I heard that my mother used to play that. I am more impressed with her than ever thanks to this video.

[gwen101131]

My favorite piece of all time!

I enjoy these pieces too, gwen101131! Thanks for watching my video!

[pestilpen]

Excellent performance. Also check the sentimental Valsa da Dor in which you should deposit all your soul. More greetings form Rio de Janeiro.

[tbkurz]

Thanks for the compliment and the piece suggestion, pestilpen! Thanks also for watching!

Aaron

[DMusic96]

Brazil ???

[tbkurz]

Dear Annrawwhhh,

I can learn the general melody of a piece by ear, but I can't learn it completely without sheet music.

Sincerely,

Aaron

[paulcopeland]

Hi Aaron.

Another inspiring performance. I am impressed with how relaxed your wrists are. Well done indeed. Best wishes as always.

[tbkurz]

Dear paulcopeland,

Thank you so much for your compliments! Thanks also for your continuing support of me!

Ad essere bravo tecnicamente è bravo,

ma questo brano non mi trasmette niente.

Che tu insegni ad un bambino a fare scale a 190/200 bpm li fai aumentare solo la tecnica..ma la creatività dov'è?

Su youtube vedo 10.000 video di bimbi bravissimi tecnicamente...ma fin'ora non ho visto aver creato da nessun bambino una composizione/brano.

Non è la tecnica a rendere un pianista bravo,ma l'ispirazione,l'anima e la creatività.

Che questo bimbo fà scale velocissime non me può fregare di meno.

[FatG94]

dude my name is aaron kurz too the only way i found you was searching myself on google haha

[gerardbedecarter]

Very impressive playing, Aaron. I imagine they aren't easy to memorise. Late Beethoven they aien't but your playing of the Witch was suitably spooky and of Punch was suitably .. well, whatever it has to be !!! I think these would be great encore pieces to wow an audience before a final encore of say a slow Chopin waltz or Saint Saens's The Swan [Sorry, I can't do diaereses in this program]. After all the effort of getting them up it would be a shame to drop them from your repertoire.

[tbkurz]

Dear Gerard,

Thanks for your interest in the Villa-Lobos pieces. I just picked up some other 21st century music, a piece by William Bolcom. I really enjoy playing it, but it's hard to keep everything up.

Sincerely,

Aaron

[GilvanGouveaMerola]

Very good.Your intrepertation is good.

Cheers

Gilvan(Brasil)

[tbkurz]

Dear Gilvan,

I'm glad you liked my interpretation of the Villa-Lobos! Thanks for watching my video!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[annapiano1949]

You don't understand what  you play and the glissando is terrible!

[tbkurz]

Dear thepianoman1991,

Thank you so much for your compliments! I'm so glad that you enjoyed my interpretation of these two pieces!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[cmariamagda]

You're great.You have an impressive tehnique.I like contemporany music,too.I play a romanian piece "Titirezul",the composer is Constantin Silvestri and there are a lot of glissando.I hope you enjoy it,too.

[tbkurz]

Dear cmariamagda,

Thank you for your compliment on my technique. I have not ever heard of Titirezul, but I will look it up soon!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[LutzKranenborg]

When you are not familiar with Heitor Villa Lobos' music, these glissando's may seem a bit strange. Having seen you (and Ariel Lanyi for that matter), I am no longer abhorred by the glissando technique, nor the clusters. I might become an admirer of contemporary music after all. At any rate: I loved your performance. Best wishes,

Ben

[tbkurz]

Dear Ben,

I"m glad that you enjoy my glissandos and that you enjoy contemporary music! I really enjoy it too. Thank you so much for continuing to watch my videos!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[mucketraube]

he is really good but i hate this art of music... it sounds like a chaos for me...

[tbkurz]

Dear mucketraube,

Thanks for the compliment regarding the piece. A lot of people feel the same way about the Witch as you.

Sincerely,

Aaron

[carri6522]

Wow, this young boy is musicaly gifted. Such power in his playing. Thanks for posting.

[tbkurz]

Dear carri6522,

Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I hope you continue to watch my videos as I will continue posting new ones farily regularly.

Sincerely,

Aaron

[curzmg]

If only you knew how much I wish I was you. Sometimes I worry that I'll never be able to play the music I would love to. Your playing is incredible. xXx

[LarsenPiano]

I have nothing against your playing, but why do piano teachers assign Villa Lobos of all people? Villa Losbos music is nothing more than a cacophony of cheap tricks and ugly dissonances.

[tbkurz]

Dear LarsenPiano,

I was assigned the Villa Lobos because it was necessary for me to play in a piano competition and it was the best option of all of the choices.

Sincerely,

Aaron

[MillerMusicStudiosTV]

Aaron, Fabulous! Keep up the fantastic work! Warmest regards, Diane

[tbkurz]

Dear MillerMusicStudiosTV,

[zezinhozeppelin]

[alessandroagiovanni]

Forget Chopin, this kid has already made Rachmaninoff look like an amateur.

[tbkurz]

Dear alessandrogiovanni,

I wish I could truly say that I think that I'm better than Rachmaninoff, but thanks for the encouragement and the comparison!

Sincerely,

Aaron

[tbkurz]

Dear zezinhozeppelin,

Thanks for the compliment! I do have a Chopin video on my channel...
