This is the first piano video I watched when I was 11, and I decided that piano was my passion. Now I'm 18, and never ever I have stopped of playing, thank you for spreading music 🎶
***** I don't think you understand Cow Norris' comment. They are right; it is not sight reading if he arranged the piece and has performed it before. That's not saying that it's bad music (it's amazing), it's simply stating a fact. Sight reading is playing a piece of music as soon as you see it for the first ever time with no practising. Also, you're wrong; Fireplex did say that he's sight reading the music. I think you need to calm down.
My whole childhood i adored the piano, playing it some back then at my aunts house, I've always loved the sound of the grand piano so much... But I've never owned one myself, yet. Once I get one, im going to play like that no matter how long it takes. This I know
Great job Kyle, it looks awesome. I followed you for about 4 years now, but last year I got distracted by other things. Now I see this I can see you made a big progression. Congratulations!
Guys I think the reason he's playing faster than his original video is because the actual soundtrack is kind of fast so maybe he's trying to match the speed with the soundtrack
I recently started playing the piano and i can't even imagine being able to play half as well as this. I think it took me several years of derping on the computer keyboard before I was able to type without having, to look at the keys and be able to press the right key reliably at a decent pace. I would imagine that the piano would be similar, but it still boggles my mind to be able to be that precise, that quickly.
at 05:02 the girl turned to many pages so he missed a part of the song to play, that´s why the song is 12:30 minuets instead of 14:42 minuets, and the part he forgot to play was my favorite part :(
I was looking the piano sheet music and couldn't find this part.. that's why I couldn't! Thanks I thought that my sheet music was different but it's not
thats fucked up. i thought they read and play like you type on a pc keyboard, like you know where the keys are and dont have to look down while you're reading/writing/copying
The Butcher It's exactly like that actually. But in a concert you don't want to make mistakes, so you type the same piece over and over again until the movements are stuck in muscle memory. From that point onward, it's just keeping the text as a guide so you don't switch things around.
Yeah. It isn't exactly like a keyboard for typing. For one, if you mess up, there is no backspace... people are already murmuring in the audience... (or so it seems) And secondly instead of the roughly 33-46 keys used for everyday typing being pressed one at a time in a sequence, there is the possibility to have up to 88 options with multiple combinations at once from both hands at the same time, AND.... you also need to control the volume with how hard you press the key. Oh and don't forget you need to use your feet on the peddles to either emphasize the notes you are about to play, or hold the sounds of the keys you just pressed, or potentially control the volume yet another way... petals are tricky things... But... all of this can't sound mechanical and repetitive, it has to flow and make sense. It has to have feeling. So yes... memorization is absolutely necessary when performing something. You essentially practice something until you do not need to think to play it. You work on a piece phrase by phrase and get it perfect. After you learn how the piece is supposed to sound, the sheet music is a last resort, for if you somehow draw a blank. Pianos are immensely difficult to truly master.
