Good grief - Yes! I gave up trying - it was never going to happen.
This is the cousin my dad compares me to.
Jokes aside you deserve every praise. I admire you
Oh my god! I love your videos!

This is the cousin your dad compares you to... And you're a percussionist.
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Well of course, his son is a donut. 😉
I can never understand how someone has so much control of their hands like that. It’s so interesting
Being forced to play piano when you are a kid? Learning and mastering skills from childhood tends to have the highest rate of success
It's muscle memory. She's as much a master as a chef who cuts efficiently. If you played an instrument, you'd completely understand.
Practice
@Dolly Leema there is no such thing as god given talent. Yes some people are born with natural ability or tendency to learn, but those same people could squander their abilities if they chose the wrong path.
Discipline and practice is key to mastering any thing.
@Dolly Leema '-'
I have never been on the musical side of art but anyone can appreciate how wonderfully and passionately this girl plays this masterpiece.
Yea she is awesome !
me too! ive always been envious of those who make and play music. i'm more on the writing/drawing side of art, but music is worth a million paintings.
@@LL-tr5etGrab an instrument then! And sing! Music is for everyone
I love that I can still feel she is a kid. A lot of these prodigious kid musicians feel like robots.

Hooray for the success of spirit
Because that's how they're taught to act, behave and perform. Not really their fault.

Welll..yeah she is and yeah you would.
@@chopholtz4950 ehh not really world class performers in this kind of show usually performs extremely seriously but shes just having so much fun
@@chopholtz4950 I think the implication is that it takes a significant amount of effort, and that she makes it look effortless in comparison to many pianists.
Exactly! My maternal instinct kicked in and I didn't even realize how amazing it sounded at first because of how adorable she looked. I hope she's having fun doing this, it definitely looks like it.
@@minyu0001 well these are all assumptions i guess, cus i have performed and had a serious business pose while playing but i was extremely joyful hitting the keys and then being able to bow and be applauded, really good feeling even if the face is straight.
She plays the piano better than some people walk. It’s just second-nature to her and absolutely astounding!
I would say her primary nature. Indeed, astonishing!
It's practice. Has nothing to do with nature
What’s this analogy, walking is not a talent, playing piano is
🤣 thank you for that
@@marciamakesmusic However, some people are born with natural talent. They’re called prodigies.
BRuh. She doesn’t even have the sheet music in front of her. That level of practice and memorization is INSANE. Very talented
As a pianist myself I actually find it harder to concentrate when I have sheet music in front of me, I learn by ear and just memorize it and I find it much easier than sheet music
@@itsjustavibe6823 Shredder here, same, but I learn it with sheet music once Ive clocked it I can remember it and to have to read it takes you out of the concentration.
you HAVE to memorize so you can focus on playing. that's piano 101. you'll never see anyone bringing their sheet music into a performance or an exam room.
Agreed!
When you learn a song that difficult you don't have time to look at the sheet music and you have already memorized it. I play piano and play some pretty hard music (not near her level) and I never use sheet music
This video just slaps you in the face if you’re a pianist
Nah, I'm not a pianist, but more than that.
I couldn't agree more.
I thought of quitting my studies to persue becoming a pianist. Guess studying is the way to go
yeah it did, self esteem destroyed

