You know what, I actually love this.
"MOZART ACUTUALLY LOVES THIS....YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHY!"
Who ressurect you?
Du kannst auch Englisch?
Then you should look up the original by Victor Borge whom she clearly plagiarized.
I love your pieces!
Beethoven: wish you a Moonlight birthday.
Chopin: wish you a militaire, heroic birthday.
Brahms: wish you sweet dreams on your birthday.
Bach: wish you a dramatic birthday.
Mozart: happy birthday, come have a beer with me.
IT IS my BIRTHDAY today! ruclips.net/video/_szTxd3YFh4/видео.html
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best comments ever haha
Cannot be better!!!
@@iunguoivn Thank you, I appreciate it!
She played the whole soundtrack of a birthday. From the morning get up, to the afternoon rush, to the evening pass out. Awesome!
Love this comment!
Look at her 😊
Oh my Lord. I've been playing piano for 55 years and I've never heard anything like this. It's INSIPIRING.
You should listen to Wynton Marsalis version ruclips.net/video/bYi5hJR7O7Y/видео.html
Victor Borge came up with this routine
You've never heard Borge?
@@user-zj8vz1nd1g Yep.
Happy birthday?
Mr Chopin, how many notes would like written on your piece?
Chopin: Yes.
"I paid for the whole piano and I am using the whole piano"
that waff funneh
Liszt gave him that paper
🤣
@@headhunter1945 thats liszt
You know you're good when you're able to make joke with your instrument
She ripped this material off of Victor Borge
my life is a joke.
Am i funny?
Maryn Parker u good?
@@choppersquonk I would say she was inspired by him, but she did not copied him
@@MrNeonerl you would be wrong... if you know Borge's work well, and play it note for note, you are copying it. If she played different songs, that would be inspired. She played the same songs, note for note.
0:21 Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata Mvt. 1
1:18 Chopin: Polonaise Op. 40 No. 1
1:26 Chopin: Heroic Polonaise Op. 53
1:50 Brahms: Lullaby
2:20 Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
3:19 Mozart: ?
I'm pretty sure there is a second Beethoven piece at 0:46, if anyone knows what piece it is.
I’m pretty sure the Mozart is the sonata in C major k 545
There is also an excerpt from Chopin Polonaise Op. 53
@@Ethan-fd3gm I thought that at first, but am no longer sure after listening to it again.
@@dionizos0665 I thought to check it, but couldn't figure out which part of the piece its from. could you send a link with a precise timestamp?
@@davidraveh5966 @David Raveh 2:56 ruclips.net/video/8QT7ITv9Ecs/видео.html fast left hand octave. She also play these fast octave in 1:26 but in another key (if I am not wrong).
Silly, funny and frivolous, yet so heart-rending and beautiful. Brilliant performance.
Edit: Just got to the intoxicated Mozart part - WHAT?! This woman is so next level.
Straight out of “Amadeus”!!!
Chopin seriously wants you to have a HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY. He is straight up trying to murder you with celebratory joy.
Meanwhile, Bach is just trying murder you, period, and Beethoven wants you to be suicidally overwhelmed with the pointlessness of another year of existence.
L Mozart is laughing that you're older.
Bach would have been murdering you contrapuntally.
L whilst Brahms wants you to sleep and Mozart is simply showing tricks
L Why do they all want me dead?
Sounds more like Liszt to me though
Hey guys , I really love this , she’s a amazing pianist and if it’s your birthday , I wish you happy birthday
Beethoven the legendary and super composer, wow thanks so much!
Thanks Ludwig.
CAN YOU HEAR IT? I CAN'T!

These are so the famous musicians but she is all in one and nailed them all with plenty of humour to spare.
The speed, dexterity, and precision with which she plays these pieces, especially Chopin, Bach, and Mozart's are incredibly impressive to say the least!👌🏾
Beethoven: "Oh it's your birthday... Now."
Chopin: "You have a birthday and you will know it."
Brahms: "Daww a birthday"
Bach: "Welcome to my birthday"
Mozart: "WE HAVE BIRTHDAYS EVERYDAY TOGETHER"

