12 years old boy plays Chopin Etude Op.25-6

[dship98]

I personally like some other interpretations better, but this is good for his age! :)

[toveb1954]

very skilled young lad..

[360chase360]

left hand could be louder, but with 12 years incredible!!

[AntipovSvyatoslav]

@360chase360 no, his left hand was good

[demosj]

Okay, Youtube prodigies are usually pathetic, but THIS is genuinely impressive. This is by far the hardest of the etudes, as they call it, the etude "for real men".

Tremendous.

[uhartchristian]

bravo he already understands how to play this etude. Hope he works on the other etudes too.... could get a very good pianist....

[gerardbedecarter]

Excellent. playing.

[JoeTownley]

I couldn't tell the difference between him and Vladimir Ashkenazy. Another way of saying this kid is terrific.

[rakuhiro5]

この曲も練習したあらなんとかなると思う。まあここまで店舗を上­げるのは難しいと思う。ペダルが響きすぎかな？

[music08281]

うまーい！

もうピアニストになれるよ！

[pastafantastica]

This is really a big achievement for a performing young artist - anyone who says differently is probably a little mwphrtsqzzy! - LIKE IT

[NOSEhow2LIV]

Very impressive playing, natural facility of the young combined with uncomplexed purity of musicality. Hope it continues.

[CliftonTeGreat]

pseudo intellectual lol

[seahyimin]

amazing stuff

[lovesGenet]

Wow.the thirds are clean adn left hand wonderful delineation.GEESE!!!!!

[Alejandro270193]

machine

[debussy84]

OMG, he's my idol

[seremerow]

音樂性尚可，

技巧足夠，

但左右手的調和、配合度明顯不足！

有些段落掌控極佳!有讓音響效果蹦出。

但也有些段落音量分配有問題，

主要就是"右手表現的太過強勢"!!

這也是此曲難以演奏的原因之一。

年紀輕輕就彈高難度的曲子，

頗有才氣！加油。

[Haydenbrooks83]

it's much better towards the end.

[vivvpprof]

PERFECT!

This "Chinese boy" lol as you call him, plays it ten times better than Sokolov, fifteen times better than Richter, a hundred - Cziffra, and a MILLION times better than anyone else who tried to perform this most difficult of Chopin's Etudes.

Bravo!

[LARSE42]

NO SE PREOCUPE RobinLSL DESPUES DE VER ESTA INTERPRETACION Y LA FACILIDAD CON QUE INTERPRETA CUALQUIERA QUE ESTUVIERA PRACTICANDO ESTE ESTUDIO OPUS 25 NUMERO 6 SIN LOGAR NI LA MITAD DE ESTA INTERPRETACION TAMBIEN BUSCARIA UNA SOGA PARA GUINDARSE.

[klavierspielerin83]

hay kid! next time you play from memory, put the dern musci rack down! you ll be suprised at what it will do for your own hearing!

[Hey5G]

this only comes to show that they can do whatever they want 2 n we can't stopp them..so they r gettin all deh money just by playin that good at and early age....whereas other limit themselves and stick to what every1 else is doing

[Jtking3000]

"chinese boy" lol

[anonymousQ45]

i thought the same thinglol!

[Reinier150192]

haha

[Rani9000]

rubish comment

[xxh3llfir3xx]

good playing, but the piano needs major tuning!!

[RobinLSL]

Someone find me rope... I need to hang myself!

[jonprak]

I can't play this! It's too hard! Glad you can do it! =)

[Jhurrr]

'Chinese boy ' AHAHAHA LULZORMFG

[jennyfromalbania]

this etude is extremely hard.I playd it last year!too hard!well done!you play it very good!ur so talented :D

[ytfarmer90]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo I WILL NOT PLAY IN THIRDS CHOPIN! I REFUSE!

[1905gsgs]

i think its chopins hardest etude

[debussy84]

OMG!!! He made it look easy. Its in chopin's top 5 most difficult etudes. He can play ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

[hinatachansama]

ich glaube zudem, dass vielen der bezug zur europäischen kultur und deren geschichte fehlt.

[hinatachansama]

musik ist kein sport.sie muss gedacht und empfunden werden. beim klavier ist die gefahr gross, einfach eine folge von tönen auswendig zu lernen. beim streichinstrument muss man sich den klang wenigstens vorstellen können. bei jedem instrument und jedem technischen niveau gibt es nur ganz wenige personen die eine echte vorstellung von der komposition haben.wenn jemand gut vom blatt spielen kann, ist das schon eher ein zeichen für echtes können. der komponist ist der echte virtuose.

[LoveAnette]

du hast ja melch echt garkeine ahnung, hast du mal einen pianisten gesehen der vom blatt spiel ? man soll ein stück auswendig lernen damit man sich nicht auf die notenkonzentrieren muss und sich nur aufs "interpretieren" konzentieren kann.

[111alexander111]

Excellent!

