7 year old Tammy Wu plaing the Cat and the Mouse

[twinkle4stars]

i think younger people shouldn't play this because they might not understand the meaning of the piece and what's its all about

[ahu31]

Wow I love that she isn't just playing the piece, she's got such presence that makes Copland's amazing composition that much better. Spectacular job Tammy!!

[Enjen81]

Tammy Rocks!

[Kimmirui]

well played but i think so young people shouldnt play this kind of music, cause theres no feeling in it. the piece should talk about the cat and the mouse.

[tiuchis101]

one word AMAZING

[amandajames02]

Tammy is an amazing player indeed for her age, but playing these "too old" pieces don't bring out the best of her abilities. Maybe it's just this video, but the tempo's way too fast and she didn't demonstrate that she fully understood what the composer wanted to bring out. But still, it was a wonderful try.

[lovecatcandy]

wow. she's like awesome. i was 9 when i played this...

[cartmanapja]

perhaps 0:51-1:01 would be more piano

[taterjoe]

You are amazing! I am jealous of your amazing ability at playing big things with small hands! I must know your secret!

[cbuz06]

My jaw is still on the ground. Beautiful.Makes me want to get back on the piano.

[StupidCrapForSoul]

evil little brat. why are there people like this in the world?! i didn't play Cat and Mouse until i was in 8th grade!

[gabsylv]

hahaha, no, wasn't that when you learned to tie your shoes?

[fatcatrocky]

how old is she?

[mapleaddict2]

lol im playing this piece too. i cant get the huge cords at the end

[asianperson10101]

i agree it is a big achievement. But in all the song isnt really that hard. You just play the same cords up and down. Its just accuracy and speed thats tricky.

for such a young gal thats pretty amazing

[klingsor93]

Tammy, you have so much grace in your movements, so many colors in your sonorities that I don't care at all for the inaccuracies. I love every note you strike or carress.

wow!

[BrucknerEnthusiast]

I saw this video a few days ago and commented on it, but YouTube seem to have lost my comment. It was only at 1:57 when Tammy has to simplify the right hand chords because of her small hands that I remembered it was a seven-year-old child. The inaccuracies in the playing really don't matter; this is quite an achievement for her and it's notable that she has formed her own original interpretation of the music, showing considerable composure in the slow sections.

[Pianoloverok]

You are excellent!

[Junbon]

Pretty good. Plays it better than me XD

[ConnieDaEvilCow]

whoa a 7 yrs old plays the cat and the mouse. This kid is a real prodigy. I still wonder why that retarded kid Ben is so much more popular.

[BrucknerEnthusiast]

Yes, a lot of media fuss has been made of the guy called 'Ben' but I think there are plenty of young pianists on YouTube who can outclass him. At 1:57 Tammy has to simplify the right hand chord because she can't stretch a ninth, and it was only when this happened that I remembered that she was 7 years old! OK, there are some inaccuracies and some problems with the pedal, but what is more significant is that she has formed her own personal 'interpretation' of the piece. It's a big achievement.
