What an amazing clip; he hums/sings along at the same rate of speed as the song as well. On top of that, he has perfect pitch... and the clip is completely attuned as well. Unfortunately, the framerate doesn't do it justice.

The piece was composed by Bach, right? Sounds like a prelude but my guess would otherwise be that it is a partia (partita?). Its a little bit strange that it is a clip of him practicing the song, rather than a performance, but nonetheless a good find.

depends on whose ranking system you use... in the system where i was brought up; he would be considered rank 7 or rank 8, and rank 4 is about average in that system.
