Tarantella by Pieczonka - Piano Dept Honors Recital

[Musikman2013]

The dynamics are excellent, the tempo though it's PRESTISSIMO, around 168 bpms. Nice job.

[jc10girl]

I'm learning the exact same song and I tell you that you arms HURTS after that!

[Mrronren1]

[hanadewi3]

[Clims1]

imprsionantttttteeeeeeeeeeeeee­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[artedellemuse]

Breathtaking. Goshhh. Keep it up! :bd

[jackula83]

is this really a grade 4 piece? :o

[heirofskil]

@jackula83 No, but he's asian so... XD

[ceciliavaldivia]

Molto bravo, complementi!!

[collegerox4]

The middle part is to slow and bad pedal. If you work on your phrasing you can be alittle better. Work on your dynamics and actually pushing down the notes. There was some places where i heard nothing, it sounded like you missed a note.

[Flubagin]

I'm doing this piece for my piano exam and I wish mine sounds as good as that!

[wardxa0011]

do you call that presto?

[laerciolira1]

Bravo !!!

[Wavewolfaroha]

Bravo--great style!

[MishaTandler]

Very good control! Everything seems quite healthy. The only thing that is holding you back are the low wrists. Instead of trying to keep your wrists up think of your thumb not playing on the bone but at a slight slant towards the keys. This will keep the wrist in the correct position and also will be easier to do without too much concentration which usually makes the shoulders go up (adding yet another problem). I enjoyed your performance very much! Bravo!

[laerciolira1]

Bravo !!!!

[coolmanofpower]

You are simply amazing and I really enjoyed your video.

[boydrumsonwhat]

Asian's let you make me smile :D

[TheOliviab1]

[Skiyzify]

@iTenseHD What's wrong with asian?

[taylor1595]

[freakymasochistic]

[PIECE2YOURMOTHA]

[numsify]

@PIECE2YOURMOTHA

You can get this piece out of a book called Recital Winners Volume 1

Compiled and Edited By Carole L. Bigler and Valery Lloyd-Watts

The song Tarantella is written by Albert Pieczonka

[Malgosial]

Look at you! So little and such small hands! Has it really been only 3 years?

[Wiegenlied09]

The tempo sounds perfect...

AWESOME...

[marilovelasha1111]

a LITTLE slow and other than the few mistakes.....hes amazing!

[wegettheW]

this isn't a hard song

but certain parts take foreverrr to get down

props to this kid

(besides the couple of mistakes)

[asiannerd55]

This guy can play this song so much better than I can.

[romaamber]

ohh , i can play this on piano

[musicisinmeforever]

too slow...supposed to be presto, this is about allegretto I would say.

[wegettheW]

2-3 mistakes, but amazing :)

[Metallgarurumon]

he's so young, but plays so well *g*

[Idiosyncrasyful]

My favorite performance of this piece on this website.

[omgNickJ]

sooo goooooddddd 

[gangstah181]

your piano is very clear, magnificent, also with feelings! i love it. i wish i could also play like that..mixa

[DDoctorLLove]

It looks like your about to slide off the bench!

[Nippersrox]

@DDoctorLLove UR MAMA"S GONNA FALL OFF THE SIDE OF THE BENCH :)

[DDoctorLLove]

@Nippersrox Hahahahaha

[LoiMusic]

You did Awesome! I Love it!

[cocoa12able]

WTF...... uh CORRECTION!!!!

"Tarantella" means spider dance from the root word "Tarantula" which is SPIDER...

its a ritual dance, believed that if you dance it, it will cure a spiders bite in a human.....

so ITS NOT LIKE WAVY~BODY... lol.... AND.... i think you speed is just "vivace" not PRESTO....fuck..... by the way, nice performance XD

[DaHappyGang]

If you were a vegetable, you'd be either an eggplant or a turnip.

If you were an instrument, you'd be root beer.

