Okay, fails in the sense of goofs, I get it. But in each instance, the affected performer(s) recovered and finished the piece, a mark of professionalism. They are winners!
i just realized like is there a way to prevent this stuff? Like do u have to practice page turning? Or page turning really just part of orchestra stuff clasical?
he didnt switch to piano music, above piano accompaniment sheets there are solo instrument sheets too - for example images.app.goo.gl/fk27nSdqXZtkC2Lw9
Note to everyone saying that you need to memorize the music: in many cases you, as the accompanist, need to have the score & be following along so that in the event the soloist loses their spot or makes a mistake, you can help them to recover. Having the score is part of the job.
I used to wonder why organists are required to memorize pieces (typically for university recitals). I think it's because there's so much going on in an organ work that if you rely on reading it, you're not playing it up to the level you should be. Having it in your mind and muscle memory makes it more likely you can perform it the way it's meant to be performed. That's probably true for some other instruments as well.
Tito B. Yotoko Jr. // People paid $$$ to see 80+ years Horowitz play although he wasn’t technically perfect anymore. It’s about the quality of the interpretation, not a mechanical performance.
Foxtrot Felix in a recent competition one of the accompanists iPads froze hahaha and skipped 5 pages because the accompanist tapped many times after it froze rip
@@beanssouppppp5404 whoosh. she meant the page turners that stands behind the players, they are in charge of backing up the instrument players if anything goes wrong like turning the pages etc.
The bass in the second clip is literally me. We had a concert with our orchestra outside (playing tangos and stuff) and I was the only bass and - somehow all my clips and magnets didn't work, so during La Bamba, when I actually just wanted to turn the page, all my notes fell off the music stand and right into the orchestra. I could play it without notes of course, but it was so embarrassing to recieve my notes after the concert from, like, first or second violins who found them under their chairs, with an "Well, they somehow flew to me, I think they like me." and a grin. xD
It's called a carpet lmao. And to all the people saying you need to memorize. Accompanists don't have the duty of learning it. The soloist, yes. But most times the pianist doesn't have to learn it.
primordial silv Some orchestra pieces go on for 30 minutes. Imagine memorizing that much. Have you tried to memorize a piece that’s even 5 minutes long. It takes too much time.
As a young accompanist, I really appreciate this video. In the past, I have goofed up page turns and felt like the world had ended but seeing these people do it and how they recovered has taught me something
I'm actually incredibly impressed by how well all of them handled it. Considering the situation and how bad it could have gone, they all recovered quite smoothly!
Agreed!!! Hate it with a passion... I keep my music double paged in page protectors in a binder with easy to grab tabs of the edges and that's only if and only if I didn't memorize it before hand.... hate page turns😑
I once went to see my professor's piano concert. She messed up turning the page, panicked, threw the whole thing away and did it by heart. Felt a newfound kinship with her after that.
Actually pretty often we need the music as a "roadmap" the most. To keep track during those 100 bars of rest before your huge cymbal crashes or to know when to do them epic timpani rolls or snare solos. Mallet percussion (especially marimba) is not much different from piano, so sheet music is super necessary. Even if you get called for a drum set bar gig on short notice, you need to roughly chart out the songs because there's no way you could memorize a 3-hour set, unless it's all your absolute favorite music. (And yes, I get that you're jokin. I'm just being fun at parties) :D

