[pawbard]

So true and rueful, and tastefully staged. Thank you!

[antonia0623]

Very well done and beautiful setting

[FanShostakovich]

wow what a marvelous interpretation!

[Corrupt5358]

That was beautiful!

[tinaswan1]

It sounds sooo beautiful!

[dapithapon]

oh, very young and already playing a masterpiece

[FsnTanimation]

I think that the audio and picture are slightly out of sinc. Great playing though

68 people are idiots, they don't understand the mother of all musics

[BuyNLarg3]

So beautiful !

[jmhanco]

Very nice work. A very sensitive playing!

[brijii]

Ahhh the ya go...I was just jealous of your playing... Magnificent!!!!!

[Bellevp88]

Wonderfull piece! I'm playing it myself for the moment and it is one of my favorite pieces... I small comment is that the sound of the video is running behind on the video...

Best regards!

[spy153]

Repeat...Repeat...Repeat.  I love this, so I keep replaying it. :-)

[tinaxo88]

perfect! :)

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

Nodame Cantabile!!!

[heyoprincess]

This is beautiful.

[HERMIONExCANTxDRAW]

Classy.

[tarodenberg]

I grew up practicing classical work on the piano and violin and stopped pursuing after college. LG and her inspiration from classical music has reintroduced me to these marvelous works. Thanks for your amazing performance.

[QueenTartufo]

You play it beautiful! I think Ill start on this, after I finish Debussy Arabesque. I have to admit. Lady Gaga's new videoclip from Marry The Night brought me here. Its premiering tonight, but she already said the Beethoven Pathétique was going to be in it. This is going to get a lot of views in the next days I think. ;)

[Nelloxxy]

@QueenTartufo Same here!

[AkoolStick]

I'm analyzing this piece as my music theory homework while I'm listening to this. It's so interesting analyzing beethovens genius! :'3

[jingwong829]

piano really nice......player also

[ClareRocioeo535]

well Lets rock baby

[Nicholas0611]

Nice piano, great player, good music.

[marmie88]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[tobyhk97]

[ElNath645]

I think I teared...

[TheRilonator]

i've noticed all comments on beethoven videos contain lots of big words.

also this sonata is teh secks

[MaishaHalliefr575]

so cute girl waiting to be discovered

[clankrat]

nodame cantabile

[CraigDirty]

Super easy song. Iplayed this at my first recital ever when I was 8.Iam 30 now and sadly I cannot remember how to play it without sheet music.

[TransV1000]

The start movement 3 in Symphony no. 9 sounds a bit like this

[ikikikke]

When I was a little guy, my mom used to play this as I was lying in bed. This brings back great memories.

[andremoreira20]

only one of the most beautiful musical pieces of all time.

[1monayoussef]

Beautfuly played, bravo Geraldine

[g7727]

The room looks warm and inviting.

[lucash72]

66 People is thinking in trying to commit suicide...

[TheRealJuKo]

how come we all need to show off? who cares if it's easy or hard, it's a good piece and any pianist who can play it should be proud of it.

[Silverandgold01]

Beautiful

[Gazonkie]

incredible

[BlackandPinkDoll]

NOOOOO, why did it end? :(

[meluiz18]

Wow...BEAUTIFUL performance! O.O You put SO much emotion into playing it--its quite breathtaking :) *sigh* what wud we do without Beethoven?

[qz3bmz]

Breathtakingly beautiful...time stops while this music plays

Thanks so much for performing and posting

[marmie88]

Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

[mississippideltagirl]

Well played, sir.

[lovelygirl658]

mmh Tell me your fantasies and let's make them a reality

[muscovydrake]

Why would someone go to the effort of pretending to play for a good 20 minutes?

'-- Some people will do anything to hide their incompetence at recognising a great musician.

[kaify12]

Amy Lee sent me here

[autumnstarrs]

Added to my favorites, Bravo! 

[167sourisverte]

My dad died in January of this year. He played that piece as I was growing up. This piece brings me closer to him as he lies in his grave. RIP dad. love, Denise xxxoooxxx

[MrPlaya23ish]

@167sourisverte dude

[lllllllllllllll88]

@167sourisverte - I'm so sorry you lost your Dad. May he RIP...

This is a beautiful piece and Michiel Roosen plays it well.

