Same. Just realized ive seen that name and this face before. A quick google and ended up at a video ive seen many times before. Finally watched witcher series, just had to get 100% in w3 first :p
This should not exist. A musician so good she sounds like three pianists playing at once, AND a selection of custom pianos, AND fine camera moves and lighting and even costume changes... I like that she didn't wear "costumes," she wore outfits that clearly recalled the characters without being cheesy about it. Han Solo, Imperial officer (in gloves!), Princess Leia and Han passing their theme back and forth... It's amazing. And oh my god, her PLAYING. If an upcoming Star Wars soundtrack has a piece for solo piano, they found their soloist....and if it DOESN'T have an opening for solo piano, WHY NOT? C'mon! Paging John Williams! Thanks for this. This is so great!
Watching this just makes me regret quitting, I took 3 years as a kid and I can only imagine how good I'd be now in my 30's. I can still read some sheet music but I mainly play by ear.
TunaTastic I just meant that the way he worded it made it seem like he had passed. Such as “he would’ve loved to see this (when he was alive)”. But yeah I’m sure with the modesty of John Williams, he most likely wouldn’t be searching for people to glorify his works further than they already have over his extremely successful career.
Gavin Koh HAHA funny but parsecs is actually a measurement of distance not time, so it depends what the Kassel run is on weather that actually make very much sense at all But still that’s pretty funny
TheGoldenAssassin The Kessel Run it’s not about time, but about distance and worm holes, the less worm holes and hyperspace routes you take, the better! Not about time at all
Star Wars ends with the rise of Skywalker When all Skywalkers die then Star Wars ends because the whole story involves around them all and Rey is not a Skywalker at all
MistahRuss - Anime, Disney, Classical - Piano more likely to be a very thin layer of leather so it is actually perfectly possible and actually might be easier as there is more response from the keys as it gives better grip! ;)
david plotnik lol i was frankly mystified how people get that fast 1-note-repeat till i saw her sort of dogpaddling/fingerbicycling a few of those keys.
Absolutely agree. Especially those repeated notes (in octaves), and the rapid left hand descending motion. For one I can’t figure out how to post-process the gloves, with the black keys and black piano in the background
@@mateusgradyharsono5135 She's just a great pianist,and probably they found a material a bit more sublte.Anyway it will be hard to play ''normal''.But....she does.
she almost certainly pre-recorded the piece and dubbed over the video with the recording. there are no visible mics and cutting the different pianos together would not have been so smooth. there are specially made grand piano with pickups and inbuilt mics that get that rick tone and subtle effect that the piece has.
I'm an elementary music teacher and I used this song in my lesson plans for "May the 4th" this year. I was thinking when I put it in my lesson plans "there's no way these kids are going to sit through a 10 minute song". Well... I was completely wrong! My students are ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZED by this video and wanted to watch it again! Love it!
Guess the track list got buried. 0:00 Opening Crawl 1:41 Duel of the Fates 3:18 Leia's Theme (Try not to cry) 7:13 Imperial March 9:28 A New Hope Credits Final Movement 10:14 Yub Nub
Amazing as usual! As both a Star Wars nerd and a soundtracks nerd, let's see if I can get this right: 0:00 - Main Theme 1:41 - Duel of the Fates 3:17 - Princess Leia's Theme 7:13 - The Imperial March But where was Binary Sunset? Droid Invasion? Here They Come? Throne Room? The Cantina Band? Princess Leia's Cinnamon Buns??! Oh well, I suppose that means you have more than enough material for Star Wars Medley Ep. II. John Williams is too prolific to be contained in just a single medley! ;-)
I like how each of the pianos even fits their respective themes and skins....The keyboard for the falcon is s little gritty...chipped keys, etc...the one for Duel of the Fates is very crisp and dark....etc
This is incredible. The pianos, the score, the sets, the characters. You can tell that you all put so much thought and effort into it, and it really paid off. It's so subtle and beautiful.
Not only do I love piano/ passionate music, but I am a Star Wars fanatic, and this is one of the most amazing performances that I have ever listened to. The pull and push, the feeling of inner instability turning to resolution in the Leia and Han Solo love piece.... just heart wrenching and captivating.
I really hoped to hear "Across the Stars" and "Anakin vs. Obi-Wan" 'cause the public opinion on the prequels is insignificant next to the power of epic score. Also the raw structure of General Grievous' theme would've been awesome on the piano. Regardless I still enjoyed it. May the Force be with us all. Emperors' treasury contains my cut-off right hand that gives this medley a solid thumbs-up.
Production value is insane. I've watched this like 60 times: never gets old. The combination of dress, themed pianos, props, camerawork and incredible piano performances is just insane.
The cinematographic choice to have the shot cut constantly from Leia, Luke, and Han’s themed pianos during Leia’s theme is perhaps the most impactful part of this video, in my opinion. It made it so breathtaking, perfectly paying homage to the bond of friendship and love these three heroes shared... well done :)
There should be a TH-camr full orchestra. PlayerPiano on piano. Lindsay Stirling on violin. 2cellos on Cello. Trombone Shorty on Trombone... Any others, comment with their name and instrument!
Bravo, Sonya! I can’t imagine how many times you practiced and played that for this! And hats off to the piano crafters and video production team! Very creatively done!
Flash-forward 4 years and she just co-composed the music to the Netflix show 'The Witcher', including 'Toss a Coin'!
loseurillusion15 really! That’s amazing!
And that's how I just found her - as a big Star Wars nut too, she is now on my uber cool list.

