George’s Chinese …
George’s Chinese first name means “outstanding among the Universe.” His bro’s Chinese first name means “calming and bringing peace to the whole world.” Their parents certainly think big, like many Chinese people when naming their children. However, it sometimes backfire, cos my Chinese first name means so beautiful and clever. LOL!!!

Schnabel said to …
Schnabel said to his students who were nervous about playing in front of a big audience, ” don’t think about yourself; think about the composer at hand, be it mozart, Beethoven, or Listz, and let HIM play.” The pianist is the medium for the music, free of ego. My youngest niece, 19, though not a genius or in George’s league, is able to “compose” her life in a harmonious, enlightening, and joyful way that elicts adoration and love from everybody she meets. Her secret, I think, is the lack of ego.

There is a breed …
There is a breed called the “Music Traffic Wardens.” They go to live concerts and meticulously note down any “infractions,” “inaccuracies,” etc. To them music is all abut notes, rhythm, tempo that are sacrosant. What is the meaning, emotion, underlying truth about the piece they don’t want to know, It is like looking at a Rolls Royce and instead of admiring the beauty of the shape, line, color, engineering, they bitterly resent that the magnificient vehicle is not parked in a dead straight line.

George, I’ve done the calculations. By the year 2164, I will finally be better than you. Just you wait.

Very good. How can …
Very good. How can George and the other kids performing be NORMAL? They are out of this world for sure!!!

Why don’t you get …
Why don’t you get your head out of the score and LISTEN to the musci for Heaven’s sake. It is the TV people cutting bits off. Anyway, in a live performance, it is not supposed to be perfect with ever note, unlike in a recording studio where even the greatest musicians are made to play a few bars over and over again for one whole day to make every note perfect. The musicians hate this soooo much. Geroge has so much charisma and humility and soul. How can you not see his qualities??
August 16th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
con’t: he should …
con’t: he should make it sound as if he could play the right ones if he wanted to.” Even Mahler said more or less the same thing, it is alright to miss some notes. And some great musician hate the recording porcess; they make the musician play over and over again until ALL the notes are correct. Geroge here is playing in a live concert at CARNEGIE and in a live performance, it is ok to play a few wrong notes. People must bear this mind as well as the TV people cutting bits off. Thank you kid.

The Australian …
The Australian pianist, Muriel Cohen, wanted to play for Arthur Rubenstein. She practised very very hard for half a year to prepare. After listening to her, the great man said, “dear girl, very good. But not enough wrong notes.” What he meant was she overstuded the piece and somewhat forgot the essencse and soul of the music. Cohen said it was the most iimportant lesson she learned in her life. Nevile Cardus also said, “the pianist should play the right notes of course. But if he does not…….

Why did you not …
Why did you not apologize to George after he so courteously explained to you that his intro was cut by the TV people. You think a kid good enough to be invitied to play Carnegie Hall would make a fundamental mistake like that?
August 16th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
I cannot believe …
I cannot believe what FranzFerencLiszt said. Is he just mean or what; and do that to a kid who just played Carnegie Hall??? I remember the great British music critic Cardus once said, “I don’t have to bring my score to concerts because I have the score in my head unlike some half-baked critics who have their heads in the score.” George, you are very patient and BIG to explain the TV format to him. I notice he did not have the courtesy to apologize to you!!

I think it is so cute that you wear sneakers. Gosh, you are one fine looking kid. There is shot of a Chinese couple at the beginning of your playing. Are they your “rice boss (i.e. parents?) They look nice too. Best Wishes kiddo!
