I think I have watched that video clip five or six times by now! Somehow it gives me hope about the future of classical music and I am also reminded of how one generation can be vastly different from the next. I have nothing against video games; my kids have grown up with them and become astonishingly dexterous in the process of playing them. Only my daughter, though, traded them for reading books, around 13 or 14 y.o. All have played musical instruments but not like this. Rachel is playing an incredibly difficult piece with remarkable ease and aplomb.
