Dancing to the piano notes
I was fortunate enough to witness the piano performance of the famous Kim Min-Jae, who is renowned to be the youngest winner of the Tchaikovsky competition. He was known to be a fast learner and also an excellent player with efficient and graceful fingers. His nickname after the competition became 'Feather Fingers', due to the delicate movements he made while playing the piano.
My experience of seeing him perform live could not be described in words. It was inexplicable. The intensity, the emotion and the precision with which he played each and every piece were beyond imagination. The 2 hours of the show went by in the blink of an eye. All the members of the audience applauded him with praises. It truly was a mesmerizing show.

Musical performance, step in the musical process during which musical ideas are realized and transmitted to a listener. In Western music, performance is most commonly viewed as an interpretive art, though it is not always merely that. Performers to some degree determine aspects of any music they play. Issues of tempo, phrasing, dynamics, and, in some types of music, pitches and instrumentation are subject to a performer’s discretion.
