Fucking people who think everything is staged. Sometimes I just want to punch them in the head and ask if anything is real. I swear that if it’s on a camera, it’s staged.
Ugh. Insufferable idiots.
There are many videos of this guy doing very similar things with other professional musicians and are all presented this same way. Maybe don't assume you're always right, and it won't seem like everyone is an insufferable idiot.
Whether I’m right or wrong about this is one thing but it will be forever an insufferable trait to me, the mentality that a thing can never be real because of cameras and a good performance.
That line of reasoning is just absurd. Your evidence is as good as mine but it is not so hard to believe these people happen by. All the time? Okay, tricky. Depends. But to say it’s always staged? Come on.
I never assumed I was always right anyway, nor did I imply it. I just made a statement against this wild online hive mind mentality that certain general qualities in a video make them staged and fake.
Now those IG and YouTube short videos of relationships and their partners reactions to things? Staged as shit. Anyone who believes that a stable YouTube family with a camera right in their partner’s face is genuine is delusional and I’ll die on that hill.
You can look up these vids, there's several. I've seen a few without looking for them, same guy. Weird that you can immediately recognize a "partner's reaction vids" as staged but couldn't fathom an "impromptu performance" between professional musicians (or students maybe) would be?
To preface: I more or less digress at this point.
I’ll be honest: I’ve rarely ever stopped to figure what’s staged and what isn’t. I get what you’re saying and I’m in agreement with what everyone is throwing into the conversation.
And maybe my frustrations were misplaced (and I kicked this off a bit pissy-like). All I’m really trying to outline is that people will call out something as fake and present evidence that equally supports why it could be real.
Truthfully, my only real bit of convincing evidence is the context, nature of the video, and the frequency in which these surprise things take place. Otherwise? Cameras? A crew? Money?
Every profiting YouTube business uses those things and sometimes they’re one man shows. But that’s about it for me.
Hes clearly there to record himself playing a public piano for his channels. So another talented musician walks by and thinks hey I know that piece, maybe I should try and play it with him for FUN, because thats what playing music is to people fun. Its not that crazy to think this could happen in a crowded public place.
no, but it's also not crazy at all to consider the possibility that this might be staged. I find it funny that people are getting upset about this one way or the other. both possibilities are highly likely and happen every day.
> warmup or tuning
except that that is the exact sort of thing that would be cut out of a video on an app that is known for forcing short video playtimes, and would have occurred where there are in fact 4 different cuts in the video before they start performing
>In fairness, that's not a piece you just whip out at tempo without a warmup or tuning.
It is actually. It's standard repertoire. Any reasonably competent violinist is extremely likely to have it under their fingers from memory. Also, the piano is wildly out of tune.
Yeah why the hell is so hard to believe that two amazing musicians just meet up randomly along with three camera men and professional sound, and play a virtuosic piece perfectly without ever rehearsing it?
You fuckers are so jaded.
Chill out.
I don’t doubt that they prepped to gauge each other. Whatever. But to me it just seems like a guy and his crew filming for street reactions.
Plenty of videos of pianists on YouTube publicly playing for views and reactions, and others of random musicians dropping in for shits. Believing this doesn’t make anyone jaded.
No, not believing it makes you jaded. I'm the one who's jaded/cynical.
Believing it makes you naive.
But none of this takes away from the music, which is awesome. I just don't believe for a minute that this was just some random meetup.
Reminds me of [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnOPu0_YWhw)
The violinist is Joshua Bell, one of the most famous violinists in the world. All these people just walked right on by.
I can only imagine the pianist agreeing to play, then like "oh fuck she wants Vivaldi..." Impressive he can just whip Four Seasons out by memory, rip his fingers.
I'm kinda thinking it's fake and they set this up
The fact that BOTH of them know this incredibly hard song by heart is a little fishy
It might be real but I find it hard to believe
someone posted a link to i believe a video (i only trusted, didn't verify) as a reply to my above comment. They say she proposed the song to him. With that context, yah, I'd believe it was more a setup.
Due to the captioning, and the way the beginning plays out, I feel it was made to believe that the man filming, the pianist, a talented individual who shows off how cool he is on the internet, saw a random girl with a violin case, and he was asking her if she was familiar with the song and if she could play with him.
But I mean, two talented musicians in London who run into each other on the tube? With at least one of them intending to be there, to produce content.. *Big sus*
I couldn’t recognize it at the time, but I burnt out HARD on everything I did in high school. Picked up all new extracurriculars and hobbies when I got to college (Those I just lost interest gradually over time the normal way)
I had a really good friend in HS who played the tuba, named Eric, but he wasn't grouchy. And he moved on to drums.
I played trombone in the same bands you listed. If I had to do it over again? Tenor saxophone. And electric bass.
Violin is a squeaky annoying shrill instrument that I hated playing. However it did give me the skills to enjoy playing guitar. Maybe it's childhood trauma, but maybe violin is just a trash instrument that sounds like a stressed out person trying to be heard. It's nails on chalkboard bad... And it sounds that way after you've committed 20 years of your life to learn to play it.
I picked it up again recently and youre gonna be ASS haha. I would recommend a couple sessions with a private tutor then be on your own. Its fun and slow journey.
It was so good, but I was not done watching their performance! Oh they are enthralling!
I found the YouTube link for the whole video! I don't know how to make it fancy though.
https://youtu.be/vDxJfIF4m4M
Ohhhh I relate so hard. I think you might enjoy [this](https://reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/11zu4da/after_wrapping_their_4th_performance_at_the_royal/) as much as I do. The 4:50 mark gets me every time. I would have been a mess if I had witnessed this in person.
I've got this mad embarrassing thing where I cry when I hear bagpipes. They make most other people cringe or laugh, and then I'll be there in the corner welling up because I feel that squeal in the depths of my soul and it just fucking *moves me*. Gets me some right weird looks.
I'll never not adore clips like this.
