[OhAnnaVapours]

Nice piano - which brand is it?

Oh, and you play really well, there's a lot of life and emotion in your style. Well done!

[nleytman]

[OhAnnaVapours]

@nleytman Thanks! :)

[weedoc2k8]

[notsteven]

Wow. Great!

[superasian619]

While there is no pre-determined speed, you play very fast. :O It's awesome. Thanks for the enjoyment. This is my Fine Arts piece. :D

[sparksfly16]

This is really nice! I played it at least 10 years ago so this is really nostalgic. Maybe I'll relearn it sometime soon :)

[jvgirlsrule]

i know how to play the 1st & 3rd movement

[Libo299]

Good Job

[animeash]

omg so pro! i can't play it as fast as you but i can play it to like 50% of this haha

[bxsephjo]

thank you! i wasn't sure how to do the trills

[CroSsyFirEX]

i can play all 3 movements but some errors will be played and mine is slower than this.

you are pro!

BTW, can u play beethoven moonlight movement 3(or all the movements)?

that'll be cool if u play it

[thebluebaboons]

Your hands scare me.

[MissKorea3232]

erty1800 ya rite

[StaxeNowGoesUp]

i'm learning this piece right now, but i dont know how to play the trill and the left hand un 0:51 at the same time :(

[aeiouvp]

@StaxeNowGoesUp did you finally found out how to play the trill and the left hand? I'm playing it now and have the same problem. Please help me if you can.

[erty1800]

i can play most of this song almost as good as him and i am only 11

[hotyu3456]

i just had this suzuki book 3 recital and the second to the last song is aweshome

[AthrunApl]

I just got assigned this piece yesterday.its a hard one for me.

[jiafei08]

I'm learning this piece now. Your video is very helpful.

I have a couple questions for your regarding the 1st movement: (1) In measure 29, should the cresc. spread out over two measures? (2) Is it okay for RH to hold the ending note (C) for more than one beat? I am struggling with stopping the note at the first beat of the measure esp. when I play the piece at a fast tempo - I feel like it's against laws of physics to stop the RH rolling motion abruptly...

[abadakus]

Thank you for this lesson!

[Cloudwind19]

awesome....

[AmphibianStudios]

i thought i knew how to play this piece......till i watched this O.O

[cobalt100]

I remember this sonatina very well. Twenty years ago, I could not actually finish this piece. Today, I still can't. But you played it superbly.

[awesomelilli12]

When I watch this on youtube it makes me think "Wow I can't belive I can play this!!" Haha! Great job! :) You play very well! Good dynamics too!

[TheEmiliano96]

il primo tempo lo devi fare un po piu lento e un allegro nn vivace u.u

nn credi ke sia troppo veloce il secondo tempo xD? e un andante con all'inizio della prima battuta scritto "dolce" tu sembra ke lo fai moderato ç.ç

il terzo tempo è buono xD

[luddoro]

@TheEmiliano96 CONCORDO PIENAMENTE!

[TheyCallTheSandman]

That is so weird though. My version is 6 minutes long. Interesting!

[hotyu3456]

@TheyCallTheSandman because they rushed the songs lol

[princessjp10]

One word. Epic.

[mysterious1961]

I agree, you're the best I've heard!

[galaxian06]

Complimenti =) ..good good!!

[ennachka]

you are fantastic!

[jordanviach]

god this brings back memories... XD how i used to HATE this sonatina when i was 8! but now it makes me smile... excellent playing, thanks for posting!

[MikeyKnox1]

[MaPsG0006]

i'm about to go learn this on my own so this helped so i could hear a recording

[caeriose]

[skittycutiegirl]

Thanks!!!! your video helped me a lot!!!!!!

[gamasandoval]

You're the best player of this piece!!

Congratulations!!

[Vivaldi7034]

wow ! You play piano very well !!

I am also a pianist !!!

[PabloSerra1989]

Well played, 3rd Movement should be a bit faster though...

[calryamol]

i'm actually just learning how to play this song:) its really a wonderful song and you did a great job with it.

[lizisback12]

b-e-a-u-tiful .... i can play the first movement but im working on the others

[videochat911]

awesome

[evakocht]

One of the best versions you find in Youtube!

[PSP600HAX1]

nice

[gunz300]

I hate the pause towards the end of mvnt. 2, I don't know why it was written that way. I tend to ignore the quarter note for fluency. You play this very well.

[JPZ16974]

clementi is such a good artist for ppl starting to learn piano, i call him a gateway drug to piano addiction :)

[Kirty7]

Tieni il polso fermo!

[vrbdhghds]

This is so good and cool

[moonprincess27127]

[birthmarkslaya826]

my level is OVER 9000

[clairek6]

great!!

btw ny one know the definition of sonatina ? (:

thanks . .

[blondeybombshell]

its a small sonata. a sonata is A collection of (usually four) instrumental movements

[fortepiano114]

Its a miniature sonata, a musical form that, according to textbook in the classical "Sonata Allegro" form, has three distinct parts. An Exposition that contains a Primary theme (tonic), followed by Transitionary material, followed by a Secondary Theme (dominant), and a Closing Codetta that moves the sonata into the Development where a theme is elaborated upon. The development will retransition into a Recapitulation (all tonic) restating the Primary and Secondary themes and close (tonic).

[livelovelaugh563]

i learned this song about a year ago and i personally didnt like learning it but now im glad i did cause i always play it for fun

[pokerox111]

[Bubbleope]

[nfsaleem]

LOL... i'm on level 4 and i've played it!

[princessrinoa16]

[abbia88]

No... Generally is the first sonatina that a student play...

[R0FH]

[ChadA1993]

Good job. Very artistic.

[manchesterfanutd]

[SIlentPianist47]

[purplepillow74743]

[elfcool324]

Awesome and graceful and clear.WOW:-)

[o7PunkDog7o]

Wow... Loverly...

[joselete]

Me gusta muchísimo la interpretación de los tres movimientos.

[Pokemon1998cyrus]

wow...bravo piano

[FREEASTHESTARS]

that was amazing- you are soo good- I will be learning this soon hopefully; you are brilliant!

[lineaadicional]

I liked it very much. I wanted to show this sonatina ono of my students and your interpretation was the best! Very clear, expressive, your piano is piano and your forte is forte! Very good... ochen xorosho!

[Michelle6998832]

It sounds so clear, do you use any pedal or that's just the piano? Loved it.

[shysingergirl14]

I'm sorry but you won't be able to see me play it because I don't have a camera video. I have a problem with the part at 0:10 in your video. I have a problem playing both hands at once and keeping a consistent beat at the same time.

[colourfulchaos]

that's exactly the same problem i have with playing the song.A constant rhythm with both hands not to mention correct fingering...

[shysingergirl14]

wow ur awesome! i have to play the whole piece soon! in june! and now i have to play the first movement in december! ahh! how do you play so well and fast?

[ennachka]

Amazing performance.

[mambagr]

a lot of feeling there. Great.

[ennachka]
