I made a Part 2!! 🍂 Autumn Leaves in the Styles of 10 MORE Classical Composers (Beethoven Debussy, Satie, Kapustin…)
ruclips.net/video/UQfTkNmdv4c/видео.html
i liked the bonus best. sounds very nahre indeed.
Nahre Sol, the link in your video description for " My Piano Intensive Video Course" looks very suspicious. Can you confirm this is the intended URL?
SO good :D I sooo much wish there were stand-alone extended versions/ improvisations of each of those.
Just fantastic! Thank you!
Fantastic - You had Philip Glass in there…wasn’t expecting that! When will we see your album “à la NAHRE SOL” featuring your inspiring version of Autumn Leaves?
I really appreciate how you know the compositional styles of everyone and actually make the piece in the style of vs. sticking the tune into the middle of one of the composer’s pieces like a lot of these “in the style of” youtubers do.
“…vs. sticking the tune into the middle of one of the composer’s pieces…”
My thoughts exactly.
If you find more in the style of video's that are actually in the style of and not just a remade hit song please let me know. Genres anything rock/metal like :)
@@arcynical8053 nahre's happy birthday in the style of... is really good.
The style is only a decorative element, i would wish here to go futher...
The Bach version is epic
I struggle just to make Bach sound like Bach.
Best comment lmao
Your interpretations of all those composers are totally on point, as if you’ve gotten into their heads and made them play the piece for us.
True, but I would have like to have annotations as well on this piece ! Superb work on all pieces
I love how soft you play. Your music feels like a mysterious, uncertain, vulnerable yet excitingly unpredictable adventure to a fairy forest.

Unbelievable. The whole thing was amazing but the Liszt gave me chills. Nahre = genius.
I suggest a hot honey lemon tea
All these versions are great, but your own interpretation of the original is so beautiful. I sometimes come back just to listen to it
This pianist has a wonderful understanding of music and how it can be presented. She is truly an artist.
This is incredible Nahre! As a classically-trained jazz pianist, my mind is blown how you weaved the two worlds together with such perfection. Well done 👏
Hi you! :)
Yo Johny ! Nice to see you lurking !
Greetings great Maestro
wow the Philip Glass one was AMAZING. Also I like that you just put the word "suffering" on the Rachmaninoff segment
Lol I just commented the exact same thing!
I need a full version of the Glass one.
Agreed. Reminded me of the Downton Abbey theme song for some reason.
Agreed , I'm going to go listen to some Phillip Glass :)
@@David-yz4hk exactly!! it’s reassuring to know it wasnt just me thinking that :)
This is genius level composition and shows what a deep understanding of compositional style Nahre has ! Brilliantly executed and very educational and insightful
Ms. Sol you are a musical genius yourself. Brilliant! ❤
I’m sure some one else has said it, but your ability to compose all of these different versions in “the style of” shows how much you deeply and truly understand every composer you exhibit. I can’t help but think of insane amount of time and effort that has taken. Bravo!!! Love your videos!
Frederic Chopin “spaced out”. (Left hand 😅) I love Nahre, you are a genius.
BRILLIANT!!!! THANK YOU! A truly magnificent effort... All the continued VERY BEST!
Not actually entirely true, some of them are more like "charicatures", e.g. Liszt. It's like when everybody can make a Christopher Walken impression.
@@ErkaaJ so... can you do what she did? Regardless, of your view, I still her effort was brilliant ... considering the capture of the 'character' of the composers...
@@AnthonyJones-zo7dy You are perfectly allowed to, I think it is awesome what she is trying to do, but there is no need in making it seem deeper than it is.
I loved Nahre version the most. This video is RUclips at its finest!
How nice to see you here! :)
she's married, but nice try brother
you should do better than always using arpeggios
@@JSBach-pd4yg 😂
No
All of these composers are looking down amazed by this performance ❤️
I really don't listen much to classical music, I've listened to some popular pieces, and I'm very familiar with the song Autumn Leaves. I was smiling the entire time, thoroughly enjoying myself listening to the different manner the pieces were played based on those composers... It was educational, an eye opener, and was fun to listen to. Thank you. You're a magnificent pianist. ❤❤❤
This is why Nohre is so legend, she's so artfully creative w/ gorgeous emotive and stirring music that intrigues while enlightening one's mind. 🎶🎹🔥
Absolutely
Nahre is such a legend indeed.
