I've seen a lot people with the cool visuals above the piano... is that like an app on the PC? or does some just make it in adobe?
MusicalBasics can I get a piano sheet for the modified 3rd movement plz email: trollfer89@gmail.com much appreciated
I was expecting level 6: Mainac)
So lit
Beethoven: *writes 2nd movement of Moonlight Sonata*
Every pianist ever: "I'm gonna pretend like I didn't see that."
True
It’s really unfortunate because it’s a very pretty movement
LOL BUT 2ND MOVEMENT IS GOOD
2nd movement : Why do they hate me ?
I’m not a pianist, just saying..
BUT there’s a second movement why didn’t anyone tell me this before!
Replace “level” with “day” and you got yourself a simply piano ad
Damn that’s deep
In just 5 days, you too can play just like Beethoven did years ago!
LMAO
Ooh... burn!!
And True!!
That is so true
I used to be a fan but after watching this masterpiece I’m a whole air conditioner now
YO he liked my comment
Good one mate!
Im not even that. Im a whole wind tunnel after watching this video.
@@simontay4851 excellent
@@mansaagony366 im a the whole mt everest after watching this video
Let’s just take a moment to be appreciative of the pianist who probably took months trying to compose and learn this piece for us🎵
True
@@thagomizer8485 Yes the original version was composed by Beethoven but I meant the harder versions 😁
@@sss-we8ij beethoven said he hates you.
@@marvinzimmerman1878 Haha 😁 sry Beethoven I didn’t mean to offend you 😮
Are you blink?
Me: Looks at my piano...
My piano: Don’t even think about it
same
My piano is next to me
lmao
you have a piano?
Eat
You forgot level 6: Knows how to play the 2nd movement
You meant : "Knows how the 2nd movement actually sounds :"
Man it's not hard to play
The hard part is to find someone who actually wrote the sheet :)
Lvl 6. Doesn't ruin good classical music by not knowing how it actually sounds and adding bs so called epic moves to make it more epic and calling it epic.
Istg the 2nd movement is the easiest
@@exol.multistan8637 no the first is, second is second hardest and third is hardest
Second movement: Now you know the struggles of being the middle child.
I love about 95% of the stuff you do, but I had a hard time with this one. Moonlight is one of only a few songs that carries with it so much gravitas that remixing or rearranging it takes away rather than adds to how epic the song is. I realize that this is a highly personal take.
Also, keep doing what you're doing, my dude. Love your work.
I think that no matter how "noob" you are, what matters is how much sentiment and emotion you play with. it can turn any piece, even the simplest, into the most beautiful
Agree - this video was cringe and self-praising whilst also putting others down - “I’m amazing according to myself..., if you play like this then you’re a no0b”
agree because it makes me feel so low being an amateur. It takes a lot though to learn a piece it isnt that easy, you just need to give it your all
I play the piano, although my piano is only 66 keys, i can play moonlight sonata 1st mov but with only one note on the left hand but I can play moonlight sonata 1st mov 2 notes in the left hand if i only have a bigger piano. I’m already practicing Fantasie Impromptu, still cant do 2 notes in the left hand in Moonlight sonata 1st mov. And yes, the person above me is right, it aint that easy, although its kinda true that its not that hard, it was still hard memorizing the notes you remember in MS mv 1, it aint easy, its also 6min, i cant blame you.
To pretty much all of these replies, the video comment says it’s just for fun, calm down
yes
Lol imagine existing
this post was made by the 2nd movement
It's purpose is to create a bridge for the 1st and 3rd. It's stated in the original piece.

