[sweetsubway]

[DivaGurl4life16]

PSH i thought i was good at the piano.... >_<

[serassi614]

One of more best performance of Mozart's themes

[genesisobadiah]

I LOVED IT! Audio was off though, watch closely when he presses a key and the actual sound of the piano does not match up!

[celinha1953]

BRAVO!!!

[0326dp]

When asians play twinkle twinkle little star!

[walerianczyk4]

Hooray for musical ability and intuition, I wish you good luck.

[topshonuff]

Great Job.. He's gonna get Arthritis at age 30.. lol/Just kidding..

[anzdf]

Maravillosa ejecucion.

Gracias.

[Maetel22]

mozart: so much technique, zero soul up until the very end of his life.

why doesn't anyone play shostakovich or stravinsky anymore?

[sargentpil]

it is always hard for me to feel happy about geniuses, because the achieved in their young age way more then i will ever.. so sad

[ladyannaify]

beautiful!!!!

[jerdrakkus1]

Great! Amazing! can u teach me

!

[UniqueGeekFreak]

lol the only music piece i can play on piano

[Vesivian]

Funny how he gets more views for the easy pieces rather than the insanely difficult ones like the Rhapsody in Blue and Liszts HR's...

[XxRokusasuxX]

This is simply marvelous, I've listened to many of Mozart's 12 variations from all over, Carnegie Hall included. But this boy, makes me smile as I listen to it. You see the passion in his notes, as he sways with his own beat. It shows he isn't playing the notes from his brain, but from his heart instead. It's truly wonderful to see.

[c0string]

Bravo George! Well played!

[tritonusgesang]

Brillant! - Fantastisch! :-)

[pondeflouers]

Умница!

[felicia1998able]

@prokentsful i think this is when he was 10, now is 15?

[felicia1998able]

what country is he from?



[Pianoloverok]

@felicia1998able He was born in USA so he is from USA

[GIA13615093]

@Pianoloverok so CUTE! :)

[ron619]

@Pianoloverok looks asian

[franceslss]

@Pianoloverok 'Ethnic Chinese' in other words. Born in American, but his parents are both from Hong Kong.

[narutospearman]

@felicia1998able Li by the spelling would be Chinese. If it was Lie, it would be Korean. So either Chinese-American or Korean-American.

[cscdigitalgraphics]

This brings back memories....

What a fantastic piano player!

[mmbmbmbmb]

REMARKABLE!!!

[Geezart1982]

Thumbs up!

[peter321cool]

this is awesome best song ever

[musicalsouzacampos]

I love the variations that Mozart did for: Ah vous dirai-je maman, shows all your genealogical as a composer. His interpretation was breathtaking, congratulations.

So young and so talented, Bravissimo.

[TheMrLionteam]

good job boy,,, because of your music more babies fall to sleep.

[juanchiviris]

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

[dianegalei14]

oh thats the normal version it is actually hard lmao

[SRobacker]

It's funny, I was just thinking in recent days, about this song. Then, I saw this video on my activity list here on YouTube.

Good version, good work. Take care.

[Clivejvaughan]

Good to keep up with progress - thanks !

[EmilyBearfan]

My favorite is definitely variation 3

[estrellitamia01]

Impecable, perfecto, gracias !!

[salvitagirl]

WOOW EXCEPTIONAL. CONGRATULATION.:))

[mouselegs41]

You are super awesome!!

[magik603]

@potatosuck twinkle twinkle is mozart's piece? how come? type Twinkle_Twinkle_Little_Star in wikipedia (i cant add link)

i just wanna know, but wiki say something other

btw great playing

[Vesivian]

@potatosuck Yep exactly and what more interesting is that he IMPROVISED :D it during the piano duel between him and Clementi! :)

[STJMAYN]

This is really amazing how you can take the simplest song in the world an turn it into something this extraordinary! And at only 15!

[tubbie0075]

@STJMAYN

That was not an arrangement. That was the original version of 12 variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" written by Mozart, in which the theme was based on a French folk-song of the same title. It was someone who used the theme and turned it into a nursery rhyme, twinkle twinkle little stars, then someone else reused it for ABCDEFG, then another used it for Baa Baa Black Sheep.

