@@amongusaurellia6264 I don't know how. Peoples in the internet can't change in an instant. You can't stop them. But I rarely make joke about asian parents.
@@amongusaurellia6264 Because alot of asian parents like mine and most of my friends and others, tend to have strict parents that wants their kids to achieve a greater peek at certain things by pushing them to the extreme. Leading most kids nowadays to make a meme out of it, which i found it totally hilarious and relatable.
It's a Disklavier, it can record the performance as it's played to MIDI and/or audio file, so he will have got a copy of his performance and mixed it in with the camera audio. Clever idea!
The pianist himself is amazing, but how about a round of applause for the Yamaha rep following along on the music to know when the page needed to be turned.
I remember some years ago I was on the DC Metro and some guy was playing violin at the station, and it sounded amazing. My only regret was I was running late to meet someone and didn’t stick around for more than maybe 2 minutes, because I found out later he was Josh Bell, one of the most famous violinists in the world. Sometimes we really should stop and listen to the music in our lives.
No matter if that was Josh Bell or some random stranger, if they were playing extraordinarily amazing, I would stop and stay until they finish their piece!!
I AM SO JEALOUS. a writer for the Washington Post wrote an absolutely magnificent piece called Pearls Before Breakfast about Bell doing that that won the Pullitzer-- it's actually what introduced me to not only him, but the Chaconne, which is probably my absolute favorite piece of music that has ever been created. so i'm just grateful for even having read the piece-- i can't even imagine having gotten to see it in person, if only for one fleeting moment.
You have a life and a schedule to keep. People drive by car accidents all the time because stopping might mean they’ll be late for work. So, walking by a piano player is a very easy thing to do. Really, no effort at all
I embrace my desire to Feel the rhythm, to feel connected Enough to step aside and weep like a widow To feel inspired To fathom the power To witness the beauty
This made me cry, not only because obviously the music was beautiful, but everything about this video is just so human. I wish we appreciated each other more.
If I walk into my Costco, no matter how much of a hurry I'm in, and someone is playing like this, I'll stop and appreciate the skill, talent and humanity of this scene.
Me too and I would definitely feel inclined to use my ballet skills as well. It's really sad that so many have no appreciation for the arts and positive and enlightening culture.
@@bmth607 That's your choice to not stop and enjoy something that is rare and beautiful but as for me, I will always have the courtesy to appreciate another person's gift. My life is so much better for it! How many people actually have the time to get to the theatre now day's? When we're on our deathbed I highly doubt anyone will say to themselves "I'm so glad that I completed my checklist" no way, you will only have memories and loved ones to comfort you ❤ I know this to be a fact because I worked in hospice. Stop and smell the roses sometimes, it's the small things that are the most fragrant and beautiful 😍
@@bmth607 You seem to be the only one triggered about time, and more than likely it's the stress of motherhood. Hopefully you find a balance and get to experience being in the moment and enjoying some quality time. No high horse here KP, just at a different season in life than you are.😉
imagine a random kid watching him being like "I wanna be just like him when I grow up!" and they turn into a very good pianist, when someone asks who was their inspiration they respond: "Oh, some guy I saw on Costco. He was awesome."
It’s always fun to watch these kinds of public recordings 😄 Partially because a good musician always adds a bright touch to a weary day, but also because of how the bystanders react. There’s always the people who go about their days and just enjoy the background music, and then there’s those who stop in the middle of the lane to appreciate the music and talent with their full attention 😊
That wee man was enthralled, Bravo to his Mum for keeping them both there and I tip my hat to you for providing such greatness. Who walks past that without stopping, really?
Oh please. While his technique is quite good with strong fingering he is slapping the keys with little care or grace. Basically he's playing like one would play Honky Tonk style. Its loud and brash. I have yet to hear a single piano played in public very well. And there are many superb performers on CZcams. They just never seem to play in public settings it seems.
I truly admire people who can play a musical instrument. I can't play because I have a tin ear and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. But, I do recognize skill when I see and hear it. This kid is great.
That mention in the video is smart. It'll bring and keep the TwoSet crowd, increasing subscribers by word of mouth. And that's a good thing! The more musicians we can support, the better!🌻🌻
“Hm, this piano looks interesting” **sits down and has an entire concert for 2 hours inside the Costco while gathering onlookers listen in absolute astonishment** “Hm... yeah not a fan of the color, let’s keep looking”
I wish one of the many Costco’s I have visited had a display like this so I could have tried these pianos. I suspect this was a special sale event but the space that was dedicated to these baby grands was amazing. On very rare occasions I have seen a minimal spinet size model tucked away amongst the furniture displays but no bench on which to try even that let alone talk to a salesperson about it. This pianist was very lucky to find such a wonderful setup. Nicely played!
I go to Costco a few times a week. If I ever heard anyone playing piano I would certainly stop and listen, yet probably 95% of the people just pushed their carts to do their shopping - amazing. Wonderful talent - thank you!
You really should try and do more or the in public ones! It’s funny to see other people’s reactions, (maybe after the virus tho). Also you are really amazing and I wish I was as good as that.
It was fascinating that the adults walked by until that one kid stopped dead. The adults assumed someone playing at Cosco couldn’t be “that good” so they kept it moving mentally. The kid heard what he heard and he heard the truth. That dead stop took me out. And then it gave others pause. What a beautiful thing to exist. Thank you.
If he played in a dedicated room or in a concert... People would have listened. But because this is not the right place to tell you it's the good shit, people don't know. Also people have schedules so...
Can’t believe people are just walking right by Without stopping, or getting off their phones, or even taking a moment to take in this miracle. Wow this is awesome👏👏👏👏👏Bravo!!!
Aside from some of the funny remarks, I have to say the gentleman’s level of play on the piano is truly amazing and rather very skillful. That should not be overlooked here.

