      He’s certainly extremely skilled for a child however I think you’re overestimating the difficulty of arabesque a bit.
      I am very impressed by the musicality of it though. Normally when you see children playing difficult pieces they’re more mechanical and stuff.

    As an adult learner, who has been learning for more years than this charming child has been alive. I am dumbstruck how a piano teacher can cultivate this level of ability from an eight year old. Twice I have approached that piece and twice I have put it away until I 'get better'.

      It’s arabesque no 1. It’s not that difficult. Some 8 year olds can play much harder pieces. If he played seriously since 6 years old at least then it’s likely he will play at this level 2 years later. Hardly talent

      @@lightningbolt4419 I would agree that talent is a somewhat subjective term. If you were personally able to master the polyrhythms of Debussy's Arabesque to a similar standard, with just two years of piano lessons, then you are also a very talented person. However, if that is not the case, then you are simply making noise.

    This is amazing.. He's so young and he's already developing a narrative in his playing. The eight notes vs. triplets polyrhtym is exceptionally difficult to master, and he's executing it with such fluency and clarity. Bravo to the young master 👏
