Anton Nel - Beethoven Sonata No.21 in C Major, Op.53 ("Waldstein")

In November 2011 Anton Nel led a group to the Steinway factory in New York to select a new grand piano for the Texas Performing Arts Concert Hall at The University of Texas in Austin.
After "auditioning" seven brand new Steinway Model D's, Anton fell in love with a beautiful lady that will henceforth be known as the "Cornelia" Steinway.
In his exuberance over the new piano, he launched into the first movement of the Beethoven "Waldstein" Sonata - a pretty impressive performance considering he had not practiced this piece for MONTHS!
This video was recorded with an iPhone 4.

I notice that the audio towards the end of this clip slowly drifts out of synch with the video. The original was perfect; so something must have gone awry during the upload. Sorry.
