You can tell she absolutely loves music. The look on her face the entire time says it all
'Tis true! I'm so grateful that music found me 😊
but how can she not know interstellar theme
@@VictoriaTheodoreyou are magic ❤️
@@brownlashawn56 🙏🏽☺
Everybody loves music
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!
Thank you so much! It was definitely an exciting challenge!
Great job! Awesome
🙏🏽☺@@bplusmc1
@@VictoriaTheodore Nice! I don’t often do this, but I feel you would appreciate learning about jamesmillergospelpianist. It’s a wonderful story. Google it. Thanks!
It’s a very cool video. My fav is ii on drumeo
(Edit) - they’re close
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
Thank you so much 😊
@@VictoriaTheodorewhat I found impressive is that you had so much more flow and grace when you made the piece your own rather than trying to follow the imho busy and a bit clumsy original arrangement. I always found it a bit over the top - the original piece is rather minimalist and the power comes from the church organ. Anyway super impressive as everyone is saying :)
@@MiegmaishMenas🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
respectfully, interstellar isn't that hard to play from ear, it's mainly 4 chords over and over
Respectfully, what is your point?
I'm more impressed that she doesn't know this song.
Exactly 😂
It's a song for a movie she probably hasn't seen it or been on the Internet all that much
@@HungNguyen-jk5ll she says she's a singer, song writer, composer, music director. I think she should listen to everything she could, even noises. There is no excuse for that.
@@HungNguyen-jk5ll there is literally no way you would not know about Interstellar ... Especially if you work in the field of music
Never watched the film and does not have to be on tik tok wasting her time.
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.
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Made it better ? Hold your horses thats a masterpiece lol made it her own and was really good yes but lets not compare
@@robertoc.480 If we aren't comparing the soudntrack but rather the only Piano arrangement she had to study, she defenitly did a better job at conveying emotion. I don't think Mr.Zimmer would be bothered by this so why would you ?
@@robertoc.480 Person is lacking some IQ to assert it went way beyond the original composition.
Yes she Dan does
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!!
🙏🏽☺️🙏🏽
While making several mistakes too
@@alanmatkovic3221 Definitely mistakes! But sometimes inspiration rises from the errors ☺
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.
🙏🏽☺️
This is jaw dropping and beautiful 💯Thank you Victoria and pianote for this Interstellar performance😅
Thank you for watching!🤩🙌🏼
Thank you 😊
Well said mate , well said.
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.
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
YES!
Watching her actually made me cry. Damn, she’s special - and I’ve bever heard of her before now
I actually love Victoria’s version of the song from Interstellar.. she’s a genius
To see someone who has mastered their craft to this degree! That’s so awesome!!!
🙏🏽☺
❤@@VictoriaTheodore
it is unbielevable !!!!
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.
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
Whatever instrument you play you learn this skill by doing it. Take an easy melody and try figure it out then keep going on to harder stuff.
Learn common chord progressions, cadences and learn how different intervals sound.
20 mins a day will show big results in just 1 year
@@christo2690 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is so fun to watch - just unbelievable that she figures it out by ear. Incredibly talented!!!
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊❤
Not enough appreciation for musical genius like this. We need to highlight the musical arts more, it's the soul of humanity
Thank you so much 🙏🏽☺
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!
Thank you so much 🙏🏽☺
Insane! I definitely hope to see more of this kind of content. It's a good idea.
I love that Pianote is starting to do this type of video like Drumeo! What a song to learn by ear! My brain gets tired trying to learn to read music, so it's kind of nice to know even super skilled and experienced pianists sometimes face their own brain-tiring challenges!
It was definitely a challenge, but also exciting and fun ☺
This is one of my favorite pieces of all time and it was amazing to watch her work through this. I love Pianote!
Pianote is the best! ☺
Absolutely loved watching this! Watching a musician just break it down and their process helps me see how they do it.
🙏🏽☺
Omg this was so fun to watch!!! I just wish this was a longer vid but overall I loved watching her learn through the song by ear
🙏🏽☺
Wow. I just love how Victoria Theodore has so much fun with figuring out the arrangement and then making it her own! Spectacular transcription and playing. Wow!
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
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.
Aww thank you so much! 🙏🏽☺ I feel the same watching the content creators that I see. There's soooo much talent in the world!
My man 😭 she is so good with everything 😫 she fr nailed it with her version. What a talented woman she is!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽☺
WOWSERS! She was incredible! Talk about motivation, thanks for sharing!
