She perfectly nailed the intro to greensleeves with her head at 0:30. Such talent.
This is the best comment to any piano video ever.
Hahahaha! Omg, laughing so hard right now! hahaha!
Luis Otero yes that's what I thought :)
omg im dead hahahahaha
I accidentally played the intro to the g note song I forget the name I was upside down trying to play
"I skipped a section" and the last part describes my career as a pianist incredibly well.
I skip section every day, do this for exam lol
I can't describe how glad I am that this is the way how recording sessions go for other fellow youtube pianists as well. At times I seriously tend to punch myself right in the face for mistakes that happen over and over again ;) Or even worse - beat up the piano keys for being rude just like you do ;) Now my keys have become somewhat clanky and the call for the piano service technician is just a stone's throw away...
Oh, it's so very good to know I'm not alone on this. I'm not a youtuber, but I do play piano, so I know what you mean, haha.
Happens to me too. Probably why I don't record my playing very often! I can nail it when I do a dry run before recording. Turn the camera on and suddenly I can't play (or remember) the music!
Glad to see I'm not the only one
It's the worst feeling ever when you play a song perfectly but then fuck up on the very last chord.
Jacob for the people who don't know what a chord is, a chord is 2 or more notes played at the same time
e.g , a chord can be C, E and G
Everyone knows what a chord is lmao
at one point they didnt tho. they had to learn it somewhere
Ok fair enough but if people are watching videos of a genre that was specifically made for piano, then I would like to assume that they know what a chord is. But maybe some don't, my apologies.
nah im not trying to fight i thought you meant it as a playful joke :P so no worries there
For instance I dont play the piano but i thought her playing sounded nice so here i am. Found a video on facebook actually and i had to find the source to give the creators their deserved views :)
Can you upload the sheet music that you used in the entire video? :)
Especially the part where you applied your face to the white and black keys at the same time. The combination of notes was outstanding.
😂😂😂
+Kristen Mosca __ Yup! That's using your head!!
Auios I think she played it by ear...
Luis Jiménez oh silly me.
Auios hahahaha
LOL, this is great! Not so great while it's happening though, haha. My record so far is 67 failed attempts at a song before getting it good enough to upload. And those times when I've messed it up on the ending arpeggio... hnnnggggg.
+Kaleb Brasee literally the WORST feeling on earth. 😂
i love this. most people doubt themselves because all they ever see is someones highlights...this can serve as an inspiration that even amazing piano players/artists/anything have bad moments as well. still love your videos. just found you the other day. thanks. have a day.
As a viewer, it's eye-opening to see that it doesn't just always flow perfectly off of your fingers and onto the recording every time. Because that's how it seems when all I see is the finished, perfect recording. Though I wonder what happens in live performance venues. I've never been to a concert where the conductor suddenly shouted, "Arrrgh! We forgot a section!"
I absolutely understand those moments! Like on Maple Leaf Rag when you reach the last strain and at the end you play the wrong chord. 😷
Omfg I absolutely lose my shit when that happens
That is literally what is happening to me right now I am learning the Maple leaf rag aswell
Let me guess you jumped to far and hit b flat/d natural/f#/b flat.... did it myself sounds hilarious
This is what I love to see. It was Scott Joplins eccentric genius played by a truly talented pianist that brought me here, but these real world outtakes that make it ..... human. That and the 'ow' at the end of Maple Leaf Rag - yet the key playing mid performance usually looks so precise.
At least you didn't just give up, grab some ice cream and watch Netflix, like I do every single time I want to record something!
Sometimes that's important, to cool off a little bit. Banging your head on those mistakes over and over again may really begin to make you miss more and more. Some time off helps clear the mind to another atempt. It works for me, sometimes at least... haha
I don't know you and this is the first time I've responded to your video. I can relate to SO MANY of the frustrations you went throught as I also dealt with practicing through my music lessons. During the times I would practice, I went through the "grrr" moments, suddenly standing up and walking around the room, digging my fingers into my hair and wanting to scratch into my scalp, or just lifting up the piano and violently kicking it as hard as I can. However, I restrained. I sought perfection and it was just the way it was. Thanks for sharing.
There's nothing like perfect grace and precision.