Sounds like an AI generated comment. You would be a good oil & gas lobbyist.
Yesreh
Fun fact) Nohre means song in korean
In addition to this amazing performance, I especially loved the captions describing the techniques you used to emulate each composer. The timing/editing made it so much easier to follow!
Yeah, I watched the descriptions like I understand them (I don't), but having listened to most of those composers I can intuitively see how the original song was translated to the difference styles and techniques.
And some are really funny!
Nahre demonstrates a magnificent understanding of the styles of these composers. Her playing is delightful. Subscribed
Several centuries of music culture in one video😃
This video inspiring so much. Each style sounds so cool!
Awesome :D Please, do a video with how famous jazz pianists would interpret a classical piece ;)
You may be interested to hear Chick Corea's last album. He plays some Chopin, Scarlatti and Scriabin in addition to his own compositions and jazz standards.
You might want JiminDorothy for that
What a great idea!
Not Piano but Grant Green- Mozart 40 is fun. Also Eugene Cicero Swinging the classics
Don't forget Jacque Loussier.
Genius level achieved 🙌🏼 So much musicality and creativity in there, while on point at a next level. I had to go back and enjoy Liszt a few times. So good! I love this.
Thank you 😍😍😍
I laughed immediately with Liszt. Seemed almost like parody 😊😊
This is absolute brilliance. We need more of this in the world these days. Thank you.
Fantastic ❤
I love the Autumn leaves and classical music. This was the best, and so accurate. Like teaching magician secrets. Bravo.
It almost doesn’t matter how faithful the pianist is to the mimicked composer ; the pianist adds a sweet style to all these variations and they’re just a pleasure to listen to.
Just amazing. As always. As a musicologist, this should be a mandatory video for my students to learn about genre, style and manières of composers. Thanks again.
The Rachmaninoff gave me chills, you absolutely have captured it!
What a learning experience to listen to. Your talent and creativity runs off the charts. Thank you so much, Nahre.
Those subtitles truly make me realize each composer's uniqueness. Like, Yes yes he does that. Truly talented all round classical and jazz keyboardist. You'll go places, Girl!
You are incredible at this. The Phillip Glass one was gorgeous. You should do a full song in that style.
Yes
I will never listen to Autumn Leaves the same way again. I will watch it several times just to get a good idea of your descriptions for each composer. very entertaining.
The ability to play a piano at all is a mystery to a normal mortal like me, but this stuff is from another planet. As somebody remarked below, RUclips at its best.
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT JOB! I can only imagine how much you worked on this!
I looove the Ravel version! And as a classically trained pianist, I overall loved watching this.
As a jazz guitarist (who plays some classical guitar and crosses genres quite a bit) this is really well-done. Your version is really first-rate! Thank You!
I've probably learnt more in the last eight minutes, than in the last eight years of listening to classical and film music! What an amazing distillation of years of experience. Thank you, Nahre.
As soon as you started the Bach rendition I started smiling and didn't stop the whole time. Also really liked the high notes on Liszt and all of Gershwin. Oh, and Philip Glass. All of it. Really amazing work.
It's absolutely fascinating how the mixture of tendencies of each composer really do make them sound "like themselves". The ending of your Ravel interpretation made me want to hear Autumn Leaves à la Erik Satie.
Yeah I would have loved to hear a Satie and Debussy version.
But the ones here are amazing nonetheless!
I'd also love to hear Nahre's version in the style of Piazzolla.
Yes. It was a marvelous performance and interpretation.
I am familiar with all but three composers. The concept of demonstrating the different composing styles by adapting one song to fit those styles is pure genius! Thank you for sharing your gift with us!
OMG, I can definitely see each composer writing this melody in his own style! Can't event tell who is my favorite, 19 century - List, 20 - probably Rakhmaninov.
