Everything from transcriptions, arrangements & reductions!
Chopinata (Doucet/Hamelin) - Transcription
Performed by Marc-André Hamelin, and transcribed & edited by yours truly!
Hamelin's performances of this fun little piece vary quite a lot, mostly due to the fact that his particular version is quite different from what Doucet originally had published. The transcription I've made is *mostly* faithful to this particular recording - but it's mainly intended as a new 'edition' for people to be able to pick up and play based on Hamelin's interpretation, so I've straightened out the rare muddy note and cleaned up the piece a tiny bit note-wise, hence it won't 100% line up with the recording. Either way, enjoy, and let me know your thoughts :)

Now THIS is music!
Why this unironically go hard
I think 3:05 in the original chopinata is inspired by one of max Reger's Chopin studies
Wow, I am impressed by the pianist literally “telling a joke” with his music. That's some high level of piano-playing!
I love how they're all laughing because they're so familiar with the original pieces and they hear how it's being remade into a skillful jazz rendition.
Don't know of this man, so I missed any back story, or the reasons why such an accomplished musician chooses to " mess with the masters". It's amusing, but that's not reason enough. What is he trying to say, other than he is damn good and can play anything well. I wonder how those who don't know the originals react?
The originals are long dead. So their opinions don't matter. Chopin can roll in his grave all he wants, this is an entertaining, catchy, witty and creative reimagination of his pieces that a lot of people enjoy.
@@brent3522 it's made for a particular audience, and you are one of them. No problem with that.
When did this idea start that famous composers are some divine creatures spreading some holy message that is not to "be messed with"? Improvisation / Transcription / Reimagination of popular works has been done by the exact same "masters" Hamelin is messing with here. Although I must note that on one ocassion, when Liszt and Chopin met and the former improvised on some Nocturne by the latter, Chopin was not so amused. But fortunately for Hamelin, he is neither of Chopins time nor aquainted with him.
@@xZyrux not holy, but when an artist finishes a work, he has said what he can say. I suppose anyone has the right to make their own version of the Mona Lisa out of macaroni. Buy why? The original is already perfect, or at least the original artist considers it complete. I would object to anyone taking a brush and reworking the original work of art however. I guess my point is why not compose something new ? Why mess with other people's art?
@@jefolson6989 In the end all art/music/novels are derivatives of previous works. A reinterpretation is the most direct way to take "inspiration" from a previous work. I see no reason why it should be worth less than other forms of art. I have to note that I don't think that this particular work offers a lot of artistic value, however it is very entertaining and humerous which in my opinion already justifies its existance.
Like it
This is great, thanks so much :-)
B R A V O !!
This is so fun!
Indeed
@@Dylonely42 I wish it had more Chopin pieces in it.
@@ethanbrowncomposer Did I hear Military Polonaise at the beginning ?
@@Dylonely42 Yeah, I really like the opening. He should've added the Torrent etude or maybe Grande valse brillante.
I love Marc-André Hamelin's amazing performances and his compositions. I love his humor and wit as well.
I agree. Considering this was originally a 2-piano piece, Hamelin's transcription skills are excellent.
Omg thank you so much!! I'm also one of those people who printed the sheet music for the Doucet transcription and was like "Oh no no crap that's not how Hamelin does it".
Great! Thanks for the PDF 🙏
So cool 😎
You absolute legend
Thanks man 👍
I also worked on this piece a while back - my transcription and recording (I couldn't get a copy of the score) is here: ua-cam.com/video/9Lo-QToZ10g/v-deo.html. I can't play like Hamelin, of course: no-one can!
what was the two unavailable videos at the end?
probably a unlisted video and the creator use the direct to latest video end screen
thank you!
