You can tell she absolutely loves music. The look on her face the entire time says it all
'Tis true! I'm so grateful that music found me 😊
but how can she not know interstellar theme
@@VictoriaTheodoreyou are magic ❤️
@@brownlashawn56 🙏🏽☺
Everybody loves music
This is probably my fav so far from the drumeo and Pianote series. It’s just so impressive! She needed to figure out the song, figure out an approach to playing it, apparently memorize it and then have the dexterity to be able to play it… but also play it with a lot of emotion and character. It’s just insane!
Thank you so much! It was definitely an exciting challenge!
Great job! Awesome
🙏🏽☺@@bplusmc1
@@VictoriaTheodore Nice! I don’t often do this, but I feel you would appreciate learning about jamesmillergospelpianist. It’s a wonderful story. Google it. Thanks!
It’s a very cool video. My fav is ii on drumeo
(Edit) - they’re close
Amazing how she clocked it by ear, then once she felt it and got cozy with it, she made it her own, absolutely astounding talent this lady
Thank you so much 😊
@@VictoriaTheodorewhat I found impressive is that you had so much more flow and grace when you made the piece your own rather than trying to follow the imho busy and a bit clumsy original arrangement. I always found it a bit over the top - the original piece is rather minimalist and the power comes from the church organ. Anyway super impressive as everyone is saying :)
@@MiegmaishMenas🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
respectfully, interstellar isn't that hard to play from ear, it's mainly 4 chords over and over
Respectfully, what is your point?
The definition of genius is going from A to C without doing B, she's literally boiled down so much complexity into simpler hand placement, while improving the arrangement.
Outstanding!!
🙏🏽☺️🙏🏽
While making several mistakes too
@@alanmatkovic3221 Definitely mistakes! But sometimes inspiration rises from the errors ☺
Cornfield Chase (or as I call it, the Interstellar song 😜) is easily one of my most favorite songs. Funny she mentions (not by name) the movie Arrival, which is one of my most favorite movies. Both these movies invoke the most mind bending interception of time and reality. I never would’ve had that correlation if they weren’t mentioned together in this video. 🤯 Super cool!! She has amazing talent!! 😍
🙏🏽☺
She's got a super computer for a brain. Not only did she nail the song, but went beyond it and made it better. Unreal talent.
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Made it better ? Hold your horses thats a masterpiece lol made it her own and was really good yes but lets not compare
@@robertoc.480 If we aren't comparing the soudntrack but rather the only Piano arrangement she had to study, she defenitly did a better job at conveying emotion. I don't think Mr.Zimmer would be bothered by this so why would you ?
@@robertoc.480 Person is lacking some IQ to assert it went way beyond the original composition.
Yes she Dan does
I'm more impressed that she doesn't know this song.
Exactly 😂
It's a song for a movie she probably hasn't seen it or been on the Internet all that much
@@HungNguyen-jk5ll she says she's a singer, song writer, composer, music director. I think she should listen to everything she could, even noises. There is no excuse for that.
@@HungNguyen-jk5ll there is literally no way you would not know about Interstellar ... Especially if you work in the field of music
Never watched the film and does not have to be on tik tok wasting her time.
I’d pay money to just sit on a pillow experience this unfold in person. The way she lights up is infectious and incredible to watch.
🙏🏽☺️
This is crazy the amount of hard work it takes to realize a feat like we just witnessed on that video. A master of its craft.
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
YES!
This is jaw dropping and beautiful 💯Thank you Victoria and pianote for this Interstellar performance😅
Thank you for watching!🤩🙌🏼
Thank you 😊
Well said mate , well said.
Not enough appreciation for musical genius like this. We need to highlight the musical arts more, it's the soul of humanity
Thank you so much 🙏🏽☺
I totally agree.
There's talent and there's genius.
Musicians of this calibre really should have a genius level youtube genre thing going. Us mere mortals can simply just watch and be amazed. I know I am.
@@fredfred2363 🙏🏽🥰
Watching her actually made me cry. Damn, she’s special - and I’ve bever heard of her before now
To see someone who has mastered their craft to this degree! That’s so awesome!!!
🙏🏽☺
❤@@VictoriaTheodore
it is unbielevable !!!!
I actually love Victoria’s version of the song from Interstellar.. she’s a genius
*Cornfield Chase
Always loved Victoria Theodore.. my God what a talent.
The guts she had to approach that impossible piece was amazing. Fearless and and fearful at the same time. - Hans Zimmer will love it. I'm Shure as a SM58.
I literally get emotional watching these videos. To know that there are humans out in this world capable of producing such beautiful things makes my soul feel lighter. Brava to this woman. What. A. Magician.
Aww thank you so much! 🙏🏽☺ I feel the same watching the content creators that I see. There's soooo much talent in the world!