At first I thought by reading the title: interesting but I don’t believe it. But then throughout out the video it seemed more legit. Then when she starts playing OMG! She captured the soul of the song and made little tweaks in the song that still describe and show the soul of the song. doing that from scratch is INSANE! Really inspiring! I’m a fan of Victoria now! Thanks! 🙏🏾🤩
Wow. Thank you so much! 🙏🏽☺
Loving this... as someone who has very little technical musical knowledge, she let me discover more to this piece. more depth and more variations even after all this time. it's a beautiful homage to a beautiful piece of music.
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Literally held my breath!! Released it, and had tears in my eyes. She is amazing isn't she?!
🙏🏽☺
As usual, I am in awe of your genius and talent. You are such a consummate pro!
I’m honored to know you! FELIZ NAVIDAD
Gracias, mi hermano! 🙏🏽☺💖
Honestly big ups to put herself out there testing like a new piano concept, not necessarily getting everything right but instead creating her own interpretation. Somehow I feel like drumming feels a bit easier to actively listen to, but I might be wrong. Super fun to watch!
🙏🏽☺
You can really see that this wonderful lady is having a blast while figuring out what's happening and playing!
Watching her smiling and laughing while listening and getting all the little tricky details is just marvelous!
And she made me want to get back to my piano and practice even though I'm completely rusted (and I never
was good to begin with).
And her joy is so contagious!
Lady Victoria Theodore, you are a true joy and pleasure to watch and listen playing!
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺ And I encourage you to get back to your piano. Your experience is YOURS and music is the gift that awaits you ☺
@@VictoriaTheodore Thank you, you're so adorable! ☺🙏
I actually went back to it and I nearly missed my time to go to work because I was having such a great time
even though I am really rusty and I couldn't play any actual piece (just fiddling and letting my hands go where
they wanted to go). And now I go to it once a day (even if just for 30-60 minutes) because I really want to be
able to play something decent. (I think my guitar might be a little jealous though 🤣)
So thank you for this video and for your kindness and encouragements! 🙏☺
@@TheNehethawa Ah I love that! There's something so lovely about being lost in time with music. But I hope you don't miss your job! 😆
Enjoy every moment 😊
@@VictoriaTheodore Don't worry I didn't miss job: I'm used to "zone out" when I do something I like (music, reading, writing,
processing photographs [but always with some music in the background when not playing some, I just can't live in complete
silence]) so I always set a timer to the moment when I absolutely have to go before getting late and another 10 minutes earlier 😅
And yes that feeling of getting lost in the moment is so great !
I am loving this series of artist learning songs on the spot
She is indeed a cool person. She is definitely a studio musician try not to miss details. This version is so nice to listen everytime I hav goosebumps.
😊🙏🏽
the talent on display in these videos is simply astounding. thank you for humbly allowing us to peak inside your incredible musical mind!
🙏🏽☺
I love her energy and she is so talented and passionate about music. To be able to know the notes right away after hearing it and playing it, is mind blowing.
🙏🏽☺
Love everyone and everything here. Video and audio tech work, in addition to composition, and the love of music flowing in fellowship through hearts, hands, there, and to all of us out here....
Thank you!!!!!
Glorious, just beautiful. Her laugh while her brain is in overdrive is just magical 😊❤
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
THIS IS DOPE! She’s a musical genius! To learn by just hearing wow
🙏🏽 😊
It’s just practice like anything else
@@thesethreekings sooo are you saying that to say that this isn’t dope? Or is she not a musical genius? I’m confused.
@@gpthe2nd That often hard practice gets mistaken for genius
@@thesethreekings I don’t even have a comment in reply for you.
The tears just started flowing when she played her version omg
🙏🏽☺
Omg this is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! Victoria is a remarkably talented lady
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Victoria is an amazing pianist and wonderful teacher!! Big thumbs up
Victoria!!! I can literally see the endearing smile your dad would get on his face while boasting about how gifted you are as I listen to you play this! This is amazing!!
This is one of those songs that is so amazing on piano and has been played literally everywhere.. it's really hard to believe any pro pianist under the age of 90 hasn't heard this before.
Absolutely amazing! But my favorite part of this song is the hypnotic note on E that should be played almost throughout the entire song on every beat. But playing by ear on this song is crazy!
