[drumguy73]

I can play this song on xylofone, but not so fast as he do!

[Sunflowers159]

LOL! That's a great performance! I've often heard that piece of music but I've never seen it performed. I suppose most performances have percussion to simulate the sounds so having a real typewriter on stage is fun Reminds me of those pieces written for vacuum cleaners and food mixers that were popular in the 50s and 60s.

[Diediedunichkennst]

das ist echt gail XD

[A1M9A9L8I]

XD that is so cool

[reubensandwich]

Brilliant thank you for sharing!!

[ebsheltiemama]

It's a Jerry Lewis skit.

[PEBBLESMALO]

xD

[bol7]

Throw away all our Microsoft keyboards, we gotta get Olivetties!

[cidspimms]

Leroy Anderson was brilliant; and this version is spot on, many can't keep the pace. For an excellant copy try Erich Kunzel and The Cincinnati Pops, it was used on an episode of Warehouse 13, "Where or When"

Pure musical comedy at its best.

Genius!

this is so funny, and creative. i like how he takes the table with him afterwards :D

[saintmirrenmalky]

The gentleman is a genius.  I didn't know Steinway made typewriters. :)

[MrTactless42]

Genius.

Yes! You need an Olivetti to do this.

[tigerdj1]

For another fun version, search "Freeze Dried Typewriter"!

[rsp196607]

I misread "Viennese percussionist" as "Vietnamese percussionist"!

[ozboomer]

Fantastic! I first heard the tune via the Jerry Lewis bit.. and I then heard an orchestral version sometime in the '90s. This is the first time I've seen it actually performed. Thanks a Heap! for posting it :)

[waldolala1964]

I want to have the written text

[gerryu21220]

Cool! The first one I've seen that's at the right tempo!

[DoctorJK3]

It's nice to see his music taken seriously. It was fun; some of it was also deep like "Forgotten Dreams".

[mattasil1]

[BurnhamFan14]

I love Leroy Anderson! This guy was a genius! Hahaha I just wish someone would post a video of the choir version of buglers holiday. Were doing it in my chorus class at school and I love it :) it's going to be difficult to learn though.

[docjommd]

thank you 1950's! Your decade has the very best collection of songs.

[imperatorjulian]

@gunitindaclub : the machine would hang up by typing the letters l and o in this speed: it is more a lalala :D

[cedricsamson]

I heard this piece live many years ago and could never forget it. So creative and soooo funny!

Thanks for posting it.

[PsychedelicGabriel]

LOL

[procrazedfan]

I saw this on Mary and Max. Epic use of a typewriter

[AvePrime]

Desconozco la partitura. Al final parece que falla en tocar la tecla de campana, es un fallo o es intencional?... no soy quisquilloso solo curioso.

I dont know the sheet music of this piece, anybody can say me if the missing bell at ~ 1:46 its intencional? or just a mistake

Music is "The Typewriter" by Leroy Anderson (June 29, 1908 – May 18, 1975).

[Balbycute]

This somehow made me laugh

[zatouiti32]

神業！

[bobbydimarzio]

My father was a percussion guy. He banged on my mother to make a sound. :)

[UltraPrimus]

I Wonder What he was writing

@joe133322 Here's your host, saaaaaandy toksviggg!!!

[harrycastle1]

This was written for the National Children's Orchestra of Great Britain. I have had the pleasure of playing it with them :)

[hahpetcare]

percussion guys are so weird, they will bang on anything to make a beat...

[lostinmusic89]

super awesome typewriter

[hahpetcare]

@lostinmusic89 I know right, It would be cooler if it were piiiink though

[stevey226]

@Kai2oo6 The triangle... Are you going to claim that's a pitched instrument too?

I'm a classically trained pianist of coming up to 10 years now. I have my grade 8 piano, I have an ATCL. I've worked with orchestras. I'm routinely down at the Albert Hall watching concerts. I'm in a very strong position to tell you that you are, in fact, wrong. The only thing you've taught me is that you know practically nothing about classical music or orchestras. Thanks for such mature comments too.

[stevey226]

@Kai2oo6 Tapping you shoe in the floor is an example of a rhythmical difference.

