Hello! I am Lucas and I will be playing a [br]Piano concert for you, today, tonight,
0:00:23.786,0:00:28.920
this morning – I don't know when this is[br]going to be scheduled – about an hour long
0:00:28.920,0:00:34.170
I've picked up some things here, planned,[br]if that takes less than an hour then I'll
0:00:34.170,0:00:38.912
just improvise and play something else as[br]well, but I thought I could start with the
0:00:38.912,0:00:46.754
Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin, so let's [br]start with that, and I hope you'll enjoy.
0:00:49.783,0:03:47.115
Music: Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin
0:03:48.363,0:03:54.748
Alright, that was, more or less, the [br]Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin. And up next
0:03:54.748,0:04:01.656
I wanted to play this one: By Franz Liszt,[br]Polonaise in g minor. I think there's more
0:04:01.656,0:04:06.430
than one of those, but I'll look up the ID[br]later on and probably put it in a
0:04:06.430,0:04:11.249
description or something for a full [br]tracklist, in case someone wants that.
0:04:12.615,0:07:05.299
Music: Polonaise in g minor [br]by Frédéric Chopin
0:07:08.029,0:07:14.238
I'm not quite sure if the finish was where[br]I put it, or it should've been one earlier
0:07:14.238,0:07:17.451
and I should have just repeated this part [br]plays chord but not plays chord this
0:07:17.451,0:07:25.680
part, I'm not sure. I don't have the sheet[br]music here with me, so too bad. What's
0:07:25.680,0:07:36.369
next? Aha, yes! Next I wanted to play a[br]Song by Tom Lehrer. Let me say that again
0:07:36.369,0:07:41.294
without facing away from the microphone: a[br]song by Tom Lehrer, who has very recently
0:07:41.294,0:07:45.906
done a wonderful thing and put all of his[br]songs into the Public Domain, which is
0:07:45.906,0:07:49.295
great, because otherwise I would not be[br]able to play them here for at least another
0:07:49.295,0:07:55.204
seventy years, because the man's still [br]alive – ninety-something, I think – but
0:07:55.204,0:08:00.689
since he has done that I am now able to[br]praise this wonderful song and play it
0:08:00.689,0:08:05.645
again for you. "The Elements," you've[br]probably heard it, I think, maybe not.
0:08:05.645,0:08:07.037
We'll see.
0:08:07.037,0:08:10.904
Music
0:08:10.904,0:08:22.261
No, wait. I forgot I do not know the words[br]to The Elements by heart. I used to at some
0:08:22.261,0:08:32.882
point, but then I forgot. So I need my[br]phone here with me to show me the lyrics.
0:08:32.882,0:08:35.160
There we go!
0:08:35.160,0:10:00.044
Music: The Elements by Tom Lehrer
0:10:00.044,0:10:09.237
Tada! Well, kind of. "The Elements" by Tom[br]Lehrer. And next someone requested that I
0:10:09.237,0:10:13.727
play – my phone decided to reload the page[br]for some reason – but requested that I
0:10:13.727,0:10:19.459
play "Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja" from[br]Mozart's "The Magic Flute." So I can do
0:10:19.459,0:10:27.934
that next. Or some version of it, I guess.[br]I'm not going to sing this one, so let's
0:10:27.934,0:10:30.173
turn off the microphone.
0:10:33.030,0:11:31.090
Music: Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja[br]by Wolfang Amadeus Mozart
0:11:31.090,0:11:40.101
Okay. What was I going to play next?[br]Okay, some Jazz Improvisation, sure.
0:11:40.101,0:11:47.744
So the way I can do that is I have this[br]loop pedal down here, the red thing,
0:11:47.744,0:11:54.752
which I can use to record myself playing[br]some background chords and rhythm, maybe
0:11:54.752,0:12:23.499
something like this: plays music[br]You know what, no, I messed that one up,
0:12:23.499,0:12:28.616
but let's just demo the thing, quickly, so[br]I could turn up or down the volume.
