2nd Hungarian Rhapsody - Piano Comedy Duet

[kutchiedinamite]

you guys did great, I'm a big fan of Borge and you did him proud.

[jakiclark]

It gives me hope that teenagers still know who VB is. :)

[maryzsk]

Sexy.



[Otacon144]

Somewhere, Victor is smiling. :)

[kookoomyer]

You guys did a great job with this.. Can't believe how close it looked to Borge! I'm trying to find more comedian/ piano combinations but so far Borge and Tim Minchin take the cake!

[GMElias2863]

Great job guys; I have always wanted to play this with someone myself (might do it this January). Victor Borge is amazing. I am very lucky because he played Happy Birthday--or his rendition of it--in concert for me when I turned 10. The memory has stuck with me ever since. Keep up the great work you two!

[jsutmokha]

I like this part 2:35 - 3:24

[lovemypiano111]

Well, although one of the guys is weaker pianist then another it's still a good effort and it's nice to see Victor Borge genius isn't forgotten. Although they were missing the main ingredient of his charm: he did most of his humor with straight face and delicate nuance, not clowning. That's the trick.

[Tomahawk00984]

I expect simply the place wouldn't let you smack closed the lid to the piano that you didn't do the last switchover with the upper man playing the last two notes before slamming the piano closed...

[princessmolli1]

WELL DONE!! You two are amazing, great to give credit to Borge's creative genius!! Great to see young men doing something that requires much talent!!

[trantricity]

Poor copy of Borge's performance

[koyukionna]

Fantastic!

[thisisspartacus]

That was a great Victor Borge! Nicely done, though I was waiting for that awesome ending where he closes the lid and sit on the piano.

[ellie4keeps]

thats one of the most amazing things ive seen! :D <3 love it!

[worldtravel101]

a very difficult piece to play "normally" let alone this? hahaha

[santiagogarridonov]

Victor Borge do this before

[santiagogarridonov]

Victor Borge do this before

Plagio

[koyukionna]

@santiagogarridonov It says in the description "This routine is an adaption from the Victor Borge rendition" and I'm sure it was announced as such. It's not plagiarism, but a tribute to a great man.

[justlooseit8567]

This is excellent!

Where may I ask did you get the sheet music for this arrangement? My friend and I would like to try it as you have inspired us!

[dwaintrain]

Brilliant!

[Onyourbuzzers]

Excellant Lads, keep up the good work.

The Master would have been proud

[justbecause84]

What a wonderful tribute to a comedy genius...you two did the master proud with your excellent rendition of his comedy masterpiece!

[bouncyballproduction]

that was astonishing. i couldn't have done it better myself. Victor Borge would be proud.

[ItzyBitzyOne]

Amazing! Well done :D

[bellprtrackstar7]

awesome, i was wondering if you guys had music for this or did you figure it out by ear?

[JeffW77]

Wonderful performance. Victor Borge is one of my all-time favorites. Thank you.

[gaWgaMes]

Some parts of this video were better than the original one from Victor Borge. I love It!! n_n I wish I have a friend to do this too!

[Smeagollum86]

this is high school? if so very nice

[PolskiCanuck]

Ha I feel sorry for the people behind the curtain who are going next :D

[leandar]

That is incredible! Bravo! Bravo!!!

[MrJanacek]

Voi Americani siete sempre stati i pagliacci della musica, totalmente privi di serieta', e sempre intenti ad esaltare la mediocrita'.

Pensa a rimovere i commenti fallito

e impara una lingua come si deve, non quel fottuto americano

[drbrandonjoyce]

Non posso crederlo..."sempre intenti ad esaltare la mediocrita"... Of course, everyone: take out a pen and paper and write how many GENRES that "noi Americani" have invented in the last century alone... OKay, now, Italy.... Hmm, interesting comparison... And as far as being "i pagliacci della musica"... as if La Triviata and William Tell are really works of gravity!

And Liszt was the consummate clown...

This is a talent show, for God's sake..

[MrJanacek]

1 Non avete inventato niente, c'e' gia tutto in musica, da Bach a Ravel, avete solo estratto e copiato, COME AL SOLITO

2 Quando parli dell'Italia pulisciti la bocca.

3 Hai ragione, anche i pagliacci hanno una serieta' nel loro mestiere, voi siete squallidi buffoni da 4 soldi

4 potete suonare solo in america.

