"Can you play the piano?" "Yes". What an understatement.

[@PinkyJapan]

As a fellow pianist, at first I was like, “Alright alright, she’s pretty good” and then she just kept going and my freaking jaw dropped.” Insane!!!

[@PinkyJapan]

Only a fellow pianist could understand how insanely good she is because she makes it look so easy. The first part of the song is not hard and virtually anyone who knows how to play piano could do it. So when I read a title that says “Most insane cover,” I’m expecting to be blown away. About halfway through the song, she DID blow me away and she just kept going. By the end, my jaw was almost on the floor.

[@PinkyJapan]

@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania I agree! Even this song in its most simplest form is beautiful! I was referring to the title, “Most Insane Cover.” It wasn’t “insane” at first: it was just good. But by the end it was truly insane. To date it is the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard.

[@snyggmikael]

@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania doesnt matter, its the sound track from the movie. then again she still has a long way with the consistency pressing down the weighted keys. She is either a semi novis, or used to play on a keyboard that hasnt got weighted keys at all

@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania jazz can be both easy and hard aswell. same with classical music.

Absolut faszinierend und ergreifend, wie diese junge und hübsche Frau diese Melodie auf dem Piano spielt. Ich habe den Film mehrmals gesehen und finde ihn toll. Die Musik genial. Auch habe ich schon viele Versionen von „Interstellar“ auf dem Piano und Klavier gespielt gesehen, ABER keine hat mich so berührt wie diese Version von ELLA. Respekt. (Auch wenn sie lange Fingernägel hat und eventuell fehlerhaft spielt, ich finde ihre Fingernägel toll und ich höre keine Fehler). Obwohl ich mir das Video von Ihr schon ca. 50 mal angesehen und genossen habe, berührt es mich jedes Mal, wie unglaublich gefühlsvoll ihre Finger über die Tastatur gleiten und ich bin zu Tränen gerührt. Unglaublich, dieses Talent. Vielen Dank, für diese schönen Momente. Für die Zukunft wünsche ich dieser jungen Frau alles Gute und viel Glück.

Ohhhhh mein Goooott, selbst wenn man diese Version mit geschlossenen Augen hört, hört es sich für mich unglaublich stimmig und harmonisch an. Die Originalaufnahme von INTERSTELLAR, "Who's They" hört sich für mich nicht so gut an, wie die Interpretation von Ella!!!!!!!! Ich danke Dir.

As someone who plays piano and has had long natural nails, it is NOT easy playing piano with nails like those! Also, I love how, over the course of a few minutes, most of the strangers walking by notice her music. It’s beautiful to watch.

[@iooooooo1]

I noticed this too. I could be wrong, but I think she only has long nails on her left hand and is using the right hand for more complex things?

[@dennisk.7149]

It is almost impossible to play perfectly with nails this long in terms of phrasing or dynamics in generell. In most piano pieces the pinky finger has to be the strongest cause the notes played by it have to be louder than the other ones. You can only develop full strength in your fingers if the fingers are upright and your fingertips touch the keys. The fingers shouldnt kink which is not the case as you can see on her left hand while she is playing. It was an amazing performance anyways!

[@susannaviljanmaa9917]
