The blood pressure in that room rose 800% after the phone ring
Melonie Jen another 1000% after he stopped
The person who owned the phone was rushed to the hospital after an intense nosebleed brought on by copious amounts of stress
Classical musicians are soft. Jazz players adapt and improvise.
@@newagain9964 yeah jazz musicians play the ringtone on the piano haha
@@newagain996499% of the time, jazz would be too loud to even hear any disruption, but classical music is often intimate and transparent, so that type of stuff really ruins so many magical moments, and all you have to do is just remember to silence your phone
Imagine if the ringtone came from the stage instead
Like the nard dog.
@@juliazhu1018 yep
Never
I thought it did
@@juliazhu1018 Yeah because it is physically impossible to bring a phone on the stage right?
I've kept my phone on silent for eight years now, only having it on ring if I'm expecting a call.
same
Same, I hate phone noises
Idk who tf actually uses a ringer.
wow
for iphone users you have to click the silent switch...and also in setting syou have to lower the ringer volume or even your alarms and calendar notifications will still go off....it happened to me many times and i thought put my iphone on silent.
Long long before cellphones, I was at a Beethoven piano performance and the amount of fecking digital watches that beeped once an hour, unbelievable...
Same here! I also used to go watch Beethoven perform, and he would get so annoyed from the beeping of peoples watches and pagers...
I think I was at the same show! Where was it?
George Tempest wait a minute something ain’t right here
@Victor Korgoth i know right. Smh my head
Victor Korgoth that isn’t true. All sorts of people enjoy classical music. Beauty can be recognized by anyone.
if that was me with the cellphone, I could have died from embarrassment
Damn right, no excuse for it.
I would scream SORRY!!!

Juan Pretorius because you have an old ass nokia
Juan Pretorius oh my god. Did you get Ridiculed in any way?
I love the violin players face. He's like "ohhh shitttt he's done it now!"
hahaha its the best!
he looks like he is trying so hard not to laugh
89Redge "oh shittttttttt" he must have been thinking
89Redge His face showed that he messed up so badly he was terrified 😂
Same 😂😂😂
Imagine that guy calling again a minute later
Friend: hey I tried to call you-
The guy: yeah... And right now I'm being glared by everyone in the orchestra so *THANKS!!!*
I was attending a lecture. My phone 📱rang. I couldn't even find the buttons to put the damned thing off. I was so embarrassed. So I ran out of the hall. Never again have I gone to a lecture, church or concert without putting the phone on silent.
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
The person calling: How rude, you didn’t answer me.
The orchestra: How rude, you interrupted our performance.
The soloist: How rude, you interrupted my solo.
The audience: How rude, you interrupted the concert.
The guy with the cell phone:
It doesn’t take that long to mute a phone.
It does for the average concert visitor (50 years +)
He said “don’t answer it, let it ring”
If its in the bag from marry poppins then yes
The person probably froze.
Josh Luxon-Robinson I think he meant to not answer it. Let it ring means that
I was on a jazz concert couple years ago and the band played some rhythm changes tune. In the middle of a guitar solo a phone rang. The guitarist started to improvise (brilliantly) on the ringer melody. The person with the phone was embarrassed enough. During the concert, the guitarist would bring up the theme couple more times to an amusement of the audience. Now that was a classy reaction!
+vecernicek2 search for nokia tune violin trust me
+Ace IsTheShit Haha, that one is a classic.
+Ace IsTheShit I prefer this version - even use it as my ring tone.
vecernicek2 that is a man i highly admire. how joyous!
+drchen054 If you want to check him out, his name is Libor Smoldas. He has plenty videos here on YT, unfortunately not from that evening.
"Don't answer, please"
*DESTROYED IN SECONDS*
That's a lot of damage!
I'm pretty sure he said "don't answer." "Let it ring."

