SCARE all your friends with this easy trick! 😱 

👉 READ THIS BEFORE CORRECTING ME: (First, I want to apologize to anyone who just wanted to learn a cute piano riff. I didn't anticipate the disruption these nerds are causing. The fact that you're still here tells me you're a special person. As such, I want to let you know about my "Learn Piano in 5 Days" course, which you can get here: bit.ly/3YKle7w ) Dear music theory nerds, Yes, I know it's traditionally played A-G-A (white-white-white) at the beginning. But, I can't find any scholarly argument for why that's the ONLY right way, and the burden of proof is on you to show I'm wrong. (You also have the burden of convincing me the argument is worth having. So far, you're doing a piss-poor job of that.) You guys all play the chord progression Dm A7 Dm. I have no problem with that. I, however, am playing A A7 Dm. I have no problem with that either. I have a master's degree in piano, which means I know more than almost all of you. A few other points I want to make: 👉 Everyone who insists the G is unambiguously written as a natural (white key) is lying. 👉 There's no surviving manuscript of this piece in J.S. Bach's handwriting, so we don't even know what he wrote. 👉 C.P.E. Bach said it's cool to play mordents non-diatonically (black key), and he's the Son of God. 👉 The oldest manuscript we have (written out by Johannes Ringk, NOT Bach) doesn't have a natural sign and is thus ambiguous. 👉 Contrary to what one commenter said, the trill later on in the piece doesn't have a flat sign (this was presented as proof Bach would have written a sharp sign if he'd wanted one). Nice try, though. Bet you didn't think I'd check. 👉 I don't care how it was played in Disney's Fantasia. 👉 I don't care how your grandfather played it. 👉 I'm American and this is how we roll. 👉 You can all suck it. Any new comments on this topic will be deleted (unless you have something truly new and interesting to offer, which would SHOCK me). If anyone wants to disagree with me, please don't do it on my video. Instead, what you should do is make your own response video. I had a conversation with a fellow expert-level piano player about this video and the ensuing controversy. Listen to the podcast or watch it here on RU-vid. The video is called "Piano NERDS, Bach & Wrong Notes": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ccW_ZKvzhow.html

He blue lobstered us

I jumped💀

as soon as I heard the 1st 6 notes i started sobbing and hiding under my bed 😭 :(

bro literally blue lobstered us without showing the blue lobster 💀

I really thought this was gonna be a rickroll

“Naw that ain’t scary at al-“ “AHHH-“

just as he played the whole thing I heard a gunshot that shook my entire house

As soon as the first note started, I jump off the balcony in fear

The sad thing is, I learned this piece on the piano like 5 years ago, and now whenever I play it, it just feels wrong. It was also my mom's favorite piece

If this scares your friends,get new friends

This is the first time I’ve been blue lobstered in about a year.

the urge to play this in front of my friends wait I don't have friends..

SHIVER ME TIMBERS 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

The g is natural :)

i don't have any friends to scare

Normal people :- nice Car enthusiast :- initial D 🗿🍷

next time michael koman plays: E - D - E - D for Fur Elise

Bruh when I heard the first two notes I thought it was Welcome To The Black Parade on a higher transpose

definition of saying “boo” to scare someone

I heard that first note and thought "god damnit not again".

I LOVE Toccata and Fugue in D minor! This is the first full song I learned on the piano and practiced every day. It is such an incredible piece.

This just sounds like the music bitlife plays when you die

Another creepy piano motif is a descending Phrygian Bebop scale

Pipe organ version and this is also a electric piano Those notes are: A, A flat, A, G, F, E, D, C sharp & D

I already learnt the full song on piano lol 💀

HE PLAYED VAMP ANTHEM HE PLAYED WLR VAMP ANTHEM 🧛🏿

Legend has it, he's now explaining this to our grandchildren.

I GOT LOB-ROLLED

So the trick with playing the piano, is to press the right keys!

Me: WHO DIED IN BITLIFE!? Also me: Attends their funeral to sage the heck out of the coffin so I don't die

I thought I was going to get Rick rolled for a second

POV: You played BitLife and decided to walk in the middle of the street-

Good to see that RU-vid shorts users are finding out what a piano is! If you spend enough time on it, it’s such a fun thing to play on!

am I the only one who heard carti adlibs after he switched the sound to organ

My timbers r shivering

LOL! My dog was snoring next to me but jumped up right after you switched to the organ!!

