This is the 3rd Movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. At the time, I learnt it myself so the mistakes were not my piano teacher's fault!
I played it at a resource centre when I was 10 years old. I acknowledge that at the time, it was not very good yet, but I hope you enjoy it! Please comment and check out my other videos!

Michael Ng Piano plus the glasses made him look a bit like kousei 😂
Arima is that you?
you are playing to much fast, slow dawn and will be perfect, just like arima kousei ;)
you look like Vietnamese
Michael Ng Piano yup
After he finishes:
The old people: Did someone say something?
Yep for sure the old people said that 🤣
"I think someone's at the door"
and beethoven
LOL
this old people is coldest ice
the old ladies are like "Beethoven played it better"
Серге й jeez just enjoy the video.. No need for negative comments
They probably saw beethoven's concert
Серге й calm down bet you couldn’t have played it at ten XD not normal people I feel like could..
Серге й mhm yeah he did.
@Серге й with enough practise anyone can play this piece theoretically it's the way it's performed to me so I'd find a much slower piece played above any other more impressive than a difficult piece performed well, listen to rubinstein chopin piano concerto 2 mvt 2
He’s a genius , a great pianist playing my piece
technically no, bethooven hated when people played his pieces slower or faster and this child is playing ALOT faster than the original piece, ofc its rlly impressive at such a young age
@@leaticija2112 but you can fell no fore here its cold all emotion lost to what ever insanity he follows he needs to find himself understand the composer and then lay these emotions in there again .
@@leaticija2112 it’s still better playing it normally then faster with a thousand mistakes like he did but its still impressive for his age as i learned to play this piece at the same age as him also!
OMG BEETHOVEN, IS THAT REALLY YOU?????!!!!!!
@@peterwolf8395 he will. He is just 10 year old boy . Just 10.
He learnt all that by himself? That makes it even more impressive! Bravo dude
He reads the notes

YOOOOOO MAAN
This man has better accuracy at triple the speed that I practice this song and I’ve been practicing for four months with almost 9 years of experience. Boy you’ll grow up to be an absolute legend!
He played so fast I had to check if the vid was sped up! This is amazing and the fact you learned it yourself even more so!
I feel like the old people are going to get a heart attack Edit: I dont mean any hate. I just mean it's a fast exhilarating song.
Its classical music. U feel it. U experience it. Why the fuck would u die from it.

This young boy replays the history of man with each written movement of his hands -this is beautiful
This is the video that made youtube cry with tears of joy,i dont know how that 10 year old kid could play such as masterpieces at the time.
Thank you!
*Asian kid finishes*
His parents: alright son, warm up’s over can you start the piece now ?
yo...thats so true...back in 2000 i played a ad lib style song with tenor sax...and someone said okay, you are done with warm up..play your music...
Agree.
Yes, when i started playing anime song they said it was just a warm up i- like they want classic songs only bruh
Lol
Nah that’s just a normal c scale
Plot Twist: *He can’t hear the notes.*
sure do hope he never meets a blonde girl who plays the violin
HMMMM sounds familiar.
Don't do that Don't give me hope
Hum hum (Beethoven)
Plot twist he is in the deep part of the sea
I wish I started my piano journey earlier. What an incredible performance by a frickin 10 year old 👏
This vid hasn't lost a single bit of amazingness in its ten years of being here.
Thank you!!
The grandma from the back's having flashbacks from WWII
und das heißt
ERIKA!
He should have played the revolutionary etude
Which one
LOL
Lol
He kinda hurried the song a bit...i would have still been stunned to hear it speed 95% and hear it 100% clear, but beside that pure talent
Yeah, but it was most likely because of nerves.
He’s 10 years old he’ll be brilliant in a few years
Draoswaarg Baal yes
Yup
Song?
So good Michael Ng. Thank you
Pov: " *when you saw the boy your getting your lie in april flashback* "
Hey hey stop implying he's bad he's 10 years old he's playing a difficult piece and he's playing for ELDERS now how great is that, anyone noticed ?? Everybody is playing music for their own success and self confidence, just give him credits for doing his best with one of the greatest purpose.
Or you could just encourage him to do better, he might have a bright future AND a good heart.
and he was playing it faster also
+Gustavo Felix (Dark Ninja)
Perception, accuracy, tempo, most importantly the presentation of the emotional theme of the music. Every one of those things should come before the speed to perfect a fast pace classical Piece.
Paul Lin good point
+EpicDorito when you post a video, you should be metally prepared to be judged, regardless if its negative or positive.
+chip botthof you are sick
The guy is still hearting comments after 10 years. Legend
This is freaking impressive. Playing this song at such a young age is insane.
he got a lot of notes wrong tho
Fantastic! And on an old piano of unknown make and age. And he turned his own pages. Watching him play I could see Beethoven himself sitting there! Brilliant! Well done, Michael Ng!
Thank you!
İ FEEL SO MUCH STRESS WHEN THE KİD TRUNS THE PAGE
Harbiden çok geriyo
@Mark Zullo agree
@Mark Zullo I think at that point it is about not having a instant memory loss lol :D
*PLAYS THIS*
Asian parents: ok, son enough practice NOW PLAY SOMETHING HARDER
No, play it backwards
Now play Hungarian rhapsody
Fantasie improbtu
That is what my parent always suggest even if I haven’t even finished learning the piece
You just can't please Asian parents can you?
This is a great piece and my heart joys at the sight of such outstanding kid playing this at his own, preferred pace which is propably 20% faster, what is blowing my mind, since the song itself is incredibly hard to play
Thanks for sharing it made my night or maybe even a week!
So much raw notes, i love it👏❤️😍
Asian parents:
Now do it backwards.
😂😂😂
Tbh he’s playing it too fast he’s tempo needs work...

