Hello everyone.
-
So we recently came across a video clip of a young prodigy
-
who can apparently compose piano sonata in under...
-
One.
-
Minute.
-
W H O A
-
Let's see if it's true or...
-
FAKE NEWS.
-
So, I'm going to pick 4 notes from this hat.
-
Or you can pick 4 notes.
-
- I'll pick them. - Yes, yes, yes.
-
She has such intense eyes.
-
It's a JOKE!
-
And then, I'm going to improvise a piece based on them.
-
All right.
-
Now, we didn't work out anything...
-
...by arrangement earlier.
-
They really just needed a pink...
-
- Yeah. - Shiny blue...
-
Purple whatever, shiny hat.
-
We didn't work anything out per arrangement,
-
but we did prepare a shiny hat.
-
Yeah.
-
Oh.
-
Interesting.
-
*high-pitched voice* Interesting.
-
*high-pitched voice* Interesting.
-
*both laughs* No we should stop this.
-
Alright, I was just...it was a joke, oh..
-
- It's a joke, guys. - Oh no.
-
The game is to refrain from making sarcastic,
-
almost offensive comments.
-
Yeah.
-
- So I'll just think about it for a few seconds. - Oh, please yes.
-
*narration* For me the most important thing in music
-
is the melodies.
-
It's not if it has to be everything very complex and very serious,
-
but actually, so that people actually want to listen to it
-
and enjoy it.
-
I wonder what, um...
-
Debussy thinks about that.
-
Hmm.
-
You know what I was thinking?
-
There's video cuts and there's no timer.
-
Maybe she sat there for three minutes and not one minute,
-
and they cut it up to one—
-
Three hours.
-
Whoa. *clicks tongue*
-
But.
-
It's on "60 Minutes", so it must be completely accurate.
-
Sometimes when I get the melodies,
-
I hear them just sung or I hear a melody for orchestra.
-
But then actually sitting down and developing the melodies,
-
and that's really the difficult part,
-
having to tell a real story with the music.
-
Wait a second. The first note.
-
- I want to see...I want them to show me the... - B flat?
-
I have a feeling it was a B natural.
-
(Both) It was a B natural!!!!
-
- Turned into a B-flat!!! - Oh!!!
-
- Still fake news. - It's a B natural.
-
It's a B natural.
-
Why would she play a B-flat?
-
She was so prodigy that she changed the note.
-
Interesting.
-
No, this is not a hate video, guys.
-
- Maybe I'm just jealous. That's why. I'm just jealous. - Keep going? Yeah.
-
*laughs*
-
That's pretty...crazy.
-
Is this rondeau form?
-
Or theme and variations?
-
Well that's actually pretty amazing though.
-
- If she composed that in under a minute. - Mmm.
-
Oh!!!
-
Oh my god.
-
- That's—that's talent, man. - Harmonic progression.
-
- Theme and variations! - Second subject, second subject.
-
- It's like structured to, uh, thing as well. - Yeah.
-
- She can see this. - That is the most amazing thing.
-
She's composing with structure.
-
Hm-hmm.
-
- And then back to... - It's no, it's not...
-
It's improvised but it's not improvised.
-
- Yeah, it sounds like a real composition, - it's improvised...yeah.
-
- you know, doesn't sound like improvisation. - Yeah.
-
- She's improvising. - But she didn't improvise, she composed—
-
No do you think she improvised?
-
- I think she composed in her head in the structure. - In?
-
And then put the notes in different variations.
-
Yeah, so she must have done half the composition in her head...
-
- In that one minute. - Yup. Already.
-
Whoa.
-
(Both) Interesting.
-
Ohhh.
-
It is rondeau form. This is C now.
-
Section C.
-
I read her mind.
-
Dude, it's a—fricking—modulated! To E Flat ma... *sigh*
-
Maybe I am the composer.
-
Whoa!
-
B flat ma... *sigh*
-
(Both) Ohhh!
-
Oh!
-
Theme and variations, wonderful. *laughs*
-
Ohhh!
-
Oh.
-
Wow.
-
It's like...developing as well.
-
You would've got an A+ but...
-
It's a B natural not a B flat.
-
But TwoSet, it's not like you can do any better,
-
you're just jealous of the prodigy!
-
Bring it on.
-
Who said we couldn't do it better.
-
We'll show you right now. *clap*
-
*clap* Bring it on, it's time.
-
What's gonna happen is Brett's gonna pick four notes.
-
This hasn't been previously arranged.
-
- He's gonna compose within one minute. - Hm-hmm.
-
He's on the violin and after which I'm gonna do the same,
-
but on the piano.
-
And then we're gonna do, uh,
-
Sonata for Piano and Violin afterwards.
-
Let's get it!
-
Uhh. A. *shriek*
-
C. *low-pitched screech*
-
F. *oooh*
-
*snickering* A sharp. *laughs*
-
Good luck. *wry laughter*
-
- Have we started? - Yeah.
-
Am I supposed to play now?
-
No, you're composing.
-
Oh. *laughs*
-
Two, one.
-
*timer goes off*
-
*plays timer music*
-
Wrong scale.
-
Right scale!
-
I can't.
-
That was pretty cool.
-
I rate it a...
-
I N T E R E S T I N G
-
...out of 10. *laughs*
-
- Alright. - Please draw.
-
- I'm actually gonna try. - Okay.
-
*sigh* *laughs*
-
I N T E R E S T I N G
-
- Oh what the hell... - *laughs* That's so messed up.
-
Alright here we go. One minute begins right...now.
-
Three, two, one.
-
It's the worst G sharp! *laughs*
-
*plays recording by accident*
-
*laughs*
-
- Is that the chord? - Yeah.
-
It's alright I can channel prodigy to you.
-
Ling Ling!
-
Ling Ling!
-
Ling Ling.
-
Ling Ling!
-
I'm sorry Alma.
-
- I'm sorry for— - I'm sorry. You are a true genius.
-
I take back all my "interesting"s.
-
- No, no no, no, no! Let me try again! I refuse... - Okay.
-
But she changed one of the notes.
-
- So you can change one note. - So I'm gonna change one note.
-
- Yeah, you can change the G sharp. *laughs* - Get rid that G sharp!
-
Alright, so we're good?
-
- Yup, G Sharp turns to, uh...what? A? - Up a semitone.
-
Okay, done.
-
*clap*
-
*clap*
-
Second subject!
-
Alright.
-
Ling Ling!
-
UHH!!!
-
Now let's do one, where we combine our forces.
-
Because...
-
The true height of composition is to be able to...
-
Read each other.
-
Compose telepathically.
-
*excited shrieking*
-
Is this all what we aspire to be?!
-
- So one each? - Yeah.
-
Hai-ya!!!
-
B, for Brett!
-
I get...
-
- Ohh, no. - E! For...
-
Aw that's alright, E!
-
- Okay— - EDDY!
-
OHH OHHHHHHH!!!! *laughs*
-
It's meant to be! *laughs*
-
Alright, your turn again. *laughs*
-
Oh not a sharp or a flat. Not a sharp or a flat.
-
Just give me a...urgh!
-
G!!!
-
Ooh, that's pretty good!
-
- E minor. - Damn, I like E minor.
-
Don't screw this up, Eddy, don't screw this up!
-
- Oh no. - Oh. F.
-
Oh no...
-
This is just as bad as a flat.
-
Dude, you, you...
-
F'd it man. *laughs*
-
Let me see. Yeah, started.
-
Are we supposed to be discussing this or just telepathic?
-
Prodigies don't discuss.
-
Three, two, one.
-
Okay, here we go.
-
Uhhh!
-
Interesting!

That was actually pretty good.