[AnnMarry19]

how long you play this etude?

[Kuartz42]

NO emotion, you must look at Valentina Listina ... Yes, you are 12, but...

[faustianliszt]

Sure there's emotion... don't you see the tension in his shoulders? Hes petrified... who do you think is taping him? Hes afraid of disappointing his relentlessly overbearing parents who didn't make anything of their own lives and want to live vicariously through him... no emotion?? pahh!!!

[pianovideo]

The parents need to take better care of their piano.

[ytfarmer90]

wow, you just summed up my entire view on the asian mentality of playing instruments... BRA-freakin'-VO!

[wendy3212]

lol i thought you meant that he freaked your bra off...

[uprooy]

Wonderful! Go on like that!

[ggyy7878]

great skill!

but your piano..it's a bit off

get it tuned and record the play again!!

i believe it'll sound even better=)

[cjhwth81]

Great Job! Lets see a critic do it better?

Keep playing!

[organboi]

i like "Chinese Boy!"

[Pianoloverok]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hein2214]

Bravo !!!!

[BarNuun]

Wonderful performance, great style! Encore, please?

[stienwayz]

Amazing work! =)

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

I wish I started early, like him.

[llamasownyou]

And that you were a child prodigy, like him...

[organboi]

i don't think he's a prodigy. he's excellent but we have no proof here that he's a prodigy. prodigies generally record themselves on shockingly out of tune pianos.

[pianoplejer]

comunisten:D

great!!!

[estudiosinluz]

Not that good.

But he is young and still has a lot to learn.

[siverfox17]

I agree mardini it hurts me lol.Iwas trying to learn this but i gave up.My 4th and 5th fingers to week and i don't get the opening trill played well.Oh well can't be a hater he's good but it's disgusting.

[mardini1987]

This is disgusting. I spent 6 months trying to learn this, and I can't play it half as well as him. And I'm 20 friggin years old!

[Haydenbrooks83]

Don't give up on it, if you go back to it you'll find it's easier than you think.

[abmephise]

Well done, matey!!!!

[cdpiano27]

Terrific!! A great talent!! Can you post more of his playing. Is he student a Beijing Central Conservatory?

[pspdipendente]

congrats man...

[ikstaz]

hear what is doing your LINK hand !

[Anders039]

Shut the f*** up you who are criticizing this video. The boy plays 10 times better than you anyway. Awesome.

[LVB1770]

You want to see a REAL genius. Search you tube for Aimi Kobayashi and prepair fall off your chair in disbelief!!!

[WENCHINGTON]

You suck at piano, so I shall assume you suck at judging the difficulty of piano pieces and the skill of their players.

[pianoik]

i have played the piece when i was 9...

[Taylorcuty]

the boy's a genius!

[mtaclb]

Oh, my GOD!

[biegel88]

Excellent facility for your age--make sure to play this through and slowly atleast once a week for the rest of your life. Good luck to you!

[Robotman42]

I can play this piece, but not nearly as fast...

[DayMrsL]

i play this piece [...]

I = 14 year age

[WENCHINGTON]

That is an old age that no one respects. At this point you can no longer be considered a prodigy, only a decrepit grandfather.

[wamadeus]

i wonder why theres so many gifted kids out there... but only a bunch of great adult pianist

[pchk1]

What a shame . . . A hopelessly out-of-tune piano that is no match for such a heavenly boy! I really want to give him a big hug for this.

[robkoolaid]

oh my shit! so many skilled people in this world

[NeoComposer]

Great job!

[lipattihaskill]

this boy is 15 years old not 12.

[SecaMartin]

wayne, I want to see you playing this piece with just 15 years

[lipattihaskill]

secamartin,will be difficult to see me do that at 15 years of age because I am older then 15..but I can tell you that I have several japanese students age 15,16 who can play a lot of chopin etudes,including op.25 nr.6,fluently.Nonetheless, this boy is indeed a fantastic talent.

[SecaMartin]

Asian boys don't count, they still get tortured with whips for playing wrong notes xD

[lipattihaskill]

secamartin you are very naieve.Asia has,on the level of pianoteaching and education in general more to offer than torture!They have things like f.e.Qigong.A system that one uses to cultivate internal and external energy.That's what we are doing with these talents ,,NOT TORTURE!!!!

[SecaMartin]

I'm sorry, I haven't meant it that serious. But sometime you get such impressions when you see a 6year old boy who can plkay better than me or a 3year old girl solving rubics cube o.O"

[cdpiano27]

Totally agree with lipattihaskill!!!!

[Robotman42]

Oh come on...

[SecaMartin]

It was a joke! Got it? Joke! J-o-k-e!

[Robotman42]

I knew. I said that because it was a bad one.

[196823]

pretty good for so young pıanıst!

[piano6861]

Fantastic at young age!

[ihrtmusic12334]

nice!!!!!!!!!1

[pianogirl98]

Bravo!
