    This guy has time beyond his years. Being so relaxed, leaving notes hanging around just this little bit longer, this little bit later, gorgious. The piece is easy to play, but not easy to make it the right balance between sterile and hokum. For my taste, he nails it.

      @@pixelwoody6493 it's hard to explain. The notes resonate more in your soul. I guess when someone plays it without passion, they play it like a robot. They play it exactly as the sheet music says. Nothing more, nothing less. They don't add their own flavor to the piece. When you play with passion, you can instantly tell by the way their notes resonate.
