THE day of the performance, the conductor cancelled and requested that we postpone to concert... I REFUSED... I ended up conducting the Concerto for the bench and the entire Requiem fifteen minutes later... ended up being a pretty decent concert... never wanna go through that again!
1:33 is one of the most epic dramas in classical music. What Pires does is as he said, a miracle. AND the music to boot has all the weight and drama appropriate for the metamorphosis that Pires goes through - it is the perfect soundtrack. I get chills when I watch her progress emotionally from the shock to the resolve to do it! Someone on another thread joked at what if the roles were reversed and the pianist starts playing Rach's 2nd.
it is so amazing, I could so much feel with her! And I looooove the conductor for his supporting words! (just wondering how it is possible she didn't realize BEFORE the concert started, that she hasn't got her sheets with her..?!)

3:15 - and that is on Musician muscle memory. I don't know how but especially during a performance muscle memory takes over and you really have no idea what you are playing or what even comes next but you just know to do a certain movement it will just work. It is like your mind disconnects and your body just takes control and magically you play it better than any time before. It is a crazy feeling.
that poor second girl; either she didn’t practice enough, didn’t even know the music, or just simply got so nervous that she completely failed playing the piece. as an intermediate level pianist and percussionist, i can say that i have PLENTY experience with overwhelming nerves.
Yeah, I practice a lot for recitals, but I messed up bad one time (not as bad as her, and my piece was much more difficult). It was my first recital after quitting piano for 4-6 years and my whole body and hands were shaking. I was so agitated, and even with my piece out, I still screwed up. I was shaking like hell man, it felt so horrible 😔
It's horrible to put a professional pianist through that. I'm talking about the Mozart piano concerto #20 that was not the one she prepared for? How can an orchestra not give the right piece to the piano soloist? What a champ for saying : I can try 1:41 Wow, I would have walk out.
caroline professional concert pianists usually have around 40-60 concertos committed to memory. The D minor concerto is a staple of the repertoire. She could play it automatically if she had to.
@@bartwatts1921 Well the conductor seems to thinks it was a miracle that she took a minute and was able to play the concerto that she hadn't prepared for and do it without any mistake. Conductors should know? She seemed really shocked and lost for a moment. Are you a professional concert pianist?
@@bartwatts1921 Staple? Maybe to a specific group of people. I'm more inclined to believe Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff and chopin as a standard, But, the empty cadenza for this piece is always either beethoven or just never played. That to me is another indication this piece isn't common among pianists.
This happened to me and my teacher had to go over the whole piece with me... I got so embarrassed and cried after my lesson- I think in of quitting because my anxiety always gets the best of me, I'm not sure if I'm meant to be playing piano as a career.

That’s not at all what it sounds like when a piano is “broken”. A piano is a somewhat simple mechanical device, I can think of no malfunction that would make it suddenly play random notes. I would be very surprised if that were the answer. I also don’t think it’s him pretending to play. I think perhaps he plays a simple part and there might have been an embellishment track that was misfiring. They may still use midi for such things so that it can keep time with the band as opposed to the other way around. Some technology was just coughing up a digital lung. Sounds like a corrupt file. Either that or he pissed off some tech on the crew who sabotaged him to make him look foolish.😀 All speculation of course, but I do have some experience with such things.
Listening again, you can clearly hear the part he is playing and IT sounds fine... I now have a different theory, many bands use a “hidden” keyboardist or other musicians off stage and out of sight to help them produce a large sound that people expect and demand. I think perhaps it’s an intoxicated person who is backstage and decided to play along with the band while the secret keyboardist was away on a smoke break because he or she was not needed on this song! 😂 Honesty, that’s what it sounds like. Someone messing with him.
