The Virtuoso - a new years concerto

NEW version of this hit!
pictures modernised, text of "Neujahrskonzert" displayed.
The founder of cartoons - the german author Wilhelm Busch who began drawing cartoons and adding text as foot-notes- created a series of 16 pictures of a pianist and his listener, being called a new years concert in 1865. The german pianist Wolfgang Ellenberger arranged music by Chopin, Beethoven and Liszt for a unique multi-medial new years concert, put in scene with actor Emilio de Marchi.

Original text:
(German:)

Er führ' euch mit Genuß und Gunst
Durch alle Wunder seiner Kunst.

A New Years Concert

This is very funny and interesting! Thank you for sharing this video !!! I didn't understand who the pianist is? What is the name of the actual Piano Performer in this ???

@SimonaPiano

as you MIGHT have seen in the text scroll at the BEGINNING of the movie,

the producer, arranger and player was I, Wolfgang Ellenberger,

the listener was Emilio de Marchi who later acted for Hollywood movies....!

First time, it seemed me funny and beauty, creative, imaginative, made me think inmediatly in the original silent cinema.

The most I see-hear it, the most I enjoy it.

Even it's not necessary know all details involved in the production, I realy became enjoy and understand more and more, since I cliked "Less info", beside Wolfgang Ellenberger picture.

Wolfgang, your Concerto is a reminder of the power of music over emotions, perfectly performanced by both actors/ players.

BRAVISIMI !!!

I loved this particular set of drawings, what incredibly well observed behaviour. They illustrate 'the music' perfectly... very amusing (especially as I had to learn the terminology for music lessons at school).

Seeing the drawings come to life is wonderful. Bravissimo to the 'players'!

Das ist gut gemacht, Wolfgang.
