Billy Joel - Scenes From An Italian Restaurant (piano version)

[@loudchips2072]

Imagine traveling back in time to an old west saloon and playing this banger on their piano. The patrons would go absolutely wild 🤠

[@CucFan]

He's playing even more than Billy Joel did, because without the singer, this guy is incorporating the melody. Fantastic!

[@mitchellthurner5980]

Not to mention the saxophone and clarinet parts

[@pinkchaos.]

Billy Joel was the one singing, while playing the piano

[@wickvdh]

If I were to ever encounter a genie and he gave me 1 wish, it would be to be able to play piano like this

[@thesummationpufc7418]

Favourite Billy Joel song!

[@paperlateful]

I agree with you

[@iroari4454]

My favorite part about this is the emotion that he incorporates into the way he plays and moves his hands. Beautiful playing!

[@sarac.3259]

You know someone has done a good job when you are singing along throughout ... let's face it, we know all the words... and here we are waving Brenda and Eddie good-bye. Very clever, arranging and playing the piano part, the vocal part _and_ the saxophone. Superb.

[@vertex1933]

If Piano Hero was a thing, this would be the finale/final song

[@bosco1077]

no that would be angry young man

[@WakaWaka2468]

I think that would be La Campanella

[@wham1984]

There should be a game called Piano Hero 😂

[@underated17]

And or Vanessa Carlton thousand miles hands down!

[@scarletsjazz6472]

the final boss lol

[@seanmurphy1578]

BEAUTIFUL

[@beastatkhd6293]

Brilliant. Piano is one of the coolest things to me

[@hootie442]

That might have been the best piano arrangement I've ever heard. Love it!

[@conch1686]

If anything has ever deserved to go viral it's this video.

[@wereoursouls3472]

Liked after 10 seconds. Beautiful.

[@RacingProductions22]

Same here! Great job!

[@paulsnyder7538]

Beautiful playing. Thank you. What a great song.

[@beans802]

Great job. Great arrangement - really loved how you fill in all of the parts, including the horns through the Dixieland section! We’ll played, too.

[@werkzeugmann6224]

Thanks for keeping great compositions alive -- its a motivating experience!

[@niko_hand589]

Incrediebly good! I started playing piano for about three quarters of a year ago. I have seen amazing progress. Playing blues and rock, and incorperating some jazz in there too. New York state of mind is fun to play, all kinds of Elton John tunes too.

[@paoloantunes1283]

Great Job! Difficult song, Billy Joel is one of the greats.

[@tamo1983]

I don't understand how so few people have seen this

[@michelesims8619]

Truly amazing! It boggles my mind, being able to do that. It must feel great.

Excuse me you messed up once I want an apology

[@derrickdeesmith5096]

nice

[@jeffgessner9764]

If you find a piano in a public place, please sit down and play this. People will stop and listen and you'll make them forget their problems for a few minutes.

[@todgaagnon5752]

10/10!

[@GhazyAzhar]

God mode!!

[@reese.tenbrinkk]

how long did this take to learn? so amazinf

[@paulrahme]

I can't actually remember, just kinda knew the song from when I was younger so could sit down and play it :)

[@Loc_Nguyen52]

What your piano model, màn? Its sound great

[@paulrahme]

Thanks! This one was a Yamaha P-60 from the early/mid 2000s.

[@yungsteebs]

Is there any chance you could make a tutorial on this song? It includes the melody and that’s hard to come by with just general search. Also this is crazy impressive.

[@paulrahme]

I've been going back and doing tutorials of some older songs, so I'll add this one to the request list! Thank you for the compliments & support :)

[@nycamyg]

@@paulrahme would love a sheet music version too please!

[@andreaperez9476]

did you have sheet music for this?

[@paulrahme]

Unfortunately not, I did the arrangement by ear.

[@connorcochrane9915]

Paul Rahme I have the sheet music to the song from the Billy Joel Vol. 1 and this rendition is much better

[@baerenkatapulte2341]

@@paulrahme I really would´ve loved the sheet music, but I can´t even be mad at that, playing it by ear is even more impressive than this already is. Nice arrangement :)

Any sheet music to this by any chance?

Bradley French check billy Joel vol. 1

[@carltonwilliamson6993]

please tell me you have any, ANY, sheet music written down for me to go off of!

[@paulrahme]

Unfortunately not for this one, did this arrangement by ear!

[@sarahmellotte9534]

Do you have sheet music or are the extra bits improv??

[@paulrahme]

Sorry no sheet music, I arranged it by ear!

[@paulrahme]

+Grace Walker: (not sure why your comment doesn't have a "Reply" link, hope you see this) Unfortunately not this one, but if you search iTunes for my name you'll find other similar piano arrangements :)

[@thebigg2262]

Amazing! Anywhere I can find free sheet music for this?

[@paulrahme]

Unfortunately not, I did this arrangement by ear. It seems to be gaining a lot more popularity in the last year or so, perhaps it's time for one of my "Tutorial + downloadable MIDI file" videos (I feel I could probably also do a much cleaner performance now than this 7 year old one)...

[@julesd1805]

@@paulrahme Yes please! (Fantastic work by the way)

[@paulrahme]

@@julesd1805 Ok I've added it to the list of older ones to make tutorials of :D

Great piano cover, even better than Billy Joel playing also the melody!! I play piano but not even close to that!

So few like why doesn’t everyone who watches this like it

[@haleychacos6637]

I would love to learn this myself, do you have sheet music for this song?

Thank you! Unfortunately no sheet music, did this arrangement by ear.

[@VroodenTheGreat]

WOW! that was tremendous! I laughed, I cried... MUCH better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again. Seriously tho, I give it 2 thumbs up (the dam computer would only let me give it one) You got another follower. :)

Madness - I could never do two different things with my hands at the same time 😂😂😂😂😂 let alone move em about a lot

[@leonheart41]

Lol how the hell did you turn a ballad into ragtime

[@Account-ru8wt]

Hugh Le actually Id say thats how the song goes, beautiful brilliant composition. Amazing lovely cover too

[@CucFan]

That's how that part of the song goes.

[@scottcook9673]

If Billy Joel saw this, he'd want lessons from you

[@annebannan9817]

that's a stretch

[@kingofthecrows8802]

yeah waita blow up billy joel's shit.

[@yaboicarter21]

How can I be as good as u?

[@benperegrin745]

wow is all ive got to say

[@charlesthesomething2841]

Great playing but the piano solo was too quick

[@paulrahme]

Thanks, and yep, I'll agree there. I tend to uncontrollably speed up in that section :|

[@markwilhelmspiano]

Dude, what’s with all the rolling chords? Your a good player. Not necessary. It’s annoying. Just play the tune with some heart and guts and it plays itself. It’s blue-collar Bar piano not ballet class.

[@billhassell434]

Was good up unto the solo then it was ALL WRONG SMH
