David Bérubé at 12 years old

At 12 y/o. Been one year that I began to play piano. I visit the stage, and I play 2 piece of Chopin ''Revolutionary Etude N Fantasie Impromptu'', learned by ear. It was my first contact with a large audience.

people that could usually this has a disability. THey showed it on a documentary once. Can't remember the name of the disease, but they can't do normal things that we do, like, other part of their brains don't work, thats why they can concentrate on the musical part. but.. they still shake and wobble and stuff..

Hi jenni,

I'm lucky I dont have this disease....or maybe I don't know if I have it ???? (like Homer say)d'oh! :(

Yep I reckon he did learn it by ear there were heaps of different notes and different timings as opposed to what's actually written on the music. But pretty clever 12 year old all the same!

This is absolutely incredible, I question if Chopin himself even had as much talent as David...

I have been trying to Fantasie impromptu since i was 10..at the age of 13 i did and i was 3rd grade of music school.I believed i was a genius.But you are brilliant.I cant believe u did it in 1 year so i kinda hate you cause of that.But still this is amazing

I don't think you should be calling it a disease! A disease can be caught, and I doubt anyone is going to be catching this!
