- This is an extra video I made because I did not post anything by Beethoven yet and I really like Beethoven and I am getting a teacher soon and want to keep a record of how I used to play. It is very fun for me to play this song but very hard work. I learned this song 3 years ago by listening to it and watching videos of people playing it and I wanted to see if I could still play it today. I know it is not really good right now but I do not know how to make it better so I am going to start having lessons with a teacher who will teach me what I need to do to play songs like this better and more properly like a master. This video is for anyone who is interested in seeing how I play it now and can compare it later when I am much better. Maybe it will take me a very long time to get good enough to play it very well.
Later this week I will make a video of the second and third movements too.

Leander, your capacity to critique your own performance hints at your untapped capacity. I expect your teacher will need to be extraordinary. You should enroll at Curtis or Juilliard. (Your talent is rare.)
Your pronunciation of French and German names and titles is so impeccable, that I suspect that there are more languages than just English spoken in your home. Congratulations on getting a teacher.
I love the way you are constantly striving to improve. This performance brought me much joy. I'm sure Beethoven would approve.

Thank you for telling me that I can say the words right
Leander, you have such a fantastic talent - you deserve to attend a Conservatory of Music and be taught by the best teachers so I'm happy you have found someone to help you refine your playing and help you develop to your highest potential. Sending love and best wishes to you. P.S. you also deserve a beautiful grand piano!
Leander deserves to become one of the major pianists of the 21st century. With lots of good professional learning and structured practice and hard work he does not have a limit to what he can achieve. You are right!
Leander, you are playing these long, complex pieces, in multiple genres, by memory, with expression and obvious joy! Amazing, and so enjoyable for us who get to enjoy your music!
Reading your words...you are so humble, Leander. You played this difficult piece beautifully!!!!!!! It is wonderful that you are getting a teacher and wanting to continue to grow and learn and become as polished as possible. You are more than well on your way. You are extremely dedicated and talented and will go far, I'm sure. Your performances are genius!!!!!!! You bring so much joy to all of us, and we love your smiles too.
This young man deserves a scholarship. I would gladly contribute.
Beethoven penned this masterpiece to his "Immortal Beloved" --- As he learned
he was becoming deaf -- Very well constructed using your agility , Sweetheart ❤
You learned this by listening to it and watching others play? Please don't tell me you don't read music!! I'm sure you do! Well let me say, I'm glad you are aware of your playing on this and other classical pieces. One thing I always felt since I started watching your videos is that you (musically) probably 'learned to run before you could walk', (as my mother used to say to me) and you can most certainly 'run' that's for sure!! You would benefit greatly from having a teacher who will teach you to 'walk' You have a very raw natural gift and I'm sure a teacher would find it very easy work with you and take your playing to a whole new amazing level. At the moment your strengths are the Joplin rags and all those other similar fun styles of music which I love. Classical is not quite your strength (yet) but I'm sure with good guidance, it will be one of your many strengths. As far as I can see you have a great musical mind, a great ear for music, you have strong piano fingers and can effortlessly play things that many experienced players like myself still struggle to play. you have great co-ordination and above all you obviously have the passion for music. I really hope you continue making these videos!!
Please never stop playing Leander you brighten my days…smiles & well wishes.
With every release, whether classical, ragtime or otherwise, you consistently amaze me with your technical brilliance, Leander! Absolutely astounding! Bravo, young Sir!
There is no technical brlliance at all. There is brilliance of talent and a technical disaster. And the more you praise this, the harder wil be for this amazing talent to start learning properly.
Magnificent!!! 👋👋👋👋👋 You have the will, the enthusiasm, the dexterity and the ear to take your talent wherever you wish. Please continue to share your journey, thank you for sharing
👑✨⭐🌟Leander🌟⭐✨👑Wow what a unique way of playing only you could pull this off. Just incredible effort and performance. 🎹🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎹🏆🏅
You deserve a lot more subscribers Leander. I am enjoying the wide variety of music that you have been having fun with. Thanks again.
Leander, you are amazing. Thanks for another fantastic video. ❤
The classics played in rag time style. Well done, thank you. Ignore the critics, keep that piano as is
Bravo Leander, bravo! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Leander, I'm blown away by your so precocious talent! You're tackling incredibly difficult piano pieces. Bravo!
Holy Cow!! Leander!! You’ve been hiding this all this time? Just kidding; some things need a time to “rest.” In the future you will be thanking your younger self for making this record of your progress.
The ENERGY you put into this piece! Yes your skills will certainly improve but never lose this power that you have: not just in loudness or speed, but, but; what do I want to say? The power in gentleness, the power of showing people what you really feel.
I’m just one of many of your well wishers, and you have many. BUT the thing that is important is the music itself. Well, you already know that. Oh my, I hope the teacher can keep up with you.
