[@yogadaily9864]

I tried playing this monstrosity in college as a music composition major. The reason I refer to it as that is because it takes a truly skilled pianist to play this all the way through flawlessly. Your wrists literally want to break off a quarter of the way through. I consider myself a pretty good piano player but never had the desire or perseverance to come close at mastering this piece. And to play the whole thing by memory, holy Christ. This guy makes it looks absolutely effortless.

Very hard to answer with a number. He obiously has studied piano for a long time judging by his technic and skill. It' not so much how long it took to learn this piece as it is the number of years it took to gain these skills and how quick a study he is. For a skilled student of 7 or 8 years, I would guess he could learn it AND memorize it in about two weeks practinging about 2 hours a day or less. There are too many unknownvariable here to give you a solid answer.

[@KLP99]

I'm the palindrome of your age, and as a former professional musician, I can say this performance is quite remarkable. On a personal note (a little off-topic - pardon my wall of text): I love the technical excellence of the music of Chopin. I love the same about Beethoven and Mozart, and Mahler. But they have something Chopin didn't. He was wealthy and well taken care of his entire life, while the others in my example had very hard lives. Their music contains something the music of Chopin lacks: heart and soul, but more, it lacks the depth and grace of the divine. When you perform each, you can feel the differences deep inside. I have known other musicians who never picked up on that as I did then and do now. That's okay. We each can enjoy things for different reasons. That's the beauty of all the arts. Each can touch everyone in different ways. That's okay. More than okay; it's beautiful.

I have seen better pianists than him end up becoming teachers supplementing their income by doing occasional chamber music performances and conducting the local church choir. Let alone that he'd ever be able to play Beethoven at a level similar to great Beethoven performers like Wilhelm Kempff, Arthur Schnabel or Rudolf Buchbinder.

The way you put it makes us sound like computers. In reality, it's a lot more natural. I think it combines muscle memory, visual queues, and audio perception to memorise it.

I usually memorise how different parts in an orchestra play it, but some people take it further and can transcribe a part down to every note, stem, letter, dynamic marking, and spelling.

I actually wept watching this astonishing performance. Does this young man realize what a gift he has? And I'm sure he's worked very hard to achieve this level of accomplishment. These classical pieces continue to be a gift to humanity and transcend the differences of cultures and societies. I will remember this performance the rest of my life!

I love this, being both "eye-candy" and "ear-candy" at the same time!

[@napke8571]

Beethoven can be proud, you are talented! And what I like is that you played it without rush, well done!

[@dwaynesbadchemicals]

It’s so strange seeing a great piano and player in such a setting. Fantastic.

[@ВалентинаМарцюк]

Потрясающая МУЗЫКА! Исполнение великолепное, виртуозно и вдохновенно!

[@florences2153]

Super!... I am entirely in another world just listening to this piece of music played by a young pianist. Thanks

[@theshoeman7044]

Another stunning and passionate performance by Peter. Breathtaking.

[@jeffreyhearn8930]

Fantastic playing. Young, slender handsome lad. Fabulous setting. This - and he - has everything going. Brightness ahead!

[@rendezviouss]

Magnificent. What else can I say? Such a young guy to play such great music. ❤

[@kyleclark7740]

its the juxtaposition for me with the somber melody and the bright background. a very brilliant reproduction

[@robthibault4952]

So happy to see you go back to your classical roots! Bravo maestro!

[@johnpcomposer]

Still ranks as one of Beethoven's most stirring and iconic piano pieces.

It so nice to see the young generation appreciate an old generation classic music in such a unique way

[@JoeKaye959]

What old generation are you referring to ?

[@edithkoncilja4955]

Que maravilla !!!!!

Beethoven is timeless

Bravo, although the piano needs a bit of tuning

Such a beautiful piece played by the fingers of a very talented individual! Bravo

[@НадеждаЯрзаева]

Столько труда! Восторг! С ваших рук классика приобрела другие тона, которые хочется слышать и слушать. Это дар! Не каждый музыкант может так передать музыку. Благодарю!

[@LloydCrawford-j7u]

Absolutely amazing to watch & beautiful, beautiful music!! Memorization of such an astounding piece is astonishing to me!

[@Bvic3]

Memorisation isn't that hard. You don't mentally play each note, but blocks that are logical and predictable. Accordingly, you only memorise the sequence of those blocks. But then, even those blocks come in a somewhat predictable pattern. So in the end, you don't need to memorise much information. The more experienced you are, the more building blocks you'll have assimilated and the more you can compress the data in your brain.

[@ТанюшаМатвиенко-ъ1с]

Бетховен точно был бы горд, что его музыку исполняют такие талантливые исполнители... Браво!!!😊

[@Pikasusuu]

Not only a perfect rendition of one of the most difficult pieces of piano music, but this dude did it from MEMORY.

[@scottgarbo1288]

My goodness. That was absolutely amazing and so beautiful. In spite of the gorgeous, tropical background of palms trees and the ocean, I couldn't help but watch your fingers the entire time, as they moved across the keys so adeptly. Thank you for sharing this performance.

Всегда удивляет талант музыкантов, это ведь не песню выучить.Играть без нот.Огромный труд.Плюсом то что дружит со спортом.Молодец!

Много лет назад окончила музыкальную школу с отличием, а сейчас сама удивляюсь, как можно запомнить такой объем музыкального материала.

I am left speechless here . He had me in tears . I can not even imagine the years and years of this young mans endless training to get to THIS level of performance . ALL FROM MEMORY no less . What he gave up in his childhood must have been great ... such as having school friends , vacations , hiking , going out to movies ETC . He stayed home and practiced . The pay off from all of that was THIS . He is as fine as any concert pianist out there at any age. It must be so incredible to be able to just express yourself this way . To relieve stress and let it ALL FLOW OUT . Congrats on creating your art !

[@vernelee7277]

I don't think he missed any hiking or fishing trips. He is in REALLY good shape. Obviously hits the gym on the regular and probably has the ladies flocking all over him.

[@lorettacurzi8655]

Non la farei così tragica...l aspetto fisico non è di chi ha sacrificato moltissimo per la musica.. è un bel ragazxo con i muscoli al posto giusto!

[@eduardoleonlotero]

Yes he plays well but there is no need to say that “he didn’t have school friends or vacations” omg 😭😭😭 he most certainly did

[@catherinetozzi8056]

WOW! 🇺🇸🙏🏽🇺🇸

[@Jamestyros4]

Absolutely outstanding! How can anyone make any criticism. Playing by memory or by ear, is a gift. Thoroughly enjoyed your performance. 🙌