happy birthday!
Liar
SAME OMG xDDDDDDD
This will never get old. I've watched this once or twice a year for longer than I can remember and, although the recording quality doesn't age well, I always stay until the last second of the video. It never fails to amaze me.
I think she's been doing this her whole life...brilliant....
Beethovan: Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me.... HAPPY DEATHDAY TO ME
Chopin: Happy FUCKING SUGARHIGH BIRTHDAY TO YOU
Brahms: Happy birthday to you... there is something wrong with your cake, IT'S MAKING ME SLEEPY
Bach: Happy Birthday to you... AND I HAVE COME TO COLLECT YOUR SOUL
Mozart: Happy birthday to you... now hurry up I have to play to an other place.
Mozart 2: It might be your happy birthday, BUT I WILL PLAY SO HARD, PEOPLE WILL GIVE ME GIFTS THAT THEY BROUGHT FOR YOU
LOLLL mozart 2 XD
THIS IS GEM
Bach😂😂😂
Mozart
Decades of training displayed in 5 minutes
Ya she kinda popped off
Training plus pure talent
Ling Ling PRACTICE 40 hours a day
How many people tapped the screen to see if it really is 5 minutes?
💛💙💛💙💛💙
🥰🇯🇲🏴🕊️🔥✝️
Exactly!
Only the ones who really understand the music character of each legend pianists could do this. Really amazing.
Everything fantastic but that Bach version just gaves me goosebumps 🔥
SO SO TRUE!!!
and now I am so motivated to listen the entire œuvre of Bach.
lmao that sounded nothing like Bach
Same❤
@@kreusellein he never said it.
Boosegumps fer shur!
Her technique is really impressive. What a display of digitation.
What a display of BULLSHIT.
Crazy fluidity in her finger movements.
Silly demeaning comment.
In her Bach version she employed some Presto Digitation.
0:21 Beethoven
1:18 Chopin
1:50 Brahms
2:20 Bach
3:19 Mozart
4:36 Mozart
This is improvisational speed :) ruclips.net/video/L65ZlSvGbXE/видео.html
theretrical human I love how she didnt even attempt Franz Liszt lol
I can't believe you didn't name the last one Smashed Mozart.
After 61 years, just gotta change it up & make it classy. Live it.
4:36 is like freddie Mercury when he wrote bohemian rapsoady
I'm an ignorant uncultured swine of classical music yet I was able to recognise each distinctive style of each composer. Brilliant rendition.
My older brother likes to listen to classical music and since today is his birthday, I'd think this would be a perfect gift lol
Beethoven: "What's the point of my birthday when she's not mine?"
Chopin: "The thing is that I like birthday but I don't like birthday party. But.. but.. shut up. Let me finish first. But for you to celebrate my birthday is something not right. No, no. I'm not lonely in my birthday. I'm lonely in life."
Brahms: "Mom. Dad. Can I have one more wish? Can you sing a lullaby to me, please?
Bach: "I have no birthday!"
Mozart: "Hey, hey. I love birthdays, cakes, spaghetti, marshmallows, balloons, clowns,.."
I love this comment
Bach: I have no birthday, but i shall fight to get it!
This is my favorite comment ever
Brahms' famous lullaby was made for a baby he knew, but this would be that baby's birthday, not Brahms' own.
sooo cool man!
My music teacher: Whats your favourite piece?
Me: It's complicated
Happy birthday is not that bad tho
@@4vr1l57 which way of playing it to choose from though? 🤔
Too funny! Love it!
,
No doubt about it, she is talented !!!
What a wonderful pianist, so talented, funny and excellent stage presence!
I don't care that she's not the one who came up with this, she's an amazing player.
it's the presentation that makes it great!
Who did???
@@Octavio12341000 they say it's Victor Borge
I heard it about 15 years ago from Joja Wendt.
@@Octavio12341000 Victor Borge ruclips.net/video/hkkHz8xq7lE/видео.html
she's not even trying to show off. People could feel that what she's doing was to show the fun in playing different types of happy birthday.
She ripped off the exact act from Victor Borge. Shameful, for her not to mention Borge...
This helps me understand why adolescents become so unjustifiably enamored by pop stars they've never met, because ...wow :)
Comedic genius on display; delightful.
She is a great pianist :D
Annabella Svajko that identifies different types of pains?
No, I just wish I could play like this :D
She is indeed! I wonder how long she must have had to practice to get her fingers in that sort of shape... It's astounding! :D
As a grade 7 pianist, I can say that it would be a very, very long time. I'm only 2 grades from being a fully certified pianist and to be as good as she is I would need at least 3 years of constant practice after being finished those grades to even be half as good as she is! She is an absolutely stunning player and I would also love to be as good as she is!
