[@NahreSol]

Thanks for the feature, Rick!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! :))

[@RickBeato]

+Nahre Sol Thank you!!

[@NebulousWyatt]

You're scary good!

[@janminor1172]

If this was played by someone on a guitar, there'd be dozens of "all she does is play a million notes per second, she has no feel" comments all over the place ;-)

[@RickBeato]

If someone played this on guitar, we would all say wow that’s amazing that somebody can play two parts at the same time!

[@jps9508]

Rick Beato Let's say 'played by two guitarists ?'

[@RickBeato]

+JP S That would be cool!

[@twocsies]

Rick Beato Overdubs.

[@lewisbirkett4428]

two handed tapping?

[@umanand1897]

I was totally waiting for you to put a quarter note crash pattern with a snare on the 3rd beat of every bar and a kick pattern matching the left hand over that.... Now THAT would djent...

[@RickBeato]

Aumanandॐ Haha! That’s a great idea!!

[@stefansalvatore3486]

PLS DO

[@_adg_0]

4:07 Classic Adam Neely haha, niiice !

[@RickBeato]

A direct quote! It's from the video where he is listening to Jazz in his response to my UMG video :)

[@aureliotarallo5290]

There's the lick inside the piano right hand lines also! 😂😂😂

[@Enogimka]

I was just thinking about the same thing!!! It's a direct quote of Adam Neely I just laugh so much to it xD

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

I am literally in tears. 😭😭😭

[@RobFlaxMusic]

You guys, this really is DJENT: Damn, Just Enjoy Nahre's Technique.

[@anotherdepressedmusician]

Clever!!

[@hatilloguitar]

More Prokofiev please, I love so much his music!!

[@aberneuten5443]

Yes! A Prokofiev video! Bringing good music to the masses...

[@ziccuj]

I can definitely see Adam Neely's influence on the in-between edits here and there. Loved the out of the blue Layla part, great!

[@Sorc47]

I'm noticing influences from Adam as well, they're great. Those edits keep the video interesting at all times. You have to watch it to not miss anything instead of listening to it in the background, so you stay focused on the topic, which is really important when it comes to Rick's videos.

[@logknees]

I agree with the in an out edits, they’re awesome, but he’s gotta use a cross fade or something when transitioning clips. Just a lil pop but I dig the style! Great video my dude

[@damienro0]

Im not sure I get how this is djenty, I'd say its definetly shreddy, but isn't djent more about odd time signatures, and off-beats?

[@RickBeato]

It's a joke, but it is shreddy!

[@Ryan-ji3xk]

Nah, most djent is in 4/4. sometimes riffs or licks can play on up beats, but it's really the tone of down-tuned (or extended range) guitars that make djent what it is; that and octaves, pre-bends, and up-picking after palm-mutes. That's a very basic break down. But most metal is influenced by classical music (and obviously rock).

[@Ryan-ji3xk]

BassPianoBassPiano I'm looking it up right now, thanks.

[@damienro0]

Yeah...kind of...no THAT djenty, a bit more riffy than djenty but a little part towards the end, yeah probably.

[@SuperIdiotMan00]

I think djenty would be playing some low C octaves intermittently, right?

[@AshStJohnmusic]

You keep getting deeper Rick, excited for this new chapter of your life, have a feeling this is just a taste of what you’ll be putting out now that you’ll be able to focus all your energy into teaching

[@alanschrader3117]

Yeeesssh. Prokofiev is one of my all time favorites. The first movement of his 2nd piano concerto is so amazing.

[@theena]

I am neither musician nor a producer, but I find myself watching at least two videos of yours a day. I keep wishing I had you for a music teacher. Thank you. Keep up the great work.

[@bobbob-mq9nu]

This is why I love this channel ....

[@chazinko]

Prokofiev's music is so full of life - thanks for communicating that with this video!

[@Opaqu.e]

Nothing to do with djent whatsoever, but nice vid!

[@michaelmoore9347]

I was wondering if I missed it or something

[@steinnbjorn7627]

E.B. White more like shred)

[@user-wd8wx5md5z]

yeah. The only relation is virtuosity..

[@aleverkuhn]

I´ve listened soo many times to Argerich´s first recording of this concerto. It´s one of my favourites pieces ever. Thanks for talking about it.

[@musicborders]

Thank you Rick for motivating and educating us to look deeper into the music and excel at our craft!

[@carlpowell0]

wheres the djent

[@Ignore14]

hidden within the clickbait

[@steevf]

This is one of my most most favorite piano concertos of all time.

[@khryoleoz]

Love that Prokofiev Piano Concerto 3. My fave Prokofiev piece, especially from the Vladmir Ashkenazy cycle...

[@adrianwrona4246]

Man you are amazing! Those cuts over the video are masterpices. ;) Beside of that thanks for all that afford to explain all those bites of music realm. After every single one of them, I feel like I hearing the world in totally different way. Again thanks!

