Crazy good bro! People here tend to forget the famous saying : Ludwig van Beethoven - 'To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.'
Don't listen to the negative comments even though I'm sure you don't. The fact you pulled off these incredibly difficult pieces in front of an audience this size is beyond what most people can do. I can't believe you're sitting at 938 subscribers. I can almost guarantee the rude statements are from people who couldn't even do half as good as you just did. Bravo!!
no one mentions the amazing transitions between each song. you are playing very complicated, crowded songs. that must be hard for your hands just after one song, but you didn't even take a break. insanity! incredible skill.
Appreciate your acknowledgement! Yes, that's an important aspect to address... As long as I stretch and warmup my hands/fingers for a few minutes before playing it should be alright. It's easy to become tense after a certain period of doing something as intricate such as the moonlight sonata 3rd movement. So I have to be aware of how it's feeling and to let it breathe. My practise sessions have been quite intense, where I do a plethora of repetitions. I get massages occasionally which helps significantly. Thank you
I always have tons of respect for people playing on random pianos in public. I once played Rachmaninov prelude op. 23 no. 5 on a full size grand that was sitting in the center of the shopping mall, and my heart was pounding from nervousness.
Passacaglia, one of my favourite pieces to listen. I wish there were more of it in one of these piano in public reactions. I easily listen to this piece for hours....
People have important stuff to buy, no time to listen to a live artist. Freaking unbelievable. I would have sat on the steps and watched the whole set!!
The number of jealous, whiny little shitheads making judgmental, pointless, negative comments is truly pathetic. Ignore the hating morons and keep on being amazing, man.
To play a wrong note is understandable, to play without passion, is inexcusable, Beethoven. As an advanced classical pianist, I could relate he played with passion, well done. I can't believe there were idiots who would listen to this and just walk by, and not appreciate it. However, at least enough people did the guy is a classical MASTER. That is one of the toughest compositions to master, there are so many intricate details, it is easy to make an error.
Awesome job being self taught, playing from memory and only 16 years/o. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Keep going!!! Question: how many years did it take you to become this good?
Hi Micheal, great question and thanks for asking! My journey with the piano has been quite a rollercoaster ride. I’ve been casually playing since primary school - whenever I had a break, I’d sneak off to the piano rooms (I still do, haha) and mess around with a few pieces I picked up by ear and TH-cam tutorials, like bits of Passacaglia and the first movement of Moonlight Sonata, as I have not yet acquired sheet music. The real learning began about four years ago, around 2020. I dove headfirst into the deep end by starting with Beethoven’s 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata, a piece that’s notoriously difficult and a turmoil of sentiment. From there, eventually over time I worked on scales and technique. It’s been a lot of repetition, building routines, and staying consistent and disciplined. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am now, and I’m still pushing to get better, almost every day.
@@DynasticDanny Thank you for your comprehensive answer. You should be very proud of your achievement. I’ve been thinking about teaching myself to play piano and that’s why I was curious about your journey. Best wishes for all your future endeavors.
I read your short autobiography....what a beautiful life philosophy you have. Enjoyy the music you are playing/ creating.... your audience certainly does. I wish you all the very best in life.
Hey Danny Boy. Each time I watch I become more of a fan. Love your work and to think you are self-taught and at just 16, playing to that level just blows me away. I love seeing young people, especially through music, express themselves openly and kick goals. I just love it. Please keep it going young fella and don't forget to learn Danny Boy! I suggest anyone, who hasn't done so already, to subscribe to this channel, get Daniel up to at least 1,000 subs and start him on a new journey. I can only see this getting better. Catch up soon Danny Boy.
bro, it's been ages I'm trying to find someone who plays in public with that passion and creativity, a few "mistakes" but it was a 10/10 performance, anyway, glad to find you and keep up, btw hard to see nice looking fellas playing as well haha. peace
bro my favoritt pianist on youtube can u post more public classical pieces would be a dream come true, ive watched every single public piano classical and i craveee more! amazing
❤ 4 years self learning is possible. I recognized a young man who took 1 year to complete grade 8, and 1 more year to atcl. He also played this Beethoven Sonata 14- 3rd very well. Anyway you are a genius. ❤
That’s beautiful to hear. I don’t often compare myself to my potential. There’s weeks when I don’t even practise. I could be so much higher. 🙌 Thank you
Dope work bro. Keep it up. No hate. Just practice well and don’t make mistakes. You play really really good for four years of learning and that took self taught?!? Dope asf bro.
Yikes at some these comments.. I really thought this was incredible and thought how cool it would be to see in person. Also made me realize it’s most respectable to stay till the end of performance if time allows, I can imagine the performer appreciates it. Great job.. hope you continue seizing public musical opportunities and posting them but please less zooming
Amazing talent. Some bizarre comments from jealous armchair warriors who could never do what you did. Who cares if you are self taught, even more amazing; youtube tutorials these days are better than overpriced in-person teachers. You remind me of a young 'We Are One'. Great mash up with the 3rd movement which in itself is beyond what most can play. Well done and ignore the twats.
I don't mind paying the overpriced fees for my piano teacher , makes it so much easier for learning the musical theory side of things . I learn some stuff off of here and all my knowledge from the teacher . BTW your comment about the teachers was quite twatish of you. You should be ignored
Bro i get why you play those hard pieces nearing the end, it shows alot of skill. But in my opinion they don’t sound as good as the easier pieces you were playing more in the beginning. And to the audience who probably aren’t piano players will probably be more impressed by the slower popular songs like lalaland and golden hour. Although crazy playing!👏
Yo, great question - I’ve been playing for a while, through various parts of my life. In primary school, whenever we’d have break, I was immediately onto trickling the ivories of the pianos in the dark insulated rooms they had. I had known a little bit of Passacaglia, and other stuff which I no longer have retained in my repertoire. Along with moonlight sonata 1st movement through hearing it by ear. However, I’ve been primarily Learning for nearly just over 4 years (2020). I initiated learning the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven). It was crazy jumping into a grade 9 piece, and since then acquired scales and other stuff to support the technique. (I have not done sheet music.) Through lots of repetition, routine building, consistency and discipline is how I have got this far and continue to evolve.
Crazy good bro!
People here tend to forget the famous saying :
Ludwig van Beethoven - 'To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.'
I looked into the quote regarding playing it fast, and couldn’t find anything on it.
I might update that
But i cant hear any passion in this video. There are just the mistakes. And nothing else 😅
wow, I love that! I wish my piano teaches years ago felt that way LOL

