KevinPoerwo: On the wrong... O, sorry, i mean: I'm on the
great side of youtube for this one time!
KevinPoerwo: @Skaihe Yep!
KevinPoerwo: It's played great, but i think it would be
better if it would be played slowly, still
great!
joyceannellis: That's funny, I was so taken by the music I
never notice the hands being other than
presenting beautiful talent. I never noticed
anything unattractive about them.
joyceannellis: This piece is used in day care centers during
nap time. It's very relaxing and inspiration
to children. Especially when it's played so well
as I've just heard.
nakedmudskipper1: I find hands rather unattractive, but it is
the plethora of skills we can use them for that
is completely fascinating...
ilseklavier: Well played, wonderful! I like it. Thank you for
your video!
smilyface8D: Thanku so much 4 creating this clip : ) i've got
an exam this morning and i'm playing this as
one of my exam peices :D thanku 4 the
inspiration <3
thebugsbunnygirl: Dude u need to do a tutorial
baghend: @Interessant11 Oh yes- you are so right.
i guess I meant beautiful it all its meaning- a
child's hands drawing with a crayon, or an
elderly arthritic grandmother soothing her
fretful grandbaby, or this incredible
performance-
Now, feet are another thing altogether! There's
probably a good reason that-past the age of
childhood, we cover them up. unless you're
into that sort of thing that is.

Thanks
baghend: Lovely. beautiful timeless music.

Can there be anything more incredibly
beautiful than human hands?
