So glad this sift is here!
I just saw Evelynn Glennie last night in a kick ass performance of a brand-new concerto written especially for her called "Shaman" It was virtuousic and mesemerizing. She is truly a unique talent. So inspiring.

May I suggest http://videosift.com/video/Tine-Thing-Helseth-Hummel-Trumpet-Concerto-in-Eb-3rd-mvt instead then?

Nice song I guess. She may be a great trumpeter, but this song doesn't demonstrate anything beyond good looks and a full sound. The range of this song was confined to an octave... Beginners could play this.

The video and the music don't match. Thanks crotchflame for correcting the summary. I love Beethoven; the entire 5th piano concerto is pure genius.

>> ^crotchflame:

I hate to sound as dickish as this does, but it's Beethoven's 5th piano concerto being played by Alfred Brendel - it isn't Brendel's concerto.


For a name like "crotchflame" I don't think anyone would've expected a comment like that from you lol

nicely done

*quality

the score is the 2nd movement from Mozart's piano concerto #23.

i just tossed it up here if you want to hear the rest.

sifted because atara posted Dinosaur Ballet which only uses the opening 40 sec, before the orchestra comes in, and i thought someone might like to hear the rest.

from the wiki:
The Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major (K. 488) is a musical composition for piano and orchestra written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was finished, according to Mozart's own catalogue, on March 2, 1786, around the time of the premiere of his opera, The Marriage of Figaro. It was one of three subscription concerts given that spring and was probably played by Mozart himself at one of these.

The second, slow movement, in ternary form, is impassioned and somewhat operatic in tone. The piano begins alone with a theme characterized by unusually wide leaps. This is the only movement by Mozart in F sharp minor. The dynamics are soft throughout most of the piece. The middle of the movement contains a brighter section in A major announced by flute and clarinet that Mozart would later use to introduce the trio "Ah! taci ingiusto core!" in his opera Don Giovanni.

One of my favourite classical pieces.


Mine as well. An absolutely brilliant composition.

It's way too complicated. It will never be popular..
>> ^mxxcon:

is this is like an old-school guitar-hero game? follow black and white dots..

I wish I had just a tiny bit of that bastard's talent.

I'm curious, what do you mean exactly?

In reply to this comment by GoodAttorney:
Awesome. It's so hard to start a comment without saying "I wish" after hearing Mozart.

Is this why girls claim they never poop? Because Tchaikovsky's piano concerto plays each time?

For the record, this is Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D, Op. 35, 3rd Movement.

Thanks Kulpims. Under the 15 sift rule I think this is a worthy one to make it