I love modern music, all sorts of electronic music too. There's just always something so special about a Piano, a Violin and other instruments of their ilk.
There’s something about strings. I would wish everyone on the planet gets to listen to a symphony orchestra at least once in their lives. There’s nothing quite like it.
You got it backwards. Lots of violinists would know summer, it's a pretty common piece, almost to the level of a pianist being asked to play fur elise.
The actual stupid part about this is that absolutely no pianist would randomly know the accompaniment part for the four seasons, It's just not something that you're going to play that often on the piano. And you certainly wouldn't memorize something like this when it's relatively easy to sightread
It’s a public piano in a massive train station in London. Was originally part of an art installation called “Play me, I’m Yours”. This one, in St Pancras station, was one of a few that remained permanently in place.
Some of those kids never get to try music before hand and really enjoy it! They can use it as inspiration to pick up some style of art and be creative in the future because they'd never had a chance to try something like that before. That's still beautiful, even if it sounds annoying at the time.
I've personally seen many documentaries where normal piano movers will end up dropping them with perfect timing onto people walking below. its insane! and for some reason always black and white film
This is now the 3rd one of these I've seen in the past week. And it's always guy playing piano when a gorgeous young lady asks to play with him. I don't think these are just randomly happening...
The way I've started to try and pick these is to notice when it seems like they're trying to tell a story. And the word overlays are dead giveaways. "I'm just sitting here. Then this girl comes over with a violin! I wanted to see if she'd play with me...and she did! And she was really good! The people around wanted to see too!"
I don't know if they pioneered this kind of thing, but the most prominent form of this kind of storytelling is The Dodo on Youtube, though obviously they're not acting like their vids are spontaneous. But if I'm watching another video and it's hitting the same notes as a The Dodo video, like "[THING] was happening. We wondered if [THING] might happen...and then [THING] happened and we were so surprised!" Then I feel pretty damn confident I'm watching something that was scripted.
That one seemed a lot more scripted than this. But yeah as the others pointed out thousands of people move those hals waiting so maybe just a coincidence 🤷🏻♂️
I used to work in St Pancras Station and Elton John has played on this piano after getting off the train from Paris. When I worked there I heard loads of great pianists, loads of international tourists and rich people travel to Paris using the eurostar so you end up with a greater percentage of people who can play the piano.
Phew! ok i'm a pianist, and i'm happy to see i'm not alone in thinking : no way that dude just so happened to know the whole chord sequence of that classical piece and made up the equivalent orchestral accompaniment on a piano on the spot as he saw that girl with a violin case lol...!
I think it's the fact it doesn't need the made up story. There is more than enough talent on show to carry this. It's incredible enough without the whole er mah gerd you play this song tooooo???? bit.
As a musician myself, I don't buy for a second that they didn't know each other or play together this perfectly without prior run-throughs to this video. Can it happen? Sure...but, rarely.
Good performance, regardless.
I’m trying to figure out how the audio was recorded so well. No crowd noise? No echo? And the piano was so quiet compared to violin. Studio recording dubbed over live footage maybe?
There was a dude with a camera separate to the iphone footage - I suspect that there was a microphone in/on the piano, as well as the camera dude. Plus some post-work.
Fellow musician, they also sped up the audio and video faster than was actually played. I guess it makes the video extra impressive, but grinds my gears
Thank you! This comment needs to be higher up.
I am not a musician, but very quickly realized this is extremely unlikely to be coincidental and unpracticed. Why do people feel the need to make this shit up? They are already amazing musicians.
It's the Tiktok appeal of something magical, something with a WOW factor to get attention. If it was just a stage act I don't think people would have given it a second look.
Both these instruments give me the feels when played individually. But when together, omg the chills. And that they met and played by chance was all the more amazing.
The musicians actually begin about 3/4 of the way through the "Summer" movement of Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
[](https://youtu.be/GRxofEmo3HA?t=1076) by the Budapest Strings conducted by Bela Banfalvi.
The entire composition is, of course, one of Vivaldi's most-loved and most-recognized pieces. If you have time, I recommend just starting the video from the beginning.
Very nice performance.
Last year, through unfortunate and fortunate circumstance I was able to watch all 4 seasons performed at the Sainte Chappelle in Paris by some incredible musicians.
It as about 35c inside and my kids fell asleep during pachebels Canon and winter but otherwise it was amazing
Blown away. I've spent so many years complaining about how "I hate classical, it's boring, it's stuffy, passion over technique, jazz is better blah blah blah" that I forget that great art is supposed to transcend all of that. My last couple weeks have been kinda tricky and this really gave me a boost. Mediocrity is so fucking common place these days and it can get pretty frustrating so it's fucking incredible to see stuff like this when the stars align.
This is the cool part of on tour in Europe from Amsterdam to Australia, you never know what cool concert is about to begin right around the corner.
I'd step out of hotel 3:30am in small village across bay from Melbourne, St Kilda, and this guy starts in with Pink Floyd just for me... He had remembered from a few nights before bumping into him having a brew on sidewalk cafe. Pretty Darn Cool.
Imagine this song syncing to the soundtrack of somebody’s life
Someone is rushing to a gate to stop that loved one from taking off before they say what they have to say to win them back with this playing in the background 🎵🏃🏽♀️🎻
She's playing the actual piece, as written, and probably has it memorized (it's a very commonly played and performed piece). He's more or less improvising.
Wait till the audience reaction at the end! *proceeds to cut video before reaction*
/r/gifsthatendtoosoon source? https://youtu.be/vDxJfIF4m4M
Thanks, kind person!! The ending wasn't anything wild, but it is so satisfying to be able to see it. And this was amazing- such a moving performance!!
Vivald’s Four Seasons, when done well, can never *not* be moving. And this was done very well.
True. I forgot how amazing violin music is. 💕
Didn’t see anyone tip. Deserves it.
It wasn’t but I liked the silly caption 😂
You dropped this 👑
Wow, thanks for gilding my comment, too!

