Nice explanation & reaction video : ) Have you watched a Japanese film called "Hitsuji to hagane no mori" (forest of wool & steel)? The story is about a piano tuner. It is an interesting story : )
Fun fact: it’s not made in midi. Check the sound track credit. The recording is played by a female pianist that works in the Jay’s company. She’s good.
If after thinking that some of those pieces were actually difficult and got shutdown by Evgeny saying it is easy, remember, this is the guy who said that Clair de la Lune, nocturne in C# minor, etc are for beginners
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼 I am not at all questioning his musicianship and artistry. This speaks for itself. Regarding the passage in question, I couldn’t find any video of him playing it live with the same speed and accuracy. Perhaps you have seen something I have not? 🤔
@@EvgenyGenchev Hi, I like your reaction. You could search “Jay Chou” in UA-cam, he often played piano in the vocal concert. Maybe he cannot plays so accurately with one hand, but you can’t deny that it is just a form of artist expression and Jay is a great pianist.
@@leonardossecret126 Jay Chou is a good pianist, but what is played with one hand in that clip is probably unplayable. Maybe some world class concert pianist with ridiculously good technique could attempt it, but I think it still wouldn't be possible to go beyond 80-90 percent of that tempo, and there would be liberties taken.
Jay chou is a highly praised musician and composer. He played everything in the movie, as well as arranged both performances for him and the opponent, he also coached the opponent during the filming of the movie. Regardless of how professional you are and what you think music should be, I really think you should just enjoy the scene and maybe do a bit of research before going these reactions. Anyway good video, cheers
@@EvgenyGenchev you should do the Your Lie in April anime, that was the movie that you reacted to. You should watch the final scene with Chopin's Ballade.
How can you be sure that the synchronization issues you noticed are not caused by faulty editing, or by the video quality that you are reacting to? I watched too many video piano performances and synchronizations issues happens all the time, even in LIVE performance wherein there is a delay of audio transmission. Have you tried editing the video like adjusting the audio with the video?
final song of the battle they played has been performed live on Jay's Tour I think after the movie premiered for the first time. ua-cam.com/video/7ZCwXpTDmPk/v-deo.html and youtube + the quality of that upload well yeah its hard to judge from that, if you do get a chance do watch the film "Secret" as its called! but yeah just a quick mention nice video man.
this live performance has the piece slightly rearranged, at least for the non playable part (the quick thirds) as mentioned by Evgeny, you can tell as they added rubato to that phrase with rearranged notes, and the left hand version was not played live.
The piano "battle" is utterly stupid. Music is an art, it's not about how fast you can play but how clear you make the notes sing with emotions and beauty, and how skillful you control the notes and balance the "voices". By sheer speed alone, any computer program can play faster than any human!
I enjoy that movie, though it is no longer available on Amazon Prime. This movie starts and ends with time travel via piano, and the guys in the back are football players who know nothing about music. But, as a literal fellow, and adult beginner piano student, I enjoyed your review and subscribed :) Edit: Legend of 1900 battle would be a fun review
Note: there is an organ locally that was built by a high school teacher over several decades. You can literally sit in it and watch it work. Those seats are hot tickets for the Santa Cruz Baroque festival
Exactly what I had in mind. Legend of 1900 is a great movie overshadowed by Titanic. Music by the late great Morricone, and featuring a highly stylized "battle scene"
It's an interesting subject ! . I mean if it was " hyperthetically speaking " ethically viable , to have piano battles they would have to be competitions in which the might of the great people whom first invented the piano were put to the test against those whom invented the best techneques , methods and dare i say " systems " , coupled with those whom for one reason or another , seem to have the ability to preconcieve all the above mentioned and additionally can play on them to there heart's content . Essentially this would mean that there would be two main categories ( with plenty of subdivisions ) such as you have in break dancing , I.e power movers and then the more contortion based dancers . However , thankfully we live in a world whare conservation is key when it comes to the playing of an instrument and we know that competing in that manor , would lessen the popularity and creative development of piano playing and it's music . Very much different to those arts/sports in which popularity can only truelly be achieved when the image of the activity is enhanced through competition . Therefore we let it remain either a staged event for show only , or an educational event for aspiring performers who are just starting out . But when opening the curtain on piano music , we see a huge and very competitive market that quite rightly , never shows its colours as being either " directly or indirectly " a commercial area of competition . I guess it all boils down to emotion , passion and skill set , as we know that music is more valuable than most visual arts , due to the very ability of hear being generally more important than that of seeing , the reasons for which are endless but to coin a few . It gives rise to the likes of prediction , premonition , memory , realisation and thought . it's therefore as touched upon . More valuable to humanity .
Please don't judge him too hard 😭😭 for us who love him, have listened to his music and who don't know piano well or even don't play piano at all, this battle/show is good enough, really...❤️ Actually among asian movies, few ones have so many piano (classical vibe) playing scenes (this is just one of them), like: when jay chou and the female character have fun chatting and playing piano duet together; when jay chou and another student do the battle; when female character was depressed she played in sad vibe; and when the female character found a mysterious book of music sheets, and when she played the songs in that book, something magical happened (that's why the movie is called "Secret", if u translate it literally, the name should be "The secret that cannot be told"). Those classical-vibe piano playings make the movie a comforting and elegant masterpiece (at least many people think so); and jay chou himself is a musician whose music style is special, a little weird and interesting and, at the same time, good listening (at least many people think so); besides, the way he sings and talks got his own style, so does his rapping style (not sure u who play classical music is interested in rap stuff), so among the years he appears in chinese music world, he became a sign of the music style of that era. It's why so many chinese speaking people speak good of him
I've just watched this and it was fun. Thank you. There is a film out this year, Emma, which has paid amazing attention to detail. As someone into both music (especially anything pre-Roman tic era) and costume I found this a balm for the soul In Emma the actors play the showpiece musical pieces. Emma (Anya Taylor-Joy) in the film plays and sings not very well (but that is the point) then Miss Fairfax (Amber Anderson) plays in a completely different class.. It's a brilliant scene. Later the hero, Mr Knightly (Johnny Flynn) brings in his violin and performs a duet with Miss Fairfax Johnny is also a professional folk musician and wrote and performed some of the music for the film.
I think everyone missed the point that if it was recorded live in that room, it would sound like shit. So it should be 100% out of sync because it’s impossible to maintain the exact same speed when last played. Jay Chou is the kind of Asian that beats us in everyway possible
Hey Evgeny, Great reaction! Im a new sub as well, can you maybe react to them playing the piano battle in a real performance. Its from a girl and a boy, but beside that great video!
This movie is basically fingernails down a chalkboard....in every cringey way, shape and form possible. When I was in high school, every person in my music class challenged me to do the same things these guys were doing. Even while studying at a conservatory, despite playing Op.10 No.5 at performance tempo, a few non-pianists would asked "bUt CaN yOu pLaY iT in WHITE kEys?!"😂😂 You express all the incredulity we as pianists had to endure with this scene 😂😂
This is exactly what the movie is portraying 😊. The second guy is a famous composer-singer, Jay Chou, and this movie (Secret) is his debut as director as tribute to his high school where he majored in piano and minor in cello. The filming is in the school itself. In the story, he is a transferred student from another school. The students hold impromptu ‘battle sessions’ after school. In this scene, he was called upon to do a ‘battle’ with the Prince of Piano to showcase his skills. In real live, he was talent spotted when he accompanied his junior for a talent show competition on a tv show as keyboard player. He was talent spotted not because he played the keyboard well but the music scores he did caught the eye of the tv host who also owns a record company. He hired him as composer. When some of his songs were rejected by accomplished singers because they were unusual and some even commented that it cannot be sung, his boss asked him if he could sing them instead. Which he did and the boss decided to promote him as a singer and his first album created a storm in the chinese music industry as it was very unique. He continues to create great music and inspired many not to be afraid of being rejected.
This movie is very famous in Asian, and everyone know Jay Chou can play piano very well, this word is from pianist Lang Lang also, you just a small character who want to get more views .
for example , you think you are a good enough student in your class , But you are still a student following others, your style is not flexible , you stuck with rules, jay chou maybe is not the professional enough panio player around the world, but remember, this movie you seen is a mutiply interaction of all the factors Including drama, character, audience, and vibe , you can't imgine it. Thats why you cant create songs.

