thx for your offer. should you call the video a bit different? because the background is verry noisy. i did not expect. so it was soooo hard to concentrate on her sound.
This is the most baller response to mansplaining that I’ve ever seen. Him: Do you even know what a piano is? Her: do you? I actually cried. I’m so impressed by her concentration level too-very impressive and I wish I had it!
Every time I watch this video, and I've watched it plenty of times, I get emotional. It's the rawness of it, the way she sits and takes over the piano and gives us this beautiful melody, and how it grows and how her expressing herself through music grows too. It's so beautiful.
I 100% agree, I’ve watched hundreds of hours of yt and this is still my favourite video out there. Literal goosebumps every time. My dream is to play like her one day
May be she is not the most talented pianist in the world. But the feelings she bring to this piece is awesome. I literally trapped in this video. Müthiş.
This song being played while people casually run and walk by to to their destination made me think about how time passes. So beautiful and so sad , a subtle bliss
@@naryatiwari3094 I didnt know that either! I could see she was doing something but wasnt sure what. I used to play, in my teens, and really appreciated her talent 🙏❤
I honestly don't get how you don't stop and take this in. I feel extremely sorry for all the people in too much of a hurry to enjoy such a beautiful moment in time.
@juqual78 it looked like it may have been an airport or something relating to transport because there was a lot of people with luggage, it is beautiful but at the same time I wouldn't want to waste my $300 plane ticket by missing the flight (if it is an airport). If they had enough time to stop and take it in then I truly agree
Maybe they all had to poop really bad so they were all rushing to the bathroom. No but seriously, what Djaytekz said. Beauty is in the 'ear' of the beholder.
There may not be people standing to watch, but there are 25 million people who have watched her play. Now imagine a huuge arena filled with 25 million people and she is playing Interstellar with the same emotion, the same integrity, the same tempo, and you feel for a moment that you are transported somewhere surreal.
I was mesmerized as well. I thought of turning off the sound just to concentrate on the dance of the fingers. It was amazing. Like at the five minute mark.
Only a fellow pianist could understand how insanely good she is because she makes it look so easy. The first part of the song is not hard and virtually anyone who knows how to play piano could do it. So when I read a title that says “Most insane cover,” I’m expecting to be blown away. About halfway through the song, she DID blow me away and she just kept going. By the end, my jaw was almost on the floor.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania I agree! Even this song in its most simplest form is beautiful! I was referring to the title, “Most Insane Cover.” It wasn’t “insane” at first: it was just good. But by the end it was truly insane. To date it is the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania doesnt matter, its the sound track from the movie. then again she still has a long way with the consistency pressing down the weighted keys. She is either a semi novis, or used to play on a keyboard that hasnt got weighted keys at all
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania jazz can be both easy and hard aswell. same with classical music. But in many cases classical music is harder than jazz which also can make you look pretty good with an untrained ear/eye. A bunch of scales and licks. Good improvisation if that is what you are thinking of is very rare of course.
I'll say as well, she had obviously practiced the shit out of this song. She didn't just walk up to a piano and thought oh let me just whack out interstellar quickly. This might've taken her months and months of practice. Still absolute talent, but I think you weirded it wordly to act as if she hadn't prepared for this moment. I'm a pianist and if I stop and play a piano, people only see me playing the piece there and then, but they dont see the years of practice I've put behind it, but that doesn't make it easy for me, it means I've trained my ass off to be there.
@@Rob-nv7ew I'm a classically trained pianist too. The piece is in A minor, which is related to C Major. I'm sure you know that A minor is the easiest minor key to play on the piano because you hardly have to play the black keys. And yes I agree with you that she's practiced the piece for quite some time before performing this. Those nails though, ugh!
As someone who plays piano, when you see a pianist swaying back and forth and looking down, they’re putting their whole heart and soul into each key, what a beautiful video.
You're so right, and likewise piano player here (Juilliard-trained). She totally drew me into her world of interpretation and excellence. She has that new age aura, and it's fantastic. Sounds a bit like George Winston. He makes two hands sound like four.
@@jerry3579 Wrong. She doesn't even have her hands arched properly on the keyboard because of her long nails. She's okay, but not great. Let's get real. You people are gushing because she's blond and pretty And yes I'm a classically trained pianist too, and this performance would be good for a school concert. A Grade 4 level at best. Compare her to this pianist ruclips.net/video/KDhsdPzX6o4/видео.html
The moment she sat down, time stood still for her and everyone in her world, yet time almost seemed to speed up for everyone else flying by…..Simply an incredible performance
The Interstellar soundtrack always makes me emotional. It reminds me of being a lost teenager, walking in the sunset and hoping for things that I couldn’t put to words. Incredible talent.
When the piano becomes your friend, you're not playing notes. You're truly dancing over the keys and are playing the piano. The notes flow from your mind through your hands and the keys to the ears, where they create a wonderfull sensation. Here demonstrated by a truly gifted friend of the piano. Respect Ella.
I was about to comment something very similar then thought I'd stick as a reply on here. Once she found her groove and got comfortable, the composition played itself, she was just the vessel in which it seeped out of, true musicianship at hand
Why is this making me want to cry right now? My dad taught me to play piano, but I'm very much an amateur. I was classically trained as a cellist - and I loved the cello - but my heart is with the piano. I got a used piano in my house last week, and even though I'm nowhere near classically trained, I love it. I love it so much. It calms me, it doesn't judge me, I can mess up and start again. To make music is a gift, even at the most elementary level.
imagine how many hours shes spent behind a piano practicing this song and getting frustrated and reading sheet music. Her playing this tells an entire story. She's a true lover of her instrument.
Contrary to popular belief, its really not that hard of a song to learn. Easy key, and in the fast part at the end, her hands don't have to move across the keyboard. Its really an intermediate song
This is amazing. My hubs and I just watched "Interstellar", for the first time, a week ago! That movie tore me up!! I cried and cried. Hearing this again, so soon, is so glorious and emotional ❤.
@@Revvverie1118 exactly. $50 gets you a ticket to a 2-hour concert for most bands but stopping to hear a 5 minute song randomly at an airport can make you lose 6 hours of your day waiting for the next flight.
Mike, I suspect that's more to do with the piano, the venue, and having a camera in her face. I'm sure she'd be able to take it up a notch or two on a concert grand in a decent hall.
@@MikeJohnson-qy4wq agreed, I'm still very pleased to see young people playing the piano and she is probably still a lot better than me (unless this is the only piece she knows) however you watch a true concert level pianist play Franz Lizst, now that is master level skill
@@paladinlifestyle nobody said she’s a master pianist at the level of concert pianists, just that her ability to play this without a sheet is impressive
Oh my God! I'm in tears! This song always moves me so much, and this version even more! From the greatest movie of all time! This girl is so talented!! Congratulations to her. Much success in her career! And congratulations to you too for giving space to such a talent 👏🏼👏🏼
This was not flawless😂 this is shit. I have been playing piano for 14 years, learned classical music, I went to music school for 12 years and I participated on several piano competitions through the years. So I can assure you that this performance is worthless. And for us pianists who really can play the piano, this is unbearable to hear and to watch.
@@Sacha_Sayan yeah it hurts my eyes to watch. Her technique is one of the worst I have ever seen. She is an amateur. If my piano teacher saw this she would poke her eyes out lol
I dont know what is more incredible, composing this masterpiece, or actually memorizing and making your fingers move like that on a piano. She is incredible! Brought me to tears in epic interstellar fan-cry!
It is easier to compose your own music than play someone else’s compositions so flawlessly.. unbelievable muscle memory and dedication to her instrument
La mejor interpretación de Interstellar que he escuchado, y he escuchado muchas y por pianistas muy reconocidos. Felicidades a esta pianista por su magnífica interpretación y además incorporando sentimiento ... cosa que la hace especial. Saludos
Am i the only one who never gets tired of hearing interstellar theme? I mean, whenever i see 'interstellar theme' in the thumbnail, i watch it without having any second thoughts
I’ve played piano and her rhythm and consistency throughout the piece is insane. It made me sad though, she is so in the moment literally creating gorgeous music and everyone in the background is literally running and rushing to where they have to go. We miss so much when we are too busy to enjoy the little things.
Don't worry, the hard working, the scientists, and the creators of beautiful things will get to leave this earth while the useless consumers who take everything for granted will be left behind
I would've stopped to listen without hesitation. Interstellar is one of my favorite movies and the music is part of what makes it one of my favorites. That girl is incredible wth!
The music is what drew me to this movie. The plot and the message and the idea of survival instinct and a need for exploration and the never ending ability of survival humanity has is a perfect combination with this score, beautiful.
Not something I’d normally click on, and a minute or two later I’m watching, unblinking, with tears streaming down my face. Thank you, Ella. And thank you, Andrei.
There’s someone out there making sure these public pianos are good enough to let musicians show us the beauty of live acoustic music. That is a public service.
It's only a public service and desirable when convenient. You'd be surprised how many children are pressured into taking "safe" subjects in school over art and music, and people don't realise the need for practice at louder volumes. Many are content to consume music, but don't give musicians any real credit or space to perfect their craft, nor do they get paid much (if at all).
And Drama...(as a previous Drama teacher). The ' careers' interviewer did encourage students to the academic and this was from the students telling me. We NEED the arts, all of them.
The contrast between the pianist immersed in her world and the people going by in theirs as if being in two different places is so much like the movie. Just fantastic!
That literally looks so complex, the ways she's moving her fingers so flawlessly. Interstellar is one of the best music scores ever made imo and she just played this so beautifully. I have no words. I wonder how long it took to learn that. I love Hans Zimmer and his work so this was a real treat. Edit: If you don't know already, Hans Zimmer composed the soundtrack for The Prince of Egypt and partnered with John Powell (guy who wrote the incredible soundtrack for How To Train Your Dragon) on Kung Fu Panda's soudntrack.
This song always makes me feel the strangest emotion. It’s a mixture of pure happiness and sadness at the same time. I feel it in my heart and my stomach, all at once. It’s amazing and really scary. Tears of joy and sadness. It’s amazing. I can always take 5 minutes out of my day to listen to this song.
This reaches even the coldest soul in the deepest pit of despair. If anything survives our time, let this sort of spontaneous beauty never die. Thank you
I've watched tons of piano covers of this piece but I always find myself coming back to this one. I even just checked out the remastered one and still I can't help but prefer this video. The setting, the background noise, the piano, the people coming and going with their own lives, the pianist who disconnects herself from the rest of the world for a moment, the piece of music itself, it's all just comes together perfectly and is very...human.
This young lady is incredibly talented!!! Such a beautiful piece and so well played... Many hours of practice to cultivate her ability, Her parents must be proud!!!
I go through that station a lot and there are often really gifted musicians playing that piano, and it never fails to amaze me how people walk past completely unmoved. It always grabs me and pulls me in and reminds me that I'm glad to be human. I can't understand how other people don't stop.
I have yet to see a single video of anyone playing this song to this degree of complexity…and by memory. Even when Zimmer plays it himself, it doesn’t go this far. She’s amazing.
This young lady is just 17 years old, self taught playing for just 3 years. An absolute genius. How can anyone play a complex Hans Zimmer piece over 5 minutes long without a single error? Incredible.
It's called passion, dedication, long hours of playing the instrument and last but not least - talent. Now regarding talent that's more intricate of a story, one either has it or not at all. Talent cannot be bought nor taught. Here's a new musician who plays the piano with passion. Enjoy. ruclips.net/video/3oxjjPcjibo/видео.html&start_radio=1
This girl is lying for sure, like we all know what an 18 year old girl looks like??! And she said she was 17 when this video was recorded! Are u kidding me?
I didn’t want her to stop playing. So beautiful. Really enjoyed that. A self taught pianist and only playing for 3 years? Incredible. Really blows my mind.
@@roberttitan4497 you know that there's a rumour that he doesn't compose his own music anymore? and it's the people working for him that do lol... it's so strange but interesting
As someone who plays piano and has had long natural nails, it is NOT easy playing piano with nails like those! Also, I love how, over the course of a few minutes, most of the strangers walking by notice her music. It’s beautiful to watch.
It is almost impossible to play perfectly with nails this long in terms of phrasing or dynamics in generell. In most piano pieces the pinky finger has to be the strongest cause the notes played by it have to be louder than the other ones. You can only develop full strength in your fingers if the fingers are upright and your fingertips touch the keys. The fingers shouldnt kink which is not the case as you can see on her left hand while she is playing. It was an amazing performance anyways!
