Not everybody knows how Hard This is

I love how the guy in the red shirt immediately recognised the piece and knew it. Look at his hand :D

Huge respects to the people who spent 8 minutes listening to a random guy playing a beautiful piece

He actually found the only piano in tune in all Paris 😂😂

Its like every pianist that passed couldn't help but practice along with him....

You work here? *No.* What do you do then? *I am-* *I was a pianist.*

Very difficult piece to perform, you zoned out the loud noise, did great on the dynamics, and focused on the beauty Chopin created. Amazing, thank you for posting.

the guy in the red shirt can play the piano I can tell his hands are twitching

People can probably not tell the difficulty level between this and fur Elise💀

5:58 a violinist passing by thinking if he should join him or not

I will never understand how someone hear this and don't stop. Few times in your life you will hear something similar. Fantastic interpretation.

And my boyy played it from memory, massive respect

I'm no pianist but if I were a pilot I'm gonna miss that flight

this piece isn’t as hard as it looks... it’s *harder*

Holy crap props to the crowd, for not clapping at the wrong time. Everyone liked that

You can see that the guy with classes in the background for sure can play piano xD

2:05 man of great culture. Respect 👌

This piece has more endings than The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

this piano is so quiet. Also i admire how released his hands are.

The red guy and the guy with the bag are definitely pianists, and they definitely know the whole piece. Their hands are so accurate in the motion, and they were legit on the right rhythm. You can literally see the guy with the bag knowing when the piece ended

there’s something about such a beautiful piece being played in the chaos of a bustling airport, while the entire world goes on without you.

5:48 respect to that guy signaling people to quiet down

Those two guys with white and red shirt know whats up. Their hands followed him along lmao

He must be on his way to Chopin piano competition

I just want to say I have probably rewatched this rendition legitimately over 100 times, something about public performances of these classical masterpieces just makes listening more enjoyable than typical concert-like performances of them (although those are great too) getting to see the average person where some people may recognize the piece while others just admire the performance and sound that they were hearing among the chaos. I truly thank you for uploading this, probably my favorite piano cover on youtube not even exaggerating.

06:44 that sleeping kid when grow a little older "mom, i wanna be a pianist... i don't know, since i was little i had this Chopin ballade on my head and i just don't know why. To be a pianist might be my destiny after all" 🗣🎹

I love how pianists are talking about how hard playing this is while we Your Lie in April fans are crying in the background.

0:00 - 0:06 Ah yes, the good old days, where you could embrace a brother

You can hear the little boy say “wow” @ 5:20 as he walks past

0:00 what a manly greeting

if he were playing river flows in you everyone would stop and a massive crowd would gather. So sad this world...

Congratulations to the young pianist for performing one of the most beautiful and most difficult pieces in the piano repertoire!! ... Chopin completed the composition of this piece when he was just 25 years old!! ....

7:00 till the end, this part always gives me chills, like dudeeeeeeeeeeee

who else’s favorite part is 5:04 every time i hear this part i also hear kaori happily plucking her violin with kousei

The guy in the red shoes and black & white striped shirt on the left, when the piece reaches the coda (7:06) he starts smiling cause he knew shit was gonna be epic AFFFF :D, wonderful performance!!!

Starting to learn this piece, wish me luck 😀

Incredibly flawless performance in such a crowded location.... Bravo

Love how all the buff chads most likely know this piece and stay and listened

If I were at the airport to witness this in person, I would consider this one the most spectacular things that I would have witnessed in my life!

5:22 lil dude just barked at him

I shed tears every time I hear this piece. First heard it in a Music History class in college, we watched Vladamir Horowitz play it and I was completely mesmerized. I always come back to this piece when I just need to feel music straight to my soul. This was masterfully played, and in a loud, busy airport no less. Glad some people had the time to stop and watch you play. If it were me there, I might've missed my flight 😂

thats my dream piece, hopefully will manage to play this one day, thank you. i would be thrilled to listen to this live

This is a young man with substance. What a decaying culture we’re experiencing around the globe when something as amazing as this performance can go relatively unnoticed. Bravo to this gentleman!

2:05 guy in red the only true one who stood there until the end. Wherever he is I hope he’s doing well

I cried all the way thru this. Here we have this beautiful young man playing one of the greatest pieces of music ever written and there is too much noise and commotion to hear it well. Bravo to the pianist for his concentration!

It’s good to see people actually appreciating this piece of music (1000th comment)

0:01 *CLAP*

Chopin still alive ...... This crowd is jus proof

This piece being played in a fast paced airport must be a breath of fresh air to hear.