Papa Louie the Chef imagine guy answers the call and they callinbfrom the hospital your mum is dead xd and everyone else heasr it cause he put it on speakerphone
CZcams: "Look, isn't it terrible how this cell phone ruined the performance?"
Also CZcams: **brutally interrupts classical performances with loud ads**
You’re complaining for ads that let you watch it for free, you could just pay and get rid of the ads if they bother you that much.
@@furikakez Or you know, they could have ads, that are actually watchable and not the same old bullshit of, "RAID SHADOW LEGENDS"
fuck that! I'm not paying paying the people who produce that shit
@@harixxt No, you would be paying CZcams to stop putting ads to your account. The ads companies won't be receiving anything.
So if you want to keep watching it for free, CZcams has to keep using Ads and receiving money from them.
@@furikakez Ah true.
But I'm not gonna pay youtube to stop showing me those shitty ads. That's like paying someone to stop playing his instrument caus he plays it so badly.
@@harixxt It's of course ok to use the free service. But if you are not willing to pay, don't complain about the ads.
For the 2,400 who gave this a thumbs down, you need to understand that the reason people go to a classical concert is the magic. It's an escape into a world of beauty and art and virtuosity that you just don't experience outside of the auditorium, and a ringtone completely ruins it for everybody. The audience members pay good money to attend. The musicians work hard to prepare. And some knucklehead forgets to silence his phone and BOOM!!! the magic is gone. Hard to get it back. So I can understand how the man was upset and waited until the ringing stopped. He wasn't being rude. He was reacting to the rudeness.
Jew and Greek 2400 people listen Rap Music ...
Jew and Greek that applies to all music. Imagine getting to the good part of a rock song or when the beat is about to drop in a remix but later it’s interrupted by someone. It ruins everything
@Aloo Gaming never heard of this genre
They pressed thumb down not because they listen to rap or whatever they prefer, but because this type of video isnt their cup of tea, and if u press thumbs down, youtube wont recommend this type of video to them anymore
ew
Haha, "don't answer, let it ring!" He was mad, and rightfully so!
+MegaSnake1000 ♫ "Let it ring, let it ring, Don't answer that any more".. ♪ ♫
+MegaSnake1000 rightfully!
+MegaSnake1000 He's probably like: you have to be playing some sort of a joke of me, NOW?!
+MegaSnake1000 After answering all the same: "Actually the call is for you Mr. Zacharias."
MojoProductions So clever. Your mother must be proud
Haydn probably would have made a joke about it or mocked the person in a witty way. Beethoven would have smashed the phone to bits and/or thrown an instrument at the person's head.
Beethoven wouldn't have heard the phone ( sry 4 bed inglish)
Not Broihon hehe, I forgot about that part. Well, let's say YOUNG Beethoven would have done what I said then.
+Not Broihon hahahhahahahahahahhah
+Not Broihon Nice thought :-) Cellphones ringing, the audience is talking, violins are out of tune but Beethoven makes the conducting straight forward. Hearing the music only in his mind.
Then again bethooven would have never heard it...
I thought the phone was gonna interrupt his pacemaker or something
dead.
Im so sorry i laughed at this.
Well shit
😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
That is one of the most depressing ringtones ever
At least mine is the 1st Movement from Bach's Brandenberg Concerto N⁰.3, by Trevor Pinnock ...
Took me hours to figure out how to transfer it from the CD, to the Phone, them make it my ringtone, but hell is it worth it ...
@@nigelft in the future, it might be easier to download the music you want straight from CZcams.
The S1 variant of that ringtone (Samsung Tune) is better (IMO).
Later found out that Haydn called.

"Hello? Haydn speaking."
Spooky
In my experience, when a cellphone goes off at an inappropriate time, the ringtone is almost always Bad to the Bone
UsernameUser because the people don't usually have the greatest taste if they leave their phone on
my phone is in silent for about 2 years now. never needed to hear the ringtone
I thought this was going to be first ever pianist to commit murder in a packed concert hall
I laughed an nearly woke up my kids when i read this bravo sir!
@@tpstrat14 You don't know what you're talking about. It's a classical concert, and just in a very quiet fragment, so silence must be absolute. Whispering is disturbing so nobody talks, just listen, imagine the sound of a cellphone there, it destroys everything. That's not a metal or pop concert where you can scream at your buddy's ear and nothing happens. Even more, concentration for classical music is really much needed, for a solo piano the most, the slightest fail will break everything, so he did absolutely what had to be done.
Looney toons
@@jamesw6054 bugs bunny playing piano !?

I expected them to continue by playing the ringtone after the pause.

He is absolutely correct. These cell phone interpretations happen in church and and other important gatherings. People need to be more considerate of the fact. Sad!

kekster bojester such a silly argument.
You're comment makes you sound like a moron! I assume you are a millennial?
poor classical musicians. they get killed by phonecalls, loud coughing and sneezing and are severelly underpayed but overworked
Many are well payed and have paid a steep price to be well payed.
To much stress 😆 they need to be a little bit more relaxed like jonas kaufmann
Ironically, this video introduced me to Haydn. Without the interruption, so many people would have missed the beauty of this music.
Nerthus butterfly effect
Irony at its finest
Arkadi Danielyan, your comment was a trainwreck. Ironic, that you implied someone was "lower status" while abandoning basic English syntax.
Arkadi Danielyan, adding in the comment about the U.S. President is an ad hominem fallacy. It's common among children.
Arkadi Danielyan, you're under some delusion that I care about trump and you have a very loose grasp on how to communicate with people. CZcams comment section suits you. I'm sorry that you exist, good luck with it.