0:12:28.616,0:12:34.137
Music reduces in volume
0:12:34.137,0:12:37.447
And now it's just going to loop forever,[br]and I think I messed up the break, let's
0:12:37.447,0:12:45.642
listen. Yeah, no, let's try again. So I[br]tap it twice to erase the recording, and
0:12:45.642,0:13:12.820
let's try that again: plays music
0:13:12.820,0:13:20.543
Okay, that sounds better. And now I can[br]just play along whatever I want: plays
0:13:20.543,0:16:22.536
Music: Jazz Improvisation[br]by Lucas Werkmeister
0:16:22.536,0:16:25.684
Kind of like that. The ending is always[br]tricky, because I have to suddenly stop
0:16:25.684,0:16:36.947
the loop and then it should still sound[br]kind of decent. Well. So far I'm starting
0:16:36.947,0:16:41.505
to realise that I arranged this pretty[br]poorly, because I put a lot of short
0:16:41.505,0:16:49.057
things at the front. But, well, let's do[br]some longer things then, now, and see if
0:16:49.057,0:16:53.662
that still fills an hour. So the next thing[br]I thought I wanted to play or I could play
0:16:53.662,0:17:00.241
was this Fantasy in c minor by Mozart, and[br]I think there's only one of those, so that
0:17:00.241,0:17:06.532
is unambiguous – I might be wrong – I can[br]put this K number somewhere later.
0:17:06.532,0:17:09.703
I don't know why I did this, because I do[br]not have sheet music for this one either.
0:17:09.703,0:17:15.518
so let's put that right away again. [br]"Fantasy in c minor," by Mozart.
0:17:18.742,0:25:10.402
Music: Fantasia in c minor[br]by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
0:25:11.643,0:25:17.575
Well, mostly, that was there. Made a few[br]mistakes, sorry. What do I want to play
0:25:17.575,0:25:29.781
next? Some more Scott Joplin was what I[br]wanted to play next. No, actually,
0:25:29.781,0:25:36.719
nevermind. It'll just turn itself around[br]on the page anyways and I think I can play
0:25:36.719,0:25:41.524
this one by heart as well, so let's just[br]do that. I should say what I'm going to
0:25:41.524,0:25:56.965
play. I'm going to play "Cleopha" by Scott[br]Joplin, which goes like this: plays
0:25:56.965,0:25:59.322
Let's just try that again.
0:25:59.322,0:28:55.552
Music: Cleopha by Scott Joplin
0:28:56.808,0:29:07.275
Alright, that worked much better, I think,[br]yay. Next: next I was going to play
0:29:07.275,0:29:12.582
something from this, which is the Years of[br]Pilgrimage from Liszt – and I'm not going
0:29:12.582,0:29:18.473
to try and pronounce the french, I think –[br]but basically it's a collection from, I
0:29:18.473,0:29:25.471
think, three years which he spent in – the[br]first year is Switzerland, the second one
0:29:25.471,0:29:31.728
is Italy, and then the third one is –[br]actually I don't know, this one just has
0:29:31.728,0:29:37.010
one piece in it – the first and second[br]year are in Switzerland and Italy, at
0:29:37.010,0:29:46.418
least, and I'm going to play the first one[br]from the second year, page 66, which is
0:29:46.418,0:29:54.121
called the "Sposalizio," which is the[br]engagement of Mary and Joseph, I believe,
0:29:54.121,0:30:00.209
or rather, this is actually named after a[br]painting of that occasion, by Raphael, I
0:30:00.209,0:30:05.572
think – I'm not sure – so that is [br]"Sposalizio" by Liszt.
0:30:09.551,0:30:12.117
Music: Sposalizio by Franz Liszt
0:35:57.677,0:36:09.854
Alright. After that, what did I have[br]planned next? Oh, okay. So I have two more
0:36:09.854,0:36:19.105
things here, which is not quite enough to[br]fill an hour, but let's first do this one,
0:36:19.105,0:36:30.652
sure. So what I had planned for now is[br]another song by Tom Lehrer and this one is –
0:36:30.652,0:36:37.835
he introduces it as a "rousing and uplifting[br]tune that is guaranteed to cheer you up."
