He looks about 11 or 12! Wow I am very impressed! Lot of talent in that kid. He was playing a lot of notes at an amazing speed. I'm sure he put in a ton of practice into that piece.

if i didn't see his face and just listened to his music i would say he is about 30 because it sounds really good. it must take a lot of practice to get that good. The thing that impresses me the most about the performance is his tone throughout the whole piece. it is very clear and even when he plays the high notes it is still a great sound.

I think he is 13 years old. I think the most impressive part of the performance was that he memorized the whole thing.

I think that the performer is about 9 or 10 yrs old. His age and personality impresses me most. Most kids can't play that well and play in front of a huge audience like that. His notation and dynamics were very impressive. I think he earned the right to be such a show off(:

I think the clarinetist is about 11. The thing that impressed me most about his performance is that he had no music and the music sounded really difficult.

Wow! He looks about 12 to me! The talent he has at his age is the most impressive part of the performance. It's amazing how fast his fingers can move and with such accuracy. The way he was able to play so fast and stay with the piano player was also very impressive. The song was very long, yet he never showed any signs of getting tired. Lastly, it was so impressive how he could keep such composure and be an amazing performer at such a young age in front of a ton of people.

I think he is like around our age, 13-15. By judging, how tall and his face. The thing that impressed me the most was how fast he can play those notes. I won't be able to that on my own clarinet (even if i tried) :< Also, how he is able to rememberized that whole entire song. I would of forgotten the whole ending to it, because I'll be working on the first half still. >.<

I am guessing that this kid is about 9 years old and to already be that good he must have been playing when he was like 3 or 4! The most impressive part of the solo was about from 4:20-4:50 he plays so many scales, notes, and octives its amazing! This kid has major talent!!

I'm going to guess that he is about 12 years old or older. What impress me about this performance is that he was able to have no music in front of him and that I think he was improvising also. Lastly, I agree that he is a showoff in the first part, but the second part sounds like a part that the clarinets can play.

The kid looks about 8-12. But then I began to question myself about how old this kid really was because he was playing things that were complicated for a kid of that age. So he's just a musical genius. The thing that impressed me the most was that he knew his music very well (memorized, and that was complicated), and he stayed on tempo most of the time (was there a conductor?), and at actual music that he was playing for a kid at that age, i mean most of it was scales but still, I don't even know my scales that well.

I think that kid is around 12 years old. What impresses me the most about the performance is that he's really good at improvising (if that's what he's doing) and also he is not afraid to play by himself for more than 3 minutes. What I hate is that he moves too much...

i'mmmm guessing ... 10!
looks young and talented
great suit and tie and looks
like he's around the height.

what impresses me about the
performance is how his fingers
fly up and down the scales
one after another. so amazing.
and how clean you can hear
each and every, single,
individual note. (:

The thing that makes this performance impressive is that he hardly breathes during all of that fingering.

I think he is either 14 or 15. He really impressed me with the speed he was moving his fingers with and that he seemed to memorize everything the entire time. Being 14 or 15 and playing an instrument that well was also impressive. The dancing he did was a little much but it impressed me!

I say he is about 12 years old. Two things impressed me. One his fingerings are real fast and second he got to those really high notes that is hard to get to. He is a big show off!!!

my guess is eleven or twelve. the fact that he could play so many different notes so fast, and so clearly (without squeaks or pressing the wrong key) impressed me the most.

I would say he is about 9 or 10. The thing that most impressed me was just his age. To be that young and be able to do the things he was doing. People could work their whole life on an instrument and not become as good as he was; and he managed to get there when he was 10.

I think i remember something about how it's easier to learn things when you're younger (must've learned about it too late because I can't remember all that well!)
But the kid looked to be between about 9 and 11, and what impressed me was that he was so calm in front of such a big crowd, unlike us playing in a gym or auditorium, he was playing in front of hundreds of people at such a young age and still be calm.

I think he's about 12 or 11 years old. It impresses me how well he can play with the older people and he can reach the level that they are on or maybe beond the level they are on. Also I do think that he is the big shot on this performance.

he looks like he's no older than 12! i could never do that. It impressed me how fast he moved his fingers. I also thought it was cool that he could play all that without looking at a piece of music.

I think that he is about 11 years old. He used a variety of different notes and played them all at a pretty fast speed. He must practice a lot, or just be naturally music gifted.

He is very good for such a young boy. Although i would like to say that he is thirty, he appears to be only thirteen.
Playing the clarinet, it is obvious to me what is most impressive about his performance. He plays so many notes in such little time. His fingers are just flying by so fast!
Amongst other things, it also impresses me that he has a great tone, has memorized the music perfectly, and can reach some notes that i only wish i could be able to, especially with that amount of speed.
If he actually is only thirteen years old, he is truly gifted and a child prodigy.

He looks to be about ten or eleven. What amazes me the most is how he can play so fast and his tone is still really, really good. Plus he either had the entire piece memorized, or he was improvising, which is impressive too.