She is clearly enjoying herself. Such a joy to watch!
How did she not even catch the edges of keys doing those really wide chords?! That’s phenomenal. I haven’t played piano in a while but damn do I remember how hard it was to press the right keys accurately and loudly enough with all fingers without hitting the border between keys for example. Incredible. So precise. And the tempo doesn’t falter. Wtf.
So true! I noticed that she played some of the octaves with the 4th finger. She has huge hands for a ten year old
@@mathildewesendonck7225 wowww I did not even see that before!!! So cool!
@@mathildewesendonck7225 yes she does have huge hands - there is a clip somewhere where she shows them
Unfortunately it sounds like she did. The E octave in the beginning just sounds wrong but it's well redeemed in the following phrase
I am a performing classical organist. One of the reasons I switched from piano is that many of the manual reaches necessary to play the really big chords in a lot of major piano compositions were just too great for my relatively small hands.
Some of the standard organ repertoire has fairly large chords, but for some reason I find them somewhat more manageable. Organs do tend to have smaller keys than pianos as well, and (usually) a lighter action.
What impresses me is not the "speed" but the excellent timing and dynamics, she really feels this piece. Just practice will never bring you there, this comes from the heart.
Well practice did bring her there. But you could tell she likes the piece enough to play it well.
Please don't promote the idea that practice could never achieve this. She's incredible, thanks to the many hours of hard work she has dedicated to the instrument she loves.
@@StuntDevil4218 That is not what I meant and also exactly what I meant. To play like this you need technical abilities and control that certainly take many hours of practice to achieve. The feeling and expression she puts in is not mere practice though. The difference between playing a piece and making it your own.
@@ezion67 exaaaactly!
@@bocaj7766 he said "just" practice, meaning there's something more to it, not that you shouldnt practice. Learn to read. And he's right, this talent is not just practice, is also God.given

Thank a good teacher. People should know that children that are not learning very well with someone doesn't always necessarily mean that the child is incapable of learning it's just that that teacher and that child may not be a good connection or that teacher is not a good teacher doesn't have the skills or the psychology to go into the mind of the child and see what they're learning method is so that they can apply it and teach them well.
I had to watch this twice. It sent shivers down my spine. It’s a mix of joyfulness, confidence and precision… wow
i agree, but I get shivers for a different reason. think of a childhood invested in hard work like this. reminds me of the trained monkeys in india...the classical industry should stop their obsession with wunderkids.it's cruel....

As a piano teacher, this gives me joy. Alexandra in this clip is the same age as many of my pupils at the conservatory. To see such virtuosity and musicality in a girl so young is extraordinary. Btw, she has grown into a fantastic adult pianist.
Even the crescendos and decresendos are on point super smooth with that speed. As a 11 year pianist myself I can safely say this girl spends his entire day practising
She isn't just playing this piece. She IS this piece. Beautiful to witness. Thanks for sharing.