@@murdockscott the keys got stuck and the piano repetitively played the same notes. If it was a person backstage they would have been doing a whole lot more
Armando Morales I think we are gonna have to disagree on that. I have more than a little experience with music gear and performing myself and what you describe seems implausible to me. But who knows... I guess Yamaha did make digital player grand pianos at one point back when I was selling keyboards so I guess it could be one of those (or the newer equivalent) malfunctioning. But if that is this case, why does he have a piano onstage that can play itself on stage? As a performer myself, I personally would not agree to that. However... since pianos are often provided and not carried with the band from location to location (unless you are a very big act), so I guess it could have been a piano that was acquired locally and had digital player piano functions. But why plug it in to power? He does seem surprised by the whole fiasco. Typically though a standard piano is not capable of playing notes without someone striking the keys. Also, I guess it could be a “fake grand” a digital keyboard hidden inside a empty grand piano shell. That could explain what’s going on. It’s a fun mystery.😀
I know that piano mistakes can be a trying experience, remember as long as you have some of your score memorized after the problem can make it a better recovery.
I’m a professional pianist, and suffer from stage fright. It’s debilitating, but I think most of us get through it by saying “this too will pass” or “most people won’t notice a mistake.” But I think the biggest is “no matter what, people will eventually forget this ever happened and it’ll never bother me again.” The knowledge that my bad performance may be immortalized for life for comedy will haunt my dreams now 😭
I've got to give Axl credit, he didn't throw a tantrum like he would have in the old days but instead handled it like he should have which was to just laugh and go with it, the audience was only going to laugh with him.
@@CodeWithLukas 3.14 is the mathematical constant of Pi I was merely pointing out that the timestamp just happened to be the value. I just thought it was a cool coincidence
It’s the scariest feeling when you first come on stage. The mind plays games and for a while you have doubts about playing. But, after about 10 seconds the fear goes away.
I saw Chick Corea break a piano string in the middle of an extended piano solo. He didn't even blink. Just kept building the solo for another 5-6 minutes, occasionally incorporating the broken string (G above middle C) into his solo as percussion.
@Jahliyah TeMoni erm not how it works at all. One or multiple strings get broken, you'll have to entirely restring and retune it, you can't "untangle" it as you say, also they aren't called chords, they're called strings.
@@Souls_p_ - Is it a children's piano? A piano can withstand a lot, and to literally mess it up by pressing down too hard, would be hard. I know Beethoven had it happen, but with his sometimes aggressive playing and banging chords as loud as possible, it's understandable. And that's talking about 1800's pianos. If Axl broke the piano by pressing down too hard, either the piano was very used or he doesn't know how to use it, and just smashed at it basically.
P Nizzle Also it’s not an “1800s” piano I’m speaking of, all pianos have to be restrung that way, including modern ones, you can’t change the core principle of a piano.
Any idea what went wrong with the piano? I'm sure it's not a real Grand Piano, but the body of one with a digital keyboard inside.... I'm wondering if some MIDI Strings or something were playing the wrong sound? Oh well that's technology!
Something very similar to the second one happened to my little sister a few days ago, actually. She was playing "We Shall Overcome" on the school piano in front of the whole middle school (400 people). The night before, she had been crying and stressing about the upcoming performance, as she hadn't been practicing at all!! Just as you thought her situation couldn't get much worse, right before she played, her teacher said she had to sing the song, too. She didn't know all the lyrics. But, you know what? She did amazing! She sang the song with incorrect (but not really noticeably incorrect) lyrics and played simple high notes and low notes that sounded like the song she scrambled to practice the night before. It really sounded great. Of course, some of my idiotic, waste-of-space classmates were chuckling about her shaky voice (and some even were trying to imitate it), but people like them are in every school performance. They're just some thirteen-year-old trolls who would mindlessly joke about anything. It was her first performance, and I am extremely proud of her. Afterward, she claimed she felt relieved that the whole thing was over and that *she did it*. And that is extremely commendable. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" - Lao Tzu.
The lady playing the Mozart number 20 scared me the most. I had a dream once that I was to perform for a full concert hall, but I hadn’t prepared properly and was uncertain with a few pieces. I was terrified. I woke up before I started playing!
