Schubert Impromptu in E flat Major op.90 no.2

[rmfotj]

BRAVO! Finally, somebody that doesn't use too much pedal in the A section! What a wonderful rendition overallI give a gazilion out of five :D!

[anb8205]

Lol first time i played that i was 13... and this kid is like.... whaaa??? O__O

[wtficantgetausername]

@anb8205 haha yeah i could play it like this as well at 13 but this kid...wow

[artichokeh34rts]

amazing gift that God has given her!

[silvermonky123]

don't get me wrong this is VERY nicely played, especially for her age, but i don't think she's mature enough to understand the feeling and dynamics of this piece. a little bit older and she could play this perfectly with more emotion and phrasing

[dmcII]

@silvermonky123 Actually my first thought was similar: Very talented indeed and when she matures to the point where she can grasp what the dynamics, phrasing etc can do for this piece, she will soar. Not fair to compare her to someone at that stage yet. At this age, best to concentrate on technical accuracy and an even line which she executes beautifully. I can't wait to hear her perform it in a few years. Bravo !

[Feadrahchan]

God damn, this girl has godly fingers XD

[cpuneronet]

damn my kids are falling off the roof of the shed and this kids doing this

[chapmmel]

I love this peice, so beautiful and she does it so well. What an amazing child, :)

[sendeyful]

marvellous!

[SOPMEZAL]

Really perfect...! Go girl..

[vertepie]

IS THAT SUNY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER I SEE???

[emg98]

No, that was in Tennessee

[MyFilippo94]

Complimenti davvero! Era un po' troppo nervosa però, non vedeva l'ora di finire, a causa di questo ha fatto qualche piccolo errore, ma io che ho 16 anni ancora non sono capace assolutamente di suonare qualcosa di simile, e soprattutto non così bene. Bravissima!!

[bluestickman1]

wow amazing... i'm about 12 years old and i play this

but 8 is amazing indeed

[mooretto]

8 anni.....e suona l'impromptu di Shubert. scondo me non è umana.

[Melissavictoria24]

I played this piece a few years a ago when I was 18..I thought I was doing well...obviously not...this girl puts me to shame...she plays it very well!

[gkanimefan]

awesome im playing this for my recital

[christinehoffmanred]

Great! I like your clear clean lines!

[unalegeli]

very nice

[gimkilo57]

ouch. Just by watching this, my hands hurt...

[aguayoaguayo]

age 8 ?!?!

[MrJensgilles]

greaaat !!! =O

[lalegra3]

wow!!!

[MissRockOn17]

OMG. :O

[axelou7191]

great!

[heelrunner]

OMG... I want to die. T_T I so NV her... T_T And love her at the same time.

[nao565656]

She's got a great technic and she's only 8 !

I want to hear her play again when she grows up.

[jazzkosova]

awesome

[1980NewWave]

wow. I was 16/17 before I was able to play this piece at such a level, and she plays it WITHOUT the pedal, which makes the legato much more difficult

[arschgrauviolett]

Such a great performance without using any pedal, that is technically beyond amazing!

[kassiLOL]

nice job!

im working on this one too.... i thought i was advanced because i am 15 and playing schubert, hell no! =]

[Chirukii]

Bravo :) And you were only 8 at the time !

[lopler123]

I suggest using a bit more pedal... no offense

Anyways great performance! Good job and well done ! :)

[yiyiku]

always inspired by such talented playing. congratulations!

[g22mp]

Amazing! You almost have that piece down at that age.

[craig7233]

You tiny youngons! How about learning to play it at over 3 times that age??!!

I live in jealousy!! (Still.......)

[thesix107]

Holy crap that was AWESOME. Some of the other little kids being posted on YouTube playing difficult songs have so much work left to make it real nice, but you played that piece so well. Good job.

[Karlaylen]

eyy!! yo aun no he aprendido y tengo 18! q fuerte-..vale es mi primer año pero,,,,

[MatthewGalbraith]

its sad that i'm learning this at 14 and the majority of the videos on youtube have it played by eleven year olds

[viennapianoplayer94]

maaaaaaan I am learning that now=( and I´m 14. I just started playing the piano one year ago, but I wish I would have started much earlier =(°°° 5* such a talented girl

[rhonora1]

wow! you've been playing the piano for just a year and you are already learning this piece? that's great man!

[mighitman]

i did even start piano until i was about 10 and im 15 now. im jelous

[xyzlw603]

Wow! I'm 8 years old and I'm learning this song and I still have a lot of pages before I finish this!

[SimcoeJ]

wow

[suziesuzie1201]

Before I click this, I thought she was gonna play it slowly, you know, since shes young but when she started, i was like OoO....

[Klangzauberer]

Incredible. In that age I just didn't touch a key of the piano. And actually: Compare this version with Zimerman's. It's not professionally recorded but the playing is just stunning.

[thecolouramanda]

? Zimerman's is WAY better! This is awesome for her age, but Zimerman? Come on!

[Klangzauberer]

Yes, you are right. Maybe I was too impressed when I saw her. I think her fluence is awesome but of course Zimmerman's interpretation is more mature.

[jemmisto]

now I feel bad ._.

I'm learning this song and I'm 15!!!

But she's amazing!!

She's 8 years old!!

at her age I just played Titanic ._.

[wackerguy]

Hi there. You said you were learning this song. Could it be anyway possible i could get sheets for this if you have them ? :) i would love to learn this.

