      While Joyce is right about people having places to go, you're also right that people have no interest in public playing.

      You do have a very few weak spots that you need to work on. It's best not to play the entire song. But just focus on where they are and practice those until you can do it properly. I've played that song for 19 years. Yet I've played the piano for 22. So just slow down while you play the song. After you have worked on that. Then you'll play it perfectly.

I have been to that airport for connecting flights several times and I always stop if I have a couple minutes or more to listen and throw a 5$ bill into the collection pot. These guys not only perform well at such a young age, they also do this in a public place where so FEW people can appreciate or do ever appreciate what they are doing. This guy is amazing at 13...imagine him at 18-20-30... I hope he's rich and famous by then, getting a good start in such a "hostile" rushed environment as an airport.

    You'd honestly think that people were programmed to walk on by if anything entertaining that smacks of the good old days encroaches into the public square. As someone who travels every now and then, this performance of The Entertainer would have given weary old me a huge lift, even a spring in my step. Who needs coffee? Any top live performance of this tune would be an opportunity to stop and savour it, if one could. But here! I think most people wander around with their accursed headphones on listening to rap.
    Bring back the good old tunes. Please!
    And very well done, young man. Keep playing that piece. It's a sliver of civilisation.

    OMG! I'm 14 now and I played that one or two years ago for a recital, so I must have been 13! what a coincidence. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be faster though unless I played it completely wrong at my recital.
    And I can feel you with those mistakes on the left hand. THE JUMPS, It's one of the first pieces that really challenged me, even Alla Turca wasn't this bad. But get it faster and it'll be great.
    You'll probably improve a lot after this, I'm learning Fantasie Impromptu at the moment, and I'm just chilling on yt instead of practicing, I wish you the best.

      I have listened to you playing this for the second time now., and apart from anything else, you have a very good touch on the piano, you don't thump at the keyboard or bash at the notes which in Ragtime is EXTREMELY important or it'd end up sounding like honky tonk music which ISN'T what ragtime should sound like. But as I said before, keep playing, hope you're got a good teacher/ coach. You can and will go far, with the right encouragement.
