Piano Duet - Faster, Faster, Faster...

[MrLedington2]

As a pianist of some skill, i find this video painful to listen too, the woman obviously cannot play the piece, she slaps the piano with no attempt to add any tone or variety to the playing, a simple finger staccato would suffice the same kind you would use while playing the snow is dancing by Debussy, the guy however has some skill, on another note if your going to use so many high notes invest in a good microphone that can record the notes without screwing up the sound

[MarlasanLovesCake]

shes clawing the piano it looked kinda odd x.x the other dude was playing it the right way >.<

[ZOD1189]

What's the name of this song? i know i have ear it too many times before but i can't remember the name :S

[fmagloire1]

Congratulations to Stan and Alicia on reaching

[EraserMonster]

[tehcolourpurple10796]

Your Lil' Cousin stole my name. XD Nice job, you two.

[silvrmun]

[09saxmajor]

WHY ARE ASIANS BETTER AT EVERYTHING!!!!!!

[silvrmun]

@09saxmajor Not at everything!!

[BoyznGirlz09]

Asians are AWESOME!!!

[kohlrabenschwanz]

the girl in front seems to have trisomy 21

[cheeseonfire2]

@kohlrabenschwanz ya right? esp at start lol

[billymyluve]

Can any1 tell me what is the name of this music sheet?

[fmagloire1]

@billymyluve It is a variation of Handel's Passacaglia.

[EveningFantasy]

Asian rules.

[fmagloire1]

It is a variation of Handel's Passacaglia.

[Martel211996]

Where is this from? it sounds very familiar...very bach like..

[fmagloire1]

Beautiful music indeed by two talented musicians!

[hellfire1708]

I don't see Asians here. I see excellent musicians. When it comes to music, there are no more American or Asians or Europeans or Africans... only musicians.

[hellfire1708]

I don't see Asians here. I see excellent musicians. When it comes to music, there are no more American or Asians or Europeans or Africans... only musicians.

[TheAgdolllover]

People, stop being prejudice! Just because they are Asian doesn't mean all these things! Not every person is the same. Just because they are amazing doesn't mean they are forced to work 1000 times a day. So please stop assuming things.

[Onetreehill20000]

Is that a korean song or something like that i think i already listen to that song :)

[fmagloire1]

39,000 views to 300,000. Still a joy to listen to!

[paddotk]

would you stop arguing about races... It's an INDIVIDUAL who does this or not. Not determined in any way by where someone's from.

Besides they speak English so they're probably not even Asian... by passport

[docsharp00]

yeeaaaah!

[XRosemary3X]

Americans - pursuit of Happiness

Asians - pursuit of achievement

It's just a matter of priorities.

[Augenatic]

@XRosemary3X thats bullshit

[LethalEugene]

@XRosemary3X Douche. Americans are living to work and earn big money. Everyone knows that.

[tin2124]

@XRosemary3X

not the Americans, but the Italians, they're truly the master of doing nothing,

somehow Americans and Asians are similar, sorry to say that

[anahmi]

@XRosemary3X they just seem like they're having fun

[mmariajosemajo]

wooooowwww great job!!!

[kevonx1]

i clicked on the link just to say thats what she said

[sr22racing]

Very beautiful

[xXyourawesomeXx]

Who cares what ethnicity they are...they own.

[frz655]

oh and they are hong kong if i not wrong

[frz655]

asians are better in sense of learning, americans are good at creativity thats wat i think

[chris110012]

@frz655

Ehh I think it's just the social standards that set Americans / Chinese / Everywhere else apart. They aren't any better at learning than we are at being creative, it's just that they probably value certain things higher than we do (Same can be said for us). I feel education is valued wayyy higher in the East-Asian countries than it is in America, which is why you see kids being introduced to music, math, etc., at a lower age than in the Western countries.

[fmagloire1]

Congratulations to Stan and Alicia for reaching A QUARTER OF A MILLION VIEWS

with their performance of Piano Duet-Faster, Faster

January 7th, 2011.

[aznlove9]

just seeing the girl enjoying the piano, made me smile too.

[fmagloire1]

A variation of Handel's Passacaglia-

[anafortbezzaf]

what was the piece ?

[Bruceforge]

Handel's passacaglia :D

[Eminem3482]

every time he comes near her face i thought hell grap a bite of her cheeck ... scary

[1939840]

nice tune!!

[faxmanloveswaffles]

Yep....

Asians...

[shunnehling]

That was simple yet beautiful.