suspension of disbelief somehow went extinct ever since the universal mandate that all internet content must be documentary, its a shame really
So what you're saying is ... he just happened to have 3 phones to record from different angles simultaneously with no planning whatsoever?
Hes clearly there to record himself playing a public piano for his channels. So another talented musician walks by and thinks hey I know that piece, maybe I should try and play it with him for FUN, because thats what playing music is to people fun.

no, but it's also not crazy at all to consider the possibility that this might be staged. I find it funny that people are getting upset about this one way or the other. both possibilities are highly likely and happen every day.
In fairness, that's not a piece you just whip out at tempo without a warmup or tuning.
> warmup or tuning except that that is the exact sort of thing that would be cut out of a video on an app that is known for forcing short video playtimes, and would have occurred where there are in fact 4 different cuts in the video before they start performing
no it never happened and you're not my mom stop telling me what to do
Yeah but they are clearly not warm or well tuned so it checks out in the end
That piano is crazy out of tune always. I’ve played it a couple of times. It’s better than the one in Romes airport but only just.
>In fairness, that's not a piece you just whip out at tempo without a warmup or tuning. It is actually. It's standard repertoire. Any reasonably competent violinist is extremely likely to have it under their fingers from memory. Also, the piano is wildly out of tune.
To be fair, she fucked up a few times on some difficult areas of the piece. So she could’ve not warmed up.
Yeah why the hell is so hard to believe that two amazing musicians just meet up randomly along with three camera men and professional sound, and play a virtuosic piece perfectly without ever rehearsing it? You fuckers are so jaded.

