I made a Part 2!! 🍂 Autumn Leaves in the Styles of 10 MORE Classical Composers (Beethoven Debussy, Satie, Kapustin…) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7eWh85_0sraZJc.html

I struggle just to make Bach sound like Bach.

I really appreciate how you know the compositional styles of everyone and actually make the piece in the style of vs. sticking the tune into the middle of one of the composer’s pieces like a lot of these “in the style of” youtubers do.

Your interpretations of all those composers are totally on point, as if you’ve gotten into their heads and made them play the piece for us.

All these versions are great, but your own interpretation of the original is so beautiful. I sometimes come back just to listen to it

1) 1:09 - Bach 2) 1:36 - Mozart 3) 1:59 - Mendelssohn 4) 2:29 - Chopin 5) 2:58 - Liszt 6) 3:24 - Rachmaninoff 7) 4:00 - Ravel 8) 4:45 - Gershwin 9) 5:13 - Shostakovich 10) 5:41 - Philip Glass 6:35 - BONUS

This is why Nohre is so legend, she's so artfully creative w/ gorgeous emotive and stirring music that intrigues while enlightening one's mind. 🎶🎹🔥

This is genius level composition and shows what a deep understanding of compositional style Nahre has ! Brilliantly executed and very educational and insightful

This pianist has a wonderful understanding of music and how it can be presented. She is truly an artist.

wow the Philip Glass one was AMAZING. Also I like that you just put the word "suffering" on the Rachmaninoff segment

Unbelievable. The whole thing was amazing but the Liszt gave me chills. Nahre = genius.

Ms. Sol you are a musical genius yourself. Brilliant! ❤

All of these composers are looking down amazed by this performance ❤️

This is incredible Nahre! As a classically-trained jazz pianist, my mind is blown how you weaved the two worlds together with such perfection. Well done 👏

I’m sure some one else has said it, but your ability to compose all of these different versions in “the style of” shows how much you deeply and truly understand every composer you exhibit. I can’t help but think of insane amount of time and effort that has taken. Bravo!!! Love your videos!

The Rachmaninoff gave me chills, you absolutely have captured it!

Nahre demonstrates a magnificent understanding of the styles of these composers. Her playing is delightful. Subscribed

In addition to this amazing performance, I especially loved the captions describing the techniques you used to emulate each composer. The timing/editing made it so much easier to follow!

Awesome :D Please, do a video with how famous jazz pianists would interpret a classical piece ;)

I really don't listen much to classical music, I've listened to some popular pieces, and I'm very familiar with the song Autumn Leaves. I was smiling the entire time, thoroughly enjoying myself listening to the different manner the pieces were played based on those composers... It was educational, an eye opener, and was fun to listen to. Thank you. You're a magnificent pianist. ❤❤❤

This is absolute brilliance. We need more of this in the world these days. Thank you.

You are incredible at this. The Phillip Glass one was gorgeous. You should do a full song in that style.

Genius level achieved 🙌🏼 So much musicality and creativity in there, while on point at a next level. I had to go back and enjoy Liszt a few times. So good! I love this.

Several centuries of music culture in one video😃 This video inspiring so much. Each style sounds so cool!

The ability to play a piano at all is a mystery to a normal mortal like me, but this stuff is from another planet. As somebody remarked below, KZfaq at its best.

Those subtitles truly make me realize each composer's uniqueness. Like, Yes yes he does that. Truly talented all round classical and jazz keyboardist. You'll go places, Girl!

Just amazing. As always. As a musicologist, this should be a mandatory video for my students to learn about genre, style and manières of composers. Thanks again.

What a learning experience to listen to. Your talent and creativity runs off the charts. Thank you so much, Nahre.

I love the Autumn leaves and classical music. This was the best, and so accurate. Like teaching magician secrets. Bravo.

The Liszt one sounds like you crammed every Liszt-esc technique into 30 seconds 🤣 Also the humour of the last note being effectively the same but different names is hilarious! Genius composing

It almost doesn’t matter how faithful the pianist is to the mimicked composer ; the pianist adds a sweet style to all these variations and they’re just a pleasure to listen to.

That Rachmaninoff part was really pleasant to listen to

I will never listen to Autumn Leaves the same way again. I will watch it several times just to get a good idea of your descriptions for each composer. very entertaining.

It's absolutely fascinating how the mixture of tendencies of each composer really do make them sound "like themselves". The ending of your Ravel interpretation made me want to hear Autumn Leaves à la Erik Satie.

I loved Nahre version the most. This video is KZfaq at its finest!

I've probably learnt more in the last eight minutes, than in the last eight years of listening to classical and film music! What an amazing distillation of years of experience. Thank you, Nahre.

As a jazz guitarist (who plays some classical guitar and crosses genres quite a bit) this is really well-done. Your version is really first-rate! Thank You!

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT JOB! I can only imagine how much you worked on this!

As soon as you started the Bach rendition I started smiling and didn't stop the whole time. Also really liked the high notes on Liszt and all of Gershwin. Oh, and Philip Glass. All of it. Really amazing work.

