Sonata in E flat by Franz Joseph Haydn (AKA Lestat’s Theme, from the film 'Interview with the Vampire') “…not quite Furioso...” Performed by Rob Wright
If you read the books you can see why this fits so well. A noble man who once wanted to be a monk then a stage clown as a child. Who lost all but his mother to the revolution. Then his life was taken agianst his will by a vampire. Then, becomes a killer who is brought low by those he turned. Then to lose one of those he made. Only to rise to hedonist fame only to experience the effects of a vampire wanting to be a goddess. This is a man who wanted first faith, then love, family, and then joyous life has to settle for blood. A fitting tragic theme of a truly tragic villian.
I wouldn't go as far as to call him a villain, more of an antagonist in relation to characters like Louis, and just sort of someone who wants to actively forge things out for his own. He just doesn't want to regret anything, that's all. But yes, he isn't "good" as the books go, and he's like that. I'm just very *fond* of him, I suppose. Perfect summary.
Don't forget the one who brought back his own mother and made her his lover to have her abandoned her..I mean, that is some childhood trauma and Freudian f***ary
"Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on the diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something like himself again." Bravo!
"Listen, Louis. There's life in these old hands, still. Not quite furioso.... Moderato... Cantabile, perhaps..." I've had this mini soliloquy memorized for a decade and a half lol
The deeper notes from beginning to end... I felt I myself walking the dimly lit streets of New Orleans, a warm red shining presence coming closer and closer from behind. Being hunted by him. Loved by him and loving to hate him 😭👏 Absolutely breathtaking, I feel as though I understand his love of the arts and humanity through pieces like this ❤
“I am the Vampire Lestat. I’m immortal more or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire- these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not. “
But what is it? Musically if I wanted to listen to this on Spotify what do I look up? Because I’ve tried Haydn sonata E flat 59 and it doesn’t sound the same as this! Please help!
I don't like vampire films, but I'm glad I saw this one. The film was excellent, but most of all I discovered this extraordinary piece of music. I shall add it to my collection of other classical music.
It's 2:30 in the morning and pitch black in my room. A thunderstorm is raging outside with blue flashes of light briefly illuminating my surroundings. Honestly its kind of spooky but also oddly serene. Great work!
Before TH-cam was really a thing (it was new) I recorded myself playing this by ear as best I could from memory on an 8 track my music teacher mother brought home from school. I tried to find it online but in vain... Kids these days don't know how easy they have things.
I greatly enjoy effects of still but moving with old age and dark color as no.12 makes us feel slow and dark but still moving with life. Perfect even at end with no moving...
0:061:10 Interview With The Vampire reaction by Popcorn in Bed + Lestat’s Piano Sonata (Sept 5, 2023) "Listen, Louis. There's life in these old hands, still. Not quite furioso....Moderato...Cantabile, perhaps..." "Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on the diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something like himself again."
To be honest this is the best I've ever heard it played. There is so much tenderness here which gives extra richness to the sorrow of the music. His touch is exquisite. Better than horowitz and gould. It is darkness and light at the same time. The forerunner to the moonlight sonata. But I much prefer this piece by Haydn. It is almost the original gothic piano. I simply adore this music.
Ok. But what was the other song??? The one he was on before Claudia killed him. When she walked in he said "What is it now? You irritate me, your very presence irritates me." And for that matter what was the song Claudia does when Lestat says "Wonderful. Wonderful. Now try something on a more (something) note"

Calm down dude, it's just fiction for crying out loud.
I've read all of the Vampire Chronicles book series. They're making a new TV series about the Vampire Chronicles!! I can't wait to see it!! 😍😍😍😍😍
@@michael7264 That's the point of most fiction ya' goomba. To feel the story as a writer does.
“There’s life in these old hands, still...”
@Imagineth Those were really fascinating words ❤️😁
"Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on the diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something like himself again."
Bravo!
Claudia..........you've been...a very...very...very...naughty little girl...
I literally read this out loud with Lestat’s voice. Obsession!!
How could it be!
"Listen, Louis. There's life in these old hands, still. Not quite furioso.... Moderato... Cantabile, perhaps..." I've had this mini soliloquy memorized for a decade and a half lol

"Claudia... you've been..
a very... very naughty. Little. Girl."
Lestat in a nutshell
He protec
He attac
but most importantly,
He plays a wicked good piano trac
This makes me cringe. I never want to see these formats again, I just want them to die out.
@@Fluffadoodle Oh come on, smile a little
Gold!
I find it funny more because this is the last video I thought I would see it on

