The "Bach" sounds more like the Chopin should have. If still not quite.

Omg! I can't believe how I spelled "showmanship" in my comment below. lol

But I absolutely love this video. She plays like a genius! I mean, she can really work those keys! Omg! I am sooooo jealous...lol

[December10th2010]

THANK YOU! It's my B'Day today, Dec 10...

[December10th2010]

This is so funny in the beginning because classical pianist do hold their heads back, and shake it "no" to some slower pieces for showmen ship. Sometimes I find it really hilarious. But this is a funny and fun video, and made it my feature just for tomorrow since it's my B'Day too...lol

I h8 being another year older, but then again, what's the alternative, right? lol

She's really funny and soooooo talented.

This is just an almost an exact copy of Victor Borges happy birthday variations from very early time.. this clip is from 1951.. do a search for Victor borger and happy birthday.

[callron1]

@adamgadk I am a fan of Victor Borge, and have seen most of his work, including the 1951 Happy Birthday bit. Nicole Pesce, may have been inspired for doing the Happy Birthday by Victor, but I never saw Victor lay back, upside down, with head under the keyboard, whily playing Mozart. If you have a link to that clip, please post it here.  For more sampling of Nicole's talent and creativity, check out her "Flight of the Bumblebee" Thanks, Ron

[meetska]

@adamgadk no it's not. She was inspired by the idea, but picked entirely different pieces of music to parody. I, too, am a big fan of Victor Borge, but she freshened it up. The Chopin and Bach pieces are entirely different than what Victor Borge did. Even the Moonlight Sonata piece is different in her interpretation.

[lllllllllllllll88]

Omg! I can't even play sitting up and she's upside down and backwards? Omg! LOL

Great stuff...

[lllllllllllllll88]

LOL - That's very good!

[gsarci2011]

this pianist has also a good sense of humor!

[FlyingBlackAndWhite]

wonderful improvisation.

however I think the bach 'variation' wasnt very good.

I don't think bach will be so aggressive. It was close to romantic/chopin.

But bravo anyway. bravo.

[Vesivian]

morel like overly bravura-ish

[gsarci2011]

haha, nakakatawa talaga!

[drakongirl]

do you think we can find sheets somewhere? I love it!!! it's so fancy and original.If someone knows where to get sheets or can do them by ear, please let me know >,>

[erikingmundson]

Actually, if you listen to victor's stuff, her variations are slightly different. She just uses victor's ideas as a starting point.

[beetie009]

Creativity ? Humour ? She is just copying Victor Borge !!!!!

[JamesraynorII]

some one MUST play bach's version on an organ

[rtcutler]

Actually the supposed Bach sounded a lot more like Beethoven.

[TheSammadan]

woOOOOow amazing amazing happy birth day Beethoven so so classic and Chopin very beautiful Bach so dramatic so power Mozart so funny
