This is Calvin Jones's song White Water Chopped Sticks. My sister performed it for the Miss Nephi pageant and won. She says it's the most fun she's ever had with a piano solo and she absolutely loves it.
I LOVE watching this!!!! What most people don't know is Lauren ony had just over a year of formal training by the time she performed this! She is such a hard worker! I also LOVE the phrasing she put into the song :). She is beautiful and so talented! Go Lauren!
Thank you for your compliments; however I must say I'm offended at your degradation of Calvin Jones' piece. I can honestly say it was the most entertaining song I've ever played, and it is perfectly adequate for its purpose- entertainment. I guess we all have our opinions :)
Actually I didn't mean to sound so harsh . I hate the piece But Lauren is a charmer and manages a terrifically energetic performance .... if anyone could rescue the Calvin Jone's catastrophe, it is this lovely young woman.
Well at least Lauren plays it a whole lot better than Calvin Jones. She can squeeze some humor out of this horrendously awful piece of music. If you want to give the audience a shock ... try the Mozart "A Vous dirai-je Maman ..." based on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" .... it's a show stopper. This simple childish theme .... sweeps into some of the best piano writing ever.
I love how in the beginning she was playing Chopsticks and looked at the audience like she was done! :D
