Beethoven: *writes 2nd movement of Moonlight Sonata* Every pianist ever: "I'm gonna pretend like I didn't see that."

Replace “level” with “day” and you got yourself a simply piano ad

I used to be a fan but after watching this masterpiece I’m a whole air conditioner now

Let’s just take a moment to be appreciative of the pianist who probably took months trying to compose and learn this piece for us🎵

Me: Looks at my piano... My piano: Don’t even think about it

You forgot level 6: Knows how to play the 2nd movement

Second movement: Now you know the struggles of being the middle child.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that the added modifications is necessary because it kind of ruins the whole vibe of the song

I think that no matter how "noob" you are, what matters is how much sentiment and emotion you play with. it can turn any piece, even the simplest, into the most beautiful

If that's mediocre, my skill level is equal to donkey stool.

I love about 95% of the stuff you do, but I had a hard time with this one. Moonlight is one of only a few songs that carries with it so much gravitas that remixing or rearranging it takes away rather than adds to how epic the song is. I realize that this is a highly personal take. Also, keep doing what you're doing, my dude. Love your work.

That one kid after 2 days of simply piano : 3:05

Lol imagine existing this post was made by the 2nd movement

Level 6: Suddenly transitioning into Still D.R.E.

i legit thought it was gonna turn into Torrent Etude at 3:05, those four notes got me. Would've been sick though

This is one of my favorites ever. I listened to this as loud as my headphones would go on the pier at Santa Monica under a full moon on the ferris wheel and it was amazing. A night I'll never forget. It's not always the music that people turn to but it can make a memory that last forever.

Hidden trick : makes your pianos hot, and your finger will move better

I bet this guy’s neighbours frickin love him

That transition to the 3rd movement was fantastic. Bravo!

Names his channel as "Musical *Basics* " also him: *Proceeds to complete rip the piano*

6 yr old me thinking I was a pro playing “Mary had a little lamb”:

Nobody: Moonlight sonota 2nd movement: “I can stand so incredibly still, that I become invisible to the human eye.”

the transition is terrific and the mvt 3 is insane!

"I bought all the piano, i have to use all the piano"

Should have called the video “I’m better than you”

Mediocre: plays at 50% tempo Me: if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly

There isnt much in life that impress me as much as great piano artist. What a beautiful display of talent and hard work congrats !

I can tell how much work you put into your videos, please keep it up

I just recognized that in every video with "levels" at the highest one he is basically just flexing Edit: I don't mean that he doesn't "deserve" it or sth., I just noticed

The modified movement sounds really nice, but the actual one sounds so much more sombre as a result of its destitute, isolated feeling encapsulated by playing barely any notes. Really good video, keep it up!

My man.... you're playing is beautiful. Really makes me regret not taking piano lessons seriously as a child.

I find it unfathomable that some can play piano so beautifully. How is this even possible? Absolutely mezmerizing!

Hope you guys enjoy my latest video, "5 levels of Moonlight Sonata!" Remember to like ❤️ this video and also comment: what piece of music do you want to see 5 levels analysis for?

I can’t even play the wrong notes that fast

2 years since you posted this and I am just now seeing this, you sir just made a subscriber out of me, very cool

your actually crazy wid it I just cant get bored with your vids its impossible

I hope that piano is at least 18 years old...

3:03 Who was expecting him to play Torrent? Lol

Jesus, the epic version is extremely well done, chapeau!

Im speechless.... Masterpiece !

Me: I want to learn how to play piano. Level 5 exist: Me: guitar looks cool.

0:06 me chatting in the game normally 2:43 *Me when I have a online argument*

Its as if the different styles of music can take you different places without ever leaving. Great job.

and the end is like "mic drop" respect!

Imagine him playing the game Piano Tiles. He would eat every piece in there.

3:19 this moment literally shed a tear of how much talent that was set into this

This is easily my favorite RU-vid channel

Simply magnificent. The transition was truly Epic. Kudos!

whats the level where you can actually play the whole piece correctly, a full tempo, and not modified?

0:12: what they teach us in math class 2:49: what is expected on the test

BRAVO!

3rd movement is just a storm of melody, like a Greek masterpiece...you just react to.

3:19 Just a personal time stamp because I can’t get over how beautiful that part is,

Doctor: I'm sorry, but you have only 15 minutes left to live. If there is anything you want to do before you die, now is the time Patient: I want to listen to Moonlight Sonata one last time Doctor: I'm sorry, but that's 18 minutes Grim Reaper: Bro I can wait 3 more minutes

This makes me want to run a marathon because of how EPIC it is.

