Ariel plays Bach prelude and fugue (Book 2, G major)

[zimnaya]

Superb, playing - technique and feeling are there. Excellent. Very enjoyable!

[viewbody]

if people would get over themselves, and stop comparing themselves, and actually observe his way of playing, theyd see how relaxed his arms are... since his arms are so relaxed his hands are free to work on the music, and gravity keeps them into the keyboard, therefore using less energy... BUT NOPE... SORRY GOTTA TAKE THE LOW ROAD<< OH BOO HOO FOR YOU.

This little Mozart is going to become a millionaire.

[megasanaii]

wishful thinking, pianisten89.

Indeed, the boy just loves to play.

And, by the way, he is the best.

actually pianisten89 he said on his website that he's in love with piano and no parent forced him to play. Don't look at me, look at this website

[faaang]

that is so rude, i know someone who was playing when they were 2 and her parents didn't make her, shes an adult now and loves to play piano.

notice you said "her" girls are more obidient than boys as they get older

Kudos to Ariel's teacher. He has nice, fluid, relaxed technique--that kind of suppleness in the wrists doesn't come without some good instruction. And I can tell the artistic concepts were explained well to him, too. Talent grows a lot better if it's in the right hands....nice to see this is the case with Ariel.

Wonderful performance! You are awesome, Ariel!

[lalala88omg]

Ahh! I hate this kid! Here I am, almost 18 years old and havenv't played a single bach, and there he comes, and is like 7 and play Bach like that! ;<

[Panicitskathy]

thats too cool

[petboyjon]

oh my god, it just doesn't seem natural that someone so young can be so good!

[malcomhunter]

ee,

lo mismo digo

[bumcakes]

beeautiful!

[kuronekoyama]

They can't afford to buy a new camera and new recording equipment, they spent all their money on that piano. :P

[DragonAqua]

beautiful!!!

[bugs091]

Outstanding virtuosity on Ariel's part. That's not the easiest piece to play, and he did so superbly.

The video, though, could have been better. The white balance and focus were off and the camera work shaky and distracting. Far worse, though, the sound levels were set too high and caused clipping.

Some of this may have been caused by limitations of the camera. A trip to a good camera or electronics shop may be in order, because this kid's talent warrants better quality videos.

Hey Bugs it has been reduced to a flv file. What do you expect? Be happy with what you get. It cold have been NOTHING! Ariel is simply awesome. I got his CD 31 Bars. It is nothing short of spectacular.
