heres the website. http://gprime.net/video/blindfoldedmariopianist2.php

has anybody heard about this guy? he has written the Super Mario music for the piano. at one point in the video you cant even see where his hands are gonig! he plays blindfolded, and even physically backwards in another video. if you're not inspired after watching this video, you're inhumane! by the way, this gives us more of an outside look of other music besides classical. i use to be stuck on classical music but after hearing this i imagine what other things would sound like on the piano! whats cool is that i got to talk to him and i felt like i just talked to a star!

Crikey...

sounds like mozart to me.....

wowie, he is fab!!!

Did anyone dowload the music? I looked at it, kind of laughed and put it away for a few years time when I can actually more than grade 2/3 stuff

I've seen that before. Quite amazing.

Hmmm. If you want to see impressive technique, try this:

That video was quite boring, although I have to say, I enjoyed the last minute or so

mozart could play the piano ( or you call it a harpsichord) blind-folded... when he's young

Hi Dave,

That last minute was great. Do you know what piece it was? It sounded a bit like Rachmaninoff to me.

Hi Amber,

All of the pieces were Scriabin preludes, I think the last is op. 11 no. 14
btw I was talking about the Super Mario video when I said that the video was boring except for the last minute - although the last minute of each video is arguably the most exciting part!

It's the Chopin etude snippetts at the start that are so impressive in that video, those thirds are crazy!

Hi Dave. Is that you playing, or a friend of yours?

He makes it look quite glamorous. Very encouraging