My favorite!! Never past level one on this one. Beautifully played!!

2nd movement: am I a joke to you?

Oml, Very speechless after seeing this video 😮 It probably took you your whole life for obtaining this level of piano playing skills

Nice well done. Serious skill there!

If you listen carefully you can hear Beethoven turning in his grave.

You can also call level 5 “adding wankery”

seeing people with such great talent inspires me to be better

Love both these moonlight movements so I'm liking!

Man, your girlfriend is so lucky

“I PAID FOR ALL THE KEYS IM GONNA USE ALL OF THE KEYS!”

Absolutely beautiful

At some point I tuned out the sounds and just focused on this man’s flying hands.

Level 5 "I have amazing skills, but I can't understand the music feeling"

Noob: easiest level. Me: surely there must be a easier way..

Love your videos. Beautiful music and mesmorizing visuals. 🤯🤘🔝

I felt the added parts for "intensity" didnt flow well with the peice. Amazing talent tho!

Me:*Clickes on video* Video:*Shows level 1* Also me:"So they are putting the hardest at the start"

What?! I have no words for the epicness of the epic version. And no, “expert” doesn’t do it justice. Definitely EPIC.

Love this piece.

MusicalBasics: Small amounts of rubato to add to the feeling of somberness. Me: Ah. Yes. Of course. Rubenmato. The subtle art of Rubenmatoing your piece for maximum rubenmatonessessess. MusicalBasics: Setup for transition to third movement. Me: Ah. How could I have forgotten? You must move in the third dimension whilst skipping the second in order to maximize your transitionified transition while balancing the rubenmattenmonessnessnessnessnessing from before. MusicalBasics: Release of pedal abruptly shifts the atmosphere Me: Ah. Yes. Just like the bicycle. When your release the pedal the atomenespherium shifts from an atenespherium with a pedal to an atmospherium without it. And now since we are in the third dimension, the pedal has extra effect. You see MusicalBacics, you yet again forgot to add the rubenmatteonessness to your already rubenmattedified rubenmato machine. This, in turn, maximizes your rubenmattenonessoringnessnessnessnessing. Also me: Which one is C again? Edit: This comment had gone beyond it's designated lifespan, obviously. I am going to test a theory that if I edit the comment, then reply to a couple of people, it will get a couple more likes. I will give you the results of this test if it is successful lol.

I think that nobody can imagine how hard is to play this song, just if you're a pianist you will understand how hard is to play this song..you need weeks and hours per day to achieve that experience.

this is beautiful

you are so cool you didn't miss a single one 🤩😍😍

When teacher says "time is up" Me: level 5

Level 6: actually playing the 2nd movement before the 3rd

That sounds so cool. Great job man

Wow! That was incredible!!!!

3:38: Franz Liszt enters the chat

This just makes me question even more how a deaf guy could write this

:0 Whoa. Pure awesome.

Lit for sure!! Man! Just, wow!! The practice I know that goes into playing like this, it's astounding. Incredible. Amazing. Inspiring. 👏👏👏👏👏

Me:watches video RU-vid:so you have chosen....SIMPLY PIANO

Level 5 adds a lot of unnecessary and supposedly epic parts into an already very well written piece. Adding little things for flavour is definitely ok to do but this is pretty much changing the entire feeling of the piece . Might as well have done a dubstep version. The level 4 actually felt better in my opinion.

you've played it so well omg

I’m In that “noob” category and it blows my mind the way some people can move their fingers so smoothly over so many keys

Movement 2: am I a joke to the pianist community? XD Overall, great video! Seems like you had fun with the expert/epic one!

Special thanks to my Patreons who support this channel! www.patreon.com/musicalbasics

Amazing!

Just wow.

No One: *Second movement* : No one Pays Attention to me

Honestly I felt like going down an octave on every 3rd note on the left hand for movement 1 didn’t really capture the emotion that’s supposed to be there, it felt more like it was being done to show off skill and less actually adding to the song, still great job though

You're a mad man and I love it

Dude, I just love the level 5, those transitions are lit and you added a new feeling for this already awesome masterpiece. Gotta say, you're a really nice pianist. Thanks for inspiring me to start playing piano.

Level 6: Add's parts from torrent and CHopin and Beethoven appear in the video themselves to talk about you. Level 7: Yu're the official pianist of the LCC.
