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!
@@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!
@@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 :)
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!!
@@VictoriaTheodore bro how the hell do you play by ear. That is insane. I am just starting piano. Im 13 and I need some tips to improve fast. Of you got any please share them with me to improve my journey as a pianist. Thank you.
@@NgoloKante_TheGoat hi! I’m definitely no professional, but I did start 2 years ago when I was 14. tip would be practice your fundamentals first, master the basics while you get used to the piano…sometimes I can play by ear because I somehow remember how the keys sound! so there’s really no huge shortcut, you have to constantly practice and learn. of course, you can search up more videos for advice :)
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.
@@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! ❤️
I totally agree. There's talent and there's genius. Musicians of this calibre really should have a genius level youtube genre thing going. Us mere mortals can simply just watch and be amazed. I know I am.
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.
I was also moved to tears watching this... Victoria and I are buddies, and I know that that genius so many folks have commented on is not just inborn talent (of which she has a ton, obviously). She works really hard, at everything she does, and she brings a joyful, positive approach to all of it!
@@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 ?
@@conarward1390only because he has a more precise take on it. I feel the mood changed but that doesn't make it bad. It was perfect for the places it was in the film and which parts were played when
I love "Interstellar" so much and I know that this song was not easy to play, but this lady literally was able to knock it out of the park and make it her own. I love watching these videos and seeing musicians try to come up with their own ideas for music. Victoria, thank you for this so much. Cheers.
Every time I hear this arrangement.. I am baffled at the pure artistry and eloquence of this piece. The gradual climb inspiring a sense of hope, desperation... and a chance that the protagonist might make it.. it's like the sound of "reaching for the last few seconds of life". I will always love this piece.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
Cornfield Chase (or as I call it, the Interstellar song 😜) is easily one of my most favorite songs. Funny she mentions (not by name) the movie Arrival, which is one of my most favorite movies. Both these movies invoke the most mind bending interception of time and reality. I never would’ve had that correlation if they weren’t mentioned together in this video. 🤯 Super cool!! She has amazing talent!! 😍
Man, this is absolutely awesome. You can't help but shed a tear at this amazing display of talent. When you see something like this you must feel awe or you simply do not possess a soul. I find it inspiring, because while not all of us who put in the hard work succeed, all that succeed, put in the hard work, and this is talent AND hard work at its finest
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! 🙏🏾🤩
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!
This literally made me cry oh my goodness!!!!! some are taught and some can create from a much deeper place that their born with. Absolutely breathtaking
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!!
I think once people learn an instrument, their sense of appreciation for the immense skill ot takes to do something like this fades Sad by some comments I’m seeing saying she did bad or better than the original. She did amazing regardless. And it doesn’t take away from the original version either.
Absolutely incredible I mean my jaw was on the floor. The memory required to remember that entire sequence after replicating it is insane. Also the way you could see how her brain was working and how she was feeling the melody like get me tickets to her concert now PLEASE!
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!!!!!
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!
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.
I'm not a piano player and I don't plan to play. But watching the series "on the spot" is so fascinating peek into human creativity and the professional level these musicians excel. Respect!
As a science nerd, I want to see what her brain looks like when she's playing and figuring this out. It would absolutely light up on a scan. Creativity like this is so beautiful
This is proof that no matter how long you have been doing something: we're only human and will be prone to errors. I'm sure that if you were given more time you were gonna play it a whole lot better than the original. But I love what you just did Victoria.❤❤❤Thank you. ❤❤❤
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!
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.
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.
The amount of talent it would take to learn this song in a month is mind boggling. To just break it down by ear like that. This woman is incredibly talented.
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.
Totally blown away - an absolutely beautiful rendition - shows she has great skills but even more impressive musical ear. A true musician that has made others who stand in front of her look great.
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 ☺
Let me explain to you non piano players. I have been classically trained since I was 5 years old. I have played on stage for many singers. I have played in operas. I have even played other composers. It took me almost 5 hours to play this by key. She learned in less than an hour. If you only know how difficult this is to learn in a short time. It was inspiring to watch. She improvised and made it sound better than the original. She is a pianist goddess. Trust that. I have seen players that can do these types of things however, I need more time and I will get it perfect however in such a short time, I am not going to be able to do that the way she did.
@@VictoriaTheodore Trust me Mrs Theodore, you are levels above everyone else. I have been trying to reproduce the songs in all the other videos including yours and usually I do much better than most of the other players in about the same time they do it, then I came across your video and like I said, it took me 5 hours to get it and it was a replica unlike yours which sounded exactly like the record and I did it by ear. You made yours in a 1/5 of the time and you made it your own. You made it sound better than the original. I never responded to any other video. I have been playing my whole life and you are a rare piano goddess. I strive to play like you. I have worked with many of the same singers you have worked with and recently worked on wicked. From now on if anyone asks for a pianist, your name is going to be first and I am proud to say that she is much better than me on the creative side and playing things by ear. A goddess. It was an honor watching you and look forward to more of your videos.