@@ludwiggalaxy4277 I mean... you should be able to, unless you’re a beginner student. I still have every piece I’ve played for a recital in my memory, maybe with 1 or 2 areas I’d have to think for a few seconds. You don’t forget a pop song you know after a year.... so of course you wouldn’t forget a piece you’re proficient in!
Well , we all have to start somewhere - I recall my first time performing before an audience - a solo french horn number - could barely hold the instrument save for the trembling - but got through and , on the positive side , found my inner strength as a performer 😌
Ugggh, playing solo recitals or having to play as a soloist is nerve racking. Playing within a band or with at least two or three other people really relieves you of a tremendous amount of pressure. You really need nerves of steel when performing solo. Playing solo at a cocktail party where everybody is milling about and not just sitting there in silence just looking at you isn't that bad either. But recitals....don't like them.
@@nakkilama If he was really that good, he should have been able to play the song in other keys too. I think that's a pretty regular requirement if you're a professional music artist.
If you have stuff memorized, my damage control is to quickly start playing some other piece hopefully seamlessly enough that the confused audience doesn't know what's going on!!!!! (Can't do that in a concerto though!)
I fell down the stairs after my piece in a piano recital and landed at the feet of the teacher's best student...I was so embarrassed. That was worse than having brain blanks during my song.
All winners I reckon! Dude having a jam in a tube station, real beginner playing in front of loads of people and doing well, great pianist didn't have the sheet music, axel as fucked up as the equipment but able to see the funny side....all good stuff!
As a person who has fucked up on the piano before in concerts, I feel the pain of the performers. This video doesn’t make me cringe it just reminds us that we are all foul-able human beings no matter how hard we work as musicians.
As a bassist, I can say I’ve never felt this pain. However I have failed a few chords on bass in front of people so I do know the tension feelings and stuff lmao
La niña del #3 me dio mucha pena... Aunque al menos debería haber aprendido unas cuantas cosas en esos breves momentos: Pensar bien las notas del principio, antes de empezar, para situarse en el compás, no pasar delante del público sin dar la cara y saludar de frente a él al terminar. Ésta actuación pudo producir dos cosas en ella, rechazo absoluto a volver a pisar un escenario o considerar esa primera intervención como un primer paso en lo que se ha dado en llamar "tener tablas". Espero que tomase partido por la segunda opción... En todo caso, bien por ella, supo salvar la pieza del desastre absoluto. :)
@@jessereeks8520 That's not the point. The point was that wasn't a performance. That was a guy walking up to the piano and playing the Entertainer. Yes he fell apart at the end, but that wasn't a performance. That clip shouldn't have been in the video.
2:25 I can't understand why many professionals still need sheet music in front of them! I thought they suppose to practice that piece of song for at least hundred of times
Faith Factory well for many that is true but when live in front of hundreds of people your mind tends to get a bit scrambled especially in front of hundreds of strangers😅😂
@@OrganicFaithFactory its true she trained for the wrong music She did that piece some time ago and somehow remembered everything from her head Its something i had that vid played at music So i know why cuz of that.
That can just come from a person who barely touched an instrument! If you're a professional you have played so many different pieces of music that it's hard to remember something. And these pieces are highly complex!
I maybe laughd A LOT but i kinda feel bad for those ppl up there Edit1: I messed up too at my first concert no lie :P Edit2: The Second girl made me laugh so much i think she cant read the Notes correctly
I messed up in front of a bunch of people playing Liebestraum (the 3rd movement). Was soul-destroying. Didn't let it get me down. Played the same piece the next day and knocked it out the park. Nerves are your only enemy.
I feel so bad for all these people coz I’ve performed guitar a fair bit and the nerves are so high and it’s not hard at all to stuff up no matter how hard you practiced

I know that piano mistakes can be a trying experience, remember as long as you have some of your score memorized after the problem can make it a better recovery.
The best way is to analyze your piano playing, to identify why you messed up & how to improve. This will help your performance become stronger.
