On the day of the ”Barbie” film premiere and almost exactly one year after my Barbie Girl Fugue ( • "I'm a Barbie girl" but it's a three ... ), nothing less could be expected than a follow-up!
In the same educational spirit as in the previous videos, this video serves as a parodic and slightly critical take on one of the most well-known tunes from the 2000s —even incorporating its somewhat questionable lyrics.
The six variations featured in the video illustrate the style of some of my favorite composers. The primary inspiration for this project came from Dudley Moore's timeless parody of a Beethoven piano sonata ( • Dudley Moore Beethoven Sonata Parody ). Additionally, the visual design of the video draws some influence from a respected colleague, Nahre Sol, whose creative work I have admired since my teenage years. I highly recommend visiting her channel (youtube.com/@NahreSol) for great visualisations of classical music.

Everything about this is unreasonably good. Absolutely exceptional quality of composition and production! I’m blown away!

Mozart is a happy little kid
Beethoven is a funky goth auntie
Schumann is a melanholic father
Schubert is a relatively normal grandfather who enjoys walks in nature
Chopin is a dramatic rebel teenager with many intrusive thoughts
Ravel is a painter mother
(Great video, immensely enjoyed, thank you 😊)

Great, I wished there was a part 2 with Liszt, Satie, Rachmaninoff, Händel and of course Bach! 🎵🎶

The level of:
1) ASSIMILATED musical culture
2) creativity
3) pianistic mastery
required to produce such a masterpiece is OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD!!!
And I also looove the added analytic comments into the video!

What’s amazing is that he is actually a cellist in his orchestra so imagine how good he is at that !!!

A full semester course in composition delivered with grace, humor, and clarity in 6 minutes! If I were still teaching theory/comp, I would begin each semester with this video!

The talent here is incredible. It's hard to imagine how someone can extemporaneously produce such elaborate stylistic changes from a single theme like "I'm a Barbie Girl". In my opinion, pure genius.

This was an EDUCATION! I learned more music theory in 5 mins than I did in 3 years of private piano lessons as a kid. Outstanding video. You are a great teacher.

Impressive understanding of what gave those composers their special character! Fun fact: what this musician is doing is precisely what many of the great composers did in their time: take a simple "folk" or "popular" melody if the time and use as a theme or motif to expand and vary upon... Only this time the popular melody "I am a barbie girl".

Josep: Fantastic. I'm a concert pianist myself and this was perfectly executed and composed on the Barbie theme. Also great lecture into the styles of the composers picked. Very entertaining.

The running snarky commentary is such a great touch: it entertains while simultaneously explaining the nuances that us laypeople can vaguely perceive, but don’t actually understand. Lovely video.

You literally did everything correct for the perfect video right now. You found a current trend, applied lots of but not overwhelmingly much theory in it and made it sound enjoyable as well as relatable for anyone who is at least a little into classical music. You also chose 6 composers everyone has heard of and listened to and especially the twist at the end rounded the video off perfectly. 10/10

One of those rare videos that deserves all the attention it got/is getting

this guys just nails the styles so well. The Beethoven commentary was so good

As a fellow pianist here your annotations literally made me CACKLE 😂😂😂😂🤣 I was so entranced by the actual compositions at first that I didn’t notice. Then had to go back to rewatch to experience the humor 🤣 thank you for such a great laugh!! I’m so happy to have found your channel

Thanks for this excellent video. I hardly ever use superlatives as very few things in life are actually ever amazing or brilliant. But this is both. This is a masterpiece at every level! So clever - so well composed and performed. Love it.
