my piano teachers mentioned about bringing colour to a piece, now I know what she means!
LOL XD XD XD XD
Lol
Haha
He's so good he can continue playing without his hands on the keys.
THE POWER OF IMAGINATION!
Gordon Freeman with marge profile photo. Are you Brazilian?
Xavier Smith talent+design+original ideas+someone that trust that his $ and your image makes a lot of $$$
🤣🤣🤣🤣
So he's know to play that?
I honestly don't know why people can't interpret this, and are not able to put two and two together. No, josh did not destroy a perfectly good piano, if you take the time to watch the behind the scenes of the video the piano wasn't even playable. Also this video is trying to display the many colors and beauties in chopin's music, not simply to destroy a piano.
yeshhhh true!!
True, rip piano😥😭
I've played piano 35 years and never thought of something like that! That was amazing!
Dammit people, look inside the fucking piano--it's been gutted. The keys stopped working halfway through, it was probably a junker beyond repair. The audio is direct from the album. You guys are the reason classical music has such a snobbish reputation nowadays--the interpretation stands strong on it's own, this was just a promotional video. He's playing the game to sell some music so he can go ahead and make more music. Being obstinate isn't helping anybody.
Are you saying that he isn't really playing? I saw him in concert today and he's real and an amazing performer. Played for 20 minutes straight with his wife.
Zalfiecupcakes "The audio is direct from the album."
You know, the album that he recorded. The one that this video is promoting. So yes, of course he's playing. Come now.
He's playing the game to sell some music so he can go ahead and make more music.
Isnt this how it works?
oh you wish dummy
You seem quite mad. I guess "THIS was your last straw" for the day.
And professional pianists and music teachers everywhere cringe... but that’s how you know this professional wouldn’t actually do that to a piano that was in pristine condition. They just made the outside look awesome. There are so many old pianos in the world that are no longer worth the price of repairing. At least this one went out in style!
You guys seriously think they ruined a brand new piano in excellent conditions to make this video? Do you have any idea of how expensive that would be?
Don Yurik LOL, well, it is a white piano, so......
yes
It’s probably a fake piano
Such a sweeeeet video. I wonder what it was like to clean all that up?
What a chromatic performance
Human Effigy lolll
STFU Alex
Polychromatic, even!
I get it
That’s funny in two ways
Guys, I think it's a playback. If you look closely at 1:58 you can see he's not touching the keys, yet the music still plays!
Yeah, he just thought: "Oh, let me destroy this fine working piano! What the hell? This is so much fun!" People, use your brains. Obviously, this piano was dying out there all alone and Josh was just saying goodbye. Stop judging like you are the smartest in the world.
Julia Bahshalieva Да Вы просто сама доброта и божья благодать. И конечно же самая умная в Мире. Ну тогда одного рояля для пущей весёлости мало. Пусть эта компания разобьёт ещё несколько инструментов, чтобы уж точно все были в щенячьем восторге от этой весёлости.
Ребята! давайте жить весело!
Анатолий Иванович Пирогов Вы бы сначала вникли в прочитанное, а потом предъявляли претензии, да ещё и в саркастической манере ))
Thank to u, im indeed the smartedt in the world
its not about that. its the way he interprets Chopins genius. If you understand music, you know this is abusive and completely stupid. its as if a footballer would burn down his stadium and juggle in front of it. Pure disgrace and disrespect. I am full of hate right now, and Chopin would be too, if i allow myself to say so.
@@lelNoBro I am pretty sure this is a fake piano. The audio comes from his album and the point of the video, is to show how many emotions/colors chopin pieces have. I think chopin would've found it funny seeing this. IT IS A FAKE PIANO.
I can only imagine the fun you had making this
Josh gave the piano life
my eyes and ears has reached the highest point of satisfacation
THAT was a colorful piece!!!!
when pianists do the color run...
Poor piano.... Anyone else cringed when the piano broke?
Serena Chen i was like "b..but...that's a grand...piano...no...don't, it is more expensive than my kidney.."
Your profile picture is how Motzart would react to this video and yhe destruction of the piano.
I think it's a fake piano, look at 1:32 the piano is empty inside.
the piano was broken already
According to Josh, it was a "$500 Craigslist piano"
That was weird
It was very weird, very very weird , extremely weird. Maybe something was like dunno , or something. Weird
This is so funny, how the lid came down and he then just throws it away. Then the total breakdown at the end .. while walking away. LOL. Great!
No pianos were harmed in the production of this video.
Love the performance art with a classic piece performed perfectly! Chopin was a showman himself and would have LOVED this!
Woah! I've never seen a piano performance like this!!
