People are always talking about the amazing accomplishments Mozart was able to achieve in his early childhood, but I bet you that even Mozart was not composing and performing his own pieces by the age of one. (Insert Ian relating little-known fact about Mozart composing most of "The Magic Flute" by the time he was nine months old.) Not to mention the added feat of climbing the piano bench while Mama wasn't looking.
Once he hits his stride musically, Max is ready to begin working on the showmanship aspect of his performance. Here he is standing dramatically and pounding the piano, Elton John Style.
And then, at the end, you have to take it down a notch, and arrive at a decorous yet thrilling climax.

1. That totally cracked me up/made my day.
2.Who gave him that shirt? I love that shirt!
Also, if you look closely at the sheet music, you will see he is playing a Robert Burns songs for all you Scottish people out there.
Your mom gave him that shirt, and it is awfully cute. Max may have the lyrics to a Robert Burns song in front of him, but I am pretty sure that he was actually playing a song of his own unique composition.
Many people do not understand his rather modern interpretations of the Scottish classics.
Also, you and I need new icons, as our pictures with Max are becoming outdated. He looks like such a little boy now...
It's ok Max... nobody understands my music either
