Leroy Anderson - The typewriter

arranged by a friend of mine (he plays the piano in this clip).
It was played on an original working typewriter.

If you can, you definately should try this, it's SO much fun to play! :D

It's amazing how leroy anderson was able to take that typewriter and turn it into a musical instrument. That takes talent!

Translation of the female presentator:

- Mechanical or electric/mechanical equipment. With some keys whom you can type letters, often on a sheet, the composer Leroy Anderson, possibly one of the best known composers from USA, use the typewriter as solo instrument in this composition. This will be performed by Arend and Jasper.

@rct3AndstickPerson

he did not. the man on the piano was playing the piano music at the same time the typewriter man was typing the typewriter

@HANSMKAMP He just pressed the same keys on the typerwriter over and over.

Erg leuk, alleen jammer dat het te snel gespeeld wordt, daardoor wordt het hier en daar wat rommelig en daardoor raken de armpjes van de typemachine af en toe in elkaar verward. Net ietsje langzamer en het was perfect geweest!

Could you please send me the sheet music?

@loriann1237 if you had other things to do, you should have thought of that before you went on the net.

I am curious what he actually has typed.

I was 13 years old when I had typing lessons. I heard this song before I participated in the lessons, and I was afraid I had to type as fast as in the song. After all I am a pretty fast typer (300 keystrokes a minute).
