I love how Daniel learns how to riff, and then he has to learn how NOT to riff. This is like overdoing a trill in classical music. It sounds nice, but you don't always need it.
No, all of the songs are in different keys like Ode To Joy is usually in G Major, Brahms Lullaby is D major etc. Daniel just transposed the key into C to do the riff.

Dear Daniel, I am writing to extend my warmest congratulations on your impressive piano playing! It is truly an outstanding accomplishment, and you should be proud of yourself for all of the hard work, dedication, and talent that you have displayed. Whether you are a student or a professional musician, playing piano is no easy feat. It requires countless hours of practice, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of sound and music theory. You have clearly demonstrated these qualities and more, and you can rightly feel proud of your achievements. Your skillful playing has undoubtedly brought joy and inspiration to many listeners, and I have no doubt that you will continue to excel in your musical pursuits. Your passion for music and dedication to perfecting your craft is a true testament to your talent and drive, and I am certain that you will continue to find success and fulfillment in your artistic endeavors. Once again, congratulations on your magnificent piano playing, and best of luck in all of your future musical endeavors! Sincerely, Ben
@@willhodges9057 The point of the joke is that the song is Ode To Joy, and he's crying in pain "AH! MY JOY!" because the riff 'shot down' the song, which is an ode to joy.
