Can we fast forward to the part where she jumps on a trampoline with nothing but a trenchcoat and a walkman?

At first I thought, "What the hell is Gweneth Paltrow selling now?". Then it got freakishly impressive.

But how good of a sandwich can she make?

I bet she gives the best hand jobs... but with fingers like that, she's either single or a lesbian.

He's quoting Amadeus, I believe. I was in the play a long time ago, but I've never seen the movie.

The Emperor to Mozart, IIRC.

Lame.

 
Tillmaster 2008-04-23 06:18:34 PM  
Fake. It's an overclocked player piano. Around 43 seconds in, you can see the keys depress before her fingers hit them.

Didn't get the reference, eh TSE?

/actually, I think it's genuine, with a slight soundtrack delay.
//any videos of her playing Debussy? I don't much care for Rachmaninov. La fille aux cheveux de lin would seem to be appropriate

I guess I didn't... double dumbass on me.

I feel the need to post, just to totally honor this clip..holy jeebus. Piano playing with decades of experience is one thing, but those hands belong to a martial art of its own. Never seen such coordination.

 
Atharun 2008-04-23 06:34:23 PM  
I've played that before, it's easier than it looks, still took years of practice and hard work. So credit to her, few pianists can accomplish what she has.

 
George_Spelvin 2008-04-23 06:35:48 PM  
Looking like Amber Benson isn't a good thing. She always looked like she was recently asphyxiated (and in a non-erotic manner).

 
barneyfifesbullet 2008-04-23 06:38:55 PM  
Yeah, but can she play any Styx or Kansas?

 
jasuus1977 2008-04-23 06:56:49 PM

Sir Vanderhoot 2008-04-23 08:09:01 PM  
Sure, but how about an instrument that requires incredible stillness to play?

Bonus: She's adorable. I dare you to listen to her giggle and not smile.

/was very impressed by the absurdity of speed and accuracy of the pianist

Hand transplant with Ann Coultier?

So you're saying you'd last twice as long?

 
chopit 2008-04-23 10:38:58 PM  
Is anyone else frightened by the face suckers from halflife attached to the end of her arms? That was scary. The music it was making only made it worse -- dramatic, powerful, and dark. fark.

So what if you lose a whole 5-10% of your average total time? It'd still be pretty wild.

 
pianodave 2008-04-23 11:09:13 PM  
Not a troll, but I want to chime in with:

Her hands are fast, and her accuracy is great, but that piece isn't very musical. It sounds like one long pianistic diarrhea,seriously. I am not taking away from her talent, but the piece sounds like the musical equivalent of the "screaming shiats."

 
sip111 2008-04-23 11:38:31 PM  
Not to brag or anything, but I am so much faster...

Kinda looks like Amber Benson.

Bill Cosby kinda look like Daniel Craig: they're both male.

 
JohnnyDreamboat 2008-04-24 01:47:19 AM  
So, what you're sayin' is that she's the Yngwie Malmsteen of the piano?
/Impressed.

 
Bastinado 2008-04-24 02:19:56 AM  
Ugh, what an awful piece of "music"

 
SynthLord 2008-04-24 02:27:20 AM  
This (new window) is a more impressive piece - Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto, the last half of the 3rd movement.

Most players I've herad take this a little too slow; Miss Lisitsa takes it at a tempo that would have made Sergei proud ...

 
SynthLord 2008-04-24 02:30:15 AM  
Bastinado: Ugh, what an awful piece of "music"

You're trying my "music appreciation isn't a contest" patience ...

I'm no musical expert, but I know this: She can do that, and I can't. So, she gets respect. Also, much love for the Mrs. Teevee ref.

 
trozman 2008-04-24 04:50:37 AM  
To be fair, the motion of her hands is only somewhat fast, whereas her fingers move at lightning speed. So that other guy still wins, for the hands. I mean that's the whole point isn't it... quite hard to control 11 buttons with 2 hands, just like it's quite hard to control 88 piano keys with 10 fingers.

 
TheSand 2008-04-24 05:44:33 AM  
Why is it that women with even moderate piano skills turn me on so??