absolutely pro! It's not always easy to recover after you mess up, even more so when it's in front of a live audience. Respect and props to all these guys! The show must go on!
My own page turn fail: I was accompanying the school choir at high school graduation, and the AC just kept blowing all my music off the piano. I was frequently trying to improvise with one hand while reaching behind me to snag my music. Nobody sitting nearby thought it necessary to help me in any way. It was a grand ol time it was.
OMG I have played the Poulenc Sextet (pianist) and I once had brain dead page turner ... Same place too too in the score LOL (luckily I had the music memorized and was justing using the score for cueing.
Shout-out to the pianist's page turner who became the violinist's page restorer, and to the pianist and the cellist at the end, for their wonderfully good humor in resuming after the pianist's page fell. Great video!!
My music never fell but my last performance in my University Symphony I turned to the last page where I had an eight measure solo and the page wasn’t there. It turned out it was in the practice room. I asked the flute player next to me to play it since she had it queued in her copy. Conductor noticed it wasn’t an oboe and I lost my seat. My teacher assignment me to community band for a semester. I was upset but my Jr. high Band Director was there. He moved me from Clarinet to Oboe. I loved that man. Turned out bit to be so bad.
PitSweatandTears that's one of my worst fears as a musician. People always keep getting me as a page turner but I can barely even sight read up to tempo. That has happened to me but thankfully the pianist was accompanying, not a concerto or something
omg yeah thank god it was accompaniment! i had a page turner once and they couldn't even count on their own so they had to rely on me nodding my head. safe to say i won't be getting another anytime soon.
Right here man's vibing in a whole video first he starts off as a pianist, then he decides to play bass too, then at #3 he gets a little older and hes at the far left, at #2 he goes back to piano, finally at #1 he's clearly decided piano was his passion and hes really good so boom his career in a video.
As a self-taught musician that never learned to sight read, I’m honestly impressed that they can even keep their place in the score while playing some of the more difficult and fast paced pieces. I assume some rote memorization is helpful, which is why when the sheet music falls over they can still keep playing from memory.
Think of it like reading words. you're not thinking about forming your mouth to each shape, or how each specific letter sounds. just kinda taking it in
@@Maria-Lind I wrote my original comment over two years ago. Since then I have begun to learn the piano, where the ability to read music is far more helpful than it is on my first instrument, the guitar. I can read it, but I’m like a 5 year old staring at the page learning to sound out words for the first time. It’s slow and painful. I’m sure it takes years of dedicated practice to become fluent.
I was always taught to tape all the pages together. They're less likely to fall off the music stand that way... Unless they all fall off together! lol. This is hysterical! I love all these wonderful musicians! The show must go on!
I hope to one day achieve the mental stability of the last two in this compilation. I once missed a page turn by .5 seconds and waited for a full four measures to join back in. I was playing viola in a quartet. us violas are so prone to clumsy mistakes.
I was very fortunate and privileged in my life to be a page turner for Diedre Irons, which was in the Great Hall in Christchurch New Zealand in the late 90s. It was an absolutely incredible experience especially considering the calibre of the musicians involved. It was the Brahms G Minor Quartet of which the violinist was Jan Tawroszewics, Cellist wss formally the head of the Bulshoi Ballet Dr. Sasha Ivashkin, and Rainer Moog Viola. Every artist was of the highest order. My teacher, Diedre Irons, studied under Rudolf Serkin, and would continue in his path.
People think classical musicians are too up tight. Really though, when silly things go wrong we just do what we can, and cover the rest with a little humor. These are funny, and so relatable.
I’ve been playing piano for 5 months and I had to become a page tuner for a professional for about an hour and I stg if that wasn’t about the most stressful thing I’ve ever done Edit: I’ve been playing French Horn for two years so I can read music and the music had a vocal line so I was following that but turns out I had no idea how to follow a vocal line
