Wired did a great job getting Nahre for this video. She didn’t simply explain ‘this is easy (lvl 1)... now this is difficult (lvl 16)’ like in a clickbaity list. Instead she really defined the steps of complexity within a composition in a way that is accessible for both musicians and non-musicians.
I'm not sure, but I think the editor is herself, because on her own youtube channel you can see the same kind of labeling too, the same visual style and the same textual style. Sometimes the labels are pointing out things that she didn't say on the video, it's complementary. So I think she's did that herself. In Jacob's wired video, he also edit it himself in his style.
I mean don't get me wrong if I could play piano like that I'd show off to as many people as I can I really don't care what others think at that point because if you can play piano your basically a demigod.
@OneFourFive i would watch richard atkinson, richard atinkinson actually analyzes muical compisitions of the classical era. no idea who adom nolly is tho
She kindda achieved that in a way... remember that music deals with memory, and memory is a human characteristic (not just having it, but the extend by which we live by it as opposed to instinct of the moment) and when we start twisting memory and it's representations, we start to change (and reflect on) the way we perceive our own perception of reality and how we record it.
I think everyone who cares anything about music should watch this. It's absolutely eye opening and a rare opportunity to see how vast the musical landscape is. It's often said "you don't know what you don't know". This is one of those rare videos that allow you to take a peek at how much you don't know in regards to music in a digestable format for the layman.
I thought overall she did pretty well. I just wish she went a little deeper into the harmonic side of things. She only very briefly touched on it and it was almost more of an afterthought rather than the main focus.
@@connorwilde1471 I believe her intent was not to teach you how to use these compositional techniques, but rather to show you what you COULD do. There are plenty of resources on harmony available; she wanted to demonstrate other aspects of the musical spectrum.
Malus Genius _does_ come in different strands! It's actually odd though, just like you can see an increase in the complexity and/or a _decrease_ in familiarity of a piece of sheet music, so to can you see it in most mathematical equations!

This is a really great piece. Nahre's analogies are ON POINT, her explanations are fantastic. The editing and graphics were minimal yet so informative. Tasteful choices. Very pleasing to watch.
this is awesome! she explains it well without making it boring. I'm not a huge piano enthusiast but I found this extremely interesting as both a musician and a regular person. it's cool to know the music terms and hear her put them together like that.
You know someone's a great musician when you see how careful yet precise they create a sound through their instrument. A lot of ppl think its all about how fast or crazy one plays, but as Nahre mentioned physicality does not equate to complexity.
She is very diplomatic with regards to the many possible interpretations of "complexity." To me, this is a clear sign of wisdom. And, in case you didn't know, not all talented musicians are wise. EXCELLENT video.
Good point. I always appreciate when someone notes that a term is overloaded with meaning rather than stating a definition as if its the only one. Complexity, seems like a term that various fields have different takes on. Its been something I would like to learn more about in the future. Just reading the wikipedia article on it has been very though provoking.
Agreed. The thought of "more / more complex = better" is just stupid mental masturbation. Musical masturbation (exaggeration to showcase skill whether with vocals or instrument) just sounds bad in all shapes and forms.