[drbrandonjoyce]

NEWSFLASH: Music did not end in 1937. I know you probably only think of music as either classical music or barbarism, but have you ever considered that for Americans "forse c'e una serietà ne loro mestiere" that you don't understand? I don't mean MTV— this is equally crappy everywhere— but all the brilliant, innovative musicians I found myself surrounded by in America... Some of whom are on tour in Italy right now. (Cosa volevi dire quando hai detto "potete suonare solo in america?")

[drbrandonjoyce]

I love Italy— and Europe— but when Europeans pick out fun, light-hearted things we do, like this talent show, and try to use them as proof for a groundless, idiotic, Eurocentric snobbery, it drives me crazy.

What if I judged you by Italian television and Berlusconi? But seriously, what has Italy given us in the last seventy years? Let's enlighten each other..

I like this idea that rock, hip-hop, and noise music was already there in Ravel's time ... I'd love to read a book on that one!

[EclecticMuzik88]

I'd love to respond to you in Italian but I haven't practiced it in quite some time. First of all I would like to say that the man who created this comedy sketch, Victor Borge, was Dutch and when he wasn't "fooling around" was a very accomplished pianist.

[andhisband]

@EclecticMuzik88 I don't want to begin another fray, but Victor Borge was Danish, not Dutch.

[EclecticMuzik88]

No worries, thanks for the correction :)

[EclecticMuzik88]

The United States has had many amazing composers such as Alan Hovhaness (Mysterious Mountain), Aaron Copland (Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, Fanfare for the Common Man), George Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue, Porgy and Bess), Leonard Bernstein, Edward MacDowell (To a Wild Rose), Samuel Barber (Adagio for Strings), Phillip Glass, and John Williams.

[EclecticMuzik88]

The U.S. has also inspired great music such as Dvorak's "New World Symphony", Puccini's opera "Girl of the Golden West" and Delius's "Florida Suite" and "Koanga". If you haven't heard of these composers or heard their beautiful music you have been deprived of something wonderful and I feel sorry for you. No, they aren't Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Lizst, or Paganini but that doesn't diminsh the splendor or caliber of their work.

[MrJanacek]

Man , maybe you don t' undestand the question, I am a pianist and I know everythings you have written and more probabily. Yes I know the american's composer, but you are talking in the past, NOW music in u.s.a is that, talent show, exhibitionism, television, interview....this is a shit.

If you want to study good classical music, because you mentioned classical authors, you have to live here in EUROPE.

Don't leave in the past.

[EclecticMuzik88]

Philip Glass and John Williams are contemporary composers

[MrJanacek]

I repeat...you live in the past . Glass was born in 1937 and williams in 1932.... you speak about old school, now, contemporary, you can mention Elfman, Menken and so on but i repeat . IS NOT the question.

[jibjabjessie]

Um, you kind of spelled "full" wrong. Now who's the idiot? :O

[FrankieLarraury]

Wao Bravo guys excelent

[sweetnessglyc]

The finale is yours, right? because Victor Borge finished by banging the piano on his friend's hands...!

GREAT!!! I wish I could play half as good....

[kirid23]

excellent! Very impressive job. :-))

[dialectgirl]

I've seen Victor Borge do it - good job!! :):)

[weirdoguy]

they do it just right =)

[MikeyCanDoIt]

[laeryn31]

Awseome try guys, you got the spirit and the feeling of the original, keep that up.

[hagmartha]

Brava!!!

[mimalicious22]

[erikazilla]

[JMcH]

Wow! Fantastic job! You did Mr. Borge proud!

[skalkmusix]

[craigmcfly]

[chasasum]

great performance guys, you did Borge proud.

[101112q]

good job guys

[Jostanos]

5/5 But not entirely like how Victor Borge did it. ^^

[aryanpianist]

Yes, this is just copy from Victor Borge .

[DerekG8383]

foufz- DUH it isn't plagiarism dummy, it is called a TRIBUTE to a comedy routine. And well executed I might say.

[justonejoey]

wonderful tribute. I'm sure vic would be proud.

[NowYouSeeMeNowUDont]

u were good and all, but u should'v closed the top thing at the end, like borge

[Logan]

I enjoyed that! Well done guys!

[tohotxox]

[ckcat]

[pianolvr09]

doooods the ending by victor borge is the bestt!! you didnt doo ittt :(

but that was still a very good imitation :)

[violinjock09]

that was beautiful!!! genius!!! practically exactly the same as victor borge, amazing.

[Scottondanet]

Hey guys, that was brilliant!

Now write up the score and post it somewhere ;)

[Chrisjuchniewicz]

no shit sherlock

[4ubi]

Victor Borge is dead :(

[4ubi]

this is poor imitation of victor borge |-(

[Jostanos]

Says you! This is a great tribute!