if you're not a musician than this will sound weird asf, but the unmatched fluidity in her fingers and body is fricken awesome. like, seriously, 0 tension, just so natural matching this phrase perfectly.
It doesn't sound in the least bit weird.
What does sound weird is your idea that you need to be a musician to appreciate it. Music-lover will do just fine.
You're right though. It probably helps that she's young enough to not have learned bad habits that even older, incredibly skilled musicians have.
@@innawoodsman Agreed - and that she's had a good teacher.
Gratifying anecdote from a couple of decades ago. My son went from lower to middle school, and stayed with his lower school violin teacher. The new school tried everything to get him to have lessons in school, but we insisted on sticking with the old one.
One evening, my son was playing in a concert in the school orchestra, and the audience included a music-loving friend, and a respected upper strings teacher. The teacher said that my son was the only upper strings player who wasn't destined to develop repetitive strain injury.
Yep, and all she had to do was sacrifice her entire childhood along with any chance of having a normal life ever..
@@SineEyed I don't think she could be as good as she is if she didn't want to do it, and wasn't passionate about it. Ask her if she feels it was a sacrifice; and maybe ask her again in ten or twenty years time. Ask her if she doesn't find time to do normal child things, and she ever in a million years thought of doing anything else with her life.
This is what you get when you combine elite talent and work ethic with letting a kid be a kid: a performance that's not only incredibly impressive, but one where the kid is clearly having fun, as she damn well should be.
Yeah 8 hours training a day with hardly playtime is kid being a kid
@@sallylemon5835 I mean if she likes it, which you can clearly see she does, that pretty much means 8 hours of playtime everyday
This is not a talent, this is a whole lifetime of hard work.
@@MrPEWDER To be as good as her at that age, you have to train before you are old enough to know whoever you enjoy it or not. I don't doubt there is some inherent talent, but the main reason she can play so well is because her parents decided they wanted a piano prodigy and had enough musical knowhow, money, connections and lack of qualms to make it happen. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but most child prodigies do not grow up to be particularly balanced or well adjusted people.
Somebody in another comment mentioned that this level of technical performance reminded her of gymnastics. While I don't for a second assume that all situations of child prodigies and strict, results focused parents areas extreme as this- I thought I made add some completely anecdotal evidence to explain my attitude towards this mentality.
My sister knew a girl very well at secondary school who competed internationally for Gymnastics for her country before moving to the UK. I don't want to go in to specific details, not the least because I don't have the space to do it justice, but the gist is they the parents moved her from an (Outstanding, country wide famous) state school to a boarding school/selective grammar at 15 when she suggested she might want to quit. She and my sister lost touch for 2 years, but then met again when the girl was about to be released from a mental health inpatient unit and needed to stay at another friends house because she wanted nothing to do with her parents. I was always on the periphery of this, But my sister was completely in the thick of it and along with the other friend and to essentially care for her while she was in the throes of a mental breakdown.
She is thankfully far better now and has even with friends encouragement made contact with her parents once more. But she was almost lost several times, and I myself at one point and to call an ambulance for her.
According to my sister the parents believe they did nothing wrong and resent her friends for "turning her against them". they have actually written letters to a national newspaper (UK residents have a guess which one) complaining about the effect of "progressive teachers in the school system"- specifically the gymnastics coach who told her honestly about the effects it could have on her body later in life.
I don't place the blame for this solely on the parents- our school, the grammar school, mental health professionals from the first time she was sectioned and a particularly narcissistic boyfriend could have done more. However, at the end of the day, especially living such a sheltered and controlled early life as her, it's pretty rich for the parents to attempt to shift the blame on to these things completely and act like they are the victims because she no longer trusts and obeys them.
@@sallylemon5835 that IS her playtime. Just because you were pursuing stupid shit doesn't mean every kid isn't smart.
I’m a pianist and I thought it was inspirational! We might not all play at that level but we can enjoy ourselves as much as she is enjoying herself.
Her fingers are moving so fast, they're just a blur. Outstanding performance.
Restricting her movement would have restricted her musicality, I’m grateful for everyone who helped her blossom 💕
this is the talent that is embraced and confidently shown when children are not told to restrict themselves fr. don't control, just let be.
@Dev Guy I doubt you know anything more about her than we do. Watching a kid be good at something that you sucked at when you where that age allways gives the impression that the kid was forced to do it. In the mind of the observer it cannot possibly be that a kid actually likes to play piano, therefor she must be forced by evil parents.
I know nothing about this girl and I am *NOT* insinuating that she is autistic, I'm jsut making an example here: I do know a lot of kids with verying degreeds of autism and most of them have one or two things they like above anything else, and they can excell at them way beyond what adults can do. Yes you can try to get them to do something that "normal" kids would do, but they genuinly don't like that, or at least not for more than an hour or so. Some kids play in the sand, other kids play piano. Deal with it.
You mean everyone who forced her to practise 25 hours every day? Children dont just naturally learn instruments like that, even if they are talented.
I suspect the blossoming took a lot of borderline abuse, if only because this skill was 100% at the cost of social isolation.
Social isolation forever!😅🥵😅
she is super talented, expressive and obviously enjoying herself. what a joy to watch & listen to

That is an incredible sight, a child leading an orchestra. I think this is the first time I realized how a high quality piano sounds. It takes incredible talent to really prove it. 👍
Correction; no child is leading any orchestra. Mendelssohn is the one Who is leading!!! the child, the conductor, and all the musicians would have no business here if Mendelssohn didn't create this masterpiece!!! To praise the child and the musicians are like to praise the print for creating a nice and beautiful book instead of the author.

