That's called true pitch for those that are curious, it's where you recognize the timbre of an instrument (in this case piano) and based on that you can recognize pitch
@@mr.blueberry9788 On the same matter I'd like to ask you a question. My formation is singing and when I sing I recognise the position of my throat and can easily assimilate it to a note. So if someone asks me to sing a note I can do it istantly and it'll be just. But it doesn't mean that when I hear a note I can recognise it (or at least I can't without singing it). Is that true pitch too?
yeah, i was pretty much able to recognise that something was weird about them, and since i am a musician i figured that it can only be the keys ..... but i dont have perfect pitch
@@quamorant133Yeah, but to be probable, it has to be a valid test. This does not test whether or not someone has perfect pitch. Anyone who knows the pieces can either look at what he's physically playing or just listen to it and recognise that it sounds different.
@@alasdairduncan3yeah, but it takes effort to know where the intervals change to be able to play it in those keys, whether or not switched to those keys misplay or just played them starting with the transposed key ^^
it's not too hard but changing the key of la campanella is still extremely impressive since playing that piece is a different key is just straight up pain (try it in A minor for example)
Nah man, this doesn't test perfect pitch. Most musicians have what I term 'key center recall' for music they have listened to in the past, but that's not absolute pitch.
@@MaxHBass Yep, I don't have perfect pitch, but I could tell the second he started playing that the first 2 songs were in a different key. Only reason I wasn't sure about the third one is because I haven't heard that song too many time, nor in a while.
This has nothing to do with perfect pitch, the fact that someone is able to tell that the pieces where not in their original key is mostly because of how familiar we are with the originals and has more to do with relative pitch than perfect pitch. I don’t have perfect pitch, but I was able to tell that the pieces where in the wrong key due to my more classically trained ear, and I’m willing to bet that anyone with even a the slightest bit of ear training could do the same. Perfect pitch is a pretty rare thing to have, and you may just end up confusing those who don’t know much about music theory into believing that they have something the don’t. You sounded good tho.
You’re just wrong. A simple Google search or two will help you understand the difference between *relative* and *absolute* pitch (i.e. long term pitch memory). Relative pitch would not allow you to discern whether a song is in the correct key. Only pitch memory and pitch discrimination together can allow for that.
Fur Elise was played in Bb minor, 1 key higher than its original Alla Turca was played in G# minor, 1 key below its original And La Campanella was played in F# minor, 2 keys lower than it’s original.
1.) Fur Elise was transposed to Bb minor instead of its original key A minor half step higher 2.) Alla Turca was transposed a half step lower to Ab minor instead of Aminor 3.) La Campanella was transposed to F# minor instead of its original key Ab minor a whole step down Been playing piano since the age of 2 so this is really fun to still be able to test the fundamentals
I'm not a pianist but a guitarist. But since I have good ears, I was also able to guess the key in which he played. But holy shit you played piano when you were 2? At that age I was probably still peeing in my bed, and I didn't even know how to walk
I don't have perfect pitch, but even I could tell fur Elise was in a wrong key. The second one sounded normal to me, and la campanella sounded just a little off. I do not have perfect pitch, but different keys do have different feels to them, and I can differentiate them a bit based on that.
I wasn't screaming, crying or throwing up but I did feel very disturbed and annoyed listening to the songs despite only ever hearing one of them before
I have perfect pitch but I don't think you need perfect pitch to understand this. Btw it's crazy impressive that you can play these in other keys is pretty nice!
When I heard this for some reason my brain went like "wait, something ain't right here" 😂 Don't know about perfect pitch, but whenever a song is stuck in my head it's always in the right frequency - tested it by recording myself singing the melody and comparing it to the original and so far it always worked out perfectly 🤔
@@tenor1190 What do you mean? I can sing any note you tell me. I can also sing any note from any song I remember. This reproductive singing is an "active perfect pitch."
tfw you know fur elise well enough to know what's happened to it, but you don't know either of the other two pieces well enough to tell how they've been heretically mangled
1. In Bb minor (higher) but the original key is A minor 2. In Ab minor (lower) but once again should be in A minor 3. In F# minor (lower) but should be in Ab minor
“You probably have perfect pitch” seems a little too optimistic lol, I heard the tone differences and I can quantify them, but I know for sure that I don’t have perfect pitch
People without perfect pitch can hear the tone differences, but people with perfect pitch will think the entire song has changed (since every note is now different)
This is a test of familiarity. The last piece I have never heard before so I couldn't know whether it was wrong or not. The other two on the other hand, were Killing me
Just a guess, but what your saying is he played everything correctly, but the difference is in the octave in which he played it? So pitch wad to high or low, but the notes where correct? The difference between a soprano, alto, baritone, and bass?
