- Derek Paravicini is a musical savant. His extraordinary gifts developed alongside blindness, learning difficulties and severe autism. For Derek, music is a vital avenue of communication and understanding in an often confusing world. With an instinctive grasp of harmony and perfect pitch, Derek is a wonderfully creative musician and virtuoso pianist who remembers everything that he hears and can effortlessly switch style and key.
Derek absolutely LOVES sharing his music with the world, taking requests and hearing comments, so please do leave some ideas for him! #music #incredible #skills #positivevibes #motivation #happy #genius #neurodiversity #amazing #talent #piano - เพลง
“We don’t know the limitations of his mind” goes hard
Everyday language is equally as complicated, if not more. This person's brain is just wired differently.
@@massivecowbreakout7555 Agreed. I’m a big fan of Derek and I’ve been following him for years. What I said is a compliment… I’m just using language a little differently than you. If this wasn’t an assumption that I was insulting Derek then my bad for replying back to you. We love Derek here he is a genius
I mean technically we dont know the limitation of anyones mind
@@massivecowbreakout7555literally built different.
Top tier sample.
While Derek is absolutely incredible, I think that we should all appreciate and recognize the father for helping guide Derek. I’m sure his father introduced him to music, and he’s still by his side all these years later. What a good Dad.
That's actually his music teacher. His parents are very supportive, but they only show up once in a while on video.
🙏🏼🙌🏼
Not only can he remember 20,000+ songs but can also produce variations on all of them! ❤
I'll produce a variation on your mum
Yes he could play 10,000 songs... and play every one of them in a dozen different keys, and then add innumeral variations to each...so he can literally play hundreds of thousands of songs and they would never be the same. All from his mind.
I’ve seen clips of Derek many times now and I’m still rendered speechless every time.
It’s superhuman.
Incredible. Goosebumps. What an amazing human. Life is a trip
HE IS A ANGEL WHO HAS BEEN BLESSED
You are the greatest pianist alive right now. Bless you Derek
The rapid impromptu key changes doing Flight of the Bumblebee is incredible
On Derek's live streams, you can see him occasionally do this with pieces he has just heard for the first time seconds ago as well. Changing key is just a completely natural thing for him, no conscious effort at all.
www.kickstarter.com/projects/keyofgenius/key-of-genius We have recently crowdfunded for a short film about Derek's early life and how he learned to communicate through music. Will keep everyone updated!
If you hear this Derek - thank you so much for speaking to us through your music. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
All pianists, like myself, are on this man's side and rooting for him always.
Hey vsauce. Michael here
😂😂😂😂😂
Unenslave my brethren. This man is no dancing monkey. Peace be unto the armies of the avengers.
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed him in the background
Derek, you are probably the most fluent person alive in the universal language of music. Your fluidity in speaking this language is one of the most beautiful things to hear that I know of.
I'm a huge fan. Derek is absolutely amazing and entertaining
Man is so talented with almost none of the tools to help him learn. This is what not making excuses Dan do for you
This is more attributed to him naturaly. His mind is simply constructed for it. But you are absolutely correct.
This has absolutely nothing to do with not making excuses, and everything to do with his brain. I suppose if he tried hard enough he could see too?
This is so beautiful. What an extraordinary man!
I love derek. He comes across so positive in all videos. I'd love to hear his take on a track from the official sound track to Icewind Dale 2 a track called skeleton of a town by composer Inon Zur. the original goes for a few minutes, most versions you'll find on TH-cam are extended for an hour as it's a very beautiful piece and people get lost in it but I'd love to hear how derek tackles it on piano. Thanks for all the videos
I thank his parents for giving him opportunities for a great life. Also , many thanks to his music teacher 's dedication to Derek.
what an amazing talent
I think this is a story of a father's love for his son. He happens to be a great musician
This guy is unbelievable
A marvellous gentleman, a s he's a champion not letting his disability limit him - an example and shining light for all.👏👏👏
We love you, Derek! Thanks for being an inspiration! ❤
Thankyou Derek for sharing your beautiful talents.
Bro has a Heavenly Pact irl.
He's amazing
Absolutely amazing talent, gifted
A priceless inspiration, this man 🎶🎵
been following him for many many years now. this guy is amazing
Derek, you’re the coolest man alive❣️
Imagine if we could all tap into whatever his mind has done for him.
This man is an inspiration to all❤
The power of music!
I'M IN AWE😮
NO WORDS 😮
Thank you for sharing such a gift!! 🎶🎶💖🎶🎶
My daughter has cerebral palsy, truly amazing people with amazing hearts 💕 you go, Derek
I was a student of a teacher who was blind from birth and he could do the same things this guy is doing . God gave them something special . My blind teacher could listen to the most complicated piece of music and make it sound just like what he heard. Amazing
What a guy
I just watched the ‘musical genius’ documentary about Derek. When seeing him with other savants when he was in the us, it is clear he is on a different level of talent. Also his demeanor is awesome. Big fan here in San Francisco
God's blessings!!Beautiful music!!
