performance is my favorite! :D

[LewTewb]

@ninahenderson100 Thanks! God bless you! XD

[GriffieRex]

Fantastic! Very nicely played. Don't you ever give up - like I did (after 27 years of playing)! I'm kicking myself now! You have a wonderful talent indeed.

[6fortyam]

@GriffieRex No offence at all, but you didn't ever think of playing this during those 27 years? My FAVOURITE performance piece everrrr. ^~^

[LewTewb]

@GriffieRex Thank you So much! God bless!

[valentinw1]

very good. you play very well! 

[anonymousQ45]

fun piece to play, especially slow

[lllllllllllllll88]

Who's your teacher? I want him/her to also teach me. lol

Awesome little kid. Parents must be so proud.

[lllllllllllllll88]

WOW!!!! This is out-of-the-ball park BEAUTIFUL!  How did I ever miss this video posted 2007? I'm working on this and I'll never get to this 11 year old's level. lol

Nice going, kid. You play this better than most adults.

[lechopin]

I play this piece as well. You are a precious individual. Excellent work!

[danalan666]

Your technique and interpretation is unapologetic and outstanding; it isn't rote or mechanical and you truly play with a finesse of someone 4 times your age - keep up the good work.

[EmmyRossum4eva]

you are an inspiration. one of the few videos of this piece that impresses me. Not too fast, not too slow. i hope you go far in life with your amazing talent.

[Luckytrumpet777]

Beautfiul. I hope you have a long, successful and happy life. Make sure to always enjoy yourself; you're going to be a needed positive force for the world. =)

[scullyxxx67]

Awsomeee.....CONGRATS.

[poppapump23]

Beautiful! Very well done. Thank you for not rushing the middle section like so many do.

[POPYLOLY8]

[CoClock]

This Young man is HEAVY!!!

[sylacaugachildhood]

[SuperMagmaGirl]

I wonder if it could be played on the violin?

[gaararox2000]

actually it can.. any song can be played on any instrument...

[prozach805]

@gaararox2000 really? man, i wanna here this on the didgeridoo

[imaznfoo]

A marvelously stunning performance.

[DeneaNea1]

I could listen to this all day.

[ehipeao]

@DeneaNea1 I DID just listen to this all day lol

[sylacaugachildhood]

When are you making your next public performance Lewis? My neice and nephew who practice piano live in Dallas and you would be such an inspiration to them.. God bless you richly as you've blessed us with your beautiful talent!

[LewTewb]

Oh I'm having a Concert At SMU October 31.

[sylacaugachildhood]

Hi again Lewis... what time is that concert..? I'm trying to arrange for someone to take my grandmother.. can't seem to find you on the list of events on their website... :-)

[sylacaugachildhood]

hmm, did my comment not show up? I don't see it.. I'm trying to find out what time it will be..... dont' see it specifically with your name on the SMU calendar... I'll keep checking, my grandmother really wants to go see you... you are such a blessing!

[hashirimedes]

Natural.

Pure.

Beautiful.

[ZarBucanero]

Ohhh Coooool. :)

[Boboua]

Great performance! Nice emotions, great rubato!  Just a tad fast in some places but I it's a very legitimate interpretation.

[xblacktearxheartache]

that was amazing! i wish i could play that good but sadly i can't make my hands play independently. eventually they start making the same motions.

[mauricio1213]

Very Impressive, all done without sheet music.  Keep up the great work.

[itsanthonyhere]

You don't play a song like this while looking at the sheet music, it's way too fast.........I don't think ANYONE on the planet would play this while looking at the music.

[1point61803]

Actually, there are a few blind people who can play this.

[tomzmorello]

[AdrienHyron]

Les éloges means here = love

[LewTewb]

Que voulez-vous dire ?

[LewTewb]

C'est vraiment juste un cadeau du seigneur. I' ; m I désolé juste don' ; t pensent que je mérite cette éloge, et même si les eloges signifie les enroulements I' de stag= ; m moins que Dieu. I' ; m juste aidant écartant les bonnes nouvelles de notre seigneur Jésus-Christ notre sauveur!

[AdrienHyron]

Hi! Si tu te donnes la peine de traduire ce message, Je suis très touché par ta façon de jouer. Je penses que personne ne mérite autant que toi les éloges du seigneur! Le Petit Jésus est peut être en toi. ;)

Bless you !

[LewTewb]

Merci, mais I don' ; t pensent vraiment que je mérite le Lord' ; éloge de s. Pour Jésus, la puissant de seigneur Dieu mérite l'éloge. Je crois en lui, et moi espère que vous faites à. Merci de votre commentaire. Dieu bénissent !

[LewTewb]

God Bless!

[fredjmp]

Bravo!

[LewTewb]

Thank you!

God Bless!

[SandyVani]

wow o.O

how long did you have to work on it?

it's amazing! =)

[LewTewb]

4 weeks to learn.

2 months for a competition.

This one was for another competition.

God Bless!

[goldeet]

im blown away by this.

[LewTewb]

God Bless!

[BocaFriend]

Very nice, Lewis. Hard to believe how fine you were so long ago! You were young to offer such a dignified and mature largo movement! I love how you look comfortable throughout your performances. Focused but never strained. It puts the audience in a good zone, too! ::) Wishing you peace and joy always, ~Terry

[LewTewb]

thanks! God bless!

[BillyWillis89]

The comment below is directed at Pianerad, not Lewis.

[LewTewb]

Thank you, and don't worry. I had a Russian teacher who was never impressed, but she sure did get me on my feet. God bless!

[pianoOBBSESED]

Wow, you are really great. You are very musical, keep it up.

[LewTewb]

thanks!

[musicamusement]

You played this beautiful piece with great feeling, Lewis. Thank you so much for sharing your videos. You are truly blessed with musical gifts!

[LewTewb]

Thank you!

[Pianerad]

Too much freedom, not much technic and wrong notes. Is he 11? Children in Gnessin music school (Russia) plays it much better.

His playing is not professional. But, however, he has a great future to be a famous jazz-pianist.

[LewTewb]

God bless you!

[BillyWillis89]

Music is more than notes on a page. Your videos are very impressive, but I am more impressed by Lew's obvious passion than your flawless technique.

Gnessin is a great school, but there is no need for comparison here. Kids all over the planet can play this piece well.

[aawpiano2007]

a very inspiring performance, Lew! I enjoyed it very much! Best wishes for a brilliant future awaiting!

[LewTewb]

thank you!

[abhikmazumder]

Outstanding musical performance!

[LewTewb]

Thank you so much.

[roz59]

Bravo!!!!!!!!  Tremendous!!!!!!!!

[LewTewb]

Thank you!

God bless!

[ytguest10]

I just saw you on NASCAR. That may have been the most inspired rendition of the national anthem I've ever heard.

Thank you.