I started smiling because I saw myself at her level even tho I’m a beginner and it doesn’t seem impossible but rather fun to see someone play a song just by ear. 🙏🏽🔥 she’s a truly blessed musician.
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
Whatever instrument you play you learn this skill by doing it. Take an easy melody and try figure it out then keep going on to harder stuff.
Learn common chord progressions, cadences and learn how different intervals sound.
20 mins a day will show big results in just 1 year
@@christo2690 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is unbelievable. I can't believe that she was able to play this on her first time hearing it. She's soo talented.
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
Dude are you stupid...? This is definitely staged, what kind of pianist never heard Interstellar before
I fail to understand how a professional piano player has never heard this piece before in so many years. Brilliant nonetheless
There's so much music in the world, and I've never been a big movie goer... 🤷🏽♀
That's like asking why a pro chef hasn't eaten the newest offering from Taco Bell.
@@codetech5598No where near the same.
@@VictoriaTheodoreI wish you would do and upload more as a series. 😊
classical musicians tend to miss most of what's happening in the pop scene
but instead they know every other classical music player and their instruments
I love watching people with personality just enjoy their craft whilst being humbly incredible
This is so fun to watch - just unbelievable that she figures it out by ear. Incredibly talented!!!
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊❤
Unbelievable that she could arrange the whole piece on the spot. Yet more unbelievable is the fact that she hadn't heard the song before.
fr like am i supposed to believe she is this good at piano and has never heard INTERSTELLAR???
@@b3njamMMVII yes? There are infinitely more interesting piano pieces out there
@@b3njamMMVII Interstellar is not a piano piece tho
Literally held my breath!! Released it, and had tears in my eyes. She is amazing isn't she?!
🙏🏽☺
She is indeed a cool person. She is definitely a studio musician try not to miss details. This version is so nice to listen everytime I hav goosebumps.
😊🙏🏽
I love that Pianote is starting to do this type of video like Drumeo! What a song to learn by ear! My brain gets tired trying to learn to read music, so it's kind of nice to know even super skilled and experienced pianists sometimes face their own brain-tiring challenges!
It was definitely a challenge, but also exciting and fun ☺
At first I thought the blonde girl was Kris 😂
I know nothing about music but watching her moved me to tears. Thank you.
My man 😭 she is so good with everything 😫 she fr nailed it with her version. What a talented woman she is!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽☺
She's definitely talented, this is not a simple piece.
this is possibly the most impressive thing ive ever seen
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
Amazing! And genius to play a hans zimmer composition by ear. I also loved her energy.
🙏🏽☺
The fact Victoria's version sounded like it was the ending cresendo of the song somoothly giving it a diminuendo to finish the score.
Truly inspiring to watch you in your craft, Victoria. Your spirit shows through in this epic rendition of Cornfield Chase and the rest of your work. Y’all gotta check her out!
Thank you so much 🙏🏽☺
This is one of those songs that is so amazing on piano and has been played literally everywhere.. it's really hard to believe any pro pianist under the age of 90 hasn't heard this before.
I love her energy and she is so talented and passionate about music. To be able to know the notes right away after hearing it and playing it, is mind blowing.
🙏🏽☺
THIS IS DOPE! She’s a musical genius! To learn by just hearing wow
🙏🏽 😊
It’s just practice like anything else
@@thesethreekings sooo are you saying that to say that this isn’t dope? Or is she not a musical genius? I’m confused.
@@gpthe2nd That often hard practice gets mistaken for genius
@@thesethreekings I don’t even have a comment in reply for you.
From one genius (Hans Zimmer) to another (Victoria). Beautifully executed. I didn't know her, she's amazing.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽☺
As someone who only studied the super fundamental music theory back in high school and has no talent in playing piano, this is so insane and so mind-blowing to me. It just shows that human is capable of doing sooo much of complex thing. To think Theodore exists in the world as I am is so, so incredible... This video just left me speechless and amazed.
Thank you so much! I love that social media allows us all to see how much talent is in the world. I'm inspired daily by so many amazing creators 🙏🏽☺
@@VictoriaTheodore you're most welcome Theodore, and omg thank you for replying! I'd like to take this opportunity to say, thank you for inspiring me and other people! ❤️
WOWSERS! She was incredible! Talk about motivation, thanks for sharing!
The tears just started flowing when she played her version omg
🙏🏽☺
Victoria!!! I can literally see the endearing smile your dad would get on his face while boasting about how gifted you are as I listen to you play this! This is amazing!!
Very impressive... Victoria is a very talented pianist. Imagine giving her a week to practice. She would play it better than the original.
🙏🏽☺
You can really see that this wonderful lady is having a blast while figuring out what's happening and playing!
Watching her smiling and laughing while listening and getting all the little tricky details is just marvelous!