I don't understand why all the negative comments about this classical music has to be serious non-sense. Tell me Liszt and Paganinni were being serious when they came up with La Campanella? What about Beethoven 3rd movement of the "Moonlight Sonata". The classical music of today used to be the pop music of then. You danced to it (Waltz) etc. If you are so against someone bringing new life to classics in a way to attract today's pop audience, then you don't like classical music. You probably are one of those who think sex should only be done on missionary as well.
Lol loved the last part
juan3268 I totally agree with you.... I think Liszt's music is today's heavy metal ;-)
haha missionary is good tho
that one fucking person ^^^^
im sorry. im actually a 34-year-old virgin, you see... call me skippy.
To all you pieces of crap that negatively commented on this video, what do you think you have to gain from shutting down an amazing pianist and performance that you could never pull off?? I'd like to see what YOU can do, if you supposedly know all. The "beautiful" piano was clearly a junker. Good pianos usually take a year to make, why on earth would they wreck a perfectly good piano?? This video was meant to show the colorful images of the music that Chopin wrote. Josh portrays that perfectly.
It's a bit like Harpo playing Rachmaninow Prelude c# minor.
wonderful visual accompaniment to a great piece, bravo for being brave enough to do it. The classical music world in dying because of an old view of how music should be consumed, hope this brings in some much needed younger listeners
Wonderful!! Visually striking and the playing is superb. What a refreshing spin on experiencing Chopin. Josh is a rock star classical pianist, kudos for the impassioned performance.
He's an amazing pianist, dedicated teacher and with awesome personality.
for the kid who hated practicing. this is what they feel inside.
I love how the feeling of the piano piece is described in what actually happens to the piano....BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!! That is what music is about! Colors and feelings and texture....
I could say something like, I'd loved to have that piano. But I have to say it was a pretty cool act. Good job Josh :)
As someone who's for the last 6 years been practicing on an old, cheap piano with broken keys because I cannot afford a better one ... the video breaks my heart.
But I will endure much more than this for Josh haha
@@nanwijanarko1969 It was a fake piano.
Stress NOT, everyone! Watch the behind the scenes video. It does not appear that this was a perfectly usable piano at the start. Probably just an old casing they could put things inside of.
The playing was flawless, and the effects were fabulous! Thanks, Josh and team!
Happy Holi
Why are there so many dislikes! This video is a work of art!
it's a work of an art
Show me a piano that has survived forever, and I will show you a piano that Josh Wright hasn't played into physical submission yet.
Seriously though this is probably my favorite video on TH-cam. If you haven't seen his other stuff, this is small potatoes compared to the stuff Josh can play when he's actually playing. Dude is a legit master of the art.
Brilliant! I presume that those people complaining here...are the judges and masters of the Universe 😀😀😀😀
Well done Josh...an unique, visual and musical Chopin experience! Chapeau!
wow this is really amazing ! okay lets not talk about the negative comments but i find him really talented ! great work!
Franz Liszt was doing this sort of stuff over a century before Jimi. Great to see Josh continue the tradition.
Why did you do this to the piano.
Wow. I got chills as soon as you started playing. Absolute monster on the piano. Amazing.
0:50 I STARTED CRYING
ikr it’s not even in sync
@@TheExarion Im sorry. What isn't in sync?
@@renascitur7051 The section at 0:50, what he's playing does not match what's being shown
@@TheExarion Yeah, it's because the audio was most definitely pre-recorded or done post this vid.
Amazing
That was awesome
lol people on here seriously, what do you think - that they're wrecking a brand new 100k Steinway that they just heaved off the trailer 5 minutes back?
Loosen up and enjoy the performance or move on to another video. Nobody needs your permission to interpret a piece of music in their own way.
it's probably a not functional steinway
Is for the show only.
Yea! I even save for 5 yrs just for an arius.
Chopin etude killed that
Wow this is the coolest thing I've seen Josh do I hope he continues his success
Interesting that all the positive reviews are being hidden due to too many 'negative' votes. Somebody isn't happy that this video appeals to some people.... I personally think it's gimmickry, but pushing boundaries is what music and art are all about.
I liked the concept but the whole time I was just crying out for that beautiful piano...
Fool that's fake
Josh, the more videos you create that are of this caliber, the better. Your skills are obvious. Some say Classical music is snobbish, but it doesn't need to be. It's still music. Maybe if the people performing it were less hoity toity it would help. There is pure joy in any performance. Thanks for sharing this.
That was fun and the playing was beautiful.
