    there's two rules all pianists must know:
    1. Never stop while performing, no matter what
    2. never repeat missed notes
    it made me die inside when he repeated the notes 2 times but the save was good, props to him for performing in front of the school. I remember playing for my final music school exam and then suddenly forgot the notes completely, started slowing down cause I completely forgot what to play next, and then suddenly when I was just about to stop it popped into my head and I started playing again, felt petrified at that moment.

    Hey y'all! (semi)-Quick PSA:
    For those struggling with SAD/Depression (Social Anxiety Disorder), or any disorder or addiction for that matter, I wanted to express my understanding of the them. I have since recovered, but at the time this video was recorded, my SA was at its worst--I have never been more terrified of a performance in my life. Even when I sat in the practice rooms with the door closed, I would start getting seriously anxious if I knew even one person was able to hear me. I knew I was disadvantaged for this performance so I practiced tirelessly. After a while I began to hate the song, but my biggest goal at the time was for my music to be heard, or for at least one person to feel changed after they left the auditorium--so I kept practicing. I believe this truly shows the importance of setting goals; I never would have even finished this piece if it weren't for the goal I had set in my mind.
    The thought of the concert would provoke so much anxiety the week beforehand, and I questioned whether I could even perform the piece. Once I got on the stage the anxiety so was unbearable I felt like vomiting, but as I played on I had reached a state of 'flow' where my anxiety entirely melted away. It is a very strange feeling, but the best I can explain is that the piano and I became one, and I'd never played better in my life.
    I walked off the stage with a deep sense of pride, and happiness that short term gratification could never match. I had reached an audience, and they had heard my music--this was all that I needed, but you all blew this video up. To everyone who watched, I cannot thank you enough. Not only had fulfilled my dream, but you all took it to a new level. I still to this day enjoy reading the new comments, and those who were inspired by this performance. There is nothing more I could ask for in life, but I will continue to strive to reach a bigger audience one day.
    I wanted to share my story, so those with SAD/Depression can understand that not only is it possible to do things unimaginable, but that you can do so much more than you think you are capable of. I found my happiness by helping others, but the first steps I ever made was reaching out for help. Therapy is hard and exhausting, but I encourage those who have access to it, to grasp it firmly. To those who don't, swallow your shame and talk to a friend, family member, or anyone for that matter.
    Because, "When you see the problem, but you can’t find the solution, you’re the problem."
    Recovery is possible, and the odds are absolutely stacked against you, but if you give up you're a BITCH. Get your ass up and ask for help.
    Thank u for reading

In the moment, any slip up sticks with you and makes your hands sweat for the rest of the piece! Watching you perform and the passion behind every movement really makes me understand why having musicality is so important.

    That's what a musicien is, making mistakes isn't grave, what's important is to transforme those mistake into something better.
    Playing "perfectly" isn't important, what's important is playing with emotions and make the melody live.

    bro this was INCREDIBLE, the amount of emotion you convey when you play is insane, you’re so talented!! i’ve been teaching myself how to play the piano for about 8 months now and holy shit i wanna be able to play like you when i grow up (even tho i’m definitely much older than you💀)

    I absolutely love this, started practicing this piece myself more than a month ago now, and never had lessons, been playing for like 2-3 years learning by myself. Few parts stay difficult, especially the part where you did the legendary save, massive respect, and the end is also tad bit hard I find, but you aspire me to keep going. Absolute king

    This piece is so difficult but beautiful because it demands that you play it with emotion. This was soso immaculately done if not for feeling alone. You captured the spirit of the song well, I think the slip up adds to that

    Howl's Moving Castle was the first Ghibli movie I ever saw, and when I rewatched it for the first time in years a few weeks ago, hearing Merry-Go-Round of Life nearly brought me to tears almost every single time it played throughout the film. You've clearly poured your heart into this performance of a song so very dear to me, and for that I thank you. Keep up the marvelous work, and never stop having fun playing piano!

    holy god your rendition is so full of life and emotion, and executed so brilliantly ,from the pedaling to your technique, I can just see your passion seeping through with every note you play, i genuinely nearly started screaming at 4:50 , definitely one of my favorite interpretation's of merry-go-round of life I have ever heard - no kidding -
    and the way you just recovered so easily from your mistake, just proves how great of a pianist you are!
    amazing job :)

  • @Orion-bu5hn

    Great job honestly! From my limited view of your posture and arms I can see that you’re quite tense. You should keep performing with every opportunity that comes your way and gradually you’ll reach your potential! I really enjoyed your recording of Brahms and am looking forward to more of your videos!

    • @lucamccr574
