Who gave that kid a fedora?
That was entertaining! What the hell.
This is why cocaine is illegal.
They should be ashamed, he's just boy.
That kid is an everything prodigy!
He' good. However... it is impressive that he's 7, but Solfeggietto is only a difficult sounding piece; its usually learned within the first few years of lessons of anyone with the talent to go to college in piano performance. He does remind me some of the kid in "Vitus," a french film about a piano prodigy, minus the fedora, hair, and energy.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone so comfortable with themselves, let alone someone so young.
kids on crack coupled with 10+ tablets of adderall and a few cans of red bull.
The kid is really good, and I guess learning piano myself has made me over critical, but I really wish he would just slow the fuck down and play the piece more cleanly. It kind of makes me laugh to see all those ladies in shock in the audience. You can find "child prodigies" his age that play much more proficiently. If an adult was playing this piece in public, I would consider it a disaster.
I'm sure the kid has bright future in front of him, I just don't think he is as prodigious as some people think, and the more interesting thing about him is his outgoing personality.