He's a pianist. Who can do whatever he want to it
Someone needs to tell me why Meafloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is the video recommended at the bottom of this when I've never watched a Meatloaf clip in my life.😅
Great fun! One should be having fun with music!!!
A very vivid depiction of the struggle Mr. Wright must have gone through to be able to play this piece.
Really cool
Are people really that foolish to NOT realize that this piano is simply a stage prop that has been gutted and re-painted??? I'm sure the video budget didn't cover a 200,000 dollar steinway and sons. It's an artistic statement, and a brilliant one.
Also, quit imposing negativity towards others' interpretations of Chopin just because isn't Ashkenazy. This is wonderful, If your'e that knowledgeable, post a video response of what it's "suppose" to sound like.
Helene Grimaud has stated in interviews that she has synesthesia ie that she see colors when she plays piano, not sure that this is quite her experience but interesting concept. Perhaps if you just watch this watch?v=n5SjyikVztQ you will also see the color
Such a good piece to open concerts with. A tip for Mr. Josh... leave the paint at home... :P
I would like to have been there when they produced this-- it must have been a lot of fun to put together. From the look of it I imagine there weren't many re-takes...
For some reason, my favorite detail is that you can hear he doesn’t use the pedal in his performance, so even though this is (obviously) pre-recorded, he probably could play this standing
Josh, I liked your artistic expression-a new revolutionary chopin piano art. 10/10.
Instant subscribe!
Piano Around the World Hey dotan!😂
I like this tempo more than the other recordings out there. Really neat video!
Great concept! Chopin would approve the array of musical colours near the end.
Josh, great artists always take risks! Good for you! My daughter who loves color thought it was really cool to see all the colors. Very interesting.
Well, this sort of refflects pretty well what it felt like as I used to play the piano in front of an audience... and that piano falling apart in pieces: that´s what I did to the music
How did he do that??? It is crazy
Good job Josh
Great.
audiblemente un reclamo poético se hace visual... Què manera de combinar el arte canónico con el incomprendido arte contemporáneo. Gracias muchas.
Wow crazy
This video is clearly not a serious representation of Chopin's music, but that doesn't warrant any criticism...it still sounds beautiful (better than any of you critics out there can play it, i wager), and still offers a cool and colorful production which is definitely fun to watch....amazing video Josh!
When your teacher says you need more color in your playing
🤭 I…. literally can’t even that was SO incredible!!!!
Colorful! :)
yeah you rock! i agree!
Who's here from Online PianoCon? and thinks Josh Wright is a BEAST!
That was nothing short of amazing. I need to learn that etude! Thanks, Josh! I'm subscribing to your channel right now!
Speaking as a visual artist, I love this performance. "Beauty fades. Dumb is forever." Sadly these stupid comments will live in Google's eternal cache.
Of course the piano was in mint condition prior to the performance. You can verify it easily by seeing the perfectly aligned keys at 0:09
Watching this I can't even explain how it made me feel. So much disrespect, yet so much respect. It was painfully beautiful and horribly wonderful. I still don't know how I feel about it after watching it for the fifth time. It makes me want to cry - in the best of ways and the worst of ways. *sigh* Amazing!
Let you name and skills become associated with all that is good and upright on earth. Blessings. CVD
I won't understand all the negative comments. I think people can't understand new forms of art. This is memorable. Grant Cardone says it, if you have a lot of haters you are doing something good. Those who are mediocre don't have any. :)
Wow
Wow 😳 you are amazing in many way I love the art in this!!! On point! ☝️
pls tell me that used a cheap piano like Young chang for this vid, if you used something like mason &hamlin, i would cry
Also, it's not cool to get soaked in paint
+{GS} Cakez I have a Hailun grand
lhevinne Josef nice
Hahahaha
That isn't even a piano. Look inside, it's empity!
1:08 He can play without the hands!!!!
tremendo video artistico y musical. Muy Buena creatividad e inspiracion
Ahhhh that piano tho
Dont u just hate it when this happens.
Awesome!!! He is such a boy, a girl wouldn't do that to a piano. Very entertaining to watch and the piano playing is amazing!!! You rock!
What a brilliant job! Classical spilling over into the rock n' roll world, and why not!!? Can't wait to see more..... :)
Ow... It hurts😭
Entertaining! Well played, and love the creativity
cool
This is so creative and fun!!! Great job to all involved especially Josh!!!
This is awesome! I want to see this with another song! Like Hall of Fame!
this was actually really fun to watch even though my heart totally broke when the piano fell apart.
Nice job I wish i could play Chopin with so much color :-)
Love it!
Hmmm... Apparently too many chromatic notes... Fun video, Josh. Thanks!