[NomNomChew]

this a cool duet

[fmagloire1]

Beautiful duet-the 2 are definitely harmonized-Great performance!

[MrBacons]

I can play this with one hand when I was 10.

You all suck

[XxXmichelleguzmanXxX]

@MrBacons U Know Trying To Show Off Doesnt Get People Interested In U :)

[david323ish]

bitches i can play this!!

[BeckyWuvsU]

I can play this by myself but it's SO DIFFICULT x.x

[teenkid100]

AWESOME!!!!! XD YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! XD

[P2000Camaro]

@colbythebomb ........I really hope that was a joke..lol. You spelled "Volunteer" wrong, AND "Neurosurgeon" wrong... lol. You should at least google this stuff before you write it. Not to mention the massive amounts of grammatical errors.. And I wouldn't have necessarily attacked you for it, had you not said "I'm in honors english".. I failed every English class I've ever taken. Honors English must be slang for "Special Ed".

[fmagloire1]

It's a variation of Handel's Passcaglia. On YouTube, it's known as,

Piano Duet Faster,Faster

[5quick9]

what's the title of this music?

[amazn12]

"so tired" haha :)

[fmagloire1]

That's so cute and funny when Alicia says,"I'm sooo tired!" at the end.

It's a true indication of her level of concentration as she played her part.

[TheCurtthehurt]

this is incredible! great accomplishment.

[fmagloire1]

It's a variation of Handel's Pascaglia, but on YouTube it is known as,

"Piano Duet-Faster, Faster " because the piece accelerates as it progresses.

I hope we can reach 253,000 views by the end of October.

Stan and Alicia deserve it for their fine performance. Thank you!

[TPrimaryS]

What is the name for this song?

[Suroki]

The way she plays is sooooo cuuuuuute! XD

[fmagloire1]

I see we are a little behind for the month of October. I'd like the # of views to hit 253,000 by Halloween. All of you fans out there try to play the view at least twice each day to facilitate this. Once again, thanks for all your support for this unique duo of talent!

[DrAdaWong]

Are u from HK?

[isa87ish]

talent in progress!=) ;p good luck =) you`re really good sweety =)

[ThisIsKuroCat]

Fuck all of you that have to mention ethnicity always ...

[RosesNightengales]

o_o woah.

[delphainekim]

wow must've taken a while to match up the fast notes awesome xD

[binhnguyenntt]

very nice, the daughter so cute, I love her, I can't find the sheet how to play this song can some body help me

[fmagloire1]

@binhnguyenntt We appreciate your support! Alicia is actually Stan's little cousin, according to his YouTube posting. It is truly an amazing performance that appears to inspire other piano players.

Our goal is to hit 300,000 views by the time the ball goes down in T.S. on New Years Eve in New York City. We only need 70,000 more views. That's about 23,000 views each month for the remaining 3 months of 2010. So tell all your friends and enjoy!!!

Thank you much!!!

[julieification]

I'm back. I so love this video. Thanks for airing it.

[purple3gem]

cool duet!!

[sapetsch]

Love it! For those that have asked, the song is Passacaille by Handel. The best version I found on iTunes is a guitar version by Bronn Journey. It sounds like this video except on guitar.

[julieification]

Love it! Thanks for airing!

[fmagloire1]

Improvisation is what makes this performance great! No sheet music in front of them. Yet Alicia does the final pass at 2:30. That's a good point to end it.

Superb harmony, creative originality and just plain fun...! I have this posted as one of my favorites. Thumbs up if it's also anyone else's favorite. Thank U!

[Shannon2993]

Sometimes music can just be played so fast that no emotion can be detected, and to some people it just sounds like noise...

[pianoaddict96]

so cute!

[unknownsd93]

naw!!!! poor alicia HAHA

"now faster!" loll

CUTEE <3

welll done!!!

[fmagloire1]

Enjoy the 2:46 delight known as Piano Duet-Faster,Faster,Faster by Stan and Alicia. Tell your friends too! Thank you!

[saradorna]

[o0PrincessKristy0o]

[ZeroDX]

I like how she smiles at the end. :)

[jessificationxD]

[fmagloire1]

Yes, but it's Stan and Alicia's cool version of the Handel piece! Thumbs up for Piano Duet Faster,Faster,Faster...

On our way to 300,000 views...spread the word!!!

[NagihikoCantabile]

ISN'T THIS PASSACAGLIA?

[jessificationxD]

whats the name of this duet?

[colbythebomb]

asains arent any better than anyone else, just the are determined and practice where as americans just go "eh i'll do it later" and go play xbox.

