The force is strong with this one...

[loderunner]

these are the spots where I could spot clear fragments of the theme: 0:15 0:38 0:59 1:20 2:10 2:29 2:43 -- and that's in his right hand only.

@pchantreau Okay, sorry I got a bit snotty.

[pchantreau]

@flaggerify Sorry about the tone. I watched a number of these vids and had you confused with a rude commenter

[pchantreau]

@flaggerify The theme is present throughout the piece, in various forms, sometimes fragments, or just the more important intervals. I've been playing music for 20 years. I hear the theme throughout the piece, it's there. Pay attention and you'll hear it.

@pchantreau I've been listening to classical music for 25 years, and have enjoyed "simple" works (eg. Bach's keyboard works, Mahler 6, Tristan etc,) that makes this pastiche sound like the cornball kitsch that it is. So spare me the patronizing tone, please.

[pchantreau]

@Zartan11 If you can't hear the theme in its many occurrences throughout the improvisation, then perhaps you're not as qualified as you think to comment about the piano tuning.

[pchantreau]

@flaggerify because you weren't paying enough attention or there were just too many notes for you. Stick to the simple stuff if you don't like this.

@Zartan11 I don't know why people leave comments just to be negative, especially if they are as ill-informed as you are. But that's YouTube for you. Here's this guy with quite amazing talent who you are lucky to see, and I guess you think it makes you sound smart to turn up here and bitch about it. Actually the theme is perfectly evident throughout, sometimes in the left hand, and in the "descending 4th" motif that appears a lot. If you don't have any musical perception, keep quiet!
