I don't exactly agree with all the selections as being in "legendary" status. But there were some choices that did make me go "I really don't like that one, but you do recognize it immediately". And THAT is what makes a piece legendary IMHO. I'm sure someone out there will disagree with me. And that's ok. Congratulations on 100k. And here's to 100k more!🎉🥂

Congrats on getting 100k! You deserve it! I love your videos especially this one I’m watching right now! I hope you reach 1 million subscribers someday and I will still support you. :) - Sunny 6-6-24 11:06 PM PST.

[@Montechait]

Thank you very much!!☺️

[@rosanecorrea9137]

Congrats. A Whiter Shade of Pale is a legendary one.

[@Montechait]

Great song, but I would argue the intro is played by an organ, not a piano :)

[@EF20072]

Congrats for your 100k trophy 🏆 Nice Video with your amazing piano playing 👌 But there is definitely “Hold the line” (Toto) next to “Piano man” (Billy Joel) and “Expresso love” (Dire Straits) missing 😎

[@Montechait]

Great suggestions, thank you very much!!☺️

[@garypotter1985]

Bridge over troubled water is simply Devine ❤

[@stefaniafirenze]

Carinissimo Montechait! Anche mia mamma faceva questo " gioco" quando le chiedevamo di fare il pianobar....secoli fa....Grazie❤

[@Montechait]

❤️

[@nickavenoso7851]

ABBA had a lot of great piano intros: Money, Money, Money, SOS, Mamma Mia, etc. I’m also surprised you didn’t include Your Song and Tiny Dancer from Elton or New York State of Mind or Piano Man from Billy Joel. I love The Way It Is, one of my favorites from the 80’s. My #1 would probably be Tiny Dancer.

[@Montechait]

Great suggestions, thank you! Will definitely include some of them in the next one :)

[@musicboy16]

Golden hour and piano man

[@oscuach]

need another one with Elton's Your Song in it!!

[@Montechait]

I’ll definitely include Elton in the next one!:)

[@Garry-the_Snail]

Awesomeeeeeee

[@Montechait]

Thank you ☺️

[@TridentTrist]

Congrats! I’m disappointed that I was too late to the channel( 99.8k ish sub) But I can’t wait to follow your videos later on! A request I have personally is No Moon (Young Love) by Erroll Garner. I love the riffs and arpeggios and really want to get a tutorial! Thank you. 😊

[@Montechait]

That's a tough one to do accurately... I'll think about it! :) Welcome to my channel!

Congratulation sir... you deserve more and more subscribers... because you are great pianist... sir can i my a request... everything I own by bread... one of my favorite song....thank you sir... more power to your channel...

[@Montechait]

Thank you! I'll take it into consideration!

[@HyrubatoMusic]

Where's Piano Man? Anyways, congrats on 100k subs!

[@Montechait]

Well, the melody in the "Piano Man" intro is played by a harmonica, not a piano... :) But I might include it in the next one! Thank you very much!

[@matthiasr.8181]

Good job man! What "Don't stop believing" right hand is completely out of rhythmn!!

[@WigglesSuperWhyFan-od3wp]

Request: Ian & Sophie - We Can Always Be With You - Piano Cover + Sheet Music

[@ArielAr]

I believe you would make an amazing job of arranging for solo piano "Xanadu" and "Magic" ( both by Olivia Newton-John), Icarus (Ralph Towner), "Thank you for the music" ABBA ( specially the run/arpeggio of the intro that no one gets right), "In my dreams" (REO speedwagon), music by Alan Parsons, Toto, "Walking my baby back home" (as arranged by Nat King cole)

Can you please do l’as des as by Vladimir Cosma 🙏🙏

[@Crolx-X]

Where is Rach 2 and Schumann’s concerto in A mol op.54 ?

[@Montechait]

Great compositions, but I would argue most people don’t expect classical piano concertos when they hear „piano intro“, don’t you think?

[@Crolx-X]

Yes, it's true ! There are also sonatas, preludes,… 🤣🤣🤣

You missed When i was your man by Bruno Mars

[@Montechait]

Great suggestion, thank you!

[@MokshAggarwal-xs2ve]

Moonlight Sonata Mvmt. No 3 start

[@user-ip1zv3xy9f]

Br, the prelude 20 intro is missing...

[@Montechait]

Do you mean the Chopin prelude? I would consider that a piano piece, not a piano intro

[@venom-ft5tg]

Please play redbone by childish gambino❤❤❤❤❤

[@Dylonely42]

Not legendary but nice.

[@RyanAir-Landing]

Some explain to me how a video entitled “20 legendary piano intros” doesn’t he even have “Piano Man!” 😡

[@Montechait]

Well, there are definitely more than 20 legendary piano intros. I would argue "Piano Man" isn't a pure piano intro because the melody in the intro is played by a harmonica... Anyway, I'll probably include it in the next one :) Sorry for making you angry!

[@RyanAir-Landing]

Haha. You’re so disarming. Great video by every standard. I think it’s true because if you take the harmonica out it’s still so good from the piano. And I would recognize it without the harmonica any day. Great video. Keep ‘em coming.

[@Montechait]

Thank you very much, I will!

[@bicimusic]

Runaway not in there 🤡

[@a_gomz_1973]

As a pianist, I think it shouldn’t even be there. Its just so overrated for some little notes, I like it as a song but not for the piano.

[@justaguy5406]

Overrated asf

[@isaacmoon7093]

You can not have a list of top 20 legendary piano intros and have the whole video be mediocre pop songs that do nothing exceptional and you didn't even put a single classical song on here I'm sorry but I'm probably just on the wrong side of youtube but then again this is like offensive as a pianist and I will be contacting a trusted parent or guardian

[@Montechait]

Did you just call Bohemian Rhapsody and Bridge Over Troubled Water "mediocre pop songs"? This is quite offensive and I will be contacting a trusted parent or guardian

[@yosto7522]

I apologize being critical but when you put a title like that you should have done a better arrangement. Though "Everytime" sounds nice, its not a legendary intro and most certainly not in 9th position, 7 places above "Let It Be" which was 16th (!?). You'd better do several videos in proper catergories, ex. Best 80-90s pop/rock piano intros or something like that cause half a century of music in a video is not simply possible, its just clickbait.

[@MASCAPA]

Bohemian Rhapsody is not in there🤡