[LilZazacute]

W.O.W :)

[smeeIT]

Best performance of this piece I have seen on youtube! Magnificent job. :)

[xpoopayyx]

i am such a noob. i play it slower >.> i guess this is how the song should sound?

[cocoa12able]

There is some correction TT_TT..... there is many "cresendo" in that piece, i cant tell cuz u might not understand.... i kinda like the waving body

[FangsUpCobraFans]

Okay, so I'm onto te third page now! (1:00) Ugh. I got the notes, I just can't make it sound like you yet!! :)

[biazarattini]

to toda arrepiadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa

[muty1093]

finally, i can play this song, but not as good as he is!

[sid0master]

GREAT

[TeleologicalMote]

He gave the keys the time they required on this piece. Good job.

[Wiegenlied09]

one of my favorites...

[FunPuff1998]

I'm 11 and have been trying hard to keep up with the speed but i just really CAN'T do that HOW THE HECK does he do that?!?

[alexalex9635]

@FunPuff1998 Cause you're retarded and you can't play, i can play very well.

[killerboi993]

@alexalex9635 SUP BACH

[FunPuff1998]

@alexalex9635 whatever, just because i said that doesn't mean you have to say im abnormal/retarded.... FYI I'm improving in piano, BEAT THAT! And if you reply to me again, dont be amazed when you find the Grim Reaper waiting at your front door. XD

[AlfonsoYap7477]

Nice...

[laura2Julia]

Does anybody have the original notes ? I only have some easier notes..

Sorry if my english is wrong, I'm from Germany :)

[MsHeathieLiz]

Very nicely done! I'm 27 years old and I have been working on this one for a long time, watching you play was inspirational!

[MartinRaetzJr]

Very nice piece, very well played.

[narutouzumakijoshua]

great! perfect tempo!

i'm currently learning this song

[SaveTheEarth93]

I have seen quite a few other people play this, but i definitely like your performance the most. I think the speed is perfect, and you play the effects very well. I'm playing this piece for district music festival, and hopefully my performace will sound something like yours:)

[pandasRkool]

hes reallly good that song is like 7 pages long (i have to play it at a recital) i dont think ill be able to memorize it...

[britphone]

don't worry it repeats itself quite a lot

[xXCherryBlossom360Xx]

My friend knows how to play this song and she's been bragging about it for a while

[047marie]

perfect

so jealous

he's so good, it's been a long tym dat i've never had some piano lessons

[dannyramms]

Felicitaciones!.. ;) Siga asi!

[ZITROANELE]

para su edad toca muy bien!!

[guineapig8796]

I luv this song it is very well played my piano teacher has this song and she plays it well 2!!!!!!!!!!

[xtrippax01]

how hard is this song how long did it take you to learn?

[wateva2234]

It's mainly at a fourth grade level...

For me it took a couple of weeks..

(not meant to be sounding like I'm speaking for the guy) lol

[chew23]

Bravo!

[iwearcleansocks]

No I'm serious. He sucks.

[jlspma]

this is not bad at all.

there one thing though: I hate piano prodigies like this one for one reason. They're very cocky. I remember when I was in shool there was this kid not even 2 years younger than me and he played in one the cubicle-sized studio we had at our school. It was big enough to fit a piano 2 chairs and nothing else. That guy was ALWAYS there. Whenever someone looked at him through the window in the door, He raised his posture and played away as cockily as possible. IT's irritating

[younhafan124]

not bad not bad at all.

but i have to agree with the guy below me. more EMOTION.

[band5567]

This piece is played very good overall, but it needs to be played with more fire. This piece is exciting, and should have more dynamic changes. I also think it should be played a teeny bit faster. The middle section should be played more freely and with more emotion. It shouldn't sound like you are playing it with a metronome. But overall...it was good.

[duchess04]

Don't pay any mind to the ignorant comment made by the obnoxious loser below me. I learned this piece about six years ago and you play it beautifully! You're very talented; keep up the good work!!! Bravo!!!!!