[blackstrawberry10]

@colbythebomb not true i hate video games exept it is true for my brothers......you have a point

[colbythebomb]

@blackstrawberry10 i play games. but only week ends if homework is done. not forced, its just my choice to do that

[RoteFedern]

@colbythebomb asians are pressured by their parents a lot.....

[hazelnut299]

@RoteFedern how would you know that.? my mom nd dad never "pressured" me. doofus. americans are lazybutts hahha JK

[HadesKHG]

@colbythebomb Yes yes very correct :D

[oxycotton123456789]

@colbythebomb Looks like you need to go work on your spelling rather than be on Youtube looking at videos. asiains? dumbass it's Asian

[colbythebomb]

@oxycotton123456789 sorry my bad, I just spelt it wrong. Amazing how you attack me for that. Im in honors english. I can Fur Elise on piano. I take singing lessons. When I'm not studying math. I'm vulunteering at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. They offered to pay for my schooling. To go to Utah University to become a Nureosurgeon. but ya i guess i'm the dumbass.

[colbythebomb]

@oxycotton123456789 Your xbox lobbies look awesome.

[GodFatherMMM]

@colbythebomb yeaa.. but not entirely correct...

[LearningLifestyle]

@colbythebomb lol

[NomNomChew]

@colbythebomb Usually depends what family you come from too and their morals not all asians are determined.

[AriseDstcrewEastLA]

@colbythebomb or go do drugs

[colbythebomb]

@AriseDstcrewEastLA ya, i had some friends who did drugs, and now they have pregnant girlfriends at age 14. im so glad i didnt go to their parties.

[alfamail2016]

@colbythebomb not all of us lol

[KingOfHeartsgg]

@colbythebomb I BEG TO DIFFER im asian and i am not determined and i do the "eh ill do it later" but i dont have any game systems :P

[Thouartmorelovely]

[badsalad313]

@colbythebomb and yet, asians kill me at video games too.

[Marcuspianoguitar]

2:40 - 2:42

LOL

[Bonethugzzzzzz]

[zzhhaannggddii]

i hope the teacher is just having fun with his student... if he is pushing that kid to just play faster and faster and proud of himself, he would be a bad teacher...

[x3WinterStory]

@zzhhaannggddii I think they're just cousins... O.O"

[fmagloire1]

236 views in less than 24 hours! Waka Waka Shakira had 84,000,000 views the night before the Final Football World Cup 2010 Match between Holland and Spain.

Spread the word and let's push Stan and Alicia to the 300,000 mark as soon as we can! Beautiful music like this deserves support!!! Thanks!!!

[fmagloire1]

These are TRUE musicians! It takes talent to keep repeating the same notes over again and have it still sounding simply Beautiful!

Though I'm not a musician I think they accomplish this by timing

(accelerating the piece at the right intervals during the 2:46 time span)

How they strike the piano keys.

How Alicia expands to the higher notes on the keyboard.

Makes for one beautiful and timeless piece of music.

[azndragonofnorth]

Thank heavens for YouTube for allowing us to enjoy such gems as Stan and Alicia's piano performance on the internet!!!

[fmagloire1]

Stan and Alicia's Piano Duet-Faster, Faster, Faster...will get more and more views(faster, faster, faster...). I predict a 10-fold increase in views to 2,000,000, if not more. I believe the performance was just that good!

[fmagloire1]

Enchanting, melodic, and delightful. I love the way the piece accelerates gradually and evolves into a crescendo of musicality. Well done and flawless!

[fmagloire1]

This is a superb piano performance. You two are a great duo!

The piece sounds very similar to Raul DiBlasio's "Corazon de Nino" (Heart of Child)

[tHadr3am3r]

I loveeeee piano music and this has to be the top of my favorites!

Passacaglia......

[LSOviolinist]

[gastmania933]

the girl is nervous or something?. And of course, they must not be asians.

[AaaaShloobyDoobyDoo]

V. Cool. Luvin it! :D But the girl does need to loosen her hands a little bit.

[letnamsiew]

DELIGHTFUL !

[meefgal]

what's with the girl's fingerings? This still rocks, but I just noticed the stiffness in her hands.

[Lilithly]

@meefgal probably because she has to use just one finger most of the time. so she can´t change the position of the other fingers, which looks stiff. ever played such a song?

[meefgal]

@Lilithly Yeah, but... yeah.

[mysticperson23]

@meefgal u usually change fingers like 4,3,2,1 depending on the time signature?
