Circus Gallop by Marc-Andre Hamelin

[doratomas]

4:04

WHAT THE FUCK!

[SuperZackle21]

iknow me tooo hahahahahahaha no way mabey there is some one out there

and yeah chuck norris did this song with his toes so did i..

[SuperZackle21]

iknow me tooo hahahahahahaha no way mabey there is some one out there

[MultiAwesomeAndrew]

When the video image showed the hand on the piano, I thought a real human was going to play that song. FAIL

[pklong88]

Chuck Norris did this song. He stared at the piano and it played by itself, hence you can only see the piano here.

[oledcrt]

That's a very nice synth you got there.......

[LlamasOkiAmmaPie]

Y U NO AISIAN

[NeonHighlights]

TROLOOO

[MrHenrySan]

Once unperformable

/watch?v=OokOICA13iw&feature=r­elated

[MrHenrySan]

@MrHenrySan scratch that, it's fake

[webkinzproductionz22]

Hey. >:(

[SagaciousSilence]

Fuck you

[567gamemaster]

dang that song gives me the hib b jee bs that seems impossible to play

[Perseus1401]

This guy fingered a girl, then played this.

[PEULLEOSEU]

Lesson learned : Do not skip through videos with loud ends. ffff-

[JericoWarrz]

Marc-Andre hamelin Played this song himself??!! HIMSELF?? Or there's someone playing this song with him?? OMG CAN SOMEONE ANSWER ME>!

[chrism216]

@JericoWarrz

this piece is unplayable.

what you are hearing is a midi version of it. its a computer playing a file with all the notes.

[DrStrangefate]

@JericoWarrz

I can believe he played this himself.

Watch the vid on youtube of him performing Lizst's Hungarian Rhapsody no.2. In the seriously rapid chromatic parts, his hands look like just a blur. He was truly an amazing pianist.

[lankinator24]

I just imagine a Victorian on crack playing this...

[RawStuffs]

4:06 Anyone else started remembering a tornado there? O_O So scary

[hiehoeha]

chuck norris jokes are getting lame

[steinwaygrande1]

@hiehoeha. Yes indeed I have to agree. Enough is enough to the point that they are no longer funny, let alone amusing.

[hiehoeha]

@steinwaygrande1 and the same is with comments that are being overused, like:"i find this hard to mastrubate to. or: *number* people are *something*. or: the red bar is justin biebers dick size.

it's not funny! and people giving them thumbs up are just ignorant dicks

[OkyDooky]

@hiehoeha Which is why we all thumbs up the best one and thumbs down the rest.

[darrthvader123]

Like if you clicked on this to see the guy who's hand is on the piano play it.

[PianoGirl555]

@darrthvader123 lol thats what i did :))

this is impossible to play!! at least in this speed!!

[MrKarWai]

fk chuck norris == seriously... i see chuck norris name in almost most of the circus gallop piano covers

[TheJosh111b]

someone raped the piano

[Electron64]

@J0P0E his pinky, wtf rU talking about

[KenFilmsHD]

Chuck norris could play this without a piano and without hands

[superjchamma]

@KenFilmsHD quit it with the gay ass chuck norris jokes

[nekuxshiki7]

thumbs up if you waited till the end!

[crystalocean98]

At the risk of getting a million thumbs down...... chuck norris sucks!!!!!!!! he cant even play ode to joy on the piano ¬_¬ let alone this song

[nekuxshiki7]

@crystalocean98 finally someone speaks the truth!!!

[ridiful]

omg at the end when it got really loud i swear i felt like there was a serial killer sneaking up on me

[ilytalym94]

......

[DjPaen]

my ears got raped at 0:00

[Azettler1]

4:00 OMG

[homefry360]

Hardstyle of the era

[UltimateGamers115]

It is preformable... with 100 fingers.

[xIgnox]

Ehh, I know how to play this. Just slam the piano and pray to god that it sounds good...

[BeautifulThrix56]

Last time i played this i broke the piano...........eheh..

