Research has been done to study the effects of classical music vs the music of today’s current musical culture in America (pop, country, rock, etc…). Results found several interesting findings, one of the greatest results (in my opinion) is when students study for exams and have classical music softly and quietly playing in the background and then also play the same classical music they studied with while sleeping they do better (approximately 18%) and retain more information vs the students that either studied with the other music as quiet and soft background music or no music playing at all (The study is published in Neurobiology of Learning and Memory from the University of Baylor, Texas). There are numerous other studies that look at classical music and the effects it has on hormones, the brain, various studies done on all ages from in utero to the elderly population about too many topics of research to list. Bottom line I guess being that music has an effect and impact on our lives and how we process the world and the learning process we choose to try and experiment or not with or even believe if there’s any validation in the results of the research behind the studies or if those research results were because of happenstance and nothing more

Für Elise is that one song so many pianists love when they first hear it, but then a few years pass and you start to hate the song with a burning passion. Like “IF I HEAR THAT SONG ONE MORE TIME!” Edit: I’m just going to say this because there is a big controversy going on in the comments. I meant this as a joke and only a joke. For a lot of pianists that have played for a long time and more importantly taught students or judged contests, Für Elise is a song that becomes really bothersome. It is really popular among new students and they always play the same few measures. If you hear the same few notes over and over for years in most cases you’ll probably get pretty tired of it, especially in the case of judging contests. You might end up hearing the same song several times in the span of a few hours. If you add the fact that this song is often played by new pianists who still pound on their piano and have few dynamics and musical interpretations, then it is understandable that a person would start to hate the song. I never meant to offend anyone, sorry about that.

[@teddym2808]

I got up to about level 7 at 19yo, but was obsessed with electronic music and that's all I ever wanted to do, compose (trance mostly). Then it turned into a full music studio after I learned how to engineer and produce. By that time I had lost a lot of my skill but could still sit down and play the few pieces burned into my memory. Then a decade went by and I had lost more again. I started getting lessons at about age 7 I think it was, and I was very unstructured and a problem child LOL so the teacher took a different approach where we just increasingly learnt harder and harder pieces, and this went on for many years. Every month was a new piece. No grades or tests, and I still don't even really understand theory to this day which is crazy. My family used to love sitting down and having me play in the lounge room on the grand. But I lost all interest once I got into EDM as noted above. Now? I am 50yo and still have my own music setup and still play keyboards but my "talent" has faded, and now I have pretty bad arthritis in hands to unfortunately. Why this story? Well as with many things in life for all of us, I regret that I was a stupid young adult and didn't see it through, as eventually, this is what I could have become. This guy is amazing and deserves all the success his channel is having. I think all music is derived from classical music and it was always about big chords with alternating melodies for me with my EDM stuff and although I don't know theory I do know how to compose things that are in key (does that mean I know some theory lol)? Things that fit with one another. Well, my little story.

​@@JuanFernándezPelayo I can still play, just not as well as I once did. I can still sit down and sight read too. I know this because we were in a situation a couple years back where we were at a gathering and they needed a pianist (the other didn't turn up) - I didn't know the music at all yet I sat down and played it for the first time ever in my life. It wasn't complex by any means, heck, if I was going by grades, around grade 3 level max, but I did it. I was so nervous that I can not even put it into words, but everyone there knew me as a musician and sort of pushed me into it, e.g. they would say "T can do it"! and, PHEW, it was all ok. So it's still all ingrained albeit at a much lower skill level than I once had. I still also compose every single day in my home studio, without fail. So my hands are always on keys even though it hurts a lot these days due to arthritis. I do take a lot of ibuprofen I will admit as it's one of the few things that helps with the pain. I am also a gamer, since commodore 64 days, and that's really hard for me now too. For example even in, say, a beat em up game like Streets of Rage 4 or the Takeover (my favourite beat em up game of all time), I will need to assign turbo fire to all the attack buttons or I simply can't play beyond five minutes as the pain is too much. It is what it is.

[@teddym2808]

And also just to clear up what my initial message was about, well, I guess I was simply sharing my regret about quitting classical piano, as I had the natural talent.

After doing it repeatedly you get muscle memory, like an aerobic routine, dance steps, it gets easier because your brain is no longer thinking so hard on how or when to find it, your muscles take over. As a massage therapist I’ve had clients start laughing or crying when I massaged a part of their body that had encountered trauma earlier in their life, like a fall from a horse. They healed , they thought, they’d forgotten it, they thought, but the massage awakened the memory in the muscle, sometimes they were still ignorant of the I jury their buddy remembered.

Stunning skill. You have just inspired me to start all over again after 40 plus years of playing (on and off for the last 25) to literally fix the flaw in my fingering etc. that always haunted me on even level 5 or so here. Your remix raised the hair on my arms. Masterful.

[@jimmycliff3159]

Yes you should always practice your fingering to avoid getting back to the ol' high school days, you know ? Especially after 40+ years, you become rusty and predictable... happens to the best of us !

[@MasonBarge]

Clearly a difference between “play” and “play well.” If I ever need to be humbled, I listen to Alfred Brendel play Fur Elise.

[@rykehuss3435]

Sure is. Hitting the right notes at the right time is half of playing piano. Can say the same for pretty much any instrument. Its what those notes sound like that differentiates the pros from the hobbyists

[@korkorkorkorkor]

[@peace-now]

I never found the Fur Elise easy. I found the Tempest Sonata OK.

[@bernster123]

Incredible. Love the light display thingy with it.

[@louvemauve6709]

I have to admit, I am amazed by this experience. I really love Beethoven symphonics and doing everything on the piano is racing my heart. Also, I dont imagine how many hours of practice you have to do just for the 3rd movement. The last one, was...Fresh air. When Beethoven makes his part really unbreathable, the remix makes you breathe again. Nice video ! You're surely the best pianist I ever head !

[@bboboneill]

Honestly never appreciated his music until seeing it broken down like this, thank you

I’m speechless! And what a great visual representation of the music (the falling dots). For a guy, who has no clue about piano - this made me understand the whole beauty and enormous difficulty playing on it! Apologies for the totally unprofessional opinion - I was hesitant, but decided that a big “thank you” is never to be silenced!

[@OmgLoLw2gLuvUidkROFL]

Johann Sebastian Bach I’d rather see some technically insane piece than musically insane. Such as the s695c or any fantasy. That he wrote for himself only to play.

[@briansturner]

When you play that last 5th, I just can't help but see the story of Genesis... Very powerful, nicely done.

[@ndruark]

I really appreciate the variation between the 3 movements of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. Yes, the 3rd movement requires more technical proficiency but the first movement requires more dynamic proficiency. Yes, the 1st movement comes across as easy and simple, but that’s challenging in its own way. It’s a 6-7 minute piece of music that threatens to lull the player into a sense of complacency and the audience into a sense of boredom.

[@tuluppampam]

And the 2nd movement is challenging because you forget it exists

[@justaperson8560]

Moonlight sonata is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard it’s had me star struck since I first heard it as a small child when played as Beethoven intended the power it has over emotion is unbelievable

[@hritviknijhawan1737]

I agree, Appasionata is the greatest sonata ever composed. So pure rage, emotion, sorrow and anger. And the coda is unmatched in the history of Piano. But Symphony 9's Liszt transcription is even harder than Hammerklavier, arguably Liszt's most difficult piece written due to the length.