At my school's spring concert, someone let his 5 year old listen to Let it Go in the middle of a performance without headphones. The song ended, and only then he noticed it was up full blast.

"Watch and hear the concert (without ringtones)..."
Well played.
I was at Carnegie watching Yo-Yo ma and Emanuel Axe perform and one of the ushers ON STAGE was on their phone basically the whole time and towards the end, it went off. I’ve never seen someone so unappreciative for an opportunity to be payed to sit on stage at Carnegie hall.
Anyone saw this video recommended?
Nb yes apparently CZcams algorithm has gone wild about thisb
Yeah
Here, and i don't know why...
I play violin, so it makes sense...
I dont even care now.. just enjoying whatever CZcams recommend me that i never seen before..
the little cell phone just wanted to play along, jeez, calm down
Steven Thomas and I'd say that you have no idea how to take a joke, as this comment obviously was. I do agree with what you said though, music is hard.
L0L someone doesn't know how to take jokes.
I am not good at catching jokes likes this. You're right.
1.) it's called a mobile phone (not "cell phone", that's 3rd world)
2.) you clearly have no culture or decency
3.) with your attitude, you will always be low income and despised.
Now fuck off
I Stomp Conservative Ass how many people on here don't know how to take a joke? Jeez. Technically cell phone is one of the many correct words for mobile phone, I personally call mine a telephone because I like the word more. Also, I wouldn't be taking about decency with a reply like that. You're a very rude person, good luck having a high income job with an attitude like that.
I thought this video was going to be about someone called Haydn that died because he got hit with a Nokia or an explosion by a galaxy note or something
I know, it was just stupid click bait.
Me tooo
😂😭🤣
OMG haydn died in like 1800s you normally call a music piece by the composer so instead of saying Moonlight Sonata played on piano its beethoven played on piano
That would be hilarious, but sadly, no.
Anyone else recommended to this 5 years later?
im not a fan of classical music but i understand him its a delicate moment of beauty destroyed
+RICKY judging by your comment you seem unable to comprehend that people have different tastes. How egocentric are you? I like classical music as well but I don't feel the need to address its superiority over other genres, because objectively there is none. Maybe you'll say "oh, but classical music is much more diverse and has more variety, in regard to time signatures or keys", but that's because you haven't explored any other music. There's plenty of recent music that's just as complex and intricate as classical music. You probably only see what's on the radio and make your judgement by that, not looking any further. Even in classical periods more people listened to folk songs than classical music by a lot. Maybe you should mature and explore music some more before you make such stupid arguments
+RICKY boohoo
As a musician this REALLY pisses me off. It's not easy at all to keep time and melody with 80 other musicians when other music totally unrelated is playing. These people have been preparing probably for weeks, working hard to give this concert of beautiful music, and the folks in the audience paid their money to see it. So inconsiderate. You can live without being attached to your phone for just ONE hour.
Weeks? Lol they probably rehearsed the day before
+Silver Pawductions rehearsing and taking the necessary time to learn the piece are two different things.
This concert in particular, they probably didnt spend much time on their own either, what they did spend a lot of time on was their instrument over multiple decades so they dont have to waste time learning their orchestral parts
Silver Pawductions
Nonetheless, wouldn't you say that it's disrespectful of the cell phone owners with regard to the time and energy spent on learning the craft? I still think so.
*****
Were you directing your comment to me or to Silver Pawductions ? I agree with what you said... in fact, it's more or less what I was trying to articulate in the original post.
Plot twist: It was actually the phone of the pianist himself, that’s why the ringtone kept playing till the end - The pianist was too busy acting annoyed.
@ issa JOKE
@ imagine not getting the concept of a joke like this guy
"The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between." - Mozart
I thought it was a modern piece entitled "haydn killed by cell phone" quite disappointed.
death72 you and me both
But that's exactly what it is.
What do you mean? This ís an art piece called "Haydn Killed By Cell Phone".
I thought it was footage of someone throwing a cell phone at Haydn and killing him
apiiii
it would be hilarious if her ringtone was some thug life song

(this comment made more sense before the previous poster edited his comment)
Well, I thought it was funny.
Every concert hall should have a large sign at the entrance saying: "If your cell phone goes off in here, you will be banned from all of these concert halls for life".
Banned for life? Not sure but there should be a charge about twice as much as the concert fee.
That's rather kind compared to what I was thinking.
0:02 you can hear the cell phone (use headphones)
“Scott earned the power of S E L F - R E S P E C T!”
I am so afraid of that shit happening that I always turn off my phone, shoot my phone with a gun multiple times, set it on fire and throw the ashes to the ocean before I go to a classical music concert.... After all that, the phone would ring in my pocket only if Chuck Norris would call me.
+Jarkko Makkonen Same here lol, I get so paranoid that I always turn off my phone, not just put it on silent mode.
If I were at a concert such as the one in this video, I probably would take out the battery as well, and put it in the other pocket, away from the phone, lol.
Hahaha!!!!!
Great comment!