I actually laughed
Lmfao right now lol
I wouldn’t necessarily say that the added modifications is necessary because it kind of ruins the whole vibe of the song
Yeah, complexity=/ good when it comes to music
yessir
The first movement played right has this haunting waltz-like melody to it that you can sway to. I personally prefer the first movement played a touch slower than people tend to play -- it gives it that gentle, flowing feeling to the piece. The modifications sounded harsh and disjointed -- they didn't flow like the original score.
The third movement is supposed to be this frenetic storm (hence the title "The Tempest"). The speed and energy was there, but the modifications made it feel disconnected and dissonant in places. While it should sound like a whirling, chaotic storm, it should also sound as if the storm has a natural continuous motion instead of abrupt changes midway through one of the surges.
That’s the point
That’s the point. He’s making satire content towards people who don’t know anything about music and actually think faster and more notes = better.
That one kid after 2 days of simply piano : 3:05
Idk but your name kinda offensive

If that's mediocre, my skill level is equal to donkey stool.
Nina Vann its all relative, cause for elitistic pricks anything below their “master” level is mediocre.
Same 🤣
I honestly i was out here making progress bc I could do arpeggios and now I feel attacked
Nina Vann Imagine what it’s like to be below a beginner (...like me)😂
I can play top hand on expert 😃
Level 6: Suddenly transitioning into Still D.R.E.
lmao XD
Seth Everman style :D
Imagine there was a level six and it just said Asian
Level 5 is just... wrong. 2nd movement reduced too a three second bridge. And throwing notes in there LvB didn't write, it's a pastiche. Not Epic.
As a mathematician i can say it's the far side of the parabola and your "level six" is further away from the heavens and closer still to the mud
Grows extra limbs
i legit thought it was gonna turn into Torrent Etude at 3:05, those four notes got me. Would've been sick though
I THOUGHT THE SAME AHAHHAHAH
Samee hahahah🤣🤣
Lol same
I HEARD IT TOO! I am practicing that Etude and I thought that he was going into it!
This is one of my favorites ever. I listened to this as loud as my headphones would go on the pier at Santa Monica under a full moon on the ferris wheel and it was amazing. A night I'll never forget. It's not always the music that people turn to but it can make a memory that last forever.

That transition to the 3rd movement was fantastic. Bravo!

I can’t even play the wrong notes that fast
At least paraphrase if you’re gonna steal
Might be the most unoriginal comment on youtube
Jeffrey Huo neither can i
I’ve seen this everywhere stop stealing for likes
Well i can
My man.... you're playing is beautiful. Really makes me regret not taking piano lessons seriously as a child.
dont give up bro. its never too late. please dont give up :)
the transition is terrific
and the mvt 3 is insane!

Ben K. Damn right lol
Or, perhaps, "I'm better than Beethoven."
Dude he made so many mistakes
Look at 1:28
Ken Mcgregor I just thought the guy was trying really hard to show off.
Now play it as part of the Ling Ling workout.
"I bought all the piano, i have to use all the piano"
There isnt much in life that impress me as much as great piano artist.
What a beautiful display of talent and hard work congrats !
I just recognized that in every video with "levels" at the highest one he is basically just flexing
Edit: I don't mean that he doesn't "deserve" it or sth., I just noticed
I mean to be fair I think almost anybody would describe that as expert level. Also he has dedicated his life to piano I’m pretty sure he would know how to play it extremely well.
@@somethingsomething8022 he's just flexing at this point and tbh it ruins the piece
@@jf23839js no shit. 2:58 "modification to increase intensity". I liked his other stuff. But i personally dont like his "small modification" in the level 5 part
Well if you can play better than him we will accept your argument
@@somethingsomething8022 I would describe that as expertly ruining the piece to show off
The modified movement sounds really nice, but the actual one sounds so much more sombre as a result of its destitute, isolated feeling encapsulated by playing barely any notes.
Really good video, keep it up!
It's like Stuart getting up at a funeral and saying "Look what I can do!"
Dennis Tsishkevich I feel like the modified one is definitely harder and showcases the pianist’s skill better, but it loses some of the emotion communicated in the original
I can tell how much work you put into your videos, please keep it up
I find it unfathomable that some can play piano so beautifully. How is this even possible? Absolutely mezmerizing!
I hope that piano is at least 18 years old...
Huh?
His fingers is way to fast
Lmao
Why?
Loll
0:12: what they teach us in math class

