  • hes playing was not bad as a 15 years old kid. at least i cant play as his skill untill 16 years old, but i have to say that......orchestra is awful! omg... wft is that freaking orchestra? so bad!

  • veryyyyyy good :) congrats

  • bis auf ein paar patzer und lahmheiten sehr gut - 1 minus :)

  • phenomenal for a 15-year-old! Very nice tone and excellent technique. The performance could be made more impressive by using dynamics etc., maybe a studio recording would be better.

  • Have to admit, for a 15 yr old, he's got incredible technique.. Not alot of dynamics, but hey, he's 15!!! The tempo kept getting faster and faster through the whole piece. All I kept thinking was, the sextuplet section is going to be out of control!! But he got all the notes in. I think when he gets older, he'll acquire a litle more maturity, finese and musicality. But right now, for such a young player, he's pretty phenomenal

  • That was amazing

  • this sounds great!! such nice articulation! i love your sound! this is very very very nice!!

  • @Elessar1357 maybe his style is to play perfectly?? lol
