Rowan Atkinson - 'The Piano Player'

[AreYouExperienc3d]

The improvisation of Moonlight Sonata mvt. 3 is just HILARIOUS.

[DragonoftheEastblu]

People say that Lee Evans stole Atkinson's piano skits. I say he's keeping them alive.

[Kudderkrabbe]

Great!!!

[suckysammy]

in a rush???

:)

[dawneclipse1]

Rowan Atkinson learns music.

[Museatlantis]

Simply amazing. I like the way he looks at his imaginary watch and then starts playing fast

[FloatingBird]

i don't wanna know how much practice one needs to be playin a non existant piano in this realistic way

[genrolecaspe]

Anyone noticed that he accidentally put down the piano cover hardly and then his left arm got hurt...

[2knowyourrole]

absolutely hilarious. look at his expressions.

[StromyCZ]

The way he synchronizes with the playback is just fantastic :))

[Beethoven878]

ladies and gentlemen: the new Barenboim! xD

[ALittleBuzzyBee]

Do not try and play the piano. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth. There is no piano.

[paulw6071]

this must be where lee evans gets his ideas lol

[VMaxTV]

185 people can't play piano !!!!

[makmubotak]

@VMaxTV you mean they can't see the piano

[VMaxTV]

@makmubotak can't play mean can't see, yeahh i mean that :)

[fairly1000]

@VMaxTV 185 people don't know what piano is.

[moffat27]

My grandad used to have one of these very models!

[airbird747]

Does anyone know the piano piece? Composer and/or opus no#? I'm looking to buy it off iTunes :)

[dennis0mus]

@airbird747 there are two pieces. the first one is sonata "pathetique" ,movement onebye ludwig van beethoven, and the fast one is also by beethoven - moonlight sonata, movement three

(I am a pianist too ;P but I usually play at real pianos xD)

[airbird747]

@dennis0mus Thank you so much! I am a professional Bassoonist, but do love great piano.

[dennis0mus]

@airbird747 oh dont even mention it

[max11dirt]

@airbird747 The first piece is the first movement of the Appasionata sonata; the second is the last movement of the Moonlight sonata.

[alciefrederic]

@max11dirt The first piece is the first movement of the "Pathetique" sonata (No.8), not the Appasionata (No.23) sonata.

[WannaBeChuckKillah]

This talent is far far far from reality

[MrFrekodiko]

184 ppl cant even play a piano like this

[KariannesKlinkekule]

Fantastic!

[smudgemouse]

Superb mime act by the absolute master!!

[smudgemouse]

Superb mime by the absolute master!!

[CanadaPisces]

A comedic masterpiece by the inimitable Mr. Bean!

[gwidao123]

Attention everyone, what the video doesnt say is that if you cant see the piano, its because you have no sense of humor. so if you dont see it, just go away =)

[abcdclanleader]

what song is it when it starts 2:10 ?

[amirghanipour]

@abcdclanleader it's Moonlight sonata movement 3

[magicarp79]

@amirghanipour I bet he can really play the music... He can memorize the movements and play accordingly without the help of an instrument. That is rather clever. :)

[Kdanc86]

The emperors new piano

[Santosificationable]

He plays better than Chuck Norris.

[cw5394]

fake, theres no piano.

[DoofenPerry]

@cw5394 Wow.... You're a clever boy.

[jarradzdmusic]

@cw5394 HURDUR.

[rkmcdonald7]

LAWL



[RandomReader11]

what song is he playing? it sounds sooo familiar

[ShaolinKungFu93]

@RandomReader11 Beethoven's Pathetique sonata and Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement.

[goldeneye0010]

@RandomReader11 i know :L, i think i've heard this on tom nd jerry thing.

[karinahenriksen00]

I love Rowan Atkinson!

[flemish4]

Whats everyone on about there is a piano...!

[overthetop96]

@flemish4 tht is the point

[DerekWilliamsMusic]

Atkinson must be a phenominal musician to be able to achieve such synchronicity with the piano.

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@DerekWilliamsMusic just learn a little bit by heart, is not difficult at all

[TheMuller1989]

Of course there's no piano....thats the joke!! come on!!!