心の琴線に触れ涙が出ました。 動画でここまで涙が出たバラード 第1番ト短調23は初めてです。 是非、いつの日か生演奏を聴いてみたいです。 It touched the strings of my heart. Ballad No. 1 in G Minor 23 is the first time I've cried so much in a video. I cried many tears. I would love to see a live performance.

ok this is epic

I would even pay to hear it live.!!

Chopin would be proud :')

Every Your Lie In April fans crying right now.

I love how the guy in red spent most of his time only listening rather watching

the crowd doesn't know that they are listening to an incredible performance...

Doth my eyes and ears deceive me??? An in tune public piano 😱

I as a beginner pianist, couldn't bring myself to just walk past someone playing a piano like that. Then again, not everyone likes music from the romantic, or classic era, ... . I still think it should be appreciated a bit more these days, but hey, you can only really appreciate these kind of things once you are involved in the topic, or know more about it, and not everyone is interested in piano, or music in general.

I see by now you've improved greatly with this, much braver than I would ever be. Well done to you for holding nerve not being intimidated by the large amount of people in that airport walking around

That’s a lucky crowd!! I wanna hear it live too 😭

Wow, I was enthralled by his playing and the music. Even with all the noise and the people moving about; I was not distracted; instead I enjoyed watching all of them. The music, for me, matched the mood of the airport and the busy people, it was as if a scene from a movie. I was not bored a second. Awesome playing, Keep it up!!

Like a whisper, like a show of affection, so gently... The sound of Chopin's ballade emanating so sorrowfully ~shigatsu wa kimi no uso

I wish I was there. Would've stopped in a heartbeat to listen. Bravo! Make it big!

the 2 guys in the back with the glasses definetely play the piano

Chopin is the GOAT

Sucks to see people walk by and not bat an eyelid at such talent and skill. This piece isnt easy, and you can hear it. It's such a beautiful piece.

Incredible performance and with such a difficult piece! This is true dedication

biggest chad move to sit down at that piano and decide to bust out ballade no. 1, massive balls dude

Possibly the best piece of music ever written.

Chopin would have been proud

Loved how the dude with the round glasses was playing along with him in the back😭

Music is very powerful. My dad played piano for over 50 years of his life and watching this reminded me of the evenings he would practice. I don’t doubt that the people who stopped to watch were also moved by this in some way or another. Thank you.

This was so good. I had to watch it more than once.

Learning this piece, got the first section memorized so far, this guy inspires me 🎹 and he’s so chill compared to me, I get all jittery when I play

props to the guy with the bag playing mental piano and helping him out

I smiled so hard when the guy with the red shirt stopped to listen and moved his fingers to the piece

“i met a girl under full-bloomed cherry blossoms and my fate has begun to change”

I would've started crying, it reminds me of your lie in april 😭

6:43 the kid be like bruh

He's so good. Ballade 1 is one of my favorite piano pieces so I've heard this a lot. And not only his technique but his interpretation are brilliant!

The longer you watch the more you can recognize who plays piano in the crowd Specifically the guy in a red shirt, another in sunglasses, and the lady that joined at 4:54

When I am in a bad mood I always watch this video. Why?!!

The fact that he actually puts so much passion on this piece makes it actually more enjoyable that many concert pianists playing this piece out there...

Man I felt the spirit of Chopin. You have incredible sound. Truly a gift.

I legit cried listening to this. Beautiful sound, beautiful performance.

It would be so difficult to be concentrated under this situation. Bravo!!!

that coda was amazing 👍 👍

props to those two dudes playing the air piano

thank I'm not died before I listened this marvelous piece of art.

he was on fire in most of the time but he became fire at 6:50 ❤️❤️

My favorite piece from chopin. Thanks for playing this piece

This is so beautiful, many thanks to you for taking time to share it with us ! I have so much respect for pianists who can play in this kind of environment, the level of concentration it requires is huge.

I'd wish i had a piano, i'm a guitarist but it's just incredible how a piano can make you feel, there are just no words to explain its beauty

Jaw dropping performance 🎭 BRAVO 👏 🙌 👌 👍 😳 TO YOU young man.....

Yeah yeah you played it perfectly but can we appreciate that dap in the beginning. That connection was impressive

This piece is brighter than Rolex.

BRAVO! absolutely incredible, amazing, beautiful performance congratulations man

This piece still gives me goosebumps, especially when it is so well played as in this case ❤️

The coda at the end traumatized every piano student.

Without any preparation (or unshowed), that's some good playing