What a master at what she does! So incredibly talented and definitely knows her piano! This was fun to watch
🙏🏽☺️
As someone who only studied the super fundamental music theory back in high school and has no talent in playing piano, this is so insane and so mind-blowing to me. It just shows that human is capable of doing sooo much of complex thing. To think Theodore exists in the world as I am is so, so incredible... This video just left me speechless and amazed.
Thank you so much! I love that social media allows us all to see how much talent is in the world. I'm inspired daily by so many amazing creators 🙏🏽☺
@@VictoriaTheodore you're most welcome Theodore, and omg thank you for replying! I'd like to take this opportunity to say, thank you for inspiring me and other people! ❤️
One amazing thing I learned about music is that knowing it on a technical level doesn't diminish how emotionally engaging it still is. Music is so easy to love.
Amazing! And genius to play a hans zimmer composition by ear. I also loved her energy.
🙏🏽☺
This is unbelievable. I can't believe that she was able to play this on her first time hearing it. She's soo talented.
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
Dude are you stupid...? This is definitely staged, what kind of pianist never heard Interstellar before
This shows that dedication, a lot of practicing and breathing music can make you do wonderful things.
Incredible!! Victoria Theodore is such an amazing talent! Such dedication to her craft! Inspiring always!
Gracias mija 🙏🏽☺💖
Every time I watch this channel I am completely inspired to play with my keyboard. That was beautiful! ❤
🙏🏽☺
I fail to understand how a professional piano player has never heard this piece before in so many years. Brilliant nonetheless
There's so much music in the world, and I've never been a big movie goer... 🤷🏽♀
That's like asking why a pro chef hasn't eaten the newest offering from Taco Bell.
@@codetech5598No where near the same.
@@VictoriaTheodoreI wish you would do and upload more as a series. 😊
classical musicians tend to miss most of what's happening in the pop scene
but instead they know every other classical music player and their instruments
Loved seeing her light up and make the song her own picking it up by ear; super impressive! Pretty sure it’s tough as nails to play. It’s awesome to see someone so into their passion. Thanks for spreading the good vibes!
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
Love the confidence in her note choice. Completely grooving to the fulfilment from music, and isn't that what we all ultimately seek when we play.
🙏🏽☺
Victoria is an amazing talent as demonstrated in this video. This was fun to watch. 😊
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏽☺💖
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.
fr like am i supposed to believe she is this good at piano and has never heard INTERSTELLAR???
@@b3njamMMVII yes? There are infinitely more interesting piano pieces out there
@@b3njamMMVII Interstellar is not a piano piece tho
This is profoundly magical.
She is unreal! What a talent.. a true pianist and musician ❤
Thank you 🙏🏽😊
That was impressive. Though she didn't get quite everything, she sure melted into the experience. Love her
At a certain point I was quite literally agape listening to her performance...it's not often a performance brings a tear to my eye but this definitely did it.
🙏🏽😊
I always love watching these master minds work out these brilliant songs on the spot 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 well done!
Thank you 🙏🏽☺️
Very impressive... Victoria is a very talented pianist. Imagine giving her a week to practice. She would play it better than the original.
🙏🏽☺
I can't hear this music without tearing up.....that movie and its music are on another level.
🙏🏽☺️
Victoria🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 and PIANOTE team! What an amazing session!!!👏🏽👏🏽
🙏🏽☺
I've never seen a more beautiful transition from Score to Pop and back to Score. Like a true lesson in the differential of space in music. How music can throw your mind from wanting to focus to instantly wanting to sway and move with it.
Incredible.
Bravissima!!!
Victoria Didn t know this movie theme but perfectly picked up the essence of it and interpreted the music at the best …. Always with smile !!!
🙏🏽☺
This old man doesn't cry much but that song means a lot to me. I saw Interstellar with my son at an Imax the day the movie was released. I've watched it easily a thousand times since. The soundtrack is something that is lost to me after hearing it so many times. It's just seamless and complete. I've never given thought to "Cornfield Chase" but I instantly knew what part of the movie and of course this hauntingly beautiful piece. What a blessing to be able to listen to something so complicated, watch it broken down into parts, and played not to perfection but prefectly played. Drumeo turned me onto this kind of content and I am so happy it is also done on piano. Happy to sub.
Wow. Thank you for sharing your story, and for your kind words 🙏🏽
Just recently saw it at an IMAX as well. What a difference that made to a living room viewing! The sound, visuals, and everything made me even forget I was in public watching the film; I was just engrained in the movie.
