Gattaca OST - Impromptu for 12 fingers

[MrOctopus16]

The intro sounds like a classical version of questions by Manfred Mann

I love this piece and the wierdness the pianist adds to this already elitist society.

[Ambient1100]

I can play this with my two hands and my dick...

[Chrome9129]

MIDI?

[GeorgieGirl1313]

People who have 12 fingers are called "polydactyl". Believe it or not, it is a dominant trait.

[whenthekingsfall]

@GeorgieGirl1313 but the way to get it is something undisired

[Bawadari]

The first part 0:00-0:16 reminds me of a different classical piece but I cant name it. So desperate to know.

[icanthelpbuthear]

@Bawadari Franz Schubert's "Impromptu in G-flat Major, Op. 90, No. 3

[AnArchaeopteryxBand]

@Bawadari could be Love's Dream by Franz Liszt? ; )

[fightinside1]

12 fingers? creepy...

[NorthForkFisherman]

@fightinside1 Not so much. It's actually the dominant allele in humans. It's just that there are so many recessives out there that the effect is drowned out.

[1984Feliz]

This song was actually played by 2 pianists for the movie Gattaca, so you probably couldn't even play it with 12 fingers!

[EnragedSephiroth]

How would a piece with 4 arms/20 fingers sound? Nocturne in the Moonlight: Cursed Prison anyone?

[shenaniganster]

its very possible to play with 10 fingers

[anything4what]

"Twelve fingers or one, it's how you play."

-

"That piece can only be played with twelve."

[aprilbernabe]

does this really have to be played with 12 fingers??

if it does... then does the person who actually played this piece... have TWELVE working fingers??

..... thats cool :)

[TimeFreeze1]

@aprilbernabe it could've been two people :P

[silencesings]

i don't think it really matters if the plus 2 fingers help or not; it's just a symbol of a new gene-mutated generation of musicians. Why do 95% of people on youtube have to find things to prove the mistakes of great things? Yes, everything has fucking mistakes, but guys, get a life and create your own Gattaca,and develop yourselves to play it with your great plus idontknowhowmany IQ-points. Kisses

[RemovdSande11]

what a complete nonsense to add random notes to this masterpiece, haha . This can''t be serious... must have been because of copyright issues ?

[reeka411]

@RemovdSande11

i think the idea of having a 12 fingered character overcame the audacity of changing an original pieace :) but they both sound great in their own way, i feel

[CossacksChampion]

heavenly music !

[BreakfastShark]

spiritaway5177 is right. If you studied Schubert's Impromptu 90/3, you can tell this is clearly a 3-hander. It's basically schubert's impromptu chopped in half, then tack on a 4th melody a couple octaves above the main RH melody. An extra 2 fingers are not gonna help anyone here, you'll need another person for it.

[Hapcelion]

did they really have some 12 fingered guy play this? cause that's awesome

[HLimmen]

@Hapcelion yes they did hapcelion, yes they DID.

[hhoollaa999]

can i down;oad this anywhere? cant fing it

[Cute15tricia]

@hhoollaa999 just go to videomp3.net and copy the url..:)

[maizemaniac21]

Wouldn't it be cool if someone would play the "10-fingered version" (haha) and just have an accompanist do the 2 other fingers' parts? That would be awesome

[acideye010]

flatfoot!!

[OuchByGriff]

i just spent hours looking for this sheet music. i guess this version was never made to the public er something... er never put down. damn... what i wouldnt give to have the sheet music for this. maybe i could just learn the Schubert version and figure out the extra notes in the 12 finger. grr too much work. but hella worth it

[spiritaway5177]

I think you need another hand to play this version, not another pair of fingers... I play this Schubert piece with 10 fingers, but the additional notes here are just impossible with just 2 more fingers. Unless you're Liszt, or you're 12 fingers can stretch like mad.

[OuchByGriff]

too amazing!!

[xlweapons]

This version forver reminds me of Jude Law yelling "I'm getting off this ball of dirt!"

[naruto4ever66]

@xlweapons "HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME? WHAT'S YOUR NUMBA? WHAT'S YOUR NUMBA!?"

[olive1913]

@naruto4ever66 that quote fit the movie pretty good indeed...i've seen the movie now for the sixth or seventh time, and its always a top notch of entertainment

[bluecobalt27]

I'd like to bet either Liszt or Rach could have had a go at playing this version. :P

[skiie]

This piece is no match for my 2 finger chopstick piece.

[GeeksNeedLoveToo]

@skiie

that made me lol

[froghugger217]

this is really pretty

[bjom77]

beautiful music and beautiful irony for a 12 finger impromptu, which was obviously played by someone with 10 fingers, perhaps 2 people.... I'm not a pianist. But this is remarkable, and gattaca incredible

[kyleclef]

its 2 people. i play this piece, and its impossible to play those high parts with only 10 fingers haha.

[souldap100]

spiritaway5177 is right, one more finger on every hand wouldn't be enough for sure.

[kyleclef]

no it wouldn't, there are 2 pianists playing this, one playing the original composition by schubert, and someone playing with 2 fingers high bits over the top.

[spiritaway5177]

I'm pretty sure you need another hand, not two more fingers. It's busy enough playing Schubert's original.

[hollowman9514]

Its not possible with 10, I tried it. But then I taped 2 sausages to my hands to simulate fingers, and I could play it fine.

[sibalnom]

ahhahahaha

[theMerghe]

"Effects were added in digitally to simulate fingers 11 and 12. I don't think its possible to actually play this version." by AlternativeUses. but u should try it.

[myco578]

bet i could play it without 12 lol

[kyleclef]

no you couldn't ok, its impossible, the original by schubert requires all 10

[acrabadra]

so beautiful