Okay so one time I was accompanying someone and all my music fell off and someone from the audience came and picked it up. (This was at college). BUT the clarinet player I was accompanying oddly did not have good peripheral vision, so she didn't see the guy picking up the music until he was literally standing right next to her and it scared her half to death! Not a good experience xD
This is only my personal opinion: I THINK that it is a must for every professional musician to memorize every musical piece that he/she is going to perform in a concert lest unfortunate mishaps may happen during the show, at least he/she would not be in such a dilemma. Unnecessary disturbance from the audience is annoying and some musicians can be easily distracted, otherwise they would not stop playing in the middle of the performance and as for some, they are so focused and absorbed with the music they are playing on and enjoyed in performing it that they could never even hear nor be bothered by such kind of distraction (ringtones).
I know pianists who play around the world as chamber musicians, for hundreds of instrumentalists each year, for competitions, concerts, etc. It is not possible for them to memorize everything they play in public. If you are playing a new concert program every few days....
My professor who taught me calculus at the university held the 90 minute class after looking at his lecture notes for only a few seconds at the beginning. He did the proofs of the theorems all by heart for five semesters. The same as all my other professors. We have surely been surprised if someone had needed to "peek". I think this should apply for professional musicians too.
I’m remembering when our(alright, but really not into it) teacher took us to an event that was meant to be for choirs, and the cellists sat on the edge of the staffs using the choir kids as music stands, and we propped out music up against the cellists’ backs... we were down to three violas at the time, and all our music blew over, I feel slightly bad for the kids who had to lean over to actually get the music, but you’d think that carol of the bells wouldn’t be too hard to memorize
It's interesting to see in these moments, memorized or not, where the player takes the piece when they can no longer see what is written. I believe every pause, hiccup, and mistake is a part of what makes a performance beautifully unique.
How about performers who suddenly laugh over inside jokes? I was in a chorale group and I would stop singing because I'm fighting my self from laughing over my mates.
A couple of years ago my orchestra was playing Holberg Suite and there's this one note in the 4th movement that I always missed in rehearsal (it wasn't hard, I was just constantly afflicted by the dumb). My stand partner started looking at me when the section was coming up, not judging, just a bemused, "Are you gonna get it this time?" Well, I finally did get it consistently, but for the rest of rehearsals and the concerts (all 12 of them), she'd still give me that look. Inside jokes are fun.
Yes, yes, yes....I've been there too! But let me just say this, you are redeedemed when you can recover. This is why I always share with my students how important it is to have skill. Technique allows you to elaborate and improv when all else fails. But most importantly, it redeems you!
I saw the conductor Dennis Russel Davies perform a Philip Glass piano concerto, and he turned the page too swiftly, and the pages lunged into the air, and the. He grabbed them with one hand, put them back in the right order and kept playing, without skipping a single note in the concerto. It almost made the performance more impressive.
Charro Toad 1-What is bothering you in my username? What part ? Tunisian ? Aficionado?.. 2-How did you gain the right to speak for all the people who can read my username? 3-By the way you reacted to my username I can tell that you probably know nothing but the propaganda you been fed 24/7. So I invite you to learn about hezbollah.. I know it is not easy for you to get off the US/Israeli propaganda.. but if you succeed you will be less offendable by as few as a username and over all a better Human Being
Tunisian Hezbollah Aficionado The information to which I was referring was the fetishism you mentioned in your comment. If being a “better human being” means I actively spread disgusting information in places where it is not appropriate, then count me out. Also, if you must know, I’m a pacifist, and disapprove of the actions of the United States, Israel, and the Hezbollah.
@Boe Man, there is less chance that you launch a whole binder. Even if you would; If one page flies you have to stop, and if you launch the whole binder you have to stop. So putting it in a binder is better.
I play piano and I always prefere to memorize the piece when it's possible, also because of that, but mainly because I play better without partiture, I get myself free to feel the song and interpret it better.

