This piece is one of the most challenging sonata beethoven wrote, how is it not hard?It is challenging in for anyone, not just technical but also musically, and she did a very goood job.

Man I wish I was this young when I learned to play this. Just think of what she'll be able to play in her 20s if she keeps up with it.

@Seleuce I know exactly what you are describing. However, torso movement is a wonderful tool in a complete piano technique. What you are describing is a disconnect from the conception to the execution. This is a problem more with the mind than the body, one must learn to recognize how their movement affects the music. Only then can they sculpt the phrases and execute their interpretation.

@davidburnett2 i think it's a classroom. i think that's a chalkboard in the back. unless you're kidding?

What is her name? 

[Seleuce]

@tsazar While what you say is true for those who move unconciously while playing, it is not true for those doing it purposely to achieve a certain show effect. Some are such "ballet dancers" while playing instruments that all their expressiveness goes into there torso movements and the music they play sounds lifeless and automated. I love Asian cultures, my partner is Japanese. But I do see this happening much more in East-Asian musicians than in any other.

How did she get that big piano in the bathroom? Who is she and what is she doing now.

How old is she? 11? 14? She is amazing.

wonderful. gives you a rush of adrenaline. the techinque and speed are both amazing. it may not be my place, but just a piece of advice - playing the allegro ma non troppo gives the presto coda more excitement, but it's up for individual interpretation.

[Gulfstream005]

I first watched this in utter disbelief - it's about the most astonishing performance of this dramatic work I've ever heard, and certainly the most competent and effective. Superlative sense of form, phrasing and progression with perfect expression at an impatient tempo. If only we could have the coda too - preferably soon!