And this was nothing like prefect grace and precision. :P
On the other hand, the head splat was actually fairly harmonious.
She's together the funny guy, the hot girl and the professional pianist. My compliments for the recipe.
Kristen, many years ago scientists were trying to isolate a compound. They were tired and tried. They decided to put this experiment away for the night and come back tomorrow. They succeeded the next day.
I used to be able to play the Entertainer, Solace and the Pineapple Rag. (No more piano) Some days it's just a good idea to let it go until tomorrow.
In my younger days, I was trying to learn Rage Over A Lost Penny. I just couldn't get it. One morning, it fell into place.
Keep up the good work.
every single second of this video is so relatable
Having come from your other complete videos, although the others are positively beautiful, this may be my favorite video yet! I have to show my daughter this. She is starting to learn piano and sometimes feels that she is the only person in the world, alone with her learning process errors. This video is not only amusing, it is a priceless testament to the journey we all take to learn anything. Thank you so much. My daughter (8-years-old) will likely be giggling with you in a few minutes. Thank you.
Madness is going on... We do not critize... We appreciate to his right value. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT !!!!
Here was I, thinking your videos, and all your performances were perfect! Great insight, thanks for sharing, and thanks for all the videos. You have a great talent!
Becoming a great musician: 90% perspiration, 10% inspiration.
Watching this in 2021: you've done well.
It goes to show. The piano isn't the only way you're going to make us smile.
I can relate, Kristen. Only two times have I recorded myself playing piano (audio tape only). The first time was back in the 1980s as part of a writing workshop class. Instead of writing about a song we heard, I wrote about a song as I was playing it (Gladiolus Rag, my favorite). Even playing it simplified at the time, it was a challenge to get through the whole thing without error. Took several tries.The next time was in the 1990s when I recorded a medley of my favorite parts of rags for my grandfather including some homemade transition measures to go between the pieces. Took lots of tries to get that one down.And I had some battles with my roommate's cat back in the 1980s when I would practice. He sometimes got tangled up with my feet which messed up the foot pedal work. Or he got his claws stuck in something and began howling, forcing me to stop to rescue him. Fun times.
Our spirit animals are BFF!!! Thank you! No seriously, from one musician to another, THANK YOU!!
My favorite piano video ever. I love a well played, well executed piece. But this truly helped me want to play more.
Kristen - I understand. It is a challenge to get it the way you want it. Keep up the good work! You are doing just fine. We like it.
she is so pretty and her facial expressions are just fantastic. ive now watched this more then 15 times and its funny every time!
This is so relatable.
I know the feeling that Kristen gets. I dabble a bit in music myself and I do sometimes record my playing. There is always more pressure to get a song perfect when you record it. You can play it many times without recording and get it right, but the moment you want to record, then you mess it up. But through repetition you eventually get a good recording, but it always takes time.
Been there done that! It does get frustrating at times. You are an excellent piano player! Don't stop playing! And remember practice, practice, practise! UGH that's all I heard as a kid!...30 min. a day. Everyday....UGH...but now I'm glad I stuck with it. Disney should hire you full time to play for some of their movies!!!!! You will win if you don't quit!....Kristen....don't quit!
This is so real and hilarious. Especially the dogs. Thanks for sharing your humanity with us! LOL!
When I record in Cubase all the takes get banked in the audio pool. I went through the pool once and it was just lots of snippets of audio followed by me swearing, was quite funny to listen to it back-to-back! Your video is the visual equivalent.
HAHAHA I love this! Thanks for posting it!
This is the best example of humanity I have ever witnessed...
I recorded a song a few weeks ago and watching you is like watching my self. lol . The second I hit that record button. Pressures on.
Kristen, you're such an awesome person.
Best one yet. Shows reality. Been there 😂😂😂
this makes me feel so much better about myself. you're brilliant btw.
Hey Member the cold war?
I can relate to those exact feelings when recording. You are sure an amazing and talented pianist !!!