[TheMuller1989]

Of course there's no piano....thats the joke!! come on!!!

[bigmamabg]

I play exactly the same way...unfortunately xD

[ZekeValentin]

He is to be one of the most wonderful actor of his time; his face is so expressive it's just outstanding !!

[jacv55youtub]

there's no piano!!! but hey, there's music!! =)



[kovalev27c]

this is so fake the piano isnt there so there cant be music playing DUH

[WeakestSoldier]

@kovalev27c no shit?genius

[morietristesse]

Hm. That means the piano is a lie.

[ThatsSoAnne]

this is FANTASTIC !

[ShinRyuKen1115]

i can see the piano, its...its...its.....invisible!­!!!

[TOOHOOAH]

air piano!

[SengKiat93]

HAHA 4:18

[paopaomanalansan]

@SengKiat93 LOL

[brillemmarocks]

[p4cm4n182]

artistic Rowan kinda reminds you of Thom Yorke doesnt he

[LLOYD19851012]

Knighthood

[obnoxiousbastard]

National treasure....

[MrDJKARIZMA]

he fucks up once with his left hand on 1:30

[Bboy1Horizon]

Does any one know what the first piece is?

[SoundsUzed]

@Bboy1Horizon Allegro molto e con brio, 4th part of beethovens Moonlight Sonata ;)

[AndreVancso]

@SoundsUzed You mean 3rd movement of beethovens Moonlight Sonata ;).

[SoundsUzed]

@AndreVancso No, the second part (after he takes a look on his watch) is the third movement, Presto Agiato

[AndreVancso]

@SoundsUzed Yes I thought you that was what you were referring to. However, moonlight Sonata only has 3 movements, there is no fourth.

[kozzakaddam]

An air-piano competition would be pretty boss.

[MrJakel111]

he must of put a lot of work into this!

[K3nLT]

Those who say that there's no piano are too limited to see it !!!!!

[TheSeldomSeenDude]

@K3nLT Sorry bro, but there's actually no piano. That's the point of the sketch.

[Kannabiskind]

2.666.666 ;D

[koringn]

how can you not see the piano, you bloody idiots, its right in front of him.

[misscarly12]

OMG i saw the piano.

[hkgfoto]

this is as hard as hell if u know how to play the piano. You gotta memorize it first and without the the sound from the piano, you dun even know what you are playing,great vid!

[simplesimplicius]

He is such a good pianist

[R0m0n3]

omG that piano looks just like mine

[Harzmusic]

I am pretty sure this is playback, he is playing really inaccurate.

[hamairfan]

wow it wants 24 hours training and another 24 howers listen to Music

[rafols012]

fake or not,he's entertaining!

[acerkele]

182 people didnt see the piano..

[madalingalalahanin]

LOL at stupid people who doesn't know a joke. hahahahaha!

[madmadz4donkeys]

Oh ma Gawd! AN INVISABAL PIAANO!

[daremedo]

either rowan is tiny or the piano is massive

[princessannesofhia]

I love Mr. Bean!

[ACVB2006]

There IS a piano and it's a bloody Steinway :):)

[IdiotsForSale]

@BolloTheDrummer You're retarded, Phoenix is obviously kidding.

[sonce89]

[hejafish]

featured video: Mr Bean cartoon... erm.. no f**kin thanks youtube.

[VeryFamousGuy]

xD did 2:30 remind anyone else of muppets?

[melj212]

what's with the "no piano" thing???? ahahahaha Don't you know who's Rowan Atkinson is and have you ever watched his other videos???? OMG...

[kingnatre]

guys i get it why you guys are saying this is fake, but, where is the piano?

[AsurorusA]

@kingnatre vovo

[TheAdrianStalker]

@kingnatre

You mean where is the music play from,right?

[edwardbateria]

La mejor pieza musical en manos del maestro!

[TheDoingYourMom1]

People, you really think the ones saying "fake, I can't see the piano" are SERIOUS? Jesus, I'm worried about your sense of humor...