Hats off to purple sweatshirt Mom, making her child pay attention to something extraordinary while almost everyone else just strolls on by. Well done Mom. Well done.
I wish I had kept taking piano lessons after my piano burned to the ground... after burning through the floor... with the house... and about 120,000 hectares of land. I've never heard another piano sound quite like our old Knauss-Coblenz. There's something magical about pianos... like I said, mine vanished into thin air.
Here I am at 30 years old; the first time I’ve been moved to tears by instrumental music… and it’s a youtube video of an unofficial Costco concert. Simply beautiful.
It doesnt happen often for me, interestingly I find the low quality but meaningful 'stobe the hobo' piano score to his own freight train youtube series quite moving.
i like to see strangers putting smile on other strangers' faces especially on a time like this. As adults we forget to be kind to one another, we become more cautious which is natural but no matter what be kind to everyone around you and you will see reality in a different light. We rise by lifting others up.

What if you go there every day to test and play piano without buying one XD
Honestly that piano has a seriously impressive sound, like you are playing in an open warehouse and the sound carries amazingly
Japanese engineering for ya
Its a special piano nane is in the beginning of tbe vid
Well he has a mic either on him or on the piano so that’s why it sounds that good
It's a Disklavier, it can record the performance as it's played to MIDI and/or audio file, so he will have got a copy of his performance and mixed it in with the camera audio. Clever idea!
Yamaha has really amazing piano sound. Second only maybe to Steinway's. It is almost as if they tried to copy Steinway's sound and succeeded.
The pianist himself is amazing, but how about a round of applause for the Yamaha rep following along on the music to know when the page needed to be turned.
YES! Thought the same, he knows what he does!
He's probably a classically trained pianist as well, just too shy to flex like that.
I remember some years ago I was on the DC Metro and some guy was playing violin at the station, and it sounded amazing. My only regret was I was running late to meet someone and didn’t stick around for more than maybe 2 minutes, because I found out later he was Josh Bell, one of the most famous violinists in the world. Sometimes we really should stop and listen to the music in our lives.
No matter if that was Josh Bell or some random stranger, if they were playing extraordinarily amazing, I would stop and stay until they finish their piece!!
I AM SO JEALOUS. a writer for the Washington Post wrote an absolutely magnificent piece called Pearls Before Breakfast about Bell doing that that won the Pullitzer-- it's actually what introduced me to not only him, but the Chaconne, which is probably my absolute favorite piece of music that has ever been created. so i'm just grateful for even having read the piece-- i can't even imagine having gotten to see it in person, if only for one fleeting moment.
Well you would've gotten off at the wrong stop if you stayed 😅 that's a great story
Damn so you're probably in that one video then haha

