I agree there is a base level of talent necessary to excel at music, including piano. However, that base level is readily available throughout our population. I believe what separates the normal pianists from the elite is not talent, but work ethic, and I find it insulting to those who have put in the effort to achieve this level of performance to suggest that they were simply handed their talent as a gift from God, as opposed to developing it through dedication to their craft. The same goes for athletes. The difference between the elite baseball player and the guy who fizzled out in college is almost never talent.

Who would have thought someone could make a Queen song sound like a classical music masterpiece? Amazing.

Sheer brilliance!!

[@qdogggp]

Ummm Queen…

[@theresasingh6585]

This song has always been a classical masterpiece

[@swright2658]

Clearly you don’t know anything about Queen or Freddie Mercury. It was intentionally written that way. This performer is also brilliant and is able to emotionally connect with a listener with only the piano as his instrument.

Dawg Man I agree, very talented. I actually like to hear someone that has a natural gift of music over someone who learned to play (also, requires natural talent to learn to read music and play...Don’t get me wrong). It has just always, seemed to me, someone that plays “by ear” plays with more raw emotion and feeling.

@@hamletsmill258 It was more of a rhetorical question. If I ask the question why he deserves a thumps up, it’s because he’s obviously practiced long and hard to play the piano.

He made a conscious choice every day to work on his abilities and develop his talent, and without question to get to the level he is at, he had to sacrifice a lot of other aspects of his life. Let's not take that away from him by calling any of this a gift. I truly believe most people could be as talented as he is at piano, we just don't make the sacrifices that he has made to do so.