I have a trumpet teacher . He really makes me work hard, and I love it. Even when he gives me scales and arpeggios to practice, I love it. The sounds are so beautiful, I want to hug them, somehow. When I open my case and see my trumpet, it’s so beautiful, there’s a little jump inside me. When I wake up in the morning, my first thought is of my trumpet lying in its case waiting for me. My second though is, “Rats, it’s too early to play, wake everybody up.” But I can hold it. And I do. That’s what music will do to you. But you already know that Leander.
You'll be famous - for sure!
Because it's obvious you love what you do.
I can't believe you can play this. Such a difficult piece. It's considered diploma level here. Probably my favourite Beethoven piece. Wonderful performance. I truly am amazed
I am really glad that you like this song.
Is the first movement your favorite or another one?
@@Leander-piano I’ve not really played the others much. I was learning it for a diploma but got bored of playing it rather quickly hehe. I think it’s the second that has a melody at parts that I find really beautiful. There are parts of the third I like too. I don’t remember them though
@@dylan-kerry This would be a fail for a diploma.
@@MishaSkripach Maybe but he is at least 5 years younger than me so that would give him a huge head start on it.
@@dylan-kerry Ragtime looking at sheet music??? That is against the very meaning of rag?
I’m so glad you like Beethoven! I do too. The Pathetique is very difficult and I admire you for taking on the challenge. I also love Beethoven’s Moonlight sonata and I can play the first two movements but not the third one. Maybe sometime you could learn the third movement (or the whole thing). I would love to hear you play it. Have fun with your new teacher!
I can play the 3 movements of the Moonlight Sonata but it is like how this video is so maybe it is not good enough.
But maybe I will make a video of it.
@@Leander-piano Moonlight Sonata is my favorite Beethoven piece and I also learned to play this piece by myself when I was much younger, although I learned from sheet music. Thank you for including this video in your channel. 🙂🙂
A huge amount of talent packed into a small space. 😄
Bravo! Leander, you are so blest to have this fantastic talent and we are all so blest to see and hear you perform, Thank you for sharing your musical abilities with us. ❤
*With your wonderful smile and your unique talent, you brighten the day of music lovers all across the world dear, precious Leander! . . .* 💓🙏
Queria ter um filho assim.......❤❤❤❤
Leander, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your beautiful playing. I am so amazed at how you bring so much joy to a piece of music. THANK YOU> THANK YOU!!!!
I think this is brilliantly played. Well done. 👍👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful as always sweet boy your such an inspiration to me ❤ God richly bless you in all you do 🙏👼
You are extraordinarily gifted. The ability to play complex pieces by ear, from memory, puts you in a special realm. It’s exciting to hear you will soon have a teacher to help you on your musical journey! I hope the teacher can keep up with you 😉. Best wishes!
Bravo! Very good, Leander.
Dear Leander,you are absolutely awesome. I enjoyed watch you play these pieces so much❤I’m also amazed you learn how to play by listening and watching others performers .you deserve a good teacher,and I’m sure with teacher’s help you’ll make progressive improvements in the near future.Good luck to you with all my heart ❤❤
Great job Leander! Not an easy piece but you did an excellent job. Honestly, I could listen to you play all day!
Bravo, Leander!
Bravo! 🤗🤗🤗
Sprachlos! Einfach sprachlos! Leander du bist so ein Genie. Aber warum auf diesem „schrecklichen“ Klavier? Starte ein Fond für ein Klavier oder Flügel und ein Stipendium. junge, du bist Gold wert!❤️👏❤️👏❤️👏
Thank you again for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
Enjoy Richter playing by memory all his life before hearing damage ua-cam.com/video/bd7AUHmaJg0/v-deo.html
Não tem como não deixar um like para você. Garoto. ❤❤❤
You amaze me with your ability.
@jodydesalvo needs to see this young man perform!
So much fun to watch your hands move, especially 2:11 to 2:27. ❤😊
Love whatever you play, just amazing what talent you have and can't wait to see you develop further! Am going away for a week so will be anxious to see what you post in that time. Cheers!
Stunning work, bravo!
Well done 👏 🎉🎉🎉🎉 bravo 👏 🙌
You say you learned this three years ago... so you were what, about seven years old?
I'm glad to hear you are getting a teacher, I hope they will be a good steward of your amazing potential and I can't wait to see what they help you achieve. I would not be surprised to see you at Juilliard by the time you're a teenager.
And recording yourself to measure your progress is a great idea BTW.
I also hope that Julliard will be the place eventually.
Leander, thanks for the front row seat to your concert. I enjoyed watching you play as much as listening to your performance. I see your use of the pedal, which isn't necessary with many of the other piano pieces that you play. Good job.
Be Well.
Congratulations indeed! That was amazing I love Beethoven. I started learning this sonata in my late teens, now I am re learning it it is challenging. You play it so well. Bravo!
Beethoven wrote 32 sonatas so if you love Beethoven you have a life time to enjoy of his great sonatas. Best of luck with you teaching. All the best!
