Probably not even that much considering his age, the volume of his repertoire, and the fact that he went to Harvard. I've been watching George since he was about 9 years old and even then he had the technique of an experienced adult.
@@pkindia9241 mmmm ya different tastes I thought why there ur ruining the piece but it's his interpretation I cant do anything until I can play it but I will 3 more years and I'll be at this level
@@lastbornrelic3430 Some parts are supposed to be more calm and gentle. The first 20 seconds or so for example. But chromatic scales, trills and runs, are meant to be more exaggerated. It would sound weird for the more immersive parts to be played calmly. It would be hard to make it sound good anyways.
a minute ago I watched 24 prominent piano players performing 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata and I ended up here after watching all 24 performers.. Every key is treated in a due manner.. not a bit less not a bit more.. true perfection )
Jacob Tan Near the end of the piece, Liszt writes in the option to play a cadenza. A cadenza is a short passage near the end of a musical work that is traditionally improvised on themes from the music by the soloist. In this case, Sergei Rachmaninoff put his passage to paper for future musicians to play. George Li is playing this cadenza where called for in the music by Liszt. It begins at 3:40 and concludes at 5:34.
@@youtubeepicuser4209 no one ever improvises a cadenza. Some might claim they would, but no one, not even the biggest geniouses of our time would walk out in a concert hall filled with thousands of people and would improvise. They compose and spend month of hard practicing their compositions...
Excellent performance. I am certain that he dedicated double the practice hours for the slow part in the middle. Just insane coordination and musicality is needed.
was wondering the same thing...he is a genius if it's his own ...I really like it...at first i thought that was how the piece was but when I saw Lisitsa playing it it wasn't like this one...we need to know!
I think Listisa plays her own interpretation as well. This is very close to the original, but again with some interpretations here and there. Check Adam Gyorgy as well, he has a very expressive interpretation.
Anipporelle I've already listened to numerous versions of this repertoire cuz I also play this in my concert, as well as the version of Adam Gyorgy you said. Try listening to Maksim Mrvica's Rhapsody as well, I think you'll like it if you love Adam Gyorgy's version.
Armando Araujo not really hard work to do it if you love it. And those musicians are talented in their own way, writing a hit with clever rhyming lyrics is hard.
His touch is just insane
0:53
True...
Like a rapist….
many thousands of hours of dedication and hard work on display for your listening pleasure. All these pros deserve our eternal respect.
Yes
4 years since then so how much have you improved at piano?
Nah, it was just 5 minutes of simply piano bro.
Even thousands of hours of hard work will not help if man does not have a talent endowed by God.
Imagine if people put the thousands of hours that they spend into worthless things into productive things like this. We would be so much cooler.
People do not understand how much time and nerves have been spent on these few few minutes, big respect to this guy!

Я тоже разбираю. Это настолько сложно я не ожидала, а здесь он очень хорошо играет даже очень)
Я хочу дойти до какого чтоб прям афигенно играть!
This man wasn’t nervous before the concert… the PIANO was
😂😂😂
he has such a good sense of timing, i like where he decides to slow it down, how he exaggerates certain parts with his timing. Good stuff.
This what I dont like about it 😂we got different taste I guess

That is called rubato, i think
This guy deserves a medal for not having a seizure while playing this.

Fuck u man😭😂😂😂😂 I died
So you’re just gonna ignore his piano skills and make a meme unrelated to this video

stupid boy
Imagine him working in a office.
How long would the key board last?
?
Was the pund intended? :))
Bravissimo George !
40 hours
@@cubical2847 ah, a man of intellect i see
The pure joy I get when listening to this is indescribable. Thank you George!!!
It's the first time I see someone play it so fast and clean. Well done!!
Lang lang
@@DrYong-ml3ws not clean thoi
@@mrmalaysiandude1389This is the smoothest I have heard it. Did you have a recommendation for a “clean” version?
@@flimtokrosseau (spelt wrong I think but) listen to his it’s the only rendition that’s absolutely perfect
Words cannot express how impossible it is to play that piece in this speed and accuracy. Absolutely breathtaking
Liszt would be proud! Great interpretation. Thank you.
This art should never die.
This is incredible. He actually knows the piece by heart. And the tempo is amazing.
Meanwhile, the medic in the background:
"don't worry guys, he's not having any seizure"
Damn thats hilarious!
the insane part is that he didn’t made a mistouch on that crazy speed
Amazing! Liszt would love this!
In fact he would hate this, he wrote really complex pieces that he thought, only he could play, he wanted to show off in a way.
Simply stunning - mesmerized by George’s genius!

