If I walk into my Costco, no matter how much of a hurry I'm in, and someone is playing like this, I'll stop and appreciate the skill, talent and humanity of this scene.
Me too and I would definitely feel inclined to use my ballet skills as well. It's really sad that so many have no appreciation for the arts and positive and enlightening culture.
@@bmth607 That's your choice to not stop and enjoy something that is rare and beautiful but as for me, I will always have the courtesy to appreciate another person's gift. My life is so much better for it! How many people actually have the time to get to the theatre now day's? When we're on our deathbed I highly doubt anyone will say to themselves "I'm so glad that I completed my checklist" no way, you will only have memories and loved ones to comfort you ❤ I know this to be a fact because I worked in hospice. Stop and smell the roses sometimes, it's the small things that are the most fragrant and beautiful 😍
@@bmth607 You seem to be the only one triggered about time, and more than likely it's the stress of motherhood. Hopefully you find a balance and get to experience being in the moment and enjoying some quality time. No high horse here KP, just at a different season in life than you are.😉
I remember some years ago I was on the DC Metro and some guy was playing violin at the station, and it sounded amazing. My only regret was I was running late to meet someone and didn’t stick around for more than maybe 2 minutes, because I found out later he was Josh Bell, one of the most famous violinists in the world. Sometimes we really should stop and listen to the music in our lives.
No matter if that was Josh Bell or some random stranger, if they were playing extraordinarily amazing, I would stop and stay until they finish their piece!!
I AM SO JEALOUS. a writer for the Washington Post wrote an absolutely magnificent piece called Pearls Before Breakfast about Bell doing that that won the Pullitzer-- it's actually what introduced me to not only him, but the Chaconne, which is probably my absolute favorite piece of music that has ever been created. so i'm just grateful for even having read the piece-- i can't even imagine having gotten to see it in person, if only for one fleeting moment.
@@amongusaurellia6264 I don't know how. Peoples in the internet can't change in an instant. You can't stop them. But I rarely make joke about asian parents.
@@amongusaurellia6264 Because alot of asian parents like mine and most of my friends and others, tend to have strict parents that wants their kids to achieve a greater peek at certain things by pushing them to the extreme. Leading most kids nowadays to make a meme out of it, which i found it totally hilarious and relatable.
The pianist himself is amazing, but how about a round of applause for the Yamaha rep following along on the music to know when the page needed to be turned.
imagine a random kid watching him being like "I wanna be just like him when I grow up!" and they turn into a very good pianist, when someone asks who was their inspiration they respond: "Oh, some guy I saw on Costco. He was awesome."
You have a life and a schedule to keep. People drive by car accidents all the time because stopping might mean they’ll be late for work. So, walking by a piano player is a very easy thing to do. Really, no effort at all
Oh please. While his technique is quite good with strong fingering he is slapping the keys with little care or grace. Basically he's playing like one would play Honky Tonk style. Its loud and brash. I have yet to hear a single piano played in public very well. And there are many superb performers on UA-cam. They just never seem to play in public settings it seems.
This made me cry, not only because obviously the music was beautiful, but everything about this video is just so human. I wish we appreciated each other more.
That mention in the video is smart. It'll bring and keep the TwoSet crowd, increasing subscribers by word of mouth. And that's a good thing! The more musicians we can support, the better!🌻🌻
“Hm, this piano looks interesting” **sits down and has an entire concert for 2 hours inside the Costco while gathering onlookers listen in absolute astonishment** “Hm... yeah not a fan of the color, let’s keep looking”
Here I am at 30 years old; the first time I’ve been moved to tears by instrumental music… and it’s a youtube video of an unofficial Costco concert. Simply beautiful.
It doesnt happen often for me, interestingly I find the low quality but meaningful 'stobe the hobo' piano score to his own freight train youtube series quite moving.
It was fascinating that the adults walked by until that one kid stopped dead. The adults assumed someone playing at Cosco couldn’t be “that good” so they kept it moving mentally. The kid heard what he heard and he heard the truth. That dead stop took me out. And then it gave others pause. What a beautiful thing to exist. Thank you.
If he played in a dedicated room or in a concert... People would have listened. But because this is not the right place to tell you it's the good shit, people don't know. Also people have schedules so...
Aside from some of the funny remarks, I have to say the gentleman’s level of play on the piano is truly amazing and rather very skillful. That should not be overlooked here.
