8 years later and the ragtime part at 1:17 STILL puts a smile on my face

[Randimzo]

When the producers accidentally release 95% of the budget to the art director.

ALRIGHT I love this. I played so much Tetris as a kid I rolled the score over. What a cool piano!

Amazing transcription. I love that chromaticism that sound like Volodos' transcription style. Also, Sonya's fingering technique is undoubtedly solid.

[jodiejensen]

My daughter just sent this to me.  I am a piano teacher and if I share your video with my students, I will become the most RAD piano teacher on planet earth.  You were amazing!

1:40-1:48 HOLY SHIT WHAT TYPE OF AWESOMENESS JUST HAPPENED?

[StayMetal]

2:04 Arpeggios like that always give me thrills ^^ ! Awesome arrangement

[supermegazeldaland]

oh my gosh ok, it's not about the piano which is awesome as hell - it's not about the music that is awesome as hell - about how much passion she has when she's playing the keys I can feel it and it's amazing! This is something that she would do even if she had no arms or anything to play with this is what she was born to do and she loves every minute of it and that's absolutely amazing and that's what keeps this original awesome stuff alive! This is why you still see people doing things the old fashion way even if he could be done by computers or whatever, absolutely amazing!

Alternative title: "The tetris theme, if Liszt wrote it"

[GeekandSundry]

What geeky song should they cover in an upcoming video?

[cannedolives]

that is the most beautiful piano I have ever seen

[musicguru]

I will NEVER grow tired of hearing this song.

[JDGamingPR]

She just took a simple song and made it so complex. The most beautiful part of all of this is that she makes it look so easy. Wow!! You, madame, have an amazing talent. It fills me with joy that you are taking advantage of it completely and share the fruits of this talent with the world. Bravo!!!!

[MichealChan]

Why am I obsessed with this song so much!!!

[prn_Melatonin]

See, this is why i fucking regretted quitting piano lessons when i was 5.

[ecetiger]

I could listen to this all day. Such a beautiful arrangement. I don't think the casual listener realizes how many different styles of music Sonya fit in to this one otherwise repetitive melody.

[xlanaxminodax]

Music: Tetris
Piano: pinball
Logic: what's logic?

[piratebay]

I can't describe how much I like that...

[adarkerstormishere]

You are a phenomenally talented pianist, Sonya. That was beautiful.
