Hope he doesn't mind that I share it, haha. It's not quite up to tempo here.

Oh wow, I forgot about that one. I hated that piece.

Gonna have to start calling you Maestro. God I love Seinfeld.

Gotta admit, it's better than Bob Cobb.

That last piece is quite good. I'm no aficionado on classical either so I couldn't hear anything wrong with it. The piece itself seemed a bit busy though.

In the Brahms there are a few mistakes at the end, haha. It sounds "busy" because that is how piano music from the Romantic period tended to be. It was the style - all the composers wanted to show off their virtuoso skills. Liszt especially, and Brahms. This is the first page of the Brahms Rhapsody in B Minor that is posted above:

See, this is why I play by ear. Just looking at that makes me tired.

I wish I was better at playing by ear, but alas, I am a slave to sheet music and have been for like 15 years now.

If I get stuck, I'll do the tab thing. After that it's to the sheet, if it's available. It takes some dedication to tackle something of that magnitude though, and kudos to ZK for that.

He will be 25 soon and has been playing since age 4. All the stuff he plays now is pretty standard repertoire for someone at his level of playing and experience. It takes a lot of time to get to that point.

Most of them are memorized too.

25 ey? Just a young buckaroo. I was still trying to figure out Malmsteen at that age, but was learning to appreciate classical just the same. Segovia came into play around then for me too. I can appreciate the discipline, and it's really something you have to stick with otherwise you'll lose your edge. I speak from personal experience. I can't remember any of the Segovia stuff.
