Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 12 Variations by Mozart

[PianoCelloBoy]

I think u need to slow down a little, as my teacher would say, "STOP CHOKING THE SONG!! LET THE SONG BREATHE!!"

[sosinovitch]

Well, performed! But I think another version would be great. It would be nice to see your face and more of the piano.

[Gangstagran]

Lovely playing with so much emotion. Every time I listen to this I'm amazed. Well done!

[KevinR3i]

Kawaii!!! Beautiful!!

[NobodyTouchesMyCello]

my eyes couldnt keep up with his hands...

[ViktorMonster]

its too fast for him, theres too many mistakes...he should take it slower :)

[altobeast]

@Themanofblues finally somebody who has a respectful perspective, rather than generalizing about who i am. To the others, how does that make you any better than you think i am?

[altobeast]

@cindyrox12345 haha yea i'm jealous of a tigermom loving closed child who spends all his time playing piano and doing work.

[fatahmyx]

it's a bit too fast isn't it? but, still like it anyway

[sootyxsnowpetal]

My take on that is that it is incredibly played... for his age. If you erase the factor of his age, then there would be other opinions flying in about, yes, how little emotion is put in.

And before anyone starts bashing me, I'm just going to put it out there that yes, I can play this piece.

[wolfmarc2]

nice. lol

[TheManOfBlues]

beautiful stuff man. PLEASE tell me you're still playing

[altobeast]

i'm not hating on this kid, i'm just saying there is no emotion AT ALL. just straight music. Mozart made his music to be interpreted not copied...

[JodeaKegan]

I think a good many people on here are jealous or pretentious. If you did this when you were 13 then bravo to you! I have always loved this piece as just an example of the lighthearted and fun music Mozart was most famous for. Keep on practicing and be proud!

[asup3rn1nja]

HE GOES HAM!!!!!!!!!!!

[sbliss554]

like a boss! lol, great job



[samehadly]

bad and good

[devans326]

Outstanding! I wish I could play that well!

[heygal24]

@melynx901z speak for yourself

[Balmung115]

At 3:30, you played that variation in 12 seconds...I think you should slow down, in my personal opinion. Other than, great job. Keep at it.

[2laaaaa3]

Good job!!!

[Gangstagran]

Pure beauty!

[ezhang1]

I can see mistakes :o

but that song seems harder than when I learned it o.o

[bluedrache]

@ezhang1 LoL. Give him a break. He's playing a piece written for adult sized fingers. He's going to have issues with the intervals simply because of hand size. My issues with it are that he's playing it somewhat mechanically, banging everything out as hard as he can, it seems like. That and the microphone is awful. Could use some curtains in the room to take out the echo.

[acasurfing11]

I wonder how long he practiced..

[missdeefresh91]

THAT IS AWSOME I LOVE MOZART

[NorabelxNightmare]

i can believe this is the actual piece of the song i've been listening to since i was small. the one i first heard was much different. they must've taken out some notes to make it shorter o: but it's still very interesting so much passion in this one piece

[heypeople0419]

we watched this in school.

[progamer9825]

SAW UR FACE AT 0:46 :)

[ettoregalli72]

wonderful music, wonderful playing! I love the theme with variations "musical form"

[arjea1996]

When Beiber was on diapers, this guy was already on the piano for Gods sake..

[LooneyGuitar]

@GreetingsFrmDublin The only thing you better at than him is probably just typing.

[raraandraja]

@altobeast couldnt agree with you more

[melynx901z]

@altobeast how will you know, tho. not all asians are mindless

[melynx901z]

@altobeast i mean, twinkle twinkle isn't exactly an emotional song, you know.

[VicKwak]

@altobeast True. But like you said. A KID. Relatively speaking, this kid plays wonderfully, in my opinion.

[cindyrox12345]

@altobeast well, so wat if he's playing with his brain? i'd like 2 see u do better. i cant believe how some people just waste der time making stupid comments like dis. and wen dey do its usually wen der're jealous. and how do you no he's not playing with his heart? asians r successful cause dey play with der heart, y arent der any mre western people who r really good? dats cause most of dem lose interest. sheesh.