How did we get from phones disturbing a concert to bicycles being damaged by morons?

And again you make me laugh :)
Is that a Finnish name you have?
Fuckin clickbait, Haydn isn't dead he gave you an entire interview after the clip.
I really hope this is sarcasm.
Yep, I thought it was a Nokia.
I have to admit I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Haydn discovered a source for immortality, faked his own death, and hasn't come out of hiding for 200 years because he's just waiting for the right moment to say "PSYCH!!! Oh man, that was a good one."
He was Christian Zacharias and Haydn died in 1809
Haydn was the composer of the original piece.
Man, I just had one of my biggest concerts last night, and there was a cell phone going off at one of the most quiet parts of the piece. I feel.
Omw, rip. . .
I'm glad the composer didn't have a John McEnroe personality or else this recital would have been entertaining for the wrong reason
hahahah
I thought maybe someone was gonna die from an exploding Samsung

ItsJosten! same
Id be mad just for the fact someone is using that ringtone
Imagine if it started ringing and it was the same song as the one played
Literally, this ruin the concert. That is not a stadium with a trash metal band where the power of the sound is high enough to permeate your ass.
It is not about that musicians can´t start over. Indeed they did it. The problem is that their mood and concentration are no longer the same.
lol? metal? trash? get the fuck out of here you know nothing about music. Metal, especially prog is as close to classical as it gets in terms of composition and creativity.
xXErr4rXx I see how screaming into a microphone to the point of distortion is similar to piano and classical music.
@@muq1049 you fucking killed him dude
@@muq1049 there are other genres of metal where they don't scream tho

HELLO? YES, I'M AT A CONCERT.
I've been going to concerts since I was 12 (even played a few! Well, more recitals than concerts, but still!), and at this point, I've seen it all. I've seen the 300-pound man snoring away two rows behind me, or the 20-year-old playing video games on mute with a super bright screen in the row in front of me (it also didn't help that he was dressed for a baseball game), or the countless people who's "whispered conversations" were loud enough to hear 20 seats away. And yes, I've also seen the cellphone ring, and I was fortunate enough to hear it not in the middle of a piece, but at the end of that most serene second movement of Ravel's Piano Concerto just as it came to a close. I was so relaxed... And as upset as I was, I can only imagine how the artists felt, those talented people who spent so many hours working hard to put on their best performance!
I wonder if they will perform Vivaldi’s Spring Season, would be an awesome concerto
Bet that guy who let the phone ring felt really, really stupid after this
The Holy Dream this is by far the stupidest attempt of someone trying to makw a problem out of nothing
***** ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Was I the only one who thought the orchestra were gonna start playing the ringtone, as if it were some sort of joke?
Lol I thought that too when he said not to answer it
James Thompson i think a solo violist actually did that
Yes, it's pretty common xD
James Thompson, i tought it too first xD
What ringtone was that?
I was at a symphony concert a few weeks ago and during the performance a phone rang LOUD. Even worse, the owner answered but decided not to speak. So for several minutes we were just constantly hearing “Hello? Are you there? Hellooooo???” Neither person would hang up.
He explained this very well. And I totally agree with him.
Christopher Thorkon and I agree aswell!
honestly i think that they should have kept playing because it was the professional thing to do
Well you clearly aren't a professional and have no fucking clue what a professional should do.
WowFan991 A professional would have stopped the concert to make clear this is no way to appreciate a classic concert! Oh wait, he did!
@@WowFan991 it’s not about offending anyone, or being over sensitive. It’s about the appreciation and respect we have for the music itself. That moment the ring goes off, it’s a disrespect to the music the most and just ruins all the appreciation music demands. It’s also rude to the musicians but more importantly the music. Everyone at the concert is giving the attention and respect to the music being created by the musicians.
The ringtone was straight fire though
Straaaaaight fire....better than the concert
Lmaooo you two have no class. Choosing the tune of a ring tone over an expertly constructed masterpiece. To each his own i guess.