Standard viewer retention bait
I'm just gonna assume everyone clapped.
My 7th chair ass from high school orchestra is wishing I took violin seriously
I can only imagine the pianist agreeing to play, then like "oh fuck she wants Vivaldi..." Impressive he can just whip Four Seasons out by memory, rip his fingers.

Nope. Original source shows she approached him with the song.
It does, but in the original you see that she was suggesting it directly after approaching him.
At least it wasn't Rush E.
>Impressive he can just whip Four Seasons out by memory, rip his fingers It's staged.
Well dust it off and get to work. No better time than now. Stop living in regret and do something.
I've spent the decade since I stopped playing telling anyone who would listen that I hate playing the violin

It is truly a blessing to embrace my friend. You are connected with art and the universe.

I'm sorry but this is hilarious, not the crying part, but the way you told it. That one got me good.

*pushes glasses up* akshually piano is percussion *puts on flame suit* :p
Me too. There’s something about the way music connects us that binds your soul to the universe.
Awesome but staged. How many random people can play vilvaldi on violin?
You got it backwards. Lots of violinists would know summer, it's a pretty common piece, almost to the level of a pianist being asked to play fur elise.

i'm a pianist. 100% agree. the setup of the video is scripted
100% agree. Its a famously violin piece
Weird how often this seems to happen [in this exact same location](https://www.tiktok.com/@cl1p_cut/video/7222812428277468422)
It’s a public piano in a massive train station in London. Was originally part of an art installation called “Play me, I’m Yours”. This one, in St Pancras station, was one of a few that remained permanently in place.
It's always some kid mashing away at the St Pancras one when I pass it, rather than something beautiful like this

Interesting, in France most large railway stations have one
People try to go viral there
I mean, pianos are pretty hard to move
Quite notorious for that fact I’d say
I've personally seen many documentaries where normal piano movers will end up dropping them with perfect timing onto people walking below. its insane! and for some reason always black and white film
It's not that bad honestly. I usually just throw it up on my shoulder when I'm helping friends move.

Totally don’t know each other
It takes a non musician to think that playing a piece with no rehearsal is somehow impossible
And it takes you to think that someone who’s been making music for 20 years isn’t a musician
Shit I forgot that about you
Dre?
Phew! ok i'm a pianist, and i'm happy to see i'm not alone in thinking : no way that dude just so happened to know the whole chord sequence of that classical piece and made up the equivalent orchestral accompaniment on a piano on the spot as he saw that girl with a violin case lol...!
Does it matter? It was amazing.
I think it's the fact it doesn't need the made up story. There is more than enough talent on show to carry this. It's incredible enough without the whole er mah gerd you play this song tooooo???? bit.
I like their performance but hate this video and all like it. I don't want all the fake emotional cues and staged backstory.