When she was listening to it, she didn't seem nervous, frightened or confused, she was just excited. She was confident from the top and has the talent to back it up. Just watching her hands move is mesmerizing - 5:50 gave me goosebumps. Her love for the art is palpable. Plus she's fun and charismatic! I would LOVE to see a conversation between her and Hans Zimmer.
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.
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!
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!
First of all that was incredibly beautiful and her skill and talent is out of this world. I think the movie she assumed this was from is Arrival, which also has an amazing score. Very interesting to watch this happen in real time.
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. :)
nobody who has learn piano with a teacher can relate to this video feel. It's so pure the present moment that you improvise and if someone ask you to do it again you have no idea what you just played ... you was playing with the heart
Thank you 🙏🏽🥰 One of the joys of improvisation is the freedom it allows. You are correct, if I had to do it again, the performance would be completely different. Music is so wonderful 🥰
I am amazed at how talented humans can be, thinking about the effort that must have gone into becoming so skilled and their determination to never give up.
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.
I''m not surprised her brain is "Quite tired" after that. What a talented lady.
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
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 😊

You cant really go wrong with Zimmer and Nolan together. If you're a fan. To me it rivals Burton and Elfman. Haggis should've stuck with Isham
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.
She sounds very busy with famous people. I’d imagine she’s not watching movies or consuming UA-cam Videos which is where I’ve heard the song so much.

From now on if anyone asks for a pianist, your name is going to be first and I am proud to say that she is much better than me on the creative side and playing things by ear. A goddess. It was an honor watching you and look forward to more of your videos.
I get such joy watching this process, performance, and her undeniable passion for the piano. Thank you for sharing!
From one genius (Hans Zimmer) to another (Victoria). Beautifully executed. I didn't know her, she's amazing.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽☺
When she was listening to it, she didn't seem nervous, frightened or confused, she was just excited. She was confident from the top and has the talent to back it up. Just watching her hands move is mesmerizing - 5:50 gave me goosebumps. Her love for the art is palpable. Plus she's fun and charismatic! I would LOVE to see a conversation between her and Hans Zimmer.
Thank you! And I would love that! I still haven't seen this movie, but I saw Dune and thought the score was phenomenal! 🤩🤩
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.
🙏🏽😊
Absolutely incredible, to figure out a Hanz Zimmer composition so quickly is proof that you know exactly what you're doing and hearing! Incredible!
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! ☺
This is honestly incredible.
🙏🏽☺
Victoria is an amazing talent as demonstrated in this video. This was fun to watch. 😊
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏽☺💖
Incredible to see you learn it in real time. A true gift.
🙏🏽☺
You are amazing @@VictoriaTheodore
@@lslater3003 Thank you 😊
Her fills at 6:40 were awesome and added something to an already brilliant piece!
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! 🙏🏽☺
Glorious, just beautiful. Her laugh while her brain is in overdrive is just magical 😊❤
Thank you 🙏🏽☺
Go Vickie Go I Love how you clued into the song immediately! YAY!
🙏🏽🥰💖
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!
First of all that was incredibly beautiful and her skill and talent is out of this world. I think the movie she assumed this was from is Arrival, which also has an amazing score. Very interesting to watch this happen in real time.
Thank you 🥰
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!! 🙏🏽☺💖
I know nothing about music but watching her moved me to tears. Thank you.
Insane! I definitely hope to see more of this kind of content. It's a good idea.
nobody who has learn piano with a teacher can relate to this video feel.
It's so pure the present moment that you improvise and if someone ask you to do it again you have no idea what you just played ... you was playing with the heart
Thank you 🙏🏽🥰
One of the joys of improvisation is the freedom it allows. You are correct, if I had to do it again, the performance would be completely different. Music is so wonderful 🥰
What a master at what she does! So incredibly talented and definitely knows her piano! This was fun to watch
🙏🏽☺️
I am amazed at how talented humans can be, thinking about the effort that must have gone into becoming so skilled and their determination to never give up.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 🥰
I love watching people with personality just enjoy their craft whilst being humbly incredible
I love this piece. I love her watching her process. I subscribed ❤
the talent on display in these videos is simply astounding. thank you for humbly allowing us to peak inside your incredible musical mind!
🙏🏽☺
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.
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 piece made me fall in love with the keyboard forever, and get into basic music theory. Victoria did so well!❤️
Thank you 🙏🏽🥰
She is unreal! What a talent.. a true pianist and musician ❤
Thank you 🙏🏽😊
this is possibly the most impressive thing ive ever seen
Thank you! 🙏🏽☺
