1 00:00:00,241 --> 00:00:15,401 rC3 Wikipaka Music 2 00:00:15,401 --> 00:00:23,786 Hello! I am Lucas and I will be playing a Piano concert for you, today, tonight, 3 00:00:23,786 --> 00:00:28,920 this morning – I don't know when this is going to be scheduled – about an hour long 4 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,170 I've picked up some things here, planned, if that takes less than an hour then I'll 5 00:00:34,170 --> 00:00:38,912 just improvise and play something else as well, but I thought I could start with the 6 00:00:38,912 --> 00:00:46,754 Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin, so let's start with that, and I hope you'll enjoy. 7 00:00:49,783 --> 00:03:47,115 Music: Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin 8 00:03:48,363 --> 00:03:54,748 Alright, that was, more or less, the Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin. And up next 9 00:03:54,748 --> 00:04:01,656 I wanted to play this one: By Franz Liszt, Polonaise in g minor. I think there's more 10 00:04:01,656 --> 00:04:06,430 than one of those, but I'll look up the ID later on and probably put it in a 11 00:04:06,430 --> 00:04:11,249 description or something for a full tracklist, in case someone wants that. 12 00:04:12,615 --> 00:07:05,299 Music: Polonaise in g minor by Frédéric Chopin 13 00:07:08,029 --> 00:07:14,238 I'm not quite sure if the finish was where I put it, or it should've been one earlier 14 00:07:14,238 --> 00:07:17,451 and I should have just repeated this part plays chord but not plays chord this 15 00:07:17,451 --> 00:07:25,680 part, I'm not sure. I don't have the sheet music here with me, so too bad. What's 16 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:36,369 next? Aha, yes! Next I wanted to play a Song by Tom Lehrer. Let me say that again 17 00:07:36,369 --> 00:07:41,294 without facing away from the microphone: a song by Tom Lehrer, who has very recently 18 00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:45,906 done a wonderful thing and put all of his songs into the Public Domain, which is 19 00:07:45,906 --> 00:07:49,295 great, because otherwise I would not be able to play them here for at least another 20 00:07:49,295 --> 00:07:55,204 seventy years, because the man's still alive – ninety-something, I think – but 21 00:07:55,204 --> 00:08:00,689 since he has done that I am now able to praise this wonderful song and play it 22 00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:05,645 again for you. "The Elements," you've probably heard it, I think, maybe not. 23 00:08:05,645 --> 00:08:07,037 We'll see. 24 00:08:07,037 --> 00:08:10,904 Music 25 00:08:10,904 --> 00:08:22,261 No, wait. I forgot I do not know the words to The Elements by heart. I used to at some 26 00:08:22,261 --> 00:08:32,882 point, but then I forgot. So I need my phone here with me to show me the lyrics. 27 00:08:32,882 --> 00:08:35,160 There we go! 28 00:08:35,160 --> 00:10:00,044 Music: The Elements by Tom Lehrer 29 00:10:00,044 --> 00:10:09,237 Tada! Well, kind of. "The Elements" by Tom Lehrer. And next someone requested that I 30 00:10:09,237 --> 00:10:13,727 play – my phone decided to reload the page for some reason – but requested that I 31 00:10:13,727 --> 00:10:19,459 play "Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja" from Mozart's "The Magic Flute." So I can do 32 00:10:19,459 --> 00:10:27,934 that next. Or some version of it, I guess. I'm not going to sing this one, so let's 33 00:10:27,934 --> 00:10:30,173 turn off the microphone. 34 00:10:33,030 --> 00:11:31,090 Music: Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja by Wolfang Amadeus Mozart 35 00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:40,101 Okay. What was I going to play next? Okay, some Jazz Improvisation, sure. 36 00:11:40,101 --> 00:11:47,744 So the way I can do that is I have this loop pedal down here, the red thing, 37 00:11:47,744 --> 00:11:54,752 which I can use to record myself playing some background chords and rhythm, maybe 38 00:11:54,752 --> 00:12:23,499 something like this: plays music You know what, no, I messed that one up, 39 00:12:23,499 --> 00:12:28,616 but let's just demo the thing, quickly, so I could turn up or down the volume. 