It's hard playing with gloves. It's amazing how you make it seem so easy.
it was recorded then played separately filmed
MistahRuss - Anime, Disney, Classical - Piano more likely to be a very thin layer of leather so it is actually perfectly possible and actually might be easier as there is more response from the keys as it gives better grip! ;)
the fact that she played the hardest one with gloves just made me fall in love
Playing a piano, if you think about it for a while, is like tickling a desk.

wow dude are you serious
david plotnik lol i was frankly mystified how people get that fast 1-note-repeat till i saw her sort of dogpaddling/fingerbicycling a few of those keys.
david plotnik Funniest comment i have ever read in my life. Thank you for that. LMFAO
Why do you think they call it "tickling the ivories"?
Amazing...
Can we all take moment and just reflect on the fact that that piano looks freaking awesome?!?
Torilinn Cwanek which one lol
I once tried to play the piano in gloves.. it's way harder than she makes it look. great job.
Perhaps the gloves have been added in prost-processing....
Absolutely agree. Especially those repeated notes (in octaves), and the rapid left hand descending motion. For one I can’t figure out how to post-process the gloves, with the black keys and black piano in the background

Amazing as usual! As both a Star Wars nerd and a soundtracks nerd, let's see if I can get this right:
0:00 - Main Theme
1:41 - Duel of the Fates
3:17 - Princess Leia's Theme
7:13 - The Imperial March
But where was Binary Sunset? Droid Invasion? Here They Come? Throne Room? The Cantina Band? Princess Leia's Cinnamon Buns??! Oh well, I suppose that means you have more than enough material for Star Wars Medley Ep. II. John Williams is too prolific to be contained in just a single medley! ;-)
Ok but don't forget the force theme either
@@fernandoaguil9357 That's Binary Sunset (but we also need Across the Stars)
When I hear music like this on piano today I always ask myself how would people in the 1700's react when they'd listen to this?
Simple: This is way too much. Too far from the original composition.
They'd burn the musician for practicing the dark arts
The children would love it whereas their parents would believe it's harmful for your ears.
@SN2187 they had people like Chopin, believe me they didn't count the notes.
michael jordan that’s a quote from a movie lol
This video is incredible, it's the best piano video I have heard and seen in my life, PlayerPiano is now my fav TH-cam channel ever

Tanner Hoyt honestly don't know if her hands would be big enough for Rachmaninov. But yeah that'd be sick
anything intense and classical, that is a good point! lol
this does have a Brahms's or Rachmaninoff complex chord sounds
She very likely grew up playing Rachmaninoff. She's Russian after all!
