00:00:15.401 --> 00:00:23.786
Hello! I am Lucas and I will be playing a 
Piano concert for you, today, tonight,

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

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

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:38.912
just improvise and play something else as
well, but I thought I could start with the

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.

00:00:49.783 --> 00:03:47.115
<i>Music: Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin</i>

00:03:48.363 --> 00:03:54.748
Alright, that was, more or less, the 
Gladiolus Rag by Scott Joplin. And up next

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

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

00:04:06.430 --> 00:04:11.249
description or something for a full 
tracklist, in case someone wants that.

00:04:12.615 --> 00:07:05.299
<i>Music: Polonaise in g minor 
by Frédéric Chopin</i>

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

00:07:14.238 --> 00:07:17.451
and I should have just repeated this part 
<i>plays chord</i> but not <i>plays chord</i> this

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

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

00:07:36.369 --> 00:07:41.294
without facing away from the microphone: a
song by Tom Lehrer, who has very recently

00:07:41.294 --> 00:07:45.906
done a wonderful thing and put all of his
songs into the Public Domain, which is

00:07:45.906 --> 00:07:49.295
great, because otherwise I would not be
able to play them here for at least another

00:07:49.295 --> 00:07:55.204
seventy years, because the man's still 
alive – ninety-something, I think – but

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

00:08:00.689 --> 00:08:05.645
again for you. "The Elements," you've
probably heard it, I think, maybe not.

00:08:05.645 --> 00:08:07.037
We'll see.

00:08:07.037 --> 00:08:10.904
<i>Music</i>

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

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.

00:08:32.882 --> 00:08:35.160
There we go!

00:08:35.160 --> 00:10:00.044
<i>Music: The Elements by Tom Lehrer</i>

00:10:00.044 --> 00:10:09.237
Tada! Well, kind of. "The Elements" by Tom
Lehrer. And next someone requested that I

00:10:09.237 --> 00:10:13.727
play – my phone decided to reload the page
for some reason – but requested that I

00:10:13.727 --> 00:10:19.459
play "Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja" from
Mozart's "The Magic Flute." So I can do

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

00:10:27.934 --> 00:10:30.173
turn off the microphone.

NOTE Paragraph

00:10:33.030 --> 00:11:31.090
<i>Music: Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja
by Wolfang Amadeus Mozart</i>

00:11:31.090 --> 00:11:40.101
Okay. What was I going to play next?
Okay, some Jazz Improvisation, sure.

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,

00:11:47.744 --> 00:11:54.752
which I can use to record myself playing
some background chords and rhythm, maybe

NOTE Paragraph

00:11:54.752 --> 00:12:23.499
something like this: <i>plays music</i>
You know what, no, I messed that one up,

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.

00:12:28.616 --> 00:12:34.137
<i>Music reduces in volume</i>

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

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

00:12:45.642 --> 00:13:12.820
let's try that again: <i>plays music</i>

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:20.543
Okay, that sounds better. And now I can
just play along whatever I want: <i>plays</i>

00:13:20.543 --> 00:16:22.536
<i>Music: Jazz Improvisation
by Lucas Werkmeister</i>

00:16:22.536 --> 00:16:25.684
Kind of like that. The ending is always
tricky, because I have to suddenly stop

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

00:16:36.947 --> 00:16:41.505
to realise that I arranged this pretty
poorly, because I put a lot of short

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

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

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

00:17:00.241 --> 00:17:06.532
is unambiguous – I might be wrong – I can
put this K number somewhere later.

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.

00:17:09.703 --> 00:17:15.518
so let's put that right away again. 
"Fantasy in c minor," by Mozart.

00:17:18.742 --> 00:25:10.402
<i>Music: Fantasia in c minor
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart</i>

00:25:11.643 --> 00:25:17.575
Well, mostly, that was there. Made a few
mistakes, sorry. What do I want to play

00:25:17.575 --> 00:25:29.781
next? Some more Scott Joplin was what I
wanted to play next. No, actually,

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

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

00:25:41.524 --> 00:25:56.965
play. I'm going to play "Cleopha" by Scott
Joplin, which goes like this: <i>plays</i>

00:25:56.965 --> 00:25:59.322
Let's just try that again.