[CatBahptista]

@167sourisverte

Sad to hear that, best wishes!

[sc9nd1n9v19n]

I was mesmerized watching your hands, such beautiful fingers...and the music felt like a pain in my chest. Very stirring.

[x3sarawrx3]

I'm learning this right now :P but this is played really well!! :D

[ekhmuel]

out of sync? Well, watching his fingering he's just right. (I can play the score too, but prefer listening to others.)

[ahristop94]

my favorite piece... reminds me of a better day

[tinkerbells2012]

It really looks as though he feels the music. I appreciate the Preformance. Thank you.

[Confession68]

Actually, it you really pay attention, the music is not off from the video at all. It's right on sync. Just sometimes, you can't see the movement of his fingers. Also keep in mind, he is using both hands to play this piece. If you watch inside the piano, it's always right on sync with the music he is playing. So, whoever said it's fake, because it's not on sync, just has no idea what he's talking about.

[getmdb]

really beautiful and, whilst some think that the use of pedal is a little over in places, any pianist will understand that personality must be used to enjoy and apply your own characters .... I have a Yamaha G and like this gentleman, the bass on these instruments really give superb low notes.

[getmdb]

in fact ...after writing this, it has given me the incentive to start hunting the shops for a good used C3 and swap my G for the same as this chap !!!

[TheRealJuKo]

This piece is so peaceful and free... it reminds me of a sunny day where you relax and do whatever you feel like. amazing playing! ^^

[DOMOSaBeast]

Beautiful :)



[Yotta1983]

Beautiful master piece

[IdrealMari]

beautiful! i will be playing this piece for contest, this helped a lot. It is really hard to find a person that doesn't play it to fast, and you played it at the right speed.

[lovestarhope]

oh yea! YAMAHA!

[beneludwig]

well played, but you should try not to use the sustain pedal and play more legato instead.

[kaitokita]

I love playing this. It has a soft, almost lullaby feeling to it.

[Fernando31611]

SO beautiful. If you hear the first part and the the second, you realize it is real. Itis his music, his way of playing....

Awesome

[k3nXDal]

i played this song when i was little. its easy if you have been playing for a long time

[SarkasticGaming]

came here cos toby played this

[M024R7]

Sync

[xxBelieverGirlxx]

He is playing...its just not in sync....even if he wasnt playing, thumbs up for trying.

[k3nXDal]

@xxBelieverGirlxx yea its just the audio on youtube is behinde, that happens in alot of videos on here, its not his fault

[imagineaboringlife]

I like how it's all professionally edited and then it's just your living room. It's good but it's funny.

[Alexis2869]

Beautiful ^^

[grzegorz19plonka]

Bardzo dobrze grales.

[lotorobly]

here's another example of plagiarism, this music is by Beethoven, but Beethoven is dead nd he was also deaf so STOP CHEATING THE PEOPLE

[x3sarawrx3]

@lotorobly This isn't plagiarism everyone knows this is by Beethoven. Lots of people play this song and post it on youtube. No one says they wrote it XD

[lotorobly]

@x3sarawrx3 could it be because of his drugs intake?¿ u_u He seems like his plaging something anyhow. I don't mean he is not good at playing -if he is not in playback #_

[malcom902]

@x3sarawrx3 I don't know why every like' this guy it looks like he's just got a cramp in his foot

by the expresions he makes!

[x3sarawrx3]

@malcom902 WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT I SAID? O_O

[elcangriblack]

@malcom902 = WTF So your going to ignore this guy's beautiful interpretation just because of his "EXPRESSIONS" <- Are you retarded or something oh wait your the same guy that was on another video being a dumb ass (OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS)

[hikarufuego]

i love your piano playing... you have concerts?

[HeartTrief]

haha found the name of the song in my book Little Women/Good Wives ;D

[jorgevillarroel]

This is a rondo....

[RussianSickle3]

This tempo is very beautiful, i think it is andante cantablie or somthin

[neji9889]

The most difficult part isn't the notes, its distributing the weight of your hands to bring out the melody. I was never satisfied with how i play this piece, and i don't think anyone can honestly say they are.

[crazyAsianguyTV]

did anyone notice that the timing is a little off?

