Beethoven Sonata #6 in F Major M3 by George Li (13 yr)

George performed this in his solo recital for the 18th Annual Music Festival Walnut Hill on August 12, 2009. The Festival is organized by Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts.

George has had a great success in his recital concert. The Keiter Center was filled with warm hearted music lovers - teachers and friends, and they gave George a great encouragement.

We are extremely grateful to George's Piano Teacher Ms. Byun, George's music mentor Maestro Churchill, George's guardian angel Ms. Cathy Chen, Piano Department Chair Ms. Roth, Chamber Music coach Ms. Blustein, Music Theory Chair Mr. Larry Bell, Conductor Maestro Zander, Piano Seminar Teacher Mr. Rivera, and all the great teachers in the Prep School of New England Conservatory.

We would also like to thank Mrs. Dorothy Shi and Mr. Chengzong Yin, who have built a strong solid piano foundation for George.

We would like to express our deepest appreciation to George's Mother-Music-School -- The Prep School of NEC, where he acquires all his music knowledge and where he received careful nurture toward a young piano artist.

We thank all of those who attended the concert - your appearance has been the great honor of the Li family!

oops "His mother died when he was young .." I should proof read my comments properly!

I could listen to this again and again, George. Many pianists at conservatoria essay this sonata but very few really play this movement as it should go. You do. and you do not quietly ignore the difficult bits such as the cross accents, piano subitos etc. I like the way you bring out the interesting bits too such as theme re-entries etc.

It is incredible to think that Beethoven could put so much good humour, laughter and joking into his first period sonatas. His mother died when he was and his father took up heavy drinking. So that his father didn't piss all his wages up against a wall one-half was garnisheed to Ludvig van so that the needs of his siblings could be provided for.

Early Beethoven is wonderful. You swallowed this whole, George. Beautifully nuanced and your piano subitos ACTUALLY happened. This movement is VERY difficult to play. And it is marked "Presto". You thoroughly enjoyed every note of this as did I!  And you played the second repeat which proved that your execution was no accident - as if it could possibly have been an accident!
