Pianists Casually Explained

New Discord Infinity Link (old one kept expiring): discord.gg/6rYtcQN9J9

I feel like most pianists would break up with you for uttering the words “piano song”.

Bro has a beef with computer scientist

"Life is like a piano. White keys are like the happy moments, and black keys are like the sad moments. Both keys are played together to give us the sweet music called life". My life being played in C# major 💀

the fact that i play piano and want to pursue comp sci- i feel called out lmao

The end about music industry is the most real thing guitarists will literally go to every possible gig no matter the genre or difficulty and still be short on rent

"budget twoset violin" HAHHAHA was so funny for no reason

This is the reason why I'm gonna start tuning pianos too (Definitely not because I want to play Some-rich-doctor-who-probably-doesn't-even-know-how-to-play-piano's $100,000 nine-foot Steinway for free)

This is SOOO underrated. Funny af

3:09 "to make the music sound more connected to replace the connection they lost with their families" nahh thats wild💀

And if you're facing difficulty in earning anything from your performances, likely not much more than a teenager at a gas station (which you will, guaranteed), you can just start teaching some impressionable kids the pianoforte and possibly brainwash them into wanting to become the second coming of Liszt. The cycle continues.

You practically both made and ruined my day in the span of 7 minutes

3:10 hit hard bro…it hit so hard

Lift that pedal bro😼👊🏻

I think this video went over a lot of ppl heads. This doesn’t just go over piano players but also most classical instrumentalist and musicians in general. Especially bc classical performers ticket sales have gone down 30 % in the last 4 years. ( but no one talks about that) being a profitable professional musician is intense, very repetitive, and a very hard lifestyle that truly doesn’t fit everyone. And I like how you pointed out that truly you’re either a superstar or your a average teacher who Is working on a masters degree in hopes to make your local symphony, living pay check to pay check. People really need to have set plan realistic goals and focus on networking and making connections and having a safety net before even considering putting there all and I mean every bit ( bc to be top tier you literally have to be only focused on music ) into professional music career-in my opinion ( ik not everyone will agree but as a musician that’s just how I see it)

The sheet music at 0:27 is Chopin Ballade no 4 in F Minor

"Posture" and there's Keith Jarrett basically humping the piano while playing (he even moans)

You wrongly explained the middle pedal. It's called sostenuto, yes, but it has a different function on a grand piano. On an upright it does dampen the sound for your grandpa at midnight, but on a grand piano it will sustain the specifically pressed down keys but not the others, therefor you can play e.g. staccato with both hands on a sustained chord.

I like that the background music is the music that plays when you fall in the game “Getting Over It: By Bennett Foddy”. It feels very fitting

4:12 "...but half the time they look like they're taking a giant shit" I couldn't hold the laughter in anymore
