Happy birthday Derek. You're an amazing person, with amazing talent. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

[@mariaritafattori1980]

Happy Birthday to you Derek. Nice to meet you. I'm an Italian Interpreter and Translator into English and French. Very nice this video in which you was a child and you already played your piano very well. Congratulations

[@jamesstephens2500]

Happy Birthday Derek! Hope you have a wonderful day today. I came to see you at Wiltshire Music Centre, it was one of the best concerts I've been to. Thank you for your music, best wishes. 🥳

[@alika207]

Happy birthday! This was great to see after reading Adam’s book about Derek.

[@derekparavicini]

Ah that's great to hear! We couldn't find it anywhere online already, and thought it would be nice to provide the actual recording to go with that event in the book. Glad you enjoyed seeing it.😄

[@layz_her2673]

Happy Birthday Derek!

[@ayokay123]

The crazy thing is that he doesn't have to memorize anything unless he wants to, and why want to if you can improvise like this? "Prodigy" is pretty much an understatement.

[@FabledFrame]

Happy Birthday, Derek!

[@robertmallette7187]

Happy birthday Derek. Young Mozart would have been jalous !

[@foundationrepairbear]

Oh wow it's tucker Carlson

[@virg0_lem0nade]

hey happy birthday Derek!!!!!!!

[@SherlockHomeless221b]

Happy birthday Derek. One song id love to hear you play / improvise is " to zanarkand" final fantasy 10. It's such a beautiful song already but I'd be curious to hear you improve it even more. I have no clue why this channel doesn't have millions of subscribers this guy is once in a lifetime. Saying he's 1 in a million would be an insult he's 1 in 27billion

[@derekparavicini]

Ah good choice! We have actually considered playing that one to Derek. A Derekized version could definitely appear one day if he likes it. :D

[@thegaminghermitage5045]

@@derekparavicini Oh oh oh! I would LOVE to see/hear that! I've been going through the videos on your channel and I don't see it there, though... Does that mean he didn't like it, or you haven't played it for him yet? If the latter, I've got to put in my vote for that tune, I'm a HUGE fan of Final Fantasy music, and that's one of the best. If he didn't like it, well, I can't argue with that, everyone's got their own tastes. But if he ever feels like playing any music at all from the Final Fantasy series, I would be very excited to hear it! I'd particularly recommend Eternity ~Memory of Light and Waves~ from FFX-2, either the original version, or the incredible Piano Collections version (which is genuinely the piece that inspired me to get a keyboard of my own over a decade ago).

[@yuanzhou9905]

Happy birthday! You are amazing ;)!

[@chrisofnottingham]

Very interesting, his talent is obvious here but also his touch is way more natural now

[@TheChrisg67]

Wow ❤

[@johnsmith9903]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!.:)

Happy Birthday Derek =)

[@henryjones8287]

Happy birthday!!

[@MyGman2012]

We, with all our faculties, take things for granted. Looking from the outside in, is a bit like looking at the edge of the universe, knowing we can only see the observable part of it due to out own limitations and how light travels through a vacuum in space. The mind is infinite as the universe. The brain is so powerful we haven't even touched the surface of this. We never will.

[@archie6945]

Heard about Lucy before Derek but either would seem to have such an incredible story that it must be unique, but perhaps there's one in every generation!?

[@l3p3]

I see no big difference but I wonder why cover the eyes? I do not see reason to hide anything.

[@bridmhicd]

Absolutely wonderful

[@icturner23]

I remember this so well.
