1-4 are exactly the same. Why would you make a different level for simply adding pedal and legato wtf is this? Lvl 4 is simply playing the music farther and switching hands for some reason. If you’d play a piece it’s probably you’re gonna play it fully, in noob I could to more than level one 10 times
Tablea Gaming Some Western Pros are/were extremely good like Cziffra, Argerich, Horowitz, Liszt, Rachmaninov and so on. All of these pianists are at least as good(mostly better) as Lang Lang for example.

Holy shit, Level 5 sounds like Beethoven just turned to the dark side after years of emotional conflict. What a masterpiece. I’m sure Beethoven himself would’ve loved to hear this.
Requirements for level 1: fingers Requirements for level 2: a brain Requirements for level 3: a little experience in piano and some free time Requirements for level 4: Being descent at piano and a week or two to practice Requirements for level 5: Being immortal to carpel tunnel Having two lifetimes of practice Literally being god Losing your will to live Having no social life Money to buy a few pianos after you break them in frustration
:o isn't it more like his hands: lvl 1: abrupt movements lvl 2: steady. lvl 3: knows the whole song lvl 4: is able to play the whole song -- gracefully and elegantly lvl 5: broken keys
it's like the super mario version, too fast and chaotic to even recognize it. It's like it wants to be every emotion. The intermediate or advanced versions convey much better the essence of the message. There is beauty in simplicity and unnecessary noise with complexity
Für Elise WAS supposed to be a love poem... It was made Simple on purpose, so that she would be able to play it confortably... Well, that is until Beethoven realized she was spoken off to someone, then he created the middle parts just to make sure she would never be able to play it...
Wow! What a stunningly beautiful arrangement and performance! I've seen a thousand different takes on Fur Elise yet I could witness this one a thousand times and still be in awe! Absolutely magnificent!
They say humans are superior for their intelligence. But this person has got to be superior for hand eye coordination and intelligence. (Thank you for hearting my comment)
This guy deserves at least 20 million more subscribers for this, this is absolutely amazing. For me as a two and a half year pianist, I understand how hard this is.
I have never been so entertainment by a video with 2 hands playing the piano! You are just hilarious and really really good! Your story telling is making me think of this new artist (well he is 33 and working for it since age 12) Ren. You also combine many different artistic skill together. Genre bending, storytelling, creating something so beautiful and new! ❤ Thank you for not giving up!
Turn on captions for the full commentary and experience! Note - I wrote this story based on the story of Beethoven and Therese Malfatti, who is the supposed "Elise" in Fur Elise. Supposedly, Elise (Therese) friendzoned Beethoven bigtime, and so I wrote a rather dramatic and heartfelt monologue from Beethoven's point of view (AKA poorly written fanfiction). By many accounts, Beethoven was "stubborn and self-involved, dramatic" and I sought to capture this personality in the story. His actual letter to her wrote: "Now fare you well, respected Therese. I wish you all the good and beautiful things of this life. Bear me in memory-no one can wish you a brighter, happier life than I-even should it be that you care not at all for. Your devoted servant and friend Beethoven."
@Felis Skalkotris Sorabjitus that's some smart comment...I will berate this like an jakckass but wouldn't prove that I can do the same with ease....lol

Fun fact: The woman that Beethoven loved was actually named Therese. The song’s original name was Für Therese but because Beethoven’s handwriting was so bad, the people actually thought it said Für Elise.
I fell in love with piano not long ago, and I have to say that as many pieces as I heard, this is most beautiful one, congratulations! 🎉🎉You're a true inspiration for me. Thank you

The amazing thing i experienced with the extreme version, is i quickly lost track of the melody because of all the flourish and it sounded like a completely different piece, but somehow the feeling i got from it was similar to the original. Awesome.

The captions got me crying, the ned captions got me laughing.
"YOU DARE REFUSE ME, WHENCH"
Same here, can't hold my laugh for this
Fun fact:
The woman that Beethoven loved was actually named Therese. The song’s original name was Für Therese but because Beethoven’s handwriting was so bad, the people actually thought it said Für Elise.
And thas how the name Elise was born :)
Woah
Dam, his handwriting so bad there isn’t even a ‘t’ or ‘h’ anymore.
That means we have something in common
Damn, Beethoven should go to a ‘Most messy handwriting’ contest and win
200k Subscribers!!! Thank you guys so much for your support, without which my channel wouldnt be possible ❤️

