Hahaha you may be the biggest tool on the internet. 'Of course its a sonatina by clementi...' so I'm guessing you play the piano and learned this song a few years back. You probably know a lot of songs by name and composer, but you probably never did shit and probably suck more than you think at the piano, so you have to kill the pride in a parent or a six year old by attacking the video. Suck it, you suck more than anyone else.

My niece is a 6 year old. Let me try to get her to sit still long enough to even LISTEN to this let alone play it.

everyone is a prodigy at something.....I'm a prodigy at spending my life on youtube

And YES if she was learning the notes by ear it would be an exact replication because that would be what she is HEARING. She is very very good. Her musicianship, rhythm, dynamics, and how the piece flows are all excellent for her age (and above her age). Most children would not be able to play this piece after 2 or 3 years of lessons, which is the most they could have by 6. It takes the average 4 year old a year (or more) just to finish book one.

I am fully aware that she did not compose this. I never implied that she did. I simply stated that it would be impossible to know if she had composed anything else. Besides, composing versus not is not the litmus test of child prodigies. And yes, she most likely learned most of this by ear. Most children are not very good sight-readers. They are just learning to read words. Look at the majority of great musicians on ANY instrument. They are learning by ear.

@nika71rose She didn't compose this. If she were composing, it would be EASY to find out; it would be here. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is intermediate. Show me a 6 year old playing the third movement, and they would be a prodigy.

I DOUBT this is by ear. There would be variation. This is the cookie-cutter style that anyone with a couple year's experience can do.

I'm NOT saying that she isn't skilled, just not a prodigy. Any child that loves the piano, and starts around 4 or 5 can do this by 6.

[nika71rose]

@paganlight546 Has anyone confirmed that she is not composing? She could be... Also remember that she most likely learned all this by ear.

@allthingskenteroo This is clearly not a normal 6 year old. My mom has taught piano for close to 30 years now. This is a spectacular child. Look at the finger work and the elegance in the rhythm. Look at the concentration. You can see that she loves it. No one can force a child this age to produce this. At a child level they have to love it to be this far at her age. As she grows she will start to compose and hear more in her head. For now, let her be 6.

Man, her 16's are in the correct beat. (even I can't do that...) Also, her dynamics are PERFECT!!!!

[PickaxePig]

How is that even fucking possible? Wow....