Victor Borge couldn't have done better. Brought a smile to my face. Thanks.

I know the video length is short, but this really had to take TONS of time to create and practice. Not only that, but of course, you're drawing upon a lifetime of experience playing music from these composers. Hats off!

I looove the Ravel version! And as a classically trained pianist, I overall loved watching this.

That was stunning!! Your understanding of the composers and absolutely magical fingers punctuated with words like "Whimsical'", Glistening Broken Chords" and "Almost fragile" made for a phenomenal video!!! THANK YOU!!!

I am familiar with all but three composers. The concept of demonstrating the different composing styles by adapting one song to fit those styles is pure genius! Thank you for sharing your gift with us!

I just appreciate how much you have embodied each classical composer on how will they interpret it as if the original jazz piece travelled back in time and being reborn. Refreshing and very educational.

I really appreciate how you can clearly tell the style of each composer and the melody is still there! Nahre, you are a genius! I would love to hear a Debussy rendition!

This is one of the most educational videos on KZfaq! That you can demonstrate the style of each composer was amazing to hear and to see. Thank you for taking the time to add the descriptive captions. Really well done!!! Your talents and skills are astonishing! Thank you!!

OMG, I can definitely see each composer writing this melody in his own style! Can't event tell who is my favorite, 19 century - List, 20 - probably Rakhmaninov. Thank you for giant piece of amazing job you did!

"whimsical but slightly menacing"..... nice!

The Ravel and Shostakovich versions are very fascinating and intriguing for me. I love those. You portrayed elements of their music very excellently.

That was absolutely brilliant. You captured the style of all the composers perfectly - and the choice of Autumn Leaves was spot on. It has such a great melody and you turned it into a magical musical journey. Bravo!

As an alumni of Berklee College 1976, love your creativity, thank you

Brilliant work, Nahre. About the song from wikipedia and the interwebs: "Autumn Leaves" is a popular song and jazz standard composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945 with original lyrics by Jacques Prévert in French (original French title: "Les Feuilles mortes" - “Dead leaves”), and later by Johnny Mercer in English. The melody was influenced by a piece, "Rendez-vous", a ballet by Joseph Kosma written for Roland Petit, performed in Paris at the end of the Second World War, large parts of the melodies are exactly the same, which was itself borrowed partially from "Poème d'octobre" by Jules Massenet with lyrics by Paul Collin. The first commercial recordings of "Les Feuilles mortes" were released in 1950, by Cora Vaucaire and by Yves Montand. As a jazz standard, "Autumn Leaves" has accumulated more than a thousand commercial recordings. The song was recorded steadily throughout the 1950s by leading pop vocalists including Steve Conway (1950), Bing Crosby (1950), Nat King Cole (1955), Doris Day (1956), and Frank Sinatra (1957). It was also quickly adopted by instrumental jazz artists including Artie Shaw (1950), Stan Getz (1952), Erroll Garner and Ahmad Jamal (separately in 1955), Duke Ellington (1957), Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis, Vince Guaraldi (all 1958), and John Coltrane (1962, maybe earlier). Roger Williams made the song a number-one hit in the U.S. in 1955, the first piano instrumental to reach number one. Composer Terry Riley has written a contrafact of the song (1965), using the same principle of small repetitive cells of melody and rhythm first put in use in his breakthrough piece, In C (1964). In 2012, jazz historian Philippe Baudoin called the song "the most important non-American standard" and noted that "it has been recorded about 1400 times by mainstream and modern jazz musicians alone and is the eighth most-recorded tune by jazzmen." The song is heavily referenced in "La Chanson de Prévert", a song by Serge Gainsbourg.

How pretty is the Mendelssohn.....and I like the 'sinister' ending to the Liszt ! You are so clever, so talented to do this, and thanks for sharing it with us 😊

The interpretations are brilliant and gorgeous. (The descriptions-e.g., “pearly,” “whimsical but slightly threatening”-are enlightening and exactly on point.)

You made the piece "not jazz" in the most jazz way possible. This was a lot of fun!

This has made me cry. I am a pianist and I love to share beautiful piano moments with my beautiful dad, who is a brilliant pianist. Sadly, tonight is probably going to be his last night on this earth as his tired body finally gives way to cancer. How much we would he have loved to watch this together. Thank you so much - this is beautiful. Love from a very sad David in Australia 🙂

Absolutely magnificent, Nahre Sol. I particularly love the on-screen commentary-it’s like the musical equivalent of one’s favorite intrepid foodie’s review of choice dishes at the best restaurants! Thank you so much for these remarkable offerings. You are one of the greatest music teachers alive today.

This is an astonishing display of pianistic mastery of the highest plain. Miss Sol explores the labyrinthine technical possibilities of the piano covering a wide range of idioms. A truly breathtaking experience. Is it mere coincidence that she chose the same key as Liszt's Transendental Etude on the Paganini theme, La Campanella? G#minor. Not the easiest of keys. This is a musical monument, something in the line of what Alexei Kissin would play, only more imaginative. I am truly blown over. Thank you for sharing this precious moment. God bless.