[lizbt5]

amazing!!! im learning this song now and im 11

[edison63225]

wonderful!=]

good girl!!

[bryangld27]

Amazing Kid

[AnanasLoVerAnnuh]

omg ur pro!! i m going to play this at a contest and right now when I watch this I think i m going to die at that contest xDDD

[Mikozee]

Holy crap that's amazing. I didn't play that until I was 10 and my techniques were probably half as good as hers!

Hmmm I should try playing this song again for the heck of again....

[aerosmithissuper]

WHAT????very goodd

[Deanbagdude]

Man this sounds like where rising force came from!

[Verdybastarda]

spettacolare

[jgsky]

very nice!

just it feels that her left hand hardly catches up with her right hand...

but really good for such an age!

[sam0xin]

Gifted Kid ! I have a suggestion to teacher ! It seems She doesn't use PEDAL at all !? but in general You did great job! I mean for her age....8 years old,this peace is horribly complicated (physically)

CONGRATULATIONS !

[lkove]

im not sure weather she can or not but a lot of times young players don't use the pedal cuz they cant reach it yet.

[gabycruz]

cómo?!

[gabe8719]

Nice video, but...You're so talented as it looks.But I think that you ought not play that. There're some compositions you have to live many years and see life..That Schubert impromptu is like that I think..Your playing is nice, although in some places you may have to practice in slow tempo. I think you may need some years to livin' to play that really authentic. Just practice a lot and have experiences..On the other hand that's nice work!

[skakunchik]

Gabe, you are cardinally wrong in your perception. All pieces should be played at all stages of the development of a pianist. There are always new creative ideas and ways of perfection coming with age and maturity. It's like reading Shakespeare: you can read him at the age of 9 and be deeply affected, and the at 40 again, and different valuable imprints will be left on your soul. Try to reach for the stars even if you are still small, and maybe some day one will glow in your hand...

[lephare09]

I'm amazed - 9 years old??

[taleteorganista]

very good!!

*****!

[Snowspianist]

Wonderful !

[haruhyoubyouno]

私この曲弾きました。8歳ではなく8年生（中学2年生）で。多分­先生宅のピアノの音だから、誰か他に弾いたかな？

[siralchemistuk]

FANTASTIC!!!!! Such good control and musical too!!!

[tabrisfreewill]

the second that she played the first measure my jaws dropped...

[quynhho2002]

I like her technique a lot [:

ditto to lucylu1229's comment

[caeriose]

that is a "wowzer" speed lol

[gouloum2222]

this girl is amazing !! she is very talented !

[LoveHeart55]

WOW Awesome! See, age doesnt really matter! She is awesome. Im gonna ask my professor if i might play this piece :)

[rfmenyi]

Not bad :-)

I am now 13, I was 10, when this piece playing have.

[coconutgalaad]

wonderful, continue !

it sounds like pearls rolling on rocks

[blee9188]

Holy crap, i couldn't even play this song until i was 15. Truely amazing!

[lucylu1229]

This is nice. Her technique is excellent and beyond what words can describe. However, I feel her speed is a bit fast, and she could play it with a little more emotion and dynamics. For example, in the C section with the broken chords, the accent on the first beat is a bit too obvious. Besides that and a few other things, I think Erica is well on her way to becoming a fine pianist. She already is a great one!!!

[maniutek123456]

omg great she have huge preformance :)i'm so shocking

[Ronroco]

Increible!!!!!

[Shadowtel]

idd, a bit more emotion would be nicer. Still pretty crazy though.

[Bethanyjay]

Omg ! c'est un prodige

[Amarylus]

Amazing little girl ;)

[poweriserpro]

it's amazing! but i think i little fast...maybe nerves. spectacular for her age! but i think this is the correct speed

[3tristan]

Is this the new Clara Wieck?

[Jupe1983]

"der schlaue chinese löst den fleißigen chinesen ab" - Joachim Ihrcke

[blasianjh]

WHAT THE HELL so much talent... man i quit piano lol

[menonfire12]

el dia.., jeje SUPER BIEN!

[evina90]

I play this Impromptu...but this child plays it very fast!

[raspberryvanilla]

these child piano prodigies make me cry D:

[jannokas85]

The running passages sound close to professional...the ben marcato part has very wide chords and it's amazing she's played them convincingly and she definitely has got huge talent!

[stridskuk87]

wow! can she even reach the pedals?!

[AndersAnd123]

Thats maybe why she plays this piece because it is supposed to be playing without pedal :-) But very good ideed for that age (i hope her parents aren't pushing her too hard)

[gouloum2222]

impressed .

[1brian12341]

I just saw your Kuhlau video and I remember playing that one too when I was little! Keep up the work, you have tremendous talent :)

[1brian12341]

Very well done! I've been playing for 15 years and I always love coming back and playing this song :) Only thing I would say is you cut off some of the half notes rather early in the left hand part, but other than that, great job.

[TacticusPrime]

no sheet music or anything. amazing. just amazing.

[Sionkg]

Lol.. Her skills are amazing.. But, if you have played a song over 100 times to master it, obviously you dont need sheets.. its simply muscle memory...

[dolly1209]

10years of piano, only 4 of lessons, but still,I cannot play like that!it's frustrating :s

[juliamoesia]

perfect !

[dukeinlondon]

I'd be so proud I'd weep. Very moving.

[bluedoughnuts]

:-)))  thankyou!!

[adolf10]

ich bin sprachlos; eine Begabung

[chanpunacha]

[LoAugustsson]

[david12345david]
