  • Other than the fact that pedal was used way too liberally, its good.

    I should learn this piece...

  • He's onto other pieces. Now performing with an orchestra and studying performance. He was about 98% self-taught at the time of this performance, and had only been playing piano for about 5 years, so all things considered, not a bad performance of this piece.

  • From his mom, no offense taken, since he had only been playing 5 years when he performed this piece. I'm sure there are a lot of people who perform it better. I'd just like to hear what others can do with this piece after only 5 years of hard work and dedication, and btw 98% self-taught.

  • OK you have most of the notes now you need to back off and play it as music. You're close, the technicque is OK slow down and go for BACH like no pedal. You can do it the technique is there, go for it.

  • You played it really good! Sorry to say, Wilhelm Kempff is still way better than you. No offense.

  • acoustics of the church...

    aren't doing that good to this song, but well played!

  • Appassionata !!! The best Piano Work Ever.If you want to hear the strongest performance , Listen to John Ogdon , but the performance here is great too , and enjoy this unique masterpiece of art from Beethonen .The Titan of Music .

  • I wish you would re-do this in a proper studio with proper mikes and have the camera on the keyboard. I think you play pretty well but it's hard to tell with the rotten acoustics.

  • Simpsons did it.

  • One of the best performances I´ve found here. Great technique and a great sense of musicality. Congratulations and keep practising!