[iwearcleansocks]

I played this better than you when i was 8. no joke

[lessthanmrjake]

just get to fuck if youve got nothing nice to say.. he plays it well so away nd shove yer clean socks up yer arse (Y)

[blackcrystaltears]

man i was just in a competition and like 8 kids younger than me played this song...better than i probably could. really makes ya want to crack down on the practicing *depressed sigh*

[shakew111]

im currently practicing this song... about one day i've cleared out the intro and first stuff. Its that easy you know

[magalialarid]

Bravooooooo!!! :D

I liked it so much!

[OmegaOwA]

Man I'm probably about 3 or 4 years older than this kid, and he plays this piece with way more precision and clarity than me! He's got talent

[xxURUHAxx]

piano really isnt about age. its more about how much talent and how much you atually practice.

[OmegaOwA]

Yeah, I know. It's just that at young ages, most kids just see music a s another piece of work, rather than a work of art. I wouldn't say rare, but it's not as likely to see a child who understands the art and beauty of music at a young age. Just saying

[MelRules911]

THAT WAS GREAT! BROVO!!!!!

[Edge3x]

Piano hero!

[ibim]

very good!!!!!

[jmlcomposer]

search:nicholas age 11. and clic on vidd number 3

[DeidaralovesSoraya]

omg thats amazing! i hope i'll be able to play that piece on day ;D

[googolplexhax]

No wonder he was so good! He's asian! ASIAN PRIDE! XD

[guycrosswell]

he looks like mc lovin

[yummypiano]

is this a hard piece?

[emilyforcefivee]

not at all. it is very simple, i just learned it and memorized it and it took me about 5 weeks, with school and track and everything going on. it just sounds hard because it's fast.

[fergieferg007]

that was great... and for all you who say he's showing off... that's not showing off! it's enjoying what you play!!!!!!!.... KEEP IT UP BOY!

[cherrylips89]

omg i cant believe it im trying to learn it and i just cant!! lol i admire u kid!! amazin performance

[xXxHeavenlyWolfxXx]

the part where u started playing at 0:27. u made the left hand so beautiful and made the song so lively. i loved the performence and u r great!

[joannemassoud87]

BRAVO!!!!

[girlsgeneration101]

Wow got skills

[earwasel2]

good performance, especially at his age

btw, people that brag about how well they play are scrubs...music should be about emotion, not skill

[IAmAMysteryPerson]

I actually confused of this... Why does people actually call this kid smart when you know that a LOT of people around his age can also do this... Look, I mean... when I was 10, I can play all the Sonata 1st, 2nd, and 3rd movement around 10 freakin' pages long easily and without even looking at the sheet with just practising around a week. (But now I forgotten because I don't play it much...)

[xXxHeavenlyWolfxXx]

it all depends how long u've been playing piano for. at age 10 i didint or barely started piano. since u say u 4got and dont play it anymore i guess all ur "talents" have been wasted and therefore it wouldnt matter at all

[elfcool324]

So what if he's showing off. When I was 11, I played only half of this so deal with it if he's so awesome cuz he is. And you say all the crap yyou want about him. NOBODY CARES HE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[CaEs19]

WOW. i can't even master it yet especially with the 2nd part. the range of the keys are too long D:

[waveboarder221]

look seriously. this kid is dreadful. and if your so good, challenge me to a piano battle on video, pussy.

[sting2death2]

This kid is amazing !!

[MelRules911]

holy cow how old are you?

[waveboarder221]

i concur, but classical music isnt also about being unimpressive.

[BeckyPantz]

Get over yourself ... You don't need to put others down just because you may have achieved more. You don't even know how long he has been playing! Your so rude!

[Kalen1457]

Thats great kid but you don't need to brag about it. Classical piano playing isn't about impressing people(well a little bit.I suppose) its about liking it.

[MoleSnyper]

hey dude... no one likes a smartass. its not gonna earn u respect.. so yea. stop braggin how u can play chopin valse opus blah blah.

[simonniebla]

im a pianist too ,but im not as young as you are. By the way tarantella's are fast.