00:25:59.322 --> 00:28:55.552
<i>Music: Cleopha by Scott Joplin</i>

00:28:56.808 --> 00:29:07.275
Alright, that worked much better, I think,
yay. Next: next I was going to play

00:29:07.275 --> 00:29:12.582
something from this, which is the Years of
Pilgrimage from Liszt – and I'm not going

00:29:12.582 --> 00:29:18.473
to try and pronounce the french, I think –
but basically it's a collection from, I

00:29:18.473 --> 00:29:25.471
think, three years which he spent in – the
first year is Switzerland, the second one

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

00:29:31.728 --> 00:29:37.010
one piece in it – the first and second
year are in Switzerland and Italy, at

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

00:29:46.418 --> 00:29:54.121
called the "Sposalizio," which is the
engagement of Mary and Joseph, I believe,

00:29:54.121 --> 00:30:00.209
or rather, this is actually named after a
painting of that occasion, by Raphael, I

00:30:00.209 --> 00:30:05.572
think – I'm not sure – so that is 
"Sposalizio" by Liszt.

00:30:09.551 --> 00:30:12.117
<i>Music: Sposalizio by Franz Liszt</i>

00:35:57.677 --> 00:36:09.854
Alright. After that, what did I have
planned next? Oh, okay. So I have two more

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,

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 –

00:36:30.652 --> 00:36:37.835
he introduces it as a "rousing and uplifting
tune that is guaranteed to cheer you up."

00:36:37.835 --> 00:39:14.559
<i>Music: We Will All Go Together When We Go
by Tom Lehrer</i>

00:39:17.650 --> 00:39:28.101
Yeah, about like that. Let me drink 
something. So that song is called "We Will

00:39:28.101 --> 00:39:33.389
All Go Together When We Go," I've updated
the lyrics slightly, because when he wrote

00:39:33.389 --> 00:39:39.581
it, it was "three billion hunks of steak,"
and within his lifetime – which is kind of

00:39:39.581 --> 00:39:45.266
blowing my mind – it went to nearly eight
billion hunks of well-done steak, so yeah,

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

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

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,

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

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,

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? –

00:40:36.607 --> 00:40:38.745
c# minor, I believe.

00:40:42.608 --> 00:43:43.123
<i>Music: Prelude in c♯ minor
by Sergei Rachmaninoff</i>

00:43:44.342 --> 00:43:49.969
Well, maybe I could have practised this
one once before, but I hope it was still

00:43:49.969 --> 00:44:03.818
nice enough. What else could I play,
either from here or from something else.

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

00:44:11.339 --> 00:44:15.711
didn't exactly look at my watch when I
started this recording, but I think there

00:44:15.711 --> 00:44:21.909
is about fifteen to twenty minutes left,
and the thing I want to finish with is

00:44:21.909 --> 00:44:30.184
fifteen minutes, so maybe a short piece –
let's just do another Scott Joplin. Let's

00:44:30.184 --> 00:44:39.096
play the Maple Leaf Rag, let's do that
one: "Maple Leaf Rag," Scott Joplin.

00:44:40.464 --> 00:46:58.675
<i>Music: Maple Leaf Rag
by Scott Joplin</i>

00:46:59.529 --> 00:47:09.299
Tada! Alright, and now, for the grand
finale, let's play the Rhapsody in Blue by

00:47:09.299 --> 00:47:15.645
George Gershwin – I almost said Scott
Gershwin there, that's not his name. I

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

00:47:23.385 --> 00:47:30.497
or without? – No, without. I made this
mistake once, where, after an hour-long

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

00:47:36.026 --> 00:47:43.561
just fell down and it was probably funny
in retrospect but not very pleasing at the

00:47:43.561 --> 00:47:48.726
time, so that's just leave it out, because
I can play this. Anyways: George Gershwin,

00:47:48.726 --> 00:47:54.783
I think, Gershwin but George – George
Gershwin, "Rhapsody in Blue."

00:47:59.613 --> 00:48:06.513
<i>plays</i>
Again.

00:48:07.929 --> 01:02:13.539
<i>Music: Rhapsody in Blue
by George Gershwin</i>

01:02:16.565 --> 01:02:26.423
Alright. So that was the Rhapsody in Blue
by George Gershwin and I hope you enjoyed

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

01:02:38.410 --> 01:02:44.598
all worked out technically ­– I'll see
about that, and, yeah, enjoy the rest of

01:02:44.598 --> 01:02:50.369
the remote Congress Experience. Bye!