Someone who is this effortlessly able to just come in and out of different genres and seamlessly do and uno all different ideas while explaining the whole time like it’s nothing is just so impressive. It’s almost like she’s a surgeon who’s got herself cut open on the table and is giving a lecture on how to perform complex surgeries without the fact that she’s demonstrating on herself phasing her in the least
reaching negative levels (ways) of untalent by leaving a comment like that, ie takes very little talent to make a comment like that lol (no offence, im untalented too (2 [level 2]))
Nahre did a Master-Class job of explaining all of these possible musical techniques available in the composer's palette in such a short period of time! Also excellent job of showing them applied in the context of the Piano.
@Just Me My meaning was - amount of time required to learn all that theory and begin to put it into practice. Though with a brain like mine 2000 years would not be enough, so I'll take your 200! Cheers!
Baby steps, friend. A lot of this stuff comes naturally as you come in to your own. Think about it, everything taught has to be thought first. Meaning you will probably think of your own ways to make music and possibly in the process create a new method. This is how all music theory was invented. Music lovers playing with their instruments. Keyword, playing. We don’t focus on that very much, but to play rarely has aim.
@@Tonyisgaming I guess you're right. Anyways, I tend to regard piano players as these magical beings anyways, lol. I play a bit of drums, on a good day I might even feel inclined to consider myself a decent drummer, but piano players are just a few orders of magnitude above anything I could ever endeavor to do. Jealousy, sir!XD Have a great day!
I've never heard so many different versions of Happy Birthday 😅! I am caught in a Nahre Sol RUclips rabbit hole and the deeper I get, the more excited I am! Her knowledge and creativity are beyond stunning! Every single video is a gem!
Piano teacher: You didn't practice much this week, did you? Me: Well, um... Are you familiar with the concepts of "polytonality" and "melody manipulation"? It's really hard for me to articulate, but I feel like I may have this natural ability to transform the melody in unrecognizable ways. Unintentionally. Maybe I'm gifted?
"Whatever you do with music, it always has to have some sort of purpose other than just being an intellectual exercise - cuz otherwise whats the point?" The most important statement of this video. Great Job!
uh, it was actually a juvenile statement !! ... because twinkle twinkle literally started as an intellectual exercise on melodic variation as well as many famous pieces..
@@whyit487 nahre is a classical musician but she experiments when it comes to composition, but she played multiple liszt/chopin-esk sounding pieces throughout this video, you just didn't pay attention I think. :D
I've come back to this video 3 years later. What a wonderful talent and brain. Thank you for your contribution to the world and art Nahre, we are all better for it.
How smart you must be to be focused on four different concepts that run simultaneously and yet execute all of them perfect.. It's like my computer doesn't have that much RAM.. Kudos
This was my favorite of the complexity series. I absolutely loved the way you explained the various aspects of music theory and how you used complexity to embellish the piece. Truly amazing.
mokrodog1234 She is playing so fast that these viewers thought that the video was sped up, hence their desire to check the speed of the video that you can modify in settings.
Yeah, there's a reason why even rocket scientists are glad that they studied aerospace engineering instead. And no, it's not merely a meme. Music theory is legitimately difficult.
That's not hard since they don't have the copyright to it anymore and the judge who ruled that ordered them to pay back millions of dollars in claimed royalties.
this thread is amazing lmao, you have a guy who calls out a guy who was being sarcastic, that guy probably liked the comment, then another guy comes in and thinks that the sarcastic guy is not sarcastic and calls out the guy that told the sarcastic dude to shut up, then the guy that called out the sarcastic guy told the guy who called him out because he thought that they weren't sarcastic says that the sarcastic guy was being sarcastic, amazing lol
hahaha this made me laugh! ... however, don't let this intimidate you.. you can get a lot of enjoyment out of playing without remotely reaching her level. I guess it would partly depend on what your goal is in playing the piano. If you're trying to attain her expertise then I'd be intimidated too but hey it's still possible. Idk why i wrote this message cuz I know you were kidding but just thought i'd mention this lol
Daniel B hey! Thank you for stopping by. I know I will never be as good as her and I don’t really “wants” to play with such complexity. After watching this video I feel like to express my defeat speech by writing funny comments just for the laugh. Honestly I’m a huge Bacharach and Carpenters fan. I’m dying to learn their arrangement (which just enough for me).
I know you're just joking, but neuroplasticity is a heck of a thing. Spend some time practicing, and spend some time watching and reading materials you're interested in. Eventually, your brain will probably make the necessary connections. The connections make themselves passively, but they're fed by meaningful activity. "Getting Better at Stuff" is the brain's favorite song, and practice is a dime in the jukebox. Time spent crappily playing something you want to play not-crappily is time well spent, and listening to your own crappy playing is just fuel for the trip. Everyone pays that toll.
i have played piano for maybe 11 years now, when you showed all the lvel up to 15, i was like.. ok i can still do this. Then you combined all levels on 8:56. i died
Its not about levels. She just altered and elongated the song and then described it with complexity. Simple even i can pull that off. Its like people exaggerating. Ez
@@tahaqtr7439 Complexity did not mean difficulty here. It was a presentation of the "toolkit". A lot of difficult stuff is not even complex but simply very fast, etc.
I've been feeling pretty depressed lately but watching Nahre explain how she feels about music and composition made me feel really happy to see someone so passionate and in love with their art.
I’ve been stuck on a song I made at 10yrs old. Built it up until I was 15 and couldn’t make it more complex after that. I am now 22 and haven’t created any new progress. This video made me realize not only am I stuck at the 6-7 stage. Thank you for this video now I know where to improve
Stephanie K what makes she a genius is the fact that she teaches us all this stuff and make it look easy and also she has a lot of talent at composing.
Incredibly concise and pretty amazing to understand where you are your musical learning journey. She's phenomenal and makes this wild complexity approachable. I love the intimacy she shows in what level 16 means. And somehow it's possible with a song I'm not deeply tired of 😂
This is a HUGE honor, thank you so much for having me on!!!

