The MOST Viewed Public Piano Performances! | Pianist Reacts

Haha! So cool. Thanks for the review and comments. Cool that you have seen me somewhere on Youtube and not just for this react video! Yes, that was 4 years ago. It wasn't staged, I was actually passing (I had played the other piano that is here too) and it was free so I thought I would play something and then just carried on. By the end there was a huge crowd and I was going to play Bohemian Rhapsody (I had played another Queen one before) and then the gentleman interrupted me and asked if I could play it. And I learnt it by ear, I create my own piano arrangements by ear as I am lucky to have perfect pitch too. But it's a bit "robotic" as i did not really understand it as much, but after watching the movie and following the music and background a lot more, it's a more expressive now! Anyway, thank you and great channel!

Peter Buka has some amazing covers

6:46 Wow, that sounds so good 😮

"Throwing yourself around" while playing music to me is a fine line. Certain people when I see do it, it pulls me into the performance. Other people (Marcin, the guitarist comes to mind immediately) just come off as full of themselves.

Excellent video though! I doubt I'd ever have the amount of passion and dedication required to develop this level of analysis and skill.

Haha, when you're talking about doing the "emoting" while playing during the Bohemian Rhapsody video, I got a huge flashback to my elementary school piano teacher who would do really exaggerated stuff like that and it always made me giggle. Which is probably partly why he did it. 😂
Loving these videos, I'm getting back to piano after a break of like 17 years. I'm actually watching a bunch of these videos while waiting for my digital piano to arrive in the mail (hopefully it'll be here on Monday). I really cannot wait!!

Yay! I love your videos Matthew! They're always hugely entertaining, educational & remarkably varied ✨️

Your reaction videos are always the best 😊

Nice! I love your videos and you are definetly an underrated pianist. Keep up your work!

Great commentaries 😂 very entertaining 😊

One of the greatest channel ever i'm in love with ur content keep going and let us enjoy thank uou ❤🎉😊

his reaction to that information

I can just see you being the top pianist YouTube channel in a few months

I have watched Dr K live at St Pancras and he is amazing, along with Terry Miles, and Ladyva is also great.

We have a piano at our college cafeteria and sometimes I just want to sit there enjoying the music… other times I put my noise cancelling on cause I’m on a tight deadline 😭

I'm enjoying your videos a lot.

What keyboard do you play on yourself when recording these videos?

Your video reminded me of "when a professional musician sits down at a public piano" on YT. I'm sure youve probably already seen it but it would be good to see a reaction video from you (if you havent got one already).

would love to see you improvise at St Pancras! I walk through there sometimes but have never seen anyone playing.

Hey Matt, i really want you to try and play the piano of fire dance of luna choir piece. It's extremely hard and i really want you to try it

Really like you style of play on the boogie-woogie song. Love to hear more.

Lol😂 the performance 🤪🫠