[hojen123]

3:39 WTH lol

[bakhirun]

Uproarious! Fab job, neil73. Thanks for the laugh on a worked-out Friday afternoon in Jakarta. The Hamelin pieces is so opulent and techno-crazy, while still shining with classical brilliance. You've done him well.

[neil73]

@bakhirun Cheers!

[crazyteensJHH]

Whoever wrote this had to be on crack...

[F14Lolcat]

@crazyteensJHH Marc-Andre Hamelin did'nt need crack to compose this, just pure genius!

[crazyteensJHH]

@F14Lolcat True, very true. : )

[Avatar1617]

"What in the hell is that noise?!"

"Oh, just the neighbors having sex on their piano again... it gets pretty rowdy"

[Steamboater100]

wtf is with the dead guy?!

[neil73]

@Steamboater100 I put it there as an unexpected surprise in the 'slideshow', to match the unexpected silence in the music. Still, I only did this for a laugh and I don't think the picture is of a real corpse anyway.

[denniesloot18]

@neil73

that corpse scared the fuck out of me xD. you got me man :P.

[KingCharlemagneI]

@neil73 He`s not Dead!!!

[pokemongirl619]

@Steamboater100 when?

[dotoro3]

epic ey... total EPIKNEZZ! ich würde dafür meine wirbelsäule verwetten, dass chuck norris nur 1 finger für dieses komplettes stück braucht XD

[dabaron332]

@jeffjeff2955 hes probably too busy using his total gym or sucking black dick actually

[Tomteh111]

Ich glaub, dass der das wirklich gespielt hat. das liegt doch einfach mal klar auf der Hand :D

Naja ich find das vid besser wo das klavier einfach mal allein das lied spielt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hjiuhfhrehui]

I DEFFENITLY will find 10 other crazy pianists xD. who will play this with me xD/ i bet it can be done on 11 pianos in total xD. im sure it can be done if you take the right preperations and LOTS of time.

[olix9595]

@hjiuhfhrehui *definitely

[jeffjeff2955]

@hjiuhfhrehui im kinda guessing 2 pianists who devote at least 5 years of preperatory excercises, 3 years of prepatory excercise along with playing the piece slowly, and 8 years increasing speed on the piece. then MAYBE you could play it. depending how many extra years after that you practice at medium speed

[hjiuhfhrehui]

@jeffjeff2955 HA.. your wrong my friend. i made a transcription for 11 pianos.

3 people are already taking part in my project.. but your right.. it cant be done without the rest.. but still.. i can play the melody ( right and left ) at full speed ( intro and the main theme )

its a pitty not many people want to take part in the project. and i can not find the people with the right tachnical abilitys who could handle it. so i geuss its not going to happen :( but i stil hope it wil

[HomersimpsoninPortal]

I need to become a ghost so I can haunt pianos with this song.

[MyPercussionLife]

I wanna know why someone wrote this knowing that it would be unplayable >.>

[KatyKatetheLeeKaylee]

@MyPercussionLife probobly because he figured in the a futue a man named Chuck Norris could use this as his warm-up song XD

[sickleandsuckle]

it was for the player piano. meaning it was never meant to played, rather played by a piano itself.

[dabaron332]

chuck norris is a fucking faggot and so are you if you think those jokes are minutely close to humorous. fuck you.

[jeffjeff2955]

@dabaron332 chuck norris will hunt u down and rip your testicles off and shove them up ur ass

[Mastersturm]

@dabaron332 u mad bro?

[Noobish526]

aww... i wanted to see someone play it.... that wouldve been amazing

[trollingify]

Chuck Norris can play this song by looking at the piano

[mewbra123]

chuck norris can play this song with one hand

[HollowSamurai]

@mewbra123 Chuck Norris doesn't have hands. He plays with a FIST.

[MyChemicalJasper483]

I can play this with a dog

[SirVerbose]

The original version of this song was ten minutes long, however, it had to be shortened due to the large amount to exploding pianos.