Not necessarily. Just because it's memorized doesn't mean you can just recover at any point. You need to have memorized onramps to the music.

0:49 this is literally me learning and trying to play my piano everyday
I've got to give Axl credit, he didn't throw a tantrum like he would have in the old days but instead handled it like he should have which was to just laugh and go with it, the audience was only going to laugh with him.
No. He handled it terribly.
I had a stroke every 30 seconds
I’m so proud about Maria Joao. She is just amazing. Love her💛
1:34 does anyone know the name of this masterpiece
3:14 Damn !
Pi

@@Lajusa 3.14159 etc. Mathematical Pi used for calculating equations relating to circles
@@andreyrumming6842 yeah we know what Pi is.. care to clarify what Pi has to do with that performance?
@@CodeWithLukas 3.14 is the mathematical constant of Pi I was merely pointing out that the timestamp just happened to be the value. I just thought it was a cool coincidence
It’s the scariest feeling when you first come on stage. The mind plays games and for a while you have doubts about playing. But, after about 10 seconds the fear goes away.
The second one wasnt even a fail it was just so brilliant and a win for sure !!
I saw Chick Corea break a piano string in the middle of an extended piano solo. He didn't even blink. Just kept building the solo for another 5-6 minutes, occasionally incorporating the broken string (G above middle C) into his solo as percussion.
I would love to have seen that.
lol how does a piano break like that in the last clip
The hammers on the inside maybe
@Jahliyah TeMoni erm not how it works at all. One or multiple strings get broken, you'll have to entirely restring and retune it, you can't "untangle" it as you say, also they aren't called chords, they're called strings.
@@Souls_p_ - Is it a children's piano?
A piano can withstand a lot, and to literally mess it up by pressing down too hard, would be hard.
I know Beethoven had it happen, but with his sometimes aggressive playing and banging chords as loud as possible, it's understandable. And that's talking about 1800's pianos.
If Axl broke the piano by pressing down too hard, either the piano was very used or he doesn't know how to use it, and just smashed at it basically.
P Nizzle No clue what you’re talking about, a children’s piano has chimes
P Nizzle Also it’s not an “1800s” piano I’m speaking of, all pianos have to be restrung that way, including modern ones, you can’t change the core principle of a piano.
If you ever mess up something that you can't come back from, flip through the sheet music in confusion like it's missing a page
I was never a huge fan of Axl, but I’ve seen G&R live, and I was specifically impressed with the way he played that song on piano.
Any idea what went wrong with the piano? I'm sure it's not a real Grand Piano, but the body of one with a digital keyboard inside.... I'm wondering if some MIDI Strings or something were playing the wrong sound? Oh well that's technology!
I was there for the GnR concert, and I had no idea what was happening from my super far seats lol
literally forgot my song at a recital once and cried for hours after
Aw that sucks :(
Something very similar to the second one happened to my little sister a few days ago, actually. She was playing "We Shall Overcome" on the school piano in front of the whole middle school (400 people). The night before, she had been crying and stressing about the upcoming performance, as she hadn't been practicing at all!! Just as you thought her situation couldn't get much worse, right before she played, her teacher said she had to sing the song, too. She didn't know all the lyrics. But, you know what? She did amazing! She sang the song with incorrect (but not really noticeably incorrect) lyrics and played simple high notes and low notes that sounded like the song she scrambled to practice the night before. It really sounded great. Of course, some of my idiotic, waste-of-space classmates were chuckling about her shaky voice (and some even were trying to imitate it), but people like them are in every school performance. They're just some thirteen-year-old trolls who would mindlessly joke about anything. It was her first performance, and I am extremely proud of her. Afterward, she claimed she felt relieved that the whole thing was over and that *she did it*. And that is extremely commendable.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" - Lao Tzu.
The lady playing the Mozart number 20 scared me the most. I had a dream once that I was to perform for a full concert hall, but I hadn’t prepared properly and was uncertain with a few pieces. I was terrified. I woke up before I started playing!