You never cease to amaze us all with your talents. That is a fantastic rendition of a very difficult piece. You have an impressive collection of shirts as well 😊.
Bless you Leander. I´m very excited that you are going to get a teacher! I hope that are a very good one for you.
I suggest to listen to some recordings of this piece by awesome pianists like Claudio Arrau or Daniel Barenboim, you will get the idea of how to play it then! It's all on UA-cam.
The problem is that I can hear that they are better but I don't know how to sound like them.
So that is why i will get a teacher.
@@Leander-piano They are not "better".
You are at a different stage in your skills development.
You sound wonderful.
@@Leander-piano Listen to Mark Hambourg play the Pathetique, blows the other two out of the water respectfully.
When I was your age I was taking the piano apart to get the middle keys to work. Father saw this and got a new piano.
That performance was impressive! Congratulations on getting a teacher soon; I think you will love it. Since you have such a good ear, it would make sense to get your piano tuned before your lessons start. That way your teacher's piano and your piano will sound the same. Good luck!
Leander, have you considered doing a livestream, answering questions and playing? I bet people would send donations.
No, don't. 😟
@@andrewst9797agree with you completely.
Very good rough draft of this very complex piece! And by ear no less! You're amazing, not sure your age, but most of us can't play chop sticks too well at your young age. I've been dreaming of playing Pathetique since high school. With training and a better instrument you will do that masterpiece justice! Thanks for sharing!👍
Magnifique!
One question, HOW.
You need a teacher that understands the EAR with the NOTES and all the nuances. I had such a teacher in harp. She was a genius and worked both sides....EAR work, then add the notes. Oh boy! You are a wild tiger!! Tell your mom......and be patient with yourself.
WOW. :)
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Wonderful🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤a bit slower n the grave
i would like to meet that virtuoso little guy 🤠
Ludwig van Leander just like Beethoven you need a new piano. you have worn the poor thing out.
Une version tonic 😂
Please get this boy a decent piano
Everything you play is wonderful to me but every pianist and musician needs a teacher to help them improve as they grow their talent.
Do you go to public or private school or are you home schooled? That’s important too.
You are right.
I am going to get a teacher who will help me
Leander, you need to look more closely at the flats and sharps written in the score, especially in the slow parts. This is a very good first effort. Keep it up
Does he HAVE a score to look at? I don't think so. He says he learned it from listening, and watching UA-cam videos.
@DavidBoycePiano he talked recently about looking at scores
@@marksmith3947Now I am looking at scores but for this song I never looked at a score.
But when I have the teacher and he tells me to look at a score I will
@Leander-piano I'm excited to hear that you are getting a teacher. Go get 'em!
Der hat nicht kapiert, was er da spielt, will nur ins Bild 😢
Gutste Frau Krieg, "der" hat sogar einen Namen, und Sie wissen gar nichts über ihn. Alles was Sie können, ist, ein Kind sinnlos zu beleidigen.
Leanders Mutter hat in einem Kommentar geschrieben, dass er sich Debussys "Claire de Lune" durch "herumspielen" am Klavier selbst beigebracht hat, noch bevor er sprechen konnte.
Leander spricht übrigens außer Englisch noch Deutsch, Französisch und Russisch. An einem verzögerten Spracherwerb kann es demnach nicht liegen. Gerade lernt er chinesische Schriftzeichen...
Leander wird bald einen Klavierlehrer haben - weil er das möchte. Vielleich wäre es besser gewesen, früher damit anzufangen, vielleicht wäre er aber noch nicht dafür bereit gewesen.
Sicher hat er sich ein paar suboptimale Angewohnheiten angeeignet, die ein Lehrer ausmerzen muss. Er hat gesagt, dass er einen Lehrer haben möchte um insbesondere klassische Stücke richtig zu lernen. Das ist der optimale Ansatz, denn wenn er lernen will, wird er sich auch mit Tonleitern quälen wenn das sein muss
No. This should not be encouraged. This will scare away any teacher.
You are a Geneous, Good luck with the teachers. I was playing at age 2.5 as a prodigy but never anything like this and I did as you did I listened to records and Played stuff my Grandparents loved and liked my mom was the one who would buy records for me to listen to the rest was like watching Lawrence Welk and then trying to play songs from his shows. One time to learn But you are a Brilliant little man. I am so impressed with your abilities and not yet reading a note. I still can not read notes. Teachers gave up on me. Hope that doesn't happen to you. I think if you believe in reincarnation you must have been a famous composer when you were in a previous life. How to know so much music at such a young age. It's unbelievable. But I am enjoying your channel. This is amazing and makes me laugh at my own skills nothing to compare with you as you are way above my skills. 🎹🎹🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎹🎹🎼🎼☃☃🌿🌿🎿🎿🏂🏂🤩🤩⛷⛷⛷⛷
I agree with @Palletjack-sv7re about your piano. Yes, that one D-key is stuck, but every artist has a trademark. Yours is that D-key. It could make you even more famous than you already are.