We can relate 💪
I want to learn more Rachmaninov

BRO that was an absolute PERFORMANCE. this deserved alot of views
💜
🥹🥹
Notice how the asian parents are recording to show how his kids should be like... Rip
😹
Asian parents proved👍👍
Now i’m gonna have to ask my kid to practice 40hours a day.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
OMG! That lonely Piano has waited all of its life for somebody to express its complete potential!!
Phenomenal performance!!
Bravo!!!
outrageous I think people don't understand how impressive it actually is. Awesome stuff
Thank you bro, let’s get this up to 1Mil 🙌
If I was there, I would have cried...
How talented is this young man, well done.
Thank you very much, kind sir!
a star and a entertaining pianist
Passacaglia, one of my favourite pieces to listen. I wish there were more of it in one of these piano in public reactions. I easily listen to this piece for hours....
Look up Yuki Piano, she also has several recordings of Passacaglia on public pianos.
People have important stuff to buy, no time to listen to a live artist. Freaking unbelievable. I would have sat on the steps and watched the whole set!!
Same.
Great medley, some of the transitions were just fantastic 👍🏼
The number of jealous, whiny little shitheads making judgmental, pointless, negative comments is truly pathetic. Ignore the hating morons and keep on being amazing, man.
Nothing like music to make the heart and spirit soar!
He is a Maestro at a very young age!
I rewatched this vid like 10+ times in total within these past days, i gotta be the top 1 watching u frfr
stalker 🫶
💕💕
@@DynasticDanny already been a habit now, I watch this everyday 😭🙏

You moved me to tears so beautifully you played!
Listened to this again. Superb Chopin Torrent at 6:00 - incredibly difficult to play with so many different techniques, very well done!
🙌 Thank you so much!
After lots of practise the eloquence makes a huge difference/impact
I would miss every flight and go home happy, gifted and blessed. Oh my goodness.
What do you mean
@@DynasticDannyThey would miss their flight and die a happy person if they saw you perform live lol
You think it's an airport when no one has luggage with them....
@@logicalmisery3737 yh I think it's a mall or something, because of the stores and all
Oh 😭🙏
Playing like a madman...i mean that in a good way
Bravissimo!

We take a few moments to appreciate what took perhaps thousands of hours of practice to master when many of his friends were doing their own thing.
love This ❤

Nahhh. This was amazing dude🤍 Keep it up!

great job

I'm laying here on my bed with my headphones on, and I was closing my eyes just listening to the beautiful music that he was playing.
Love the music, unnecessary camera zooming every 5 seconds put me off.
Most people are Philistines!
How long have you been playing?
Yo, great question -
I’ve been playing for a while, through various parts of my life.
In primary school, whenever we’d have break, I was immediately onto trickling the ivories of the pianos in the dark insulated rooms they had. I had known a little bit of Passacaglia, and other stuff which I no longer have retained in my repertoire. Along with moonlight sonata 1st movement through hearing it by ear.
However, I’ve been primarily Learning for nearly just over 4 years (2020). I initiated learning the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven). It was crazy jumping into a grade 9 piece, and since then acquired scales and other stuff to support the technique. (I have not done sheet music.) Through lots of repetition, routine building, consistency and discipline is how I have got this far and continue to evolve.
