0:27 something in Mozart's style, don't recognize it
0:36 Mozart Turkish March
0:48 original variation?
1:19 Chopin Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2
2:07 Beethoven Pathetique Movt. 1
2:30 Probably an original in Beethoven's style, but somewhat reminds me of Liszt's Totentanz
2:58 Chopin Scherzo No. 2 B-flat minor Op. 31
3:07 Debussy Clair de Lune
3:46 Liszt Un Sospiro, probably the most difficult piece in the arrangement
4:22 C Blues/Ragtime
+Mina Zhang well all the pieces he quoted are for the most part staples of the classical piano repertoire
+Traidmarck thank you
2:30 is my favorite part
I can't believe you can actually play Happy Birthday with Pathetique.
Chopin's scherzo is more difficult
0:37 : Transition to Turkish March- Rondo Alla Turca (Mozart)
1:20 : Transition to Nocturne Op. 9-2 (Chopin)
1:51 : Transition BACK to Nocturne Op. 9-2 (Chopin)
3:07 : Transition to Flair de Lune (Debussy)
3:46 : Transition to Un Sospiro (Liszt)
You, sir, are amazing for fusing together these four completely different songs together. I've seen similar fusions before, but they were usually to unsmooth, giving the impression of forcing the two pieces to play together. But this is just incredible.
Grande Sonate Pathetique is also in there
After so many years this Birthday song still rocks! What an amazing talent!!! ❤
This song is longer then my birthday party
Ahahha true like mine too😂😂
I wish you a more than 6 minute birthday party next year ... and hope, maybe, you get an attention span as a gift. 8~}
and your understanding of then vs. than
Hi hi....you are funny.
who is?
Like so everyone can see!
Pieces Based/Referenced (in order):
1 - "Rondo alla turca," Piano Sonata 11, Mozart
2 - Nocturne 2, Op. 9, Chopin
3 - Piano Sonata 8, Op. 13, Beethoven
4 - Scherzo 2, Op. 31, Chopin
5 - Claire de Lune, Suite Bergamasque, Debussy
6 - "Un Sospiro," Concert Etude 3, Liszt
Also to note, in the end there is some Jazz and Ragtime included.
yeeeeahh thanks mate :D
do you know where he got the part from 2:41 from? couldn't find it in Piano Sonata 8 Op.13 nor in Scherzo 2 by chopin :(
You think the Jazz and Ragtime stuff is composed by Andrew or someone else? I am trying to find out the composers.
Rendersen22 Yeah I think it might of benn Andrew himsel. Usually when it comes to playing boogie woogie, jazz, ragtime, and etcetera, it involves improvisation.

Sir you just played the hell out of "Happy Birthday" and everything thing else!!! YOU ARE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!
hello there, i have viewed and reviewed this video a lot of times during birthdays of my family members and friends as well. i never get tired and bored of listening to his birthday piano rendition. Andrew Johnson is a genius.
I'm a Pianist and Today is my Birthday; my best friend sent me this one and I actually can't stop listening to it !! Thank You for being a part of that Precious Gift
I remember first watching this over a decade ago and it still remains in my memory to this day, sometimes I still find parts of this randomly in my mind. I love this, thank you for still being here 💛
12 years and I am still amazed
The best "Happy Birthday Song" I've ever heard! It's so amazing!
Watching him play at some sections feels like they sped up the footage. That's how good he is!
I watch this every year. A little birthday present to myself.
He is incredible. His hands are so fluid. I got to Grade 8 (England) when I was 18 (long ago!) and never hoped to reach that skill. Talented, young, handsome and a nice guy too! What a mix!
He is Exceptional LOVE THIS
me: *learns cool piano skill and shows it off and feels really great*
also me: * sees this video later and then cries at my failure in life*
nahh u are at least a lot better than most ppl bud , I don't even have opportunity to learn though i am interested in .....How is going bud? it's been four years. we might not known each other but it's good to chat with u
Ten years later, still loving this epic tune!
I watched this video for the first time a year ago without any prior classical piano music knowledge. It got me obsessed with piano and Id listened to classical for hours. Now, coming back to it, I reconize how many pieces were mashed into this. I’ve even learnt Chopin’s Nocturne in E flat major. It both makes the progress from hours of practice visible and increases my love for this arrangement. Good job
This is absolutely awesome!!! I could pick out Mozart, Chopin, Debussy, for sure!! What a creative rendition of Happy Birthday with some of the greatest classical pieces written!!
It went from simple, to okay piano, to HOLY CRAP WHERE ARE HIS FINGERS to WHUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTT to I AM IN LOVE to softer, to simple again
Most amazing birthday song I've ever heard. Excellent!!
This never gets old. Ever.
His pinky hits a note harder than my whole fist
Does Andrew have a youtube channel? He's really good!!!
I was wondering the same thing! This dude is amazing!
Absolutely Fantastic!!! I had to sit and listen to it; I couldn't walk away.
Oh, my goodness! I'm going to cry because it's my birthday! This is beautiful! Thank you!
FANTASTIC ARRANGEMENT.... A Birthday Piece to a Whole New Level!
Everytime when I watch such talanted peoples..... I feel like im a usless piece of trash :/