[PhoenixTomislav]

@TheDoingYourMom1 Finally, I though there was no hope for a humankind. I got like 10 comments replying stupid things and one guy wrote a whole fu*king novel explaining how it is supose that piano doesn't exist. And one guy, who is subscribed to =3 and has some of it's videos as his favorites, replied how stupid I am. Kinda, suprises me 'cause if he didn't recognize my sarcasam, how the fu*k he can watch =3 and understand that midget's jokes.

[LMF5000]

@TheDoingYourMom1 I think they're pretenting to think they're serious.

[Jevezy]

@TheDoingYourMom1:You are worried about their sense of humor or their complete, unabashed ignorance?

[garchompelago]

@TheDoingYourMom1 but I really cant see the piano D:

[Candyflozza]

his arms are like a hamster's

[devanharold]

HAUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[NotAllClassicalMusic]

Pathetique. Nice.

[melagads]

i dont see a piano

[PivotOwnege]

@melagads OH, NEVER! OH, GOD! You may have a minor case of serious brain damage, mate! ._.

[melagads]

@PivotOwnege hmm... i think u are right but where is the piano?

[MrJackanthony]

His drum miming was spot on..that is if he were doing it on a real drum it would sound pretty similar. Piano? Not so much..but that's bean..

[firefoxcodex15]

@PhoenixTomislav How can he be a comedian if he had a piano?? he would be a pianist.. duh!!

[ironmusezeppelin97]

@firefoxcodex15 Or he would be Tim Minchin

[23565120]

Sing along -the words are quite simple: !

TUNES, - CAN DRIVE YOU BAR - MY

[snoookie456]

He missed to use his left hand hand at 3:40 , but I'm pretty sure he can play the piano very well :D

[Jokaborga]

Looks like Lang Lang :D

[matdroff]

Did he play air-guitar too ?

Seeing him on an Led Zep tune could be great...

[jigglypugz]

i think he missed the fermata in measure 43

[CHLachut]

Haha

[11jansza]

haha he shut the lid on his hand XD

[Vanafiz]

Pathétique in French means : which arouses pity. It's rather clear.

[icu109]

do not hear any Moonlight Sonata, I'm afraid. Have played it numerous times and none of this sketch matches the song.

[WonkyAsian]

@icu109 MattyHacky93 is right. I'm pretty sure the fast section starting around 2:09 is the last movement of the Moonlight sonata. Try playing it again and maybe you'll see..

[MattyHacky93]

@icu109 well you have probably only heard the 1st movement (which is the most popular) but the sonata is made up of 3 totally contrasting movements... and the 3rd movement is what you hear in this sketch from about 2:09... up to that point is the first movement of the Pathetique sonata...well the first 9 bars!

[thefreakindestructo2]

@MattyHacky93 show off

[blackfreakm]

This guy is a genius

[MattyHacky93]

hahaha nice ^^ although its not just the Pathetique Sonata..... its a few bars from the beginning of the first movement of the Pathetique and the rest is from the 3rd movement of the Moonlight Sonata! both by L.V. Beethoven.

[KAPNIZW]

Absolutely great Pantomima !!!!!!!

[zeuseros23]

and this comment will get liked for no reason

[SLIPKNOT2MAGGOT]

Rowan Atkinson is probably one of my favourite comedian's.

[daky1445]

@mcdrunkin i think 179 DID see the piano

[NicoThrashMetal93]

The best solo of Piano ! hahaha

[PhoenixTomislav]

This is fake, there is no piano here.

[Blaccat8]

@PhoenixTomislav Well done Sherlock :D you won a prize!!!

[MrPizzapoika]

@PhoenixTomislav Your either very funny or incredibly stupid.

[90geekgirl06]

@PhoenixTomislav Can't tell if trolling or just really dumb...

[brentbanaagbaab]

@PhoenixTomislav of course everyone knows that!! this is just a show, c'mon...

[PrinceOfFayth]

@PhoenixTomislav No shit sherlock?

[JediButch]

@PhoenixTomislav *sigh*

[tnicholson784]

@PhoenixTomislav

No duh, this is one of Rowan's invisible instrument skits

[firefoxcodex15]

@PhoenixTomislav How can he be a comedian if he had a piano?? he would be a painist.. duh!!