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever created and it's rather crazy that it was created not in the time of Beethoven and Mozart but when I was alive. It's timeless, ironically enough considering the film to which it belongs. Interstellar wouldn't have been the same without this song and this song wouldn't have been the same without Interstellar. Once in a lifetime kind of combination. The epitome of gestalt. And of course she nailed this performance, incredibly impressive to be able to do so without any prior planning or preparation.
Not to be a dick here but: "Interstellar wouldn't have been the same without this song and this song wouldn't have been the same without Interstellar. Once in a lifetime kind of combination. The epitome of gestalt." The reason that people combine this piece with the images is one of the reason why so many here hail it is a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, it is wonderful and it works magic in the film and as part of it. But without it, people really wouldn't be so fussed about it. Heck, I even imagine people sighing because it's just another piano thing someones plays. It is not that much of a complicated piece. Which is also not an indicator for anything, of course. Just if we really take this category 'one of the most beautiful songs ever created' seriously then there are tons of other pieces that would come to my mind - stuff that never had a film accompany it too.
I agree. I haven't watched Interstellar yet and don't see why RUclips freaks out about the various covers. It is probably the connection with the movie that makes it outstanding.
If I may, excluding the movie from this entirely, there is a huge-HUGE difference between a novice constructing a song where certain notes, chords and melodies may be selected simply becsuse the composer likes the sound of it... VS a highly distinguished composer making specific and deliberate intent to actually emphasize that tune, melody, chord progression or what have you..and turn it into a series chapters, with the entire scope of the song being a story. What did I just mean by the way in tldr? The melody does not need to be complex ..his deliberate intent on making that simple tone the centerpiece of the entire song and building upon it to make it a grandiose piece of work is actually fkn marvelous. It is very, very difficult to make a simple melody and weave it in and out of the entire song withOUT making it too repetitious and devaluing. This is what Bear was successful in doing, and he did it so freaking well, just the song itself and not talking about the movie. Now of course..throw the movie into it and it's just beauty. Straight up.
Fun fact: interstellar theme was made by Hans Zimmer even before script for Interstellar was finished. Director shaped the movie around the theme. Zimmer was given one random page of draft n rough idea of what Interstellar would be abt and created this awesome arrangements based only on that.
Unless you play piano you have no idea how insanely difficult this is. It also happens to be one of the most beautiful pieces i've ever heard on a piano. So amazing.
I have been playing the piano for more than 10 years and I'm classically trained, this really isn't difficult in any way, shape or form. Any other pianist above amateur level will tell you the same tbh
@@swedishgirl2506 it is not? You can’t possibly think that if you’ve played for 20 years, come on. Pieces that are actually hard: Chopin’s Ballades, Liszt’s Transcendental Études, Rachmaninov’s Piano Concertos, Schubert’s sonatas. Pieces that “look cool” but are easy and even a first year pianist could handle: this. My 8 years old student is practicing it as we speak
@@Camig1708 I agree there’s a ton of repetition, the parts where the notes are played quickly the notes are very close together and not a stretch, and the only change in those quick parts is the note the pinky is playing. I’m currently learning chopins revolutionary etude and to me it’s hard but I’ve heard from better pianists than me that it’s an easier etude.
This is by no means "insanely difficult". Not to take away from her performance, but no pianist (except beginners) would ever describe what she played as difficult
20 million views…and yet only 2 people stopped to watch this live. Kudos to them, sometimes take a minute and enjoy something spectacular happening right in front of you. They can say out of 20 million views they are the only 2 spectators to have witnessed this as it was happening. Amazing young lady!
Well we dont know if there were only 2 people that stopped to watch. We cant see the whole surrounding. For all we know there could be people beside or behind the person filming this, watching.
But the sad thing is that the 2 people we could see watching her play were the people she was also with from the beginning when the guy asked if they knew how to play the piano. They were with her
It looks like an airport..And if you see those passbyers, some are running and walk fast. I'd rather be on time of my flight, than stay for a minute but might caused me tobe late.. We never knew, they might just tired on flight and can't wait to go back home or catching up on their flights.. The most important thing is the girl is good on piano, not the passbyer lol
Interstellar is a masterpiece. And Zimmer is the best composer alive. He already won a place in history like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt and a few others.
@@Archonsx I did. Amazing movie hyped up for Part 2. Villeneuve 👌. Regarding the soundtrack I like it but it was overpowering, specially the loud women screaming on many scenes. Sometimes the silence felt welcoming. The soundtrack in Interstellar and Blade Runner 2049 was better imo.
@@schiller2222 No, when it comes to art, there is no one great masterpiece that has been created entirely without taking use of preexisting works and ideas. And that's okay, that's how we judge and create great art, by understanding what came before and using that to create something new. Mozart did not create the symphony or the sonata, neither did Beethoven, but they used what was already established to make something unique.
We are watching a concert pianist level performance - with such focus and grace - and all for free. The mastery of her instrument is staggering to see. And she simply sat down and played the entire thing flawlessly.
Her fingers and wrists look so relaxed. I never did learn to relax them. She sat down and when she just touched the keys I could see was pianist. Beautiful
@@nadiaarsenijevic8594 devi assolutamente cercare di rilassarti,lo so che non è facile,puoi provare a fare dei respiri profondi per calmare l'ansia e prova a pensare a questo:Lo strumento è un tuo Amico,un tuo Alleato,prova a dirgli sottovoce: "Adesso,io e te,faremo qualcosa di bello,creeremo qualcosa di MERAVIGLIOSO".E qualsiasi sia il tuo credo religioso,chiedi in Alto,chiedi a tutto il Bene ed il Bello che c'è nell' Universo,di aiutarti a rendere al meglio in quello che stai facendo,perché non stai solamente "suonando",stai facendo in realtà,molto di più.
She's so passionate about playing the piano and I can see it in the way she only thinks about the piece that she's playing and nothing else.It's amazing
The Interstellar theme is just a few notes played over and over again but somehow you never get tired of it, it's like the universe giving your brain a massage. 😅
I agree! Hans Zimmer has the power to create musical masterpieces out of only a few notes. See also The Dark Knight Theme. Only two simple notes but such a powerful, meaningful Soundtrack!
It's not just a few notes or if you want to look at it, all music is just 12 notes. She hits different octaves, she goes down scales, the lower notes are the least chaotic part. So if you just hit the low notes, it's a few notes played over and over.
I cry every time I watch this. There’s something just so beautiful and raw about it. She’s just one person and the setting she’s in makes her role seem insignificant, but yet 14 million of us have been touched. I don’t know, that’s just beautiful to me.
I also cried when I watched this, it’s unbelievably beautiful not only the masterpiece of Hans Zimmer but the whole context of this video: she’s playing it and everyone passing through, not witnessing pure art being done. So near it and so far at the same time. Like our role in this vast universe
I literally have no words- It’s my dream to play that piece and she made it look so easy. And the fact she can do all that under pressure AND without the sheet music is crazy to me. Pure talent.
Some people really are so flipping talented that have an ear for music. That can listen and immediately know all the notes by heart. I’ve only known like one person who could do that with the guitar. Amaze balls!
Wow. That was one of the most impressive displays I have ever seen. She wasn't expecting to play, wasn't prepared, just an impromptu request to try to play something and she delivers an epic masterpiece without any mistakes at ALL. What an artist!
"I was waiting to play the piano" - Ella Straz herself in this comment section. It's okay to enjoy things for what they are, no need to invent Hollywood-friendly plot lines.
She could... But every musician should have at least one, usually a handful of pieces that is their favourite, memorized. It's not a problem when you love those songs. I think my piano teacher used to say, memorize at least 2. One short and one that is easy to impress, and one that is your personal favourite. I but I'm the type who would naturally memorize almost all the pieces I like by motor memory...
As someone who use to play piano but gave up because I just didn't have the patience to learn. Seeing this was just like seeing my teacher played. And I just mean how fluid and calm every note she plays and how hard she presses down on each note. Just blows my mind and makes me wish I kept learning. Piano is truly one of the best instruments out there
Most people including myself cannot understand how on earth the people were passing by without noticing what she was doing, but if you think better, she has been seen by more than 5 million people in the world and +100K of likes! If we translate this, she has got more applauses than any concert in any stadium in the world. She did an amazing job and thanks to Andrei Piano to share this!!!
they probabky were trying to get on their trains tbh, i mean most of the time at a trainstation you have to get somewhere you’re not just passing by, so it makes sense that most of them didn’t stop! but i’m sure she would have done it in a mall or something like that, most of these same people would have stopped
I'd say the large majority of people who passed by noticed her playing and probably appreciated the music. A lot of them watched as they walked, but not a lot of people have the time to watch her perform when they're catching a train.
No number of words can explain how immensely beautiful this is! Those two guys who stood mesmerised listening would definitely be me, I'd really wait and listen to the whole thing however busy I might be...
Love Hans Zimmer. His scores are immaculate. She's incredible. I played piano for 40 years. I never knew why I didn't teach myself this song. She just inspired me to pick up practicing again. Thanks girl.
It always amazes me how music can pour out of people like that and express such emotion without a word . Humans are capable of so much beauty and we need to remember that
@@kevinspencer1140 I know what its from but why does that matter? She still has to play it and put herself into it. The statement you made makes no sense at all
I don’t think complex is the right word here, the piece is actually very minimalistic. Still beautiful though. And the memorizing part really isn’t that difficult
I don’t think some people realize how incredibly skilled you have to be to play this instrument. Try playing two different melodies at once- it’s an art in itself 😳
Played to an attentive audience of just four lucky people on the day, appreciated by 14 million people worldwide because thankfully someone was videoing it
It takes just a moment to pause and experience it, and the result of which shows us there's this intrinsic beauty in the world that's worth appreciating.
I’m a pretty good piano player, but I really love the way she touches the keys, and her feel for the piece. It’s not just notes and technique - it’s feeling too! And she has it in bucketfuls!!
Yes I was thinking exactly what you wrote when I read your comment lol. The piece itself is simple; the emotional undertaking is what makes the song come alive.
There can be no more perfect piece to capture what's happening in this scene: as the hustle and bustle of the day to day lives happen in the background, this woman sits, absolutely focused, note after note pouring from her fingertips. The beauty and the sadness expressed within the music as few stop to appreciate this person, far too busy within each of their own, personal worlds for much more than a glance in her direction. Beautiful juxtaposition.
I recently started learning piano (self taught) and the way she plays this is amazing. The way she just focused on the keys and that’s it nothing distracted her. Not a single mistake and no sheet music. She has it memorized. The fact that nobody stopped to watch was insane. I have seen this video before and I think about it a lot.
She tuned her environment out. That is a skill that comes from having a large family or very noisy environment. Also, artists have the creative zone, where they enter a special creative place when zoning out by focusing on the task at hand where there is a special feel and inspiration just flows to you. It has been well documented that some of the best creative works come from that light meditative trance like state.
Yep, this is the best cover ever found on the internet, hands down 👏 I've been searching for months already, here and there, for another great version, but haven't found a single one. This girl nailed it.
Anyone notice the sheer joy on her friend’s face? When your friend gets to show off their talent, and receive the applause, and that makes you simultaneously proud of them, aware of what a privilege it is to know them, and happy that they get to use their talent…that’s a special friendship. That’s a treasure.
I want to say that this is the most moving piece of music I have ever heard.....it takes me to a place only I can see...lose yourself and and witness the world beyond
I know this track inside out….but I tell you this girls version is something else…the rifts and the improvised notes in between the core theme are just mesmerising and sublime….Hans Zimmer should see this,…he should sign this girl up,….she took that original theme to another level….absolutely fantastic musician…❤️❤️
absolutely, I’m confident if Hans met this young lady he would love to work with her natural musical instincts. Hans is a master class with musical observation
In my mind it is the single most important composition written in a 100 years or more…just fantastic and what a pleasure to watch it…and that is the best i have ever heard that piano ever…even if slightly out of tune this was amazing! Who is she?
@@thetoolmat8632 could you elaborate on why it’s the most important composition of the last 100 years? Just genuinely curious to hear your opinion on it
This is why we have the internet and RUclips . For hope that moments like this can be filmed and put online . Not people getting tossed off planes or acting crazy
My brain is having a hard time comprehending how you're able to play like that. That was absolutely amazing and beautiful. You are so incredibly talented. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
What’s incredibly impressive is she was able to bring out the melody with individual fingers while different fingers on the same hand were playing the accompaniment. Pure musicality and attention to detail!
Thank you to the pianist for being courageous enough to sit down and play this for the others to appreciate.. she is very talented! Absolutely beautiful performance.