Except for the percussionist who took a moment for him to realise his part doesn't really need sheet music
Except for the page turner who had one job
Agree completely, it's why I wanted my boy (a pianist, prone to perf anxiety) to see this.
i just realized like is there a way to prevent this stuff? Like do u have to practice page turning? Or page turning really just part of orchestra stuff clasical?
@@alwaysgabriel Yes, people practice the moment they should turn the page, but sometimes mistakes happen.
Not as bad as when I knocked over my music stand and it had a domino effect on the others.
OMG !
Oh no! Please tell me it was at rehearsal!
Wow
Kaleid Stone ikr
So true. In my orchestra that I once ago join happen the domino effect music stands crawling and crying for help too 😲
The one guy who switched to the piano music when his fell did really well 😂
Uh-huh . It looked staged and not a mistake .
he didnt switch to piano music, above piano accompaniment sheets there are solo instrument sheets too - for example images.app.goo.gl/fk27nSdqXZtkC2Lw9

concealed in shrub lol guess nothing beats memorizing the piece then

I usually play from a tablet and once my page turner managed to close the program... luckily he fixed it before I couldn’t remember anymore.

I’m remembering when our(alright, but really not into it) teacher took us to an event that was meant to be for choirs, and the cellists sat on the edge of the staffs using the choir kids as music stands, and we propped out music up against the cellists’ backs... we were down to three violas at the time, and all our music blew over, I feel slightly bad for the kids who had to lean over to actually get the music, but you’d think that carol of the bells wouldn’t be too hard to memorize
Que artista el último como se nota donde está la maestría y hacerte un fallo algo bonito
It's interesting to see in these moments, memorized or not, where the player takes the piece when they can no longer see what is written. I believe every pause, hiccup, and mistake is a part of what makes a performance beautifully unique.
What's the second song, the one that the video uploader didn't write the name for?
It is the Carmen Fantasy, as some one else has said -- one or another arrangement of it..
Great Art. I Love It. Its showing us WE ARE HUMANS with ❤️.
what’s the name of the 4th music?
As an accompanist I know exactly how this feels and also how common it is. It's really part of the job. You really learn how to use a notebook!
You literally had one job👏
2:28 the way he smile just made my day lol
How about performers who suddenly laugh over inside jokes?
I was in a chorale group and I would stop singing because I'm fighting my self from laughing over my mates.
A couple of years ago my orchestra was playing Holberg Suite and there's this one note in the 4th movement that I always missed in rehearsal (it wasn't hard, I was just constantly afflicted by the dumb). My stand partner started looking at me when the section was coming up, not judging, just a bemused, "Are you gonna get it this time?" Well, I finally did get it consistently, but for the rest of rehearsals and the concerts (all 12 of them), she'd still give me that look. Inside jokes are fun.
@@nfullenwider 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol that last guy and his partner are both hilarious and lovely
#2 was seamless
Yes, yes, yes....I've been there too! But let me just say this, you are redeedemed when you can recover. This is why I always share with my students how important it is to have skill. Technique allows you to elaborate and improv when all else fails. But most importantly, it redeems you!
The last couple was really cute whe they smiled
The last one was actually so adorable :)
2:10 kids, that is why you don't turn on the inside of the page.
The pianist in the last one is my accompanist, he’s a great guy to work with :)
2:07 i laughed so hard
I saw the conductor Dennis Russel Davies perform a Philip Glass piano concerto, and he turned the page too swiftly, and the pages lunged into the air, and the. He grabbed them with one hand, put them back in the right order and kept playing, without skipping a single note in the concerto. It almost made the performance more impressive.

2019: *Wanna see pianists mess up their page turns?*
This is not a fail..this is..The show must go on!!😁
I still remember what the Wind did to me.....
Too many beans ?

1.What is with your username
2.Why did you share this information that no one wanted nor needed to know
Charro Toad
1-What is bothering you in my username? What part ? Tunisian ? Aficionado?..
2-How did you gain the right to speak for all the people who can read my username?
3-By the way you reacted to my username I can tell that you probably know nothing but the propaganda you been fed 24/7. So I invite you to learn about hezbollah.. I know it is not easy for you to get off the US/Israeli propaganda.. but if you succeed you will be less offendable by as few as a username and over all a better Human Being
Tunisian Hezbollah Aficionado
The information to which I was referring was the fetishism you mentioned in your comment. If being a “better human being” means I actively spread disgusting information in places where it is not appropriate, then count me out. Also, if you must know, I’m a pacifist, and disapprove of the actions of the United States, Israel, and the Hezbollah.
What the hell was wrong with the guy in the #1. He totally yeeted the paper out of the concert hall 😂😂😂
No. 5 is so cute :xxx
I love how #2 just went straight near the piano guy so not to stop playing
Why not used a binder? And heavier grade paper? Problem solved.
Binder? Lol. See the last one.
Problem worse.
If one page flies, the entire accompanient flies with it.
@Boe Man, there is less chance that you launch a whole binder. Even if you would; If one page flies you have to stop, and if you launch the whole binder you have to stop. So putting it in a binder is better.
I play piano and I always prefere to memorize the piece when it's possible, also because of that, but mainly because I play better without partiture, I get myself free to feel the song and interpret it better.
