[TchaikovskyGirl]

Wow! Very cool!

[Flianzd]

[laurastamps]

THANK YOU... my kids didn't believe me this was the Tetris music... Game Boy...PUHLEEZE... get yourselves an NES and learn to play REAL games... LOL...

[TheLordstrider]

wait a sec this is the Nut cracker music from cheikovsky not tetris music

[nubeoxinh]

@TheLordstrider it's tchaikovsky....

[Pianopenguinz3]

@TheLordstrider It was composed by tchaikovsky (not cheikovsky), yet it was used on the American version of the NES game Tetris.

[hagglefaen]

I have a 36-page version of that song on piano sheets xD. just search for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy in google and enter the third link (which is a yahoo answer page).

[hagglefaen]

can you upload t he sheets? :) that would be great

[Xenar17]

You play quite well sir :D

[rox5tsuken]

guys please, stop it: yes this song was in Tetris!!! god, he plays this epic song in piano and its just awesome!! but aaall what you comment is "ow, wasn't it in Tetris?" "oooow this song was in the NES version!!" "ey look at me!! i discover something in amazing! did you guys know this song was in Tetris!?! D'OH"

Thomasdecarlo, congratulaion, you played it very well, +1

[sugaryuna]

oh man! i thought this was going to be the song on the original game boy when the score board comes up and you get to enter in your name. if any one knows where i can find that video or download it as a ring tone i'd greatly appreciate it. ^_^

[kepein4ever]

i remember when i was six (not so long ago 8 years ;P) i played it all the time on nin 64

i searched a whole day to find THIS track

[ohmigoshness1]

wow . i'm really looking forward to play this for my senior year recital do you have any sheet music?

[figaro589]

this song was in the NES version of tetris for those who don't know. I've seen a lot of comments saying stuff like "this was used in tetris?" so, I'm just confirming that it is in fact a tetris song.

[SanguinaryStrife]

Yeah, weren't there 9 tracks on the Tetris game for NES?

[PowerRauchi]

Would looove to have a gameboy version with this "Type D" melody ^^

[eyekeeyoulots]

lol. dance of the sugar plum faries from the nutcracker in tetris?? lol. now that i think about its true.lol. thats funny

[Leandrasophie]

[montaz]

Play the OTHER song, please. Not song one, or two, but the third song...the best song.

[Dream00catcher]

aber wirklich toll gespielt

[Tetrisnintendo121]

das ist peinlich... barbie oderr so...

[cfalken]

[wilko21]

i have finished the game known as tetris many MANY times and have never heard this song play.

Although i always played the gameboy version

[Ryuuzaki145]

[jonetherland]

[CarolinaRobles]

You´re awesome!

[Candygirl224]

[Anonymous71688]

[0xJIaM0LLIe4cka]

Nussknacker

[nanarsx]

would you do a tutorial for this song?

[cky12qxz]

I never knew Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy was on Tetris o.O

[Wuzzup222]

Very nice, excellent job on this man. Sad that hardly anyone knows this was on Tetris. People are so stupid when it comes to old games!

[DJxCarte]

See, this is the Tetris theme that stuck most in my head.  It kinda ruined it when I found out that it was from a Suite....

[op10no4]

Excellent ; )

[wolfblytzx]

=] good job man!

[electronicjo1]

hah, great cinematography

[thomasderoo0cocc]

Great

[Electrophill]

This is it!

I've been trying to find the name to this melody for months! I'd hum it and everyone keeps saying "nope, never on Tetris. BS!! Here it is.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

5 billion stars.

[fonkyhomosapiens]

its tchaikovsky

casse noisette

[aleksecond]

Shchelkunchik........dance of sugar fairy....

[alienhunter96]

very well done man

[onlydlonly420]

any sheet music for this song? the sheet music i found is in D minor

[phongbong]

WOW! about half way through I relized this is shot really well! Good shit!

[Emersonmusica]

Perfeito!

[piano4soul]

i was wondering if you can teach us how to play this song :) thnx !

[crazyjosiah]

this was the Tetris that was on Super Nintendo.

i remember when i was a toddler i used to watch my dad play that game and it had this song.

[n3m351s]

this song no is tetris . . . XD

[mast3rpwn3r]

this was theme A in the USA version of the original NES Tertis

[siriusgamer]

i hear that enough around christmas time X_x

[laziruss]

How did you film both hands? Put the camera in your mouth? I used to do that ha

[thomasdecarlo]

Almost! If I can recall, I put the camera on a closed tripod, strapped it to myself, and sat in a swivel chair so that I could twist and "pan" back and forth. It was definitely the hardest shot to do, not to mention trying to play piano while looking through a camera LCD.