Roisin O'Donnell more ...
So basically;
Beethoven: "I solemnly celebrate your birth while you question it with a mild existential crisis.
Chopin: Naw don't listen to him aren't you happy for your glorious birthday which is plated in gold? Because you should. like it or not.
Brahms: I'd like to say hbd but small voices because the neighbour's fluffy cuddly kittens are taking their afternoon naps and it's a serious offense to wake them up.
Bach: You'll have a birthday and it's mandatory to be happy.
Mozart: OMG Happy birthday, meanwhile i ate all of your birthday cake and now i have sugar rush.
Bach: you still have to practice my etudes even if it's your birthday. But you get a tiny cake.
This is very accurate
idk why when i read i solemnly i remembered and started shouting i solemnly swear that i am up to no good
This is the good part of youtube
Thank You. your comment is is perfect birthday fun!!!
this is what talent looks like...
Brilliant. And I love the way she starts each one with a familiar tune, thus making the jokes far more accessible, as people who didn't know the style of each composer could hear a sample of a tune they'd probably heard before.
imagine writing such influential music that you are still memed on hundreds of years later
new life goal: unblocked
Ryuby you write now such an influential music 🎶 and I promise you, I will check 100 years later if you have an influence in big way, you're agreed?
Her Mozart versions were spot on, I love the upside down Mozart. And how she managed to inject Happy Birthday into Chopin's Military Polonaise... This is why I majored in Music Theory. Brava!!
Há ha hà.
+1
I’m jealous! It was t until much too late in life that I even became aware that music theory existed, but it’s fascinating!
@@Seven_1865 It really is! I learned that Music Theory was a thing when I was in junior high school and I decided immediately that I wanted to study that in college. I did major in Theory, but There aren't a lot of jobs for Music Theory majors out there.
In hindsight, I should've majored in computers instead of something that satisfied my intellectual curiosity instead of making me employable.
it really is elegant even playing happy birthday in different tones but without losing the essence of the true music of the creators ✨♥
I cannot find words to describe how deeply I’m moved and impressed. This is wonderful performance.
Mostly for me, but...
Beethoven: 0:19
Chopin: 1:18
Brahms: 1:49
Bach: 2:19
Mozart: 3:19 and 4:37
You missed Beethoven on 2:51
Pascal Filipiak ; Isn’t that part of the toccata and fugue happy birthday though?
@@ashvalentine517 at 2:19 it is Bach with Toccata and Fuge. But then it turns to 5th symph.
Pascal Filipiak Oh, I hadn’t realized! Interesting
Pascal Filipiak No, technically it still is Bach because that part is in Toccata and Fugue. It might sound similar, but I assure you, it’s still Bach.
Leet's be honest: Bach would've written a fugue.
Ryan Frederick yep
Well, birthdays are supposed to repeat after all.
Yes sir
Check Nahre Sol's birthday renditions. Her bach is amazing
Yup
SHe is absolutely brilliant !!! That Bach was totally out of control !!!! Loved it !
Since today is my birthday, I’ll consider this a very special birthday wish. Thank you for forwarding on such special talent !
Hello Susan
How are you doing today?
What i love about this little show is that, for those who are not very familiar with classical music, like myself, she is able to teach us how to distinguish the different characteristics of each composer. Brilliant.
Yes!!!!
and how different finger style made different sound and atmosphere
she could have done it nocturne style since it shows more of chopin. but the etudes are ok too
@@mrgrinch8540 show us! (:
@@MANiRo5OobittO show you what?
Beethoven: “Is the cake real? Was it ever? What is the point of a birthday if I am not existent?”
Chopin: “YES THE CAKE HAS VANILLA I LOVE VANILLA!”
Brahms: “Hmm? Ooh, cake, ahhhhh. Have some more, darling husband. Hmm. Nom-nom. Oh look, a unicorn is playing the piano.”
Bach: “I asked for VANILLA! This is CHOCOLATE! You made a MISTAKE. GET OUT! YOU’RE NOT MY SON ANYMORE!!!”
Mozart: “Anyway, did I tell you about the time I gave my dog the wrong present and he went back to the forest with it? It was a sad day because I couldn’t have the chews to myself. What IS this stuff? Beer? Well, I’ll have just a TAD bit more. A bit more, please? Thank you. Anyway, happy birthday, me, happy birthday, you...”
Ha! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
This is great
IT IS my BIRTHDAY today! ruclips.net/video/_szTxd3YFh4/видео.html

