    I just want to say I have probably rewatched this rendition legitimately over 100 times, something about public performances of these classical masterpieces just makes listening more enjoyable than typical concert-like performances of them (although those are great too) getting to see the average person where some people may recognize the piece while others just admire the performance and sound that they were hearing among the chaos. I truly thank you for uploading this, probably my favorite piano cover on youtube not even exaggerating.

I always come back to this piece when I just need to feel music straight to my soul. This was masterfully played, and in a loud, busy airport no less. Glad some people had the time to stop and watch you play. If it were me there, I might've missed my flight 😂

    Une très belle interprétation de cette magnifique Ballade en sol mineur opus 23 de F.CHOPIN que ce jeune pianiste très très talentueux parvient à restituer sur ce mauvais piano avec tout le brio qu'exige cette oeuvre très difficile sur le plan technique et musical.Des quatre ballades de CHOPIN ( celle en fa mineur aussi tout de même ) , c'est celle qui rassemble toutes les difficultés liées à la technique pianistique.Et que dire de l'aspect musical ! Eh bien , ce jeune et surdoué pianiste maîtrise tout cela avec une aisance déconcertante.Même la terrible Coda ne l'impressionne pas ! Et n'oublions pas qu'il dispose là d'un piano d'étude de qualité médiocre et mal accordé.
    Nous pouvons l'applaudir pour sa très remarquable et très belle interprétation de ce chef-d'oeuvre de CHOPIN , qui était d'ailleurs sa Ballade favorite.
    Merci et bravissimo !!!