Super magnificent George just loved your timing you simply nailed it !
what a lovely pianist
all the best to you George.
This isn’t real
He had a speed potion
*gasp*
How did you make the bold letters??
Khánh Hưng put a asterisk on both sides of a word like **this**
*this*
Yes! Its a speed potion!
He is truly enjoying the music.......
George you absolutely went down to "The Crossroads" wow that was amazing.
this is tue dedication, love how he plays non-stop
BRILLIANT ! MAJESTIC INTERPRETATION !!!
I will never forget this.
His little finger not grow at 1:30, when you play that piece your little right hand finger must grow.
Tom & Jerry reference?
Yes its impossible to no
RIP his gf
LMAOOO NAHH FAM YOU'RE WRONG FOR THAT
Don't worry he doesn't have a girlfriend
omg 😭😭 LMFAO
@@Granola_cat yes, he only has a piano
@@martinferrer7472 yep
Absolute perfection and superb expression!
nobody flexed like him in the interpretation
It wasn’t an improvisation, that was Rachmaninov’s Cadenza 🙃
No
Watch Hamelin‘s cadenza of The hungarian raphsody. Its God level
GENIUS !!!
This is the best performance of this piece I’ve ever heard. This is probably exactly how Liszt would have played
I don’t care if it was 7 years ago, it was so perfect
This is a better rendition than the other ones I heard
I do think some spots the tempo was a bit weird but mostly really good
Increíble!!! Fabuloso George!!! Mejor no puede ser!!
¡Correcta!
Well done, Mr Li! (Clappings)
Greetings from Argentina!🇦🇷
Dude.....he's dancing while playing. And the precision. Wow
No... I only saw his hair going crazy.
For those who are curious, I believe this is Rachmaninov's cadenza
Which is Rachmaninoff's Cadenza?

No matter when I hear this it brings a smile to my face. It must be something in the notes.
Nah, I poisoned your water supply
@@timlitjens5920 man u r annoying why did u do it into mine also
A superb pianist. I can't understand why he does not have more concerts. Or am I missing something?
Brilliant work👏👏👏👏👏
Wow talk about a tough piece! Congratulations, that was amazing.
Ha, ha, ha!!! It seems that George has reached a new level of technique.
Good job my son !
Sir Franz, you are the best!
この若さにて完璧といえるテクニックを身につけてらっしゃる。ラフマニノフのカデンツァは、クズミンの演奏以来あまり出会いませんでしたが、これもまた素晴らしい！
5:34 The End of Cadenza
진짜 엄청나네요! 이 정도 수준까지 도달하는데 얼마나 오래 걸리셨을지 가늠이 안됩니다 ㅠ
I used to think RUSH E was impossible, but this man, he might have the strength to do it
RUSH 🅱️*
his repeated notes are so clear its crazy
gotta love that introductory climax face
Yes, GENIUS !!!
wonderful.
Easily one of the best pianists of his generation
Not really
Excellent performance. I am certain that he dedicated double the practice hours for the slow part in the middle. Just insane coordination and musicality is needed.
Στα αρχιδια μας
very good dynamics
is this cadenza his own version? I really want to get the sheets for it... It's so good

I'm the uploader of this video. As far as I know the cadenza in this movie is Rachmaninoff's.

What does "friska" actually mean?
It's a name adapted from Hungarian for the fast section of a Hungarian folk dance called Csárdás (or of the music that accompanies this dance).