[HarmonicCorruption]

@cindyrox12345

There may be people that through their technical levels are phenomenal but if there is no soul in it then all the effort goes to waste.

[TheManOfBlues]

@altobeast he's gotta have heart to practice this song however many hours it took him and be that young. don't hate the player

[TheManOfBlues]

@altobeast wow, just saw you pretty much answered the question. the feeling will come with age. it's tough to show feeling with experiencing much of life yet.

[jasonmh]

@altobeast and yet another stupid white loser that is pumping my gas

[RianoKan]

@jasonmh Is that a gay euphemism?

[jlodoa]

@altobeast

That's just disgusting

Someone just doesn't learn Piano or any instrument for the hell of it.

Show some respect, I'm sure you couldn't achieve this level of playing.

[ShinyTogeSphere]

@altobeast u mad bro?

[LadyManners1]

3:05 - 3:29 Are there any keyboard notes? Can you name any sites that will tell me the notes between those times?? :3

[heygal24]

YOU WERE 11!! how old are you now?

[bluedrache]

@heygal24 Math. It works!

[heygal24]

@bluedrache FUNNY!! he could have waited a few months before uploading it anyway!

[TheKisbogre]

KAWAI xD hahaa kawaii :3 :D

[shadowplayer29]

i wonder why pianos ARE so big but only the middle gets played? weird...

[musickitten101]

@shadowplayer29 it has to be big if you want to play a 4 hands duet or a trio...

[jltchaos]

niggas be hating on this kid cuz he killing and he betta then u wen he like 7

[juanchiviris]

Beautiful song... Look for the video Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (Venezuelan Folk Variations). Enjoy it!

[GotsItGoinOn]

youve got talent with the piano, there's no doubt about that. but what is preventing you from becoming a true piano player is to slow down and feel the piece with not only your ears but your whole body. to be able to experience the tone of the song and let it flow out on the keyboard is what can show you the difference between pounding and playing and greatly improve your piano skills.

[LordTyrannus]

@GotsItGoinOn

He's not pounding...that's just how the variations go..this isn't romantic music.

[lksong2041]

@GotsItGoinOn i agree completely with gotsitgoingon. it's easier at a younger age to think that playing the piano is all about technical skill and how fast you can play a difficult/virtuoso-type piece, but it is absolutely nothing of the sort. technical skill is only a tool used to bring out the beautiful sound a piano can make. that being said, well done. keep practicing.

[omgitspauly19]

been there done that buddy

[Fruitybug11]

his this even twinkle twinkle little star anymore? I think its twinkle twinkle BIG star! Good job!

[Fruitybug11]

Check out his fingers!!!

[SadaharuUchisawa]

variation 10 sounds like hes messing about

[morganjw224]

Chuck Norris got jealous so he created 120 accounts to dislike this video!

THUMBS UP!

[ariastoteles]

Bravo!

[yoan6911]

Amazing :)

[calibula13]

Why the F* this have 118 dislikes? What's wrong with you people???

[qwertical]

Hahaha Anhonty has the greatest troll ever :D

[Mattie911legend]

An absolute pleasure to listen to but to watch........ You, and especially your hands, look very akward I found it very hard to watch, yet none the less a pleasure to listen to!!!!!

[brandon97841]

Great job! try to connect your notes a bit more

[SuperJoEdwards]

you're all saying 'slow down', but i think he's incredibly talented to play it this fast, and it sounds really good, this is how i aspire to be at piano, so don't jip someone that's good

[YourMasterJustin]

SLOW DOWN BUD

[saxcoburg]

Excelent!

[bekart04]

He was actually around 25 when he composed this.

[Mozart1593]

Mozart did NOT compose this when he was 5. No one can be THAT good.

[DingosaurCanFly]

@Mozart1593 people can be that good

[FrenzyPlatypus]

"SNAIL" huh ?? You gotta be kidding me..

[Mrsdoggy321]

keep practising la! you sound silly!

