This is so relatable (as a pianist of over 10 years), especially the book closing on you (which is part of the reason I rush to memorise everything), playing poorly when somebody is watching, and dirty keyboard. I was personally offended at the Waltz in A Minor being called boring, I worked so hard on that one, as it was the first piece I learned out of my own volition and entirely without help.
It's literally painful when no one hears to you when you play the piano. I say that because this happens to me sometimes. The fact that I practiced the piece for months and I'm really happy to present it to my family and they're just on their phones...🥲🤧💀and they just say:"yeah really well played "even though they didn't hear to me as I expected when I played for them.😂😂😂😫
Same here. Does anyone play a musical instrument in your family? In mine noone does so they are just kind of too musically naive to appreciate live music haha
@@affable.pebble my brother play's the violin but we both started two years ago. He started playing the violin and I started playing the piano. My mom played an instrument but she stopped playing. My dad had an instrument but he didn't play it he just like it. Yeah,my parents get sometimes annoyed when I play the piano but I keep playing. My mother says that I should play for her and I do it but sometimes I have the feeling that she doesn't listen to me( I mean what I play).😂🥲 it's kinda sad but I doesn't bother me that much. I play for myself and I think this is what matters but I also play for my family. It's just that they sometimes don't listen to what I play and this makes me sad.😕😂
I guess as a middling amateur (of which I am definitely one) the truth is no one _really_ wants to hear you play. How many people (especially in the internet age with master performances on tap) listen to an amateur struggle through one of the Chopin or Beethoven warhorses, despite the him/her having spent months or years preparing it for just such an occasion? So the question is why do it at all? For me I enjoy practicing and just 'performing' for myself, and when I do have an audience, even of one, I try to make sure it's a piece I know very well and not at all lengthy, and with some luck can play through with perhaps a couple of spots of beauty that just might make it worth hearing.
Exactly the same situation with singer Jo Stafford and Paul Weston, when they did the act of "Jonathan and Darlene Edwards"----they had to *practice* doing everything wrong to make it both plausible and funny as possible.
Honestly ⁉️‼️ The piano must have been invented in heaven and flown down by cherubims. Google Horowitz playing Chopin's Polonaise in A flat, in his 80s. Also Rubenstein and lately, that kid Cole Lam who plays anything by ear. .
I could listen to this man all day. Just discovered him on Monday 11th April 2022 and I have tuned in every day since. Love his sense of humour, he is wonderful, so entertaining. He is taking the snobbery and stuffiness out of classical music, not unlike Andre Rieu xxx Sorry if my spelling is wrong xxx
"Plays wrong when someone is looking". What about "Plays wrong when your crush who has the greatest voice ever is singing Ave Maria in front of everyone after playing it correctly in all rehearsals and then Covid happens and you lose contact". Based on real story from two days before Christmas 2019.
the most impressive part about this video is how he managed to completely jumble up fur elise and then transition back to playing it perfectly as if nothing happened or missing a beat
1:33 as a drumline member in a marching band, I have the opposite problem. The director warms up the rest of the band forever, meanwhile were just chilling over in the back, "reviewing" our music and definitely not just looking at memes on our phones.
But thank you very much for writing the name of the piece...it was familiar to hear it, and did not know what it is, and it is soooo beautiful. I am going to learn that boring piece :)
0:14 THIS LITERALLY happened to me 😂 I was playing some hard pieces/songs on the keyboard during music club and a girl asked me after that "can you play [insert pop song]?" "You only play classical music" 😂 I mean I'm not that annoyed by it or frustrated really. I just found it pretty funny they asked that after I played lol
When you’re sight reading and someone starts singing along. When everyone is unimpressed by the Rachmaninov Prelude you spent months perfecting and instead just wants you to play Hedwig’s Theme or Für Elise. BACK PAIN Can never have nails longer than stubs. People are only impressed if you play fast songs. People play random notes on the piano while you play. All the viruses I got on my family computer back in the day while trying to download free sheet music. Awkward page turns. When you’re playing as a kid and your mom asks you to use the soft pedal. I do love my Hanon warmups though (:
To add to yours: When your mom points out every single mistake while sight reading a new piece or when you’re working on a section and your mom randomly comes in trying to explain what you’re doing, but the wrong way. I totally understand the frustration where everyone wants fast pieces. I prefer slower pieces with lots of musicality personally to play. OR when you’re trying to get a tempo down and someone asks you to turn off the metronome. 😑 And I do love my Hanon Warmups as well.
