Lang Lang plays Chopin black keys etude with orange

[Martykun36]

I'm an orange and I find this offensive

[MOMOAT19]

I saw this one before on Happy Camp ....Very cool ! 郎朗真的很棒 喜欢！

[Taslak]

you can say he's crazy (a touch off his rocker) and say you don't like the way he plays (completely understandable), but it's nonsensical to call him a bad pianist. easy to say hiding behind a youtube screen name but he'd make you look like a chump in person. and here, as is the usual for lang lang, he is just having fun.

[siebennulleins]

LVL: asian. classic

[james42681]

retarded



[69lmv]

he must be play with his fingers because he plays as an asshole. He's so mediatic but he's not a good pianist !!!

[martinadler73]

This hurts physically.

[pianoplayeruk]

@martinadler73

Especially if you happen to be an orange.

[RandomCoked]

I CAN DO THAT TOO. PAH.

[Dihelson]

The greatest funny pianist after Victor Borge. He makes on purpose to show pentatonic scale of F#. great!

[7777bigjim]

that about sums this guy up

[elpianista11]

Yuja wang is younger and is better than lang lang

[PertinaciousOne]

Fucking hell -- just lighten up people. He's having a bit of fun.

[dprice112]

how do u not like that

[bobgilmore43]

This is an old old trick and lots of pianists have done it better.

[knightLynderic]

Ι dont like that man.....

[Maggienette]

jerkkk

and a concert of this guy costs more than 300 pounds?

I don't get it.

[SmithSolver]

How about TWO oranges?

[MrGarwynlinnell]

wat a douche...

[December10th2010]

NOT!

[Ulquilily4568]

Lol but i think it's too fast

[kirkusinthecircus]

This does great injustice to this piece; this stunt is not even done skillfully but seems to simply parody and mock the "Black Keys" nature of the etude.

[worlddominationful]

@kirkusinthecircus Perhaps so if it was done at a concert or at a serious performance. But I don't see why pianists can't try fun and interesting things and have fun haha

[frjose2007]

really nice LOL

[riggermortisify]

He should try it with new genetically modified fruit. What's it called again? Oh yeah! The stop being a twatberry.

[dangibbs91]

WITH AWRANGE

[4lycanthrope4]

blasphemy!!! I agree with @katbullar

[katbullar]

he should take this orange and put straight up into his a**.

[mikejr41387]

sounds like pentatonic chinese crap!

[MrCalendarboy]

the orange does not hit the white keys as it is so big.like him to try with a grape !

[AdobeFox356]

I can do this with TWO oranges... but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[kevalenoxx]

oooraange



[1Thompsonmusic]

Is it me, or is Lang Lang purposely patronizing in these youtube videos?

[1Thompsonmusic]

Any pianist can do that.

[30inventionman]

fu lang lang

[NGstalagmite]

the orange bit blended with the rest of him.... it just looks like a round hand O_O

[imsohornynwet]

Wawww

[MrAx10]

AND THIS IS WHY LANG LANG IS SO LOVED!! His understanding of bringing joy and humor to people through music is outstanding! In addition he is one of the kindest persons on earth!

[1Thompsonmusic]

@MrAx10

Please refrain from posting bullshit.

[1Thompsonmusic]

@MrAx10

You are officially the biggest bullshitter on youtube.

[Yondaymekage]

pro

[TMiKiLLZoMbieZ]

Pause it then drag back to the start- Holy shit whats on head !?!?

[yuanyi1993]

hahah.... how I love his humor!

[OrbvsTomarvm]

A bit 'Cringey'?...

[nakedmambo]

@OrbvsTomarvm A lot cringey. When a pianist is more known for pulling idiotic faces, you just know his playing will be indistinguishable from many others without the pictures.

[OrbvsTomarvm]

@nakedmambo I have to be honest here, I think technique-wise, he has the potential easily to fit into anyone's top ten/five etc. And there's certain things he does that; speaking from an amateur pianists point of view, quite honestly take my breath away. Unfortunately, and as you quite correctly indicated, he appears to have another agenda entirely. Whether its notoriety, individuality or just plain old attention seeking I don't know.

[OrbvsTomarvm]

@nakedmambo But for pitys sake, its only piano playing - and it does make him look a bit silly sometimes. Infact, in a way, the only thing he is mocking is his own lucky (in a hard earned way) talent. He might tone it.

[OrbvsTomarvm]

@nakedmambo ...down.

[Maggo309]

Made in China

[kirinlager49]

Laugh: "ahow how how"

BTW I thought it was lame

[AphoticMist]

@kirinlager49 u r lame

Use your forehead next time IDIOT

PINEAPPLE VERISON

[waterdragon4320]

[94jmcorrea]

CLOWN!

[1Thompsonmusic]

fake phony calculating chink

[thexproxnoob]

I bet he got laid with the camera girl right after that

[ImAGrateSpellr]

sounds the same

[arondrusek]

@guylees

do you even know who Lang Lang is?

