No doubt these kids are very talented. But I cannot believe they prepared this trio sonata in just one day.

"We started study this music one day before the recording
Just for fun in New Year Holiday, so my son studied the music carefully!!!"

Do you?

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?

There are some glitches in the video, but I can see and listen to its end,with a total of 2 min 33 secs.

I am reluctant to believe it, but if you say so, I must accept it is possible.

Seems that the father sits behind, playing one part and this certainly helps and supports the children.

Do you know what Trio sonata is it?

Just that I wish it was possible for me to learn so fast...

I believe it's Boismortier's Sonata in E minor (the presto movement)...At least that's what the description seems to indicate.

I'll bet you do, Lera. Even me could do it, sometimes...

But these kids are just 9 and 5 and we are well over that age, aren't we? This is what makes this performance amazing, IMO.

sorry, 9 and 6...

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... :-)

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.
