Stunned at your level of artistry at that age. It's hard for me to fathom. You play them better than I and I'm in my 60's! Wonderful choice of pieces. Horowitz played that Mozart Sonata on his "Last Recording" CD. The whole cd is for my taste the best playing of his life. BTW, I love that slow movement of Beethoven Concerto 1 it's so beautiful. And so is your playing. I'm still shaking my head in amazement at your playing. Do you have perfect pitch? You are very special. Thank You Lisa. Best.
Thank you for listening and for your kind words. There are certain things in this performance that my older self envies: the clarity of ideas and bold energy. They come from very clear concepts of my teacher, and hours and hours of practice. I wouldn’t necessarily condone the kind of childhood I experienced, but there is something valuable in tapping this much focus and deep expression from a young age. Children have a lot to express!
@@LivesOfThePiano Thank You so much for your response! BTW, have you ever considered doing a video on how to practice? Especially how to start and finish a new piece. I was never taught how to effectively practice. I wish I experienced more joy and less frustration through practice. I expect too much too soon. Yet, when I start slowly and really work at it over time I make tremendous progress. That is so gratifying. It's not easy to play well. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Best wishes Lisa.
I have videos on Beethoven’s Moonlight and Waldstein sonatas. And some brief ones on the Appassionata from years ago. You can search under my names and the nicknames!
Thank you, Ji An! It was so long ago, but I remember each memory flub, haha! Dedicated teacher + dedicated parents + malleable child can do some interesting things.
This is amazing! I just recently discovered you after looking up some videos about the Yamaha CFX piano. Anyway, I wished I had videos or at least audio recordings of myself playing the piano at a young age. Though it now inspires me to record my child when she's older and starts playing the piano. BTW, the audio quality is great. How lucky that you even have this. :)

This is incredible, Lisa. Thank you for sharing.

LivesOfThePiano And the work continues in the next generation. Do you teach the pre-college students, too?
Very true! Officially, I teach college-level, but privately I teach students of any age who want lessons.

Thank you! Yes, my father was quite good at keeping recordings of my childhood performances.....
