  • 4 years after this video went viral ( • The guy who surprises ... ) we returned to Geneva airport and I persuaded Christian to play at that same piano. This time there was no waiter and no free drink!
    He's now a much more confident 19 year old and loving studying music composition for film and TV and Leeds conservatoire.

    Believe it or not, i do regularly a re-search for the "original" moonlight sonata 3 at the airport... of your son. Despite the audio quality it is one of the best interpretations of it on youtube. Thank you so much, Christian!

    Hear that delayed audience response at the end? That's because they were totally engrossed. They were carried away. They had possibly forgotten it was a teenage boy playing. ❤

    You must be so proud Peter, your son (in the original & this video) displays so much skill and clearly brings joy to those around him. I truly hope he gets to capitalise on that skill moving forward, be it on his own or for some large orchestra.

      Speaking from someone who has a severe case of ADHD. Just because we're looking at our phones or doing anything else, doesn't mean we aren't paying attention. It's near impossible for us to focus on one thing, especially in a crowded environment like this? I'd never be able to.
      But we do appreciate what we hear, and we are listening.

    You must be very proud of your son. Only 19 years old. A fantastic impromptu performance. Shame the miserable gits behind him who you politely asked if they wouldn't mind if your son played the piano didn't seem to appreciate his performance. Some people are just ignorant.
    Please post more videos like this. He is a delight to listen to.
    Divorak's Piano Concerto please? If your son can play it which I am sure he can.