Hhaha correct
@@Crashandburn999 then surely your in 5th grade or in high school.
That's pretty much the same as my chemistry class. It's like the teacher forgot our lessons and just randomly made questions out of the topics in the next semester. I want to rip it so much
At some point I tuned out the sounds and just focused on this man’s flying hands.
3rd movement is just a storm of melody, like a Greek masterpiece...you just react to.
Mediocre: plays at 50% tempo
Me: if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly

nice
just skip the 2nd Movement
seeing people with such great talent inspires me to be better
2 years since you posted this and I am just now seeing this, you sir just made a subscriber out of me, very cool
Me: I want to learn how to play piano.
Level 5 exist:
Me: guitar looks cool.
@Gary nah bro i was joking, i love playing drums
piano is much easier than guitar and that's from a guitar player who switch to piano.... get yourself a flute.
@@Funnyvalentinne hard cope
switched from piano to guitar
shits way easier
@@Funnyvalentinne its literally common sense if your actually trying to get good at both instruments then its not even comparable
piano is wayyyyyyyyyy harder

This makes me want to run a marathon because of how EPIC it is.
Simply magnificent. The transition was truly Epic. Kudos!

Love your videos. Beautiful music and mesmorizing visuals. 🤯🤘🔝
When I heard about this song, its name and its beginning for the first time, I thought it was a calm, relaxing piece. Boy was I wrong...
I think, Beethoven thought the same "Can't sleep, I write something chilling and... LET'S WAKE EVERYBODY!"
If you listen carefully you can hear Beethoven turning in his grave.
Nah. This is for learning.
why would he, this is just him playing it
Treehopper60 Christ mate, it’s just a niche little video. It’s not some serious performance of Beethoven repertoire.
Lee Shepherd 😂😂😂 thanks man this is awful
@Treehopper60 well said 👍 I totally agree 👍
I wish my pupils would stop watching these vids 😂
3:19
Just a personal time stamp because I can’t get over how beautiful that part is,
What?! I have no words for the epicness of the epic version. And no, “expert” doesn’t do it justice. Definitely EPIC.
It’s crazy when you can play so fast and fluid that some of the long notes sound like a cello
2nd movement: am I a joke to you?
Giuseppe Agresta IKR I love it so much but no one plays it
Well, yes actually. Second movement you are a joke to me.
it's almost as if it doesn't exist ;_;
Level 5 "I have amazing skills, but I can't understand the music feeling"
bcs there is no feeling
Beethoven- Am I joke to you
like save the improve for jazz or something
Hate crew
I literally felt the level 5 a lot more than the original piece. It's just a matter of taste I guess
your actually crazy wid it I just cant get bored with your vids its impossible
Its as if the different styles of music can take you different places without ever leaving. Great job.
Noob: easiest level.
Me: surely there must be a easier way..
relatable
Same
That is easy
Too bad nice songs must always be so difficult...
MusicalBasics: Small amounts of rubato to add to the feeling of somberness.
Me: Ah. Yes. Of course. Rubenmato. The subtle art of Rubenmatoing your piece for maximum rubenmatonessessess.
MusicalBasics: Setup for transition to third movement.
Me: Ah. How could I have forgotten? You must move in the third dimension whilst skipping the second in order to maximize your transitionified transition while balancing the rubenmattenmonessnessnessnessnessing from before.
MusicalBasics: Release of pedal abruptly shifts the atmosphere
Me: Ah. Yes. Just like the bicycle. When your release the pedal the atomenespherium shifts from an atenespherium with a pedal to an atmospherium without it. And now since we are in the third dimension, the pedal has extra effect. You see MusicalBacics, you yet again forgot to add the rubenmatteonessness to your already rubenmattedified rubenmato machine. This, in turn, maximizes your rubenmattenonessoringnessnessnessnessing.
Also me: Which one is C again?
Edit: This comment had gone beyond it's designated lifespan, obviously. I am going to test a theory that if I edit the comment, then reply to a couple of people, it will get a couple more likes. I will give you the results of this test if it is successful lol.
Too much distortion at the third movement sounds crap.
Underappreciated comment.

