From memory!? Can you fit all those notes in your brain? Magnificent!

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Easy? Sort of. The main parts are learned, the fast 16th note 4 piece runs are same method for all 4 notes, just sharps/flats and accidental changes, if you have a 4 piece line with changes then you study that exact line more than the rest. It all works out in the end!

[@clyderamirez1]

Not as hard as you would think. When you practice a piece for many hundreds of hours looking at sheet music and reinforcing the phrases and rhythms of each movement it becomes second nature. We did Beethovens first symphony in high school which is significantly longer. By concert day after practicing daily going movement by movement we had it committed to memory. I can't speak as to the methods of a virtuoso but I can imagine they can't be much different.

[@peace-now]

@@clyderamirez1 Probably. Well done on your Beethoven's First.

[@suellendutra9037]

There's a logic in music. If you're familiar with the piece, and you study for years to learn how to play every part perfectly like this, it is kind of automatic for the brain

[@dylangintherofficial]

At 11 its extremely difficult I know these comments want to act like prodigies themselves in their 30’s with no name to them but the reality is what this pianist is doing at her age is matching levels of some of the greatest So yes its very unlikely everyone can just easily do this even after hundreds of hours of practice

[@clairdelune25]

Alexandra Dovgan, what you have achieved in your 11 years of life is so much more than many people can achieve in a life time, you are a unique talent and prodigy, a genius I should say, you play with the wisdom of an adult and the playfulness and energy of a young child, the technique is superb, absolute, and your musicality that of an old soul, I am in awe of what I just saw, and congratulate you from the bottom of my heart for your talent and hard work, you, your parents and your teachers. You are such a joy to watch, may God continue to bless you in this road you have taken so passionately, and be a blessing to all that listen to you.

From the moment she starts cleaning the keyboard of her piano (00:05) until they leave the stage together (19:54) there's a charming chemistry between Alexandra and the conductor Alexander Sladkovsky.

Every time I watch this video, it gets warm around my soul.

Indeed, and just imagine, despite having rehearsed with her, hearing this power, nuance, and elegance pouring out behind you - must have been mind boggling .. Very telling is the opening crescendo - it is relentless building in strength - more so than, I think, other orchestras Alexandra has played it with, and she matches it with amazing power and authority. It conveys immediately that there will be no soft peddling by either party, but a balanced account.

[@wimsmit71]

I know nothing, really nothing about music, but I am touched by the beauty of this music. I also saw what you mentioned. The conductor, while conducting, finds nevertheless the time to quickly turn around his head and look at her as if saying: "Super Alexandra, you're doing great!", so that she would remain confident.

Edit: Timestamps 0:19 - Molto Allegro con fuoco 7:26 - Andante 12:37 - Presto (This part she plays so clearly and it's one of my fav excerpts of the piano repetoire) After hearing many interpretations of this piece, I do think this is the most masterfully interpreted.

Breathtaking and charismatic. Alexandra is able to send artistic messages, because she loves what she is doing. Very moving to listen and to watch this highly gifted and sensitive girl. Thanks for sharing!

A free membership at Mecici.tv lets you see nearly all the performances on REPLAY - including both of her performances of this concerto, this and the Laureates Concert the next evening.

Wow - this was a good one..

[@shermansmart4369]

@DolphinsWIthIgloos I assume you are attempting to be humorous, otherwise a dumb and very ignorant statement. Years ago, at the hight of the communist regime, when so many artists and athletes were defecting to get away from the oppression, it may have been true. But why can't they simply be good because they are good and not because of any other reason except that they are good?

She doesn't play piano. She doesn't play music. She is the music.

As a musician myself, I can attest to this: when you get to a certain level, the music simply plays you. She feels every line, sings every phrase and feels all of it. She is the music. Yes.

this child... such incredibilty.. how ethereal it must have been to witness her play live... this is possibly the best piano performance i have ever stumbled up on...

I have watched this older video (2 years ????) and the little star she was then, has blossomed into the MEGA STAR she is now, on the way to become an entire Constellation! Alexandra will continue to get larger and larger until she will become a little Universe that plays the piano! How can she pack so much talent in 80 pounds is beyond me... Thank you for the joy you bring into our little tortured souls. The WORLD LOVES YOU!

This actually makes me weep every time! Alexandra is precious and so is her extraordinary talent!

[@ttrons2]

She is amazing.
