America's Most Talented Kid

[emotionsickness]

DId any of you guys see it last night?  There was a 13-year-old named Agape Chen who played a very famous piece in the round right before the finals, and i am having the most difficult time finding out what the name of it was!  if anyone could help, i'd GREATLY appreciate it!

Hi Sophie!

The pieces that Agape played are the following:
Fantasie-Impromptu op. 66 by Frederic Chopin
Concerto in A minor by Edvard Grieg (without the orchestra)!

She made some changes, but I enjoyed it!!!!

Thank you!!!

A thirteen year old playing the Fantaisie Impromptu and the Grieg 16 being hailed as America's Most Talented Kid?

I'm pretty glad I didn't see that part. lol

Still, must've been pretty entertaining - they play it well?

hey fantasie-impromtu? a piece of cake! i did that a long time ago, and like i'm 14!!!  








hey, i'm only referring to the intro! hahahaha lol!


that kid must be really great!

I consider the show not really accurate in terms of grading the competitors. Watchers should take it as an entertainment and not a competition.
Fantasie Improptu and Grieg Concerto at 13 is not such a feat.
I was never on TV, let alone win a "most talented show" on TV.
However, I played decently (in my opinion) Fantasie Improptu when I was 8.

 How many push-ups can you do?

[thetiniestspark]

Well, I can't play any of that crap but I can do 50 push-ups! HOOAH!











...just kidding. I'm a lot better at piano than push-ups. But I *do* run cross-country. So there.  

[chopinetta]

hey, i can't even do ONE push-up! i was never athletic...

[Beethoven87]

I can do seventy five pushups...  But I should probably spend more time playing piano.  Still, there's something to be said for what extended playing does for arm muscle.