You can also call level 5 “adding wankery”
This 100%
Level 5. I’m really good and I’m gonna show you how good I am by changing a ton of stuff
Yeah, it was actually horrible
Turning the sonata into a cadenza
Yes, and sounds very bad
Love this piece.
love seeing the notes go up in smoke
whats the level where you can actually play the whole piece correctly, a full tempo, and not modified?
Level 4.5
@@souhridyobose4362 Yeah, I felt triggered when he changed it. But then I apreciated it like it was. A modified version of it. There are plenty who can play it correctly, after moving my ego aside. I actually liked to hear a modified piece.
Anyway, I asume if he can play it like this, for sure can play it properly.
Cheers
it's at level 9 and 3/4.
Yeah, adding all those extra notes in there changed the piece, especially the 3rd movement. There are just some pieces of music you don't fuck with and the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata is one of them. It's already perfect and a masterpiece on it's own.

Lmaooooo :’D
That's so relatable that it actually pains me physically. XD
Jesus, the epic version is extremely well done, chapeau!
and the end is like "mic drop"
respect!
I think that nobody can imagine how hard is to play this song, just if you're a pianist you will understand how hard is to play this song..you need weeks and hours per day to achieve that experience.
Gamerul HD there are lyrics?
@@emmajohnson7105 nope
This isn't a song, this is music, and that's true that Sonata op 27 n. 2, or just n 14 is a hard piece. I played the first movement when I was 11, and I understood the whole music, even l was just a child. The first movement must be played in Adagio sostenuto, not in Prestissimo, but 3 movement must be played faster.
emma johnson No, there's no lyrics. That's what makes it so difficult to sing.
I remember learning the 1st movement at a younger age, and I'm trying to learn the 3rd movement right now. It's brual and TONS of effort, but worth all the time put into it.
I felt the added parts for "intensity" didnt flow well with the peice. Amazing talent tho!
Aaron Schow to me tho I wasn’t looking for Beethoven I was looking for uniqueness. In that matter I think he did it very well edit:the original is just as good tho
Agreed, clearly talented, but the transition in particular was hackneyed i thought. And bruh chopin is unreal too. ain't no shame in chopin's game
@@nicholasdupont9097 I have to agree on your part, however, I do feel with Musical Basic's '5th Level' pieces he is truly writing his own piece, rather than it being a solid Beethoven piece. I most often think of it as an arrangement than a more epic Beethoven piece.
But of course, the added epicness didn't nessicerily sound the best.
The guys dead who u trying to tell that to?😭
@@Leechdestroyer you meant lizst for sure
Im speechless.... Masterpiece !
The "level 5 part" is beyond amazing.
When teacher says "time is up"
Me: level 5
LOL YES
Hell yeah=)
During class: Can't find middle C
This just makes me question even more how a deaf guy could write this
Well at this point in Beethoven’s career, he was losing his hearing, which meant he could hear, but it was hard to do so. This explains the loud, powering and intense characteristic of this piece.
auditory memory
Friedchickenboi9 naw bro he was deaf deaf when writing this he just memorized the notes and keys
@@nicolasa4life maybe
Quote: "It's all about the math." I am not a musician, I can only try to appreciate music that touches me. I either feel something when I hear music, or I don't. Beethoven has always made me feel something, often deeply, emotionally. Math, more intellectually gifted voices than mine see the math in music. I see, and more importantly to me, feel the passion. Beethoven, to me, composed with passion throughout his career. More so after losing his hearing. Imagine losing one of the senses. That would make me express that gift with richer passion.
My favorite!! Never past level one on this one.
Beautifully played!!
Beethoven: writes second movement, accidentally knocks it into his campfire.
Also Beethoven: “I’m gonna pretend I didn’t write that
No One:
*Second movement* :
No one Pays Attention to me
This is a wonderful representation of what it’s like to be the younger sibling.

Me:*tries to play the piano*
Master Shifu:*There is now a level 0*
Moonlight sonata is a true masterpiece, so well-written that even the lowest level of skill can make it sound good.
While I would like to agree with you, I can't really because when I try to play the 3rd movement at low tempo it sounds like complete trash.
This is easily my favorite RUclips channel
Honestly I felt like going down an octave on every 3rd note on the left hand for movement 1 didn’t really capture the emotion that’s supposed to be there, it felt more like it was being done to show off skill and less actually adding to the song, still great job though