[guiyees]

i mean.. that sounds like SHIT.. really.. not even close to black keys..

[06moca1]

@guiyees no shit...

[Dante121892]

That was really good!! :D

[GeckoOcean]

OHHHH MYYYY A GOOWWWWDDDDDD

[williamilfy]

- -!

[YDellMe]

YOU LOOKED RETARD Mr BANG BANG!

[Grobanite122549]

HOW D:

XD

[itsjustnopinionok]

It did have a ring of sorts to the Black Key.

[PBGOGO123]

不愧是中國第一琴魔 = =||| 猛

[jw20002]

Sweet!!!

[PaulThePuppetier]

this man rocks xD

[sergeyyak]

sucks!!!

[iif5]

He's funny.

[gsarci2011]

why didn't he complete the whole piece?

[MrHeyheyhey27]

@gsarci2011 Because actually playing the whole thing with an orange is fucking insane. Maybe after a looong time of practice, somebody could do that...

[PowerMetalFan1]

@MrHeyheyhey27 that's impossible

[MrHeyheyhey27]

@PowerMetalFan1 Lang Lang probly could :D

[xxxkev9]

Awesome!!!!!

[adamkent8]

try it with a strawberry?

[aznlawrenzo]

The annoying orange strikes again!

this time it's not even annoying anymore

[legitlion1]

do it with your butt

[asktheNBAguru]

This is silly...

[hkjkdsifu]

Amazing!

[peacelin1]

cool



[MrRudetski]

I demand the watermelon version !!!!!!!

[AttyEK]

@MrRudetski haha!!! Best comment ever

[Dante121892]

@MrRudetski Bet that he'll do good on that one too! lmbo!!

[BJWoodcock]

@MrRudetski SURELY............... he should have played it with a "mandarin"??

;)

[st1k]

@BJWoodcock BA DUM TSSSS

[invisible1026]

LOL

[ThePVGS1]

Sick and tired of the rude people below. Will be reported for spam. Please refrain from making pointless comments and say nothing if you don't have anything kind to say. Thank-You-Very-Much!

[paraibafrancine]

Fun.

[cutepossession]

fuck up

[dammitdepinna]

This man is an idiot! Historically, Chopin pieces are never played with citrus fruits! The etudes, especially, are meant to be played with apples.

[xDejahx]

@dammitdepinna I love this comment lol

[Ithinkyoureramazing]

@dammitdepinna Hahahah you just made me laugh so hard. Bravo

[brackpersian]

show off.

[DICACIO1]

it would sound a lot better and softer with orange juice...besides, the hardened orange was rarely used by Chopin, well....not until he started having arguments with his bitchy banjo playing landlord ;)

[hi5mi]

haha the comments here make this video even funnier xD.But yeah this is awsome^^

[TetezuiAnimations]

asian

[KaySayNg]

@TetezuiAnimations no really sherlock ? care to tell us your recent discoveries as well ?

[TetezuiAnimations]

@KaySayNg I related that this man is very talented with one single word. I am not curious about your ridicule, thanks

[asktheNBAguru]

@TetezuiAnimations Talented? More like no childhood and 24/7 practising and his entire life dedicated to piano

[ImSoEgo]

@asktheNBAguru Stop showing off your sarcasm to other people's talent if you can't do it,you're making no sense.

[asktheNBAguru]

@ImSoEgo I met this guy in person in Manahattan in one of his book signings and he was pretty arrogant. Also, I can play this Black keys etude myself. I am not doubting his ability, but it doesn't make him look good if he's a professional.

[sidewinderxx]

@asktheNBAguru as opposed to snide comments on youtube which are a far better use of your life

[bubblegum1wannabe]

i play that with two oranges in my hand

[star123753]

annoying orange in action ;D!

[manuelspcool]

sin duda alguna Chopin se esta revolcando en su tumba =$

[animefan294]

LMAO!!!!! hahahaha i can't stop laughing!!!!!!

[IceLemon139]

he scared the hell outta me when he suddently started playing

[kohavcheli]

Je pense qu'il fait cela avec un instrument assez bon, dommage. Il faut qu'il mange maintenant cet orange! Bon app!

[karzoff]

stupid

[techhead1235]

@karzoff your stupid- i bet you cant do that for your life

[trschaefer]

Great sense of humor!!!  Ha!!

[AMWULF]

pause at :19

[KillianLawlor]

At least he's no a dull snob like some of them!, Lang lang has humor and is a prodigy

[MySuperstar09]

All those hours of practicing, u need to find humor I guess to keep oneself focused.. lol.

[YSFmemories]

Amazingly, while searching for an analysis on the black keys etude, I came across this article, dated 2008 O_O

online.wsj dot com/article/SB1226705815429297­69.html

who came first?