@@lisasommerlad1337 yeap... Im brazilian and almost never use dictionary so... i knew i tas going to be a shame but I was lazy lol thanks for the correction
@@gabriel.brasileiro English is hard enough as a mother tongue! you did very well. and you are welcome, anytime : ) thank God that love and music are internatiional languages! xx
Lyrics: "I will now show to you what I have done I composed a song just 'cos it's fun. A melody rising soft like the Sun that will scorch you so you better... RUN!" (death metal part would be next)
I used to have a you tube video saved that had Condoleezza Rice sitting at the piano in a frilly dress, probably as a teenager, and her younger brother (at least he looked younger) standing beside the piano in a suit and bowtie turning the pages of the music. I love that clip. Condi and I are the same age so I get tickled that we both went through that Southern rite of passage that every girl takes piano lessons. You can find her on you tube playing the piano as an adult and she is awesome. At some point in her life she was going to be a concert pianist.
Everybody: damn those pages don't turn by themselves Vintheiro: practices piano playing while staring into a camera😂 Thank you for inspiring me for my own Piano-RU-vid Channel 😍 (and for playing backwards and upside down😉)
Omg i want to learn it too xd My dad says i should learn songs that will "entertain ppl"😞 It makes me kinda sad. I always reply - i dont care what they think, i like it which he taught me
Let me add these to your list 🙂 - unlike all of the other instruments you can't bring a piano with you. So most of the time you play alone. Alone. Yes. - sheet music sliding down to the fingers like butter knifes while playing. - glissendos do hurt - the middle pedal is linked to 0 function on electric keyboards but still it's in our foot. Why the middle pedal ? - to give a check with RU-vid analytics to its own piano videos and see that people still get bored really quick and only 10% remained 'til the end. - When you're about to play in front of the audience that piece you rehearsed for three months and in that particular day, you realize one or two sheets are missing. Obviously, most of the time they are the first and the last one. - people don't really care of what you are playing until you do Nyan cat or Mario Bros that is, for them, a strong proof of your skills. - food and other stuff falling down in between the keys - when playing in an ensemble then finally 99% of people did not hear any piano. - that good friend who pretends he can read the music and offers himself to turn the pages while I'm playing. Then you realize he doesn't turn any page, just being passive and distracted. - when you improvise something cool and then realize you don't know how to improvise and you did shit. - People who instantly become a pinao teacher and show you how you should play the "fur Elise" theme. - to realize after years of practice that playing the piano makes you more attractive is a scam. Yes so cool 😂😂😂
3:20 I'll have two Beethoven's No. 9, Dvorak's No. 9 large, Tchaikovsky's No. 6 with extra violins, Beethoven's No. 7, two Haydn's No. 45, one with Farewell and a large Clair De Lune.
These are all so true. At one point, "between opportunities", I took a part-time job at a Kinko's, and I leveraged all of their equipment: hauled in all of my music books, chopped off the spines, and re-bound them with a spiral coil binding. NOW those blasted books lay flat!
Right on the cover of the Dover _Franz Liszt Complete Hungarian Rhapsodies for Solo Piano_ it says, "Lay Flat Sewn-Binding." Yeah, sure. Tell me another one.
Too funny, but true 🤣. Another one is when you're on the piano playing a song and a kid comes up and starts putting their fingers on the keys playing some awful noise 🙉
There's a lot of truth in this humor. One I could add, "Never play just after a blind kid at a piano recital". You just can't beat a blind kid. Just like old axiom for actors, "Never work with children or animals." But as far as talentless piano players go, I appreciate ALL who make any effort whatsoever on the instrument.
How ironic. Immediately after wagging his finger for not playing Star Wars, RU-vid ran a Disney+ ad. Vinheteiro can not have Disney in his video unless Disney inserts it involuntarily.
I found out I have awful stage fright during college. Went to play for my church, really easy going, played through it pretty well before church, go to start, hands start shaking and I fuck up SO BADLY.
Atenção, meu professor de teclado sempre falou... Errar é amigo do artista, pois demonstra ao público que estamos tocando de verdade e não em playback!
It me. Once I notice a piece of dust or a hair on the keyboard, I can concentrate on nothing else until it's gone. Luckily I can usually find some gap in the rhythm to flick it off without interrupting the flow.
@@MarcusVinicius-tm9ox um incentivo pra turma estudar inglês? Eu aprendi lendo dicionário, escutando música com a letra em mãos e jogando videogame, mas tive muitos efeitos colaterais, como vício na cultura anticristã e depressiva do rock, e tbm dos jogos cheios de enredos, idéias e filosofias pagãs (leia-se heresias, ou melhor, idéias satânicas disfarçadas e às vezes não tão disfarçadas assim). Eu iria sugerir um curso de inglês mais em conta, mas é difícil fugir da cultura mundana. Infelizmente não conheço pra indicar uma escola de inglês que tenha princípios cristãos..
