who needs an orchestra, right? is just amazing!
agreed
Wow, has this not been transcribed before?
He plays it and makes it sound like it was originally on the piano
Yes, of course, this has already been transcribed (all the great operas have a "vocal score" version, that is to say with a piano reduction including the overtures), but the arrangements are a little "simpler" than that this one. That said, in the particular case of this overture, even these simpler versions aren't that easy to play cleanly.
Playing this song requires talent, composing it required pure genius. Amazing.
Simply amazing! I don't understand why this doesn't have 1 million likes already.
What i like best about this is that there is so much natural vitality without a hint of effort or distortion. As far as the transcription itself Liszt or Rachmaninoff could not do better . Bravo!!
I visualize Mozart showing thumb up from heaven
Heaven? Wolfie?? . . . but you're right about the thumb : )
He has reincarnated in a new body since at least once
It made me smile to hear this and know such a musically talented person walks the earth. Magnificent job!

This is really impressive. Well played! Greetings from Germany
You, sir, did a fantastic job on this. I have high standards for the Figaro-Overture, especially in a piano version. You ticked all of them.
Damn, I feel like I should have paid for that. Amazing!!
Amazing !!
Enjoyed. I like it!
THOUSANDS OF CONGRATS!
Excellent transcription you have made it sound stunningly close to the original arrangement for symphony orchestra
Donny Tra An arrangement is a modified version for the original ensemble, or for a different instrument.
Really brillant !
Wow really nice !
wow....so brilliant
Awesome!
Simplesmente fantástica esta transcrição para piano Mozart iria amar
amazing!!!
BRAVO !!
Perfect. Pianists must study for years to perfect a certain style and quality of performance and control over the keys. Their fingers can either strike or press a key to change how percussive the note sounds and this style of touching the key can be heard above and beyond the simple speed of the key and hammer. The skill may be factoring in all the inevitable extra noises that come from playing the piano: the sound of fingertips and fingernails hitting the keys just before the note is played, the knock sounds from the hammer hitting the string and the key hitting the bottom of the key frame, and the thump of the key returning to its initial position after being played. All these ideas add up to affect the overall quality of the music. You nailed it, Sean. Score!
Excellent! Better than some of Liszt's transcriptions!
Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need the sheets... Pleasee?
Bravo!!!
Bravo!
You played this so beautifully. Well done bro. I can do it except for the thirds at the end and will need to figure that out. Really fantastic playing. I hope you pursue being a repetiteur.
AMAZINGGG
BRAVO!!!!!!!
BRAVISSIMO MAESTRO!
YOU ARE REALLY GOOD !!!
3 people thought the dislike button was the download button.
@Mario Don't you mean the download button?
@Mario #buzzkillington
@Mario well if you pay him to transcribe the piece, perform it and upload it, you can definitly be that critic, but since you didnt and he did it for free for we all to enjoy, all you can do its to be thankfull for such a great job, not perfect, nothing is, but still marvellous.
Why are you criticizing Mario?
He can dislike how he plays
@Mario I don't think you're appreciating this upload for what it is. This isn't a professional recording, obviously, and it's not trying to be. Chen even states in the description that it's a "run-through," which (to me) implies that it's not the final product, rather, it's the rough draft!
well played son... well played.
jaw dropped to the floor. Subscribed.
連弾ではなく1人でこの豊かな音色…素晴らしい👏
オーケストラとは違う愉悦。
弾けたらさぞ気持ち良いだろうな…
This is fantastic! You wouldn't happen to have sheets for this, would you? I'd be happy to pay for them.
Please!!!
素晴らしい編曲です！！！
Apenas empezando a leer la pieza, pensando en que es imposible tocar el 100% de las notas a esa velocidad, y luego llegas tu. Espectacular 👏🏼
Браво маэстро ,потрясающая игра !!!