She is the definition of a prodigy. She is not forced, she is free. This is her freedom. Absolutely incredible to see.
ETA: Wow. I did not expect so many likes/comments on this. I can see by glancing many of which misconstrued my post so I will clarify since seems many people these days are looking for a reason to be mad or to argue:
this girl looks like a fish in water. Like the way Michael Phelps swims, or Usain Bolt runs. She plays the keys like she was meant to. Like she was born to. I never said she didn’t work hard at it or practice. I don’t know anything about her. I simply stated what I saw. She looks free in her playing. Not forced like some pianists I see who look to be struggling. (Like the way I’m sure I would look trying to play something a fraction as difficult 😅😂) She looks incredible. Like a bird in the sky, flying freely. If I could make anything look so good… 😍
If you took any other meaning by what I said, maybe read more literature? Idk. Sorry if you are offended by your own misinterpretation. 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah when I came out the womb I decided I would start playing Beethoven symphonies because I clearly was not forced to think that right?
@@callingoutthebs idk. All I can say is when I was two all I wanted was the play the piano. I still don’t even know how I knew what a piano was. I think I must have seen Ray Charles as a little girl and thought he was amazing. So my single mother did what she could to find someone would was willing to teach piano to a two year old. Unfortunately, she moved away not long after my lessons began. I remained obsessed with piano my entire life up until I realized it was too late for me to foster that type of playing that I could have learned had I the opportunity to stick with it the way I dreamed from the beginning. When I look at this young girl, I don’t see that she has been beaten or forced. She doesn’t look stressed or troubled. She looks free. She looks to be enjoying herself fully on a level that I only hoped to even achieve. At one point she even looks to be singing, and bouncing with joy. I maybe wrong, and if I am I hope her torture ends soon. But I just don’t see it. She is a prodigy. And simply marvelous. I truly hope she is loving every minute of what she gives back to the world.

And yet, when that flower blooms in a way such as this, we take away from that beauty and their work by saying that it must be caused from some outside influence that’s forced them into this

This is genuinely astounding for anyone to play so accurately, let alone someone who hasn't had decades of near-constant practice. The brains and capacity for skill of children never ceases to amaze. What a prodigious pianist.
ok but think of it like this - 1 years practice is probably 5+ years for an adult in terms of brain function and quick learning. So a couple of years of dedicated practice for a child is huge. Tiger Woods was on television golfing at the age of TWO..
I just hope she sometimes gets to run around outside and swim in a lake and stuff
That usually means she practices all the time, which isn’t usually a good sign unless shes doing it of her initiative
@@scottycranmer8548 children's brain develop the most till about age 7 or I think! they soak up so much knowledge. that's why it's so much easier for a kid to be taught multiple languages than an adult.
It’s ok, her parents are just beating her at home if she doesn’t get the third measure exactly right /s
It takes a child to play like this. Goes to show how many adults truly retain their inner sense of whimsical creativity.
And thats a short list. This was splendid.
What a darling, what a family. Their contribution to the arts is humanity at it's best. Hurrah to the music professionals who worked and trained her also.
Wow. For anyone who hasn't pressed the keys on a real piano: they're HEAVY. They take quite a lot of force to play loud or fast, and if you're a kid they will tire you out in about 10 seconds. 20 if you're an adult 😂.
Yes, you need to use the force of your arm. You cannot play like this just by using your fingers/hand force. With proper technique it should not tire you out.
Especially on really nice pianos where they design it for the dynamics to have much more range. Like on a cheap piano the keys are much easier to press and the dynamics end up sounding pretty similar but if you want range the keys take a lot more force
omggg i thought it was easy😭
The trick is to drop (yes drop, not press) your arm weight through the finger(s) into the exact keys you want (at the time you want, with the speed you want too (loudness)). This takes coordination and control, but not actually much strength. Standard downweight for a single key is just 50g.

On the level she is performing, you do not ‚memorize‘ the notes, you walk through the piece like you take a walk on a well known path through a park where you know every tree or bush. The music goes right from your brain (or heart - whatever you like better) to your fingers without the detour through your mind. That is the only way to play that fast with such passion, to become one with the music.
No, it is not her memory that is impressive. Hundreds of thousands of kids her age have no difficulty remembering such music.