Thank you for giant piece of amazing job you did!
This is an astonishing display of pianistic mastery of the highest plain. Miss Sol explores the labyrinthine technical possibilities of the piano covering a wide range of idioms. A truly breathtaking experience. Is it mere coincidence that she chose the same key as Liszt's Transendental Etude on the Paganini theme, La Campanella? G#minor. Not the easiest of keys. This is a musical monument, something in the line of what Alexei Kissin would play, only more imaginative. I am truly blown over. Thank you for sharing this precious moment.
God bless.
perfect!
I'm curious why you automatically think her preference of key had anything to do with Liszt's version of la Campanella? Why couldn't it have just been a coincidental choice? This piece had little to do with Liszt or the Paganini Etude. In fact, her variations go through the gamut of the most well known composers, (Except for Brahms ). 😢
The Key of G# Major may be "very difficult" to you, but from a pianistic vantage, it is a very comfortable key to play in. The White keys & black keys align very well with the hands natural posture. This is why Chopin would teach his students to play scales with the most flats & sharps before scales with all natural keys like that of C Major & a minor.
@@marblemadness8870 that was such a mean response, damn.
This is truly one of the comments of all time. Bravo Vince!
Good composing too.
During those 7 Minutes i cheered, laughed and cried more than i did this whole year. I can hardly describe what kind of magic you have there, or genius, and I don't even know if I wanna thank you for hitting my emotions so hard, but let me express my greatest respect for you, your art, your work - and thank you so, so much for sharing it with us!
This is the most enlightened thing I've ever heard!
Great comment, my thoughts exactly! :-)
We should see that this is a lot about what is happening in this world. All about style, hard to discover the real content in these ongoing matters of conflict.
So, Nahre helps us to recognize content, when doing these examples.
What seems the meaning of all the preachings, in fact it is only style, and has the purpose of "alignment". We getting taken for a ride all the time.
Nahre takes us for a ride in a funny and enlightening way. So we can leave the wrong train in our reality. In music, fortunately there are no wrong trains, but to us as individuals, some may look and sound simply more familiar.
Right on! Said so beautifully….. thank you
touch grass bro
I know the video length is short, but this really had to take TONS of time to create and practice. Not only that, but of course, you're drawing upon a lifetime of experience playing music from these composers. Hats off!
That Rachmaninoff part was really pleasant to listen to
The Liszt one sounds like you crammed every Liszt-esc technique into 30 seconds 🤣 Also the humour of the last note being effectively the same but different names is hilarious!
Genius composing
I really appreciate how you can clearly tell the style of each composer and the melody is still there! Nahre, you are a genius! I would love to hear a Debussy rendition!
I was also going to suggest Debussy.
And Erik Satie!
Read my mind.
And Beethov
Thanks for including him in the Happy Birthday video!
I just appreciate how much you have embodied each classical composer on how will they interpret it as if the original jazz piece travelled back in time and being reborn. Refreshing and very educational.
YAYyyy! Bravo!!! I hope you can compose your own classical music! I am so proud of you in advance! My name is Rich! Make a Rich violin concerto when you are ready!!!!
That was stunning!! Your understanding of the composers and absolutely magical fingers punctuated with words like "Whimsical'", Glistening Broken Chords" and "Almost fragile" made for a phenomenal video!!! THANK YOU!!!
The Ravel and Shostakovich versions are very fascinating and intriguing for me. I love those. You portrayed elements of their music very excellently.
Yes same! Ravel was the most aurally interesting, while I am a sucker for Shostakovich’s sarcasm.
This is such an insightful and fun video! I love the approach you took to representing each composer! Wow! That was so cool, I'm super impressed.
OMG ! You gave me goosebumps ! Awesome ! You’re brilliant !
How pretty is the Mendelssohn.....and I like the 'sinister' ending to the Liszt ! You are so clever, so talented to do this, and thanks for sharing it with us 😊
"a bit tragic" lol
"as if overcast"
I guess she's a bit of a humorist as well
Thank you for explaining more about these composers by your interpretation than a hundred lectures could.