I can relate to this SO good. You display all the stages of despair I have to go through, when I record. "That's the last one!" *fail - tries again*
:))) Its absolutely hilariously gorgeous :)). Congrats for the idea. I believe its a nice inside of the pain, frustration at times and so many mixed feelings when you're set on reaching nothing but perfection and still...small "miss haps" keeps you busy for the most part of the day. I would encourage you to put one video for every successful attempt with the challenges during the shoot. I say it again...you rock your videos, but you're so much cooler when you share your full experiences in front of the nasty keys ;)
I couldn't stop laughing so hard it hurted my stomach! :-D I made many mistakes playing too I wish I had a camera at the time recording it LOL! Bless ya Kirsten you're still brill!
Seriously though I have been there too...I slapped myself on the hand so hard that I would make myself in tears until I get it right :-) even my own face...except for the piano of course
Ah, yes, a delicious slice of "Life Its Ownself" to keep us in touch with reality. Thanks, Kristen!
OMG Kristen you are just a riot!!!! I love you!!!!! This is one of the most funny and genuinely entertaining videos I have ever seen!!!!! My favorite..."I forgot the notes - again!" LOL! I know the feeling. Peace. Tommy Marcinek
I don't know why I've watched this so many times.... It's quite entertaining.
Lol!!! Love your candidness!!
EVERYTHING FROM 0:53 to 1:29 simultaneously happened to me in the same day. LOL! Love ya Kristen
jajaja! !es muy divertido! !Quie guardes mas videos de este tipo! !Muy bien! Saludos!
Very funny Kristen. Thank you for sharing. You are great!!
Nothing could be more relatable.
imagine a cat attacking your hands and feet while your playing
That headband on the piano was just PERFECTION!!!! LOL xD
This is totally me at every band practice. Love your videos.
Fantastic video... Laughed throughout the whole thing ;)
Know the feeling. On my channel I have the advantage however of doing it in sections. You do it in one whole take which is much more impressive
Kirsten, glad that i am not the only one going through such frustration! haha i feel our family members who live with us got the worst end of the stick as i am sure they are annoyed (as an audience) for us having to start playing a piece right from the very beginning again everytime we make a mistake halfway through a recording. hehehee
LOL Love it !! U have wonderful talent.
lol! I love this
Very funny! Good to see you don't take yourself too seriously, and you're very good!
Tape the music to the wall. Use the kind of tape that 3M makes, like post-it note sticky, so that it doesn’t hurt the music OR the wall. Put it just out of the camera frame. Then when you’re not sure where you’re going, look up at the music. The people will think you are accessing your spiritual self, but you’ll actually be accessing the notes. Rubinstein recorded with the music; his boy, John, turned pages for him. That also led to some interesting recording faux-pas, but he got it done. Imagine those performers who could walk into a studio and nail it, first take. Arthur was actually one of those, but not always.
Another option is to get recording and video software that enables you to splice. Yeah, that feels dishonest, but you can see why people do it. Saves a lot of time and gives the same result. Glenn Gould was notorious in the studio. He’d do one movement in a single day in the studio, maybe dozens of takes. That was back when every edit required actually cutting the tape! He’d sometimes have dozens of edits in a single movement. His poor engineers worked for their money! You can find a lot of videos of Glen Gould doing this, because he had the prescience to realize that films of his progress and life would be valuable someday. And he was very, very right. Look for them on TH-cam! Then there’s Max Morath, who I heard perform “Living a Ragtime Life” (his off-broadway show) at least half a dozen times, and he never missed a note. NEVER! Max was the Chopin of ragtime. His pedaling in “Solace” made it as beautiful as any Mazurka or Nocturne that Chopin ever wrote. The thing is, Kristen, you DO it. You finish and the results are great. That’s the mark of an artist. Stay with it. You only get better, and you’re already really, really good!
One more thing: if you use video software, cuts are done by changing camera angles. That makes it look like you purposely transitioned to another view. The extreme of that sometimes showed the artist on a different day. The light is different, and once I saw a video in which the PIANO was different in one cut. Try not to do that! But truly, the way that makes you feel the best is to nail it straight through. I just want you to know that it’s pretty common to splice. I always did two takes and took the best phrases from each take. Usually I didn’t have to cut at all. But the other take is still there for safety. Nothing like getting home and finding that you blew a note you weren’t aware of. Without a safety take, that’s when the “other piano” splice happens. (Don’t do that!)
