Hey, I'm just glad there are those who are continuing to entertain the way Borge did. He got us to listen to classical music in a way that made us laugh at his comedic musical creativity, while appreciating his musical talent. His comedic talents led me to an appreciation of classical music that I might never have had without his irreverent treatment of the genre. Nicole Pesce is doing the same for another generation. Bravo!
@@JeroenTheBoss Thanks for the link: nice to hear his version (though I wonder if it _was_ the earliest: I think the _idea_ has been around for yonks [Goldberg?]). I don't think anyone else does the _very_ drunk Mozart version though!
Thank you thank you, never have I enjoyed listening to “Happy Birthday” as much as this. The lady is a brilliant pianist and if the great masters were alive today, they would doff their hats to her. Happy Birthday will never be the same again!
It's the moonlight sonata. You have terzine and the tempo is slow so it's not so hard in fact you can learn the first movement in your second piano year. Or even play it first sight not so hardly.
Bravo! I sent a close friend a birthday e-card today, but after listening to this,I couldn't resist sending her this video too. It is simply too good not to share : ) Thank so much.
Nicole that was the most fun happy birthday video! Perfect for those classical music lovers! You could do each one separately as well and it would be incredible! ♥️
Very clever! I think you are so talented to immerse such a classic with the beautifulmusicians of the past. Your Mozart on a toasted binge was great! Really enjoyed it. Thanks...
What a glorious virtuosity and feel for the music Nicole has developed. My fav was the first Mozart and would love to hear her perform a Bach fugue version. Many thanks! Cheers from Oz - Dave
I have a hard time believing all the nonsense in many of the comments so far. This time I want to thank her for her own interpretation of the possible musicality of various composers of the past. Then I commend her for her personal sense of humor. If anyone "doesn't get it" I feel so sorry for you. If you can't have fun along the way, the trip isn't worth the trouble!
This is not her improvisation, she stole the entire idea and even the composition from Victor Borge. The only part she added in her own idea was the Bach part but which was nothing like Bach, but more like Liszt. Can anyone be less creative and pocess less grasp of the performance practice of different styles of composers than her? I feel so sorry to see plagiarism like this. This makes me really uncomfortable.
I think you are. There is no way of knowing if she actually got the idea from Victor but I doubt she stole the composition, you’re just being a jerk. She plays with the fury of Liszt but not his style, his style is far more distinct. In fact, I find it hysterical how you say she plays with a different style and then proceed to say she lacks creativity. The worst part of all though is the fact that she’s just having fun and the first thought you have is a criticism of her character, her playing, and her actual ability.
Excellent !!! Congratulations to Nicole Pesce for the different interpretations of Happy Birthday !!! I really had an incredible talent !! And I find the sense of humor fantastic !!! The Luttiers also make musical humor !!! And they are formidable !!!
This has become my favorite birthday present for my music-loving friends! You do a wonderful composition, mixing temps and intensity. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!!!!
Absolutely LOVED your versions of Happy Birthday. Have share it with all of my Facebook family. Please create more versions for other occasions ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THIS is one of my FAVORITE things on RUclips. I just LOVE it. This woman is MAGNIFICENT. And she probably knows all too well, that had it not been for those "other guys" she wouldn't have performed this. And QUITE successfully.
+Johann Sebastian Bach hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
There are many such variations on RUclips, many done in people's own homes; I like this one: ruclips.net/video/XjhWUf404_g/видео.html (If you do find this one without applause, please share a link - but I don't think there will be, because the "sozzled Mozart" trick is done for an audience).
What an amazing and talented performance by an amazing artist and congratulations on a superb and entertaining performance. I am sure all the composers you chose to play would applaud your creation. Congratulations and many thanks for a wonderful piece of entertainment and I am very impressed by your piano-playing expertise. I am sure the grand masters will be applauding your playing as you captured the spirit of their playing so well. Well done and thank you!
She's amazing- but I have to say that piano is the best sounding piano I have ever heard. especially given the quality of the camera recording... Sounds so clear and amazing.
***** no they aren't. And if you needed a mic for the Steinway, it shouldn't be pointed at the keys; it should be pointed at where the skins is coming from
I never get tired of watching this video. Fantastic interpretation at all levels. She should produce more musical sketches like this, so much fun!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Why hasn't this blown up already?!
She's really good!
This has become my standard birthday card to friends. Brilliant. Excellent pianist with a wonderful sense of humor.
I'll do that too!!
Lo mismo digo, acabo de buscarlo para enviarle a una amiga
How do 1.7K people NOT like this??? Her left hand on the Chopin is amazing! 😲
*È bravissima*
Thank you! July 10th is my birthday and this was truly a delightful way to kick 62 in the tail!

