Legends say that he is still adjusting his seat

[krystal]

When you apply for a job that requires 20 years of experience but you are just 13

[assindiastignani]

For those of you who criticize this young man for the time it took him to adjust the height of the bench, I can only assure you, that particular design of piano bench is the most diabolical device ever invented to torment performers. It's based on a very imprecise spring action, in combination with a lever on the side (which never works properly) that could drive anyone crazy. You have to fiddle with it for what seems like an eternity before you get it to where you are comfortable.

[olakolade]

"Yeah, how long hav you been playing for?"
-13 years
"And how old are you now?"
-13 years old
*confused pikachu face*

[tomasjosefpiano]

the most impresive part was when he finally adjusted the chair height correctly

[hirawaningimam]

He at 13: played la campanella
Me at 13: sleep in 40 hours a day

[gliddyglupgloopy]

I won a $500 scholarship for playing La Campanella when I was about 25 and now listening to the incredible musicianship and finesse, and the absolute sense of ease of playing this 13 year old has, I am blown away!

[PRIME.BATTLE]

I can't even press wrong notes this fast

[stampfle]

Six years later I had the pleasure of watching him play in Singapore. He is still just as handsome and his playing has advanced to perfection. He will become a legend.

[Subscriberswithtwovideos-grtk]

Damn, i wish my parents forced me to play the piano when i was a fetus.

[plk]

my self esteem dropped lower than marianas trech

[dimsumjustin]

this is the kid who you should call talented not those kids on American Got Talent

[irenegarcia]

He's hand is faster than my WiFi connection

[chan]

You can tell he’s a main character by the white hair.

[mules]

I always used “I have short fingers” as an excuse…

[emmxuvel]

If yOu caN PlAY iT sLow, You CaN PlAY It FAsT

[charlesdavis]

I nearly cried when I realized how poorly Alexander's performance was recorded. Shame on you guys. This is history.

[elmotlk]

The people who dislike are jealous because they can't practice 40 hours a day

[phoenix]

The kid show so much maturity in this piece. Normally kids who can play piano at a high level at such an early age tend to pace faster to show off their skills, but his timing is impeccable.

[fsffujjj]

i wanna see how he will play when he grows up...
