@MrChefangelo Maybe he was reminded of the episode of Tom and Jerry, where Jerry was tormenting Tom while he was trying to play this piece. I know that's what I thought of.
Hey people, if your mommy, daddy or grandma or grandpa or uncle or friend or whomever leaves you an organ or piano keep it long enough to pass it to your own children. They aren't useless heirlooms just because you don't play it. Maybe with pianos it's a little different because perhaps they can continue to be crafted in certain numbers per year, but the electronic organs of the past simply can never be manufactured again to the high standards of the 30's-late 60's. Digital cannot duplicate them
Ha ha ha..now .that's what I call gettin' DOWN!!...great!....put a smile on my face for the day.......Now back to My '59 Hammond....while it's still on it's feet! :-)
over the past decade, more and more pianos have been left on the street. starving and alone. please, call today. your donation can help keep a piano alive. operators are standing by for your call [/informercial]
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow you totally murdered one of Liszt's greatest. Before people say "It was an out of tune legless piano" or whatever, it would still have sounded awful on a tuned, intact piano. Play it well or not at all.
@RowsOfHouses "Play it well or not at all." Last time I checked, if you can play that at all, you're a pretty skilled pianist. Also, I've never done it, but playing a piano that has no legs while in a kneeling position isn't the easiest of activities.
The fact he is murdering it has nothing to do with the fact the piano has no legs. He is rushing, stuttering, and butchering it. I can play it, and I wouldn't really call myself a skilled pianist. It takes a skilled pianist to play the whole thing, properly, not cherry pick the friska out and play it faster than he is capable. I guarantee everyone thumbs-upping you, aswell as yourself, either aren't pianists, or are poor pianists, who can't see how awful this is.
@RowsOfHouses Christ man! He's a kid mucking around with his mates on an obviously broken and out of tune piano not playing with the London Philharmonic. As for you going off at others giving him thumbs up.. They see what you don't. Something called F.U.N.
@RowsOfHouses It's not the fact that the piano has no legs, it's the fact that he's playing it while kneeling down. I've only been playing the piano since probably October of 2010, so I don't even consider myself a pianist. I do however, consider myself a trumpeter, seeing as how I've played the trumpet since I was ten. Any musician, good or bad, should be able to tell that he is enjoying himself, and that's all that matters. I may not be good at playing the piano, but I enjoy it. So fuck off.
@saber7jrs lol oh shit I got told. My point is simple; this is typical of certain players, they take something far above their own ability, rush it, miss notes, stop and start, and only learn the "cool" parts they heard on Tom and Jerry, then post a video on the internet, to which pianists facepalm and to which the rest of youtube laps up like dogs on heat. All of the above has nothing to do with the fact he is kneeling down. That won't affect him rushing, stopping, missing notes.
@RowsOfHouses I dunno, I'm a pianist and a piano that's beat up, out of tune, w/ crappy action(?) and no legs forcing me to kneel would definitely cause me to miss notes, stop, etc. Rushing does increase the likelihood of mistakes but as acheface mentioned he's having fun not playing for a professional orchestra. I'm sure you view it as some kind of degradation of the classical genre, and I understand this view, but intent is just as important as what's played. A musician should know that.
@RowsOfHouses Sorry, I just resent anybody degrading the joy of simply playing, lumping all piano players together and speaking for me. You, sir, have caused me to facepalm.
@JWalkey I love simple playing too. But if you want to simple play, don't take a 10-minute-long epic Rhapsody, pick out your favourite few lines and bastardise them. Simple as that really. The reason my comments are completely lost on the uploader and others hating on me is because they probably don't recognise the piece (and the classic that it is) that the lad is clearly *trying* (and failing) to play. Title this vid with Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 and watch what happens when musicians watch it.
@RowsOfHouses I recognize the piece, I've played it before. It's a beautiful piece. But when you find a piano on the side of the road, you don't exactly have time to prepare a piece in its entirety. Nor do you necessarily want to. He wanted to try the piano out, a few lines from an epic Rhapsody popped into his head (probably from Roger Rabbit or another cartoon that only included the Fresca), and he tried it out. Nothing wrong with that.
@RowsOfHouses Your comments aren't lost on everybody, otherwise we wouldn't even bother responding. But you seem to be going under the notion that Classical music only belongs to those who are learned, driven to perfection, or take in Classical from "pure" sources. That kind of mentality is why so many people stop learning piano or only parts of works. Classical is just another genre of music, and music should be enjoyed by those that can enjoy it. It's not simple at all, really.
@saber7jrs You have GOT to be kidding! He's playing Hungarian Rhapsody # 2 ( you ,know Lizst, probably the most greatest musicain that ever lived), ON HIS KNEES, ON A BROKEN PIANO, cut the guy some slack- puleeezzee!!!!
Old, out of tune pianos sound good with the right kind of music. I agree, I hope you took it home, or to shop class (if schools still even have shop class anymore).
I can't stop laughing at this video! What are the chances you find a grand piano laying in a ditch, and you have someone who can play along? This seems like something you'd see in a cartoon.
Pretty dang good....considering the piano being played looks like it was left over from the Civil War! Kudos, young man! If I find an abandoned piano outside my home on the ground or in the street, you can come over & play it any old time! :)
