[@lriuzaki19]

Darkk pathétique sonata is beautiful well done 😉🤩

[@AshleyMoon-du6hg]

I love all of them!! My next goal is to try memorizing how to play this without taking any lessons and I can't read sheet. 😭😭

[@theangrygamer8815]

1 hour one was amazing ❤

[@angenalaschka5976]

As always very good!!! You are and remain a wonderful composer, musician and Lionel Yu!

[@samyishamy]

Lionel, you are an incredible improviser and writer. You should really consider getting into jazz and modern jazz because I think you would become a legend. But at any rate, thanks for providing us with the music you make now!

[@n3b933]

Your talent for composing is evident in your improvisations and remixes. That last piece clearly demonstrates that skill. Awesome job 🎉❤🎉!

[@patriciaeverett5001]

Re-listening to this, I am blown away at how incredible Lionel's composition skills are!! Magnificent work, magnificent job!! 😊🎉🎉❤❤❤ Mind-blowingly good. Every piece was exceptional but probably because he had 5 hours to work on the last one, it was over-the-top excellent! Huge kudos again. ❤❤❤

[@VicJang]

Great video! I'd like to mention that MusicalBasic is a much more recognizable name. I didn't realize this is from your channel at first and thought someone copied your thumbnail style!

[@circuitgamer7759]

He's had this name for quite a while now, but I agree - it took me a long time to figure out that this was this channel.

[@joshuakyanaalampour]

Love your videos Lionel! Been watching since 2017. All the best!

[@patriciaeverett5001]

Beautiful job, Maestro!! ❤❤❤

[@glaeli1184]

Omg so good mate! Love these works on Beethoven!!

[@jalenebrainard7225]

So nice to hear you play,thank you

[@hello_person_wathing_beatSaber]

[@hello_person_wathing_beatSaber]

[@patriciaeverett5001]

I would love to hear Dark Waldstein in Concert! 😊❤

[@LingLing_Wannabe]

[@mikhus]

Cool! Sounds amazing :D

[@patriciaeverett5001]

This is going to be great!!❤❤❤

[@lycal8084]

[@BlendedMozart]

Do the same thing with Mozart

The only way I could see the picture is by looking in a window of a mirror in a dark place with the same light as the sun

That final piece was so good.

[@jeandesgagne]

[@tongqiustb847]

holy shit 23:26 to 24:16 was fire, gives that older musicalbasics vibes

[@gracex5041]

Sooo many notes so epic

[@matthias8693]

Wow! Can you please modify "Stegman Concerto", from the movie "Class of 1984"?

[@halneufmille]

The Waldstein was very good!

[@dr.align2thrive119]

Epic!

[@dragon10086]

22:16 nice aot reference

[@timtastic_04]

What kind of notation program do you use?

[@christophunrein6419]

Greatest composer ever.

[@MichaelC.Nevans-uc9mb]

Do you have any concerts coming up? I would assume by your accent I'd have to fly to California.

[@liliaye8183]

Lionel will perform in Los Angeles! Check his concert link to find out the details!

[@MichaelC.Nevans-uc9mb]

@@liliaye8183 Hehe I'm from before internet. That should have been easy, right? Thank you Sweetie!

[@katttttt]

Lol his one minute is better than what I ever "arranged" haha

[@Guancion]

what’s the name of the program and where can i use it?

[@mattandnikkigoddard1606]

[@thecocobeans2642]

SEND THIS TO TWOSET YAAASSS

[@katttttt]

What Software is that?

[@liliaye8183]

It is absolutely stunning how Lionel can rewrite Beethoven in such short time! Unbelievable talent of composition! 👍👍👍! My favorites are 10 min and 5 hrs songs! ❤❤❤

[@ssmith9745]

What does "re-writing Beethoven" even mean?? This kid takes an idea or two that Beethoven used (as the basis for a highly-structured, carefully-worked-out musical/emotional journey of expectation and fulfillment, dramatic contrast and witty surprise)... and *he* uses them as the basis for a tedious, repetitious, harmonically directionless, overwrought, and bombastic improvisation! Forgive me for not bowing before his greatness! I'm not saying he *couldn't* do something interesting and new, and maybe even worthwhile... IF he had a little more knowledge of form, a little more experience as a composer, and a lot more discipline... and if he took the *time* necessary to compose something meaningful! Not even Beethoven could have come up with anything of real value in 10 minutes or even 5 hours! It's easy to see that imposing these arbitrary time restrictions is actually a kind of cop-out -- a way to justify the superficiality of the stuff he comes up with! Beethoven lived 200 years ago, and he is still revered for the contribution he made to humanity through his art, despite (or perhaps because of) the tragic circumstances of his life. Does anyone really think that in 200 years -- or even 20 years -- anyone will care what this kid was doing on KZbin one afternoon?! Puh-leeeze!!

[@TheKeeper626]

What if you use the 5 minute one as an EDM masterpiece.

[@f-mex5806]

👍

GR eat job from "the GR eatest pianist in the world"!(GR eetings from GR eece!)🤪🤩

[@maxschon7709]

You tend to make classic more dark then it was - maybe you can't a piece more lighter more celestrial.

[@MichaelC.Nevans-uc9mb]

Kid, you are an amazing musician with extravagant talent. Leave Beethoven alone. I want you writing music for yourself. There are very few musicians that can even play Beethoven, much less change his music. I would pay hundreds of dollars to see you in concert playing your own music.

[@liliaye8183]

In Lionel previous concerts, he performed most of his own compositions!

[@MichaelC.Nevans-uc9mb]

@@liliaye8183 I knew he could do it! Extreme talent like that is very rare. I know he is humble but his music tells another story.

[@goehoviewer]

sacrilegious

[@MichaelC.Nevans-uc9mb]

I always knew who I was growing up. Without question I knew. I was a jazz musician that wore a cowboy hat and boots when I went to college. I was laughed at. My full ride scholarship told me different. What Lionel does makes it okay to be different. He's not just a musical genius, he has heart and soul.

[@anonymousmonkey9491]

for some reason moonlight sonata reminds me of gravity falls

[@user-my9xu4uj2j]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bigbeepian224]

i saw this

[@TheUnderscore_]

Man that laugh at 1:29 sounded exactly Mozart in Amadeus 😂

[@1Nevina]

YES!!! 😂 Love it!

[@WilliamNyberg]

huh. "dark pathetique" sounds an awful lot like "the wall" by Kansas
