they don't call it a percussion instrument for nothing!

I was just thinking the same thing. Mozart etc. were good, but in this age we literally mastered on piano.

He's not the only one that does this stuff..percussion on and with many surfaces, bowing strings, looping, harmonic stopping, hand muting, etc (this and others of his vids), don't think he was even the first to do any of it, not sure, but he does do it REALLY well, and this an Pirates are two favorites of mine from him. If you haven't seen that one take a look. And if you want to see a well played odyssey from pirates called Pirates Forever, check out Jerrod Radnich's version...it is nuts, and quite beautiful at times!

I'm scared to break strings and the mechanism inside pianos are nuts ! It's so fucking mechanical, all those little levers, arms, and rockers. I have a 90s kawaii upright with weird creaking on several keys just above middle C and I believe it's some of those mechanisms beginning to wear. You guys think a tuner will look at this stuff for me ?

Excellent for every cloud there's a shining silver.star..and this one of them

I hope he covers Thomas the Dank Engine as well

Almost as good as your cover! Lol they're both amazing

Damn straight boii

Lol

Same

Yes. It think its a Bosendorfer 290, they can be 500000 dollars.....

That's great! never give up my friend

I played piano before when I was 2 and I knew happy birthday until 6 years old because I gave up then now almost 2 years since I started piano and I know over 50 songs and I'm 12 years old

Tank_Tango PUBG that explains ur name, your 12 yrs old. What’s your hardest song you’ve played? Mine was Wrong Note Etude by Chopin

Go fuck urself nobody cares

@@ripjaffurs wow you think you're cool or something? please do everyone a favor and never reply to comments again.

Don't forget the sweet Bösendorfer

Lol

Got to be minimum 2 grams in that video . But boy has he got some skills

lol

@Snich Trolliana we sure are but it's not the sugar free kind that's for sure .. he is a great talent though Jesus he plays the shit out of that thing . Johnny may is also a fine player does some really cool stuff .

Noticed!

Why do I think Yamaha owns Bosendorfer these days?

When where is his pe pe

He doesn't play the piano, the piano plays him...

560,000$ to be exact

Alot

So true!

But if the piano is that expensive, I can‘t even imagine the worth of his fingers.

Sure the piano is expensive, but it's expensive so that it can be played this way. (Well it's expensive becuase it's an Imperial BUT, not just that). A good piano is desgined to take abuse and keep giving and giving and giving and people don't seem to understand that.

Oh me too, bless that you found some peace. I am working on it, and I am gonna make it! This version is simply joyous ❤

Gay

I was wondering if someone more notice that he's barefoot, HAHAHAHHAHA. Thanks

Underrrated comment 😂😂 Literally laughing my ass off here in my room

Same! Not showing it to my wife and kids but watching it 6 or 7 times LOL

Only 6 or 7 times!? I've watched it like once a week for the last 2 years!

@@Homitu That's a rookie number!

I have probably watched this over 500 times no exaggeration because I'm a semi driver and I listen to a lot of music and this is certainly one of them

A hug from Italy friend ❤️

j'adore ! émotion très communicative, cela fait du bien , merci

hope you've gotten better

Lewis Chapman I see what you did there.

@@lewischapman7286 If you own a Guitar you can even finger A-Minor

:D

Isn’t it a b?

hahahahahh!

Yes. I too had the work-out thought. Certainly he is getting exercise, isn't he? It happens that my wife, who's a dietician, says that playing the piano "vigorously" burns about 100 calories per hour... but I am pretty sure Peter Bence is using more than that... (?)

Neck exercise

🤣🤣

@@effyleven YES! I can finally say I'm exercising when I play piano! ... I should play piano more.

You know this is playbacked, right? It's just a well produced multitrack recording.

@@benedykt123313 imagine producing an actually good music video, but using just one instrument. The beauty of this piece was that it was achieved using just one instrument and only one instrument. Everyone knows it is playbacked, but come on! Hear the actual music.

@@suhaasvemuri7980 The problem is presentation. It's not so hard to make the music Peter Bence is making if you have all the time in the world and access to a half decent recording studio. His "party trick" is the use of a looping station and using it live, where he very clearly didn't in this video. Imagine being famous for being "that guy that hits his piano for performance" while it's all fake. It's kinda sad, isn't it?

aSongScout hey !! I love your channel !!

aSongScout are you taking the mickey or are you being serious yes it is a fantastic job on the sound mixing and also on the piano Peter is a breath of fresh air something different he is amazing have you been to see him live maybe you need to

I was being serious, videos like this take a ton of work of figuring out how to mic each part of the piano optimally and how to mix all the different tracks together in a way that sounds good and isn't cluttered. His playing is obviously amazing so I thought I would leave a comment on something that isn't mentioned as much.

aSongScout I'm very sorry I've just seen so many negative comments it's disgraceful to be honest how somebody can mock a person with such Talent he is a true artist

Hey, any idea what foot pedal set up he's using for the loop recording?

I totally agree!!! Have you heard Wayo's version of Africa....another really nice one!!!

@@johansantenn Yes I know :-).

what is the name of the second part in the cover ?