jay chou is the best composer and singer in Aisa
If after thinking that some of those pieces were actually difficult and got shutdown by Evgeny saying it is easy, remember, this is the guy who said that Clair de la Lune, nocturne in C# minor, etc are for beginners
But they are as long as you have decently sized hands then these pieces are easy
Jay Chou is a good pianist and composer
All he is saying is this is fake by saying its out of sync but they are actually good in playing the piano.
Don’t judge thing you can’t image doing by yourself. Jay never do something fake.
But this is a nice reaction.

@@EvgenyGenchev you should do the Your Lie in April anime, that was the movie that you reacted to. You should watch the final scene with Chopin's Ballade.
I love your reaction! It reminds me of myself when it comes to singers.
11:30 I actually can see the return that you called in the film. Also for many parts you mentioned, I do not understand why the film is not real play.
And the speed is playable. There is a live version in his world tour 2007 and many cover versions from other pianists on the UA-cam.
Since the contestant is a popular singer in real life, it was really about how cool he looks for girls 😂
Dude, Jay Chou is next level musician

Where do u come from?
They battled for the~ Swan，you can also listen to “Bicycle“ and “Lu Xiao Yu“ from Secret
final song of the battle they played has been performed live on Jay's Tour I think after the movie premiered for the first time.

What is the third piece that's playing
the one conceded promised to give a musical piece( Swan) to the other side
THE VIDEO WE"VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Would you react to the piano battle scene from the movie "The legend of 1900"?
Oh yeah! The winning piece in The legend of 1900 is actually written for 4 hands. In the movie is played with 2.
Exactly what I had in mind. Legend of 1900 is a great movie overshadowed by Titanic. Music by the late great Morricone, and featuring a highly stylized "battle scene"
This is a Taiwanese movie. It’s very classic. South Korea is going to be remade 2021.
The guy is not a professional pianist! His name is JayChou, he is the king of China pop, and a music producer. This movie was directed by himself!🥰
Good stuff! Do make more videos like this one. I play the piano myself and you're on point. Totally enjoyed it!

It's said that Liszt used to participate in piano battles
Jay Chou is better pop songwriter .his friend Lang Lang is piano master and yundi Lee 😀
Please don't judge him too hard 😭😭 for us who love him, have listened to his music and who don't know piano well or even don't play piano at all, this battle/show is good enough, really...❤️