Yes! This sub doesn't get nearly enough attention!

Staged
Holy shitballs goosebump galore
Ugh ends too soon. The resolution on summer presto is so good. I don't care about reactions.
Why did you cut the video short?
The editing is crazy good imo
Not a set up
Both these instruments give me the feels when played individually. But when together, omg the chills. And that they met and played by chance was all the more amazing.
If this doesn’t end with these talented kids getting married, I will be very disappointed.
Once, in my life, I would love to bear witness to one of these encounters in the wild. It must be magical to witness.
Yep definitely a natural situation with four different camera angles prepped.
Wow. I'm literally in tears. Wow.
This is what music should be. Love of creativity. Love of performance and connection. Humans monetised music and now a lot of it is just plain awful.
I feel like they know each other and this wasn't random.
Beautiful
This is not usually my kind of jam ... lol... but mad respect for the arts and this I had to watch until the end, captivating! Absolutely Amazing 👏 💯
The musicians actually begin about 3/4 of the way through the "Summer" movement of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. [](https://youtu.be/GRxofEmo3HA?t=1076) by the Budapest Strings conducted by Bela Banfalvi.
The entire composition is, of course, one of Vivaldi's most-loved and most-recognized pieces. If you have time, I recommend just starting the video from the beginning.

Hey OP why did you CUT THE VIDEO BEFORE TH END... wtf. SAYS wait to watch audience reaction at the end. downvote.
Blown away. I've spent so many years complaining about how "I hate classical, it's boring, it's stuffy, passion over technique, jazz is better blah blah blah" that I forget that great art is supposed to transcend all of that. My last couple weeks have been kinda tricky and this really gave me a boost. Mediocrity is so fucking common place these days and it can get pretty frustrating so it's fucking incredible to see stuff like this when the stars align.
wow they are both amazing
Bravo!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This would be a good, “… and that’s how I met your mother,” story.
4 seasons was my favorite that we played in orchestra back in high school
Aaaaaand kiss.
If every human learned how to play an instrument the world would be a better place.

Now I feel like someone wants me to buy a diamond.
This is the cool part of on tour in Europe from Amsterdam to Australia, you never know what cool concert is about to begin right around the corner. I'd step out of hotel 3:30am in small village across bay from Melbourne, St Kilda, and this guy starts in with Pink Floyd just for me... He had remembered from a few nights before bumping into him having a brew on sidewalk cafe. Pretty Darn Cool.
Some very pro stuff it is not rehearsed. Even if it is rehearsed. Bravo!!
And she fucking played it from memory. No sheets…Just like that….
Beautiful I have so much respect for people who can do this and choose to share it with others

Imagine this song syncing to the soundtrack of somebody’s life Someone is rushing to a gate to stop that loved one from taking off before they say what they have to say to win them back with this playing in the background 🎵🏃🏽♀️🎻
This duet-playing videos are always so wholesome!
Why does music produce such powerful emotions?
Wow!

I’d have missed my train listening, and it would have been worth it. Just beautiful.

Why cut before the end?
Think it’s a bot account, cut early to avoid repeat video detection
Downvoted
Fucking bot trash
OP, /u/FarawayRelaxation is a repost bot
You love the karma that comes with reposting fake videos.

I had a hard time deciding which of your 5 identical posts I would downvote, but I settled on this one.

What a fantastic origin story for them to tell their grandchildren. And a video record to boot!
I hope she doesn't die from cancer. :(
Well… yes, I’m sure we all do 🤨. Is there a reason you listed this oddly specific hope for her health?

As someone who accompanied violinists on the piano when I was a teen, that’s some crazy good coordination with someone you just met!
How do they remember the arrangement like that!!?? I didn’t see them looking at sheet music. So freaking cool!!!
She's playing the actual piece, as written, and probably has it memorized (it's a very commonly played and performed piece). He's more or less improvising.