[mrmanwheelchair]

Genius... Wow you are amazing!!!

[Luquazable]

he's 12 in this clip

[AngstKultur]

15 year old? He looks like 9 to me... Amazing skills, though.

[anmeinersaite]

thomas

[SEAJEA6560]

[YourMasterJustin]

[striker246810]

This kid is going to be the next Lang Lang or Yundi Li !!!!!! :D

[nicole26917]

Bravo George!!!! congrats dear friend! i loved

[tomaatje1]

He may be 7 years old, but he's Asian. It doesn't count if he's Asian!

[AngusAndBubba]

his mom must be so proud..

[neverendingawesome]

it's unfair. he has a race advantage. he is Asian!

I want to be Asian too so i can play just as beautiful as he does!!

[mriellex3]

@neverendingawesome Lol. It's not about being Asian. It's about discipline and determination. :p

Let's pretend this didn't come from another Asian who also knows how to play the piano.

[jochemVDO]

Absolutely fantastic nice and good

[jemapiano]

Absolutely fantastic!!! Bravo!

[ijustwantalife]

at first i thought there was a mirror next to the piano, but then it would be creepy....

[amandaismysister]

But He's Asian

[purpleomg11]

my friend can play this shes FREAKY! shes 11!

[SEThatered]

I love how he is into music with his whole body.

Beautifully and masterfully played!

[MissYinKS]

WOW!!

[Zorozangel]

Yes 10 stars! Beautiful music..........Bravo!

[2011misaxchegando]

10 ****************

[klevrah]

why would you dislike this.... SICKENING WICKED EVIL PEOPLE!!!

[ltran90]

i think george li will be a fine pianist. however kissin in his age was regarded much more talented as he is now. i doubt he will be the next richter or horowitz. there are just so many good pianists on youtube but no geniuses =(

[Roxann308]

@ltran90 Golly - George is only 11 years old in this video....and even then, he was approaching world class....hmmmm....I sure hope he doesn't become the next Horowitz - he's electrifying and nonpareil as George Li. If this is not genius, then perhaps there is no such thing.

[libi0006]

where can I find the fast version of variation 11 ?

[ccqccl]

everybody would be famous if we can play like him!!!!!!!

[Makashi11]

very even playing - the mark of a good pianist

[14597ojai]

brilliant. purely.

[ivocarvalhosalles]

Great performance, congratulations

[1aidoun]

@JiSO1 - When you do music at this level, it is so much a part of you and inside you that it's like talking. I used to play guitar professionally. There are a few thousand pieces on music in my head, that I can hear anytime simply by thinking them. One fun thing was to memorize all the different parts of each instrument used in Eine Kleine Nachtmusik so I could hear the whole thing, or any part, in my head, any time. Not everyone can do it, but performance-level musicians need this skill.

[paulostroff99]

Amazing playing technique..TY George for sharing.

[stephlim8]

you can immediately tell by the way he thinks about the song and mentally prepares before that he is a performer and that he has been trained to do so. wonderful technique. so precise.

[MJJHelen]

amanzing !

[JiS01]

He's not playing with ANY partiture of papers???? WOW

[drummermind]

Ah! vous dirai-je, maman... Mozart variation. Well done!

[terence642]

wonderful! A simple song changed into other versions.

[vTHExUNKNOWENv]

So very grand & lovly job this young man did.

[alisonjanehow]

Wow George, congratulations; a remarkable young man with a bright future. Hope you continue to enjoy your music. Alison Jane How. B. Mus.Ed,University of Melbourne.

[JakeObnial]

You must've practiced long hours :D

I'm a year late in commenting in this video that you shared Pianoloverok.. though isn't it that the title of this piece is "The 12 Variations of Mozart?" lol!

Anyway, nice job and I hope to see more challenging pieces in the future :)

[WilltheTowelie]

@JakeObnial WEll, if you wanna get technical, the title is Ah vous dirai-je Maman (Don't know the english translation, but Maman means mother.)