It’s rare to truly hear the notes all being played and there’s not a second of technical error. Randy Rhoads was another musician that the articulation and notes played perfect. It’s a talent I truly wish I possessed for my guitar playing.

I have to disagree with you on randy rhodes though he is a good guitarist. If you're looking for clarity in articulation and perfectly played notes without technical error I would check out Alan Holdsworth
There’s no way you get that good and stop playing unless you lose an arm or something.

It was the hardest things I did and I absolutely loved it. There is nothing better than feeling the audience’s energy.

I can’t believe she started signing like it was a walk in the park for her. Just breathtaking
Why? Singing is easy
@@christiantaylor1495 singing and playing is not though lol
It appears that she begins singing shortly after making a small error, also the only error from what the rest sounds like.
@@defeatSpace are you suggesting it was to help her from her mistake get back on course? I wouldn’t know a thing! I didn’t hear a mistake 😂
@@christiantaylor1495 yes but her brain is being occupied, very occupied. She has to remember every key and when to press it. To be singing like her mind was wandering was just so impressive
Love that she plays in a way that I hope implies she hasn't had to play in a "specific way", motions, facial expressions, posture, it seems, taut, but natural. I hope it is.
I can already tell that in 7 years this is gonna be there in everyone's RUclips recommended page and will get lots of views .
She knows just how hard and when to hit each key just perfect. Absolutely mesmerizing!
Um, I'm pretty sure that's how you properly play the piano.....
@@BeGladStayMad not everyone can play like this.
@@meeky0420 No shit sherlock
Yeah. that’s called being on tempo and having good dynamics, it’s not that special literally every musician does what you described
@@brodycalifornia6384 as a musician and teacher. I can confirm that is not true. It’s what sets apart a classically trained musician , from…you! 🤣 get some skills and then we can chat.
What you love to see isn't the beautiful performance, but how much she is actually enjoying playing
@Dolly Leema God has nothing to do with this, it's a child enjoying what it's doing. Why does everything have to be "Gods work"?
@Dolly Leema so rude to discredit her hard work and talent by attributing it to god… why would god be playing piano through a ten yr old while there are people dying in the world LOL
@@jennifrsbody Dolly disagrees with you. When I said her talent is from 8,000 to 16,000 hours of practice, she replied "No, it's god given talent...yada, yada dumb opinions then I'll belittle you for knowing what you're talking about.".
She's an idiot, bible thumping boomer who acts as if she not only plays the piano but is also some piano prodigy but is missing the basic concepts of playing/learning an instrument and you actually said pretty much what I'm about to comment towards her.
@Dolly Leema If I practiced/played something 100-500 times and someone said God is playing through me or God has given me talent, I would be insulted. Not only would I come at you and roast your existence but I would remind you how stupid you are. I want to smack you FOR this young lady. No God has anything to do with this young ladies perseverance. She worked harder than most adults do all year for her skill. Since she's so young, a significant portion of her time on earth has been poured into developing this skill. To ignore that and say that some god has done this for her is ignorance at it's finest. Again, it's muscle memory. She's probably played this song about 200 times but probably more. You can tell she's practiced it a lot from when she starts singing. Or did Jesus sing through her? Does Jesus also do harmonies? Or if one of the members of the orchestra called in sick, you think he'd fill in?
Absolutely true
That is soooo clear. Amazing control and she has the feel for music for sure
there are some ppl who truly just have natural talent. you couldn’t teach that.
I love Mendelssohn's first piano concerto. It's so playful and dramatic at the same time, and even though she's a kid, I haven't seen anyone catch the "spirit" of it as perfectly as her.
Because it's on Spotify, I mostly listen to Thibaudet's recording, and it's great, but... this one is simply a gem.
I hope you have listened to the whole performance!
(The link is in the description.)
This peice and performance should be called 'state of flow'. At this level of artistry, its not hard to imagine she feels a certain level of joy I'll probably never understand
Couldn’t have said it better!
I just can’t begin to imagine how these piano prodigies brains work. Not human
Millions of piano players across the world like 😯 and this girl just vibin' to the groove.
Thank you for linking her channel in description!
When she starts singing the "bump bump bump bumps" that was my favorite part. LOL And the way she bounces in her seat as she plays. It lets you know she is really just a kid having fun, who just so happens to have an extraordinary talent.
Exactly!! I hope she keeps the passion for it. This was incredible
What I really, really like about her is that she feels the music, the moment she starts singing along shows character, dynamics, and a moment of her loving what she's doing. That's what I really adore. The speed is incredible. But we listen to music done by people for a reason.
Insane, i wish her nothing but the best for her future as a musician
And she makes it look so effortless
The way she’s projecting over the orchestra is unmatched. It’s so crisp and clean and the melody line sings. 💫
This might be the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen a child of her age do. Just wow. There are people that practice for decades and aren’t at her level. I wonder if there’s really any room for her to improve because she sure seems like she’s at the top already. Incredible.
while others have practiced for decades she has trained her whole life :D
@@Jazzistandersful she’s still not mozart that’s for sure