From one genius (Hans Zimmer) to another (Victoria). Beautifully executed. I didn't know her, she's amazing.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽☺
smiling ear to ear watching and listening!!! so awesome!!
Fantastistic stuff. Wow! So talented!!!!! Great video and great musician. Thanks so much for sharing.
🙏🏽☺
This was absolutely incredible to watch. Clearly, Victoria is a master of the piano and playing by ear, but in many ways it gave me faith as a beginner. We experience the same emotions when playing an instrument, whether we are masters or beginners. The important thing is to have the courage to dive in, make mistakes, and enjoy the musical journey.
Thank you! And you're completely correct. One of my favorite things about music is that there's always room for growth. It's a beautiful journey, not a destination ☺
This is going down as one of my fav YT vids of all time...because this woman is genius, and beautiful, and my friend! Thank you Pianote for highlighting her brilliance! Now a new subscriber. :)
Thank you, my beautiful and brilliant sis!! 🙏🏽☺💖
Both Victoria’s process and product are beautiful. She relishes the challenge, and we are all rewarded for it.
🙏🏽☺️
In tears of amazement, absolutely beautiful ❤ We'll done! and thank you for this inspiration 💕 Magical 🎩
🙏🏽☺
Zimmer is one of my favorite composers. I don't think I could pick a favorite between him, Giacchino, and Elfman.
I wish so bad you could do this with ”concert paraphrase on dearly beloved ’’ 🥰🥰 but for this one the result is already exquis thanks !!!
This is Beautiful 🎶💕 Her attitude and approach were Stellar!! Job Well Done!!!
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
The input, processing and output is so amazing, its almost as if she has sound-color synesthesia! Cheers on learning it instantaneously 🎉
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
The fact Victoria's version sounded like it was the ending cresendo of the song somoothly giving it a diminuendo to finish the score.
Victoria is THE GOAT!! What a wonder to watch her lock in with this beautiful piece and crush it
Thank you 🥹🙏🏽☺️
Musical magic ✨ Thanks for your sharing! That revitalized my heart and mind! Love ❤️
🙏🏽☺
She is amazing! Beautifully done!
🙏🏽☺
I love this type of vid. This is a great format. It's more fun for me to hear them not play it exactly right. I am more curious about what they do with it as a unique musician rather than just being able to perfectly play the score. This was so cool to hear her version
Thank you! I'm grateful for grace in the presence of my errors 😂🙏🏽☺
Great video. Victoria’s awesome. One of my favorites from Hans Zimmer. To learn that by ear is awesome. I’d love if you invited UA-camr Frank Tedesco. He does this all the time, taking song request live on Omegle/Ome TV and if he doesn’t know it, he listens then plays it, often with a bit of his own spin and flare.
Thank you! I didn't know about Frank Tedesco, but just looked him up and followed him. He's great! ☺
I love Victoria! 2008, London Stevie Wonder concert, I regularly listen to the song Spain! I love it!
Damn!!! One of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
This artist is an absolute savant! When all your hairs stand up and you feel a WOOOOSHHH over your body, you know it's special. Her awesome personality also made this more enjoyable.
Thank you 🙏🏽💖☺
Amazing to watch. Great challenge. More of that please. Hans Zimmer is a fantastic German composer. Not easy to play. Greetings from Indonesia and Merry Christmas ❤️😘
Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🙏🏽☺🎄
She did an Incredible performance needless to say it was her first time playing it! It's amazing how wonderful some people can be. Beautiful. ❤👏🏻
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
Just wow Victoria!! God has blessed you with an immense talent. May He continue blessing you. Cause by blessing you He is blessing us.
🙏🏽☺
The movie she refers to, is probably Arrival as a possible origin. Now that said, I am amazed someone could play this tune so well on a piano, but even more someone decoding it from just listening and hitting so much right. Well done!
🙏🏽☺
This might just be the craziest take I have ever seen!
This was freaking AMAZING to watch! Wow.
🙏🏽☺
These are the best videos on UA-cam! I’m immensely impressed!
Thank you 🙏🏽💖☺
One of my favourite things in music is when you can tell something's being created through pure inspiration, and it still comes out perfect. 6:20 is one of the best examples of that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Wow. Thank you so much 🙏🏽 😊
Wow, she's amazing! I want to be able to hear and play like that as well. 😊
🙏🏽☺
Wow! That is incredible! I love it. ❤️
Beautifully done!
Love these episodes! Please keep them coming…..🎹