[Lugia21]

Amazing. I'm wondering how many people you had there with the cameras. By the looks of it, it seams you had a few cameras that were just zoomed in so they would not be visible, am I wrong?

[thomasdecarlo]

Yes, you are wrong. I produced the entire project by myself.

[Lugia21]

Well, I admire the work you have. Did you put the camara in a single position and played the all the song then later changed the position of the camera to a different angle and replayed the entire song?

[carpenoctem66]

Amazing Playing! I wish I could read sheet music!

[jokeistman]

how the fuck did you do that shit with the camera angels you must have 6 cameras or something?

[Jazzatic2]

OH Im sorry after reading some comments i now understand what you mean by the (OTHER) tetris

[Jazzatic2]

yes, now this sounds correct, Ive heard other people play and it sounds off key... great job, however this is the DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY!!!!!

[meashamboi]

thats good like but were the fucks tetris

[BariTenoreDram]

i can't inderstand how you play it! you always make mistake with your hands and push wrong notes...but the sound it's perfect

[BunnyByMe]

i think it's a little off synch, he's pressing the right notes it's just the sound is off

[lipshultz]

For anyone saying that this isn't the original theme, you are wrong. I have the original tetris game for the NES. It is actually pretty fun. And this is the song that plays at the main screen of the game. Enough said.

[Kingonads]

I will back him up on this one. Cause I have it too. I used to like that better than the original Tetris song.

[alexnobody1]

No one remembers this as a Tetris song because it was only in one version. All the rest had the usual one.

[olivierfromricochet]

wth this isn't tetris but SUGAR PLUM!

[mcbru222]

what the hell? u want someone to make a detailed video showing you exactly what keys to hit.....? are you serious? even if you can't read music it's not impossible to decipher it if you take your time. i'm sure there are "learn to read music" tutorials all over the internet.

[FattyB03]

you should make a how to video like marioiswicked said i really want to learn this song as well

[Marioiswicked]

u shud make a how to vid on this i need it badly

[mcbru222]

maybe get the sheet music for it...

[FattyB03]

maybe we can't all read sheet music for it!!!!!

[pantslesswrock]

Firstly, an excellent rendition. Secondly, the great editing in terms of splicing all the different camera angles made it as fun to watch as it was to listen!

[NaruXShippuden]

cool camera shots :] dramatic!

[neotreo]

how is this a tetris song?

anyway, it's good

[Marioiswicked]

its the orginal tetris nes

[murichecker]

ith's called "Tanz der Zuckerfee" (Dance of the sugarfairy) from Peter Tschaikowsky

[Chrisman7878]

I gave u 5 stars congrats

[hatesquests]

[nenene010]

[BariTenoreDram]

[BenTajer]

"Sugar plum fairy" it's from the nutcracker by Tchaikovsky.

[Hamzozo]

[JPmanga800]

[honeymaice]

[Bernsmt]

AWESOME !!!

[SunaNoGarra]

thats soooo good!

i wish i could play like that =[

[Airhockeylirare]

Could you pleease put up a "how to play video " on this one? Iäve been looking for it for a loong time. thanks in advance

[rothbamt]

the camera angles do make it look exciting but that is definetly not tetris at all, suger plumb ya dumb dumb.

[thomasdecarlo]

I'm not really sure how to respond...

Did you read the video description?

[rothbamt]

why yes i did but not till teh end, and i don't think that you should call it the original tetris song, just call it the sugar plumb... you can add in the description that it was recomended as a tetris song (one out of the three) but it makes no sence to put tetris...

like i said i don't mean to bash you, cause you play better than i, so that is my thoughts on it...

[thomasdecarlo]

The song certainly is the Sugar Plum Fairy, but the video is about Tetris.

Let me explain:

The video is a spoof of the hundreds of videos on YouTube of people playing the main theme from Tetris. The opening/closing shots mimic the "webcam" shot that everyone uses, including the ambient noise that disappears when I put on the headphones. Thus, you start the video expecting it to be just like all the others.

Therefore, it would defeat the meaning of the video to rename it.

[rothbamt]

that was very confuzing but i guess i get et. a clever play on videos but not a very good one by far.

well, here to settle this... think what you wanna think, b/c i am not you and that is what makes america, america. bye now and just contine doing what it is that you are doing... fine? fine?

[shnakes0420]

actualy the original relesed version of tetris for the nes has this song as song A.. but later on it was changed to the more comonly known one people listen to today :3

dont make me bust out my camera and do a horible vid responce :P

[rothbamt]

hey i have been talking to the guy who has made it if you have not been looking at it so be quiet and we have already settled it. i do not need your imput m-kay?

we don't need a stupid video responce

[LordHawke13]

The title of this song is really Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

[hutlurscuck]

I can't find the 8-bit version ;_;

[YotubeBroadcaster]

it seems like it's from some movie. cause of the way he moves

[kassakkas]

he is not really playing that song....cool video,but nothing else...mario is right

[thomasdecarlo]

It is true, to produce the video, I had to play along with the music, but I AM playing the song. Ignoring the lag from the video compression, a pianist could tell that I am playing it. You can watch a lag-free version on my website. Also: the recording is also me playing the song.