[@monsterram6617]

Djent = onomatopoeia for the distorted, down-tuned, and palm-muted guitar of certain metal riffs. I still like what you did on the piano though. 👍

[@picksalot1]

Yeah, that's the best lick I've ever heard on piano - maybe the best Classical lick on any instrument. I was transfixed the first time I heard Martha play it. She truly is extraordinary. Thanks for displaying the music. I had no idea was on all white keys.

[@122112guru]

The glorious prok 3rd..don't forget that building insistent orch accompaniment behind it in the low strings bsn's Cl's and trumpet SUSing that low f..Great upload mr B.

[@tdubveedub]

Next up: 'How to DJENT like Stravinsky'? Thank you for the quick lesson; informative and VERY entertaining. Nice edits!

[@RobFlaxMusic]

I just chuckled real hard

[@richardharrold9736]

Or Shostakovich. He's basically technical death metal for orchestra.

[@aznargo]

2:37 the pre-licc LICC

[@MatthewEverettGates]

Thank you for that. It's always been so bewildering music. Still is, and yet, I get it now more than before. Great demo!!

[@patbreacadh]

Rick, these videos are excellent! Your channel is amazing generally speaking -- unequalled is the word. The use of an acoustic piano is even a further plus. Even if it appears briefly here, I am a huge of your demonstrations at the piano.

[@nickr.4120]

Prokofiev does a similar thing in his cello concerto, Sinfonia Concertante, in the second movement and it’s also in C major.

[@alanmatthew5713]

AWESOME!! You know, the first time I ever watched Rick Beato, I really never imagined he was quite the musical wizard. He looks more like a construction foreman.

[@noahmaillouxmusic]

Hell yeah Rick! This is the kind of content I really like to see

[@chromabotia]

Thanks Rick, Prokofiev,s 3rd piano concerto is my favorite. Vladimer Ashkenazy does a great job with the LSO and again Andre Previn.

[@user-zl1nz2ju4x]

Nice to see a video about Prokofiev. He is my favorite classical composer at the moment. I even read a study on his harmony(written by Yuri Kholopov).I believe that the music of Prokofiev is also actively studied in American musicology

[@dogdaygod8829]

Great editing, and great info, as always

[@szajbon]

Genius, really love the new video edit!

[@_mrcrypt]

Her expression at 1:50 ... HOT damn!

[@RickBeato]

I know, she's thinking "I'm glad that's over!" and everyone else is thinking OH MY GOD!

[@utubehound69]

At that age she's a dead ringer for a lady i know wow they say everyone has a twin somewhere that's hers. It was cool to watch her get right up w/that wide eyed look. probably coursing with adrenaline I would be. lol

[@slavicobelrus2466]

She doesn't have a soul she sold it to el Diablo

[@josiah566]

More like "it's over ALREADY?"

[@Jimbodawg]

Alvaro Velazquez literally made me drool on myself laughing hahaha

[@YesYouAreAbsolutelyCorrect]

Prokofiev piano concerts - unbeatable.

[@counterw8]

OMG. This was great. Music to my ears. Love the edits.

[@chrissahar2014]

Good chops to play that opening with the clarity you do. Bravo.

[@thrabash]

Prokofiev's piano concerts are all amazing

[@CaptainBohnenbrot]

Nice editing in this one, great job

[@daniellouis6665]

Great title, and the content itself kept me hooked

[@nupfe]

Thank you Rick for this Gem (Nahre Sols YT Channel). As a piano player I'm fascinated about her practicing stuff. Realy great.I subscribed. Thanks.

[@veryfruitfilling]

nupfe wow thanks so much! :))) and Rick is the best!!

[@LewisCannonMusic]

So. Damn. Enjoyable. Good job spreading the music. Millions of unaware youngsters just learned respect for prokofishred

[@jamesmay2083]

Rick and Nahre, now this is some good stuff.

[@NahreSol]

Thanks so much!!

[@CIRCLEOFTONE]

Flight of the bumble C. That was epic. Epic is so overused but that is an epic concerto.

[@seiph80]

Had to watch this video again. Rick you're amazing!

[@Daaoyi]

You, sir, are my favorite youtuber! I am currently digging through theory and experimenting in order to enhance my composing skills. And yes, it's metal. :)))

[@GaaraOfTheFunk606]

Check out Gyorgy Ligeti's 15th piano etude for some great white key stuff! Also you should do some videos on Ligeti's micropolyphonic writing!

[@Fassislau]

I was gonna comment that! :)

[@NoferTrunions]

I discovered the only way to develop one's mental abilities to play Ligeti is to eat nothing but live human brains...

[@hambourghini5023]

Yes please omg the micropolyphony

[@carlosdurancomposer]

Great vid Rick!!! really love this miniature style

[@TyronTention]

I love that concerto so much.

[@LukeDayInTheUK]

Love this. It sounds like so much more than C. Genius.

[@TheJayman213]

I'm not sure how I feel about this channel's gradually increasing level of dank.