I don't appreciate it because I don't like Beethoven. That kind of music is just loud, obnoxious and screaming at me to put my hands over my ears.
How can people just keep walking by, like they're not experiencing a world-quality performance right here at Costco?? This is unbelievable!
Easy. Put one foot in front of the other. That’s how
Did you ever think that some people don't like Beethoven's music?
Costco got mad free advertising there for their pianos.
Also... Costco sells pianos????!!
Costco has *_EVERYTHING_*
yeah i know right the Costco’s around my city don’t sell any
Depend on the Costco. The one in my city work with one of the music places in town to have their piano be sold through Costco
Yeah but you have to buy them in a pack of six
This is totally normal for Costco, hence why they even have demos. I've gone up a couple of times when I was younger.
every asian mother passing through with their children : "see... why can't you be more like him?"
But in this case the kid was adopted by a white mother. God bless them.
Lol

Feel the rhythm, to feel connected
Enough to step aside and weep like a widow
To feel inspired
To fathom the power
To witness the beauty

Help I’m asian
Comparing is the first commitment of the devil
Wow! Truly amazing. Such beautiful music. Amazing talent. Thank you for playing so beautifully.
Seriously brought me to tears. A true master.
I wish my parents had forced me to keep taking piano lessons as a kid. I would love to even be 1/10th this good.
If you do now you can be 1% this good, which is pretty damn good
Because this dude is insane
It's never too late to start learning - and you can find keyboards for cheap when just starting out
Trust me you dont
You'd never love it if you were forced. But also it's never a bad time to start back up again! I failed band class but now I'm a composer.
I wish I had kept taking piano lessons after my piano burned to the ground... after burning through the floor... with the house... and about 120,000 hectares of land. I've never heard another piano sound quite like our old Knauss-Coblenz. There's something magical about pianos... like I said, mine vanished into thin air.
Here I am at 30 years old; the first time I’ve been moved to tears by instrumental music… and it’s a youtube video of an unofficial Costco concert. Simply beautiful.
Classical music will do that to ya. Jumps out of nowhere. Glad you got to experience the magic!
@@paullowell3342 modernization of classical though.
It doesnt happen often for me, interestingly I find the low quality but meaningful 'stobe the hobo' piano score to his own freight train youtube series quite moving.
magnificent playing! how blessed to have been a customer there that day !
So many hours of hard work behind this performance! Respect,
“PRACTICE 40 HOURS A DAY OR END LIKE THIS GUY” Bruh Your Lie in April vibes.

@@danielle7621 isn't this a twosetviolin reference?
Uhhhh, wrong reference...
@@pancakedroid I know I said “vibes”
The pure power of "I own the whole piano so I'm gonna use the whole piano" is being transmitted to him and it empowers him to do the same
Watching multiple times, and still search and loved it. Thank you very much
I’ve watched this video so many times. I hope to learn this piece one day
"Sir.......you got the job. Welcome to the Costco family."
It’s many peoples’ dream to flex a difficult song in front of many passing by customers.
I'm doing it at the airports. Its funny when everyone pretend nothing happens. Nothings changed. I'll sit here not doing anything. Wait is that a fly?
Just love that a lot of us really just want to sit there, appreciate and watch!
How I wish there is always this kind of volunteer pianist entertainer where we could listen for free and feel relaxed
I practiced everyday for years on the piano. And all I got was this free gig at Costco.
Thanks a lot Moooooom!
i like to see strangers putting smile on other strangers' faces especially on a time like this. As adults we forget to be kind to one another, we become more cautious which is natural but no matter what be kind to everyone around you and you will see reality in a different light. We rise by lifting others up.
This was just...fabulous, outstanding performance!
Mesmerized by the audio quality. Nicely done! Mad skillz!

why did that give me nostalgia like it sounded like the pokemon song...
seriously!!! sapphire and ruby definitely
Totally!! It brought back my childhood memories of playing Pokemon Emerald on sunny saturday afternoons :')
YES, it sounds very similar to Verdanturf Town's theme.
@@solridge YEAH that's what i was thinking
@@jesuki bingo
Yamaha rep: Ok. You buy piano now?
Pianist: No.
Lol XDXDD
"I'm just free sampling the piano, but thanks for offering"
If I saw him play I would literally stand there the entire time because playing like this deserves an audience
This has to be one of my favorite videos..this guy slayed it
