I found the greatest child prodigy on the planet...

[@PiergiorgioWilson]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄 One of my favorite gifts this year was discovering Chun-Ning Chen. She made me realize very quickly that I need to practice harder, smarter, and more efficiently. Jokes aside, I've really missed the process of creating videos. I hope to make more content for you soon and practice on! 🤝

[@vivianguo7872]

Happy holidays, Pier!

​@@sub2fryzly It should read, there's always an Asian better than you. These so called progedies have been thrashed by tiger parents till they practice every waking hour.

[@jaynainsync]

THank you for posting...I'm a retired pianist and thouroughly enjoyed this little gal....I taught for years and realized that some forms of musicality can not be taught...it has to come from within. Her flawless pedal technique is amazing. She must have an incredible teacher.

[@Miraak1868]

No, she had and incredible prior life.

[@jaynainsync]

@@Miraak1868 I thought of that too...wondering WHO she was "last incarnation"

[@Miraak1868]

@@jaynainsync Yes. I read an article that very very young children can sometimes describe, what appears to have been, a prior life. For your info - - aobut two weeks ago I read a story that the Pentagon did a study if humans have "souls". The Pentagon of all places ! ! Look it up.

[@crizit9505]

She's also performing live alchemy from how she's turning all our diplomas to dust.

[@davidjohnson6553]

Well that was a humbling experience. She's brilliant!

[@mjears]

I have to agree, astounding playing. I have never heard the Moszkowski with greater clarity, and she gets the HARMONIES across perfectly in the C major étude!! My wish for her is that she does exactly what she most wants to do with the piano and music all her life. I feel so lucky to have this excellent, brief survey of her videos recommended to me 2 hours after you posted it. Thank you.

[@MishaSkripach]

You never heard because you did not know where to look.

[@abbeyekrut9528]

3:00 BRO SHE WAS SINGING THE SOLFEGE!!!! 💀 especially the last two notes “mi-fa” with the E-F…however she’s using fixed do so that’s how E & F end up being mi and fa rather than ti & do 😭

[@babycarrot5674]

Multitasking genius playing the piano and singing solfege, the rest of us could never get on her level

[@Qwerty-g1b2o]

​@nannalazbecause it's in f major the relative do would be f So in relative do it would be Do (f) re (g) mi(a) fa(b flat) so(c) la(d) ti(e) do(f) If she was using relative do on the scale she would've said ti, do Cause she said mi, fa she's using fixed do

Indeed an amazing prodigy, absolutely stunning. Chin-Ning Chen, we will be seeing that name throughout the concert halls

The best thing about this is we are all not really envious, but pulling for her. Btw Waterfall op. 10 no. 1 was not expecting such gorgeous long lines.

[@danielkristianson208]

Piergorgio, Someday you will be an OUTSTANDING Professor of piano .... your students will be so fortunate. You are probably too young to realize it at this moment in your musical life. Thank you for sharing these videoclips of a most amazing piano prodigy, Chun-Ning Chen.

[@bryceshinohara9270]

and all memorized!!! 😭

[@steveclemons8191]

My! What a wonderful gift she has! I'm not trying to downplay the many hours of hard work that she puts in, but you have to have a special gift to do this. and I can't believe anyone could put in that much work if they didn't love it. My greatest hope is for this girl to have a happy life. I hope the very best for this girl. Some people who are granted such wonderful gifts and success, it ends up being more of a trial and difficulty in their life than a blessing for their life. I pray that this girl will have a happy life and not fall into the traps that lie waiting to try to catch her. Then she will really be a shining light for so many. love

[@Ravenclawforever1416]

Also, Jess Larsen (known as Anna Larsen before) played Winter Wind at 8, and recorded the complete Bach WTC 1 & 2 from MEMORY at the age of 12.

[@David-R.]

Ok when I watched her play Op.25 no.2 I was like "yeah very good for her age, but I've seen better" and THEN, as the video progressed I was truly blown away!!! The end result of her training is insane, however, I'm more interested in seeing how she got there, how she trained and WHO WAS her teacher??!! How did they do it?? How do they do it??!

[@welshwizard55]

Fortunately in this Era, we seem to have an abundance of young talent appearing and not just piano. This young lady is great like so many others I've heard.😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

[@andrewst9797]

So many others?

[@nabiiii]

3:41 naaaaaaaah bro how the hell is this even possible? How does she have the patience to practice that much? I couldn't even focus on something for 5 minutes at 6 years old 💀💀💀

[@MishaSkripach]

Kds who have a desire to play music for an hour stretch at age 3 can learn professionally, the others don't need to.

[@AdrianCameron123]

Hope she is discovered well before needing to entire into any international competitions; similar to lang lang and Yuja Wang. Thank you for the discovery, just subscribed to her channel 🙏 she is a tremendous talent with wonderful musicality.

WOW!! Ok, I must live long enough to watch her in when she is an adult!! Cheer up.... I'm happy that you are doing what you are doing!!

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Are you happy that her tiger parents have thrashed, cajoled, and forced her to practice. And what about the 9999 other "progedies" who were similarly thrashed to practice more but didn't make it to You Tube?