@@scottking5555He played them in different keys, fur Elise is in A minor, he played it in B flat minor, alla turca is A major, he played it in A flat major. La campanella is in A flat minor, he played it in G flat minor. So each note was a step or half step higher or lower then they're supposed to be.
yeah! especially with la campanella! i learned moonlight sonata (1st movement) in the wrong key and transposed it to the right key, but it took me over an hour and i screwed up a couple of times
I can hear that the music is played quite nicely and the piano seems to be pretty much in tune within itself. Without comparison I can't tell whether it's in the original key or not. Bread.
I've never heard the last song he played but it still sounded very off. I thought the same thing you did,.I have no comparison but as soon as he started playing it was like tasting a fruit that has all the characteristics of being sweet but it was very sour.
Different keys have different colors and sounds; they also cause pieces to take place in different ranges. Even if you don’t have perfect pitch, you can prob hear that the bottom note in Fur Elise doesn’t sound as rich as you’re used to bc it has been transposed into another key that caused it to be played higher. This skill is something that’s tested for in some music theory exams.
To me it doesn't matter how rich or bright or whatever it sounds. Only frequency matters. Relative frequency. To me, if you move the melody up and down keyboard, it's the same to me. No, it doesn't sound the same, it sounds "correct". Like, I, a male, sometimes sing female songs. Would be silly for me to even try that opera high "Mater, mater inferorum...". I just sing it lower. Yes, I'm not a music guy, I'm physics guy.
no, songs transposed up tend to sound less "rich" than if they are transposed down. Assuming you have a base comparison, such as already knowing the song. Just a quirk of the human mind
I could tell by watching his hands that he was playing Fur Elise 1 transposed one semi-tone up - the first two notes are E, D#, the piece is in A minor. Instead he plays F, E, etc. i.e. A# (or B flat) minor. Very clever to play so skillfully.
That's an interesting take. I for one could sense a pinch of salt wasn't added since the flavor was a little adstringent. By the end, I could definitely tell wheat flour was not proportionally present to the cinnemon although the vanilla made it too smooth. Approved nonetheless.
Still the best test of perfect pitch are the whistlers at work.... If very few people who whistle a song or something please your ear and you basically recognize there's something wrong which makes your head ache: you could consider having perfect pitch 😂
Absolutely. This is such a musical elitist concept. I had never even heard of perfect pitch til I was 18 but if harmony is wrong or off key I can’t stand it yet a friend with perfect pitch is not bothered. Do you know that perfect pitch disappears as you get older because you lose the higher frequencies. Also some perfect pitch is caused by associating colours to notes. You see the colour, you hear the note.
As soon as you started playing each segment I knew you were playing them in different keys than their originals, though I don't believe i have perfect pitch at all. Oh yeah, bread.
@@XViTNg The music was transposed to different keys. Many people without perfect pitch will pick that up too. I didn't say which group I was in, just that it made me feel sick which is the truth. I know these peices very well - peices that are common ones for people to learn how to play by heart were picked. Don't blame me for the title of the video - it was clearly a joke that you didn't get.
My step brother plays piano, and I can always hear it from my side of the house so whenever he plays the wrong now playing Fur Elise or any other sheet music, I text him “wrong note” and he doesn’t even notice it until I text him it lol
it sounded perfect to me and i can play all the songs myself 😂 i have good relative pitch and technical dexterity. but i am utterly hopeless on the absolute scale...
Fur Elise is in A# minor. Alla Turca is in G# minor (La Campanella's primary key). La Campanella is in F# minor There correct keys: Fur Elise and Alla Turca: A Minor La Campanella: G# Minor Ima spread my bread...
You could have something called absolute pitch, which is basically a prerequisite to perfect pitch. Functionally, the only difference is how quickly you can identify or produce a note. Sometimes people without absolute pitch can also detect a key change due to timbral differences, especially depending on the temperament.