This is essentially the worst because it’s killing the vibe - you go in a zone, and something interrupting that just completely upends the… spirit of the moment?
Oh please... everyone makes mistakes... this uptight thing drives me nuts
I was half expecting the cell phone to go off again and one of the violin players yelling "Goddammit" right before he smashed his violin on a music stand.
This isn't r&r, violinists do not smash their multiple thousands-of-dollars instruments. Violin makers don't give you replacements, especially the dead ones, even if you are star.
Years ago when I was a freshman in high school, we were having an assembly about suicide prevention after a student from a neighboring district killed herself. During the assembly, a student's phone in the front row went off with the song "Pants on the Ground" by Larry Platt from his American Idol audition. The girl was escorted out by the vice principal. I had to hold in my laughter for the rest of the assembly.
dat boi OH SHIT WADDUP

Thanks to this video, I cannot listen to the Piano Concerto 11 without my brain pulling up the ringtone at that exact part.

We DON'T KNOW if the cellphone rang because the owner forgot to silence it, or did but has a single contact set to override silencing because there may be all manner of situations in their life which need them to answer the phone immediately. Being on the organ transplant wait list, family member with grave medical issues, being part of emergency services professionally and being called in for a disaster. Just some examples. We don't know what the situation was.
I agree that people should silence their phones at concerts or at any other performance or screening, but if that's not possible for them, does that mean they can't go see the orchestra?
@@J0k394 You can set your phone on vibrate or sit in the back. If you can't get creative enough to come up with a solution, then don't go to an orchestra. And in reality, that's almost certainly not what happened here. I play piano myself (not professionally, but I've been learning for about 8 years now) and I would spend hours and hours learning one song. Imagine now the level of dedication and an attention to detail that a professional pianist would put into a piece of music, and then add in the fact that there's hundreds of other people there listening who PAID to be there. Now imagine all of that being thrown out the fucking window cause someone couldn't remember to turn their phone off beforehand (and 9 times out of 10 they'll remind you to turn your phone off at the start of the show, in case it wasn't painfully obvious), and tell me you wouldn't be insulted and disrespected if you were the one performing on that stage.
@@justintime2026 I agree, it's probably someone who forgot. But in case it's not, it's highly pretentious to value a concert over a life or death situation. Some people aren't allowed to set their phone to vibrate because it increases the risk of missed calls. They might put their personal phone on silent but not their calamity phone. We don't know so don't make everyone with valid reasons out to be the devil.
@@justintyler4693 it's always good to look at situations from multiple sides. Yes the probability of it being someone who is plain ignorant of etiquette is high, but it's not the only possibility.
@@J0k394 This is 2019, there are plenty of other ways to alert someone to a call besides making a loud ass noise that everyone else in the concert hall can hear. You can use a smart watch with visual notifications on or something. If you don't care enough to get creative, then don't go to the concert. At the very fucking least sit in the back where everyone can't hear you, though that's still ruining for the experience for those sitting near you so that's still inconsiderate. It's not that the concert is more valuable than their life, it's that the experience of everyone else attending that concert is more important than the experience of that one person who could potentially ruin it for everyone else. No one's life is riding on someone attending an orchestra or staying home.
when this happens at my concerts i also get pretty fucking annoyed. you have to understand that by having your phone ringing in the middle of a song playing you are destroying a unique moment. that's not how music should be treated, you have to respect both musicians and the music itself.
just turn your goddamn cellphones off.
pixie it also annoys me when someone in the audience brings in a baby that just destroys the whole concert. That is very rude
Austin Hernández Agreed on both of them. A baby does not know what music is.
Arjun banerji My mom said it's okay because maybe the parents probably had no choice and the baby doesn't know any better.
Arjun banerji babies most definitely can percieve music
Keyframe Analysis Ok
A more interesting reaction would be to improvise a fugue on the ringing melody.
For the people who wonder why He couldn't just start playing, its not just a matter of respect. Think about the emotion going through his mind before it even rang. The concentration needed to play such a piece of music, shattered not once but twice. Too have to start again both times I can't imagine having the clarity to do so if I were in his shoes. Such a large amount emotions as all eyes are on him after he stops playing it must have been just as embarrassing as it was for the person whos phone rang.
I thought it was part of the script and they're gonna remix.
White Rice judging by that there’s another video with 10 mio views of a classical concert being interrupted by a phone and the artist remixing the ringtone, it actually makes you look like an idiot
+jesus christ here we have it ladies and gentlemen the myth and pompous asshole: Jesus christ
@White Rice I was referring some other video, mate.
only the uneducated would think this video would go into a remix
@@amrt7755 youre an idiot
