It's getting there. The technical skill set is already present to execute these pieces well. However, the Abe needs more weight and power added to differentiate the melodic lines and sections. The Beck just needs more dynamic variation - it's not written in the part but there are definitely phrasing moments between the opening lick and the 7/8 contrasting phrase on the middle drums that need to be addressed for clarity of line - similar things in the running sixteenth note line.
Not my favourite song though, I still prefer Variations on Japanese Children's Songs better. Great playing though given her age, still too much to work on, he cant really get good vibrations and unskillful contrast.
I think the skills are there, but he lacks emotion, something he will gain as life passes.
It's Keiko Abe. She writes what she wants.

creshendos (can't spell today, sorry) should be more emphasized in spots, it gets loud/soft too quickly for my liking. AMAZING! How old is he?
