Great video! I'd like to mention that MusicalBasic is a much more recognizable name. I didn't realize this is from your channel at first and thought someone copied your thumbnail style!
Lionel, you are an incredible improviser and writer. You should really consider getting into jazz and modern jazz because I think you would become a legend. But at any rate, thanks for providing us with the music you make now!
Re-listening to this, I am blown away at how incredible Lionel's composition skills are!! Magnificent work, magnificent job!! 😊🎉🎉❤❤❤ Mind-blowingly good. Every piece was exceptional but probably because he had 5 hours to work on the last one, it was over-the-top excellent! Huge kudos again. ❤❤❤
I always knew who I was growing up. Without question I knew. I was a jazz musician that wore a cowboy hat and boots when I went to college. I was laughed at. My full ride scholarship told me different. What Lionel does makes it okay to be different. He's not just a musical genius, he has heart and soul.
Kid, you are an amazing musician with extravagant talent. Leave Beethoven alone. I want you writing music for yourself. There are very few musicians that can even play Beethoven, much less change his music. I would pay hundreds of dollars to see you in concert playing your own music.
It is absolutely stunning how Lionel can rewrite Beethoven in such short time! Unbelievable talent of composition! 👍👍👍! My favorites are 10 min and 5 hrs songs! ❤❤❤
What does "re-writing Beethoven" even mean?? This kid takes an idea or two that Beethoven used (as the basis for a highly-structured, carefully-worked-out musical/emotional journey of expectation and fulfillment, dramatic contrast and witty surprise)... and *he* uses them as the basis for a tedious, repetitious, harmonically directionless, overwrought, and bombastic improvisation! Forgive me for not bowing before his greatness! I'm not saying he *couldn't* do something interesting and new, and maybe even worthwhile... IF he had a little more knowledge of form, a little more experience as a composer, and a lot more discipline... and if he took the *time* necessary to compose something meaningful! Not even Beethoven could have come up with anything of real value in 10 minutes or even 5 hours! It's easy to see that imposing these arbitrary time restrictions is actually a kind of cop-out -- a way to justify the superficiality of the stuff he comes up with! Beethoven lived 200 years ago, and he is still revered for the contribution he made to humanity through his art, despite (or perhaps because of) the tragic circumstances of his life. Does anyone really think that in 200 years -- or even 20 years -- anyone will care what this kid was doing on RU-vid one afternoon?! Puh-leeeze!!