People go with 10 cause they don't understand , it's so basic and clickbaity if you don't know how to organize something into hierarchies go for 10...
But i think lucas brar is an exception
Condensing 20 years of music theory in 10 minutes?! I feel ... inadequate! XD
@Just Me My meaning was - amount of time required to learn all that theory and begin to put it into practice. Though with a brain like mine 2000 years would not be enough, so I'll take your 200! Cheers!
Baby steps, friend. A lot of this stuff comes naturally as you come in to your own. Think about it, everything taught has to be thought first. Meaning you will probably think of your own ways to make music and possibly in the process create a new method. This is how all music theory was invented. Music lovers playing with their instruments. Keyword, playing. We don’t focus on that very much, but to play rarely has aim.
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDdddddddddddd
They should show this in every music theory class this fall and be like "with study, you can flip common melodies on their head just like this!"
@@Tonyisgaming I guess you're right. Anyways, I tend to regard piano players as these magical beings anyways, lol. I play a bit of drums, on a good day I might even feel inclined to consider myself a decent drummer, but piano players are just a few orders of magnitude above anything I could ever endeavor to do. Jealousy, sir!XD Have a great day!
Okay I thought I would never be impressed by Happy Birthday melody but this was crazy
Watch "How to sound like Bach" by Nahre Sol. There she uses this theme too!
I've never heard so many different versions of Happy Birthday 😅!
I am caught in a Nahre Sol RUclips rabbit hole and the deeper I get, the more excited I am! Her knowledge and creativity are beyond stunning! Every single video is a gem!
6:38 ok but why was that the most mysteriously beautiful thing I have ever heard-
I need to hear a full song of this wow that was amazing!
sounds like lord of the rings lol
Jonas Gritsch Yeah
I'm saving that chord progression for my own purposes
Sounds like something Beethoven would play
Piano teacher: You didn't practice much this week, did you?
Me: Well, um... Are you familiar with the concepts of "polytonality" and "melody manipulation"? It's really hard for me to articulate, but I feel like I may have this natural ability to transform the melody in unrecognizable ways. Unintentionally. Maybe I'm gifted?

LOL GOLD
XD that was me
If there's any RUclipsr in the classical-music-sphere who deserves this attention it's Nahre. Congrats!
We were so impressed with how effectively you explained your process, and the different levels of complexity. You're an excellent teacher!
"Whatever you do with music, it always has to have some sort of purpose other than just being an intellectual exercise - cuz otherwise whats the point?" The most important statement of this video. Great Job!
Rob Campos exactly! Many people failed to see this point
I do not agree, if you want to see this as an exercice, why not ?
uh, it was actually a juvenile statement !! ... because twinkle twinkle literally started as an intellectual exercise on melodic variation as well as many famous pieces..
@@superblondeDotOrg Reddit vibes
Nahre, the final composition you came up with is so lovely! I feel like I’ve learned so much in such a brief window of time, s/o to Nahre and Wired.
Thank u
Personally, I felt like it was *_far_* too "jazzy"
I'm more of a fan of classical music, which this kind of glossed over.
@@whyit487 I guess classical means so many things though, all of this could be applied to classical composition.
@@whyit487 nahre is a classical musician but she experiments when it comes to composition, but she played multiple liszt/chopin-esk sounding pieces throughout this video, you just didn't pay attention I think. :D
@@espressonoob Well, I'm talking about the last one.
*plays a piece so bad*
Me : It's just a new level of composition.

is that jazz
That's funny 😂
Next Level Joke🤣
That would be next level composition 😂
I’m like level 10. Uhh, ( embarrassing), byee!
I've come back to this video 3 years later. What a wonderful talent and brain. Thank you for your contribution to the world and art Nahre, we are all better for it.
How smart you must be to be focused on four different concepts that run simultaneously and yet execute all of them perfect.. It's like my computer doesn't have that much RAM.. Kudos
Lmao

You mean "Happy Death Day"?