When you practice for a year and then forget the song
EJ Tamayo can you remember a piece after a year? No.
@@ludwiggalaxy4277 I mean... you should be able to, unless you’re a beginner student. I still have every piece I’ve played for a recital in my memory, maybe with 1 or 2 areas I’d have to think for a few seconds. You don’t forget a pop song you know after a year.... so of course you wouldn’t forget a piece you’re proficient in!
This literally just gives me anxiety
Well , we all have to start somewhere - I recall my first time performing before an audience - a solo french horn number - could barely hold the instrument save for the trembling - but got through and , on the positive side , found my inner strength as a performer 😌
That Axl clip actually had me crackin
The 1st guy still played the Entertainer better than me.
Ugggh, playing solo recitals or having to play as a soloist is nerve racking. Playing within a band or with at least two or three other people really relieves you of a tremendous amount of pressure. You really need nerves of steel when performing solo. Playing solo at a cocktail party where everybody is milling about and not just sitting there in silence just looking at you isn't that bad either. But recitals....don't like them.
There is no greater anxiety than failing a performance and then having to continue it
Once when I was playing I forgot the whole song and they had to bring the sheet music on stage, I cried so much and never had it happen again
Axl Roses singing is even worse than the piano
Thing was that Axl rose acrually sang with good breath support but without grit that's all
Why do you say this?
lmao do u actually have any idea how good he is
F
@@nakkilama If he was really that good, he should have been able to play the song in other keys too. I think that's a pretty regular requirement if you're a professional music artist.
Omg 0:55 I feel you..😭
If you have stuff memorized, my damage control is to quickly start playing some other piece hopefully seamlessly enough that the confused audience doesn't know what's going on!!!!! (Can't do that in a concerto though!)
Emily Redwone you feel her when she didnt bow down for the people who clapped
Same happened to me once, trying to play Rondo Alla Turca, horrible experience, I was so nervous that couldn't control my hands😑
I fell down the stairs after my piece in a piano recital and landed at the feet of the teacher's best student...I was so embarrassed. That was worse than having brain blanks during my song.
All winners I reckon! Dude having a jam in a tube station, real beginner playing in front of loads of people and doing well, great pianist didn't have the sheet music, axel as fucked up as the equipment but able to see the funny side....all good stuff!
So unfair making fun of the second person -
I don’t consider Maria’s a fail though tbh, just a very big panic. She was still able to go through it like nothing happened
One time I played for my church when I first started playing piano with TH-cam tutorials and had to wait for an ad LMFAO
As a person who has fucked up on the piano before in concerts, I feel the pain of the performers. This video doesn’t make me cringe it just reminds us that we are all foul-able human beings no matter how hard we work as musicians.
I can relate to the man at the start that’s how that song sounds most of the time when I play it
Yeah Axl, blame the piano 🤣
M.J.Pires plays the complete piano part of a Mozart concerto from memory; Axl Rose needs a teleprompter to sing his own songs.
y’all wrong for posting #3
The cringe. I’d like to see TwoSet react to this.
I see a man of culture
Lol
3:14 madre mia que hermoso
SrBill y cual fue el error ? No entendí
Shutup
@@gabrielmonterroso8395 no hubo error, ella improviso al final y le salió todo bien
That second clip creased me up
As a bassist, I can say I’ve never felt this pain. However I have failed a few chords on bass in front of people so I do know the tension feelings and stuff lmao
1:38. Heartbreaking x
The Guns&Roses clip had me in tears 🤣
The second one was stage fear + anxiety. Poor girl, can't blame her cause I know how it feels, as I've been in the same situation.
Its a nightmare for piano players to forget your music while playing it
You put a child’s recital on there. Shame on you!!!
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! it must have been so sad for her. poor girl! and now thousands of people have seen it.
lol
But it was a really big fail
that is 100% not a child
@@BOT_Ivan what? yes she is
Back in the old days, Axl would have destroyed that piano, kick some technicians ass, and walked of stage (in no particular order). End of concert.