Oooh wow! Rock star ❤🔥💯 Music is a universal language and what puts fire in our souls. You possess the fire, Derek
Each person has strengths and weaknesses
The mind is truly boggling.
Not just tens of thousands of songs, he can play them in any key, and any style.
Its "just" conections in the brain, just imagine what other connections can be made!
Because of his birth his brain rewire to were he was given a gift. And the gift will only grows, as there's no limit to his given gift that was given to him. He's been blessed.😊
Is that vsauce in the background?!
could be, Vsauce made a MindField Video about Divergent Minds where Derek also had a great segment.
not unlikely that they had footage from that in here
yep!
"Or is it?"
_cue Vsauce theme_
@@autr3553 the narrator??? Bro its fuckin Lesley Stahl 💀💀
@@NicleT😂
He has tons and tons of ability if you ask me
You are an inspiration!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing abilities!!
Roland
No such things as being blessed bro did his work to get where he is and that should be recognized
Absolutely. Derek does have an amazing innate perception of sound, but it's important to recognize that he has put in his 20,000 hours of practice to get this good at piano. It took work to gain the skill needed to express his ideas.
I hope you could do more bach variations! You have a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing it with us!
"a sea of profound disability" was my nickname in high school
😂😂😂
Bless the professor
Special human being 🫡💪🇬🇧
There are so many jobs waiting for his ability.
I honestly envy him, he’s embraced by music and has no care about what goes on outside… what he does with the simple melody is just incredible!
I love seeing him play. Its so satisfying.
❣️💌❣️
THIS GUY MADE ME HUMBLE LIKE NO OTHER MUSICIAN BEFORE!
“In a sea of” knowing he’s blind was intentional 😂
This guy is all over the Internet
I dont envy him, but i am thankful he exists here in this universe. Hes truly a beautiful human being.
What an amazing guy
That is absolutely phenomenal
I want to hear him play Rush E
th-cam.com/users/liveGSXfCIWJC4o?si=bTsMNu9xQj1JinM4 Derek played Rush E in his last live stream, at about 8 minutes in.
Absolute genius :) 3 months premature, born blind, but his mind developed into that?? I'm starting to think this is the way everyones mind is supposed to form, and that we're doing something wrong.
❤
I can only wish I had a fraction of his melodic understanding.
I like to think his mind has no limitations when it comes to music
God bless you
Amazing!
Get this man some more instruments!!
Unexpected vsauce 11 seconds in
wow, 👏👏👏👏
I just Love things like this 👍
Wow!
Jesus Christ. This guy is insane it’s so sad he has to be blind though, though that definitely has not stopped. Keep going Derek!
Amazing. Inspired
I remember seeing the episode of Mind Field that featured him! He's great and I'm glad to have been reminded about his talent
Beautiful Music
This is cool. Derek your cool man. God is great.
Can't tie his shoes, but can play any Mozart sonata by memory!
It would be awesome to have a conversion with you via music. It's too bad I don't play an instrument. What fun that would be!
It would be interesting to find out how you were introduced to the piano. Also, what about other instruments???
So amazing! Makes me cry
Very inspirational man. Any tips for a musician who has struggled his whole life with hearing notes
Cool lighting ❤
I've always wondered one thing about Derek.
He has perfect pitch and can identify and recreate specific tones perfectly, to an infinitesimal degree, reflecting his cognition.
But how can he recreate the rhythm? His motor skills in other facets of life are not as developed, but his rhythmic motor skills are flawless.
go derek love to see you play mate, absolutely amazing hope you read this comment and i hope it helps encourage you to keeping playing and growing and most of all enjoy your playing. i have a request, stuck in the middle with you
He can play the piano like someone else speaking. It’s almost like his form of communication. And he’s a master.
He plays the piano like our greatest poets, lyricists and writers use language.... it's magical to say the least
to think we only use a small percentage of our brain capacity, and all these capabilities are locked away in each and every one of us!
Absolutely not true, people use all of their brain, "we" use most of our brain for "trivial" everyday things like being able to communicate with other people, planning and executing our daily routine like making food, eating, going to places and doing things we have to - even if we would rather not. Things that are literally impossible for Derek, because his mind is probably only wired to care about music - sure he's unbelievably good at it, but at the cost of being dependent on others for everything else.
Technically you might achieve such a savant level of skill if you were able to reprogram your neurons to a single skill, but that would mean similarly regressing in all other areas of life and giving up your ability to independently function in society.
Amazing.
Not all gifts are in a wrapped box. The best ones come as a surprise.
❤ 🎶 😊
I wish I had a talent
You do!
Everybody is good at something, you just gotta find your thing. If he wouldn't have been placed at a piano he wouldnt be praised as a savant, but he would be shunned from society.....
Maybe the greatest pianist that ever lived and to top it off, he seems like the sweetest soul.
Ayo is that Vesause? NO WAY
Excellent, now all we need to do is figure out how to weaponise dereks abilities
Has he ever tried snarky puppy? I think the song is called lingus and honestly anything with Corey Henry playing in it would be tight.
you are amazing
Wait he's blind! 😮😮😮😮😮.
Savant is an understatement
bro thats just ray charles but with the brightness turned up