40 00:12:28,616 --> 00:12:34,137 Music reduces in volume 41 00:12:34,137 --> 00:12:37,447 And now it's just going to loop forever, and I think I messed up the break, let's 42 00:12:37,447 --> 00:12:45,642 listen. Yeah, no, let's try again. So I tap it twice to erase the recording, and 43 00:12:45,642 --> 00:13:12,820 let's try that again: plays music 44 00:13:12,820 --> 00:13:20,543 Okay, that sounds better. And now I can just play along whatever I want: plays 45 00:13:20,543 --> 00:16:22,536 Music: Jazz Improvisation by Lucas Werkmeister 46 00:16:22,536 --> 00:16:25,684 Kind of like that. The ending is always tricky, because I have to suddenly stop 47 00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:36,947 the loop and then it should still sound kind of decent. Well. So far I'm starting 48 00:16:36,947 --> 00:16:41,505 to realise that I arranged this pretty poorly, because I put a lot of short 49 00:16:41,505 --> 00:16:49,057 things at the front. But, well, let's do some longer things then, now, and see if 50 00:16:49,057 --> 00:16:53,662 that still fills an hour. So the next thing I thought I wanted to play or I could play 51 00:16:53,662 --> 00:17:00,241 was this Fantasy in c minor by Mozart, and I think there's only one of those, so that 52 00:17:00,241 --> 00:17:06,532 is unambiguous – I might be wrong – I can put this K number somewhere later. 53 00:17:06,532 --> 00:17:09,703 I don't know why I did this, because I do not have sheet music for this one either. 54 00:17:09,703 --> 00:17:15,518 so let's put that right away again. "Fantasy in c minor," by Mozart. 55 00:17:18,742 --> 00:25:10,402 Music: Fantasia in c minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 56 00:25:11,643 --> 00:25:17,575 Well, mostly, that was there. Made a few mistakes, sorry. What do I want to play 57 00:25:17,575 --> 00:25:29,781 next? Some more Scott Joplin was what I wanted to play next. No, actually, 58 00:25:29,781 --> 00:25:36,719 nevermind. It'll just turn itself around on the page anyways and I think I can play 59 00:25:36,719 --> 00:25:41,524 this one by heart as well, so let's just do that. I should say what I'm going to 60 00:25:41,524 --> 00:25:56,965 play. I'm going to play "Cleopha" by Scott Joplin, which goes like this: plays 61 00:25:56,965 --> 00:25:59,322 Let's just try that again. 62 00:25:59,322 --> 00:28:55,552 Music: Cleopha by Scott Joplin 63 00:28:56,808 --> 00:29:07,275 Alright, that worked much better, I think, yay. Next: next I was going to play 64 00:29:07,275 --> 00:29:12,582 something from this, which is the Years of Pilgrimage from Liszt – and I'm not going 65 00:29:12,582 --> 00:29:18,473 to try and pronounce the french, I think – but basically it's a collection from, I 66 00:29:18,473 --> 00:29:25,471 think, three years which he spent in – the first year is Switzerland, the second one 67 00:29:25,471 --> 00:29:31,728 is Italy, and then the third one is – actually I don't know, this one just has 68 00:29:31,728 --> 00:29:37,010 one piece in it – the first and second year are in Switzerland and Italy, at 69 00:29:37,010 --> 00:29:46,418 least, and I'm going to play the first one from the second year, page 66, which is 70 00:29:46,418 --> 00:29:54,121 called the "Sposalizio," which is the engagement of Mary and Joseph, I believe, 71 00:29:54,121 --> 00:30:00,209 or rather, this is actually named after a painting of that occasion, by Raphael, I 72 00:30:00,209 --> 00:30:05,572 think – I'm not sure – so that is "Sposalizio" by Liszt. 