Level five Is the best piano song I've ever heard

Camodo Is The Best!!!!!!!!! Yes
The led lights lagged behind him that’s how fast it was
OMG the lights struggle to follow him lol
Yeah, fastest shit I've seen... hey what does glissydissy mean?
@@haaslegato It means to "slide" all the white notes from one point to some other point
This was literally the most impressive thing I've ever seen
Are you a Noob
Haze D I am XD
4:15 When you play the piano so fast even light fails to keep up with you.
😂 😂 lol
Lol😂😂😂😂
faster than light omg
fr
That was satisfying somehow for the light to be chasing his hand lmao
I fell in love with piano not long ago, and I have to say that as many pieces as I heard, this is most beautiful one, congratulations! 🎉🎉You're a true inspiration for me. Thank you
The most
Level 1: your sister who played for a month
Level 2: your sister a week after
Level 3: that kid who practices for an hour a day
Level 4: the kid who practices for an hour a day’s older brother
Level 5: that one Asian kid who can do everything better than you
I get what ya feel, Asian kids are so talented! P.S I am one ☝️ they are talented because their strict parents force them to be! 😂 Like if ya agree!
@@xielian283 so far 2 ppl agree
This literally me but my lil brother
Level 5 is just a guy who practices 40 hours a day

How to make songs hard: add arpeggios
What is arpeggio
Alejandro González The first, third and fifth note of a musical scale played in sequence
And always use seventh chords
correct
@@dre6582 no
I'm not sure if I prefer lvl 5 to your older versions of fur Elise, but that's not the point. We all have preferences, if you like it, then that's good! Also congratz on 200K subs!

@@ajackofalltrades1233 thank you!
My son played this song at his recital and people were just blown away by how beautiful this song is
I really love his insane piano playing but the captions are the reason why I subscribed 😂
XD haha
Hahah Subleme ,, Me too
Better then Romeo and Juliet :):)
Bruh
Same, I love to read your caption.. 😍
OMG thank you!!! I never have CC enabled XD
Imagine being halfway through the “Expert” piece, then missing/hitting the wrong note...
😱 imagine that OMG
He would just draw an extra tile while editing video so you'd not even notice that :)
GaruXo Play nah but it will sound off
When there is so much going on you really dont notice it, its when the simple parts are messed up where it sounds really bad
😵🤪🤯
Nobody:
Asian moms: *now play it backwards*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thats practically impossible 😭
This joke is too old and overused bro
😂
I’m gonna try that 😂😂😅😂
Oh my god. I have been playing Fur Elise since I was in 6th grade but this literally brought me to tears. Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏👏
forreal the captions on this were hilarious, you turned a song into a whole roast diss track of a story
Simon Says agreed. The captions + the level 5 made me gain my intrest on playing piano again after six years. Thanks musical basis!
Level 5 sounds angry... quite a different perspective on such a soft and delicate song.
Turn captions out you'll understand
Part of level 5 was taken from another work by Beethoven. His moonlight sonata, 3rd movement
yeah
It honestly does not sound very good it cools though
It bastardized the whole piece. Not a fan of it
Haha! Ending with Winter Wind. Amazing arrangement and performance!
Anyone else get the “simply piano” ad that plays Für Elise before the video began?
No, but that's what I call a good conscience!
Yep
Yep ( ͡º ꒳ ͡º)
Yessss 😂
Yaaaaaaas and simply piano is great I use it all the time when I am bored it taught me how to play piano like seriously I can play piano !! (Turn on the subtitles and watch)
"I'm ear blind."
- Beethoven
What the-
It disturbs me alot of someone spells something wrong or they say it another way
Ear blind?
You mean Deaf?
@@junmasa7574 it was a joke...
@@junmasa7574 it's just a joke meme people would get. Obviously you don't
@@junmasa7574 "alot of someone spells"
Yup, too dumb to grammatically construct an English sentence, too dumb to get a joke.

EXTREMELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe a person is playing the most hardest level 5 piece
you could use level 5 as an anime op and no one would ever notice
You a anime fan me too recommend me some anime asides from jojo
Pro Pianist death parade is pretty dope
@@propianist3827 what type of anime
@@propianist3827 if you like piano you probably have watched Shigatsu wa kimi no uso (your lie in april) but if you haven't watch it, bet you would cry like a little girl like every one of us watching it😂
My name is Elise And I had always loved this song as a kid because mum told me it was for me. This brings back memories. XD
edit: what the what???? this is like the most likes I've ever gotten!!
Edit 2: now I'm just concerned
For Elise🤣
that’s cute
Dear Elise
Awh that's so cute
@Cringe FTW! Did elise even exist?
I swear reading the subtitled and listening to the playing (especially the extreme part), I could imagine Beethoven looking angrily at Elise while playing this, and saying word for word what you put in the subtitles lol
🤣🤣me too
Yeah the subtitles are just adding to this beautiful cacophony.
0:35 me too this is beautiful c major
When you know that you can't even play noob version
Mayank Mandal I can already play the advance and my friend that is way way WAY younger than me can already play the level 3
Mayank Mandal lmaoo accurate
serene I did lvl 4 after about 2 years piano lessons.
Feel you
Feel you
Imagine getting into an argument with him on text
LMAO underrated comment
Underrated comment for sure!!
I don't get it
Please don't whoosh me
@@Patrickstar-gg6iz can I explain? 😂
Fun fact: If you want to watch Beethoven become a dictator and give a full speech, turn the captions on during Level 5
That's cool
That’s cool
That's cool
That's cool
That's cool
The captions for Level 5 is 👌👌👌
Noob: You only need 2 fingers for this level
Student: smoother playing, but forgot to use pedal
Intermediate: Better dynamics here, legato
My favorite part about Fur Elise - this beautiful C major
Beethoven really loved Elise, didn't he?
Advanced: Even better dynamics, slightly faster tempo
The happy go lucky part. (no one actually likes this section)
This is the hardest part of the original piece
When played tenderly and softly, this piece sounds like a beautiful love poem
I know you're getting bored, so lets bring on Level 5...
Extreme / Epic / Expert: So, Elise be like, "I have a boyfriend," and now Beethoven:
"HOW DARE YOU REJECT ME, WENCH?" (proceeds to bang the piano which he can't hear)
"I spent so many hours writing this piece fur you. And now you turn your back on me?"
"Ok I lied... it probably took me 20 minutes"
"But sill! Do you have any idea the number of nights I spent thinking about you?"
"You were my immortal beloved..."
"I still remember when you first came to my piano studio"
"You were my favorite student. By far."
"I was enamoured by your grace. Your beauty, and your tenderness"
But clearly, you did not feel the same
Many women proposed to me over the years, but the whole time, I only had you in my mind.
But clearly it is all over now.
You're nothing to me anymore.
I will bear the scars of this pain.
I will RISE FROM THE ASHES
I may be losing my hearing. But I have not lost my brain
The symphonies in my head... the string quartets, the sonatas, they yearn to be written
And I. Will. NOT. Let the likes of you stop me from becoming immortal.
From ashes to ashes, we all must pass through life
You can't take it with you. But you can leave behind a legacy.
So you have decided to marry that buffoon merchant. I get it. He's rich while I'm just a poor composer
But do you now see what's inside my soul?
Do you not hear the purity of my music, its strength and its power?
Instead all you see is money. Oh and he's taller, which is also your preference
But so what if I am just a poor composer with failing hearing?
I too deserve love. I too want kids.
You could have been remembered as Beethoven's wife. As my queen, my empress, my angel
Instead, you will e forgotten in the sands of time.
People will worship my name forever, but they will never know the hole in my heart that you have left me
Now fare you well, respected Elise! I wish you all the good and beautiful things in this life."
Bear me in memory - no one can wish you a brighter, happier life than I -
Even should it be that you care not at all for me...
Sincerely... your devoted servant and friend...
~Ludwig van Beethoven
Quietly, Beethoven leaves Elise's apartment complex, walking towards the city outskirts
"Now. I have no more distractions."
It's time to meet my destiny.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PRINCES. BUT THERe IS ONLY ONE BEETHOVEN.

If you didn't turn on the subtitles at least on Level 5, you missed a hell lot of emotions.
Thx for reminding: I forgot
“I WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES” I like that part 😂😂

What they teach you at school: Level 1
The work they give you: Level 2
The project they give you: Level 3
The mini quiz they give you: Level 4
The assessment they give you: Level 5

“My brother doesn’t count, seriously, that guy is bonkers, and Chopin, you suck” 🤣🤣🤣
Name:musical basics
Piano:the basic kind
Song melody: *gotta go fast yet graceful*
"Chopin, you suck too"
i wheezed.
Ryt
Where?😂
Oh I see now lmao
The amazing thing i experienced with the extreme version, is i quickly lost track of the melody because of all the flourish and it sounded like a completely different piece, but somehow the feeling i got from it was similar to the original. Awesome.
6:34 Its changes to winter wind...
ÑÏGHT ÌÑẞSÎDË IKR!? 😂 and when the caption says “Chopin you suck too” I was laughed so hard 😂😂😂
What song/piece do you want to see 5 levels video on next? Come up with some crazy suggestions!
Ballade no. 1
La campanella
Winter wind
Hedwigs theme, the entertainer, F L I G H T O F. T H E. B U M B L E B E E
Megalovania
Solfeggietto by CPE Bach
La Campanella would be very interesting to see, or if not eine kleine nachtmusik mov 1. is a good alternative.
Edit: Hungarian Dance no. 5 Brahms would be epic too.
Level 1: American Elise
Level 2: Australian Elise
Level 3:British Elise
Level 4:Every other country Elise

The song is genius, the pianist is unbelievable. The music captured me.
Imagine playing all 5 of these levels in public and the amount of audience built up after ! This would be insane !
At 4:15 his hand actually goes faster than the light coming from the keys like holy cow 0.0

After 1minute of simply piano practice: 0:09
After 1 day of piano practice: 0:23
After 1 week of practice: 0:52
After 1 month of practice: 1:52
1:59 even if he missed some notes no one would notice🤣🤣🔥🔥
