Yes, it’s hard to perform in front of your school. If you mess up, you’ll never hear the end of it. I did it, and I’m glad I didn’t mess up. My classmates was surprised because I’m shy and I sung in front of them. 😊
Wow! A few wrong notes, but musicality at its best. Really one of the best renditions I've ever heard of this difficult masterpiece, and that's not even on a real piano. Really amazing.
Ha oh yes, I can hear my piano teacher preaching “Let’s set a tempo at which you can play the correct notes…faster is not better!” BUT…Miss Jones didn’t get that the girls were much more impressed with speed than accuracy. Ha this kid is gonna be awesome!
"None of them knows how hard this is." What the hell are you talking about? Judging from the reaction at the end, I'd say they definitely did understand how hard this is.
I know that this piece is extremely hard to play perfect and when infront of a crowd especially infront ur school your heart is racing 300bpm and for that, this was perfect. Congrats. I could literally feel you at the end 😂 don’t worry they think that’s how it should sound
I also thought the same so I look at his channel videos. You can see and hear him play this and other pieces on a very good piano. The difference is stunning. Well worth taking a little time to enjoy.
RIGHT!!! I hate to say this but that keyboard sounds crappy. I have heard this played by my father (on a real piano), who went to the best school in the world, Julliard in NYC. This kid is talented but like I said that keyboard sucks. Can anyone make out what brand it is because I have been wanting to get one and definitely don't want this brand.
@@sabrinamaria2707 It’s Roland. Recently I found a pretty decent Digital Piano, from a Brand I’d never heard of before. It’s called Dexibell Vivo, and has several (pricey) models. Mine is a “Vivo H1” model. It’s not a Steinway, or a Ritter Halle, but it’s decent enough, for my needs (I’m a Composer/Pianist, retired). It took me 11 years chasing decent digital pianos. Though I do miss my 116-yr-old, former acoustic Cunningham Concert Grand Upright, I can live with the Dexibell. Only problem is that (at least my model), there are only 2 speakers on the underside of the instrument. The newer (pricier) models, there are up to 8 speakers. I bought an AKG 240Studio pair of Headphones, and it does sound better. NOTE: I’m neither a sales person, nor am I associated with the company (well, as a customer, yes, but I don’t work for the company). The opinions are my own. A good evaluation, by a (Portuguese-speaking) Piano Professor, of Digital Pianos, is Prof. Felipe Scagliosi (spelling?), who (in his studio has an acoustic “Bechstein” baby grand), but on this video, he checks a variety of Digital piano brands (Yamah, Casio, Korg, etc., based solely on their piano sounds, NOT their bells and whistles. That’s how I found the Dexibel Piano, which I’d never heard of before. His body language, upon playing it, told me everything I needed to know about it. After quite a search online, and youtube, I found this brand is really hard to find (in the USA), and I finally found it at a Carmel, IN piano store. Best of luck 🎹4Ever😉
@@sabrinamaria2707it's a Roland FP30. One of the best budget Digital Pianos apparently. It's suposed to sound good and the only maindrawback is the action being difficult to do trills with.
congratulations! You manage to stay focused, while having a pedal that keeps going on the run. You also have an environment that does not keep the silence as is usual with a classical performance, but an audience that acclaims you like a rock star. Beethoven said it is better to miss a note than not to play this piece with feeling. You certainly fulfilled Beethoven's condition!
I liked it but just little advice one pianist another dont rush the broken arpagioes as much i know its presto agitato but dont rush it to where it hard tk hear you still wanna hear each note i recomend you look up murray perahia or wilhelm kempff or paul barton are all 3 good examples it was still very good though no hate especially for your age
I can really say that the quality of the sound of a grand piano is still the best than any electric generated piano. You're really quite close to expert but trust me even Pro piano players are practicing piano pieces for months before they perform...
I play piano and can play a lot of songs like interstellar (hans zimmer), nouve bianche, the river flows in you and many more but even I don’t understand how playing songs like this is possible 😭.
OMG I'm obsessed with this piece, I binge watch it being played by other people as well. This is a very admirable performance, the piano was not ideal mainly. I hope our musician can also do a recording of Chopin's Bacarolle which is my favorite binge piece, but remember not to rush it as it has to have the quality of a Venetian gondola moving to the ebbing and flowing of water and of course it gets a bit turbulent at times too.
I want to play Chopin scherzo no2 in next winters school concert, is that a stupid idea? I did Fantaisie imprumptu on stage in school last winter, I was underprepared because of exams though :/ Btw good Performance in this Video, clean playing!
I never knew about this piece when i was in school. My pieces were Paderewski Minuet, rusles of spring by Christian Sinding and Hungarian Rhapsody by fraz Liszt the easy version. Not no such thing just a different key. I only played to show off in front of the girls and for enjoyment. I could care less about winning. If i had to do over again i would have changed my senior high piece or asked the girl if she wanted to play the duet version of Malaguena by Ernesto Lecuona. I was selfish and thoughtless at that age. Im Glad God changed my heart. Here is the story at tryouts i played the piece and so did another girl. My class president who was in charge of selecting students for the talent show said i played it better but i question her observation i didnt want to change my piece so the girl was left out. She made up an excuse that the piano wasn't right for the piece i know now that was so i wouldnt feel guilty but later in life i felt bad. Like i said earlier if i had to do over i would have... Good performance. 73
I played this as part of a senior high school recital. I know how crazy it is. It's a fave. It is one that is too easy to get going too fast (make yourself slow down!) He did a great job, I can forgive the minor glitches. I wish he could have played it on a better piano, for example a baby grand, Still kudos for doing this!
Just being able to play it, and on A KEYBOARD is a big accomplishment. But there were alot of differences in tempo, and chord misses, (probably from nerves, i get it). I would recommend PRACTICING REALLY SLOW, if you don't already do. and maybe play a bit slower tempo so you can keep it same tempo throughout. I've learned that lesson the hard way. I played a sonata by Hayden, and I played it too fast. my hands hurted so i couldn't keep same tempo throughout the piece making it sound awkward. better to play at same tempo throughout, than really fast with hiccups in tempo. Last thing then ill shut up, in the arpeggios part the left hand was louder than right hand. Just constructive criticism. Still a huge Milestone for any pianist. congrats😃
I hope you are every bit as proud of yourself as a star athlete might be. Your talent is certainly more impressive to me than any ball player's. I say BRAVO, and best of luck in your future concert career!
i have a feeling the crowd wasn't as quiet and focused during other performances as it was on yours (considering a school show from personal experience)
Well played young man, thank you for sharing. I took a look at your channel to see and hear you playing this and other pieces on a quality piano. The difference is stunning. Aside from demonstrating your musical ability, you demonstrate the vast difference between an electric keyboard or electric piano and, a Real Piano. It's No-contest, the True Piano is vastly superior in every way.
for my talent show i played rachmaninoff second piano concerto 1st movement that was so stressful but bro Congratulations for playing this hard piece just subscribed
That was amazing. So glad you won. Certainly well deserved. You are very talented and skilled. How long did it take you to learn that piece? Please keep posting ur stuff. I’m a new subscriber and I need to see more! 😉 God bless you 🙏🏻👍😀