[MrXboxfan619]

@PhoenixTomislav No shit shorlock!

[Tearminator10]

@PhoenixTomislav

thats really the whole point of this part...... your not really supposed to see a bleeding piano here and he is only playing the "imaginary" piano and his finger movement speed matches the speed of the notes playing thats why its funny....... you must be on drugs to actually see the piano......... god help those who "THINK" they can see it o.0

[Lizzajr118]

@PhoenixTomislav That's why it's so brilliant

[TheBloodyEagle]

@PhoenixTomislav this is like the invisible drum kit. :D

[JJCLover64]

@PhoenixTomislav theere isnt meant to be a piano.

[thepeopleinthecerro]

@PhoenixTomislav pfff isn't fake ok it's mr bean he's an actor D: .|.. this is a show

[thepeopleinthecerro]

@PhoenixTomislav pfff isn't fake ok it's mr bean he's an actor D: .|.. this is a show it's only comedy!

[IdiotsForSale]

@thepeopleinthecerro Phoenix is kidding! Of course there isn't a piano! He's simply taking the piss out of people that always write "fake". That's why he's got so many thumbs up, cause it's funny

[Kenneth9725]

@PhoenixTomislav you're really a retarded includes those who thumbs up for you. Would Mr. Bean really be a piano player? He acts as if there's a invisible piano.

[bryonyrocks]

@Kenneth9725 i hope you die

[Kenneth9725]

@bryonyrocks -,-

[lealowo]

@PhoenixTomislav no piano indeed, you must have an impressive iq mate. i couldn't realize it until i read your comment. now try to figure out why is there the sound of a piano even though there is no piano. you figure that one out, you can go straight to the boards of nuclear physicists to try and solve once and for all what happened before the big bang. btw, how did you figure out there's no piano? i'm sure there's a lot of people scratching their heads hard asking themselves the same question.

[DanDud1]

@lealowo Bellend.

[KingKael00]

@PhoenixTomislav :L Ahahaaa

[koringn]

@PhoenixTomislav uuh go get your eyes checked out.

[briarola]

@PhoenixTomislav wow...are you sure your not some kinda genius? you should prolly go to MIT or something with that big of a head....

[Waraji258]

@PhoenixTomislav You are BLIND, the is an full organ there.. OO

[mikester1290]

@PhoenixTomislav

You are not a funny child, you're parents should have bought a dog.

[l0rdsamer]

@PhoenixTomislav  ohhh really nice ,,,,, thanks for attentions :D

[ilikeracing21]

[TeepzTunez]

@PhoenixTomislav

Well I think you're hilarious.

[123maxfire456]

epic sonata by an epic composer, "interpreted" by an epic comedian ... do you want more ?

[123maxfire456]

179 people don't like Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata

[vivaouzo108]

Great !!!!

[rainbowkeys711]

*wiping the coffee off my screen*

Hilarious, and BRILLIANT!!!

[TenStoryLoveSong]

Looks like Hitler let this one slip the net! lol

[chatterjt]

2% of the people saw the piano

[Macerle]

that man is a living legend a genius to be searched under such an amount of people!!

[NightWalker099]

OMg !!! where is his piano, ???? maybe his piano is invisible =)), any way, that's very fun and nice

[AdamBond7]

such an underrated physical comedian, his whole live stand up show is fantastic

[kuneck1986]

MI SONATA FAVORITA Y MI COMICO FAVORITO

[random007nadir]

The French word 'pathetique' is a difficult word to translate - maybe 'despair' though not so absolute.

[jorgepeterbarton]

@random007nadir means pathetic surely? pathos, rather than the more popular usage.

[KawaiiNoBocco]

ahahaha!! sugoi desune!

[Kuman0drag0n]

I don't really understand all the comments about # people cant see the piano. id be pretty worried if someone actually saw a piano there

[XxsiananxX]

@Kuman0drag0n hahah yeh i 100% agree with you there :L

[kicked123456]

@Kuman0drag0n It is just peoples lame attempt at poor wit