[pogface]

hey! how did you get my video? LOL

[CYYZspotter]

@pogface heyyy..this is yours/??? lol i litterly found it on limewire ages ago...and put it on here ahahaha...sorrry!!! btw im responding on my other account...please feel free to check it out and suscribe as i will do the same to you :)

[phongv]

50 ppl are fucking annoying oranges :))

[ruckaisawesome]

even with an orange, he still sounds better then i do..

[Papahitas]

I'm sure this ugly lemon-face has another orange in his butt.

[TheSabs33]

@Papahitas putain mais SALE CHIASSE DE MERDE AU MULTICOMPTE, mais t'en as apres tout le monde ma parole???t 'es vraiment qu 'un sale raciste degenere du bulbe, aucune intelligence!!!!!sale connard va, tu ne vaux pas mieux que la merde que tu chies tous les matins.....

[1Thompsonmusic]

@Papahitas

That wouldn't be an orange mate. That would be his head. Of course, most of the human race can't get that far up their own arse.

[LetTheKidderKid92]

ahahah this guy is funny :]

[Botchlae]

He's actually using his face to play not an orange.

[superactive300]

what a BAMF

[MrYou2ber]

Chopin is crying in heaven. Not in a good way.

[permatroll]

@MrYou2ber only i can haz

[kaisi]

Geez what a mess lol

[ace666999]

SHOW OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[wynnepiano]

I Like Lang Lang's vision with Orange, great idea for good rounded and tall hand position for piano students. Great techic teaching in fun way. For anyone who think different, try it yourself, it is not that easy to hold an orange without tension, and still able to play as musical :) I think his personality, energy, his knowledge is great for any lesson and masterclass,

[yansprachen23]

how about a.........giant pumpkin?

[bsd300d]

What a fucking retarded moron.

[Jamesdude2000]

That sounded fucking awful

[BringItOnXD]

@rodrigomg25 and @PianoBart958

you guys seriously need to get a sense of humor yeah whatever he played a song with an orange big woop it was by chopin if chopin were still alive i recon he would of laughed at it !!!!

[TheSingingCello]

it's not much different from how it sounds when he tries to play it

[PianoBart958]

He's just making a fool of chopin. fuck him. He's such a childish little amateur.

[rodrigomg25]

@PianoBart958 Totally agree

[FoziCoD]

Now, try with a watermelon.

[MaslAlek]

fuck lang lang!

[5883joy]

why you mouth is disgusting？

[pacrijna]

I dare him to get a pineapple...

[KarrotKun1]

It didn't sound as good as I remembered it.

[fr3d420]

41 people forgot to wear a smile

[poolte007]

after this we all have one question for you almighty virtuso... can you play that with an.... ^^.... AN APPLE ^^

[semme01]

that was actually funny..

[Strav9]

Why are musicians so crazy?

is that what makes them good?

well, lots of my friends are musicians, and believe me, all of them are way different then "normal people" you see

[yusuke11367]

lol

[DunzYouMessWithMePho]

The video paused to buffer from the sheer intensity when he started playing.

[LoftyProduction]

He's a Maverick pianist in a sense. People don't like him because he's not what you'd typically expect from a pianist. I.E stuck up, pompus upperclass musical snob. He is talented, there is no escaping that. I have other recordings that I prefer sure, but I don't HATE, someone I know nothing about. It's time for people to grow up I think. That's my two cents.

[MukudaiYoshiyuki]

Nothing more than a caricature of today's musician.

[MukudaiYoshiyuki]

He is neither an Artist nor a musician.

[rameefied]

lmaoo! im gonna try this HAHA

[sensibleshawnhb]

Fabulous! A great showman and pianist. My deep appreciation for Lang-Lang is that he interprets the works of the great romantic composers with the great romantic emotion they deserve.

[urielcamano]

chomaso, malisimo...

[MsMasterdarklord]

lol, cette etude on ne la joue que sur les touches noires a la mains droite^^ plus facile avec une orange^^

mais sympa^^

[awoyoshix]

34 don't like oranges. or asians.

[assindiastignani]

Oh come on girls, lighten up!! How can anyone criticize this? It's hilarious, very witty, and shows exactly what is so delightful and charming about this man. Whether you like him or not (I personally am not a particular fan) he is a wonderful pianist and a major talent of our times.

[dacorsua]

what if Horowitz would have a video of him playing with an orange? would you call him a clown? Or is it because he's chineese,... specify please,... haha

[totalannihilator99]

Cheap chinese clown.

[gunzcs2]

THE PPL WHO SAY HIS MUSIC SHIT OR WAD IS SHIT!!!!!!!! PLAY BETTER THAN HIM BEFORE U SAY THIS!!!!!!!!!

[chaddyaniwcellist]

no.

[chopin65]

All these years I have just been eating them! What a fool I am! Bravo sir!

[slyx94]

Let's see Annoying Orange's face now! Ain't so annoying is it?!

[hohohee1]

yeap .. his an actor which captivates the audience.. his sound quality sucks massive d*** compared to a real musical genius like Horrowitz ..