The way she just sits down, warms up, then loses herself in the music is magical to watch.
Best feeling. Hands down.
Correct 👍
EXACTLY my thoughts, and she took us all with her.
Fr
even through the announcement. didnt even phase her. indeed magical!
What's even more impressive is how she memorized such a masterpiece and didn't mess up a single note
Ah shit, here we go again
Muscle memory; by the time she learned to play it, it was already memorized.
It is easy once you know the keys you need to press
Memorizing a piece isn't even that hard
She did miss a few but it’s hardly noticeable
Its hilarious how he’s like “do you know how to play?” Then she just drops one of the most amazing hanz zimmer tracks of all time
His face when she pulled off that first quick lick kills me. You can practically see him gulp
So amazing, nonetheless.
And happens to have the time to actually play that
It's staged
OmG 💖🎶🇵🇹
Every time I watch this video, and I've watched it plenty of times, I get emotional. It's the rawness of it, the way she sits and takes over the piano and gives us this beautiful melody, and how it grows and how her expressing herself through music grows too. It's so beautiful.
I 100% agree, I’ve watched hundreds of hours of yt and this is still my favourite video out there. Literal goosebumps every time. My dream is to play like her one day
May be she is not the most talented pianist in the world. But the feelings she bring to this piece is awesome. I literally trapped in this video. Müthiş.

