Extraordinary Piano Performances

[Pit0010]

I definitely think this is a great performance, with great humour

[MaestroUGC]

Victor Borge is always delightful.

[GaryOak]

This dude is pretty intense.

[Jompa]

We should all lick this guy's feet!

Holy crap!

I find this topic to be too interesting to die just because I'm not here

...and here's some more marasy8 (I was actually working on U.N. Owen was her? myself awhile ago)

That was played really well!

I must say that Jarrod Radnich probably has the highest handsomeness/piano skills ratio in the whole world.

[JDMEK5]

I agree.

I showed that video in the Skype Sibelius Academy chat room and here's all the translated responses

You know that for that to be a large number, is has to be handsomeness >> piano skills? In other words, a very skilled but not very handsome piano player would get a small ratio, whereas a handsome idiot would get a high ratio. The ratio goes towards 1 when handsomeness and piano skills are somewhat balanced, regardless of the level (an ugly idiot would rate the same as a supermodel virtouso).

Math just ruins stuff sometimes, doesn't it?

I was actually expecting some math guy to come and say exactly what you said but I have a solution! In handsomeness scale a big value means handsomener player. But with piano skillz the scale goes other way around; when the value is close to zero it means higher piano skillz. Of course it can never be zero because it would require a perfect player and the existence of such a thing is mathematically impossible.

This is by Martin Leung, video game pianist. This is my favorite of his performances. It's a montage of Final Fantasy songs that he plays on the piano, and it's truly beautiful.
