Thirteen? Thirteen years old? That would still be impressive if he was thirty years old. The young man is clearly a major talent.

He sounds like this after playing for only 3 years?????? Dang, I've been playing for 15 years and I can count the number of times I've sounded like this on one hand...if you take away the thumb and 2 fingers... :)

@BleachGeassbandiegrl Same! I was born in 1992, actually started playing clarinet when I was about 8. I didn't touch this piece till high school. Now that I'm a college freshman I'm still not up to par with Narek. Isn't it scary how someone of the same age and experience can surpass you in so many ways?
