Can You Play Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Please!

[@jamesrankin9833]

The Master!! Brings nothing but joy!! And Boogie Woogie!

[@jamescheng1216]

this guy can play anything...amazing!

[@hughbasham4389]

Freestyling Beethoven, truly marvellous. Even funnier the look on the children's faces as they recognise what you are doing.

[@geoffmarriott4387]

Pure Genius, Beethoven would be proud to hear you play his music in your own style - have a great Christmas

[@TestGearJunkie.]

Absolutely, my mum was always of the 'play it as the composer wrote it' school. But I've recently been listening to an old vinyl album I've got called 'Switched On Bach' where Bach's music was played on an old Moog synthesiser. It was brilliant, imagine what Bach or Beethoven would have produced if they'd had modern instruments..?

[@ThibauddeLaMarnierre]

Hear? Maybe not…

[@Paul-f9b3f]

Was the pun intended?

[@miniward9182]

geoffmarriott, I was just thinking the same thing, wouldn’t Beethoven love to listen to Dr K’s version. Wonderful.

[@brifleming7835]

You are THE man! Beethoven would have loved that!

[@yvoheaton6402]

A very Happy Christmas to you and yours Brendan. Thank you for the gift you give us all year and especially at this time.

[@jawick]

Marvelous! Dr. K and young people. Joy had by all!

[@bluebird6499]

[@jm53274]

Your a great person Brendan, your wonderful skills and personality have made our Christmas that much more brighter.

[@DavidGirling]

I love it when you do a bit of classical as a change from boogie woogie. But freestyling a piece like that shows massive skill.

[@blackzach913]

Fr

[@TestGearJunkie.]

Terry would go full boogie-woogie on that 🎹 🤣

[@beatricewoodruff387]

Merry Christmas and thanks for all of your wonderful playing

[@LesleyRodriguez-m6b]

What a beautiful blessing for all!

[@chris-4566]

These young students are learning a really useful lesson in music. The ability to play by ear, is priceless.

[@harpintn]

I have been playing exclusively by ear for quite a few years. It has been so long since I have looked at sheet music I don't know If I could even read it now.

[@chris-4566]

@ I taught guitar by ear for 20 years, it’s the way most guitarists want to learn these days, thankfully. I have never got on with purely reading musicians, they can rarely improvise or play without sheet music which seems bizarre to me. Each to their own, I suppose.

[@harpintn]

@@chris-4566 I can certainly see the advantages of reading music well as it makes it easier to learn new songs without having to listen to someone else play it. I have played the harmonica publicly for about 25 years, but I also play the Ocarina some, an twiddle a little with a couple of other fipple flutes. I would love to learn the guitar, but my hands have endured too much abuse over the years to be able to contort into the various shapes needed to play the guitar.

[@birdman4274]

Reminds me of when the late Dudley Moore played on the Wogan show years ago. Brilliant Doc 👍👍

[@Beatlefan67]

Dudley was a comedic genius and utterly brilliant pianist. Such a sad loss.

[@mikenf1185]

I just love how he pretends not to know which line of music he should be playing, then sits down at the piano and plays just about note perfect. THEN Goes all improv! Love it! Such talent. Such entertainment.

[@lembas.]

His classical renditions are the best honestly.

[@margaretbourne-raiswell7100]

Oh wow, what a way to start the day! Thanks, Dr. K. Happy Christmas from Maggie in Sequim , Washington, USA.

[@pasha12343]

Awesome as usual

[@tonymascaro3490]

HE IS AMAZING! AND HE REALLY ENJOYS IT

[@amysoh9109]

Happy New Year! Watched once more! Really ģēnijs pianist! OMG!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@irri4662]

How does the 3rd movement go ?... It goes well in boogie woogie mode.

[@1175ld]

This is impressive. I never would have believed that he would know that particular piece. I have a new respect for his abilities.

[@paulgovan3507]

BK does a slick Mozart v Salieri slam-dunk on Beethoven. A bit of Boogie'd up Beathoven(sic) to finish. More of this mashed-up jammed-up heresy please mate - some of us never play by the rules... (Paul G)

[@frankfurter726]

Chuffin brilliant

[@rstanokusa8826]

That's why your channel is so popular. Great work.