made me think about how time passes. So beautiful and so sad , a subtle bliss

The way her fingers dance over the keys is simply mesmerizing.
She was rolling her hand which is a technique. Women who have smaller hands do this a little more often.
@@MICKEYISLOWD oh wow! Learned something new today. Thanx for the info
She was just flowing up and down the keys. It was beautiful.
@@naryatiwari3094 I didnt know that either! I could see she was doing something but wasnt sure what. I used to play, in my teens, and really appreciated her talent 🙏❤
as if her hands to were two dancing spiders, elegantly weaving a web of symphony 🕷🕸
I honestly don't get how you don't stop and take this in. I feel extremely sorry for all the people in too much of a hurry to enjoy such a beautiful moment in time.
@juqual78 it looked like it may have been an airport or something relating to transport because there was a lot of people with luggage, it is beautiful but at the same time I wouldn't want to waste my $300 plane ticket by missing the flight (if it is an airport). If they had enough time to stop and take it in then I truly agree
Same reason you don’t stop to enjoy a rock concert or a dub festival.. music is subjective my friend
Shut up
Maybe they all had to poop really bad so they were all rushing to the bathroom. No but seriously, what Djaytekz said. Beauty is in the 'ear' of the beholder.
I've watched this video segment dozens of times over the years. Still gets to me every time
There may not be people standing to watch, but there are 25 million people who have watched her play. Now imagine a huuge arena filled with 25 million people and she is playing Interstellar with the same emotion, the same integrity, the same tempo, and you feel for a moment that you are transported somewhere surreal.
Exactly and I wish she performed somewhere and I watched her live playing this tune. ❤️❤️❤️

Right. Best comment of the month.
I can swear to you even hans zimmer himself would be ebtranced by her performance. He would have to be. How could he not.

