Happy Birthday in the Styles of 10 Classical Composers (COMPILATION)

  • During the past 2 years, I've covered these 10 classical composers in my "How to Sound Like" series. Each episode was uploaded on or around the composers' birthdays, and I dissected the characteristics of their music to construct versions of Happy Birthday in their styles. This is a fun, celebratory, and educational exercise, and in no way am I claiming that the authenticity of these versions is anything more than sincere attempts at trying to understand the intricacies of each composer. Please keep that in mind, and enjoy!

      That's very well put. Some people seem to think you're just jamming at the keyboard, riffing on various composers. All the text flashes show you are doing anything but. Suspension here, augmentation there, you have thought these works through. I don't think you are mocking the composers. Instead you are picking out certain characteristics they favoured and exploring what you can do with them. That would be a labour of love requiring not only diligent study of the masters but also many hours of craft thereafter.

    Nahre's genius for channeling music-and explaining it-is boundless inspiration. She gets to the absolute heart of each composer's style and makes you aware of every nuance... the little quirks and flourishes that define each composer. My particular favorites are Satie and Reich, but honestly I could listen to Nahre Sol play the piano theme from Eyes Wide Shut. And that is saying something. Also: love seeing her dog peep out from beneath the piano!

    This is by far the best " ___ in different classical styles" video I've seen. I've noticed many others rely on just implementing sections of those composer's existing songs (every "Beethoven style" song has für Elise excerpts 😒) whereas you break down every composer's style into core elements and you weave it into something truely unique and sounds like an original interpretation or piece that every composer would hypothetically write. My favourite part is that you even included labels for us too follow along as you play. Well done, subbed 💥💥🙏🙏

Hiromi-I don’t know, she’s an amazing technician, but I haven’t (yet) been moved by any of her compositions. She sometimes seems to me like someone who went out on her own too soon, when she would have been better off being in a great leader’s band, learning from him or her for a few more years before striking out on her own. (Kind of like Al DiMeola, who had amazing technique, but became a solo artist before he really had anything to say, other than, “Damn, can I play this guitar really freaking fast!”)

    This drummer guy here in the comments said he feels like a musical caveman and that explains perfectly how i felt when watching this video. Also coming from a drummer

      Seconded to this "seconded" statement. I even know, I'm not a bad Drummer and singer but watching this I just feel like: "Why do I even think, I'm doing something similar to this one. I make noises, this here is Music."

      @@yellowcactustvz4929 yeah hahah, i knew there would be confusion, yes, also 15 is odd number, but i meant odd as in, a number that is rare or not commonly used, because 15 is odd number but it is used frecuently because of 5-10-15-20-... Etc so even though i think 15 is good example, i just said that because i wanted to enfatize the oddness of Satié in everything xd

    If you’d been my piano teacher when I was 7 years old, my life might have been different in this grey Vienna of the 70th. Thank you so much for sharing your abilities, your knowledge, your fun... You are amazing.