the fact that he played it at an even faster tempo is crazy
Loved every bit of this :D

Akuwi Vubes LoL
You get used to it :3:
I can't believe someone can actually read that fast
Not really
You're crazy!!! what an ingenious performance!!!!
Now a true person that has mastered the piano. He can read the notes and put it down. Toughest thing read fast and play it. Alot of players out there can only play by ear, cant read notes.

Omg i’m dead at the end of this vid too many amazing notes 💕😵👍
I can do that…
In my dreams
"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable!" - Ludwig van Beethoven
So before you consider critiquing this young man, remember the guy who composed it said that.
He looks like he is having fun!! Give the kid a break.
Agreed.
;) exacto
But you could say that playing as fast as possible and disregarding other areas lacks passion
@@tsu177passion is not objective, it’s a feeling
100% of the comments, 'skill level Asian'
0% of the comments' 'wow he's a good player!'
Frank McNally actually 0.1%
Cause he is not a good player.
Captain Faggini yes I noticed that as well, he’s very quick and not really playing in the right tempo. Plus, you can tell he’s not very passionate about playing the song, he looks too focused.. (but this song takes a large amount of focus so I can’t really blame him on that part) but overall, he’s a really good player, but it’s kinda forced
Honestly, mad respect to this kid but he needs to work on his tempo, rhythm, emotion, tone, and dynamics. Those should go first before speed. But I guess I can’t really call him a kid since I am also ten.
@Andrew Smith Frank deleted all his comments!
You dug a grave for this kids edginess and ignorance.
when you try to go as fast as you can to see how fast you can go:
but no joke this was impressive
I was doing some whole other thing then this kid happened and I couldn't stop watching...humans are amazing.
HE IS GOING FASTER THAN THE ACTUAL SONG
HOW THE HELL IS THAT POSSIBLE
But he’s making so many mistakes
And it’s a piece not a song
Yeah it is kinda disappointing that it does not sound as good as this song was supposed to be played
Probably practiced the piece too much that he may be just playing by muscle memory with the notes just there to remind him which part he is playing.
Darko An Otaku sorry 😂
Ye, but its not good
At least he can hear the notes during the middle and doesn’t break down over his piano ptsd from his mom mid-performance. Good for him.
your lie in april? 😰
Oh my God!!! Marvelous my dear ❤❤❤❤ Lots of love and wishes from 🇮🇳
Incredible, self taught at 10 years old, despite the errors it’s very impressive

DapperRats - ur lie in April

BAD QUALITY yeah quite a bit actually... he was trying to show off speed and missed a lot of notes
Recon nice reference
Aha - not true! I had a lovely childhood :)) check out my most recent vlog at Cambridge to see what I'm up to now
You were 10 years old when you played this. The video is 10 years old at the moment. Just some food for thought.
Woah!! He’s 20 years old now :D
Gosh you just ruined my "my hand is small" excuse...
😂
Same... at least I still have the "I'm not Asian" excuse
@@Jacqueschambrescr7⊙_⊙ Gosh I wish i wasn't asian -_-||
Don't get me wrong, this is just extremely impressive, but as a pianist myself, I have to ask, what is the point of playing faster than normal, when you are going to make a thousand mistakes? It's much better to play slower but with much less mistakes. Nevertheless, I am very impressed, surprised even, that he can play such a difficult piece at a very young age.
Edit: Ok guys, I read the description and it makes much more sense now.
Edit #2: Why is my most controversial comment also the most popular one, I mean gosh, why did I write this like an angry snob T_T
But seriously, I should've chosen my words much differently, I didn't mean to criticize.
True, no one points it out
Agree he missed some notes
very well said.

With time and a few dozen views, this version of Sonata 3rd Moonlight became my favorite, both by the audience and by the pianist as well as the figuration of the show in general. Dogmatic dream alarm clock in many ways! Thanks!

You're good it seems I can follow your calm way of playing
There's really grown ass adults on here criticizing a 10 year old for playing an extremely difficult piece. This dude was easily at the top 1% of his age group when this was made. So what if it's fast? I think it was enjoyable to listen to nonetheless
I agree, it’s an amazing achievement
He’s amazing and all but it’s kinda odd that their was no emotion whatsoever in the song.
You would think someone capable of doing this would put emotion into it.
Random N7 Dude having technical skill and prowess doesn’t automatically allow you to sink your emotions into a piece. He had fun playing it and that’s good enough for now. Being so young, it’s still too soon for him to truly play with emotion needed for this piece.
I mean good that he’s got this down, he has a couple of mistakes in there though and he has the opportunity to fix them. Not the best performance imo, but you gotta give respect to the kid for even attempting to play this. I’m planning on learning this piece soon.
I dont want to brag but I could play this and other difficult pieces (Waldstein... Rage over a löst penny) by Beethoven at age 9 - 11
Long time passed but I still can play it!
This is a really hard piece, and for his age, that is straight up amazing.