Pressing the key slowly as in the key would not hit hard on the typewriting making it quieter. That's dynamics not pitching.

Do you not understand what a pitched instrument is? Do some research then come back to me...

[stevey226]

@Kai2oo6 It's quite clear here that you do not understand much, if anything, about orchestral percussion (Despite the typewriter not being an official member of the family).

Also, I still don't see why you're saying one can pitch her or her own voice etc... Irrelevant.

Go back to your dance megamix's or w/e it is you listen to. Clearly you're not educated in orchestral music.

[hihuy3]

i'd like to see what he typed on that paper...

[Blubber4444]

Ich würde gerne ma wissen was genau da am Ende drauf steht, seine Steuererklärung? :p^^

[stevey226]

@Kai2oo6 On a type write the only way you can get it to sound different is if you press it slowly, which wasn't allowed in this piece. Also a computer keyboard is completely different to a typewriter.

Also, it seems you haven't caught onto the concept of pitched instruments. The typewriter is NOT a pitched instrument that's a fact. End of. Learn a bit about orchestra percussionist before looking like an idiot. Also, the child thing was irrelevant as neither he or the typewriter were singing.

[greenapple1010]

Awesome!!!!!

soooo great!!!!!

[Altotto1103]

This is what I call music! great.

[stevey226]

@Kai2oo6 He's a percussionist. He was keeping in time with the orchestra *Facepalm*. It's not exactly as if the typewriter is a pitched instrument.

[jjkaraokepro]

How did he get the typewriter to ding?

[qwertyTRiG]

@jjkaraokepro Many typewriters have a bell for when you press the return/new line key.

TRiG.

And after he was done with the song, he finished writing The Brothers Karamazov.

Spectacular performance.

[Vmaxjorge]

you can almost see Tom chasing Jerry between the musical instruments....

[nellie2581]

My favorite. The French comedian recreated this scene very well. That is why I want a typewriter. I used to have one, til it broke

[Nintega94]

This is how the letters in Monty Python are written.

[ByeTeddy]

Pfft. Amateur performance at best.

He completely missed the capital M in the recapitulation.

[kittysusca]

You can tell this man is a percussionist.I never saw the typewriter handled better than that!

[goodandplenty508]

@kittysusca I agree 100%. The only people out there who can play this piece well are percussionists. His sense of rhythm was great.

[galasapi2010]

canteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eek

[jarabaa]

Tears in my eyes ... from laughter and nostalgia. Leroy Anderson! A great name when I was a boy in the US - a long time ago. Anyhow, I was just talking to a young lady about the "days of typewriters" when suddenly there was that name "Leroy Anderson" - and the tune, of course - in my head. And thanks to Youtube, within minutes I could rediscover it and enjoy it (totally!) once again, after all these years. Nach all den Jahren. So ein Genuss. Tausend Dank! Gruss aus England.

[Rallestudio]

Love it!

[TheJunebug1218]

I heard this on NPR and i loved it. I think it is the coolest piece ever!

[Stefanogam]

WOW FANTASTIC!!! Applauses from Italy! : )

[Zvukimorya]

the best performance!thank you!

[MrLandy321]

@eltfell schau mal beim klingen auf die Rechte Hand bei jedem klingeln, so glaube ich, drückt er auf eine Klingel die rechts neben der Schreibmaschine versteckt steht.

Ansonsten sau geiles Video.

[JustDyinHere]

I can Imagine him typing "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­"

[BlimpyBoy]

@JustDyinHere It's a very passionate love letter - "xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo"

[eltfell]

Ich kenne das so, daß die Glocke nur erklingt, wenn das Ende der Zeile erreicht ist. In den anderen Aufnahmen hier auf Youtube wird deshalb vom Solisten im richtigen Moment eine separate Glocke angeschlagen. Hier scheint aber keine separate Glocke auf dem Tisch zu stehen. Wie läuft das hier? Sonderfunktion in der Schreibmaschine?

[taflocks]

jewrry lewis did a much better job with this.

[rainedog87]

whoa! I love it! :D

refreshingly nice, enjoyable performance!

