After watching this I am truly depressed that I didn't allow my grandmother who was a classical pianist to teach me how to play the piano. She gave piano lessons to many kids and adults in Los Angeles/Compton area from her homemade piano music room built into her garage for decades and even taught Lonnie Jordan the founder of the band War (as a kid) how to play. Now that I am older and appreciate the pure beauty of music especially the piano it pains me that I did not accept the greatest gift my grandmother tried to give me.
Watching it's premiere when I was 9 years old was almost a magical experience. My sister took me to see it, getting me out of the house and away from my abusive parents for a little while. I still cry to this day when I hear the song and I'm an old man now. The song made me smile and most of all it gave me hope. That hope was all that got me to adulthood alive. I sung this song to all of my children and my grandchildren as well whenever they were sad. I even learned how to play the piano just because of this song. It's become sort of a family tradition where we'll all watch this movie after Thanksgiving dinner and I perform the song to cheers and tears as well. Thank you to Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for giving me hope all those years ago! Thank you Gene Wilder for your performance!
Hey I was maybe five years old, and we went to go see it at the drive-in! I remember the afternooon sun seemed to stand still and the clock slowed down as we waited for dusk to fall. Then we watched a wonderful movie, in our car! Temple, TX it was a small(er) town then :)
@@jaybain4337 Those were the days, weren't they? Drive in movies in the fall. That's when you put a blanket on your warm hood, stick a pillow under your head, then enjoy some really greasy popcorn (SO GOOD), and a great movie!
It absolutely is magic. I'm not old enough to have seen the movie in theaters, but it has a similar place in my heart. This song always brings happy tears. 💕
What’s so amazing about this song is that it perfectly captures the feel of the factory, full of awe and child like wonder with this twinge of danger. Those opening notes on their own sound like the beginning of a horror movie or at least a tense thriller.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CONTINUE PLAYING! This IS the most luxurious version of Pure Imagination I've ever heard!! It would be great to hear the entire Willy Wonka musical score re-imagined & performed by Mark Klett!!!

Best synesthia of this piece I’ve ever seen. Best rendition of this piece I’ve ever heard. This is truly the definition of pure imagination. Keep up the good work :)
Wow, thank you so much Noah, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm sorry I don't have sheet music for it but I will be producing sheet music for future piano videos.
Totally agree. There seem to be tons of different arrangements of this lovely piece, but wow....don't know who arranged this one, but extremely classy, especially the tag which got to me bad, the first time I heard it. It's all not as difficult as it may seem, and shockingly...I almost have it down!! Thanks so much for posting this. Can't wait to play this for some folks. I'll be king for a day.
I may have a problem…. This made me sob thinking about my family. I feel that you perfect encapsulated what the original was and you were able to take me back. I’m not trying to take away how beautiful you played. Thank you very much. 😢❤
I'm glad that it moved you so! Music is strangely powerful and I hope that in some way, it brought you closer to your family if only for a short while:)
I watched several covers of this beautiful masterpiece of movie music history. This really grasps the feeling of the music. Its not over the top but simple and hits all of the unique traits about this piece. They could take a single chord and make it move ways to progress the song then just bring you into something new, but never really more tham a half step away from the original key.
I never imagined i’d be able to play this specific arrangement of this song after playing for 4 months of learning piano. I hope to play liebestraum no.3 in the future. As soon as i heard this arrangement i bought the sheet straight away😂
This interpretation is so beautiful. I'm so going to arrange a version for myself to play. This is strange I'm a classical purist but you have made me succumb to beautiful jazz ❤❤
You can learn from this? Don’t get me wrong, this is a very beautiful version and Ive listed to it many times, but I don’t think this is a good one to try to learn from, its way too complicated. Im pretty familiar with playing the piano - I can play an easier version of this song but this one here is SO complicated by comparison; not a beginners version by any means imo
@@jkaryn I learned some of it from this, but I haven't played it in years. Looking at it now, it does look a bit complicated for me. Thanks for bringing me back to this video, perfect song for an LSD trip.
Don't use this sheet music... for some reason he changed the key! This piece MUST be played in the original key! Anybody who changes the key of this piece of music should be banned from ever playing music again in their life!

What’s the technical term for when the chords are played one note quickly after the other at the start and then sustained please? It uses it a lot in this! Lovely playing!
Pure imagination ready player one 2015 remix, maybe, it could be better in the future. It is just a humble idea. You are great musician, congratulations
The only thing I really want to know is was the music written before or after the words were written, or did they both more or less come out of the air at the same time?
I've learned about 40 seconds so far and my strong point is definitely not theory because I have no idea how these chords are constructed and where they come from lol. They sound great tho!
This song just reminds me how things can still be beautiful in a harsh, cruel, and dirty world
Better times will come at last
There's beauty all around us. Sometimes we feel so much despair that it's easy to forget.
Would this be a good wedding song? What you think?
@@babynieve9612 as like a slow dance type song I'd say yes
Well said.

Why does this song on piano sound so much like something out of a Studio Ghibli movie?
Beautiful 👌
This song is what I believed my Dad experienced when passing away and entering paradise in heaven.
This does not get the appreciation it deserves
That chord at 0:18 fills my soul something about it 😍
These chords are stunning.
They are jazz chords. Always great 😃👍
Come with me and you'll be

By far, the absolute best arrangement and performance of this wonderful piece of music!!! Thank you for sharing your talent and masterful playing!!!
Right?! This is gosh damn amazing 🎉
This was so utterly beautiful.
Right? Just mesmerising
Listening Gene sings this or listening to this song at all take all your stress away.
Just started learning this version on piano. It’s surprisingly intuitive if you know the song well. Fun to play and such a beautiful peace.
What a treat! You make it appear so smooth and effortless.
Thank you so much Doug, I'm happy to hear you say that!
When this plays, I can close my eyes and the rain and bad days are outside, and I'm sitting inside in a blanket with hot cocoa.
There is magic out there….
the different rhythms and melodies playing on each hand is absolutely amazing
It always sounds like God is singing this to us. Love this song

Great analysis! I noticed that too. It's why I like this arrangement....seems to go Gershwin for a couple seconds....lol then right back. Awesome.
I LOVE this song! Very nice arrangement and performance! Thanks for posting.
Great arrangement of arguably the best Newley/Bricusse song they ever wrote.
So much nostalgia. I met my favorite person while this song was playing in theater
Mark, this is the best arrangement I have ever heard of one of the most beautiful songs ever. You should be proud. Thank you for sharing :)
Simply beautiful. Though different, i also like Bob James version of this song which employs smooth jazz.
This deserves millions of views
I never imagined i’d be able to play this specific arrangement of this song after playing for 4 months of learning piano. I hope to play liebestraum no.3 in the future. As soon as i heard this arrangement i bought the sheet straight away😂
Wow that was greatest piano version i ever heard . Thanks for playing that song.
First 3 notes are mysterious, and ominous like JAWS!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ✝️ 2023A.D.!!!!!

Is this a place to tell abt when you watched the movie, anyways, imma need sheet music for this
Are you using the middle pedal or right pedal for the song?
You are asking archimedes if he used a left or right handed ruler