(I still love the bare, minimalist original the most - it sends shivers down my spine.)
Thank you Nahra, it was such a happy musical experience, to hear your enlightening interpretations. I will definitely listen to part 2.
You made the piece "not jazz" in the most jazz way possible. This was a lot of fun!
Spectacular bonus there. It's just as impressive when jazz gets to let its classical side come out to play as the other way around.
This is not in fact Jazz, like many Jazz classics. This is french Chanson.
Your version was my favorite!
Brilliant work, Nahre.
About the song from wikipedia and the interwebs:
"Autumn Leaves" is a popular song and jazz standard composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945 with original lyrics by Jacques Prévert in French (original French title: "Les Feuilles mortes" - “Dead leaves”), and later by Johnny Mercer in English. The melody was influenced by a piece, "Rendez-vous", a ballet by Joseph Kosma written for Roland Petit, performed in Paris at the end of the Second World War, large parts of the melodies are exactly the same, which was itself borrowed partially from "Poème d'octobre" by Jules Massenet with lyrics by Paul Collin.
The first commercial recordings of "Les Feuilles mortes" were released in 1950, by Cora Vaucaire and by Yves Montand.
As a jazz standard, "Autumn Leaves" has accumulated more than a thousand commercial recordings. The song was recorded steadily throughout the 1950s by leading pop vocalists including Steve Conway (1950), Bing Crosby (1950), Nat King Cole (1955), Doris Day (1956), and Frank Sinatra (1957). It was also quickly adopted by instrumental jazz artists including Artie Shaw (1950), Stan Getz (1952), Erroll Garner and Ahmad Jamal (separately in 1955), Duke Ellington (1957), Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis, Vince Guaraldi (all 1958), and John Coltrane (1962, maybe earlier). Roger Williams made the song a number-one hit in the U.S. in 1955, the first piano instrumental to reach number one. Composer Terry Riley has written a contrafact of the song (1965), using the same principle of small repetitive cells of melody and rhythm first put in use in his breakthrough piece, In C (1964).
In 2012, jazz historian Philippe Baudoin called the song "the most important non-American standard" and noted that "it has been recorded about 1400 times by mainstream and modern jazz musicians alone and is the eighth most-recorded tune by jazzmen." The song is heavily referenced in "La Chanson de Prévert", a song by Serge Gainsbourg.

Sheer genius! Your insight into the stylistic quirks of so many different composers is breathtaking, and it's all played with such zest and assurance. The captions are brilliantly witty, and informative at the same time. Just amazing all round!
I love this. She is such a talented musician to be able to hear and play the sometimes subtle differences in players across centuries.
Just musically amazing.
That was absolutely brilliant. You captured the style of all the composers perfectly - and the choice of Autumn Leaves was spot on. It has such a great melody and you turned it into a magical musical journey. Bravo!
Brilliant! I really enjoyed the mix of technical terms with comments to describe the mood of your arrangements. Outstanding!
I love each version! A musical genius you are! Bravo and a standing ovation from me to you!
This is one of the most educational videos on RUclips! That you can demonstrate the style of each composer was amazing to hear and to see. Thank you for taking the time to add the descriptive captions. Really well done!!! Your talents and skills are astonishing! Thank you!!
The interpretations are brilliant and gorgeous. (The descriptions-e.g., “pearly,” “whimsical but slightly threatening”-are enlightening and exactly on point.)
Nahre, it's just recently I've discovered you. I really love what you do and enjoy seeing you play. I certainly look forward to hearing lots more from you - you are inspirational.
I absolutely LOVED this! Thank you so much for dreaming all this up and then sharing it on a public and free venue! It's wonderful!
I'm not a musician, but a listener. Enjoyed your variations on "Autumn Leaves".
As I watched, I called out, "do Gershwin, do Gershwin!"...and you did Gershwin! 🤩
Thanks, Nahre.
I love the description for Shostakovich, “like a dark circus.” I can think of several of his symphonic movements to which this could apply.
