Frederic Chopin, Ballade No. 1 in G minor (Alex Smith)

[wrightfamfun]

I am completely blown away with this! Such great playing. I can't imagine how anyone would dislike this. So so so so so great!

[AlexSmithMusic]

@wrightfamfun thanks, I'm glad you like it :)

I must admit, there are several parts in this video that make me cringe (there are plenty of mistakes, lol) It's pretty understandable that people might "dislike" the video.

[Silvermoon221]

this is probably one of the hardest of chopin's compositions to perform and still you did very good =) ! 

[AlexSmithMusic]

@Silvermoon221 lol, thank you. though, I wish my performance would have gone better for the recital. In rehearsals, I don't usually "speed" so much, i get nervous on stage and play too fast

[Silvermoon221]

@AlexSmithMusic you're welcome ^^ yes it's true you played really fast at some times but I don't think many people would have done as well in front of so many people watching ! (except professional pianists of course =P )

This is so beautiful Alex. Look forward to much more!

[Radenko90]

Great play man.

[Evertech1993]

[Forgottenpoet11]

It was beautiful Alex. I hope you're having a great time where you are. As for everyone at subway that you know... hell yeah we all miss you! Lol. Hope to be seeing you around.

Wonderful work there Alex! You have amazing talent. I...have too small of a vocabulary to say how well you play piano. I guess you could say that its beyond words.

[AlexSmithMusic]

thanks for your support, and thanks for commenting on so many of my videos! : )

[trinitronred]

Your welcome, its my pleasure really. Every of one of your music is part of something really spectacular and I doubt that its all wasted talent. Someday, I expect to see you turn out as a celebrity of some sort. If not, I will be sorely dissapointed. I'll keep an eye out for the name Alex Smith in the near future. :)

[AlexSmithMusic]

I hope I can live up to that. I don't want to disappoint anyone!

: )

[MAZZ0Murder]

I wasn't aware that you played the piano. That was amazing! I think that's the first time I've ever heard that piece too.

Great job!

[WROrchestra]

Fantastic Alex. Remind me of vids I've seen of John Williams at his Piano!

[animefan600]

Fantastic! I can already see you doing the score for movies!

[AlouraGielyze]

You are a rare find Alex. Gifted with poise, grace, emotion and talent.

Great job preforming one of your favorite peices seemlessly.

Love you.

[AlexSmithMusic]