[GeneralHobog]

Good job kid

[PolarSquirrel]

you're so good! i'm still learning how to play this.

[luv2act1408]

you are amazing....

[pooooooooop12121]

im learning this piece

[waveboarder221]

it's too slow! the tempo marking says presto which means super fast

[loveismydestruction]

give the kid a break! he's learning! this is pretty fantastic all things considered.

[river6000]

i am currently learning how to play this piece for my recital but i cant play it like u

great job!

[smcs]

when i learned this, i was 13.. my speed was the same as he did... hey! i suck at presto.. most of my pieces are presto but i couldn't always get them right at that tempo...

[anaesthertaveras]

You are so talented!!, I love the way you play, I like your posture, the energy and the most important thing: is noticeable you put your heart while playing this great piece. Congratulations!!!

[painlesshorror]

Good work!

Wow, you are very talented, I didn't start playing this piece until I was 12. You sure don't look that old! I love the dynamic / articulation variations!

[TiffanyBabee]

thats fantastic!

[loulou656]

AMAZING!!!!! I love playing this song

[TwistedKracker]

Hey there. You look a bit young to be playing this piece so MAD PROPS on that! I did not learn this song until I was about 16, so you frikkin rock man!

[eightbll1014]

OWNED

[luv2act1408]

I am going to say something else. He does this song great. I know it says your supposed to go "presto", but this is a hard song and it is HARD to play fast. I am playing this right now, he is an amazing inspiration...i think he plays the speed perfectly fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[boredcow]

ditto!! i think it sounds so much better at this speed than presto and it's hard to play it super fast. i'm playing it too right now and i think his speed is great

[LoriKarter]

It is played very well. But I do think the middle should be plated much faster. I play it, and it isn't that hard.

[boredcow]

wonderful it sounds so fantastic even tho the tempo is too slow. it's supposed to be fast, "presto" but it still sound wonderful enough for my liking

[FlipBoi156]

very good!!

[luv2act1408]

great job! this is amazing! and i agree with halodude62, he plays it a t a fine speed. you dont have to play EVERYTHING fast, and its not like it shows that ur any better. anyway, great job!

[halodude62]

wow. this is really good. i am plying this now........he plays it grwat. i think the speed he plays it is fine, if you play it to fast, you loose the whole sound of the song....same with any song. anyway i thinkhe plays it great!

[harrytsai01]

does anybody know how old he is!He is really good!!!

[Vilchie]

omg!!!!!!!! how old is he??? he's good!

[047marie]

oh my..

im so impreeesseeed

[BaoBeiDancer]

i think it should be faster a litle rite?

[tong3pakitongkitong]

you're right..he's good though..:)

[fitman29]

Verrrrrrrrrrrrry good young man!

Martin Michael

[mcnviolnrox]

this is soooo good!!!!!!!!!!

[yunjumonster]

i like how he moves his body with the music :)

i cant do that with out messing up...

[stormtrooper16]

um is this really the right way to play it? i sound like this too... i'm learning it from the sheet music but i haven't heard it played by anyone else before and i want to know what it should sound like o.O

[tsaun44]

this is nice, i didnt play this till my 8th grade year

[wowaddict1024]

thats my brother!

[Amadishky]

Increíble!!!!! felicidades pequeño niño!!! no importa que digan de tu postura, eres chiquito y no alcanzas. Excelente sigue así!!

[aznhardcore]

wow! ur really good

[Maradonasson10]

are you kidding me? little man, you need to def work on your posture. and the keys need to be played more clearly instead of rushing through them. the piece was made so both the pianist and the audience can enjoy. play it fast, but with fleeing and better annunciation.

[Windwolf001]

If you're sooo good, give it a shot and upload the video...

[MickeysOnTV]

really good job! Im in the middle of learning it...but your definatly better :)

[payneagayne]

oh yeah.. well my dad can beat up your dad!

[cireremarc]

I can play that piece better than you dude, sorry. WATCH your posture
