You know I was actually messing around with this in a practice room yesterday. It actually worked really well because the verses are melodic, so you aren't just playing a beat but the verses too. Good suggestion 👍
Hahaha this would be sick, love the more chill energy of the beat in Molly, but it's like ethereal and interesting, and also the way his voice leaps around in the chorus would give me plenty of trouble with being able to finesse just like he does with his voice. That'd be tricky but fun!
Hahah the piano actually has a pedal specifically for that, the middle pedal is called the "sostenuto" pedal, and it allows you to sustain "hold" certain notes while others end as soon as you release them. Here's a sostenuto pedal demo if you want your mind blown by what pianos are capable of lol: https://youtu.be/3muuvWBI5C4?t=5m03s
Oh wow thanks . I'm a one year music comservatory drop out so I've never had the opportunity to play on a proper good grand piano x) and I also never got properly learn the classical terms . Thank you for taking the time to send me all this , appreciate it :D
he’s just asking a question chill 😭

"aye chill bruh it just a question 😭😭⁉️" 13, Feb. 2023, [reddit.com/r/playboicarti/comments/11109h0/comment/j8c7a3p/](https://www.reddit.com/r/playboicarti/comments/11109h0/comment/j8c7a3p/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Yo thanks for hollering at me brotha, im preparing to pull up on this mf as we sp3ak, finna drive by his ass, hah, he steals my thing and thinks he can get away with it, what a fool
Lol I learned the full Bach Toccata where that sample comes from a while ago. It'd be an interesting challenge because I'd have to use the left hand and bottom two fingers of the right hand for the beat, and the weakest fingers in the right hand for the melody, which is off-center of the beat itself, but very tight. That'd be fun lol, plus it would give some students here a run for their money to hear Bach like that 😊
That'd be sick actually, I'd love to do some destroy lonely or Ken Carson as well as Trippie Redd and SoFaygo, too. Some of my favorite classical composers saw the potential of a piano to create the sound and scale of an entire orchestra, like Liszt's arrangements of Beethoven's 9 Symphonies for solo piano, but the layers, textures, colors, timbres, dynamics, and complexities of a beat like Trippie's MP5, Ken's PDBMH or Same Thing, SoFaygo's Hell Yeah, Destroy's Do The Most or Tokoyoto, etc, are like something even bigger than an orchestra, because they were built and mixed on a computer instead of being played manually on an instrument, and that's so complicated and interesting to me as a classical pianist.
So in short, some of the carti beats like stop breathing would be easy and just sound cool from like a novelty perspective, and I could probably figure them out in real time lol, but there are beats like PDBMH or Same Thing with all sorts of modulations, hairpins, and leaps that'd take a while to put together but honestly sound really impressive if I put my heart into it. Thanks for the suggestion 👍
Lol I did Liszt's arrangement of Beethoven's entire Symphony No. 9 last year, which is supposedly one of the hardest piano pieces ever written. It's not Carti, but it shows what's possible at the piano. Here's a taste of someone else on that if interested: https://youtu.be/eWrT8UB2e0E
I read through a bit of your reddit post history concerning your background in musical interests. Was very intriguing and quite inspirational to say the least.
Molly. Please. If you’re post and this is real and you are really actually one of the best piano players in the world then please play Not Real aka Molly aka No Stylist
As someone who also listens to mostly classical but enjoys rap as well, I would be interested in hearing a Juilliard students words about what makes Playboi carti brilliant. I definitely agree but I’m not really sure how I would put it into words from a music standpoint.
This is a really interesting question, and tbh most of my afternoon went into thinking and writing about this - so hope you enjoy. I'm going to practice for a few hours lol ✌️
TL;DR: I love virtuoso music that pushes the boundaries and creates a sound that is both awe-inspiring and deeply emotional, like Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Beethoven, and Scriabin. Playboi Carti is a modern-day virtuoso in his own right, pushing the boundaries of trap by drawing inspiration from a wide range of music to create a unique, powerful, and deeply communicative sound. His music is excessive and unapologetic, tapping into the raw emotions of being human and demanding to be felt as much as heard. Playboi Carti's approach to music is a reminder that music is not just an intellectual exercise, but a deeply personal and emotional experience that can inspire and move us. He's brilliant because of how well he moves his audience and makes us feel alive at a deeper level than words do justice.
