Video: 6 year old pianist on the Tonight Show

I find a couple of things interesting about this clip (beyond the fact that Evan is surprisingly articulate in the face of all the attention). His technique still has a lot of "flop" in it - there is a fair amount of wasted motion as he plays. There are some NICE musical aspects of his playing - a particular nice crescendo at one point. The pice he "wrote" is also surprising - it has a definite form to it.

Enjoy!
