wow.......wow...
You were only 13?!  How much did you practice as a kid?  IMO, God has given you a gift!  So was that a competition, or a festival, or what?  It looks really professional the way it's set up, and the way they introduce you, and all.

It was a competition (Int. Russian Music Competition at San Jose), back when Mr. Vladmir Viardo didn't hate me ;D

But how much did you practice as a kid?  That's quite an accomplishment for a 13yo.

Wow, really amazing! I wish I could do that...
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

shoenberg3,

Congrats mate, you have made me want to quit piano for good (my family will send you a cheque in the post  ;D )!

But seriously, that is really something special for a kid of 13. Have you got any recent recordings, as I would love to hear you play now?

sorry, i will try to get a video up as soon as possible

as for recent recordings, please visit my homepage

https://www.pianosociety.com/index.php?id=230

the most recent one there are the Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, and Korsakov (1-29-05), but none of them are good since I rushed to prepare for the concert.

the Liszt and the Prokfiev (the recorded version of the video) are both from a while back.

Anyways, if you really want hear a good Prok. 3, listen to Giels!
