Grieg - In the Hall of the Mountain King

[SuperNEKO64]

who dislikes this? .___.

[MrKr0be]

sound like a xylophone

[poopieunderpants]

were they using the pedals?

[maciejm007]

Niezwykłe......



[jadea98]

If you look at the show more, you will obviously see that it was recorded in 1998. Technology has obviously advanced since then.

[bonno3214]

the woman do much more than the kid

[HarmoniousKeys]

@bonno3214 Yeah, lol. It's funny how he's just sitting there in the beginning just staring off into space.

[Eckall]

Camera Quality = Terrible, sounds like a music box

Performance = Great! Well done you two that was flawless.

[lisaveg1]

Well done!!!!:)))

[fcdog555]

Who cares if they don't play it exactly the same as intended?

People learn songs to imbue their own emotions into the music not be a slave to the composer.

[Luquazable]

many have the same problem when playing this piece,start off to fast.

[itsaAMYNAMfan]

sounds like a video game

[masterpio]

many say "it's to much staccato" mainly because this song sounds good in legato.

[imaball]

@masterpio on the original sheet music it says staccato!

[andreirossi1]

Id play exactly the same one octave lower

[rafaluk2]

@andreirossi1 it would sound baaaaad with stacatto.

[dhf92886]

a little to amateurish.Not meant for piano.Ok for a high school talent show.

[cod4u1]

too stiff notes but well done

[Salisaad]

@cod4u1 Kinda the point. I recommend seeing Peer Gynt - it's a good play and you'll hear the original there.

[VivaTuttiMusica]

The girl is very beautiful. If I was the guy, I think i don't look the key but...

[Shakeshack78]

Kudos----usually done by full orchestras (that I've come across anyway)........to do on piano is great!

[sususchatzi]

a little bit too fast at the beginning I think...

[UncutRubber]

Either this is a terrible piano or a terrible recording... presumably the latter :P Anyway, I wish I could play like that - I'd get to sit next to hot girls!

[apppplle]

n the Hall of the ..Fly??

[TheSeventhGuitar]

Bet she has more muscles than he does..

[JFK4GhostWolf2Aeon]

orgasmic song...

[emperorofmuffins]

CHECK OUT THE BICEPS ON THE CHICK!

[TiahGothGirl96]

@emperorofmuffins Haha that's what you get from playing the piano. No joke actually, you get more muscles when you play piano cas you're moving your fingers xD That's what happened to me :X

[SummerPalmsSunshine]

that page-turning-action of her @1:46 was amazing, but Paul didnt need it much anyways :P

[AllTriadHexachord]

Why do people spend their money on cheaper pianos. If more people bought Steinway concert grands then Steinway would have to make them slightly more affordable due to an increase in demand. If more people bought better pianos then bad pianos wouldn't exist because of low demand. That would mean that good pianos would become more affordable by default.

[jnprather]

@AllTriadHexachord That might be some of the most thrashed logic I've heard in a long, long time.

[ThreePeopleAreDead]

@AllTriadHexachord Actually an increase in demand usually means an increase in price. But whatever. Go back to Bizarro World and enjoy things there.

[Qtzlctl]

La chava le hecha ganas pero el mariquita ese apenas si desea tocar.

[AngelsDestroyer]

@Qtzlctl

Que idiota xD

[Qtzlctl]

y que quieres que haga, mas simple no puede sonar...

[leighshen]

The beginning sounds a bit sleepy.

The later part seems better.

I'm not sure if this is the problem of the recording device.

[TheBestofChawchi]

I'm not sure if l like this version, I've played it before and I have mixed feelings, i really don't like the notes at the end when she has the low notes and they both play high until the ends, they were triplets here, but i never heard it like that before, just a quarter note.

[DorkyLordofComputers]

They really don't wait for the silence to they?. They go straight to the song XD

[DJSmithGuitar]

this sounds like a gay version of it not something powerful the mutes add a sense of happiness especially on the high notes just like a childrens jingle it sounded like muted bells

[anycolourulike]

who knew michael cera could play so well

[citationeeded]

It was a little too muted to me, too stacatto.

[TheGenitalGrinder]

Roger!

[TheTRoxby123]

@citationeeded

when you say stacatto you do mean short and crisp if you do then im with you.

[KorbytheStump]

@citationeeded The entirety of the song is IN stacatto. If there's "too much stacatto," you're listening wrong.

I would know, I'm learning to play the thing.

[giuliaspochins]

@citationeeded You meant "staccato". "Stacatto" means nothing AT ALL.

[FredGlass]

@citationeeded Staccato.

[ChristynRig]

@citationeeded That was how the song was written. You would know that if you ever looked up the actual sheet music.