[@Danny_Aniss]

After hearing it slowed down by you, I can't help but hear "the lick" in it now even in the up to speed version

[@RickBeato]

+Danny Kross The lick is everywhere:)

[@anarchic_ramblings]

I like his 1st piano concerto. The main theme is epic.

[@mljrotag6343]

Nice! Both those ladies can really play!!

[@brandontylerburt]

I love Martha Argerich's realization of Prokofiev's 3rd. She rocks.

[@littoy]

Now that is some gorgeous piece of music.

[@satanicpunker182]

My god, I love this channel.

[@user-oy7gz5bf2h]

(..don't be that guy don't be that guy...) There was no djent! (..damn it..)

[@RickBeato]

+Julien Valois Dobbie No!! I’m working on a Djent video for real

[@connorcarbon]

was hoping for an actual djent remake of a Prokofiev piece, but this was entertaining enough for me to not be upset

[@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures]

I never understood why when a musician is so technically brilliant it does not move some people. They complain it has no feeling. I disagree. I can feel the tension in not only the music but even metaphorically the struggle of a bird flying in a heavy wind.

[@philipk4475]

Rick doing a video on Prokofiev... very cool! In my opinion, his 5th is his best and severly underplayed - there's a great rendition by Richter though - who else?

[@miarajcevic5546]

I love you man! Greetings from Slovenia. I stared watching you becouse of drums :)

[@jurisdundurs6517]

KFC major?

[@Charlyfromthenuclearcity]

The graviest of all keys.

[@Andrew-mz9rd]

Shut the hell up

[@BATTIS94]

My favorite is the second piano concerto, that first movement slays me every time! I'm particularly fond of the Anna Vinnitskaya rendition on that one (there's a video with the sheets here on youtube). But on everything else Martha is on top of my list hahaha Her performance of Prokofiev's Cinderella for two pianos is also great (I haven't found it on youtube, but the Album It's on spotify). In any case, Prokofiev's works are amazing and worth checking out.

[@MANS4ON-Ce137]

I respect you even more after seeing this video on Prokofiev

[@dentoncrimescene]

Love it.

[@fanatxrona8329]

I never heard someone playing prokofiev third piano concerto better then Martha Argerich. Her interpretation is just amazing

[@andreacassano3991]

Wow! How could I miss this? :)

[@TimothyReeves]

Awesome!

[@nurulfali6218]

thanks for these.... bless you dude

[@UltraD52]

My favorite of all piano concertos!

[@beefheart0]

my favourite Prokofiev's piece

[@rkatz0]

What a load!!!! Wow, I loved this.....so much, thank you!!!!

[@BrettplaysStick]

Great video Rick!!

[@travisv6408]

Great video man!

[@karthiksathian2931]

I'm really happy that I'm a guitar player :P Nice video Rick!

[@thpthp]

I would have sworn this was sped up...until the little dog walked away in real time. Wow!

[@matthewv789]

Check out her Chopin scherzo recordings too (under her real name Alice).

[@davetone2106]

Rippin', nice! Love it!

[@dbilman]

Awesome video Rick!! Martha Argerich sealed that piece forever with her performance from 2008 :)

[@joebevens468]

Awesome lesson Rick!

[@ritual301]

You're editing dept. is getting good Rick. Great vid

[@johnnybluezz]

Great video!

[@TheAloweWolf]

Woah! Nice!

[@stephengould4343]

One of my all time favourite pieces of music.

[@levelont5560]

What are the others! Me wants more of diz! 👶🏽

[@tonyvineberg5879]

Amazing how much can be done with just one major scale.

[@anaamgupta6965]

I would call this shred, rather than djent :) great videos, thanks for your valuable work!

[@lukloberhofer6892]

i turned pages for martha once (a concert for two pianos). she really is a charming human being.

[@mhandel]

Very Nice Rick!

[@EXTREMEKIWI115]

Piano shred just melted my soul.

[@chasvox2]

Holy Moly! WOW!!!!!!!!

[@dev--null]

:) love it. Classical music is unending source of cool ideas realized by pretty smart people :)

[@TwoandaHater]

Love the dog!

[@peterbrough2461]

He must have lain down too close to the pedals.

[@larrybear2382]

I knew those were Nahre Sol's hands. At first I thought the video was just sped up. Then I remembered she can actually play like that.

[@andrewsimple]

Rick I’d love a video where you recall your recording of Between the Dim and Dark, working with Jump, etc. I’m sure they were one of the more enjoyable bands you’ve worked with

[@yoshiYoish]

Oh my! a new challenge for my fingers! ++ Leila's sooo かわい！！in this video~!

[@kyle-silver]

The opening chord of Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales is also only whitekeys, although there are some chromatic interjections -- It's basically some chromatic motion between a Dm13/G and a G6/9 but it's really effective

[@CarlosBenjamin]

Probably my favorite Prokofiev piece...... and the main reason I don’t play piano. I want to play like that but it would take years to get there.

[@ulfgj]

yessss! oh master. teach us about prokofiev! :D