Not having perfect pitch is great because I can change keys when singing so easily, even when reading sheet music. If you give me a D and tell me it’s a C, I will just accept the shifted pitch and be able to read and sing with no problem. If you have perfect pitch, you would have to transpose each note. Sounds difficult.
perfect pitch test would be when u play a random note with us not seeing it and us knowing what note that was that would be perfect pitch and not to just know if a piece was played wrong
@@nicolab2075 It would be be possible even for a person without musical eduaction if they just hear the piece often than u could also hear a mistake in it
@@qwertzqui3091 That's true. I was more thinking of an online test where people could test themselves by writing down E# etc., which you would need music knowledge to do.
Man probably has perfect pitch when he has the ability to transpose the songs. Yes, i was crying, screaming and throwing up but impressed of that skill.
That ain’t even what perfect pitch is. Hearing that a song is in the wrong key is just our brains recognising it isn’t how we last heard it. Perfect pitch is being able to name the key it’s in. Someone with perfect pitch could hear a tap of a glass and tell what key it is.
Yes but if you hear that difference like that you have what it takes to learn it in a really short time. You just need to learn the names of the notes. Before I did I thought everybody heard if people whistle, sing or play in tge wring key. After many years of just playing drums realized if I just rename the notes I will have perfect pitch, so I did and now i can call out notes instead of saying "the first note in this or that song you know"
@@jonathanmellqvist2 perfect pitch is unlearnable. you can realize what a note is by recognition of a song or something. but you wouldnt be able to do it as easy as naming a colour if you saw it. People with perfect pitch dont learn perfect pitch. It is something as easy to them as saying what colour they see. They dont need to think about it.
also perfect pitch isn't just being able to tell a pitch of an instrument, perfect pitch could also be something like someone just banging a wall or tapping a glass.
@@LeonGale06 @Leon Gale I never said perfect pitch is something you can learn. I said if you have THIS ability then you can learn (develop) perfect pitch because you already have a perception and a feeling of notes and can orient yourself in that . Not everybody has this ability, it is the same thing as perfect pitch. Or do you mean people with perfect pitch were born knowing A Ab B Bb C etc? And if they dont know the name of the notes, just know the sound of it and have their own system, they dont have perfect pitch? Then what the * do they have? Because that's something most people cannot do. You think people sing and whistle in tune at all times so calling out notes from that doesn't count? Perfect pitch is having the ability to remember how notes sound, that's something most people can't do. It's something weird with the brain. Perfect pitch is not knowing modern name if notes. People can have perfect pitch without knowing it. Like me, and my dad. I didn't spend time learning melodic instruments so I had my own system. Once I realized this I tested my dad and it turned out he also has it. He was 40 when he learned he has perfect pitch. Before this he was still able to hear a noice somewhere and say that's the same note as that song, and be right. So if he just took the time to learn the names of the notes instead of certain songs.. yeah

The mental energy needed to focus on this is really exhausting, especially the further along you are in the process! I agree, it's a completely superhuman flex!
I actually love how it sounds when I change the key of a melody, so nah, I ain’t throwing up or crying 😂 Idk I feel it satisfying bc it’s like a familiar new song

I just knew it was different 💀
That's an interesting take. I for one could sense a pinch of salt wasn't added since the flavor was a little adstringent. By the end, I could definitely tell wheat flour was not proportionally present to the cinnemon although the vanilla made it too smooth. Approved nonetheless.
I FELT SO UNCOMFORTABLE WITH FUR ELISE. So...I have perfect pitch? Nice, I guess...
That's a form of cheating, though. (ha ha hahaha!).
Still the best test of perfect pitch are the whistlers at work.... If very few people who whistle a song or something please your ear and you basically recognize there's something wrong which makes your head ache: you could consider having perfect pitch 😂
OH SHIT, I was genuinely like “wtf, I know these pieces”
The main problem is that a lot of people don’t know the names of keys, even people with perfect pitch might not know music at all
YES
When you have perfect pitch but terrible memory of what the note was called
Absolutely. This is such a musical elitist concept. I had never even heard of perfect pitch til I was 18 but if harmony is wrong or off key I can’t stand it yet a friend with perfect pitch is not bothered.
Do you know that perfect pitch disappears as you get older because you lose the higher frequencies.
Also some perfect pitch is caused by associating colours to notes. You see the colour, you hear the note.
As soon as you started playing each segment I knew you were playing them in different keys than their originals, though I don't believe i have perfect pitch at all. Oh yeah, bread.