0:36:37.835,0:39:14.559
Music: We Will All Go Together When We Go[br]by Tom Lehrer
0:39:17.650,0:39:28.101
Yeah, about like that. Let me drink [br]something. So that song is called "We Will
0:39:28.101,0:39:33.389
All Go Together When We Go," I've updated[br]the lyrics slightly, because when he wrote
0:39:33.389,0:39:39.581
it, it was "three billion hunks of steak,"[br]and within his lifetime – which is kind of
0:39:39.581,0:39:45.266
blowing my mind – it went to nearly eight[br]billion hunks of well-done steak, so yeah,
0:39:45.266,0:39:54.115
the population has grown a lot. And then I[br]have one piece in mind with which I want
0:39:54.115,0:39:59.340
to close the concert, but I think I need a[br]few more minutes for something else first
0:39:59.340,0:40:14.077
so let's just – yes! I have an idea. Why[br]not play this one, which is a lot of fun,
0:40:14.077,0:40:24.688
if I can find it, yes! The Prelude by[br]Sergei Rachmaninoff, I'm not sure if that
0:40:24.688,0:40:30.425
has an Opus number on there or anything –[br]no it doesn't. So maybe you recognise it,
0:40:30.425,0:40:36.607
maybe you don't, I'll try to play it as[br]well as I can. Prelude in – what is this? –
0:40:36.607,0:40:38.745
c# minor, I believe.
0:40:42.608,0:43:43.123
Music: Prelude in c♯ minor[br]by Sergei Rachmaninoff
0:43:44.342,0:43:49.969
Well, maybe I could have practised this[br]one once before, but I hope it was still
0:43:49.969,0:44:03.818
nice enough. What else could I play,[br]either from here or from something else.
0:44:03.818,0:44:11.339
This one is nice – bit long, I don't think[br]we need that much for – the problem is I
0:44:11.339,0:44:15.711
didn't exactly look at my watch when I[br]started this recording, but I think there
0:44:15.711,0:44:21.909
is about fifteen to twenty minutes left,[br]and the thing I want to finish with is
0:44:21.909,0:44:30.184
fifteen minutes, so maybe a short piece –[br]let's just do another Scott Joplin. Let's
0:44:30.184,0:44:39.096
play the Maple Leaf Rag, let's do that[br]one: "Maple Leaf Rag," Scott Joplin.
0:44:40.464,0:46:58.675
Music: Maple Leaf Rag[br]by Scott Joplin
0:46:59.529,0:47:09.299
Tada! Alright, and now, for the grand[br]finale, let's play the Rhapsody in Blue by
0:47:09.299,0:47:15.645
George Gershwin – I almost said Scott[br]Gershwin there, that's not his name. I
0:47:15.645,0:47:23.385
don't know if that's anybody's name, but[br]it's certainly not his. So let's – with
0:47:23.385,0:47:30.497
or without? – No, without. I made this[br]mistake once, where, after an hour-long
0:47:30.497,0:47:36.026
concert, I did this at the end, and then,[br]right at the end of the piece, the stand
0:47:36.026,0:47:43.561
just fell down and it was probably funny[br]in retrospect but not very pleasing at the
0:47:43.561,0:47:48.726
time, so that's just leave it out, because[br]I can play this. Anyways: George Gershwin,
0:47:48.726,0:47:54.783
I think, Gershwin but George – George[br]Gershwin, "Rhapsody in Blue."
0:47:59.613,0:48:06.513
plays[br]Again.
0:48:07.929,1:02:13.539
Music: Rhapsody in Blue[br]by George Gershwin
1:02:16.565,1:02:26.423
Alright. So that was the Rhapsody in Blue[br]by George Gershwin and I hope you enjoyed
1:02:26.423,1:02:38.410
it, and I think I'm going to call it here.[br]I hope you enjoyed this concert, I hope it
1:02:38.410,1:02:44.598
all worked out technically – I'll see[br]about that, and, yeah, enjoy the rest of
1:02:44.598,1:02:50.369
the remote Congress Experience. Bye!
