NO SHE ISNT!!

and most importantly, she plays really well.

[ivorycarress]

Yes! Perfect...your musical style is absolute! wonderful expression...you know how to bring out the melody intended by Faure and let the rest be accompaniment and orchestral sounding. You are the one I would instruct others to watch for great expression and accuracy! Your choice of opera on your own site also shows how you sing at the piano so-to-speak. I am a singer and pianist both. Congratulations on your hard work!

@afertyus1000

A curious and arrogant reply.

And: you are proud to hear ... a "mistake" in such a performance???

[afertyus1000]

[afertyus1000]

How can a doctor of medicine says she's ugly, no, no, she's beautiful she played this Faure so beautifully, it brought tears to my eyes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, this physician has no eyes !...

[jazzlap]

How can someone be thirteen and play so heavenly?

Beautiful performance from a beautiful girl.



[alynmearns]

The fact that this has ANY dislikes makes me lose hope for the human race. There is no higher level of musicianship than this performance, it's super-human, angelic.

[hymntonight]

Why does this have dislikes? It's an excellent performance in tone and expression, worthy of comparison with any adult.

IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, IT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.........AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL! MAKES ME WANT TO LEARN IT, BUT I COULD NEVER DO IT JUSTICE THE WAY SHE DOES.......INCREDIBLE PIANIST....13? WOW!