73 00:30:09,551 --> 00:30:12,117 Music: Sposalizio by Franz Liszt 74 00:35:57,677 --> 00:36:09,854 Alright. After that, what did I have planned next? Oh, okay. So I have two more 75 00:36:09,854 --> 00:36:19,105 things here, which is not quite enough to fill an hour, but let's first do this one, 76 00:36:19,105 --> 00:36:30,652 sure. So what I had planned for now is another song by Tom Lehrer and this one is – 77 00:36:30,652 --> 00:36:37,835 he introduces it as a "rousing and uplifting tune that is guaranteed to cheer you up." 78 00:36:37,835 --> 00:39:14,559 Music: We Will All Go Together When We Go by Tom Lehrer 79 00:39:17,650 --> 00:39:28,101 Yeah, about like that. Let me drink something. So that song is called "We Will 80 00:39:28,101 --> 00:39:33,389 All Go Together When We Go," I've updated the lyrics slightly, because when he wrote 81 00:39:33,389 --> 00:39:39,581 it, it was "three billion hunks of steak," and within his lifetime – which is kind of 82 00:39:39,581 --> 00:39:45,266 blowing my mind – it went to nearly eight billion hunks of well-done steak, so yeah, 83 00:39:45,266 --> 00:39:54,115 the population has grown a lot. And then I have one piece in mind with which I want 84 00:39:54,115 --> 00:39:59,340 to close the concert, but I think I need a few more minutes for something else first 85 00:39:59,340 --> 00:40:14,077 so let's just – yes! I have an idea. Why not play this one, which is a lot of fun, 86 00:40:14,077 --> 00:40:24,688 if I can find it, yes! The Prelude by Sergei Rachmaninoff, I'm not sure if that 87 00:40:24,688 --> 00:40:30,425 has an Opus number on there or anything – no it doesn't. So maybe you recognise it, 88 00:40:30,425 --> 00:40:36,607 maybe you don't, I'll try to play it as well as I can. Prelude in – what is this? – 89 00:40:36,607 --> 00:40:38,745 c# minor, I believe. 90 00:40:42,608 --> 00:43:43,123 Music: Prelude in c♯ minor by Sergei Rachmaninoff 91 00:43:44,342 --> 00:43:49,969 Well, maybe I could have practised this one once before, but I hope it was still 92 00:43:49,969 --> 00:44:03,818 nice enough. What else could I play, either from here or from something else. 93 00:44:03,818 --> 00:44:11,339 This one is nice – bit long, I don't think we need that much for – the problem is I 94 00:44:11,339 --> 00:44:15,711 didn't exactly look at my watch when I started this recording, but I think there 95 00:44:15,711 --> 00:44:21,909 is about fifteen to twenty minutes left, and the thing I want to finish with is 96 00:44:21,909 --> 00:44:30,184 fifteen minutes, so maybe a short piece – let's just do another Scott Joplin. Let's 97 00:44:30,184 --> 00:44:39,096 play the Maple Leaf Rag, let's do that one: "Maple Leaf Rag," Scott Joplin. 98 00:44:40,464 --> 00:46:58,675 Music: Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin 99 00:46:59,529 --> 00:47:09,299 Tada! Alright, and now, for the grand finale, let's play the Rhapsody in Blue by 100 00:47:09,299 --> 00:47:15,645 George Gershwin – I almost said Scott Gershwin there, that's not his name. I 101 00:47:15,645 --> 00:47:23,385 don't know if that's anybody's name, but it's certainly not his. So let's – with 102 00:47:23,385 --> 00:47:30,497 or without? – No, without. I made this mistake once, where, after an hour-long 103 00:47:30,497 --> 00:47:36,026 concert, I did this at the end, and then, right at the end of the piece, the stand 104 00:47:36,026 --> 00:47:43,561 just fell down and it was probably funny in retrospect but not very pleasing at the 105 00:47:43,561 --> 00:47:48,726 time, so that's just leave it out, because I can play this. Anyways: George Gershwin, 106 00:47:48,726 --> 00:47:54,783 I think, Gershwin but George – George Gershwin, "Rhapsody in Blue." 107 00:47:59,613 --> 00:48:06,513 plays Again. 108 00:48:07,929 --> 01:02:13,539 Music: Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin 109 01:02:16,565 --> 01:02:26,423 Alright. So that was the Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin and I hope you enjoyed 110 01:02:26,423 --> 01:02:38,410 it, and I think I'm going to call it here. I hope you enjoyed this concert, I hope it 111 01:02:38,410 --> 01:02:44,598 all worked out technically ­– I'll see about that, and, yeah, enjoy the rest of 112 01:02:44,598 --> 01:02:50,369 the remote Congress Experience.