[@sacrilegiousboi978]

WAKE UP BABE, NEW PIERGIORGIO VIDEO JUST DROPPED we’re so glad you’re back! yes she absolutely is something special, wishing her all the best for her future and her musical journey i think as musicians we need to repeatedly remind ourselves that even if we weren’t child prodigies, we ARE still worthy of success and to play the music we love and share it with audiences

[@jinseiboy5589]

dang this is entertaining ngl keep it up❤

[@jacquieviegas6082]

I think you’re right, what a talent, technical brilliance, but such musical maturity already. Her teacher is doing a wonderful job with her. I don’t think Yuja Wang was even playing this well at the same age!

[@jchomedog2887]

I love your reactions 😂😂😂 Just because you can play everything doesn’t make you a musician. The ultimate level is playing everything, but also making an impactful musical message to your audience. That requires wisdom and maturity.

[@bboyo8307]

For me its the same wow effect as for alexander malofeevs piano skills as a lil kid. At age of 11 he played 3 whole etudes tableux of rachmaninoff and also some moment musicauxs. I think she could do it aswell tho.. But in my opinion rachs etudes are much more difficult than chopins cause of the different style of deepness. Its subjective but yeah

Indeed a prodigy. Don't know if she is the greatest. There are many great prodigies nowadays, many more than used to be. For the violin, the greatest prodigy now would be Himari Yoshimura.

[@donw3861]

It's more interesting who's instructing her, at least to me. Why not any compositions yet? Mozart was writing at age 6.

[@yethihatun1996]

She play 25,2 better than me😢 and she is only six at that time. How????

[@vrixphillips]

my piano teacher would absolutely complain about her thumb in the Chopin 10.1. Or maybe I'm wrong and it's accented throughout? I can't recall and don't have the score near me. I'll check. But yeah omg I was scared to even attempt Chopin until well after college [not for music tho, I had anxiety and had to leave lol]

[@Pamela-dv7gb]

There is also george harlino that played barakilev islamey at 13 and scarbo at 14.he was older but it’s the same level of prodigy.the most impresive is the fact he played it like Valentina lisita 😭

[@Numberonesorabjifan]

Haochen Zhang has a full op10 At age 11 too.

[@vivacepianostudio]

George Harliono is amazing. There are tons of vids from when he was quite young playing on public pianos. And Amy Kobaishi. Such a tiny little girl playing with such a big beautiful sound. Now there’s a boy named Leander, I’m guessing around age 9. His playing needs some professional attention. But, he learns his pieces by listening to recordings and watching KZbin. No teacher, doesn’t read music and posts a new vid about every other day. I’ve never seen anything like it!! His channel, just a few months old, is called The Dreaming Piano or something like that.

[@Pamela-dv7gb]

[@advikthepianokid4583]

Yay your back🎉🎉 We are so cooked chat 💀

[@tomherman2144]

Chopin Etude, opus 10 #1 always makes me feel my hands aren't big enough--though my hands are actually quite big. Well, that can't be the problem! As for #2, while it might sound easier, I find it is actually much harder than #1, and to play it in tempo, nigh on impossible. That she tosses these off is beyond amazing, beyond figuring.

[@jtrevm]

She needs a resident piano tuner and a new Steinway per year. Carnegie try to book now. While you can. Or....

[@Numberonesorabjifan]

[@ManuelAlmadaPiano]

There’s also tsotne zedginidze, he is also another major prodigy

[@continentzero7572]

OMG, she is incredibly good ! I knew another Chen (An Ke Chen). I don’t think she's the same one, right ? I'm not sure. If she's not An Ke, why isn’t she more famous ? Her velocity indeed reminds me of Yuja, without going over the top like with Lydiian Nadhaswaram. In terms of virtuosity, however, I would still rank Harmony Zhu (already an example at age 7 with her Chopin Fantaisie Impromptu, Op.66) as the undisputed number one. But it seems that Chun Ning Chen is progressing faster with age than other prodigies like Jason Li, Serena Wang, Huang Tian Ge, Hao Wei Ya, or Marc Yu... It seems...

[@rravvia]

People forget about Sgouros. At times he was unsurpassed.

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

Sgouros had thin colorless dry cold piano sound! Sgouros played Brahms piano concerto no 1 brainless bashing like a alwdgehammer! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important lesson is the love of beautiful colorful piano! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Sgouros=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Sgouros=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin Maria Grinberg Murray Perahia Alexei Lubimov Dinu Lipatti Stanislav Igolinsky! More powerful louder than Sgouros=Mikhail Pletnev! The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Beethoven wanted louder instruments piano fortes! Horowitz his technique attack better than Sgouros's technique!!

To be great at anything: Start at age one or two ... work at it for several hours ... every day ... and then work at it for several hours ... every day ... for several decades ... This is how to become one of the best ... as a pianist, violinist, percussionist, etc., or as an illustrator, painter, designer, or as a singer, dancer, researcher, etc., or as an expert in foreign languages or in math, etc. If you do not begin very young, if you do not practice for several hours every day, or if you don't work at it for several decades, you will be mediocre and unable to succeed ...
