Two Girls, a Piano, and..


musical genius!

This is nothing short of an extreme UNDERstatement about the two girls I just seen, or more appropriately put, heard, just minutes ago on youtube. I was browsing for some new piano pieces, when I clicked a link with the picture of a little girl beside a huge piano. Let's face it, who wouldn't want to see or hear a young kid play the piano. If you are a normal and sane person, you would be at least interested when a kid plays the piano because either 1.) it's extremely funny and down-right hilarious when a kid mindlessly hits away at the keys of the piano making the most indescribable of sounds with the hint of innocence and joy in their face (as it seems so bad that it's good^^) or 2.) the simply mind-blowing and breath-taking moment, when a little child not even reaching a double digit age, sits in front of a piano and plays a piece SO friggin good that you might have a good chance of forgetting that the one playing such a piece, is a kid that also likes to play with toys or in the playground. And what's more, these pieces: Gnomenreigen, Solfeggietto, and even personal compositions, are their own band of genius that only a few dare play, and many only dream of playing. This combination of musical genius and irresistible charm is something that's just out of the ordinary..EXTRA-EXTRAORDINARY at that..

And without further a do, though I would have liked to give at least some introduction to the two girls I am talking about, I fear that what I may say might fall short of portraying who they are and what they can do. So why don't I just stop talking, and let their fingers on the piano do it for me..
