    You can tell she absolutely loves music. The look on her face the entire time says it all
  • @Scherzo-mk4ih
    This is probably my fav so far from the drumeo and Pianote series. It’s just so impressive! She needed to figure out the song, figure out an approach to playing it, apparently memorize it and then have the dexterity to be able to play it… but also play it with a lot of emotion and character. It’s just insane!
  • @DJeMo
    Amazing how she clocked it by ear, then once she felt it and got cozy with it, she made it her own, absolutely astounding talent this lady
  • The definition of genius is going from A to C without doing B, she's literally boiled down so much complexity into simpler hand placement, while improving the arrangement. Outstanding!!
  • @abc3631
    She's got a super computer for a brain. Not only did she nail the song, but went beyond it and made it better. Unreal talent.
  • I’d pay money to just sit on a pillow experience this unfold in person. The way she lights up is infectious and incredible to watch.
  • @benoitgagnon636
    This is crazy the amount of hard work it takes to realize a feat like we just witnessed on that video. A master of its craft.
  • @marcelobaus
    I'm more impressed that she doesn't know this song.
  • @TheHouseBugDJ
    Watching her actually made me cry. Damn, she’s special - and I’ve bever heard of her before now
  • @melvynnoel8652
    This is jaw dropping and beautiful 💯Thank you Victoria and pianote for this Interstellar performance😅
  • @dabasheaba
    I actually love Victoria’s version of the song from Interstellar.. she’s a genius
  • @Ayeeromeobeats
    I started smiling because I saw myself at her level even tho I’m a beginner and it doesn’t seem impossible but rather fun to see someone play a song just by ear. 🙏🏽🔥 she’s a truly blessed musician.
  • @Jithinjohnson007
    To see someone who has mastered their craft to this degree! That’s so awesome!!!
  • I fail to understand how a professional piano player has never heard this piece before in so many years. Brilliant nonetheless
  • @kerryfiero1
    This is so fun to watch - just unbelievable that she figures it out by ear. Incredibly talented!!!
  • Very impressive... Victoria is a very talented pianist. Imagine giving her a week to practice. She would play it better than the original.
  • My man 😭 she is so good with everything 😫 she fr nailed it with her version. What a talented woman she is!
  • @ryanmoore4233
    Truly inspiring to watch you in your craft, Victoria. Your spirit shows through in this epic rendition of Cornfield Chase and the rest of your work. Y’all gotta check her out!
  • @kaavyavasu2691
    Unbelievable that she could arrange the whole piece on the spot. Yet more unbelievable is the fact that she hadn't heard the song before.
  • @johnsmith1706
    I literally get emotional watching these videos. To know that there are humans out in this world capable of producing such beautiful things makes my soul feel lighter. Brava to this woman. What. A. Magician.