[altorff]

Super! Gegen das Verrutschen hilft eine kleine Unterlegematte, oder auch die Gummigitter, die man zu nämlichem Zweck unter Teppiche legt. freundlichen Gruss

[Ninatv2007]

I do not speak English, so I translate with a dictionary. Sorry if I misspelled my comment.

Human talent knows no bounds. This is an excellent musician "typewriter" when interpreting a classic with an instrument that did not exist at the time the work was created.

I have seen playing music from your finger along the edge of several glasses of water, blowing through hollowed-out vegetables, tones for cell phones, etc., but this is new to me. I really liked and made me smile.

Greetings.

[Blarmoshlashkin]

The typewriter better be kept around in the future so this piece can be played.

[MusicalPantomime]

Great performance!!! What type/model of typewriter was used in the performance?

[martinbrei123]

@MusicalPantomime It is an Underwood 450 Travel Model from the 50s.

[MrBubBa13]

nice choice.

[Monopoly907]

@martinbrei123 what was he typing?

[ginnungagap3]

@Monopoly907 easy one... he was typing "iwiowiosaisaisaisduhwduiwuwus­jskjskmcsjksaisadiwiwkljsksdkl­ssksksksksklskskadsioiwiowwiks­nasjsjsjsjsajsajsusausdussusis­isisis"

GREAT EXCEPTIONAL 

[WaterCrane]

That has got to be the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! There is something romantic about the classic typewriter and its characteristic sound, as I'm sure Leroy Anderson agrees.

[catrostu]

"Mum, i don't want the drumset" - "So what do you want then?" - "I want a typewriter!!"

[ninjabluewings]

Now That's Just AWESOME! PERFECT TIMING! I Must Say These Typwriters Have To Be Very Well Oiled For Something Like This, Can You Imagine Trying This Song On A Old Unserviced One MAJOR FAIL!

[louswire]

Top marks... very well done!

[IFStravinsky]

Now that the typewriter has been superseded by the home computer, this may be thought of as a period-instrument performance.

[martinbrei123]

@IFStravinsky Exactly

[WSenator1]

@IFStravinsky - Well, maybe. In a Tim Allen-Jaime Lee Curtis movie, "Christmas with the Kranks," this song was used as background music - while Allen was using his computer.

[IFStravinsky]

@WSenator1 A computer would be a modern-instrument performance ... Much as Bach never imagined the sound of the large-scale piano, I doubt Anderson ever imagined the sound of the Mac. The most advanced he ever got was probably a Smith-Corona electric. ;)

[Satchmoeddie]

@IFStravinsky I suppose no more so or less so that those Baroque ensembles with gut strings and other "antiquated" forms of woodwind and brass instruments. I still have 3 typewriters but alas the Selectric has no carriage return, nor can I cue the bell. I have made gut strings at my uncle's sheep ranch. Its not anything that turned out very great, but I do respect the high price of a good set now. Its not my fav Anderson piece, but its still a very fun one to hear every so often.

[27lafee]

this is so fun!!

listen to the Atonement soundtrack by dario marinelli for more typewriter music!

[giacomozart]

Super!

:-D

[Jk12326]

i just watched this in music class a couple days ago and i couldnt stand it until i got home that day so i could look it up and hear it again. it is a really original song because it has a typewriter in it. i bet no one else thought of having this kind of writing apparatus in an orchestra song. this song blew my socks right off my feet.

[martinbrei123]

@EuskaltelEuskadi Thanks for your comment and have a lot of fun with the Anderson compositions. Best regards from Vienna Martin Breinschmid

[Susi0000]

What exactly was he typing?



[Daegoreth]

altough he misses one note :p

on the section between 1.46 to 1.50 you can see him touching four times and you only hear 3 times that noise "plim" ( the problem is on 1.48 )

[raquelhao21]

@Daegoreth good catch!

I think that the Typewriter was introduced in the music by the Argentines Comediants "Les Luthiers" under tne name of "Dactilófono" (in Spanish)...Find it under the tags "Les Luthiers"-Tango-Dactilófono-Pi­eza en forma de tango.