[shadowkinz]

good job. keep on practicing~

[Ayamaexxi]

calm down.. it's a lulluby <3 good job however!!!!!!!!! loved it!!

[Catlovertea4]

Mozart said the piano should be played a smoothly as oil through your fingers. Keep practicing!

[Amarelaoo1]

YOUR PIANO SAY KAWAI

[Amarelaoo1]

YOUR PIANO SAY KAWAY

[StupidPian1st7]

whoa the tempo is unstable O_O and some part is toooooo fast..

[TheKiddiesChannel]

Nice!!

Check Out This DANCE REMIX to THIS SONG!!!!

[awesomelilli12]

That's awesome!! I'm 13 too..I'm working on a Haydn sonata right now bit my piano teacher said I would probably enjoy learning this:)

[MellYZoHan]

AWESOME! You're playing great! Keep going!

[MusicForever020898]

You're great! I'm also 13 now and I am going to learn this piece.

[fantagefriends8976]

wow for a 11 year old to do all that wow im amazed!!! and also i think u wrote too much on the bottom im not a long reader person haha -.-"

[123musicmax]

quiete good.

but it was a little too loud, this piece is a very gentle piece, so dont rush and play more legarto and smoother. and also, at the end of each variation, pause for about 1 - 3 seconds befor going into the next variation.

[mariephiphi2007]

MAGNIFIQUEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

A 12 ans une souplesse des doigts un moreau aranger qui plus dur

Et on a l'inprétion d'un 4 mains

Bravo a lui!

[bluepinkmonsterz]

ohhs my goshers

[xAngeLificatioN]

We should this to the kids when they reach 4.

[LMiraculous]

mozart made twinkle twinkle little star? i did not know that!

[peter102890]

@LMiraculous he didn't make it, it was a french song called "Ah vous dirai je maman" and he liked it so much that he decided he would make 12 variations on the melody. Just genius!!

[MagicalKirbyGal]

@LMiraculous He ADAPTED it. The original was a French song that was totally different.

[CharlieWillisVG]

did u play this?

[CharlieWillisVG]

wow...

[XAynicole]

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is a lot more complicated than I thought it would be.

[anthoriale]

je te trouve très doué du haut de tes 13 ans!!!!

[dragonanimestuff]

[eddymunster31]

[buddycraigg]

props to the kid. he did a good job.

[anhonty]

i cant believe Mozart composed that when he was 5

[Bridge0723]

@anhonty well, he didn't

[gandalfs284]

@anhonty He didn't. He was 25 (Wikipedia).

[pantheist46n2]

@anhonty He was 25, numbnuts

[LooneyGuitar]

@anhonty

He was actually 25 when he composed this piece.

[luigiperso]

@anhonty ,you've got it wrong, he was 25.

[YourMasterJustin]

@anhonty he did ? dam

[KMRockwell]

@anhonty Mozart was 25. not 5. Analysis of the composition show that it was written approximately 1781. Original speculation actually had it written later, when he was living in paris, but that was later shown to be incorrect. It is composition K 300e in the chronological catalog of his work. I love the wild speculation and rumors about his age when he composed this when it's so clearly documented.

[gogozeebra]

@anhonty he was 25

[gogozeebra]

@anhonty he was 25 but still amazing

[Lonereapr]

@anhonty He was 25. Google it.

[craig298yau]

@anhonty he composed that when he was 25 not 5

[Bridge0723]

@anhonty he didn't

[KakarottX]

@anhonty He was 25 years old you noob.

[trombonemassa]

@anhonty Yeah, I know. It's amazing. To put that in perspective, when Justin Bieber was five, he was still in diapers. Well, I guess he still is, so that's a bad example.

[nyo267n]

@anhonty It is true that Mozart probably started composing at 5, but just because he based these variations on a song that is popular as a children's song doesn't mean that he himself was a kid when he wrote it (as a lot of people have pointed out, he was around 25).

Good performance, by the way!