The way her fingers move across the piano is mesmerizing. I’m absolutely amazed
I watch this video like ever fcn day
@@ecevardar7283 same here ..
Totally AGREE! Amazing! 👏👏
“Gracious and magical” is the word come to mymind when I see her hands
Absolutely!! It's truly incredible.
I showed my father this, whom is the organist who played this on the original score. Said this girl’s got talent. Brava!
I loved his work on this score!
I had to Google this and your father must be Roger Sayer. Great accolades from him for this girl 👏🏽👏🏽
What a privilege to be part of that masterpiece!
Wow yeah there was an interview with Hans and he said the score was unplayable but your father somehow nailed it. Wow!
Hey my friend, can you tell me the name's song, is very beautiful
i love watching her fingers dance on the keys, its like watching a moving art piece.
absolutely beautiful.
The way her hands move so gracefully across the piano, you can’t even see her pressing the notes, it’s beautiful
I was mesmerized as well. I thought of turning off the sound just to concentrate on the dance of the fingers. It was amazing. Like at the five minute mark.
@@Ben_D. I got goosebumps watching the hands…
Yup that's how you hit those smooth Like Zimmer notes
And with those nails! Honestly, she looks to have gone deep into the zone, such skill.
The ascending thing she does with her right hand starting at 4:36 is f***ing amazing.
As a fellow pianist, at first I was like, “Alright alright, she’s pretty good” and then she just kept going and my freaking jaw dropped.” Insane!!!
Only a fellow pianist could understand how insanely good she is because she makes it look so easy. The first part of the song is not hard and virtually anyone who knows how to play piano could do it. So when I read a title that says “Most insane cover,” I’m expecting to be blown away. About halfway through the song, she DID blow me away and she just kept going. By the end, my jaw was almost on the floor.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania I agree! Even this song in its most simplest form is beautiful! I was referring to the title, “Most Insane Cover.” It wasn’t “insane” at first: it was just good. But by the end it was truly insane. To date it is the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania doesnt matter, its the sound track from the movie. then again she still has a long way with the consistency pressing down the weighted keys. She is either a semi novis, or used to play on a keyboard that hasnt got weighted keys at all
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania jazz can be both easy and hard aswell. same with classical music. But in many cases classical music is harder than jazz which also can make you look pretty good with an untrained ear/eye. A bunch of scales and licks. Good improvisation if that is what you are thinking of is very rare of course.
I don’t even play and my jaw still dropped. Absolutely beautiful!
I truly do not understand how many people can just walk by this utter masterpiece.

There is something about this piece of music that reaches into the soul. She does a wonderful performance.
She was just walking by, stops and plays the most epic piece of music by Hanz Zimmer like it was nothing. This talent is on another level. 100/100!
She was asked to be there but she was still so good
I'll say as well, she had obviously practiced the shit out of this song. She didn't just walk up to a piano and thought oh let me just whack out interstellar quickly. This might've taken her months and months of practice. Still absolute talent, but I think you weirded it wordly to act as if she hadn't prepared for this moment. I'm a pianist and if I stop and play a piano, people only see me playing the piece there and then, but they dont see the years of practice I've put behind it, but that doesn't make it easy for me, it means I've trained my ass off to be there.
Men do this everyday and nobody cares 🤦♂️
@@Rob-nv7ew I'm a classically trained pianist too.
The piece is in A minor, which is related to C Major. I'm sure you know that A minor is the easiest minor key to play on the piano because you hardly have to play the black keys. And yes I agree with you that she's practiced the piece for quite some time before performing this. Those nails though, ugh!
The video is obviously staged lol
As someone who plays piano, when you see a pianist swaying back and forth and looking down, they’re putting their whole heart and soul into each key, what a beautiful video.
lmao
You're so right, and likewise piano player here (Juilliard-trained). She totally drew me into her world of interpretation and excellence. She has that new age aura, and it's fantastic. Sounds a bit like George Winston. He makes two hands sound like four.
true but it's light. When you see a guy move his head in every direction and look like he's high that's when you know that he's a performer.

When the piano becomes your friend, you're not playing notes. You're truly dancing over the keys and are playing the piano. The notes flow from your mind through your hands and the keys to the ears, where they create a wonderfull sensation. Here demonstrated by a truly gifted friend of the piano. Respect Ella.
I like that. Epic comment.
I was about to comment something very similar then thought I'd stick as a reply on here. Once she found her groove and got comfortable, the composition played itself, she was just the vessel in which it seeped out of, true musicianship at hand
Why is this making me want to cry right now? My dad taught me to play piano, but I'm very much an amateur. I was classically trained as a cellist - and I loved the cello - but my heart is with the piano. I got a used piano in my house last week, and even though I'm nowhere near classically trained, I love it. I love it so much. It calms me, it doesn't judge me, I can mess up and start again. To make music is a gift, even at the most elementary level.
Sharted reading that thank you
god damn this comment gave me chills loool
Him “you know how to play?”
Her “yeah a bit”
Rips the roof off the place!! ❤❤❤
imagine how many hours shes spent behind a piano practicing this song and getting frustrated and reading sheet music. Her playing this tells an entire story. She's a true lover of her instrument.
Well said
Exactly what ive thought
Contrary to popular belief, its really not that hard of a song to learn. Easy key, and in the fast part at the end, her hands don't have to move across the keyboard. Its really an intermediate song

4:50 just imagine how many days, weeks, months were spent learning the basic scales to pull of a section like that so flawlessly. Goosebumps.
One of the most emotionally invoking themes ever written by Hansel Zimmer
Watch her fingers at 5:05. Absolutely insane.
Watch 5:31
This was not flawless😂 this is shit. I have been playing piano for 14 years, learned classical music, I went to music school for 12 years and I participated on several piano competitions through the years. So I can assure you that this performance is worthless. And for us pianists who really can play the piano, this is unbearable to hear and to watch.

I’ve played piano and her rhythm and consistency throughout the piece is insane.

