There were left hand parts there where her hand isn't big enough so there is EXTRA hand movement an adult wouldn't need. Yet, it was (for what I know of classical piano) flawless.
I was most impressed by her timing. All that contrast motion yet every note was right where it needed to be.
Impressive!!!