[liszt141]

@SirVerbose Does a 10 minute version really exist? I'd like to hear or see it, sans the exploding instument.

[Biohazard1997X]

i can play this wit my right cheek....

[opamoeder]

uuuh... how can you play that???

i think it is imposible

[wenroball]

@opamoeder it is!

[demonhuskfang]

@opamoeder that was the purpose marc wanted a song only a player piano could play

[Noobish526]

@demonhuskfang If only a player piano can play it, how did he compose it then?

[demonhuskfang]

@Noobish526 who knows?

[Grimlock361]

@Noobish526 He had the holy city press a button at at time :)

[VladtheImpaler31]

@Noobish526 A true composer composes with theory in his head... do you think composers just sit around playing their music on their instruments and thinking 'WHAT WOULD SOUND GOOD NEXT? :D'. No Those are amateurs that do not know theory. The best composers can do it on their kitchen table without even touching a piano. It's called theory.

[70gman]

@VladtheImpaler31 IMO a "true" composer is someone who writes music to move your heart. There's no "composer code" that defines how one should achieve that goal.

[VladtheImpaler31]

@70gman Have you ever composed a symphony vs. a 4 piece band?

A true composer can utilize theory. A pathetic composer creates something based off of simple rhythms and repeating sounds. I.e. most rock and roll.

[AdrenalineAddict610]

Chuck Norris is able to play this with one finger.

[RoOdKoP61]

@AdrenalineAddict610 and his eyes closed :P

[OrangeSodaKing]

3:21 is hilairous, where the main theme comes back with all the glissandi! HAHA!

[Schipp72]

Whats with the random zombie?

[lewish1114]

And this is what it sounds like when your piano dies. Poor piano..........

[Nerdifierful]

Wow.. look at the lovely piano :)

[xjustdeadthatcrazyx]

Pipe organ or Piano? 1:38

[XxvallchenxX]

sh*t it's so creepy O_O

[RoKkStAr719]

i found out that it would take 5 hands to accurately play this. 5 very talented hands.

[who8mahbacon]

@RoKkStAr719 dont forget more then 1 piano unless the hands are floating ghost hands

[700PurpleYoshi]

@who8mahbacon Call Thing and his family.

[nesjejr]

@RoKkStAr719 i counted 6... And we're talking more than just "very talented" ;)

[gigigood1]

my speakers almost busted

[RonRizzy]

First of all, it's so damned fast, the 16th note chromatic chord runs are totally unmusical. Also, HOLY REVERB....some of the lines in this piece get lost with the reverb.

[erken]

@RonRizzy That's exactly what it is. It's a composition not for people but for midi nickelodeons, player pianos or so . . .

[zignabah]

somebody would die trying to play this

[Electron64]

sound quality on a real piano, doesn't get any better than this.

[thepeacee123]

chuck norris can play this 2x the speed with one finger

[ophelius111]

@thepeacee123 rofl

[wannabetoto]

@thepeacee123 why would you even compare hemlin with someone thats fake? lol thats just plain stupidity

[thepeacee123]

@wannabetoto Why thank you.

[massimiliano123123]

Chuck Norris plays this piece.. not Hanon!

[iambobthebullyJMD]

I THOUGHT SOMEBODY WAS ACTUALLY GONNA PLAY!!!!!! -_-

[laban8tor]

I bet Chuck Norris can play this with his mind

[imcrazee101]

@laban8tor i remember someone told me that chuck norris can play that with his penis

[Electron64]

Chuck norrise's one handed easy warm up

[MrBagelmon]

@Electron64

Then Im afraid to know what he plays in concerts O.o

[Electron64]

@MrBagelmon sooo much presure to me it kills!

[WeLiveToComment]

@Electron64 Not only that, it was the first piano piece he learned, lol.