We miss so much when we are too busy to enjoy the little things.
Don't worry, the hard working, the scientists, and the creators of beautiful things will get to leave this earth while the useless consumers who take everything for granted will be left behind

If this is an airport I likely would have missed my flight
Me too. Sucks to be the people walking past not even knowing what they're hearing or that it is a fantastical sound.
The music is what drew me to this movie. The plot and the message and the idea of survival instinct and a need for exploration and the never ending ability of survival humanity has is a perfect combination with this score, beautiful.
The music made Interstellar much more worth to watch till the end.
Not something I’d normally click on, and a minute or two later I’m watching, unblinking, with tears streaming down my face. Thank you, Ella. And thank you, Andrei.
The announcement at the start is actually pretty fitting like she's going to take us on a journey and the announcement prepares us for that
Best comment
That was the comment I was looking for! It matched very well.
Was thinking the same lol
I think the whole commotion at the station blends with the theme of this piece pretty well. Time is ticking and people are hasting.
Yeah feels like a rap instrumental
There’s someone out there making sure these public pianos are good enough to let musicians show us the beauty of live acoustic music. That is a public service.
How did people not surround her! I would have def stopped to listen smh
Yeh until I rock up and aggressively play chopsticks loud AF
It's only a public service and desirable when convenient. You'd be surprised how many children are pressured into taking "safe" subjects in school over art and music, and people don't realise the need for practice at louder volumes. Many are content to consume music, but don't give musicians any real credit or space to perfect their craft, nor do they get paid much (if at all).
1000th like!
And Drama...(as a previous Drama teacher). The ' careers' interviewer did encourage students to the academic and this was from the students telling me. We NEED the arts, all of them.

Moved me to tears, she plays so beautifully with such expression.
That literally looks so complex, the ways she's moving her fingers so flawlessly. Interstellar is one of the best music scores ever made imo and she just played this so beautifully. I have no words. I wonder how long it took to learn that. I love Hans Zimmer and his work so this was a real treat.
Edit: If you don't know already, Hans Zimmer composed the soundtrack for The Prince of Egypt and partnered with John Powell (guy who wrote the incredible soundtrack for How To Train Your Dragon) on Kung Fu Panda's soudntrack.

@@roberttitan4497 you know that there's a rumour that he doesn't compose his own music anymore? and it's the people working for him that do lol... it's so strange but interesting
As someone who plays piano and has had long natural nails, it is NOT easy playing piano with nails like those! Also, I love how, over the course of a few minutes, most of the strangers walking by notice her music. It’s beautiful to watch.
I noticed this too. I could be wrong, but I think she only has long nails on her left hand and is using the right hand for more complex things?
It is almost impossible to play perfectly with nails this long in terms of phrasing or dynamics in generell. In most piano pieces the pinky finger has to be the strongest cause the notes played by it have to be louder than the other ones. You can only develop full strength in your fingers if the fingers are upright and your fingertips touch the keys. The fingers shouldnt kink which is not the case as you can see on her left hand while she is playing. It was an amazing performance anyways!
Exactly! I used to have long nails for a time but had to give up after noticing that I play a lot worse with them.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever created and it's rather crazy that it was created not in the time of Beethoven and Mozart but when I was alive. It's timeless, ironically enough considering the film to which it belongs. Interstellar wouldn't have been the same without this song and this song wouldn't have been the same without Interstellar. Once in a lifetime kind of combination. The epitome of gestalt.
And of course she nailed this performance, incredibly impressive to be able to do so without any prior planning or preparation.
Not to be a dick here but:
"Interstellar wouldn't have been the same without this song and this song wouldn't have been the same without Interstellar. Once in a lifetime kind of combination. The epitome of gestalt."
The reason that people combine this piece with the images is one of the reason why so many here hail it is a masterpiece.
Don't get me wrong, it is wonderful and it works magic in the film and as part of it. But without it, people really wouldn't be so fussed about it. Heck, I even imagine people sighing because it's just another piano thing someones plays. It is not that much of a complicated piece. Which is also not an indicator for anything, of course. Just if we really take this category 'one of the most beautiful songs ever created' seriously then there are tons of other pieces that would come to my mind - stuff that never had a film accompany it too.
@@dohlecarnett1866 you looking deep into this
I agree. I haven't watched Interstellar yet and don't see why RUclips freaks out about the various covers. It is probably the connection with the movie that makes it outstanding.
If I may, excluding the movie from this entirely, there is a huge-HUGE difference between a novice constructing a song where certain notes, chords and melodies may be selected simply becsuse the composer likes the sound of it... VS a highly distinguished composer making specific and deliberate intent to actually emphasize that tune, melody, chord progression or what have you..and turn it into a series chapters, with the entire scope of the song being a story.
What did I just mean by the way in tldr? The melody does not need to be complex ..his deliberate intent on making that simple tone the centerpiece of the entire song and building upon it to make it a grandiose piece of work is actually fkn marvelous. It is very, very difficult to make a simple melody and weave it in and out of the entire song withOUT making it too repetitious and devaluing. This is what Bear was successful in doing, and he did it so freaking well, just the song itself and not talking about the movie. Now of course..throw the movie into it and it's just beauty. Straight up.
Fun fact: interstellar theme was made by Hans Zimmer even before script for Interstellar was finished. Director shaped the movie around the theme. Zimmer was given one random page of draft n rough idea of what Interstellar would be abt and created this awesome arrangements based only on that.
Unless you play piano you have no idea how insanely difficult this is. It also happens to be one of the most beautiful pieces i've ever heard on a piano. So amazing.
I have been playing the piano for more than 10 years and I'm classically trained, this really isn't difficult in any way, shape or form. Any other pianist above amateur level will tell you the same tbh
this is pretty hard, tbh, i've played for over 20 years
@@swedishgirl2506 it is not? You can’t possibly think that if you’ve played for 20 years, come on.
Pieces that are actually hard: Chopin’s Ballades, Liszt’s Transcendental Études, Rachmaninov’s Piano Concertos, Schubert’s sonatas.
Pieces that “look cool” but are easy and even a first year pianist could handle: this. My 8 years old student is practicing it as we speak
@@Camig1708 I agree there’s a ton of repetition, the parts where the notes are played quickly the notes are very close together and not a stretch, and the only change in those quick parts is the note the pinky is playing.

This is by no means "insanely difficult". Not to take away from her performance, but no pianist (except beginners) would ever describe what she played as difficult

@@Archonsx I did. Amazing movie hyped up for Part 2. Villeneuve 👌.
Regarding the soundtrack I like it but it was overpowering, specially the loud women screaming on many scenes. Sometimes the silence felt welcoming.
The soundtrack in Interstellar and Blade Runner 2049 was better imo.