Same
Marijn Adams Why do you say that?
practice ;-)
Practice makes perfect
Practice gets nearer and nearer to perfection ... the irony being ... there is no perfection. 8~}
Oh my gosh I remember watching this years ago and I was like 13 so I didn't really watch youtube aside from viral videos but I just remember showing this to all my friends and I had no idea who you were haha! And now I just searched for it for old times sake and I didn't realize it was your channel b/c I watch a bunch of your videos! I just thought that was really funny but I wish it were you playing the piano b/c I know how talented you are
Congratulations you are amazing, keep playing with such a talent!!!
The shivers you get when Clair de Lune pops out...amazing arrangement!
Amazing Just Great! Loved The Mixed between Happy Birthday & Classic Piano Music Pieces Mozart , Chopin Debussy & a Little of Jazz! :D Greetings from Syria :)

Taiga Lee lol
@@amoyymalikNo he didn't this how it always go
I still send this to people on their birthdays. Still my favorite birthday medley on the internet.
videos like this inspire me to keep practicing three hours or more a day.
Steinway and Sons piano, you know just like a $100,000 piano no big deal. #Goals
+Refresh I can't take you serious because of your anime background :/
Funny enough, my folks have a Steinway and I've always preferred Baldwin.
I've always wanted a Steinway and Sons grand, thanks to the syf i fell in love with the piano but the age has not came yet, i'm below 12
My friend belongs to a very wealthy family. They own several different models of Steinway pianos, yet no one in their family knows how to play them. Such a shame. Wish I could put it to good use :/
I'm still waiting on the mp3 on iTunes......! It says it's coming soon in the description!!
jkSam still waiting... already waiting for soo long damn
This is so wonderful.....what a talent....God bless him! I send this to all my friends having birthdays.

And I'm just sitting here getting facebook notifications.
Don't think youre so special
Which song is it at 1:20?
It's Chopin - nocturne op.9 no.2
Thank you Fanni K.
I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......when I hear people play the piano or any musical instruments as well as this it means ppl are gifted as God has chosen to give them and I am glad we can play any instrument to glorify God whether that’d be piano or anything to glorify his wonderful name with a Joyful noise! To God Be The Glory! However folks if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! It is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!
this is brilliant, thankyou so much for the sheet music....love the little liberace boogie woogie or something at 4:25 too
he hits the keys much too hard for my taste and emotion when he started playing Chopin's Nocturne, but I get this is for fun XD and not to be taken super seriously.
Dooode at thsis time listening I have think like you before I seen your comment)))
That could very well just be the piano itself, or the microphone recording it, or a combination of the two.
themouseinator I doubt it's the piano, and the microphone could be a part of this, but for me there's a clear difference between pp and f in the tonality of the note itself.
Could you play it and record it for us for comparison?
LinkBulletBill Nah, you're just bougie and pretentious.
He's bald now.
Ha - getting there!
At least he's got a set of skills that will not only last the rest of his life, but will continue to grow, no matter what his hair looks like...
What you got?
My percussion ensemble group is doing this song! It sounds awesome with the percussion instruments added to the piano
Bravo ! Music that brings peace and love, optimism, calling the Union ! Music heals! God sent to Earth in every country, Brilliant ! Thanks so much ! :)