Bravo!
I was just thinking the same thing !!
Wow, I never knew Happy Birthday could be transferred into so many classical composer's styles. And the speed she plays - amazingly skilled! Brillant!
Never heard of Victor Borge??
@@captaindiligence7858 That's what I said, she reminds me so much of Victor Borge. I miss him.
There are many such medleys on RUclips. Though none of them have her "sozzled Mozart" version!

Wow. This lady is just awesome. What a talent! ❤️
Love it. She's original, funny and plays beautifully
Nicole, your talent is out of this world and you are funny too! What a great performance !!!!!!!!!!!! great presence, humble and SO talented
Thank you thank you, never have I enjoyed listening to “Happy Birthday” as much as this. The lady is a brilliant pianist and if the great masters were alive today, they would doff their hats to her. Happy Birthday will never be the same again!
I’m listening to this on my 19th birthday. So happy to be blessed by such magnificent musicians!
Me too but on my 80th birthday
Absolutely stunning performance!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I actually wanna learn Beethoven's version of happy birthday. It sounds so nice.
If you poke around RUclips looking at the Happy Birthday variations, I think some of them do either show, or include links to, the sheet music.
It's the moonlight sonata. You have terzine and the tempo is slow so it's not so hard in fact you can learn the first movement in your second piano year. Or even play it first sight not so hardly.
That was so much fun, I could watch it a thousand times. Love her sense of humor! Lol...
Love it! She really captures the styles of these wonderful composers. One of the most intriguing birthday greetings I've receoved!
The spirit of Victor Borge lives on! Bravo!
Je remercie mon ami Chris qui ce soir m'a permis d'écouter votre concert, Vous êtes formidable !!!
This is wonderful, never seen anything like this. Men! She's really good with the piano. This is what I call talented!
Bravo! I sent a close friend a birthday e-card today, but after listening to this,I couldn't resist sending her this video too. It is simply too good not to share : ) Thank so much.
Nicole that was the most fun happy birthday video! Perfect for those classical music lovers! You could do each one separately as well and it would be incredible!
♥️
It doesn’t matter what people think of her interpretations she is still a damn good pianist
Jealous people with no talent themselves.
Hearing Chopin’s polonaises blows me away every time.
it does matter if people think she is shit.
Exelente y de muy buena Actitud❤🙌🎊✋😇
Grazie Nicole ❤
GENIUS!!!! ❤️ Please, dont stop playing, I love you. You made them alive again ❤️
I absolutely enjoyed this from start to finish! What a talent and so much fun. I could watch and listen to her play all day. 🥰
This was sent to me as a birthday present and I really enjoyed it!
I'm currently using it on fb bdays
Very clever! I think you are so talented to immerse such a classic with the beautifulmusicians of the past. Your Mozart on a toasted binge was great! Really enjoyed it. Thanks...

I can't imagine why 55 K did not like this. Great performance of great music with great fun. Bravo!
Loved listening to this on my Birthday!!!!
this incredible. What a great mash up :D
Wow! Es increíble la adaptación que hace, sin duda una virtuosa extraordinaria de la música
Loved everything about this..put a smile on my face..how talented you are! You version of Bach is beyond amazing! Thank you
She’s simply fantastic! 👏👏👏👏👏
Talented, creative, energetic, humorous. Bravo! Loved the Bach.