OMG ! You gave me goosebumps ! Awesome ! You’re brilliant !

This Philip Glass rendition was just so SPOT-ON (as practically every one of them) But this last just... Ahhh... Just so damn Glass-esque! Left me completly spellbound.....

Thank you for explaining more about these composers by your interpretation than a hundred lectures could. (I still love the bare, minimalist original the most - it sends shivers down my spine.)

I'm not a musician, but a listener. Enjoyed your variations on "Autumn Leaves". As I watched, I called out, "do Gershwin, do Gershwin!"...and you did Gershwin! 🤩 Thanks, Nahre.

Your written comments on the style are both hilarious and downright savage at times, well done!

that ravel was perfection, 4:23 onwards especially is so spot on

Spectacular bonus there. It's just as impressive when jazz gets to let its classical side come out to play as the other way around.

Your version was my favorite!

That’s fantastic Nahre. You inspired me🙏🏻😊

Omg…LISTZ. Nailed it. That is both hilarious and perfection at the same time. 😂

That’s amazing how strong you are in knowledge of each composer style. And definitely put every pattern into the arrangement! That’s wonderful!!!

At times I was reminded of Keith Jarrett. Been thinking about him a lot and when I ask if anyone I know knows him...I get blank looks. People really seem to not know one of the greatest pianists in recent history. This week I checked my local Library and they had ONE CD from about the 100 he put out! Anyways...great job here.

I am full of admiration such wonderful improvisation's Nahre Sol! Brava and Brava!!!🙂🙂🙂

Oh, I love your beautiful fingers dancing on the piano keys. I could not only listen to you playing, but just watching your beautiful hands for hours.

I love the description for Shostakovich, “like a dark circus.” I can think of several of his symphonic movements to which this could apply.

I love this. She is such a talented musician to be able to hear and play the sometimes subtle differences in players across centuries. Just musically amazing.

each composer feels like a different personality and some of them remind certain friends of mine. its really cool

Our professor built our first music composition class around your video, so I guess you’re absolutely great

During those 7 Minutes i cheered, laughed and cried more than i did this whole year. I can hardly describe what kind of magic you have there, or genius, and I don't even know if I wanna thank you for hitting my emotions so hard, but let me express my greatest respect for you, your art, your work - and thank you so, so much for sharing it with us!

This was incredible. My favourite one yet. The Bach and Rachmaninoff made me laugh out loud with how accurate they were! Loved it.

YAYyyy! Bravo!!! I hope you can compose your own classical music! I am so proud of you in advance! My name is Rich! Make a Rich violin concerto when you are ready!!!!

❤❤❤❤,the sound 🔊 is so soothing. Thanks

“suffering” 😂 I adore playing Rachmaninoff’s piano music and think you did such a great job capturing the feeling of his compositions (and the others, too).

Holy crap that Liszt interpretation was insane! Fair play to you Nahre 👏

No TV in your house growing up huh? Absolutely brilliant ❤

Mesmerizing. Only by comparing one piece in all styles did I realize the actual vast distinctions.

This is such a cool idea executed to perfection. I really liked the Bach one and the Liszt one the most. It's funny that the oldest composer felt the closest to the original.

This sounds beautiful, I would *love* to hear more pieces in even more styles. She did an incredible job.

I listen in awe, with envy!

watching you play piano is so much fun!

Marvelous playing and artistry as always. This needs a part 2! Proposed composers: Scarlatti, Haydn, Beethoven, Clara Schumman, Albéniz, Scriabin, Florence Price, Kapustin, Ginastera, Gabriela Lena Frank

i just love these composers' syles videos!

Brilliant. Thank you. I'm just another ear taught guitar player.... Who started out as a kid on piano. Dad sold the piano, but my sister had a guitar. I didn't apply reading to guitar because I didn't have to. I got good at it, actually made a living at it for 10 years... I recently bought a electric piano, with the intention to relearn how to read, and play, and learn Chopin waltzes.... Thanks for the inspiration.

WOW - I am beyond impressed!!! Fabulous job!

I'm only at Bach and can already tell, this is just fantastic, bravo! Chapeau l'artiste !!!

I always enjoy how you can describe each composer’s style so well.

A timeless and universally known and loved song.

Just beautiful! I love how well you capture Liszt!

Nahre always delivers! This is an interesting exploration though: it gives us a basis to easier understand each composer not only based on the general stylistic choices made during their respective eras but their personal preferences/choices as well. Would definitely love to see other pieces of music of varying styles reinterpreted this way and learn but can barely imagine the insane amount of effort put in to this. Thank you, Nahre!

Hands down my favorite "in the style of" exploration you've ever done! Each version was SO distinctive and your text overlay is incredibly informative. Loved all of them , but found the chord choices for Ravel and your own piece most moving. I love that, comparatively, Liszt sounds utterly spastic! 😂 Thanks!

Brilliant! And to play in G# minor - it's not easy! I could hear these composers without even looking at the screen. You are very talented!