Oh man! The Guns n Roses piece had me in tears 😂😂😂
Imagine being the 2nd list person.....its like we forgot to bring hallticket for exam
That one pianist forget her sheet music at home for a concert but eventually found out she memorized the whole thing :O
La niña del #3 me dio mucha pena... Aunque al menos debería haber aprendido unas cuantas cosas en esos breves momentos: Pensar bien las notas del principio, antes de empezar, para situarse en el compás, no pasar delante del público sin dar la cara y saludar de frente a él al terminar. Ésta actuación pudo producir dos cosas en ella, rechazo absoluto a volver a pisar un escenario o considerar esa primera intervención como un primer paso en lo que se ha dado en llamar "tener tablas". Espero que tomase partido por la segunda opción... En todo caso, bien por ella, supo salvar la pieza del desastre absoluto. :)
4:12 “Stop. What the f*ck was that?” LOL 😂
Nothing 'fail' about the soloist beginning at 1:30, she has an amazing memory.
🎄Great!!💎Merry Christmas!!🎁
This made me sweat so much I had to take another shower.
WHAT WAS THAT GUNS AND ROSES CONCERT SOOO DEAD LMAOO
Haha, the first one was so relatable. :D
That first one wasn't much of a performance as it was some guy trying to play a song and screwing up.
Ogany Supreme also it’s hard to play those block chords while standing and he was just having fun
@@jessereeks8520 That's not the point. The point was that wasn't a performance. That was a guy walking up to the piano and playing the Entertainer. Yes he fell apart at the end, but that wasn't a performance. That clip shouldn't have been in the video.
2:25 I can't understand why many professionals still need sheet music in front of them! I thought they suppose to practice that piece of song for at least hundred of times
Faith Factory well for many that is true but when live in front of hundreds of people your mind tends to get a bit scrambled especially in front of hundreds of strangers😅😂
Faith Factory she learned the wrong piece
@@blankbl321 lol
@@OrganicFaithFactory its true she trained for the wrong music
She did that piece some time ago and somehow remembered everything from her head
Its something i had that vid played at music
So i know why cuz of that.
That can just come from a person who barely touched an instrument! If you're a professional you have played so many different pieces of music that it's hard to remember something. And these pieces are highly complex!
I should NOT have watched this the day before my recital (;-;)
#2 looked like a piano exam for an unseen piece. Pure sightreading test. FAIL!
I maybe laughd A LOT but i kinda feel bad for those ppl up there
Edit1: I messed up too at my first concert no lie :P
Edit2: The Second girl made me laugh so much i think she cant read the Notes correctly
hi there i would be interested if you could tell me which is the name of the first song
Γειά σου, το λένε the entertainer
ευχαριστω παρα πολυ φιλε μου😀
That first one 😂 don't give up keep practicing !!!
*Every pianists worst nightmare*
The Axl rose one it was a error of the programation
2nd one needed more on the damper pedal
Amazing how Axl Rose just kept playing and didn't make drama out of it
I messed up in front of a bunch of people playing Liebestraum (the 3rd movement). Was soul-destroying. Didn't let it get me down. Played the same piece the next day and knocked it out the park. Nerves are your only enemy.
#3 is not really a fail, the girl is probably beginning piano. She wasn't ready at all and she deverves appologies from her teacher
Kridge not teachers fault
come on be serious, you can't exepect a good performance from this girl. She is not ready ! So what she decides herself to be ridiculous ?
What music piece is in the pls. 1:33
Mozart piano concerto no 20
I feel so bad for all these people coz I’ve performed guitar a fair bit and the nerves are so high and it’s not hard at all to stuff up no matter how hard you practiced
Ollie Martinelli yeah I know I was just using an example I play piano as well but I haven’t performed it
3:12 holy shit she didn’t have the music and she still did it chills.