You really should try and do more or the in public ones! It’s funny to see other people’s reactions, (maybe after the virus tho). Also you are really amazing and I wish I was as good as that.
i like to see strangers putting smile on other strangers' faces especially on a time like this. As adults we forget to be kind to one another, we become more cautious which is natural but no matter what be kind to everyone around you and you will see reality in a different light. We rise by lifting others up.
I wish I had kept taking piano lessons after my piano burned to the ground... after burning through the floor... with the house... and about 120,000 hectares of land. I've never heard another piano sound quite like our old Knauss-Coblenz. There's something magical about pianos... like I said, mine vanished into thin air.
I don’t get comments saying “I don’t get how people can just walk by”. Yes, it sounds great, but if someone has a schedule to follow they probably want to get that done. Believe it or not, not many people actually want to stand in the middle of a costco isle to listen to someone play. The people who stopped to listen clearly had time to spare, and those who passed by either didn’t or just did not care. It’s that simple, really. Don’t get me wrong, he sounds great, but people have stuff to do.
🥱🥱🥱 blah blah blah lol nd dats why all them people stressed and can't figure out why they emotionally drained. Cuz they can never 🛑 and listen. Believe it or not if that person stoped for at least 30secs or 1 min. That classical.sound could actually lower their stress for that day and the rest of the time they shop. U always have time to stop and appreciate. Stop thinking you ALWAYS have to be on the go! Cuz b4 u know it your dead and you spent your short life believing staying busy was life. Smh
Sharing the earbuds and video with my husband is one of my favorite experiences. The grin on his face as he listens to a virtuoso makes me happy. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Hats off to purple sweatshirt Mom, making her child pay attention to something extraordinary while almost everyone else just strolls on by. Well done Mom. Well done.
I truly admire people who can play a musical instrument. I can't play because I have a tin ear and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. But, I do recognize skill when I see and hear it. This kid is great.
I always found it amazing that some people are completely oblivious and unresponsive to beautiful music. There’s clearly an entire piece of their soul that’s missing.
Same thing with poetry. same thing with ballet. same thing with anything that you don't dedicate a lifetime learning. These days you just need a computer and GarageBand and voila, instant billboard top hits!
@@prometheanevent That people don't care to appreciate music when they are trying to shop for groceries. It really shouldn't be that difficult of a concept to understand. It sounds pretty snobby to complain about in my opinion.
@@samhyde2339 it really shouldn’t be difficult to understand my point. There are people who appreciate and notice beautiful things like music, art, nature, friendship, etc. and there are many who really are oblivious to some degree as they pursue mundane chores. I’m perplexed by it. That’s a valid observation. If you want to project snobbery on my position, go for it.
Videos like this are what make me appreciate a platform like UA-cam; there's so much incredible talent out there that we would never otherwise see or hear, if we didn't see it here. (Conversely, there's a lot of stuff on YT that should never been seen by anyone :O )
That wee man was enthralled, Bravo to his Mum for keeping them both there and I tip my hat to you for providing such greatness. Who walks past that without stopping, really?
It's so amazing how this music is one of an small amount of type of music that makes people stop and just enjoy it, I don't know any people to hear "regueton" and think "omg that sounds delightful I'm gonna stop to enjoy it" 😂
Amazing performance. Thank you to the Mom in the purple sweater who stopped with her young son to really listen..... people take a few seconds out of your " got to get to the next sale ", to appreciate something so rare. Slow down!!
Bit racist, no? Edit: the argument is dead...stop replying Edit 2: like I said stop replying. I’m not reading your strung out essays. The misconception has already been resolved
Ditto! It's all about "solving" the songs, for me: picking pieces harder than my current level and learning how to put them together in my head and with my hands.
youll most likely exceed this level as long as you keep up your practice (and practice well, little tip from me dont do your scales and other exercises like a robot. try to make them as musical as you would any piece. in the real world you wont ever need to play like a robot, and practicing like one will only hurt your playing.)
Wait, I remember hearing that in the store when I was shopping with my mother…THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT THAT WAS A VIDEO OR SOMETHING PLAYING I DIDN’T THINK SOMEONE WAS ACTUALLY PLAYING!!!
@@alfredosauce6611 Thank you so much! I hope to be able to let him give a concert at the place where i have my dayfilling. It's in the Netherlands and we need 300 fans for that event *:D*
1:26 "Practice 40 hours a day or end up like this guy". Wait, there's only 24 hours in a day??? My brain hurts. But seriously dude, this guy is really good. Well done sir.