Symphony no 9 lol
Leningrad first movement came to mind
yes! second movement of the violin concerto got one of my favorite dark circus movements
@@kofiLjunggren nah, the 9th is just a circus. nothing dark, at most ironic
Your written comments on the style are both hilarious and downright savage at times, well done!
watching you play piano is so much fun!
Absolutely magnificent, Nahre Sol.
I particularly love the on-screen commentary-it’s like the musical equivalent of one’s favorite intrepid foodie’s review of choice dishes at the best restaurants!
Thank you so much for these remarkable offerings. You are one of the greatest music teachers alive today.
That’s amazing how strong you are in knowledge of each composer style. And definitely put every pattern into the arrangement! That’s wonderful!!!
How lovely! I can't imagine the thought and effort that went into this. Thank you Nahre for sharing such beauty.
Brilliant! And now on to your Part 2!
Marvelous playing and artistry as always. This needs a part 2!
Proposed composers: Scarlatti, Haydn, Beethoven, Clara Schumman, Albéniz, Scriabin, Florence Price, Kapustin, Ginastera, Gabriela Lena Frank
*Debussy
Handel.. And Vivaldi too would be very interesting to hear and watch ^^
Phenomenal! Excellent work Nahre!
Nahre has a very creative touch!
Our professor built our first music composition class around your video, so I guess you’re absolutely great
I am FLOORED by your talent! Also - props to the editing - I LOVED the little notes and descriptions at every turn, my adhd brain LOVED it while listening/watching! So detailed and fascinating!
I'm only at Bach and can already tell, this is just fantastic, bravo! Chapeau l'artiste !!!
This was incredible. My favourite one yet. The Bach and Rachmaninoff made me laugh out loud with how accurate they were! Loved it.
This is so good, pleasant to listen to, educational, fun, well made, I'm missing the words to express how thoroughly impressed I am by the idea and execution.
Kudos and thanks for this!
There is so much to admire about your work, Nahre! It’s hard to know where to begin! Not only is this work (and your others) incredibly knowledgeable in terms of what makes each composer’s style unique, but your technique is so fluent and easy, that I forget to notice how difficult the playing is! I can feel how much you enjoy making your own music!
Other pianists might be able to interpret different composers well, but you take your musicality and brilliance to a totally new level by composing your own arrangements. I am blown away, and have already listened to this three times in a row.
I am fascinated, and cannot say which of these ‘variations’ is my favourite, and your original them and your own style at the end are also wonderful!
Your videos are now the first that I look for, when I look on RUclips!
i just love these composers' syles videos!
Nahre always delivers! This is an interesting exploration though: it gives us a basis to easier understand each composer not only based on the general stylistic choices made during their respective eras but their personal preferences/choices as well. Would definitely love to see other pieces of music of varying styles reinterpreted this way and learn but can barely imagine the insane amount of effort put in to this. Thank you, Nahre!
That’s fantastic Nahre. You inspired me🙏🏻😊
Very imaginative and very well executed. I enjoyed the entire video!
“suffering” 😂 I adore playing Rachmaninoff’s piano music and think you did such a great job capturing the feeling of his compositions (and the others, too).
Holy crap that Liszt interpretation was insane! Fair play to you Nahre 👏
Fantastic! Just discovered your work. I’m amazed. Thank you for such great videos and for sharing your endless knowledge.
Your awesome girl, literally loved this, thanks for the time and effort put into this. 🙃
This sounds beautiful, I would *love* to hear more pieces in even more styles. She did an incredible job.
At times I was reminded of Keith Jarrett. Been thinking about him a lot and when I ask if anyone I know knows him...I get blank looks. People really seem to not know one of the greatest pianists in recent history. This week I checked my local Library and they had ONE CD from about the 100 he put out! Anyways...great job here.
"whimsical but slightly menacing"..... nice!
This is mind blowing !!!… thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Have to say, your version was quite nice :) You still get the jazzy undertones from the original composition but you get the emotion you've put into it, as if it were both trying and testing, but also sing-songy and bright at moments. Well done Nahre! It was great.
I learned so much from your incredible videos and share them with anyone interested. Thank you for who you are.
Thank you for this treat Nahre!