And she made me want to get back to my piano and practice even though I'm completely rusted (and I never
was good to begin with).
And her joy is so contagious!
Lady Victoria Theodore, you are a true joy and pleasure to watch and listen playing!
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺ And I encourage you to get back to your piano. Your experience is YOURS and music is the gift that awaits you ☺
@@VictoriaTheodore Thank you, you're so adorable! ☺🙏
I actually went back to it and I nearly missed my time to go to work because I was having such a great time
even though I am really rusty and I couldn't play any actual piece (just fiddling and letting my hands go where
they wanted to go). And now I go to it once a day (even if just for 30-60 minutes) because I really want to be
able to play something decent. (I think my guitar might be a little jealous though 🤣)
So thank you for this video and for your kindness and encouragements! 🙏☺
@@TheNehethawa Ah I love that! There's something so lovely about being lost in time with music. But I hope you don't miss your job! 😆
Enjoy every moment 😊
@@VictoriaTheodore Don't worry I didn't miss job: I'm used to "zone out" when I do something I like (music, reading, writing,
processing photographs [but always with some music in the background when not playing some, I just can't live in complete
silence]) so I always set a timer to the moment when I absolutely have to go before getting late and another 10 minutes earlier 😅
And yes that feeling of getting lost in the moment is so great !
At first I thought by reading the title: interesting but I don’t believe it. But then throughout out the video it seemed more legit. Then when she starts playing OMG! She captured the soul of the song and made little tweaks in the song that still describe and show the soul of the song. doing that from scratch is INSANE! Really inspiring! I’m a fan of Victoria now! Thanks! 🙏🏾🤩
Wow. Thank you so much! 🙏🏽☺
It’s cool watching pros do their thing
I can't believe people can be this talented. Their ears are highly attuned to the sounds of music. I wonder what they hear in their everyday lives without music 😆
I'm not a piano player and I don't plan to play. But watching the series "on the spot" is so fascinating peek into human creativity and the professional level these musicians excel. Respect!
Absolutely loved watching this! Watching a musician just break it down and their process helps me see how they do it.
🙏🏽☺
I can't hear this music without tearing up.....that movie and its music are on another level.
🙏🏽☺️
Mix emotions while she do and play her arrangement goosebums 😮
I just want to write once again: what a beautiful piece of music this is (and she nailed it!)
This was absolutely incredible to watch. Clearly, Victoria is a master of the piano and playing by ear, but in many ways it gave me faith as a beginner. We experience the same emotions when playing an instrument, whether we are masters or beginners. The important thing is to have the courage to dive in, make mistakes, and enjoy the musical journey.
Thank you! And you're completely correct. One of my favorite things about music is that there's always room for growth. It's a beautiful journey, not a destination ☺
At a certain point I was quite literally agape listening to her performance...it's not often a performance brings a tear to my eye but this definitely did it.
🙏🏽😊
Totally blown away - an absolutely beautiful rendition - shows she has great skills but even more impressive musical ear. A true musician that has made others who stand in front of her look great.
Both Victoria’s process and product are beautiful. She relishes the challenge, and we are all rewarded for it.
🙏🏽☺️
Honestly big ups to put herself out there testing like a new piano concept, not necessarily getting everything right but instead creating her own interpretation. Somehow I feel like drumming feels a bit easier to actively listen to, but I might be wrong. Super fun to watch!
🙏🏽☺
This is one of my favorite pieces of all time and it was amazing to watch her work through this. I love Pianote!
Pianote is the best! ☺
Brings my heart joy to know that talented people like this exist.
Wow. I just love how Victoria Theodore has so much fun with figuring out the arrangement and then making it her own! Spectacular transcription and playing. Wow!
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
this is mind blowing 🙃@VictoriaTheodore thank you for that out of body experience!!!
🙏🏽☺
Omg this was so fun to watch!!! I just wish this was a longer vid but overall I loved watching her learn through the song by ear
🙏🏽☺
This old man doesn't cry much but that song means a lot to me. I saw Interstellar with my son at an Imax the day the movie was released. I've watched it easily a thousand times since. The soundtrack is something that is lost to me after hearing it so many times. It's just seamless and complete. I've never given thought to "Cornfield Chase" but I instantly knew what part of the movie and of course this hauntingly beautiful piece. What a blessing to be able to listen to something so complicated, watch it broken down into parts, and played not to perfection but prefectly played. Drumeo turned me onto this kind of content and I am so happy it is also done on piano. Happy to sub.
Wow. Thank you for sharing your story, and for your kind words 🙏🏽
Just recently saw it at an IMAX as well. What a difference that made to a living room viewing! The sound, visuals, and everything made me even forget I was in public watching the film; I was just engrained in the movie.