How can you not stop and take 5 mins out of your day and listen to beautiful music? What is wrong with people? If this happened to me it would be the highlight of the day, week,... probably month!

The people who stopped to listen clearly had time to spare, and those who passed by either didn’t or just did not care. It’s that simple, really. Don’t get me wrong, he sounds great, but people have stuff to do.
Also there are alot of good piano players in the world. So maybe these are musicians walking by lol!
Yea they do have a lot to do, they gotta go sit on their couch and watch tv
Also if i was there even if no one cares ab me, i’d still be embarassed to just stand in there
This is why I am not horrified by nukes anymore.
🥱🥱🥱 blah blah blah lol nd dats why all them people stressed and can't figure out why they emotionally drained. Cuz they can never 🛑 and listen. Believe it or not if that person stoped for at least 30secs or 1 min. That classical.sound could actually lower their stress for that day and the rest of the time they shop. U always have time to stop and appreciate. Stop thinking you ALWAYS have to be on the go! Cuz b4 u know it your dead and you spent your short life believing staying busy was life. Smh
Seeing the mom talk to her son and pointing and explaining things to him about him playing made me so happy to see
This sounds so beautiful. The piano is such a warming Instrument, it also brings people together
The pure power of "I own the whole piano so I'm gonna use the whole piano" is being transmitted to him and it empowers him to do the same
It’s many peoples’ dream to flex a difficult song in front of many passing by customers.
I'm doing it at the airports. Its funny when everyone pretend nothing happens. Nothings changed. I'll sit here not doing anything. Wait is that a fly?
most entertaining video during my UA-cam walk today. Hats off.
At the end: Yeah it’s a pretty good piano *Moves away*
By the way, You are awesome bro, I have subscribed to all your channels, I love your videos
Same
Kudos to the mom and son who weren’t too self conscious to be the first to stop and enjoy this talent.
Yamaha rep: Ok. You buy piano now?
Pianist: No.
Lol XDXDD
"I'm just free sampling the piano, but thanks for offering"
Absolutely beautiful. To hear an instrument played the way it is meant to be played is such a privilege.
Sharing the earbuds and video with my husband is one of my favorite experiences. The grin on his face as he listens to a virtuoso makes me happy. Thank you for sharing your gift.
"Sir.......you got the job. Welcome to the Costco family."
This tells me that I need to practice
Hats off to purple sweatshirt Mom, making her child pay attention to something extraordinary while almost everyone else just strolls on by. Well done Mom. Well done.
2:25
why did that give me nostalgia like it sounded like the pokemon song...
seriously!!! sapphire and ruby definitely
Totally!! It brought back my childhood memories of playing Pokemon Emerald on sunny saturday afternoons :')
YES, it sounds very similar to Verdanturf Town's theme.
@@solridge YEAH that's what i was thinking
@@jesuki bingo
Shout out to the dude keeping up with the pages, I wouldn’t know where the heck he’s at.
Vid said he was the Yamaha rep, he probably plays the piano too.
@@Waltzyy
And, one might find it surprisingly easy to follow along with such a song, even for the unmusical.
1:29 "practice 40 hours a day or end up like this guy" I see somebody is trying to raise the next Lingling lol
It's amazing to me to watch so many people just walk by, as if there isn't a concert pianist right there playing like nobody's business.
The “existential crisis deepens” TOOK ME OUT HAHAHA😂😂😂
That kid will probably go on to become a pianist or a failed one that practiced for a week or so
Im the latter. I spent a long time practicing and stuff but started quite late
I have a question, is starting at 12 years old a bit late? I started at 12 and I already feel discouraged.
@@mahboombox7860 I'ts never too late
I am passioned about playing the piano for years, and it's better late than sorry c:
@@mahboombox7860 In no way is starting at 12 too late!
I like Potatoes no! That’s fine! Carry on you won’t regret it!
“PRACTICE 40 HOURS A DAY OR END LIKE THIS GUY” Bruh Your Lie in April vibes.

@@johnlu8041 it’s an anime
@@danielle7621 isn't this a twosetviolin reference?
Uhhhh, wrong reference...
@@pancakedroid I know I said “vibes”
I truly admire people who can play a musical instrument. I can't play because I have a tin ear and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. But, I do recognize skill when I see and hear it. This kid is great.
I always found it amazing that some people are completely oblivious and unresponsive to beautiful music. There’s clearly an entire piece of their soul that’s missing.