Never heard the major version 😳

Finally one where they don’t number the keys💀

Adding chords with left hand will sound much scarier and better

bro left me flabbergasted😳💀💀

Then their friends say “play the rest of it” then you’ll be the scared one cause… you can’t. lol

I may be wrong but I remember Toccata and Fugue in D Minor starting A-G-A, not A-G#-A but still very good!

That old tune from old Indian horror movies

As a 1700s kid I prefer this nostalgia was amazing

That was the perfect set up for a blue lobster

We had a showpiece that was based off of this Bach piece. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS FORGET ABOUT MARCHING BAND FOR ONE MINUTE AND THEN-

I love how everyone felt the need to correct him 😂

First three notes, and i already knew what's going to happen 💀

BitLife moment

top five scariest jumpscares : #1

Toccata and fugue in dm by bach if you're curious. Pro tip: the fugue is better than the toccata, it begins ~2:40 into the peice.

Shiver Me timbers 💀🥶

Step 1: Get friends to scare

spooky season is upon us! *it's December.*

bro i swear to god i was tryna find this tune for my entire life and when i searched up for it i found this video thx a lot

Scare your friends with this easy trick: “plays Feux Follet”

Bro I jumped out of my chair when I hear that thing 💀💀💀💀

I'm not surprised that your masters degree in piano did not teach you how to execute baroque mordants

Bro just played the start of vamp anthem 🧛🏾‍♂️

They'd be scared (crying laughing scaryness) bc im so bad 😭😭

OMG I did it!! I finally used the "Do Not Recommend Channel" button!! Thanks!

"Girls, boys, whatever" 👁️👄👁️

This tutorial is way more scary 😢

When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city ♫

literally thought I was going to get rickrolled

other people: shiver me timbers me: bach toccata & fugue in d minor 💀

Gots me shaking in myyyyyy ✨baby seal leather boots✨

Me at the start: blue lobster

I heard a G note, than a F#. I was not frightened but transformed 👦👦👦🏻

Anyone remember Kyoya Gaen from Buddyfight? This plays whenever he shows up

Doesn't explain the trick too easily😮

my timbers shivered, my boots shook lord

I EXPECTED A RICKROLL

When he did the first three keys. Me: JURASSIC PARK👁👄👁

BRO I HAD MY EARBUDS IN AND WHEN THAT KNOCKING SOUND CAME ON, I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS KNOCKING ON MY WINDOW!!😭

Learning sheet music is such an important skill to have

A master’s degree in piano? Well done, that’s a great accomplishment. I would hope to get to that level of piano. I’m playing minute waltz for my senior HS recital, been playing for 13 years. Wouldn’t it be scarier down 1 or 2 octaves or play micheal Myers theme?

I did not expect that 😂

Instructions unclear: i have summoned shrek and he wants my onions given to gim in the next ten days

Perfect, piece mastered! *Now I just need to make some friends.*

-realizes you dont know the music- ... I AM INVINCEABBLE

Did we just got blue lobstered?

I’m buckling in my boots 💀

Ima try to do this on violin even though I know I can’t :)

That piece has such a powerful emotional effect. It thrilled me even the first time I heard it as a kid.

The real fear is after this part 💀

💀OH SHIVER ME TIMBERS BRUV💀

This was the best comment section I have read in a while thank you so much

I just have to say… I find it so odd how difficult the full thing is on piano…. Because I’m an organist and it’s not all that difficult… but piano arrangements are always like…. There is so much going on!!! P.S. for anyone curious… there is a Halloween concert does a mashup of this and phantom of the opera on piano, theater organ and drums…. And it’s insane how well it all blends…

VAMP ANTHEM VAMP ANTHEM

OMG GUYS I LITERRALLY PEED MY PANTS SO SCARY

Toccata and Fugue in Dm. Classic. To be honest, I saw you start with the a an my first thought was that you were immediately going to go straight to the d# for a Michael Myers theme tutorial...a-d#-d#-a-d#-a#-d#...
