Grand piano is actually a cool movie, I liked it a lot. Essentially Elijah Woods was like a prodigy who retired because he messed up a super important concert. Years later his lifelong teacher dies and he has to play in a tribute to him with his teachers piano. The teacher was like super rich or something and the piano had the key to his vault and the sniper was trying to get a hold of the riches. The password to the key was playing that piece perfectly

I’ve often been filmed by animators when recording a score, specifically so that they can get the gestures correct, if not the actual pitches. That scene at the end of Tangled, where the music goes flying off the piano and the pianist grabs it midair without missing a beat? That exact thing happened to me while playing the original song (about 20 minutes into the film), and the animators brilliantly included it. I was floored when I saw what they had done.

Isn't that kind of the point of the scene? Even if you can't name the specific aria or opera I'd imagine most people could identify it as 'sounding really Motzart-y'...so you kind of feel for Salieri, like 'nah bruh it's not better, it's just what you would've done....dick'.

One of the stories about Mozart is that when he was 14 he listened to a 14 minute choral piece in the Vatican and when home and wrote the full thing from memory. On second listening later in the week he made some minor corrections. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miserere_(Allegri) So the scene of him being able to play Saliere's piece after one listen is probably a fairly accurate representation of his abilities.

So, essentially: This is Mozart we're looking at, literally a prodigy, maybe one of the greatest in history. If Charles is claiming that this is feasible in general for someone really good... then this is 10/10 accuracy. If a relatively good composer would have a good chance in general, especially with a relatively easy piece, then for Mozart it wouldn't even be a challenge. More like a nice practice excersize.

I'm an animator, I in my opinion, for stop motion, it end up being easier to know which notes are played. It makes it easier to think about the rest and not thinking about the places of notes to make it beautiful. You need to think about so many positions, and having the notes given makes you not think about hand placement :P

The first one is actually a 10/10. Miserere mei Deus by Allegri was a song only being allowed to be played in the Vatican. Copying the sheet music was strictly forbidden. Adding to that it was only allowed to be performed publicly on two specific days during the Holy Week (the week before Easter)- Holy Wednesday and Good Friday. 14 year old Mozart heard it once. Later that day he transcribed the entire 15 or so minute piece from memory and it was so accurate that the Pope himself was so delighted he gave young Mozart an order. It‘s true, look it up! 👍

I was hoping you'd mention the animated movie Soul from 2020. To get the piano right they used that technique were they film the actor with the little balls to show body motion. For Soul they filmed Jon Batiste hands playing the piano parts to get them right. Which they also get the animated character in the movie the same long thin fingers like Batiste has. The movie did a good job of musicians playing in the cartoon. Tia Fuller did all the sax parts, Questlove the drums.

The second clip sounds like the beginning of la Campanella. The third clip really needs context that doesn't take place in Vanessa Carlton's A thousand Miles music video. An added context for Corpse Bride is that I'm pretty sure it's all stop motion so the fact that they've hit accurate notes really adds to the amazement.

Writing down ‘Miserere’ by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri, was punishable by excommunication, but 14 year old Mozart committed it to memory… According to a popular story (backed up by family letters), the fourteen-year-old Mozart was visiting Rome when he first heard the piece during the Wednesday service. Later that day, he wrote it down entirely from memory, returning to the Chapel that Friday to make minor corrections. Some time during his travels, he met the British historian Dr Charles Burney, who obtained the piece from him and took it to London, where it was published in 1771. Mozart was summoned to Rome, but instead of excommunicating the boy, the Pope showered him with praise for his feat of musical genius and the ban was lifted. This little piece from salieri would be a Joke to Mozart talent.

It was the final session of the class and the students were playing their own composition they were putting together over the year. George did hear them for the first time and then he sat at the piano, played parts of them back from memory and gave his suggestions for variations and notes to the student. It was absolutely fascinating...

I feel like there are plenty of reasons to not have accuracy in animation, for one, you'd need animators who know the music and what the right notes are. It's also very intricate to animate all of the notes accurately, and might take a lot more work animating it. It's always nice to see, but it's totally not something I'd expect.

Little surprised to see Corpse Bride, but not one of the piano scenes from pixar's Soul. Specifically the piano scene from the beginning of the movie, not the one from the end since it show very little of the actual piano playing.

Magic waltz was written by Amedeo Tommasi a jazz pianist who plays with Chet Baker in the famous album "chet is back". He was a a big friend of Ennio Morricone and they collaborated to the music of "The legend of 900". He died in 2021 one year after Ennio, and I like to think they still playing togheter in heaven and create masterpiece how they did down here.

I love your analys and reaction! Unlucky you missed a big musical scene in "The legend of 1900". Later on in that movie the main character has a "jazz piano contest" against Jelly Roll Morton. A great scene with that deserve your review!

Well the beautiful waltz of the "sliding piano" played by Tim Roth is from : The Legend of 1900 (La Leggenda del pianista sull'oceano) a Giusseppe Tornatore movie (2004) based on a theatrical monoloque written by Alssandro Baricco. The music of the film is from Ennio Morricone & Amedeo Tommasi , they won a Golden Globe for it . There is also a very good duel scene between " Novencento and Jelly Roll Morton". This film tell a beautiful story in a beautiful way, I highly recommend it. Thank you from Montréal, Canada.

I feel as though it should be made clear that the Amadeus scene, in terms of the depiction of Mozart's musical competence, 100% accurate. Mozart possessed, and in a number of instances used the ability, to hear a piece of music just once and then play it perfectly. Therefore, the scene and its level of realism should also be analysed and assessed in the context of Mozart's ability, seeing technically speaking, since the scene is about *his* musical ability and not the average musician's, it is very accurate. Whether the average musician possesses the musical skill of Mozart is an entirely different question.
