YOU ARE AWESOME!
You combine things that rarly go together:
1) Unbelievable analytic skills
2) Mind-blowing virtuosity
3) A library full of theoretical knowledge
AND
4) the gift to transport it to us, the interested, but unable...
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You're the only one on YouTube that plays "in the style of" pieces truly in the style and not as plugging the melody into a well known work by the composer

I just love your content. Great work again! Esp love the visual illustrations

[MusicalBasics]

unbelievable. wow. these "how to sound like" videos are just amazing. And your ability to tie in all the principles at the end to form an awesome version of Happy Birthday.. wow... no words can be said for how awesome you are!!!!

I thought my latest composition (Mélodie) sounded like Schumann. However, your analysis picked up on qualities within his music that I'd not considered. Honestly, your content is exceptional even on a crowded platform like YouTube!

Another work of genius by Nahre. These videos are absolute gems.

Watching each new "How to Sound Like" video is like witnessing the diverse beauty of the color spectrum in rainbows. Each artist is extremely distinctive and unique and like all the wonderful colors in nature, there are tons of different colors in sound as well and one can witness them only by wanting to perceive and understand more closely by showing more open-mindedness. Thank you for your immense effort to show all these wonderful colors Nahre, thanks to you all of us started appreciating the diversity more than ever. I truly love this signature series, it's my favorite on the entire YouTube universe! My encounter with this inspiring video is one of the truly definitive moments for which I consider myself very lucky that I live in this information/technology age/era in which the Internet culture shapes our lives significantly and through it, we can have unlimited access to mind-expanding, transcending contents like this magnificent (as always!) work! We can't thank you enough but thank you so much :) 🎉👏😊

I happen to really like Schumann, you've made me like him even more. Nahre, this is *brilliant* . Your ideas, your technique, your feel. The nuances, the way the piano seems to be an extension of your musical intention, the way your playing just flows whilst giving contrast and depth. It's so alive, so musical, so good.

My parents did not encourage me to learn an instrument. Watching your hands move so quickly, so precise, instills a sense of deep admiration, but also (unfortunately) jealousy.
But apart from that, I love your videos so much. I love you systematic approach to “the sound “ of these guys (only guys so far?)

Before watching: Never liked a video so fast
Watching: The visual animations are amazing. Even a stone like me could understand it.
After watching: Liked again

I love this kind of content analysing different composers

[nicechordwiwi]

The most amazing thing about this video is that Nahre edited it on a (probably dual-core) 13-inch MacBook...

I've never heard anyone think about and discuss classical music so deeply, yet describe it so accessibly. You're doing such valuable work with these videos!

[Boogers]

This is perhaps the coolest series on YouTube. Every time you make a new one I get so excited.

[theMad_Artist]

Schumann is so underrated, this illustrates why he is so brilliant

[noonesbiznass]

Your grasp of music as a language and as a form of math (and art) is simply amazing to watch. Really impressive and a great example of the power of the human mind.

[arber]

Lol the text at the end demonstration makes it way better

[MuffinMachine]

“Maybe there is hope...maybe there is none...” was captured wonderfully in your playing.

I didn’t expect to get tearful over this but it appears I did. What a wonderful performance in all aspects.

These are some of my favorite piano videos on youtube!
