I hope you are kidding. If you aint, you better go check some history. Greig was Norwegian and there was no way he could have composed that concerto on a banjo at that time......so NO the concerto was not composed on a banjo...

@ extremelymodest:

It's offensive that I think many Asians are musically talented?

Sorry you're hypersensitive.

This concerto has the most amazing introduction of all. So dramatic!!! 00:33

@birdiaction Oh, I just read your last comment (about cultural factors). Then, I know you're not stupid :-) even though I still don't see the point about all this ASIAN LVL stuff ;)

@birdiaction Bitch please, a bunch of asians on youtube don't represent billions of people... ^^ it's not offensive, it just doesn't make sense.

Don't worry about the Chinese. When Western Civilization was still in "cave man" mode, the Chinese were performing extremely complex pieces on highly sophisticated instruments. I had the honor of seeing a group of four non-westernized Chinese musicians perform at a Boston Early Music Festival. They were paired with a French quartet (with sheet music?). Guess who won.....? If these Chinese could play quartertones, etc., surely they can tackle a mere keyboard.

@lnicoll100 Even if it is due to cultural factors and not genetics--and I never believed it was due to genetics--it is still because they are raised in Asian societies. And I'm not saying this person didn't work hard to get where he is! I'm just saying that many Asians I've encountered are really good at music. God, I wish people would stop taking me so seriously.

@birdiaction i gotta disagree. it's untrue that due to race or racial background, any person has an innate musical talent, or indeed other talent, nonexistent in other races. it may be true that there are more asian pianists/musicians, and if there is any causative factor behind this statistic, it is probably more of a cultural/socio-economic factor, than anything to do with genetics. i personally think no-one is really 'musically talented'- they just work hard to get where they are.
