can someone tell me the name of the piece he plays by bach? because I don't understand what he says...

[Tompcho]

@yruz21 : Menuet by Bach ..

And for the boy's little tune...if the key of it is C...you can't just end it in a G major chord..it's incomplete! If you're gonna write something, you need to stick to the format! I know it's "his music". Well, Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Bach, they all stuck to a format! There was no structure in his piece..just kinda disorganized..

[Tompcho]

All in all, you might be right, Mario .. But please read Lateral thinking by Edward de Bono ..

Very mature. At least the owner of this video gives a thoughtful response and refrains from using insults that are completely useless because they aren't any counter-argument, just something people use when they can't argue.

He's amazing!

@Caocao8888 Exactly. THAT'S what he managed to learn in three years? People are taught that prodigies are people under 8 years old that play music that's "hard for that age, typically." But if it took him three years to learn simplified versions of Rondo alla turca and The Entertainer, then he's not a prodigy, he just had an early head start at the age of 3. People are only saying he is because he's 6, but the fact is, an 11 year old that does this in less than six months...THAT'S a prodigy.

@swimrocker3 So you're saying Sviatoslav Richter and Arthur Rubinstein are just "good" musicians, lacking the "greatness" of rule-breaking?

[swimrocker3]

@mario54671 Good musicians know the rules, great musicians break the rules.

[TheGameGuildreviews]

he needs to get a accordian

[Caocao8888]

The boy played a VERY simplified, shortened, and highly edited version of "The Entertainer." Is a genius? Of course not. I've heard 6-year-olds play much, much better than he does.

I can't belive he knows JB.

@mario54671 thats why your always gonna be a sheep

[cutis1000]

@Platyzoan Um, like his father!

[rhysinater]

@mario54671 dude... he's 6

I can't believe all the negative comments, are those of you that insecure, jealous, or you just have to belittle someone to make yourself feel better. This child has a God-given talent and should be admired for what he has accomplished and what the future has in store for him and the world. He is donating monies to many charities, is an inspiration to other children (and adults), and has an outlook on life and the world that outdistances most of us.