[imaball]

@citationeeded because it is in stacatto.

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@citationeeded staccato

[JlineMore999]

@citationeeded this is perfectly how it has to be!!!

[CoolPieman1]

to many mutes thats what i say

[Jolteon206]

i expected something wayyyy more dramatic...

[Maxfield93]

well played but man it sounds awful.

Sorry someone had to say it.

[SuperRobbenklopper]

you are totally right

[magnetism777]

By the looks of it, most of these commenter's have no idea what they're talking about. These two play the piece at the correct tempo (138), and they follow all the expressions indicated in the sheet music. The sound quality from the camera obviously isn't the best, but this is still a well performed piece.

[LordDot]

This person knows what they are talking about.

[colourfulwithaU]

@magnetism777

Actually, the tempo it's performed at here is closer to 150 (and it gradually speeds up to around 180). So if you're going by what the score says, this is too fast.

[Lollemaster]

@colourfulwithaU Yeah, it's true, the tempo do pace up, but anyway, what the hell, are people so trapped in perfection that they can't enjoy a good piece of performance?

[MrKillerofkillers]

why four hands???

I can play it with 2...

[Partykeller007]

because it sounds better.

[starryplough16]

;-) go champ LOL

[pusekatt83]

I'm sure you can, but it won't sound like this ;)

[sneakygecko]

You ppl shouldnt dis it. Its pretty good i like how instead of the regular note playing the kind of give it more spaces between it changes it. Honestly after you listen to it so much its good to mess around with it ^^

[Kaiser325]

To fast In the begining and all round crap! And I know because I've studied this piece for a looooooooooooooonnnnnnnggggggg­ggg time

[danielix11]

So right, too fast....

[Leftclick24]

That just sucked but mainly on the girl's part

[odacepkezen]

You'd think that if the got good enough to play a duet in front of an audience they wouldn't need to read it anymore and just have it memorized

oh yeah the whole thing SUCKED BIG NEGRO DICK!

[7Cattie7lee7]

This was extrodinary,, beautiful

[maerklinist88]

i prefer the arrangement of the duo *katzenhammer*... this sounds a bit<... empty and emotionless

[JacksonDReynolds]

My favorite classical piece of all time and this is a beautiful performance of it.

[zo12]

This song can most definitely be played by one person, but with two people you can add more complicated layers - though to me i think it's too much and playing the original song would serve well alone :)

[markpianoman]

Just OK...nothing special.

[kkburnout]

sucha simple song compared to the actual version

[IKevBot]

Is it possible for just one person to play that like that on his//her own?? I wonder :P.

Good though, nice vid :)

[primevalkiller3]

v good

[PsychoPhluff]

Jesus, look at the muscle on that chick.

[Galactus1996]

Okay, who else thinks that girl is HOT!

[efraingonzalez]

Pretty i would say!

[Darkilluionoyster]

Your playing it too fast but that's ok you could hear all the notes alright

[grotenk]

you have to play it so fast.

[Fwiff]

i. must. learn. how. to. play. that. that was awesome!

[wilmergamboa]

cool!!!!

[PlanetBW2]

you did great!

[FuujaHouin]

Okay, that is insanely fast. o_o Very nice, though.

[yellowpostit23]

i have to play this with my piano teacher today at our recial. and we don't even go half that fast. thats insane.

[etoxic]

Full orchestra version rock.

[Mixtolife]

It sounds like there is something wrong with the mic. Dunno if its just me.

[super911fernando]

Jeeze she looks like she could bust the piano in half. I rate it an UBER job well done ^_^

[super911fernando]

Jeeze she looks like she could bust the piano in half. I rate it an UBER job well done ^_^

[Janaaa36]

It´s suicide to play it that fast. Moreover it doesn´t sound that nice. However, it´s very impressive.

[6374L1F3]

If you read the sheets it is played that fast at the end.

[larbox]

That girl has buff arms.

[TomMartinChannel]

lol!!

[lopoalopoalop]

oh i love this song since the 6th grade^^

[Taditotc]

mmmm they are principiants y think so.. keep doing

[MaxxUS08]

Nicely done. Those sixteenth quintuplets are tricky Im sure!

[metellica1015]

it sounds better when it done like rock music!

[lmecca]

Fun piece of music. Made me smile.

[6Baby6]

She starts off way too fast...

[raflim]

On stage everything seems slower for me whenever im performing. Im sure some people probably deal with the samething.

[lightDementor]

hum ... it doesnt happen to me .. all in the real tempo ... better for me it seems ... ^^

[LKC1505]

yep.

[tilatila123]

verrrrrry nice.

sexxy guyy ; )
