An amazing morning to rediscover this amazing artist. I remember watching his videos when I was in school, enjoying his interpolation of popular video game ragtime. The last thing I remember hearing is that he was left comatose after a car crash, with poor outlook for his future. Turns out he's still alive and fairly well, which is a huge relief: [LINK] If you haven't; treat yourself, and just listen through a mix of his sight-read performances on the internet. He's a rare gem and a treat to the ears. [LINK] [VIDEO] [LINK] [LINK]

This reminds me of this excellent video: [VIDEO] Can we get this guy to play the Super Mario World ending theme with the notation from TFA?

Akshually... According to Wikipédia FR, the French equivalent of Sight Reading is "Lecture à vue" [1]. Notes: - I'm French; - I learnt to play the piano as a teenager, and I'm trying to get back to it again as at 45+; - I too discovered the "sight reading" term online, but that was long ago (as I recall, through a video of an adult piano player doing "live sight-reading" versions of songs he didn't know beforehand, such as the Mario theme [2]; ... and YET neither have I ever heard of nor used "Lecture à vue" (that I remember of). I too would use "apprendre le solfège" (EN: learn solfège) when saying that I'm learning to read the notes on sheet music while playing at the same time.
