People have been using muting and other effects on piano for a hundred years. Mostly experimental composers like John Cage - Music for prepared piano from the 1930s-40s - mostly inserting things between or on the strings, like paper, metal objects, etc. The Beatles used paper on piano strings suggested by George Martin.
Cool, making the piano sound like a plucked stringed instrument. A very Romantic sounding piece aside from the Arabic influences. 🙃
Several jazz pianists use plucking and muting of the piano strings. Usually in an acoustic trio performance Chick Corea would have part of a song where he would pluck and mute strings. 20th Century "classical" composers like Henry Cowell, George Crumb, John Cage and more used extended techniques and preparations with the piano. You can also strum the strings as you hold down the notes of a chord on the keyboard, and instead of muting the string, touch it at the exact spots to create harmonics. Somewhere I have a recording of a piano being played by people "bowing" piano strings with dental floss. To see someone else swaying, conducting, and even singing as he plays, see some old footage of eccentric Canadian pianist Glenn Gould.
Hi Justin: I'm so glad you liked this! You really should get into the amazing range of recent "classical" compositions: some might be too weirdly impenetrable for you, but others, such as this, clearly rock your boat. Say's fantastic cello sonata "Four Cities" is worth a watch and a reaction. We have it programmed for a concert in May as part of our chamber music series in Melrose. There's a good performance, beautifully filmed here:

And as I'm commenting about recent classical stuff, my favourite living composer, James Dillon, has his 75th birthday next year so we have a bunch of events planned to celebrate, including a visit from the great pianist Noriko Kawai. You might like her heartbreakingly beautiful performance of "Ae, fareweel, and then forever!"

For a more astonishingly brilliant virtuousic piece by Dillon, there's Shrouded Mirrors for solo guitar:

Before I forget, on *Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock* , there's a song titled *Asik Veysel* , because the Professor Satch is a fan of this musician. th-cam.com/video/sDtqs6nhV6g/w-d-xo.html
Just on the piano plucking I'm about to experience, while I'm here, remember a piano is just a harp taking a nap. I suppose so is a dulcimer?
Since you react to classical and baroque music, you should definitely check out the excerpts from Jean-Baptiste Lully's “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.” The best version is the one by the ensemble "Les Siècles," conducted by François-Xavier Roth.
'Say' rhymes with 'buy'. He's best known as a concert pianist and political activist. I enjoyed the piece. I would recommend you listen to Aşık Veysel perform his most famous piece 'Uzun Ince Bir Yoldayım', it is a hypnotic masterpiece of the troubadour's art.
Ty Boq~!
He begins channeling his inner Bill Evans. Also, he needs to fire his barber. But in the end, I fail to see musical genius (like Yes, Genesis, FZ, Tull, ELP, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, etc.)
Well, of course you didn't know... A lot of piano players, as a car driver, haven't the idea to put he hand in the engine.
It is although very common. I saw live some performers putting aluminium foil or newspapers on the strings to create new vibes and sounds.
In the case of this man and this very video, I am not very impressed. The music he delivers is not this great to me. It reminds me cheesy french famous (and talented) composer of french musicals movies, I think internationally renowned Michel Legrand... But it's OK. Thank you.
That was beautiful, nice shot in the dark Justin! But, if you had taken my recommendation.And watched and listened to, "Cantaloupe Island" live at Montreux Jazz Fest.You would have seen Herbie Hancock in the intro, pluck his piano strings! Gotta get to that performance, Wayne Shorter, Stanley Clarke, Omar Hakim, and Herbie-magic! 😎✌&❤.