*Proof that Metal is essentially Classical Music*
Holy cow. She is one dedicated musician to play like that.
Not only clarity, the play on nuances is spot on and simultaneously out of this world!
yeah thats what struck me. at such high speeds, her accentuations are incredible
@Karl with a K go find a shrink
Look at those tiny fingers flying. She's unbelievably talented, and so into it. It's a delight to watch.
When your instructor teaches you technique but understands you're still a child who wants to have fun and not a machine.
What an incredibly talented young person!!! You are awesome!
Holy cow
It took me two years to learn a similar piece of lesser difficulty and I'm nothing compared to the skill she has 😭
you dont know how many years it took her
@@Populous3Tutorials I never said anything about that, just about how long I took to learn something else
Comparison is the death of joy
which piece dkmdkddm
@@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz fantaisie impromptu no4 - the overplayed
What I love most when you can see the musician is a gift that very few musicians display. Watch her movements. Watch her mannerisms. Watch her sing, the facial expressions, the way she bounces and leans into the piano. She's feeling what she's playing. She's being "moved" by her own music. That is an artist. This is art.
beautifully worded, you are an art of your own words yourself haha
Okay Jack
Look at her just bobbing along like she didn't just murder a billion pianists.
What a talented young girl. I bet she has a thriving social life and a great relationship with her parents.
How can someone be that young and understand dynamics better than 95% of the musicians I’ve ever encountered

We have a lot to learn about the human brain
Because 99% of humans are useless and lazy. You can't ever do this because you lack the attention span. You'd rather watch Netflix than actually spend time improving a skill that is actually worth something. That is why people like you will always be below average.
I'd argue it's because she's young
@@luvcherry that doesn't even make sense then why don't all kids do crazy stuff like this?
As someone who took one semester of beginners piano in college, I am even more impressed than I would have been before that class. Still very impressed, but now times ten.
Im in the same situation as you XD It’s so spectacular what and how that girl played !
This is the type of thing you are more and more impressed with the better you get and realize just how close real masters or prodigies are to perfection
The amount of talent some children have is amazing. It goes to show if you push them they can succeed in life. Never underestimate the power of support a parent can have.
It takes prodigous talent, dedication, & very strict parents to get to that level. Nothing but respect.
Whenever someone does something with passion, it comes through in a way that just feels more alive. This is especially the case with music, where even when the notes or clarity aren’t 100% accurate, the feeling still comes through. The way she moves and sings along, tells you she does this with passion, because she feels compelled to become the music itself.
I’ll never understand how children reach a level of mastery that most adults can only dream of
m2! I picked up a guitar once & after 5mins trying to correctly place my fingers.... I had a seizure🙃 I guess some ppl just have it
Lots of beatings

Quite right. You are so lucky not to be genius.
Neuroplasticity
Many people will scoff, but it's to do with the fact re-incarnation and separate astral realities exist. It's probably some of the best proof out there.
A lovely performance-the style and tone is perfect for Mendelssohn.
The clarity. The precision. The feel.
Absolute genius ! ❤️