Same thing with poetry. same thing with ballet. same thing with anything that you don't dedicate a lifetime learning. These days you just need a computer and GarageBand and voila, instant billboard top hits!
Or people just don't care as much as you do? Have you ever thought of that?
@@samhyde2339 - your point being...?
@@prometheanevent That people don't care to appreciate music when they are trying to shop for groceries. It really shouldn't be that difficult of a concept to understand. It sounds pretty snobby to complain about in my opinion.
@@samhyde2339 it really shouldn’t be difficult to understand my point. There are people who appreciate and notice beautiful things like music, art, nature, friendship, etc. and there are many who really are oblivious to some degree as they pursue mundane chores.
I’m perplexed by it. That’s a valid observation. If you want to project snobbery on my position, go for it.
Videos like this are what make me appreciate a platform like UA-cam; there's so much incredible talent out there that we would never otherwise see or hear, if we didn't see it here. (Conversely, there's a lot of stuff on YT that should never been seen by anyone :O )
Seriously this is an incredible performance. His interpretation is amazing
That wee man was enthralled, Bravo to his Mum for keeping them both there and I tip my hat to you for providing such greatness.
Who walks past that without stopping, really?
How people are incapable of stopping and enjoying free amazing shows like this is something I'll never understand.
That young boy who stopped in awe was inspired!
We need to motivate and inspire the future generation. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This must happen on a regular basis in Costco, as most of the other shoppers seamed very casual about someone playing the piano at genius level.
It's so amazing how this music is one of an small amount of type of music that makes people stop and just enjoy it, I don't know any people to hear "regueton" and think "omg that sounds delightful I'm gonna stop to enjoy it" 😂
I swear in every video like this, there's at least one kid awestruck who stays throughout the performance
Everyone making 40 hour twosetviolin jokes makes my heart warm
Amazing performance. Thank you to the Mom in the purple sweater who stopped with her young son to really listen..... people take a few seconds out of your " got to get to the next sale ", to appreciate something so rare. Slow down!!
The real MVP was the Yamaha rep
I'll never forget you buddy
He's having Flashbacks about how his Asian parents locked up in his room until he could play this
Bit racist, no?
Edit: the argument is dead...stop replying
Edit 2: like I said stop replying. I’m not reading your strung out essays. The misconception has already been resolved
@@iamlegend5373 it's a joke

I know I'll never reach this level, but I can't help playing anyway, because it's not about how good you are, it's how much you enjoy it.
Same, except I play a string instrument instead.
Ditto! It's all about "solving" the songs, for me: picking pieces harder than my current level and learning how to put them together in my head and with my hands.
Most important thing is your enjoyment 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
youll most likely exceed this level as long as you keep up your practice (and practice well, little tip from me dont do your scales and other exercises like a robot. try to make them as musical as you would any piece. in the real world you wont ever need to play like a robot, and practicing like one will only hurt your playing.)
Oh my GOD!!! I am surprised there is not a huge crowd around this amazing player!
It brings a tear to my eye. Beethoven lives! It's amazing how powerful his music was.
Wait, I remember hearing that in the store when I was shopping with my mother…THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT THAT WAS A VIDEO OR SOMETHING PLAYING I DIDN’T THINK SOMEONE WAS ACTUALLY PLAYING!!!
After playing.
Yamaha Rep: you played great, so whatcha think? Gonna buy it?
Pianist: Nah I’m good
this casual clip is far much better than studio solo, the relaxation of his face and movement is really master piece
This is actually so entertaining to watch how do you only have 400 subs
This is his 4th channel.
I guess a lot of MusicalBasics subscribers have no idea of his other channels.
Otherwise he would have more subs here.
Watch this space!
@@Crea-Bea-Explosie I'll have to check out his other channels then
@@alfredosauce6611 Thank you so much!
I hope to be able to let him give a concert at the place where i have my dayfilling.
It's in the Netherlands and we need 300 fans for that event *:D*
786
To be able to read sheet music like that... wow. He’s even got the sales rep turning the pages for him!
1:26 "Practice 40 hours a day or end up like this guy". Wait, there's only 24 hours in a day??? My brain hurts. But seriously dude, this guy is really good. Well done sir.
search 2set violin then you will understand😅

How can you not stop and take 5 mins out of your day and listen to beautiful music? What is wrong with people? If this happened to me it would be the highlight of the day, week,... probably month!
