Everyone in this thread who plays (or has played) the piano realizes she's only average :p

Dr. P, you've missed my point completely!!!! :shocked: (mini edit: all the movements are not that easy to play also, the first movement maybe easy).

Too much moderating makes Dr. P a dull boy? :p


This is how ridiculously easy Fur Elise is, but I agree, that little girl is all memory and has no musical soul. I did the same thing when I was 6.

These guys are hilarious....
Pure comedic gold.

Oh... and check out THIS kid.

Fur Elise? Cake...my sister had put that song away by the third grade...I didn't play it until later but by then it took me about a week to learn.

Apparently I'm still missing the point. I am a very poor piano player, but Fur Elise is a piece of cake to play. And, she seems to play the piece with virtually no emotion on that link. If you watch the entire clip in the OP, it's not just the real simple part that even non-piano players can figure out in 5 minutes or so. Or are you referring to her playing in her underwear?

Oh, and thanks for the other links!! Those guys are awesome!!
