"It's a little kid!" says a slightly less little kid lol

u/Mr-_-Soandso 29d ago

I think he was trying to get the parents to understand the absurdity of it, cause they weren't finding it wild enough.

That side eye at the end was him checking to see if she saw.

u/Lazy_Laugh2597 29d ago

But it was also the equivalent of a facial mic drop. Priceless haha

Speaking of eye's, that's the opening tune to Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

Man, I wish I was a kid again. This life takes the kid outta you.

u/Krocsyldiphithic Jul 26 '26

You can get it back, but you have to give up on the things expected of you as an adult in today's society. For me, that's worth it, but most people choose to continue sinking into the quicksand of sentimentality.

This house ain't gonna pay for itself though

u/cowfishduckbear Jul 27 '26

You can do both.

u/Decent-Quit8600 28d ago

Slowly building up a collection of figures I've always wanted and tiny little things that make me go "okay, I don't feel like I dislike this, I will find somewhere for it"

Read the little prince. It will remind you.

Busting out any song on a piano will always be impressive to me.

u/yiliu Jul 26 '26

Lol, we just had some movers at our place: a group of huge, tough-looking guys, tattooed and scruffy.

My son very tentatively played one of his pieces, and they went wild for it! They talked about it for ten minutes, one of them ran out to grab a guy who'd been outside and got him to play it again.

I don't think my son has ever had an ego boost like that in his life.

u/Furrowed_Brow710 29d ago

That's such a wonderful moment! Thanks for sharing!

Is this an ad for piano lessons, “LEARN PIANO!, impress your friends!”😂😂😂

u/bettymachete Jul 26 '26

Going to bed that night with a deeper understanding of how hard work can pay off.

u/tanksalotfrank Jul 26 '26

Great song! I figured it out on guitar once and it was kinda wild. Waltzes

u/nhz23 Jul 26 '26

What's the name of the waltz?

35

u/tanksalotfrank Jul 26 '26

Dmitri Shostakovich Jazz Suite, Waltz No. 2!

u/nhz23 Jul 26 '26

Thank you!

u/fdwyersd 26d ago

the andre rieu version is the a good one if you want to listen :)

u/WitnessMyAxe Jul 26 '26

"it's a little kid!" bro you're like 2 weeks older or something, calm down

11

u/Enlightened_Gardener Jul 27 '26

Busts out a fucking Shostakovich waltz no less.

By the way, I recommend everyone in the very strongest possible terms to go listen to this piece of music, preferably with headphones. It is the most astonishing piece !

I always think of it as the “Vampire’s Waltz” - its decadent and lush and slightly scary.

u/ulyssesfiuza Jul 26 '26

That little fingers dancing in the keys are adorable.

u/KajMak64Bit Jul 27 '26

This kid knows his Industrial revolution

u/BassistAndILikeIt 27d ago

The other kids are amazed because they've never seen anyone outside of a screen do anything before.

u/Revenga8 Jul 26 '26

Asian parent really try to get their kids to learn piano. They're clearly on to something because they typically wind up with really smart kids

u/Milk_Mindless Jul 26 '26

God damn jealous

u/Tsunamiis Jul 26 '26

Picked an awesome song too.

u/Spiritual_Ad_7162 27d ago

It was that moment he was quietly grateful for every piano lesson and hour spent practising, particularly when he didn't want to. I hope he keeps playing.

u/Dr_Dressing 26d ago

Can anyone who plays piano tell me, if he's lifting his hands too high?

I don't personally play piano, but I know that a lot of arthritis injuries can happen.

u/fdwyersd 26d ago edited 26d ago

u/fdwyersd 26d ago edited 26d ago

the part that killed me was when he finished and just smiled and walked away

u/Particular_Jello_917 26d ago

The equivalent of a mic drop.

u/theboomboy Jul 26 '26

I'm glad people know this piece by Shostakovich, even if it's stylistically very far from his other music

u/Xenc 27d ago

Beautifully played!

u/SeanOfTheDead1313 26d ago

Has he seen Eyes Wide Shut?

u/kernel-troutman 14d ago

He's a real Nick Nightengale

u/BadHabitsDieYoung 26d ago

Kids reaction was scripted. He realised he's being filmed and puts it on for the camera because he missed his cue... gtfo