[mario54671]

well I think the guy's talented, but him playing this song wouldn't make him talented, it's like a very good pianist playing a really easy song, come on guys, this song doesn't look that hard. How do I think he's really good from just watching this video? well the way his hands just move very smoothly, seems like he doesn't have to try hard to hit the keys, unless if that's a synthesizer since I DID see headphones...bah whatever, he seems good.

[Yvl9921]

Indeed. The camera angles make it seem more exciting.

[mario54671]

yeah, but that's not his playing, that's the editing and production stuff.

[thomasdecarlo]

That's right, I make that shit look easy. Haha. But seriously, I had to play along to the music to synchronize all the different shots (hence the headphones), but the audio was, in fact, a recording of my own performance.

[Brazzle]

This is pure talent. Have fun getting laid every single day for being a badass. You deserve it.

[cdgrijalva1]

That isnt a tetris song that is a nutcraker part

[cdamediousar]

but this music was in one of tetris versions

[jackparkes123]

Yeah it was on the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) song 1. And i should know as i have it. Anyway well done mate!

[Lightally16]

i've been trying to figure out the easy way to play that song

[Shinigami1016]

hm. ive never playd with anything 'cept the original theme

[riley501111]

This song, "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", was my favorite song to play Tetris to.  Thanks for sharing.

[repololi]

lol it's nutcracker

[kikaimaster]

fyi (for your info)

this was used in the NES of tetris

which is the music 1 from the 3 you can select

the other one i don know from where it is.

It is also the tchaikovsky's

[millinao]

Nice job, funny to watch it when the video is off a quarter note.

[thomasdecarlo]

Yeah... YouTube's sucky compression basically erased all the time I spent cueing each shot. :-(

[khoavuong]

Excuse me, but this piece was first used in a screensaver. Tchaikovsky and Nintendo simply licensed it.

[suhzjeck09]

lol .. r u viet ? im viet ..i dont know that viet ppl listen to classical

[dreameroftheday]

So screensavers existed before Tchaikovsky? O.o

[LordEmilous]

why the fuck is the title "the OTHER tetris song"????

Nice job anyway

[thomasdecarlo]

Apparently I need to put "TCHAIKOVSKY" in big letters at the beginning of the clip because no one has the patience to wait to the end, or to actually read the info I bothered to type.

[itachilove80]

not tetris. tkchiavowski's. but good job!

[repololi]

It's nutcracker.

[dancewithme9]

GooD JOB M8

[andygirl94]

[mynick7777]

[jasonbucy]

[HarryPotterWorshiper]

he has skills but this is the dance of the sugar plum faries

[mynick7777]

true

[billiebullshit]

To quote the guy who posted this, "This seldom-played song from Tetris is from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite."

They used this song as the theme for Tetris on NES.

[Thiemo87]

Its veeerrryyy nice !!

Is there any chance you will it exta slow, with only head-up cam? That would be even nicer ;)

[GirlDisapppering]

SugerPlumFairy!!!! hi hi.. from the nutcracker.

[breaneopets]

sugar plums my fave

[nairda55555]

there are three very well writen tetris songs. the original, the sugar plum, and some other one i dont know.

[GangstaRatamacue]

this one's going to favourites! I love the jumpy feel to it towards the begining and end.

[ajseguin]

that's the real tetris song actualy ther's 3 of them but the one everyone talks about is not even on the original version on the nes wich i have by the way tetris was made in rusia and the other song a a russian classic so that's why it's been added after but the song he play is part of the tree first original songs!

[blackflytr]

how u can play so perfect with 2 hands?? wow..

[GatomonGal]

NUT CRACKER!!

[DepressedAnimeAddict]

I'm not going to favourite this because it is the other tetris song...

but because this was played so well!

[alexaxxem]

wow! very nice!! you play this perfectly i wish i could play it but i cant find a good tutorial... unless you manage to play this song kinda slow and put the camera at a birds eye view then that would be very helpfull.. cause i cant read music :(

[dudejack5]

nice vid....good job

[thomasdecarlo]

I'd like to thank everyone for their comments and support, which is why I have decided to produce a similar piano video to promote my first official CD coming out late this Fall of music by Debussy. You can already listen to the progress on the CD on my website. Thanks again, and enjoy!

[gazeuze]

yeah well youre right.... i don't know why, i missed out on the last part... thx anyway

man, do you know what song is this? and who composed it and sutff like that? please do tell