Comparisons with Bach, Mozart or Beethoven are completely exaggerated.
@@schiller2222 No, when it comes to art, there is no one great masterpiece that has been created entirely without taking use of preexisting works and ideas. And that's okay, that's how we judge and create great art, by understanding what came before and using that to create something new. Mozart did not create the symphony or the sonata, neither did Beethoven, but they used what was already established to make something unique.
We are watching a concert pianist level performance - with such focus and grace - and all for free.
The mastery of her instrument is staggering to see.
And she simply sat down and played the entire thing flawlessly.
Her fingers and wrists look so relaxed. I never did learn to relax them. She sat down and when she just touched the keys I could see was pianist. Beautiful
As I watched her hands, I wondered if that's how mine looked when I played. I wish I could still play.
Right! She just seems so peaceful in her movements and attitude! When I play I'm so tense you'd think my finger are attached to a dumbbell 😅
Same either guitar, I grip so dampened hard it's insane! Bass? Not an issue but grabbing a chord is like Insane Handshake Grip
@@nadiaarsenijevic8594 devi assolutamente cercare di rilassarti,lo so che non è facile,puoi provare a fare dei respiri profondi per calmare l'ansia e prova a pensare a questo:Lo strumento è un tuo Amico,un tuo Alleato,prova a dirgli sottovoce: "Adesso,io e te,faremo qualcosa di bello,creeremo qualcosa di MERAVIGLIOSO".E qualsiasi sia il tuo credo religioso,chiedi in Alto,chiedi a tutto il Bene ed il Bello che c'è nell' Universo,di aiutarti a rendere al meglio in quello che stai facendo,perché non stai solamente "suonando",stai facendo in realtà,molto di più.
Blessed with long fingers too! I'm jealous my tiny little hands struggle to reach the repeating "e" note in this piece 😂
She's so passionate about playing the piano and I can see it in the way she only thinks about the piece that she's playing and nothing else.It's amazing
دقیقا
She’s not the best player, but the most passionate one I’m crying😭
Right? What are the odds that they would be filming random person walk by and play masterpiece??? Almost like it’s setup
@@kobweb2994 Even if it's a setup she's so focused on playing the piano and that's what really matters, right?
@@kristinzcy9884 Yeahhh
This was her moment. She is the main character. Mad skills. Respect