[99wolfina]

OMG my lil sis can play this song, she has been trying to get it right for a year and she finaly got it :D well proud!

[Foxfang27]

omg i can play this!!!!! its such a beautiful song

[LOTRzagorath]

A beautiful performance of a beautiful piece of music!

I'd love for people to check out my version and let me know how I'm going. It should be in the video responses soon if it gets accepted :)

[doomless198]

can say that 2nd part is easier than first and third parts with technique but hardest with emotional side

[UtBDan]

you, sir, make me cry.

[LLAMASAREFRIENDS]

i love this piece so much, trying to learn it.

[WitchKing98]

@xxBelieverGirlxx I have one thing to say to people like you "shut the hell up!" we dont need trolls complaining on a video! If you don't like it then leave I think we all can live without you people's negative bullcrap!!'

[kib52651]

I love it !!!

[xxBelieverGirlxx]

this IS pathetic

[StradAmatiViolin]

@xxBelieverGirlxx No. It's called Pathetique

[Beethoven1011]

@Shard52 it may not look like he is playing but there may actually be either a lag in the video or, when exporting, the audio got disconnected from the video – these things do happen! @HappyHeathen32 is right, if you want to complain, do it somewhere else, Please and Thank you! :)

[A093130]

@Beethoven1011 No I play this and his fingering is more than correct. Pianists can learn from this.

[chessmassacre]

@Beethoven1011

Also, the fluidity in the way they majestically caress the keys, sometimes gives the effect of the audio and the video not syncing as well. It is an illusion mch like the slight of hand of a magician. Playing music like this is not just hammering keys, rather, it is applying the right pressure for the correct sustain. Good musician, this guy.

[kristinparker22]

So gorgeous! I really needed to hear this piece right now. Thank you so much for sharing.

[TorLorien]

 Very nicely played and filmed:)

[xXshaunzieXx]

I have to laugh at the people who think its fake just cause its a little bit out of sync.

Being all proud of themselves cause they think theyre clever. x)

Beautiful piece am planning on learning it!

Thanks for playing!

Also the piano is gorgeous. =)

[musicislife748]

@xXshaunzieXx It's a lovely song to learn. If you need the sheet music reply back

[MrNicknah]

@musicislife748 i got the music today from my teach.. its challenging song but it is very lovely

[MDkid1]

@MrNicknah its not bad...I learned it when I was about 12 or 13.

[Silk7301]

@xXshaunzieXx It actually insults me when people say things like because I can't see any situation where you'd pretend like you could play better or faster then you can by speeding it up. It's insulting to say things like that. I appreciated this music and he played it very well! Anyone who says otherwise shouldn't be here.

[Gymnast1496]

what kind of piano is that? anyone know!?

[1954mikel]

pathetic is this man. Not playing.

[galebreeze]

@1954mikel @pastorjohn618 you retards -.- this shows, a) you know NOTING about piano and b) you are too stupid to realise that this video is out of sync. get out.

[lousycactus]

@1954mikel No, pathetic is your understanding of video syncing.

[pastorjohn618]

You are TOTALLY not playing that!

[TheSchoolWorld]

Do you compose as well?

[iandec23]

5 Stars!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing:)

[hayleywins]

River Phoenix played this in "Running On Empty" and I was hooked! You played wonderful Michiel with beautiful surroundings. Thanks so much for sharing your gift with the world!

[littlemissdaisies]

Beautiful playing. =)

[iandec23]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing

[TULK4Z]

OMG Samurai x made me love this song!! Poor Yumi, she died to this song, and it made it look ten times sadder. Beautiful song!

[vagocontrova1]

!OH MELANCOLIA!

[anko8aug]

this is a beautiful song good job!

[anko8aug]

checkout -->louise tucker and charlie skarbek -midnight blue

[delflago]

Wonderful playing. I following along with the score.

[denisfalqueto]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

[lastdon1974]

It's not at all difficult. I played it as my final in my second semester in college piano. That was the first yr I played the piano. Memorized the notes though. Great piece.

[DagMagnuson]

Well done! That was beautiful.

[albe1701]

I'm trying to pull this melody out in my spare time. I've just been working in Für Elisse, so I don't know if I'll be up to it, but I'll give it a try at least.. You perform VERY good, by the way, congratulations!