It's people like Nahre Sol that make it extremely hard to call myself a musician
I've just resorted to calling myself a mediocre musician. I'm at peace with that when the Nahres of the world exist.
She wasn't born this good!
Lolz u spoke my mind
It’s 3:50 am, and I just watched a 10 minute video on levels of piano composition.. I don’t even play piano
chubby pikachu speaking straight facts
Omg same except its 3:40 am
Chubby Pikachu not even kidding, it's 3:33 am right now lol
@@thespeedyyoshi you live in vancouver?
Chubby Pikachu close. Oregon.
The fact that you are demonstrating this while talking so calmly...scary
Can manipulate space time with piano.
Can't drive.
There is always a tradeoff. Unless you're Hugh Laurie.
she's got 20+ years of piano training (still super impressive tho)
Danilo Pablo maybe she started real young.
If you think this is scary go have a look at her channel.
It will have something to do with audio and video editing.
Level 1: One finger.
Level 2: Two fingers.
There are 16 levels.
I'm afraid.
Level 11: starts using toes
16 fingers of course

Hihihihi
This was my favorite of the complexity series. I absolutely loved the way you explained the various aspects of music theory and how you used complexity to embellish the piece. Truly amazing.
That level 16 at the end made me check my playback speed!
Insane skills!
I don't get it
mokrodog1234 She is playing so fast that these viewers thought that the video was sped up, hence their desire to check the speed of the video that you can modify in settings.
This is a massive GCSE and A Level Music composition Cheat Sheet tbh
My country its GCE
bleh
please make composing theory 101, you are a great teacher who makes this sounds so interesting.
She has her own channel (called Nahre Sol), where she frequently breaks down the theory behind composition
THIS IS SO AMAZING! My favorite pianist on RUclips is on WIRED. What an honor.
I didn't understand this guy when he told me he was getting his PhD in music theory.. now I get it
Never underestimate the musicians 😭😭
haha! this wasn't even that heavy on theory which is the even more mindblowing part lol
Yeah, there's a reason why even rocket scientists are glad that they studied aerospace engineering instead. And no, it's not merely a meme. Music theory is legitimately difficult.
Incog2k6 wtf? music theory is great and very respectful subject. But it is nothing compared to rocket science in terms of complexity lol.
@@omniyambot9876 They are both very complex is very different ways. Can't really compare apples to oranges.
I love/hate how Nahre astonishes me with her playing yet makes it so simple when she's playing. I'm so glad I can speak English and follow her vids

3:43 is the prettiest rendition of happy birthday i've ever heard.
“How to play the Happy Birthday song without getting copyright claimed by Warner Chappell Music”
Lol
Top Rank AUDIOBOOKS PLUS 😂
Actually, the copyright for Happy Birthday is now null because of controversy regarding who owns the lyrics of the song.
You mean Universal Music Group
That's not hard since they don't have the copyright to it anymore and the judge who ruled that ordered them to pay back millions of dollars in claimed royalties.
Holy crap, I'm really proud of Nahre :00 her channel is way to underrated :,)
"By adding the finger 6"
Wait what, that's illega
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST COMMENT ON THE INTERNET!! I'M DYING!!
Emmanuel Abore no shut up
Oliver Wright let people enjoy things jeez
Natsai J.G no they were being sarcastic
this thread is amazing lmao, you have a guy who calls out a guy who was being sarcastic, that guy probably liked the comment, then another guy comes in and thinks that the sarcastic guy is not sarcastic and calls out the guy that told the sarcastic dude to shut up, then the guy that called out the sarcastic guy told the guy who called him out because he thought that they weren't sarcastic says that the sarcastic guy was being sarcastic, amazing lol
she explained everything so fluidly and quickly, but not once did i feel left behind or confused about what she meant. wow
gotta play the melody upside down so the australians can hear
Finally someone understands😂
What do you mean?

