Beethoven Sonata No. 8, Pathetique 1st mvt (NEW RECORDING)

This piece, at least at the time, was far too deep for him.

Why people continue to say this makes me laugh.

Interpretation comes with experience. At least it did with me, I can see this kid playing this very piece not many years from now with amazing talent COMBINED with deep interpretation.
When I was a kid I played with (a bit of) ability.
Now I like to think I play with understanding.

It's amazing that a twelve year old is able to play this!!!!

Terrible interpretation.. Sorry. That boy is FAR from feeling any sort of emotion expressed by this piece. I did like the middle part though but overall it's simply too fast when it shouldn't and too slow when it should.

very good!!!

I don't know about you specifically, but I find it odd that the same people that think "orientals" play too mechanically and expressionless also hate Lang Lang (who is the opposite of those traits). Hmm, I wonder if it could actually be that they irrationally come to these conclusions based on something else? (hint: prejudice/racism)

Oh keep playing. Very nice. Thank you.
