4:35 This is absolutely incredible. Many people don’t know how hard this truly is. There are rarely any pianists who can play the third movement of moonlight sonata without messing up or doing unexpected slow downs. The fact that he is playing that so well with no mistakes and at this part specifically doing it with both hands and improvising is outstanding.

uhh, def not improvisation

Remember, to be a pianist, you don't have to exactly replicate what someone else has done. To be a pianist, you have to play something according to your own style, because though the fact is true that you are not bethoveen, this fact is also true that beethoveen is not you

Fur Elise and moonlight sonata are my two absolute favorite pieces of classical music and I absolutely love this take on sonata. The way I see it is fur Elise was a love letter to the person he adored and moonlight sonata was his response to the rejection of his letter and it's so beautiful to think about while listening to this (beautiful in a sad way I should say.)
