I can believe it. It's not a terribly complex piece, and they don't really do a whole lot with it. I don't think it would be impossible for them to learn the notes in one day, even at that age. What happened at the end of the video, though? Was it poor editting, or did my computer just decide it didn't like the video?
looks belivble to me.
as from my own experiance I can lern some stuff in less then a day.
IT seems that a father is playing with the kids in the vedeo, so someone elce or recording is covering piano part.
I wanted to give a try at that sonata. But it does not seem to be the same Boismortier E minor sonata (Number 6, Op. VII Paris 1725)and there is no presto movement in this one.
I had not seen the description before, sorry...
In case somebody is interested in Boismortier's music, many pieces are downloadable for free from this link:
Apart from a possible exageration from the father regarding the "only one day" statement, it's quite possible that it happened, if we take in consideration that they played "almost" together, and also played "almost" all the written notes. They also showed "almost" no dynamics, and the quality of tone seemed to be typical of small children of that age.
Though I would be proud of my children if it were they playing... :-)
I can learn music in a day and i am only in 7th grade. I at first played the clarinet and switched to the flute a week after i told her i was and i got first chair right offf the bat so i can believe it.
Yeah it's completely believable - they're Asian! I've studied in Japan, China, and Taiwan and it's their culture and the way people in Asia are brought up that makes their musicians so technically advanced in playing music at such an early age.
I agree with the person above me. I'm Korean so I know their general values, morals, and culture. In Korea/China/Japan parents tend to "choose" an instrument/career/etc etc etc for their children, so it's not surprising to see a little asian kid playing a really technically advanced piece or just 'play' well (well excluding musicality since MOST young people tend to a=only focus on notes/rhythms. Although I would still find this adorable, cute, and amazing...
(Do not take this offensively. This is NOT a racial comment, it is just a general statement about typical culture/values that I have experienced.)