5/5 Congrats guys! ^^ Victor Borge and Sahan Azrune are probaly smiling right now. ^^

[aubreyc2]

I'd like to see you perform with half the skill they have. This was incredible.

[pfloydddd]

You have wonderful taste! It's lovely to know that Victor Borge's genius is still appreciated and that those with talent want to continue his legacy. It takes a lot of talent to imitate a genius. You did it well!

[Boxofscorpions]

Bloody brilliant, i can see why everyone loved it.

[BRocka2006]

HILARIOUS!!!!

You guys performed that to a T!!!! I never laughed so hard in my life!!!! That was musical comedy at its best, man!!! Congrats!!!!!

[Luckyazn0513]

hahaha thats funny

[mickycaul94]

yes PLEASE PLEASE if you have the sheet music please email it to me

[KHSChoirNY]

hahahahahahahahaha good job

[Armoman91]

Nice job by the way. Do u no where i can get the sheet music for this or if you are willing, can you email it to me?

[Mokupo]

Awesome. Seriously.

[shangqinli]

Pity the camera was too far. Anyway, in spite of the these two players' effort, they are no match to Victor Borge. Instead of imitating him, they should try and put a funny act of their own. They play well enough to be able to do it.

[TheColoradoan]

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. :)

[louswire]

great nod to the comedic genius of Victor Borge... and great skill too...

[Domonesium]

That is an amazing interpretation of victor borge's routine.

Brilliant.

[LughGlas85]

I have been a fan of victor borge since the day before I was born.... Let me say that he's most certainly smiling wherever he is, knowing that people are still laughing at his work, and even more so, very proud that there are musicians out there taking his ideas further.... hehe, Gladiators, I salute you.

[GypsyPianist]

You got it!!

[cheeseclo]

amazingly well done. beautiful.

[bemoreunique]

impressive! victor borge makes it look much easier, but victor borge will be victor borge. you guys were very, very, very good.

[norm58]

Very good work young men. I'm very happy to see a new generation appreciating the fantastic musical and comedy work of one of the masters of a past generation. Victor would be standing up and applauding you!

[errold32]

Absolutely fabulous!!! Great job!

[chriso203]

wow that was absolutely fantastic and you did it so well. top marks i hope you won your talent quest lol. is it at all possible to get the music off you? please please let me know. thnx = )

[jsen]

victor borge is better (of course) but an excellent job, takes some real talent to do

[SerenityEmrys]

Did you use a solo piano piece or the duet version? Can you tell me where you got your music? My sister and I want to perform this for her final recital for her high school senior year. Please reply~ The video was awesome! Great job!

[friederichsheim]

jejejejejejeje Fun

[duckmom6]

Well done, guys!

[deeperKen]

Not as "relaxed" as Victor Borge, but still. Well done!!! ;-)

[SaturnProds]

excellent job!!!!

[chazzaderspazza]

fooking awesome :D

[pbaker123]

I did happen to look at the original, and what you guys put together must have been on *heck* of an effort. Well done!

[tiggxtreme]

To even play this song the normal way is amazing, and it must have taken incredible skill and a lot of practice to master Victor Borge's routine. 5 stars.

[MannyCalavera87]

5star

like victor's one!!!!

[Sturmwaffen]

My goodness! What school do/did you go to?

I wish that I knew someone else at my schol who could play the piano so I could do this routine for a talent show. 5 stars.

[bigbrotherjay12588]

actually dungareeboy is right on one part try to make your own personalized performance... nothing feels better than to pull it off...but nicely done on this piece

[unthings]

Excellent job, great for a couple of young people. Who cares if Victor Borge did it.... that's not the point. The guys did a great job. And who doesn't love to see handsome young men playing the piano. Sincerely, A piano teacher.

[Lanny6157]

shut up hoser. That's my bro.

[terracottaheavens]

Koolness! Just as funny as Vic's!

[steinwaygrande1]

A good copy of Victor Borge, but noone will ever be able to match VictorBorge for this incredibly difficult and humourous send up of Liszt`z Hungarian Rhasody

[holamellamopaulo]

crazy...

[luigineo]

ahahaha great! so funny!!

[m3sm3ro]

My God it's funny..but it's not well done..:/..in this piece there are 2 things..the crazy..but also the genius...i think

[aubreyc2]

whoever this is, you're gay. They worked hours on it. I'd like to see you do that.

[floppaboppa]

Very well done indeed.

[leonmontanari]

ha ha ha..

Very Very Good.

[comIcreLiefmAN]

I'm impressed. REALLY impressed. Did you win? ;)

[93892122]
