Imagine this, now people listen to and enjoy his music but he isn’t exactly world famous. But in a hundred years, when he is dead people rediscover his music and he will become the next mozart or beethoven. How cool would that be!?

[@GeeVee861]

Seems to me that he is doing very well and will continue to do so.

Hey guys, I found the time traveler.

[@radu6772]

Nah naybe more underground like alkan or medtner

[@cherylholloway6706]

I agree

[@Quickened1]

I'd rather listen to this man's music than Beethoven or Mozart any day of the week, right here and now!

[@FrankieplayzWasTaken]

Dear, Musical Basics, This video, I listen to it again and again. I listen to it when I do homework, when I play video games, when I get through hard parts of life, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for making all those wonderful songs. I believe these music will make everyone’s life better. Thank you for inspiring hundreds and of thousands of people to play piano. You have absolutely no idea how much people love listening to your music. It’s not just millions, it’s billions. People, cats, dogs, aliens, no matter what animal, every living creature, will appreciate you for the amazing music you created. Thank you very much for everything. Have an unbelievably excellent day. Cya! -From, A huge fan

[@MusicalBasics]

Frankie, thank you, that means more to me than you can imagine!

[@dmkingdg4779]

I agree with this Frankie, we do be listening to your pieces day and night. I listen to your epic pieces when I do my work, I love listening to Gallop when I commute to work, I love listening to Fires of a Revolution to feel inspired when I feel stuck, I love listening to Fight for Freedom when I feel out of place. These I listen daily, and am adding more and more to my playlist because they really inspire me. I'm going to be playing them a few years down the road, since I've started learning piano 1 month ago. The path may be long and difficult, but with how Lionel made me see the music for what it can be, I believe I'll follow the path! All doubts are fading away all thanks to creators like him. EPIC Creators!

[@wakeupthisisntreal8168]

His music is good, but it's not incredible. It just doesn't have "the light" I've heard in other songs.

[@elizanekrui4988]

your music from piano is so cool

[@Lifejdieie]

U forgot to add the tablets, PCs and laptops we listen to his music from

[@AlusW.]

I'm 81 and your playing thrills me! Thank you, Lionel.

[@hamahbamana137]

I’d love to hear an orchestra version of ALL of his pieces. I think that would be so powerful and beautiful!

[@tammybeamond7516]

JILL here!!...Don't quite know how to express myself as this is so epic!! I feel mindblown! It's so unworldly that it reminds me of Brian May's album "Another World" in that I feel it takes us to somewhere we have never been before and we get lost, but not afraid, but want to explore and stay forever. We go up and down streams of water... torrents threaten but don't destroy us. Calming breezes refresh and cool our moods while volcanic lava pours all around and earthquakes shake our very ground... Who has given us this sound? Only God can give us the ability to hear and appreciate such music as this and wonder at a man's creativity to soothe the spirit and enrich the soul... Who else deserves our thanks?.. Only our God Jehovah !!

[@CityBohoGirl]

OMGGG 🙌🔥🔥🔥 WHO ARE YOU??! Strength and Cleanliness and Acute Ability to Emote. I weep… thank you.

So I don’t normally listen to straight piano music, so I have no idea how the KZbin algorithms worked this one out but holy crap dude! You started playing and I couldn’t turn it off. In fact, I had to add over half of these to my Spotify playlist. Beautifully captivating, every note played with feeling. Mad props to you!

Why does it remind me of attack on titan

[@BoxyFox]

He actually took inspiration from Attack on Titan’s opening theme. He originally did this in one of his challenge videos and wrote it in 5 hours. It is one of my absolute favorites.

[@kagutashi8288]

we all know we've been waiting for this one

[@Molly-MaryEHackenberger]

Your Kennedy Center performance randomly came up in my feed and now my morning is lost in this amazing music...

[@freshavocado5273]

You don't know how much I love Living in The Shadows. It's the best piece I have ever listened to. Normally when I listen to piano pieces, I find it boring even though I really love piano. Maybe it's the way the pianist plays it but Living In The Shadows is just.... I have no words. I just love it very much. Please compose more pieces like these that is sad, a lil' bit of epicness and a tinge of bittersweet

[@supremetaco5349]

First Kiss has to be my favorite! I personally couldn't relate, but the melody is one of the most beautiful I have ever heart. Thank you for making more beautiful compositions, I can't wait to see more!

[@ssbupokemontrainer613]

Anyone notice the Naruto Hinata kiss

[@changemymind06]

Man, I really loved them all! But something about Total Isolation hit me in the chest, but then followed up by Imprisoned Soul, which is already my favorite...well that was really a wonderfully gut-wrenching experience! You have this talent of ripping emotions out of people. People can learn to write music, but you, you MAKE the music. Bravo!

I love the imprisoned soul and cursed path. These guys are the most striking but another ones also bring unforgettable emotions...

[@polleels]

I've been playing the piano for 1.5 years now, I can't believe how you make such beautiful music in that time. With this music I remember myself I can hear this . So I wish everyone that if you are sad and listen to this music, you should be happy that you can hear this. Because everyone can't hear, hopefully the world will make something for you that you can hear this music. I am now 13 years old and when I reach your age I hope to become like you. I wish you reach 2 million subscribers with this music. My favorite is Fight For Freedom.

[@jaredstearns6013]

I had your album playing in the car while driving with my wife and kid. She said "All you listen to these days is Beethoven and Mozart". I was like Lionel would've loved to hear you say that.

I'm 34. Never in my life have I ever loved an entire album of anything. EVER. There are always a few songs that tend to make me go 'meh' because they're mid at best. None of these are 'meh'. None of these are mid. These are all top tier, S rank pieces of music. Unbelievable. Well done, truly. I wish you nothing but the best.

Hi Lionel! I'm Rob I have played piano since the age of 12, now 25. I have never taken a lesson or training. Obviously I have been using Synthesia :D I am looking for a chance to send you a video of a piece I'm currently learning so you can review it and tell me where I suck. I feel lost recently and I don't really understand where I am musically and technically. It would mean the world to me if I could receive some direction. I'm sure you get many requests like this so I understand if this is not possible. However, in the case that this is something you have availability for, I am willing to pay for any services that you may offer.

I've heard most of these from your other videos, and they're all so amazing!
