Für Elise on glass harp

[@roberttiso]

I've been to Britain's got talent but it didn't go very well. One of the judges (the bad guy) told me that if he ever saw me on TV he would change channel immediately and anyway my performance was not even shown on TV. My talent was considered below expectations, but you can see for your self by checking out other acts that I could be well into the average. Do you think in America it would be different?

[@internetperson3228]

roberttiso That guy can suck it. He may not know talent, but we, your 2.4 million viewers, we know that this is true talent. I think most people would not change the channel if they saw you.

[@alkeshdodke]

roberttiso : i surely wouldn't change channel

[@mt02574]

Your performance is simply wonderful ♡

[@FaythRose]

It’s a hit and miss on talents like yours. These high profilers look for eye catching high intensity acts and not look into talents like yours. It’s sad really.

[@romanticdonkey468]

[@danielle-economides]

gilson mozart bye

[@ameghosting7768]

Idk if you can really call his talent.. like i would be offended if someone said i have a talent for art. What i mean is that i put a lot of work into what i wanted to do, im not a natural, and assuming my art is a talent is like saying that i put no effort into my work. I know you still have to work to improve talent, but many assume its just something you magically have, when in reality in most cases its the dedication of someone that causes them to succeed, not something like talent which may or may not be real~

[@disobedientdolphin]

This great video teaches us that Beethoven just would have needed a few jars of glass instead of an expensive piano.

[@Mouse117Inc]

More like a few 100 dollar crystal not glass. its more expensive.

[@MaanelSitaBlueLily]

Still a beautiful piece...

[@sarahcano6390]

+ balkoth1984 haha good one but I think beethoven needs to to twice to buy a 100 billon dollars just for a piano

[@mattlm64]

Mouse117Inc Normal glass still makes sound like this, it's probably just not as loud. Try it with glasses in your kitchen. You just need to wet your fingers first.

[@MaanelSitaBlueLily]

Matthew Mitchell Yeah, I used to do that a lot as a child... Now I do it when I'm washing up ;n)

[@marybethleib8286]

So incredible! How can someone not see this as extreme talent? The science alone of getting the notes right with the correct filling of the water is astounding!

[@57thorns]

Because the glass harmonice, while uncommon, is not a unique instrument. Meanwhile I must congratulate roberttiso on _not_ showing up on that show. Sure, the European versions are not as horribly scripted as the US version but I would not trust them. The first few seasons in Sweden did see some real talents from different areas, not all of them singers, but what I have seen from Britans version lately (have not followed any of them, byt KZbin...) there are too much emphasis on drama and too little emphasis on talent.

[@uncleruckus3930]

That's why it has 3 million views.

[@davekennedy869]

Words don’t come close to describing the talent it takes to perform this piece on liquid filled glasses. The précision involved is immense, from using the right type of glass, to filling each precisely for correct tuning, to the fine touch used to bring the tones to life in such an astounding way. This musician is beyond talented, he’s absolutely gifted!

[@olenfersoi8887]

Except that tuning via adding water, and worrying about the tuning changing via evaporation is not longer necessary. (Some KZbin videos show glasses with water...but most have none.) When buying a glass harp vs adapting regular crystal glasses into a set, the glasses themselves are pre-tuned to the desired frequencies, based on the size, thickness of the glass, and grinding to fine-tune, so no water is needed & the tuning is stable. Also, in these custom "instruments" the glasses are blown to have short stems and wide bases and they are constructed to all be the same height, all for stability & ease of playing. In addition, they come with a custom base for added stability, and professionalS will pay extra for special cases to facilitate safe transportation. Of course, such a set glasses costs more than assembling a set of random glassware: A Polish couple "GlassDuo" that manufactures & sells sets of 30 glasses charges about USD$4,000 for them, including the base, but not the carrying case...that's over $100 each for the largest glasses, though purchasers get a 25% discount if replacements are necessary.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

The best part of KZbin is being able to find talent from all over the world!

Roberttiso, never, never let the feeling creep into you that you are below the standard. You are a highly qualified musician with an extraordinary ear for perfection. Why look to the west? The east has better ears and the heart to appreciate genuine music and you will receive recognition here. Then go to the west.

[@philyip4432]

I think this is amazing! I am no musician and have no background in music. But this is very pleasurable to listen to and obviously takes a great deal of talent to perform.

[@hawksandwich4742]

@@oskey5301 they can hear higher pitches yeah, but they can't distinguish between tones like we can. which means music doesn't really sound like music to them. a constant, nice rythm has effects on them though, which is why classical music calms them even though they don't "get" music (where hard rock would make them anxious because of the screaming and what not)

Luna Lupin Luna Lupin before telling something ,next time you should do some research first. Even though Ludwig was indeed born in Germany, his parents came from Belgium. That's why it is 'van Beethoven' instead of 'von Beethoven'.

[@tabascoraremaster1]