I really do not waste my time reading comments. She's is amazing to play a "joke" like that. I love it.
@@吳曼瑄 Makes you uncomfortable? Really? Why is that? Because you think 'There can be only one?" Or does it go deeper than that?
I cried. It was magnificent.
I think you are. There is no way of knowing if she actually got the idea from Victor but I doubt she stole the composition, you’re just being a jerk.

Thank You, dear Nicole, for this great gift of creativity and humor - everyone I send it to
is de - lighted.
Abundant Blessings to You.

Well done Nicole.
I am in love with everything she did. ¡bravissimi!
These interpretations gave me a laughing, absolutely unexpected. Thank you Nicole Pesce.😀

Maravillosa interpretación. Gracias.
Fantastic! I played this medley for my spouse on his BD. Thanks a bunch. He loved it!
I love how she just throws an amazing quick playing without even struggling
Completly Charming! Very Nice! I Love It!
The best birthday piano music composition I have ever heard. Marvelous!!! Bravo! 👏 Well done.
Very talented!!!! Best birthday songs!
Wow, that was definitely not me
+Johann Sebastian Bach you win the internet hahahahha.
+Johann Sebastian Bach More like a bad transcription of Bach by Liszt.
+Johann Sebastian Bach oh, welcome Bach! so you're Bach from the dead?

+Johann Sebastian Bach Haha I know! You would've written a fugue.
Just wonderful!! Talented for sure and I enjoyed all the versions of happy birthday played by you. ……………………..
Extraordinaria. No me canso de verla
BRAVO. SUPERB !!! Million of Thanks, on my Birthday.
Wonderful. A talented pianist, able to add a little fun to her repertoire. Love it!🎉❤
Are you kidding me??? That was incredible!!!
Someone has to make a longer version of the Brahms one. Even though what she played was very short, it was still heart-breaking.
Very nicely done. Victor Borge did it in 1951.
Thank God his tradition lives on! :)
Yeah, I was going to mention that, too. He was better.
He was the only original...
Was just about to say that, too. And a lot funnier too.

Wow absolutely smoking technique and such humility! Wow!
OH! She is truly my Idol with her musical, humorous and creative talents. Love her so much.
This was actually really beautiful, I wonder if there's a version without all the noise

She is Brilliant. Victor Borge for today. Love it.
She makes all of them look so easy... especially the Mozart one.
Ich benütze die Video immer wieder für meine Freunde, Bekannte... jedes Mal EIN GENUSS, WUNDERBAR!!!!!
Very well demonstrated, Happy Birthday themes, Many Thanks for this talent.
I would love to get hold of the sheet music for these.
This Nicole Pesce and her performance just MADE my birthday today! Thank you so much!
Awesome technique, and awesome sense of fun. I'm so impressed.
What a performer! Fabulous set!
Wow! This is FABULOUS! My friend Ulla-Bell send this video to me for my birthday! I love it!
I’m not sure whether to think “This is so funny!” or “She plays so beautifully!”
Why not think both :O :D
C: All of the above
What an amazing and talented performance by an amazing artist and congratulations on a superb and entertaining performance. I am sure all the composers you chose to play would applaud your creation.

Wow she is Amazing. Borges for sure was having fun. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Semplicemente BRAVA 👏👏👏
She is wonderful! Did anyone credit Victor Borge with the idea here? Borge did the happy birthday routine for years.
This is probably the very first of Victor Borge's performance (1951):

She's amazing- but I have to say that piano is the best sounding piano I have ever heard. especially given the quality of the camera recording... Sounds so clear and amazing.
***** she is only using the mic to talk into. Mics are not need with Steinways.
***** no they aren't. And if you needed a mic for the Steinway, it shouldn't be pointed at the keys; it should be pointed at where the skins is coming from
You can literally see the microphone that is pointed towards the strings... on the right edge of the video...
Lots of fun! What a talented lady!!!
Wow! You have magnificent talent!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I loved every minute!❤❤❤❤❤
Play Salieri
Now that's a challenge 😉
You made me laugh out loud! Good one!