Kronos I get it know! 😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂
AHAHAHAHAH
I just bought a piano yesterday.
I saw this video today.
Tomorrow I'm going to list my piano on ebay.
hahaha this made me laugh! ... however, don't let this intimidate you.. you can get a lot of enjoyment out of playing without remotely reaching her level. I guess it would partly depend on what your goal is in playing the piano. If you're trying to attain her expertise then I'd be intimidated too but hey it's still possible. Idk why i wrote this message cuz I know you were kidding but just thought i'd mention this lol
Daniel B hey! Thank you for stopping by. I know I will never be as good as her and I don’t really “wants” to play with such complexity. After watching this video I feel like to express my defeat speech by writing funny comments just for the laugh. Honestly I’m a huge Bacharach and Carpenters fan. I’m dying to learn their arrangement (which just enough for me).
I know you're just joking, but neuroplasticity is a heck of a thing. Spend some time practicing, and spend some time watching and reading materials you're interested in. Eventually, your brain will probably make the necessary connections. The connections make themselves passively, but they're fed by meaningful activity. "Getting Better at Stuff" is the brain's favorite song, and practice is a dime in the jukebox. Time spent crappily playing something you want to play not-crappily is time well spent, and listening to your own crappy playing is just fuel for the trip. Everyone pays that toll.
Don’t do that. Play your new piano and enjoy it.
For how much?
i have played piano for maybe 11 years now, when you showed all the lvel up to 15, i was like.. ok i can still do this.
Then you combined all levels on 8:56. i died
SAME
Its not about levels. She just altered and elongated the song and then described it with complexity. Simple even i can pull that off. Its like people exaggerating. Ez
@@tahaqtr7439 Complexity did not mean difficulty here. It was a presentation of the "toolkit". A lot of difficult stuff is not even complex but simply very fast, etc.
Really?? I've only been playing for six and I'm pretty sure I could do that. I can play the flight of the bumblebee🤷🏼♂️
haha, well, i started playing long time ago, but i don't really practice everyday and definitely not in the pro level yet XD
I've been feeling pretty depressed lately but watching Nahre explain how she feels about music and composition made me feel really happy to see someone so passionate and in love with their art.
8:48 It's different than really cooking it with heart and with ..... Sol.
You cooked it up perfectly Nahre, sorry for the pun.
@@MattoDesigno boo this man!!

She admits it. You have to be magic to play like her.
“Let’s use happy birthday to keep it simple”
Me: yeah ok
Nahre's videos are amazing. She is such a great teacher, musician and video producer. I also love how open minded she is when it comes to music.
My favourite was the Liszt-inspired version at 4:03.
Haha same
See her vid ruclips.net/video/C-nUEpsiCKg/видео.html
Me: How many types of happy birthday can you play?
Nahre: Yes.
Beginning: let's keep it to a waltz
End: screw it 5 beats to a measure or no beats to a measure
There’s a waltz feel in 5 tho. If you count 1-2-3 4-5.
Tchaikovsky's Symphony 6, 2nd movement is a 5/4 waltz!
@@486tomas what an absolute madlad
I’ve been stuck on a song I made at 10yrs old. Built it up until I was 15 and couldn’t make it more complex after that. I am now 22 and haven’t created any new progress. This video made me realize not only am I stuck at the 6-7 stage.
Thank you for this video now I know where to improve
Nahre Sol DID NOT "ATTEMPT" to play "Happy Birthday" in 16 levels of complexity. She absolutely nailed it.
She is a genius and deserves more international recognition.
This is not genius. Every trained classical musicians know these techniques.
@@PassionPno still impressive. You don't really see a lot of 9:5 polyrhythms used by classical music
nathaniel r And that makes her a genius?
Stephanie K what makes she a genius is the fact that she teaches us all this stuff and make it look easy and also she has a lot of talent at composing.
Being a phenomenal teacher is a talent to compete with.
Well, it actually is my birthday! What a great gift.
Happy birthday !!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday 🍰
Happy bday!!
Incredibly concise and pretty amazing to understand where you are your musical learning journey. She's phenomenal and makes this wild complexity approachable. I love the intimacy she shows in what level 16 means. And somehow it's possible with a song I'm not deeply tired of 😂