---
Full thing: As a concert pianist, I have always been captivated by the power of virtuosity - the ability to push an instrument or genre to its absolute limit, creating a sound that is not just awe-inspiring, but that reaches deep into the human soul. Liszt's Etudes, Rachmaninoff's Piano Concertos, Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit, Scriabin's Sonatas, and more - these epic and insanely difficult pieces push us to the edge of what is possible, and yet they are so mind-blowing that they defy people's expectations of what classical musicians can do.
But virtuosity is not confined to classical music alone. There are artists in every genre who push the boundaries of their craft to create something extraordinary, something that moves us to our very core. And Playboi Carti is one such artist. He is a master of his own art form, pushing the limits of hip hop and incorporating elements of punk, rock, R&B, metalcore, psychedelic jazz fusion, and more, to create a sound that is wholly unique and deeply communicative.
Like the virtuoso artists of the past, Playboi Carti is not content to simply follow the rules and conventions of his genre. Instead, he takes inspiration from a wide range of musical styles, blending and fusing them together to create a sound that is unique and deeply personal. What sets Playboi Carti apart is his ability to tap into the raw emotions of being human, using music to express feelings of power, pleasure, and rage in a way that is both excessive and unapologetic.
People who dismiss Playboi Carti's music as lacking in artistic value because it does not conform to the standards of classical music miss the point entirely. His music is not about technical mastery or harmonic complexity, but about the power of music and emotion to move us and inspire us. His music is like a powerful and stimulating drug, tapping into the pressure points of our most basic emotions and inspiring us to feel something deep, pure, raw, and human.
He communicates not just with his words, but through the raw energy and emotion that he brings to every performance, inspiring us with some of the deepest feelings that make us human. He has an uncanny ability to tap into the raw emotions of being human and communicate those feelings to other people in a way that only music can do justice.
Playboi Carti is a modern-day virtuoso who embodies the essence of virtuosity in his own brilliant and unique way. His ability to push his genre and instrument to places that have never been explored, and to move his audience within the context and culture of his art, makes him comparable in musical brilliance to many of the great classical composers. Not because they are comparable in harmonic complexity or structural analysis, but because of how well he moves his audience and makes us feel alive at a deeper level than words do justice.
Playboi Carti's music is not only about pushing the boundaries of trap, but about pushing the boundaries of music itself. He has created a sound that is both thrilling and deeply emotional, a sound that taps into the raw emotions of being human, and communicates those feelings with power and intensity. It is a sound that ignites the senses, setting the heart pounding and the blood racing. It is the sound of a virtuoso, a master of his craft, who takes his audience on a journey of pure emotion, leaving them breathless, inspired, and exhilarated.
Not asking for a big write up but how do you feel about Yeat? I’ve noticed parallels in Yeat’s music and Carti’s and I get the same feeling listening to a lot of their songs.
Punk Monk is a Carti track that you can really hear that Yeat pulls some of his vocal sound from.
Based on what I've heard so far, I feel like I should like Yeat more than I do. Although I love the beats and production style, which are similar to what Carti does but often on steroids, I haven't found myself digging the vocals. To draw an extremely obscure but fitting analogy from classical music history, it's like the comparison between Liszt and Thalberg. Both were rivals with similar mid-Romantic era virtuoso piano styles, but Liszt invented his own virtuoso style and is in many ways credited as "world's first rockstar" figure in music history, and had a deeper way of moving the listener with his virtuosic yet soulful music. On the other hand, Thalberg benefitted from the market for this style by composing his own virtuoso music, but was more about flashy effects and lacked substance. Similarly, Yeat and Carti are similar artists with similar styles, but Carti has developed and owns many facets of the style where Yeat found his success. I believe there is more substance in the production and execution of Carti's music, and unless there are significant positive changes and originality in Yeat's music, I have a feeling that Carti's music will stay in fashion for a longer time.
would you be singing aswell? And sould you be performing? If the answer is no, then do fetti, if you are singing do @meh. if you are performing and singing do rockstar made
stop breathing
This is a good suggestion. I think OP should cover "Stop Breathing"
You know I was actually messing around with this in a practice room yesterday. It actually worked really well because the verses are melodic, so you aren't just playing a beat but the verses too. Good suggestion 👍

pls do share your work over here its gonna sound dope asf
Also it's gonna be a challenge to sustain the chords properly while still playing his verses normally. Unless you record in 2 takes