😂

Wanna prenup with that piano?

One of the best comments

This is way better than the original.

That "passion" is cocaine.

how can you not when it's Africa

Especially the commentary!

Indeed!

Like your mom, pianos can also take a good pounding :)

No

It was a drone

Because you like a foot without shoes ,and you can not reach them fogot

I now

Cracking sound on it!

He is pounding too hard, I agree... He has a wonderful Pianissimo, but his Fortissimo is just awful! I love his transcriptions; they are masterpieces!

Who cares it only a panio

@@TuffBurnOutTeam Y'know, this is a really underappreciated comment. I mean, yes, it's a masterpiece of an instrument, designed within a very thin tolerance to enable a superior--almost mystical--performance, and from that perspective, it should be treated with respect. However. It was designed with a simple purpose in mind: to make music. This is what that precision, that dedication, and that mastery were geared towards: the performance of music. Thus, if crafting the best performance requires harming or even destroying the piano... well, burn the f#@%er down.

Me too easily on my 500th view

he needed to be bare to use the loop station on the ground

xDDD well play !

@@axireon9889 Don't offer up completely wrong answers to people.

@Jason Cavanaugh Or.. Don't offer up completely unsupported comebacks as to how I'm wrong. I'm quite a musician myself and have a good understanding on how all this works. Yes he could have worn shoes, but it makes it more of a struggle because not all loop stations have wide enough pedals. As does my own. Shoes can also slow your reaction time so you may not tap the pedal fast enough causing that track to be off tempo with the rest of the song. Now please enlighten me on how I offered *"Completely Wrong"* answers to people?

@@axireon9889 Here's my anecdotal evidence, since that's all you've offered: I've been a guitarist for over 20 years. Not using shoes of some sort with a pedal will also allow the sole of your foot to curve around the pedal's trigger rather than depressing it consistently if you were using a flat surface to activate it, particularly with pedals that have a push-button trigger. Also, shoes do not 'slow reaction times.' That is beyond foolish. Take your barefoot, hippie stupidity and share it with people who might actually believe you.

i'm afraid so... but hey, at least salieri did too

Pity Beethoven can't hear this.

Ikr

@amanda mylcraine Mozart actually used quite a bit of profanity- the man even wrote a six-part canon that literally translates to "lick me in the arse".

@amanda mylcraine people know little about Mozart I swear. He has had obsession with "butts" for once, for second he was a known prankster. He even finished his compositions on day before competition. He later fell into alcoholism, but Mozart was class. I bet he also used piano in ways we cannot think about.

🤣 nothing like getting your moneys worth!

I like the bit where he used the piano as all the other instruments in the orchestra

He just from Hungary.......that little country tucked away somewhere in central Europe........

This guy is insane!! I made a youtube after watching this he inspired to play piano again :) It would mean the world to me if you subscribed

That's playing the piano....

"he doesn't just play the piano, he is the piano" or "he doesn't just play the piano, he feels the piano" would have been better.

Was pretty fast for normal speed. Sounded good Barry Allen.

very good piano skills, but I don‘t like music videos pretending to be played live but actually are prerecorded - it must definetly been mixed to sound like that. anyways, a nice idea but not unique.

what about that makes you think it "must *definitely have been* mixed to sound like that"? i've seen performers do shit just like this live and in person, and it sounded just as good to me, so i'm not sure what you're talking about.

Given that this has digital editing on it, he might have never played it with no mistakes. You can't tell from this video.

He definitely didn't play it live. This was all prerecorded. You can see the way the pedal doesn't line up. It's still impressive, the video is just definitely misleading.

Lmfao

No sense in having an instrument if you won't use it to its full potential

mrmintsgames it won’t do much damage to it it’s fine

Lmao its twice the price of a lamborghini

Very creative 👌 I indeed!

@@Free_Falastin2024 The question is if you have to beat things to use their full potential. Instead of, I don't know, using a drum computer made for that exact porpuse.

Tyler Holdsworth I do the exact same thing 😂

am sorry body but i have to tell that's not every one can do , it's real gift

msak.d bayahz no, anyone can play that good with the correct amount of practice & love!

Meeee 😂😂daydreams everytime seeing talents

YOU CAN LEARN TO PLAY LIKE THIS! It will take allot of time and frustration but the end result you get is super satisfying.

Jordan Riddle i wish i could play that

Me too!!!

Maya he is god= pure love at that point

...settle down

which god again?

Did you see this in the morning brew

I sure did! And I'm glad I didn't miss it.@@alexwashington2554

It does when your piano falls apart.

"Creation doesn't have a price" I'm guessing you don't pay child support?

@@tomheather1338 LMAO

Same here. I keep coming back!!!

he spankin the piano

Nope. On sale at Costco. $247,000.

yeah what a spoiled brat!

I'm not a fan of the sounds effects he made with the piano (like the banging at the beginning), but pianos are designed and can withstand a lot of abuse. You can punch the keys all you want, the piano will not care, especially a Bosendorfer Imperial M290.

I think he’s allowed to since he’s that good lol

Were you in Geneva ?

In Lucerne!