In my mind you get them all right in 1 go so I'm glad to see that our playing process is more or less the same.
This was as honest as it can be, and yup, we've all been there.
I feel you......
my GOD you're adorable!
I know how frustrating it gets.I once played a song perfectly and right at the end my dad TURNS ON THE SAW
I like studio sessions, they allways include laughter after desaster ^^
I know your pain. I post piano vids and it's comforting to know that someone like you will mess up too. I always wondered if you nailed your songs on the first take. "I skipped a section" is very familiar. LOL!
You need a metrognome 😂 Love your playing and this cabaret is the best!
That's what happens to me whenever I try to record anything!😄
I've been listening to her play for about a year and have never related to any of her renditions. (Maybe because I play a lot of these tunes also.) She is a terrific mechanic though; and I must add that I can really relate to THIS video! The frustration! The maddening shriek when she blows it in the final measure! I DO RELATE to that 100%! Camera on. Camera off! On again. Off again! Yeah, it's enough to make you stab the piano with a machete'! But it's worth it eventually when you just flat nail it! And she DOES -- sometimes.
Interesting to see the humanity in the videos.
Enjoyed the out-takes and all of your studio distractions. Amazing how many things just seem to happen when you are trying to make it perfect. Many times when doing a simple voice over I will just go blank or talk stupid about something I can do in my sleep. The microphone can be a very intimidating device. The video camera - devastating.
0:35 before the scream that sounded beautiful!
yeah! I'm not the only one that study like this! :D
I can relate to that , rag songs are harmonically and technically pretty intricate ,and it's the pineapple rag, AAAAAAAH!, I think that's where all my hair went .
I have been there and done that. But thanks for sharing! Your dogs is also Funny! Try to help you when you plays!
1:41 - 1:47 I feel you..
nice to see someone so good struggle a bit like the rest of us !
Best video on TH-cam
+Josh Kennedy 😂❤️
I just found your channel but I absolutely love it!
Very good video of true behind the scenes happenings for a TH-cam video. I think there are many who see a video and thing oh great that's awesome, but not everyone knows that it can literally take a ton of attempts to get it good enough to upload.
Great job! :)
This is a GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughed the whole way thru... Thanks for showing us your "human side". :-)
hahaha When I record myself I'm such a perfectionist that sometimes I spent hours and hours trying to get it perfect just like you. (I upload the videos to Facebook because I'm afraid of putting them on TH-cam >.< I don't know if I can handle the criticism)
Anyways, I lost it at your right dogs face in 0:44 hahaha
+Roland Schlösser Hahaha.. I'm glad I could entertain! I do this every time I record.. I'm always talking to myself, and I usually just watch it and laugh at myself. I figured I could share it with my subscribers.. Since I don't have much on my channel other than actual recordings. :P
If we didn't see the bloopers, we might think you were perfect or something...which you are BTW!
I'm legit learning the Pineapple Rag (that's what you were trying to record, right?) at the moment and the "I skipped a section" part is soo relatable. You rock Kristen lol
this was the cutest ever!!!!!!!!
Out-freakin-standing!
You are genuinely spectacular ! Like!!
Lol now I don't feel so bad. Your a great piano player btw
Who says there's nothing new under the sun? What an inspired style.
I've heard of chasing your tail, but this takes it to a whole new level.
I feel you, and I'm nowhere near as proficient as yourself. Love your work :)
LMAO ! That's so funny! Thank you for sharing. :)
Thanks for sharing :-)
You play very well, and it's refreshing to see a video of 'mistakes', and to see how hard you work to get it perfect. Keep on playing, and enjoy your human-ness of imperfections :-)
Practice makes improvement, dear Kristen!
But you do make bloopers soooo entertaining!!!
Pineapple Rag like it's never been played before....HA! It's good that you can laugh at yourself, relieves the tension....Seriously keep up the good work...Can't wait to see you at Disneyland as an employee...
this was highlarious!!!!
Omg I am so glad, I am not the only one feeling this much struggle hahah Anyways I looooove how you play, you are such an expiration! I play ragtime as well 😁
Funny ! Almost as good as your music performances in the other videos. Thanks for sharing, Kristen !
Love this video, and can so relate.
Relatable and very amusing
