With all the respect to the performer, but I hope he isn't serious in this performance.

His hands reminded me of two people who are arguing, talking over each other's voices and interrupting one another.

He would probably play this considerably better if the damn camera were not running.  He looks very tensed up.

Oh my. I'm learning this at the moment and that just makes me want to cry... I really hope he is better without the camera. It's so beautiful when you play it well... technicalities apart there was no feeling there at all.
Go you big red fire engine!