Love everyone and everything here. Video and audio tech work, in addition to composition, and the love of music flowing in fellowship through hearts, hands, there, and to all of us out here....
Thank you!!!!!
One of my favourite things in music is when you can tell something's being created through pure inspiration, and it still comes out perfect. 6:20 is one of the best examples of that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Wow. Thank you so much 🙏🏽 😊
Loving this... as someone who has very little technical musical knowledge, she let me discover more to this piece. more depth and more variations even after all this time. it's a beautiful homage to a beautiful piece of music.
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
I am loving this series of artist learning songs on the spot
I''m not surprised her brain is "Quite tired" after that. What a talented lady.
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
@0:25 in and I love you already, girl! These skills, that beautiful musical mind. I'm on binge watching mode!
Zimmer is one of my favorite composers. I don't think I could pick a favorite between him, Giacchino, and Elfman.
That was impressive. Though she didn't get quite everything, she sure melted into the experience. Love her
This is why it is important to get your sight-reading to the highest level possible. Then you can play any music immediately without having to spend so much time trying to learn it by ear.
I'm so grateful I developed my reading and ear training. It's all useful 🙏🏽
Damn!!! One of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
Victoria is an amazing pianist and wonderful teacher!! Big thumbs up
Insane! I definitely hope to see more of this kind of content. It's a good idea.
The input, processing and output is so amazing, its almost as if she has sound-color synesthesia! Cheers on learning it instantaneously 🎉
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
When she was listening to it, she didn't seem nervous, frightened or confused, she was just excited. She was confident from the top and has the talent to back it up. Just watching her hands move is mesmerizing - 5:50 gave me goosebumps. Her love for the art is palpable. Plus she's fun and charismatic! I would LOVE to see a conversation between her and Hans Zimmer.
Thank you! And I would love that! I still haven't seen this movie, but I saw Dune and thought the score was phenomenal! 🤩🤩
Omg this is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! Victoria is a remarkably talented lady
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Glorious, just beautiful. Her laugh while her brain is in overdrive is just magical 😊❤
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
One amazing thing I learned about music is that knowing it on a technical level doesn't diminish how emotionally engaging it still is. Music is so easy to love.
This shows that dedication, a lot of practicing and breathing music can make you do wonderful things.
As usual, I am in awe of your genius and talent. You are such a consummate pro!
I’m honored to know you! FELIZ NAVIDAD
Gracias, mi hermano! 🙏🏽☺💖
omg....the final...what a beatiful song she did....can you guys put on spotify????
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
Can we get a timer on these to see how long it takes them to get from start to finish? This is so incredible!!!
It's a piece or a track or a film score, it's not a SONG! A SONG HAS SINGING IN IT! Now that I have that out of my system, this is a lovely video.
I completely understand. Most non-musicians don't make the distinction, so we often default to common parlance. My piano teacher would be equally upset at the mislabeling!
@@VictoriaTheodore Lovely playing by the way. God bless
@@amrshalabymusic Thank you 🙏🏽😊
She is unreal! What a talent.. a true pianist and musician ❤
Thank you 🙏🏽😊
the talent on display in these videos is simply astounding. thank you for humbly allowing us to peak inside your incredible musical mind!
🙏🏽☺
This moved my soul. Thank you Victoria for sharing your gift with the world 💕
I've never seen a more beautiful transition from Score to Pop and back to Score. Like a true lesson in the differential of space in music. How music can throw your mind from wanting to focus to instantly wanting to sway and move with it.
Incredible.
This artist is an absolute savant! When all your hairs stand up and you feel a WOOOOSHHH over your body, you know it's special. Her awesome personality also made this more enjoyable.
Thank you 🙏🏽💖☺
Victoria is a beautiful soul. Good player. Stevie wonder, Arsenio hall, Beyonce. I love the Music that she reads.
Thank you! 🙏🏽🥰
Incredible!! Victoria Theodore is such an amazing talent! Such dedication to her craft! Inspiring always!
Gracias mija 🙏🏽☺💖
In tears of amazement, absolutely beautiful ❤ We'll done! and thank you for this inspiration 💕 Magical 🎩
🙏🏽☺
Absolutely amazing! But my favorite part of this song is the hypnotic note on E that should be played almost throughout the entire song on every beat. But playing by ear on this song is crazy!
This is profoundly magical.
Amazing. I wish they shared how long it took the artist to learn the song to give some further sense of the process and effot.
This might just be the craziest take I have ever seen!
Victoria is an amazing talent as demonstrated in this video. This was fun to watch. 😊
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏽☺💖
Ok i gotta admit these series are the best. Music is the best. I love it
She’s incredible.
I'm in actual awe the fact that she played the song by only hearing it just blows my mind,she is a pure definition of talent!
🙏🏽😊
