Can You Play Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Please!

[@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.

[@jamesrankin9833]

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

[@hughbasham4389]

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

[@brifleming7835]

You are THE man! Beethoven would have loved that!

[@jackieschulmeier8466]

You are a musical genius. Should have your own show. You are a joy. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄

[@truthforever5508]

You are amazing Brendan - I don’t think there is a piece of music you don’t know. Thank you for all the music and all your boogie woogies you bring all year to everyone. The smiles and enjoyments you bring to all are amazing. Have a very merry Christmas to you and all your family and a big thank you for all your entertainment ❤

[@jamescheng1216]

this guy can play anything...amazing!

[@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.

[@jm53274]

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

[@jawick]

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

[@stevemayo1175]

Love when you finish out with a Bit Of Boogie Woogie Ol Chap BRAVO

[@caroleh4900]

Oh wow .and it actually show cases the brilliance of beethoven . How beautiful the melody is of the original piece

[@annenewton5403]

You are super crazily brilliant pianist.

[@michaelbarry8689]

Happy Christmas Brendan and video lady. Thanks for all the music and smiles in 2024. Onwards to 2025!

[@Deadbuck73]

Dr K throws down the Triple A! Awesome As Always!

[@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.

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Awesome!!! Swinging, groovy Beethoven! Marvelous!!! :)

[@harper626]

Love you videos, your music and your interactions with the people passing by.

[@TomRiches]

That was bloody great.. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@JettePorrazzo]

I've been following you for over a year and this has been my favorite video yet! I love how you just went with it and then you made it your own and then you boogie woogie at the end❤

[@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 🎹 🤣

[@Hboogie182]

He always adds in boogie woogie. The man can't help himself.

[@AngelaMiller-dg4we]

Brilliant!! This guy has definitely got the music in him!! ❤️❤️🐧

[@phuongnguyen-qw6gl]

Mr Brendan . We love you ♥️always 👍👏🙏🇺🇸from California

[@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.

[@Steve-rv1ql]

Dr K absolutely bloody awesome!

[@NancySullivan-u2w]

marvelous music on this Monday morning -- thank you for a great start on the day -- have a Merry Christmas!

Just so delightful to hear your improvised Beethoven! Excellent!

[@Serendipity-gj2me]

So pocht das Schicksal an die Pforte, Beethoven might have said. Probably he knew that he might be Deaf one day. Thank you so much for playing. It was Great. Merry Christmas.

[@Gmoney-t1j]

Good morning

[@emilylai9185]

That's so impressive, Dr Kavanagh!!!

[@donsteckel2541]

Well .. that brought a smile to my face 😀 !!!

[@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)

[@DeborahBigelow-t7t]

Your playing is wonderful!!! Thank you

[@lembas.]

His classical renditions are the best honestly.

[@1175ld]

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