They all sounded sharp to me and my slice of “bread”.
you sir have made me squint and give you a sideways look of disbelief 😅
Bread, I do not need to cry when smth is played in a different key. No worries.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Like i heard the first note was in a different key---is that the thing?
When I also play guitar, it’s so easy to tell that u just play in different key -_-
I feel sick now. I hope you're happy.
Then you suffer from incorrectly believing you have perfect pitch.
This “test” has nothing to do with perfect pitch.
@@XViTNg The music was transposed to different keys. Many people without perfect pitch will pick that up too. I didn't say which group I was in, just that it made me feel sick which is the truth. I know these peices very well - peices that are common ones for people to learn how to play by heart were picked. Don't blame me for the title of the video - it was clearly a joke that you didn't get.
@@XViTNg yep.
Lmao
My step brother plays piano, and I can always hear it from my side of the house so whenever he plays the wrong now playing Fur Elise or any other sheet music, I text him “wrong note” and he doesn’t even notice it until I text him it lol
it sounded perfect to me and i can play all the songs myself 😂 i have good relative pitch and technical dexterity. but i am utterly hopeless on the absolute scale...
Fur Elise is in A# minor. Alla Turca is in G# minor (La Campanella's primary key). La Campanella is in F# minor
There correct keys:
Fur Elise and Alla Turca: A Minor
La Campanella: G# Minor
Ima spread my bread...
True
Even without having perfect pitch, I can tell that each one is played on a different key since I've listened to those pieces quite very often.
Now say what key 😂
@@artyjaycayairlines why would that matter?
You could have something called absolute pitch, which is basically a prerequisite to perfect pitch. Functionally, the only difference is how quickly you can identify or produce a note.
Sometimes people without absolute pitch can also detect a key change due to timbral differences, especially depending on the temperament.
@@artyjaycayairlines Bro I haven't memorized the music theory 🤣
@@AnEnemyAnemone1 Makes sense, thanks man
lmfao i was screaming "ITS FLAT" now i need to eat some bread smh
I may not be crying, but i am literally breaking inside
Not having perfect pitch is great because I can change keys when singing so easily, even when reading sheet music. If you give me a D and tell me it’s a C, I will just accept the shifted pitch and be able to read and sing with no problem. If you have perfect pitch, you would have to transpose each note. Sounds difficult.
Does having perfect pitch exclude relative pitch?
I heard those songs so many times that hearing the first note i knew something is wrong. Btw “bread”
This is the best comment I’ve ever read
Feels like there are stones sitting inside the piano
“Bread”
perfect pitch test would be when u play a random note with us not seeing it and us knowing what note that was that would be perfect pitch and not to just know if a piece was played wrong
Same, I expected him to tell us to name a random note or notes played, perhaps identify chords, harmonic dictation, etc....
Yes, but for people without a musical education that's not doable....
@@nicolab2075 It would be be possible even for a person without musical eduaction if they just hear the piece often than u could also hear a mistake in it
@@qwertzqui3091 That's true. I was more thinking of an online test where people could test themselves by writing down E# etc., which you would need music knowledge to do.
So by his logic if you'd never actually heard those three pieces of music before you can't have perfect pitch ... hmmm
Bread
Exactly what am thinking hahaha
1. Higher
2. Higher
3. Lower
Man probably has perfect pitch when he has the ability to transpose the songs. Yes, i was crying, screaming and throwing up but impressed of that skill.
“Art is our chief means of breaking bread with the dead.”

I didn’t see anything about music, all I saw was bread.
bread !!!!
man I have to rewatch it several times to read it 😢😢
Me: *happy with my perfect pitch because i motcied the sounds are some octaves higher or something*
i admire how you learn to play songs in different keys xx
That ain’t even what perfect pitch is. Hearing that a song is in the wrong key is just our brains recognising it isn’t how we last heard it. Perfect pitch is being able to name the key it’s in. Someone with perfect pitch could hear a tap of a glass and tell what key it is.
Yes but if you hear that difference like that you have what it takes to learn it in a really short time. You just need to learn the names of the notes. Before I did I thought everybody heard if people whistle, sing or play in tge wring key. After many years of just playing drums realized if I just rename the notes I will have perfect pitch, so I did and now i can call out notes instead of saying "the first note in this or that song you know"
@@jonathanmellqvist2 perfect pitch is unlearnable. you can realize what a note is by recognition of a song or something. but you wouldnt be able to do it as easy as naming a colour if you saw it. People with perfect pitch dont learn perfect pitch. It is something as easy to them as saying what colour they see. They dont need to think about it.
also perfect pitch isn't just being able to tell a pitch of an instrument, perfect pitch could also be something like someone just banging a wall or tapping a glass.