When I was at the U.S. Defense Language Institute in San Antonio in 2002, all six of my international classmates sang
"Happy Birthday to Mrs Ponce" for our instructor using each of their mother tongues---Korean, Turkish, Arabic, Bulgarian,
Spanish, and Japanese. Mrs Ponce was so delighted to hear six different linguistic versions of the song!
Wonderful! What a lovely birthday celebration for her.
What a talented lady. Truly brilliant.
The greatest teachers always throw in humor at every turn. That's because the great never stopped being children.
She ripped this material off of Victor Borge
@@choppersquonk yeah so what?A,she might have mentioned before the recording started and B,she did pretty good no matter whose the original idea was
"We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing." I can't remember who said that, but it's one of the best and truest fucking things I've ever heard.
@@svartmetall elaborate Mr so fucking true.
There are those who can play the written notes beautifully, and there are the truly great players who can have fun with serious music.
And, as Andre Previn found out, there are those who play all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order.

One has to have fully internalised those people's styles to so successfully ape them! 👏👏👏
ok but i mean, that doesn't look easy at all to me 😭😭😐😐😭😭😭
Too bad people have to be so cruel on the Internet. 90% of her audience probably never saw Victor Borge or even know who he was. I was a huge Borge fan ------------- and I am a fan of her doing this for today's audiences. Give her a break. I can name dozens of jazz musicians who cop all kinds of licks from the previous masters.
YESS!!! EXACTLY!!! I mean she's sharing her joy from Victor Borge with others so shouldn't Victor Borge's hardcore fans thank her? hmm.... Elvis Presley stole a lot of songs I believe
Yes! Great comment! Here, here! There needs to be more of this fun, not less. I was a fan of his too, and obviously this musician is as well. And who cares if she isn't the very first person to have done this? You're right, people seem to think just because they can hide behind a keyboard, they can be as nasty and irrationally nit-picky as they please without getting called on it.
Miss Capri x
Miss Capri A man goes on stage and enchants an ignorant audience with the wisdom of Jesus by delivering word for word His Sermon on the Mount. Ought he be lambasted for taking credit for doing so without even the slightest acknowledgement of its true author? Discuss.
Mike Vax I thank you for this comment. First I was actually searching for someone in the comment who knew who Borge was, because it looked so much like his shows here (as in reaaally), but he wasn't mentioned in the description or else.
Maybe it's a tribute and she mentioned it, but it just isn't showed. Maybe she does other things (first video that I'm watching). Maybe she even doesn't know him at all but has the same ideas (that can happen, I know what I'm talking about). So thanks for having put it in perspective.
Her chops are world class. Phenomenal display.
Wow! Love her playing
She's AMAZING😍

Victor Borge integrated other pieces and composers. Her talent and skill are not minimized because somebody else made Classical music accessible through "Happy Birthday."
Check out nahre sol doing happy birthday in various composers' styles. It's on the RUclips.
The Bach's version mingled very well with staccato and fugue in D minor . That version was fantastic
Staccato is an instrumental technique
@@reallettuceforlunch2192 what? So you can't play detached on other instruments?
@@brent3522 Yes you can, this guy just said Staccato and Fugue in D minor when it's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

He allí una forma magnífica de diferenciar a un músico aficionado de un especialista musical . BRAVO!! 🎉 BRAVO! 😊👏👏👏
That is a performer! I love it. The Chopin was so funny.
This woman deserves literally every fucking award there is and ever was that last one killed me omg. [edit: Upon my comment I have been made privy to information regarding the original performance that this woman is replicating. It was a genuine mistake, and I always wish to give credit where credit is due :) in the thread below you’ll find info regarding the original creator of this routine -Victor Borge-as well as the piece this talented pianist is copying as many performers do. Mimicry - when done tastefully - is quite different from MOCKERY. It is, in fact, deemed one of the highest forms of praise and flattery one can emote to a creator/artist/colleague. Those who play Mozart in recital are doing no different than this woman. My comment was meant to praise her ability to replicate someone else’s work. That’s all. :) With Peace&Love)
So you’re a ghost now?!
It's a direct rip off of Victor Borge. She didn't even bother changing up his routine.
Andrew Cooper i was just making a statement on the video itself...it made me smile to see her do the trick from Amadeus. That’s all..
Was the F word really necessary? Means you have a limited vocabulary.
She’s a fraud... stole the entire act from Victor Borge...
She really OWNS the piano... Wish I could improvise like that some day... BRAVO MISS 👏🏼

Incredible. The great pianist Victor Borge would have been very proud of you.

"this woman is awesome!" that is how ı thought in the middle of the video. she is so natural while playing , confident and impressive. ı am sure she practiced piano for years and this is the outcome of hard work and patience.
I dunno, it’s hard to say if she really practiced very much when watching her do the Mozart upside down switch hand thing
play Salieri.

That bit at the end (upside down under the keyboard, hands crossed) is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen from a musician.
I agree, Randall. As an amateur pianist, I would have to say that most people can't play in Mozart's style while positioned normally on a bench, much less while lying supine. Much more than a "gimmick."
Mozart was known for his insane piano skills. Moreso than his compositions when he was alive
