Happy Birthday in Rachmaninov style

[ParkJinna]

this is absolutely amazing.. absolutely speechless. bravo

[MehdiiMelki]

I really appreciate!! awesome!!!!

[f1f1s]

If every young man improvised for me with passages like 4:41-4:44, I would date them even though I am a young man, too, ha-ha.

I have been heavily thinking on making a Scriabin-style impromptu. Your recording just spurred me and gave another incentive to work harder.

P.S. There is few Rachmaninov in your opus. Just late Romanticism: Alkan, Blumenfeld, Chopin, Debussy, Eckhardt-Gramatté... Damn, I messed with the alphabet but could do nothing to prevent it!..

[DasKindespiel]

Y estoy seguro que la "chica inspiración" sólo dijo: "Ah, gracias; está bonita"

[bolhommeable]

This is a really great version, congratulation, rachmaninof is here or what?

[MrLeofabian]

very well but is between Rachmaninov and Schumann I think so. Beautiful!!

[michieldpiano]

You may allways add me on facebook: Michiel Sebastiaan Demarey

[AsociacionOM]

Muy bueno!, very good!

[johnnyvegas1985]

Incredibly good, a gifted player!

[yxtai]

good job :)

[797fcat]

I think Rachmaninov would be quite impressed!!

[Dihelson]

Amazing. I will upload my own improvisations on some tunes, including this.

[pianomangabe]

Absolutely beautiful. That is quite some talent :)

Keep playing.

[Martykun36]

If Virginie didn't pass out from her heart and all her internal organs being melted into a watery mix of blood and tears when she'd heard this, she's not human.

[mrcyp1976]

wawwwwwwwwwww...This is brillian man,what a improvisation...

God Bless this fingers...

[SonnyRnR]

I wish I were Virginie Delannoy, whoever it is :)

[iadlaws]

Me encanta!. Rachmaninoff es bien pianísitico. Hay que conocerlo bien para hacer esta improvisación. Michie you are great! Love it!

[mcbainst]

I hope Virginie gave it up after hearing this.

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

I want to see the score :O

[scriabin007]

Thanks...realy good improvisation!

[throwscats]

Wow, you're really good. I'm impressed. Really impressed.

[shavedhead99]

This is absolutely fantastic. I, too, wish that there was a transcription for those of us who don't have that level of improvisation skill. 

[jazzfanCA]

Excellent rendition. When I hear playing like that, it makes me think I don't know how to play at all!

[Rmeister007]

Perhaps you should have this score written out on a computer program and repost in YouTube with the sheet music. That'd be wonderful for all of us to play as well. Bravo!!!

[muyy1]

WOW~~~~~~~~~

[TheSingingAmanda]

Happy Birthday Nelson xoxoxox

[shilloshillos]

[TheWater911]

WOW! Unbelievable!

[YAPOCHANG1982]

Who composed this arrangement ?

[michieldpiano]

@YAPOCHANG1982

I composed it by the moment with my heart without any preparations

[appeltaartje]

Very very very nice ! Thanks !

[chopzart]

you. are. amazing. Rachmaninoff's style is not easy to improvise. I love your improvisation much more than the typical ones where people repeat the same four pretty-sounding chords over and over again with cheesy little ornaments. dude, you make REAL music. <3.

[klamyth]

simply brilliant!

[keetner]

Fantastic!

[crisulik]

you had smth brahms like also? or am I wrong?:) post it:D

[michieldemarey]

@crisulik

Yes I had it, but it was total junk and the only one who has it is a girl named Masha...

[massimiliano123123]

is a your improvvisation?? ...WOW.. 

[Ninjaphil24]

Rachmaninoff's musical language is in my view the pinnacle of music. And you speak it with such ease and perfection. A skill I can only aspire to for the distant future. Well done!

[jasonextreme]

Truly an amazing improvisation you've created... It's artistry such as this that touches the soul.

[Martel211996]

this is absolute the exact style that Rachmaninoff would improvise in. I can totally feel the rach in it. bravo. the harmonies were careful put nicely i love it. who is the pianist?

[dirkpianoful]

Michiel, you are an amazing pianoplayer. Your impro is really fantastic. I am looking for more !

[ongalexander]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blistex649]

Amazing. Mann, do not let this skill and talent go to waste!

[0blacone]

I don't get how people do this... how do they just make up this stuff! it is awesome!

[arcoxl]

Very very well done! Love to hear more improvs from you!

[Papillons89]

Speechless.

This is the most beautiful gift a guy can do to a girl the day of her birthday.

And this guy is just amazing... I mean, he's improvizing !!!! Listen carefully to the sound, perfect, clean and warm at the same time. So young, such an artist.

[michieldpiano]

Thank you so much for the compliments!

These words give me alot of motivation to start all over with fresh mind and positive thaughts!

[EtrofOnaip]

@michieldpiano

I also hear Chopin - - I should like to hear you together with "Hugo van Neck" (look for Hugo van Neck Rachmaninoff, what I filmed) He is a Dutch Pianist, who is specialized in Classical Improvisation..

[alkanliszt]

Excellent improvisation. Nice big Rachmaninov sound too.

[dmytropiano]

Very convincingly and touchingly!!! Bravo!!!

[EilisErina]

Bravo Michiel ! so nice and sweet gesture for a girl :)

[vivipiano333]

Indeed, I was very touched by such a nice gesture!

[silhouettena]

Michiel, wonderful! It's soundly a new experience for me.

You're practiced in the composition of music.

Happy Belated Birthday to vivipiano333!

[vivipiano333]

Thank you very much! I was filled with happiness with such a wonderful present.

Have a nice evening!