@@LeonGale06 npc comment did you even read what I said
@@LeonGale06 @Leon Gale I never said perfect pitch is something you can learn. I said if you have THIS ability then you can learn (develop) perfect pitch because you already have a perception and a feeling of notes and can orient yourself in that . Not everybody has this ability, it is the same thing as perfect pitch.
Or do you mean people with perfect pitch were born knowing A Ab B Bb C etc? And if they dont know the name of the notes, just know the sound of it and have their own system, they dont have perfect pitch? Then what the * do they have? Because that's something most people cannot do. You think people sing and whistle in tune at all times so calling out notes from that doesn't count?
Perfect pitch is having the ability to remember how notes sound, that's something most people can't do. It's something weird with the brain. Perfect pitch is not knowing modern name if notes. People can have perfect pitch without knowing it. Like me, and my dad. I didn't spend time learning melodic instruments so I had my own system. Once I realized this I tested my dad and it turned out he also has it. He was 40 when he learned he has perfect pitch. Before this he was still able to hear a noice somewhere and say that's the same note as that song, and be right. So if he just took the time to learn the names of the notes instead of certain songs.. yeah
BREAD I read the secret note 😂😂😂. Loved the video I apparently have perfect pitch because I just about almost threw my phone across the room.
I do not have perfect pitch but being a musician helped me to develop relative pitch so I can tell that the piece is in diff key
Same for me
Also it's really hard to play when the key is transposed so well done
thats easy bruh
Fur elise! Suppose to start on E then goes on E flat then goes Back to E then continue to do it back and forth😊
That D# at the top of the high notes of La Campanella hurts my ears cause it’s so damn loud, it’s Fr the hardest piano song💀😭❤️🔥!
Something that makes me look smart about music and bread...
you know I really love "Bread"
I really love "Bread," too
I really love "Bread," too
With my clam chowder
@@clamchowder5635 🌝
immediately i went like: "IT SOUNDS SHARPER" (i dont know how to identify keys 😭 )
Man I was like "wtf is this" and had to convince myself it was normal for a second
The ultimate flex! Being proficient in all keys. That's what I gathered as a musician
And being proficient in ALL Instruments and singing all SATB parts of vocal pieces at the SAME TIME and being your own accompanist in at least three of the instruments you've mastered and playing them concurrently by the ripe old age of two although in special cases, the student's age can be deferred to whenever said pupil can reach the apex of these instruments and their full range. There will be no electronics allowed either; this is considered cheating. These are prerequisits for admission to every University Music School, Worldwide, until further notice.

Thank you.
I'm not making fun of your comment, I have a friend who is doing what you're describing in jazz which for me, makes it really that much more impressive! Think M&m 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths all in one's head, and instantly!!! I suppose in jazz, in the bass too, like a figured bass! Wow! I was just thinking of how impossible or at least almost so, to me that would be to do this kind of thing just in a regular chord progression! The mental energy needed to focus on this is really exhausting, especially the further along you are in the process! I agree, it's a completely superhuman flex!
I like to eat "bread" while watching your videos, will!
What you were testing is called true pitch. I don't have perfect pitch, yet I can sing you any specific note
Lol i wasn't sure before but when you started Für elise i was like, 'whyd he start on f' lol
Me who knows how to play all of those 3 pieces and seeing him playing wrong notes: i have perfect pitch
In this video, it depends on how often/well you listen to the piece.
Great Job, Keep Up The Good Work😊👍🏽
(I throughly enjoyed participating in this vid lol)
I’m probably one of the few people to be perfectly fine with you upping the pitch by a half tone; it’s still correct between the notes/intervals.
Everything just sounded sharp, I thought it was the piano. I don’t have perfect pitch so that’s the best i got lol
alla turca and la campanella were flat
I actually love how it sounds when I change the key of a melody, so nah, I ain’t throwing up or crying 😂 Idk I feel it satisfying bc it’s like a familiar new song
All in a different key
I have relative pitch and it's great to know I don't need medical attention. Now I'm gonna go eat bread and butter while trying to figure out how you managed to transpose La Campanella...
Bread.
My family thought it sounds fine, I’m crying
