How old is he, and what sorts of things is he playing?
The most recent video is of him playing portions of Mozart's Concerto in
D Minor accompanied by his teacher on a second piano. I bookmarked the
link so I can find it again. I'll play it while you all are here.
I will be one of the last to comment, because even though I
will likely appreciate the music and the effort, one has to
bear in mind that I spent thirty years or more professionally
evaluating students and young professionals for scholarships.
And when I say "good," that's the equivalent of your standard
audience jumping on the chair and shouting.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02
Title: Chocolate Fudge Truffles (Uncooked - Never Grainy)
Categories: Candies, Christmas
Yield: 1 batch
4 oz Semisweet chocolate
-- chopped in small pieces
6 tb Unsalted butter
4 tb Heavy cream
3 1/2 c Sifted confectioners' sugar
-- (1 lb.)
1 tb Pure vanilla, cognac, or
-cognac vanilla
Combine chocolate and cream in a heavy bowl over simmering water. Beat
until chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and add to the confectioners' sugar in a mixer or
processor. Add vanilla; mix thoroughly.
Spoon into a buttered 8" square pan. Refrigerate until it is set, at
least several hours or overnight. Cut into squares. Store in a
tight tin box and keep refrigerated.
Yield: About 1 1/4 pounds.
To make truffles: When the ganache has cooled enough to handle, form
the mixture with 2 teaspoons or your fingers into small balls. Roll
in cocoa or finely ground pecans. Store in refrigerator.
To the wise: By adding extra heavy cream, this recipe also makes a
quick cake frosting.
Glenn writes: "This ganache can be formed into truffles and rolled in
cocoa, or cooled in a buttered 8" pan, then cut into squares. Easy
does it! But the best part - it is very good. Actually, it is as
good as the quality chocolate, cream and butter you use."

Christmas'" in "The (Louisville, KY) Courier-Journal." Pg. C6. Typed
