Nice Piano. This is something that Syl may like to learn someday. I did and loved it.
She is soooooooooooo adorable.
Grandpa can hardly wait to hear her play. Love grandpa and steppy.

Whose piano was she playing? Bet she loved the sounds she was making. Maybe someday she'll play as good as her mother did.

The piano is Lauren's, I took the picture and video at work this afternoon. Grandma, one of these days I'll get my old piano back and hopefully Sylvie will still enjoy it!

sylvie captures my imagination right from the start, exhibiting great maturity for such a young player, with her patient, melodic, spacious, yet rhythmic aesthetic through 00:07. and just when you thought this was going to be a lazy stroll through the forest on a balmy afternoon, an aggressive but not abrasive sound mass at 00:09 both surprises and delights the ear. at 00:12 the syl lets us know that she is not ashamed to carry the baton of the self-aggrandizing artist passed down through the generations, originating with none other than ludwig van beethoven (the original rock star) and passing through legends such as miles davis and ozzy. in this fan's humble opinion, as well as obviously the adoring groupie whose audio is magically captured (though off screen), the torch is in good hands today. what we witness at 00:17 is a not-so-subtle display and rare combination of technical wizardry, dynamic ebullience, harmonic complexity and "in the pocket" sleight of hand that not only leaves one with mouth (and ear) agape, but also with urine-inducing anxiety of what is yet to come out of this incredibly adorable wunderkind.

It'll be my greatest pleasure to release the piano to you, and maybe one day I'll get to see Sylvie's little fingers go rolling over those keys the same way as yours did. I can just picture her.

I don't know who "tal" is, but whoever she/he is, they have a way with words! Nothing I could dream up would even come close!