[JakeObnial]

@WilltheTowelie Yeah, that's the name of the tune that was used as basis, but it still varies from the original French melody due to the various playing styles and tempos :)

[blossom746]

OMG! Geroge li is an amazing piano player. Just watch his hands run back and forth on the keyboard. his hands looks like a rubber band. This song is so long and he memorized it. His articulations are amazing.

[MizSamimi]

ich bin ausgeflippt he is playing it better than me

[Errylein]

@MizSamimi

ja man, sau krass !!!

[spaceexplorer5000]

Lyrics?lol

[Heatherbroadway]

his attention to the melody in the right hand is outstanding, while keeping the left hand quiet and not heavy. very nice!

[jonny21099]

cool very good i wonder who is his teacher

[EarthWolfSkyDragon]

Thumbs up if he spent 45 seconds getting in his chair!

[PhenoxPsi]

OMG HE IS GOOD

[nickybrvideos]

He's brilliant! But wow... that's a busy schedule for such a young man! Good for you George! 我喜欢黎卓宇!

[Nutellaschnecki]

Everybody tells me your good playing piano. but it's nothing compared to THIS ! (:

congrats wish you the best and keep that up (:

[montains]

That child is simply adorable, he reacts to music very well. He is extremely talented.

[MomentWithNoTime]

Incredible, it's so beautiful !!!

[ExcellentConfusion]

Aww. He's so adorable. <3 The expressions he makes while he plays is amazing.

He's far better than I can ever plan to be on piano. He is completely excellent. :D

[AdvaitSarkar]

Excellent work, very good phrasing and control! Even though his wrists are a little floppy now (2007?), he'll soon grow out of that. He could certainly have a career in this if he wanted.

[BlueAquaMarina]

Exceptional!! Congratulations!! Thank you!!

[Poljub19]

EXCELLENT!

[MsChangchangchang]

Wow! You are really good!

[nikkitytom]

Possibly the best ... and certainly the freshest ... interpretation of this old classic that I've ever heard. Magnificent playing .... technically breathtaking and with an emotional range usually not found in one so young. Beautiful!

[stsaldo]

CONGRATULATIONS, BEAUTIFUL

[bigrabbit5354]

He's more better than Marc Yu!!!

[darpop220]

I'm afraid to say he's not playing it you can tell at certain parts

[MyKawaiiPeach]

@darpop220 oh wow, I'm so glad you made such a great non-existent discovery. If he's not playing then who is? Care to enlighten me with these certain areas of interest?

[MyKawaiiPeach]

@darpop220 could have been lagging at the end, that's why it wasn't in sync with his playing

[marionb24]

Where is he performing? Because it looks like the stage of my old high school.

[JoshdaROCKSTAR9999VS]

36 people dont know what great music is

[Robbie0Music0Critic]

This piece isn't famous for no reason; just love your rendition of it! You will not be a star George, this you already are!

[Myself0412]

beautiful, how old is he?

[creestee1977]

outstanding, congrats!

[sandyfloyd1019]

I ACCIDENTLY PRESS ON THE WRONG BUTTON BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO LISTEN TO MOZARTS FOR MY SON

[khailung11]

@mynameisalexyu

[Bellabachir]

It's good to learn an instrument went you're young, the brain is all fresh and ready to learn, but when you get older it gets harder and harder to learn such things...

[misskalixte]

4:40 such cute expression!

[MrN00binator]

this song really isn't that difficult it just sounds very impressive. The arpeggios are quites simple really, nothing compared to chopin's ocean etude or nocturne in c# minor... Both are amazing pieces of art. This kid is still pretty darn good though, i must say, especially for a 7 year old kid.

[ralphM1114]

@MrN00binator That's why i think he's so brilliant - even simple arpeggios, when played by him, are floods of pleasure to one's ear. :)

[MrN00binator]

@ralphM1114 True... He is really good.

[wennescence]

You`re marvelous!

[kyohou329]

なんてなめらかなのだ！！



[xxzxcusxme]

This left hand in this is just sick!!

[CakeyRelates]

I wanted to learn the song....until i found out it was 7 minutes....

[CakeyRelates]

where can i find the piano notes for this song!

[Bellabachir]

@CakeyRelates Try and Google it?

[4898home]

whoa...xD im learning that song O.o but hes amazing =O!!!

~koolio person~