[TheRekisum]

Beautiful

[teamvibralux]

is this hard?

[Hauris]

@teamvibralux It's very difficult, unless you have been playing for a pretty long time.

[Damianrock]

@teamvibralux maybe technically is not the most difficult... it requires hard study indeed... the difficulty is on the performance... what you express... that's difficult, and that's something that one doesn't earn with the years...

cheers!!!

[TheWtfnametaken]

@ilikepi3point14 dbegert is right it means Pathetic but not in a pitiable way but rather in the sense of "having Pathos".

[Hilikis]

What model Yamaha are you playing on? I'm guessing a C2 or 3?

[dbegert]

@ilikepi3point14 No, I got it. I was hoping you were being sarcastic because pathetique doesn't just SOUND like pathetic, it MEANS pathetic in french. In other words, the exact opposite of ironic.

[lkovler]

Michiel.. That was beautiful and an inspiration! Just started learning a few months ago...thank you!

[IloveManUtd94]

Like your house

[BigMedley]

I'm learning this piece. Without a doubt the funnest thing I have ever played.

[musicislife748]

@BigMedley Is it hard? I really want to play it.

[ApenasMusico]

ele gravou ou dublou ????

[tomatoeee]

Move with the music, flow with it. Don't play notes, make music!

[gabsgobygab555]

my favorite peace...

i want this to be the song you play when i meet you...

[SailorSaturn02]

@gabsgobygab555 its spelt "piece" peace is something else.

[okhabin]

I wanna live in your house

[superYnova]

the most things are ok, but the end is very very loud !

[BlazzingSaber]

Just the right tempo I wanted :)

[Renagle2005]

Is the video and the music off sync??

[evangelia96]

@Renagle2005 yeah, obviously

[anlib27]

what a great song!

keep exercising!

[andersonguate]

1562 votes had this video, 58 voters were deaf or with mental disorders..!

[Unbeloved27]

I like it.. Exxpresive... just have a Hard left Hand more carefully.....pls.

[tricianch]

I think this sounds too stiff

[decozac59]

I hope my piano pupils NEVER play this badly!!

[jamiedoer2]

@decozac59 If you'd rather insult than offer constructive criticism, then I hope you never HAVE piano students.

[dbegert]

@ilikepi3point14 I really hope that's sarcasm... If so, well done sir.

[fannatic19]

am i the only one who noticed how nice your house is? love the window view!! ahem..back to main topic. i've been trying to get the upper melody to 'sing' but it's so hard. I think you did mostly a good job of tha (exception of a few accidental accents)t.

[jordyboy321]

almost made me cry haha reminds of charlie brown

[respree]

Well done. :)

[generaldiseray1414]

i first heard this song when i saw this video a couple of months ago. since then i have learned how to play this song and do so everyday cause i love it so much. you play this song beautifully and thank you for inspiring me to learn this.

[TheRekisum]

A very beautiful singing tone, all the best for you, Gerhard

[missmusica21]

absoloutly lovely :) you've inspired me to play this. well done :D

im hoping i will have perfected this by june time for my school concert :!

[mmf3194]

precioso

[gabrielleboss2]

I like hamburgers with ketchup and mayo ! Nice house by the way ! but I prefere Mettalica !

[abrahammulder]

I find it to fast sometimes, but good played!! The articulation is good but I have the feeling that at the end the tempo is higher than in the beginning. It is a Adagio, although cantabile: in my opinion to fast played. I'm studying it right know and I'm not so good as you I must admit. I also miss the staccato notes at the end, you play it legato. It is a rahter difficult piece to play it on the proper way. But I like your playing, great piano!!

[theawesomegurl224]

wow i love this song is so smooth and peaceful

[GottxistxLiebe]

very well played. the video is off-timing though.....otherwise i love this song.

[haru1ove]

Beautifully played. However, the main theme in the very beginning, C-Bflat-Eflat-Dflat-C....etc..­. It sounds like C-Bflat-Eflat-Bflat-Dflat-C.. note that the second B flat is written in the lower voice, and it shouldn't sound as a part of the main melody.. Not that I play piano better than you but..

[respree]

Beautifully placed. Melody line was 'singing'! Well done.

[VictorTrufflebutt]

I like turtles.