[aceshows]

@nyo267n Finally someone knows! :D

[nyo267n]

@aceshows Hehe. It's as if half of the comments on this video are trying to point out that he was actually 25, but these kind of comments seem to be perceived as "know-it-all" comments, which is why they are not thumbed up (and the "i cant believe Mozart composed that when he was 5" remains in the top).

[aramis1982]

@anhonty He actually composed it around 1778-1782, which means he was 22-25 year old, not 5.

[MegaBleachy]

@anhonty cause he's Mozart :)

But the simpler version is also nice. Just HOW talented is Mozart? Music never ceases to amaze me.

[1984ekul]

@anhonty er.. he didn't - this is from 1781 or '82 (according to Barenreiter), which would make him mid-twenties when he composed this.

[beanerman2345]

@anhonty no retart he wasn't 5 he was 25 

[anhonty]

i cant belive mozart composed that when he was 5

[GrannyGalore]

That is awesome. I am going to play it for my grandkids and see if it will inspire them. Amazing what can be done with a basic song. Keep it up.

[templespace]

:) You have practised Very HARD... You are a good student with a natural gift.... CONGRATULATIONS!!!! EVERYONE THINKS YOU ARE WONDERFUL :) I listen to you whilst I cook dinner in Australia!!! THANK YOU

[matteogd]

another one pounding the piano like on the typewriter. I need to listen soon to the version played by Clara Haskil's to erase this one from my memory

[tee123iluvme]

NOT A LULLABY but goodxx

[tee123iluvme]

NOT A LULLABY

[360claire]

Very good.

[aceonfire12]

You were 11!?!?!?!! My god you are the next Mozart!!!! (just please don't die of syphilis)

[CsFace98]

that isnt twinkle twinkle little star, that is twinkle twinkle so fucking wondergul this is!!!!!!!

[sapphirexx0909]

wow! YOURÉ AWSOME!!!(:

[lilacflowerpower]

You should put a speedometer on your hands!!!! Goodness gracious, that was fast!

[Cantora7789]

im typing a report, and listening to this makes me type faster!

[ldcamp]

Great job. You've worked very hard, and it has payed off. Please work on curving your RH 4th finger.

[DoubleEyeDominance]

@ldcamp seriously...... just stop. Your heart may be in the right place, but you're coming off like a total jackass.

[llauron117]

This piano is so Kawaï :o

[C0L050]

you also make a GLISSANDO from the begin of the 7 variation

[kjockovich]

Just beautiful !!!!

[hat1324]

@123yankeesboi throughout his entire life

[Revanchist12]

NO mere mortal can play this, he is indeed a demon

[MargaretthaJole]

BAD ENDING!!!!!!! did u know!!!! many people rate u from the ending!!!!!!!! but i think u're good!!!

[liddelot]

YOU'VE GOT AN AMAZING TALENT!

i love it <3

[smcs]

hands are small for a 13 year old.. and i'm an asian female pianist..

[chibimanga357]

@smcs he was 11 when he recorded this :)

[i9800028]

i think the keying is too heavy

[soulcalibur99999]

.. what's wrong with you people? Are you people jealous of his talent or something? Who gives a damn if he moves a lot when playing the piano. Rather than him sitting motionless like a lamo >.>... you people notice too much crap instead of the bigger picture that he is pro at playing the piano and shows a lot of passion and spirit into it unlike some other videos. This was awesome dude. Fk what the others say they're just jealous and petty.. seriously some people should get a life. Well done man

[LeGiiTxxxx]

did anyone else notice that his name is Demonguy666? lmfao! xD

he sold his soul to the devil to play that fast!

[YukiSweetyAngel]

You move more than my dog when its playing in the garden!

[chocokissablexo]

@YukiSweetyAngel if you've ever noticed, most piano players move a lot during their own concerts, too. I think it's just a way for pianists to put in their feelings towards the playing. :)

[YukiSweetyAngel]

@chocokissablexo Well maybe is true, but when i was doing classes i often move a lot to get the rythm of the music and everything. And thay say me that that was a mistake that almost a lot of piano players do.

[scottiedo2219]

anyone else think of Tom and Jerry? :D