Я восхищена талантом этой девушки! Это нереально сложное произведение! Браво!
The Interstellar theme is just a few notes played over and over again but somehow you never get tired of it, it's like the universe giving your brain a massage. 😅
I agree! Hans Zimmer has the power to create musical masterpieces out of only a few notes. See also The Dark Knight Theme. Only two simple notes but such a powerful, meaningful Soundtrack!
@@victoriawinkler2383 Time from inception!! Is amazing too!!!
Inception...TIME!!
Yes!! Armageddon too, all soundtracks are amazing
It's not just a few notes or if you want to look at it, all music is just 12 notes.
She hits different octaves, she goes down scales, the lower notes are the least chaotic part. So if you just hit the low notes, it's a few notes played over and over.
I cry every time I watch this. There’s something just so beautiful and raw about it. She’s just one person and the setting she’s in makes her role seem insignificant, but yet 14 million of us have been touched. I don’t know, that’s just beautiful to me.
I also cried when I watched this, it’s unbelievably beautiful not only the masterpiece of Hans Zimmer but the whole context of this video: she’s playing it and everyone passing through, not witnessing pure art being done. So near it and so far at the same time. Like our role in this vast universe
😔💯
Me too. I wish she would have recorded this in a studio. I would buy in a heartbeat. 💕
Mee too 🥺
That's a lovely realisation.
I literally have no words- It’s my dream to play that piece and she made it look so easy. And the fact she can do all that under pressure AND without the sheet music is crazy to me. Pure talent.
What’s it called
One of the most emotionally invoking themes ever written by Hansel Zimmer
@@myn_24 It’s the Interstellar Theme
Some people really are so flipping talented that have an ear for music. That can listen and immediately know all the notes by heart. I’ve only known like one person who could do that with the guitar. Amaze balls!
Its crazy. And amazing. Well done Ella. And you keep going hubfuu Playz. Anyone who stuck with piano after turning thirteen is a hero in my eyes.
Omg, the way the hands just glide across the keys! Absolutely hypnotic ❤
Wow. That was one of the most impressive displays I have ever seen. She wasn't expecting to play, wasn't prepared, just an impromptu request to try to play something and she delivers an epic masterpiece without any mistakes at ALL. What an artist!
"I was waiting to play the piano" - Ella Straz herself in this comment section. It's okay to enjoy things for what they are, no need to invent Hollywood-friendly plot lines.
dont be that naive....she could be a plant or she could work at a movie studio as a professional pianist...
She could...
But every musician should have at least one, usually a handful of pieces that is their favourite, memorized. It's not a problem when you love those songs.
I think my piano teacher used to say, memorize at least 2. One short and one that is easy to impress, and one that is your personal favourite.
I but I'm the type who would naturally memorize almost all the pieces I like by motor memory...
@@timothyfoote6658 and someone else could have pooped your pants....or it could have just been you
lol zero chance bro - that was a setup 100%.
I cannot believe how smoothly her fingers caress over the keys. Just wow.
As someone who use to play piano but gave up because I just didn't have the patience to learn. Seeing this was just like seeing my teacher played. And I just mean how fluid and calm every note she plays and how hard she presses down on each note. Just blows my mind and makes me wish I kept learning. Piano is truly one of the best instruments out there
Especially with how long her nails are! That takes incredible skill to play with long nails. Kills your wrists but she’s that good
I'd let her caress her fingers over my key
@@mattm7426 Ha! I knew I would find you again my friend!
@@mattm7426 💀
Most people including myself cannot understand how on earth the people were passing by without noticing what she was doing, but if you think better, she has been seen by more than 5 million people in the world and +100K of likes! If we translate this, she has got more applauses than any concert in any stadium in the world. She did an amazing job and thanks to Andrei Piano to share this!!!
they probabky were trying to get on their trains tbh, i mean most of the time at a trainstation you have to get somewhere you’re not just passing by, so it makes sense that most of them didn’t stop! but i’m sure she would have done it in a mall or something like that, most of these same people would have stopped
It’s not their fault they are in the wrong dimension.
I'd say the large majority of people who passed by noticed her playing and probably appreciated the music. A lot of them watched as they walked, but not a lot of people have the time to watch her perform when they're catching a train.
No number of words can explain how immensely beautiful this is! Those two guys who stood mesmerised listening would definitely be me, I'd really wait and listen to the whole thing however busy I might be...
i'm the second one, however busy... that's life, in the most beautifull simple way
The way she progressed slowly and raised her level to the peak at last was astounding.
È vero!
well that's the way the piece was written....
Love Hans Zimmer. His scores are immaculate. She's incredible. I played piano for 40 years. I never knew why I didn't teach myself this song. She just inspired me to pick up practicing again. Thanks girl.
Ditto
But I'm sure you know the flight of the bumblebees.
What's the name of this song?
@@kathleenmills1956 Stay, from hans zimmer
Come & teach me
It always amazes me how music can pour out of people like that and express such emotion without a word . Humans are capable of so much beauty and we need to remember that
Sound has power
Human”kind”🙏🏼❤️🌈
not her piece of work it is interstellar
@@kevinspencer1140 I know what its from but why does that matter? She still has to play it and put herself into it. The statement you made makes no sense at all
@@markthelie666 What emotion pours from her???? It's not a original piece of work it is a copy
Wow just wow and you can see the smiles on her friends they are just as impressed as we are.
Such an intricate and complex piece. The fact that she committed it to memory really shows how much she loves it. Beautiful.
Self taught only been playing for three years, and is an amazing artist (as in drawing).
I don’t think complex is the right word here, the piece is actually very minimalistic. Still beautiful though. And the memorizing part really isn’t that difficult
@@Pingoping No, complex is the right word; not coplex.
@@casper14301 haha no both are wrong
I don’t think some people realize how incredibly skilled you have to be to play this instrument. Try playing two different melodies at once- it’s an art in itself 😳
Yeah and at some points she was playing 3 parts simultaneously! Absolutely fire
Very true
Then my dumbass was in a school band for 2 years and still couldn't read music if I tried.
Have you ever tried switching the strings on a floyd rose bridge system and down tuning the guitar at the same time?
These are mostly arpeggios, there isn't 2 melodies at once.
Played to an attentive audience of just four lucky people on the day, appreciated by 14 million people worldwide because thankfully someone was videoing it
++the goat, AKA cameraman
One of the most emotionally invoking themes ever written by Hansel Zimmer
You can tell she entered into a flow state. I wonder how many times and how long she practiced that to play like that
It takes just a moment to pause and experience it, and the result of which shows us there's this intrinsic beauty in the world that's worth appreciating.
I’m a pretty good piano player, but I really love the way she touches the keys, and her feel for the piece. It’s not just notes and technique - it’s feeling too! And she has it in bucketfuls!!
Her playing reminds me of Kimbra’s singing; depth of emotion, and literally touching the music.
You could see how she got in 'the zone' more and more as she played. Beautifully done!
Yes I was thinking exactly what you wrote when I read your comment lol.
The piece itself is simple; the emotional undertaking is what makes the song come alive.
There can be no more perfect piece to capture what's happening in this scene: as the hustle and bustle of the day to day lives happen in the background, this woman sits, absolutely focused, note after note pouring from her fingertips. The beauty and the sadness expressed within the music as few stop to appreciate this person, far too busy within each of their own, personal worlds for much more than a glance in her direction. Beautiful juxtaposition.
Write a book please
@@davidwagner7179 High praise. I appreciate it, but I'm better for little blurbs like this. I'm no writer.
Moist grundle
@@mateomillan4781 Mateo Millan
@@MoistGrundle You're wrong. You're absolutely a writer.
I recently started learning piano (self taught) and the way she plays this is amazing. The way she just focused on the keys and that’s it nothing distracted her. Not a single mistake and no sheet music. She has it memorized. The fact that nobody stopped to watch was insane. I have seen this video before and I think about it a lot.
she did some mistakes but very small, anyway it still sounds very beautiful
She tuned her environment out. That is a skill that comes from having a large family or very noisy environment. Also, artists have the creative zone, where they enter a special creative place when zoning out by focusing on the task at hand where there is a special feel and inspiration just flows to you. It has been well documented that some of the best creative works come from that light meditative trance like state.
How are you self teaching yourself piano? I've tried a couple of things but nothing has quite worked :/
Maybe they're not a fan of Insterstellar or music at all
Yep, this is the best cover ever found on the internet, hands down 👏
I've been searching for months already, here and there, for another great version, but haven't found a single one. This girl nailed it.
Her fingers shift across the keyboard so gently and effortlessly, like she’s done it a million times before.
Not a keyboard 🤡
@@hxd9321 so what lol
@@hxd9321 even on an acoustic the keys are still called a keyboard 🤡 Learn your piano parts before correcting other people
@@footsock2811 called keys not keyboard
I call it a piano and the notes are keys. Keyboard to me means the electric keyboards
She is incredible, the hours she practise must be insane. Had to watch it again, her fingers were like floating over the keys..
Must be 40 hours a day!
Anyone notice the sheer joy on her friend’s face?
When your friend gets to show off their talent, and receive the applause, and that makes you simultaneously proud of them, aware of what a privilege it is to know them, and happy that they get to use their talent…that’s a special friendship. That’s a treasure.
I want to say that this is the most moving piece of music I have ever heard.....it takes me to a place only I can see...lose yourself and and witness the world beyond
You can feel the clock ticking and time passing at various speeds as she plays... AMAZING! GREAT job!🎹
This was the concept that Han Zimmer was going for in his composition and she captured it spectacularly!
Stellar
I know this track inside out….but I tell you this girls version is something else…the rifts and the improvised notes in between the core theme are just mesmerising and sublime….Hans Zimmer should see this,…he should sign this girl up,….she took that original theme to another level….absolutely fantastic musician…❤️❤️
It's the Patrik piechmann arrangement. It's on RUclips.
absolutely, I’m confident if Hans met this young lady he would love to work with her natural musical instincts. Hans is a master class with musical observation
he saw the video and said that this girl got talent
In my mind it is the single most important composition written in a 100 years or more…just fantastic and what a pleasure to watch it…and that is the best i have ever heard that piano ever…even if slightly out of tune this was amazing! Who is she?
@@thetoolmat8632 could you elaborate on why it’s the most important composition of the last 100 years? Just genuinely curious to hear your opinion on it
This is why we have the internet and RUclips . For hope that moments like this can be filmed and put online . Not people getting tossed off planes or acting crazy
People actually get tossed out of planes on RUclips?
@@CreatorOfAllCaillous *YES*
@@CreatorOfAllCaillous oh most definitely yes...
Ohhh sathyam✨✨✨
The internet is diverse you will see different things
My brain is having a hard time comprehending how you're able to play like that. That was absolutely amazing and beautiful. You are so incredibly talented. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
What’s incredibly impressive is she was able to bring out the melody with individual fingers while different fingers on the same hand were playing the accompaniment. Pure musicality and attention to detail!
It’s not too bad with only 3 parts
She's truly mastered the art of voice leading
@@adamsmateo2149 no
The announcement at the beginning is just perfect... like we are all about to take off into space with this beautiful melody that she is playing.
Really? I pissed me off how long it was.
I was about to comment the same.The announcement was an add on to this masterpiece.
Nah that shit was pissing me off I’m like STFU
I thought the same thing. Like if it were quieter, it would fit in with the intro in an artsy sort of way.
Hans Zimmer wrote it. He also wrote the Sountrack to Dune.
There’s something about this track that hits so many emotions. Hope, despair, happiness and sadness. It’s a master piece!
I completely agreed with you 😊
Interstellar
@@xaqut3 perfect description
Thank you to the pianist for being courageous enough to sit down and play this for the others to appreciate.. she is very talented! Absolutely beautiful performance.
