(July 9) -- The spy kid plays a mean Beethoven.

Juan Lazaro Sr. and Vicky Palaez are headed to Moscow as part of the extraordinary spy swap between the Russian and U.S. governments. But Juan Lazaro Jr., the couple's 17-year-old son, will, at least for now, be staying behind in New York, where he studies music.

As ABC News reported, the younger Lazaro is a piano prodigy, and a quick check of YouTube turned up some impressive footage of a few of his recent recitals. Here he is at the age of 16, performing Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 3 in C Major, 4th Movement. No word on whether the footage was shot by one of his undercover parents.
