Imitating Famous Pianists

[pencilart3]

This is kind of like the one I did a few days ago imitating other members, this one is famous pianists! (by request of dcstudio ) The name of the pianist is listed next to the file. If you have any other pianists you want me to do I will be happy to make one for them. Enjoy

You have found your calling it seems

[ajlongspiano]

Glad to know I can play the C Major prelude better than Argerich XD

[pencilart3]

You have found your calling it seems

yeah... too bad you can't make a living off of it this is way to fun

Glad to know I can play the C Major prelude better than Argerich XD

Yeah, have you seen her youtube video? It sounds about like mine

[glennross]

Haha, sounds good. Here's my Gould imitation.

[glennross]

By the way, I missed the Gould humming...

[philolog]

Funny stuff. I thought the Gould imitation was spot on. I don't listen to Lang Lang enough to hear how accurately you imitate his style but still it was quite amusing. As to Argerich, I'd say you captured something of her tempestuousness and with regard to Pollini, I'm afraid that the only recordings I have of him don't feature his singing, so I'll have to take your word for that little bit "extra."

Anyway, top marks for some inspired clowning, which requires both perception and good fingers.

Yeah, I don't know why the humming didn't come out as strongly on Gould's as it did on pollini's Just turn up the volume.

Lol thanks And I chose etude 10/3 because on the recording I have, he is humming terribly! And out of tune!!

[kypiano]

Have you been in a quire?

[kypiano]

OMG You are a really good imitator. Spot on for Lang Lang

I had a teacher at a festival, and she was a VERY QUICK AND ACCURATE IMITATOR. Most teachers exaggerate when they want to point out something you're doing weirdly, but she did not need to.

[kypiano]

Imitate Pierre Buzon. PLEASE

[kypiano]

If you've ever done burpees,then you know the sensation of listening to the imitation of Argerich. I wonder if Emily's done burpees?

[pencilart3]

OMG You are a really good imitator. Spot on for Lang Lang

ha ha thanks

Imitate Pierre Buzon. PLEASE

Never heard him play but I will try for my next round

[dcstudio]

So who was that who said I don't suggest anything cool around here? 

Noah... that was freakin brilliant!!  the humming on the Gould was priceless... I laughed so hard I cried.. OMG

and the Lang Lang...again...it was spot on.   "Arghh"erich  and the Pollini, too...the humming.. again I totally lost it.

you can make a living off this.. you sure can--maybe not this exact way...but you are a smart guy and I bet you could figure out how to turn this special skill of yours into a paycheck.. 

just give it time... you will think of something.

[pencilart3]

Haha thanks DC, glad I could bring a smile to your face! And yes, for the record:

DCSTUDIO THOUGHT OF THIS IDEA!

[vansh]

The one problem that I see is...the Lang Lang one seems incomplete without video 

[pencilart3]

That is true, but I didn't want to look like a complete turd! haha

[chopinlover01]

That's part of the act, Noah
Still, your singing on Pollini's brought me to tears 

In all seriousness, this is quite good

[pencilart3]

Surely you could...humour always sells.

[pencilart3]

Yeah, but normal classical pianists make hardly enough money to eat rice and beans every day as it is!

[outin]

That is the point. Don't be normal!

[dcstudio]

Noah this is your calling... these are great.  you are going to be the next Victor Borge I think.

I had to listen again... the moaning.. it's hilarious -- tears..

outin is right HUMOR ALWAYS SELLS.. especially when it's actually funny.

Now you have to do a video and imitate Maxim... is that how you spell it.. and you have to wear the leather on your hand. lol

[kawai_cs]

That was hilarious, especially Pollini:-)

[kypiano]

That is true, but I didn't want to look like a complete turd! haha

Asian turds

[dcstudio]

I hereby officially request that you do a Victor Borge imitation .. with a vid.

[rubinsteinmad]

My boyfriend is Asian.

[kypiano]

My boyfriend is Asian.

That's not very surprising.

[kypiano]

That's not very surprising.

Well, I guess it IS surpring that you even have a boyfriend, even though it is only an Asian one.

[rubinsteinmad]

Well, I guess it IS surpring that you even have a boyfriend, even though it is only an Asian one.

[dogperson]

Well, I guess it IS surpring that you even have a boyfriend, even though it is only an Asian one.

Are the insults and the obvious racism necessary on a piano forum?  The answer is "No".  

[rubinsteinmad]

Well, the thing is, Lang Lang is one of the uglier Asians.

or is it "Driving Miss Daisy" and you are studying Civil Rights

[pencilart3]

Oh boy... driving miss daisy... a high energy, fast paced movie.