Ask the alligator, his blood helped.
Then on the diet of snakes, lizards, and all the putrid life......of the mississippi.
Claudia... You have been a very very... Naughty Little Girl 😠😒
Lestat in the Mississippi River: 🤮🤮🤮
Also Lestat at Piano
🐸🦎🐊
Claudia....
😂😂😂😂😂👍
@@DarioErrik u high🙄?
"The putrid life of the Mississippi" echoing in my brain now.
One of Tom's greatest film moments. The dude is a living legend.
In these times, this brings solace. From the moment we were informed that Mrs Rice is not with us anymore... I listened to you. Thank you.
Anne is still out there..only her body died. Pay no attention...happens to us all. She is immortal
One of the best part's from an INCREDIBLE movie
I agree!
"Where's mama?"
"Mamaaaa has gone to heaven chérie, like that poor lady there" 😂😂
So wonderful...especially with the sound of the rain in the background. Morose and dark, just like everything I love.
So do I
And me!
As I write and listen it is raining gently on this cold February evening.
@@wakechester you're blessed, playing this piece from the cursed 😏😅
Then, you should also love me
I could fall asleep to this on repeat
Thanks (hopefully that’s a compliment!) :-)
Rob Wright Oh no it for sure is!!! 💕
I do!!
Me too! Love the way he plays it 🙂🖤👏🏼
I still do..the melancholy ths pain the wanting of peace it's so....just right
Anyone who can play this is truly gifted.
This is the first piece I ever learned to play. Its not as difficult as it seems, for which I am glad because its so beautiful and a joy to play
I'm learning this next - because the scales ("harmonies") are so natural
@@gormoboskos Hope it’s fun for you.
I played a bastardized version by ear starting sophomore year of high school 😅
But what is it? Musically if I wanted to listen to this on Spotify what do I look up? Because I’ve tried Haydn sonata E flat 59 and it doesn’t sound the same as this! Please help!

The greatest performance of this mighty beauty. As I listen I envision a ballet
“Claudia you’ve been a very, very, naughty little girl”
Listen Louie, these old hands have life still. What a great intro before trying to take out Louie and Claudia!!! Lol
agree
Alligator has left the chat
This comment straight up had me dying.
Honestly this is one of the most beautiful piece I want to be this good one day
It's not a difficult piece to play really - but I agree, it's a very nice piece of music.
Same here I want to play so badly
Before TH-cam was really a thing (it was new) I recorded myself playing this by ear as best I could from memory on an 8 track my music teacher mother brought home from school. I tried to find it online but in vain... Kids these days don't know how easy they have things.
Yup.. So true! These tutorials are great! I had to take classes in the olden days 😅
in the film version it was more supported, and slightly faster, which gave more dark emotions to this music
Playback: 1.25x
Love it. This piece has inspired so much between me and my electric piano (no shame, it never goes out of tune)...
I have elec too
Unfortunately the grand piano mode makes it sound very cut off and the sound doesn't flow so well lol
its great, one of the best pieces on the piano i think, it is a complete melody
amazing
Beautiful!❤️
Thank you.
The tempo is perfect, not really furioso, rather moderato cantabile vv
"Who will care for me my love, my dark angel, when you are gone?" Goodbye Anne
Beautiful, I, traveled through time and space, while listening...

In the movie there is some text as well, fortunately, as nothing much happens in the music.
Very nice
Very well done

It's beautiful music 👍 - from an equally grandiose film
Thank you - and yes, great film!
You just earned a new subscriber. I wish I could play like that!
Muy bien. Para mí, mejor ejecución que en el soundtrack de la película 👏👏👏.
Thank you!
OMG!

Somber note.
Bravo. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amazing pice this sounds great. Let me know if you want somone to come decorate your living room. it's looking a bit depressing.
king climbing - yeah, a lick of paint would cheer the place up eh.
I would love to remake this in my own image but add a few things , I love this song so much this would be a great outro to a video
Claudia... You've been a very, very, naughty little girl.
Yes, she had.... lol
you can clearly see how much haydn influenced mozart.
Immortality awaits us all with one bite , Allow the RH factor to pour let it bleed 🩸
Ty.
Love love love!
Please play bach adagio in d minor
Thanks for this suggestion - I took you up on it... th-cam.com/video/dhYINdrbaMY/w-d-xo.html
Drink from me and live forever
Thanks Haydn? Maybe?