[Electron64]

@WeLiveToComment lol

[Aran234]

its practice for Chuck Norris xD

[warmonster86]

@Aran234 its not even practice...he plays this for fun

[paulostroff99]

awesome! TY

[zabuzato]

I LOVE LAZORS

[ItsShinyTime]

@ChrisKogos I looked at your song, it's complete shit. At least Circus Galop actually sounds like a good song on top of being ridiculously difficult to play. Your song is just a retarded slew of notes with various profanities thrown in because you think it's funny.

[PokemonRox101]

I love how in the thumbnail the hand is blurred because it's moving THAT fast. :P

[Electron64]

OOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUCCCHHH MY EARS, I OPENED A NEW TAB AND I DIDNT SEE THE SIGHN AND AAA MY EARS , I TOOK THE EARPHONES OUT SCARED THE CRAP OUTTTA ME

[magicnintendo64]

MUSCLE SPASMS

[TheCalvin8tor]

3:20 - laser battle! xD haha i doubt 10 people could play this.... unless of course its chuck norris.

[mesternod]

WTF

[ogicu8abruok0]

fucking love 3:20 with all those glissandos

[ChipsALaChocolat]

Sorry, but until I develop four hands by some radioactive mutation, this place will remain on my ridiculously short "impossible to play list".

GOD, resemble-this a three-year old banging on a piano? That's for damn sure! BANG BANG BANG 1:13 1:11 1:12 1:13 1:11 1:10 OMGGGGG BANG BANG BANG BANG...

[OoohAPurpleTurtle]

unperformable! i can play it with my eyes shut

[pwner4444444]

DA FUCK-FUCKING FUCK?!

[werq34ac]

i can play this with just 3 hands!

[SotaSamakari]

They had this song playing at a piano store on one of those "ghost" pianos. Gotta love self playing pianos.

[taylorpiano123]

i can do this with my eyes closed. why is everyone saying its so hard.

[KattyKatrinaFu]

@taylorpiano123

because its impossible for 1 person to play

[raquer10101]

@taylorpiano123; Because, unlike you, the rest of us were born with two arms, eight fingers, and two thumbs. We can only do so much with what we've got. ;)

So even though you were born with more than two arms, eight fingers, and two thumbs, it dosen't mean that you have to go about blabing it to every ear that can hear. Thank-you, and have a nice day. :)

[dragonscarz13]

I fall on the floor if I try conducting to this.

"How to give a piano an orgasm" For Dummies

[SR0Penne0Brillo]

@vokuheila If anyone could play this with their hands, no doubt you could give anyone, let alone a piano, an orgasm.

[devilax96]

@vokuheila 

[3landon3]

lol, I love the "tee hee"

[lwjoestar]

@HobbleDHoy Did he play this song? Or mention it?

[dadadadasad]

lol:)) if you have 22 fingers you can play this song...:D

[FiddlesticksMcGraw]

@dadadadasad Only wussies use figners. This song's played with toes.

[travelsonic]

@FiddlesticksMcGraw What about fingers, toes, and butt cheeks?

[FiddlesticksMcGraw]

@travelsonic Well if you're going down that road, might as well throw in some ears, teeth, you know what, and a couple asians.

[travelsonic]

I actually want to get a hold of the sheet music for this, get a few friends together, and just try to do this - almost 3-stooges like 3 or 4 guys on 1 piano, but it ought to be entertaining nonetheless.

[giladanon]

@travelsonic XD

@FiddlesticksMcGraw XDXDXD

[lchigoe]

@FiddlesticksMcGraw

ooooo: i can help with the asian part! :D LOL

[QWNZU]

@dadadadasad More than that!! lol.

[mayorde18]

is this composed really by marc andre hamelin??

did he do it in a software or smth?

[lwjoestar]

I don't think they had midi software in 1869...

[mayorde18]

was this composed by marc andre hamelin???

well, I have seen videos by him, so it wasn't probably composed in 1869

[pianist7137]

@mayorde18 Hamelin started working on this piece on June 22nd, 1991 and completed it June 13, 1994.

[DavidAndrewSingleton]

@lwjoestar No but they did have player pianos

[peacehippie999]
