  • This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard ;P

  • What a magnificent speech! This is obviously an intelligent and caring man with much more to teach than music. Best to Mr. Nakamatsu.

  • What a great personality, and outstanding performer! I just accompanied him in Beethoven's 4th piano concerto with MSO.

  • What a great man.... and performer. I just saw him play tonight at EMF!

  • love this speech :DDD anyways...who are those that were laughing soooo freaking loud down there?  its kinda annoying... -.-

  • Nakamatsu could be an excellent example for those who loves music but has lots of difficulties in mastering it. He can view his lose as a power to reach success, only because he loves music. He may face it with his humorous personality. Yeah, he has solved many obstacles many people can't solve. That is his strength mentality. Bravo for you, Jon !

  • If at first you don't succeed, lose, lose again.

  • He came to our school today! :D

  • A very humble speech! I am impressed! This speech is the best speech I've ever heard!!!!! I am very impressed and inspired that he still loved music, even at times of failure, when he got his screenings rejected or lost competitions! But even so, his humbleness and love to music had gained him a big reward he deserved at the Van Cliburn. He's a true musician! Thank you very much for posting this video! I will never forget this video, because it's packed with lessons to teach!

  • @SwePianoholic

    After hearing and working for him last night, I have determined, he is everything right about attitudes toward music. Let's hope the critics and reviewers do not kill our industry that offers so much to so many for the right reasons

  • That was brilliant.

  • This is brilliant!
