We loved it. It combined two of the things we are working to accomplish -- inviting people to classical music and inspiring young musicians. Steven Sharp Nelson had soloed with the orchestra the previous year and loved the spirit and the talent that the orchestra showed at such young ages (ages 13-18!) Together we developed the concept of "Beethoven's 5 Secrets," combining OneRepublic's tune "Secrets" with melodies and moments from all four movements of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. We used 5 different melodies from the 4 movements of Beethoven's 5th Symphony (not including the "bridge" the orchestra plays in the middle). Try to guess where they are and where they come from! What are Beethoven's secrets? He had many. His most prominent secret that he desperately tried to keep from the public and that caused him to be considered extremely eccentric, irritable, and hermit-like was his "weakness." He was deaf during most of his life. Imagine that...one of the greatest composers that ever lived could hardly hear. And yet, he wrote his life's greatest works after becoming deaf. He believed that art itself had "secrets" that had to be "forced into" in order to obtain art's highest level. There is no doubt Beethoven discovered many of the "secrets" of art -- people all over the world enjoy them every day. He was a true master of music, blessed by God. This piece and video are dedicated to him. Perform "Beethoven's 5 Secrets" and the entire Beethoven Symphony No. 5 with Steven Sharp Nelson at Lyceum Music Festival this year! Work up-close and personal with Steven and other amazing professional musicians like the concertmaster of the London Symphony and Rotterdam Orchestra. Advanced players ages 13-21 are invited to audition.

Do you have the cello sheet music for the piece?? It's amazing!!! What is the instrument at 1:04? Please answer :) You guys give us better music every week! I'm so glad your still going. I made a little bit of music from you guys' inpiration! Check em' out! And also another special thanks to the original creators of the songs. Beethoven and One Republic. Without you it wouldn't be possible It's hard for me to express how much I appreciate this piece. I love that you combined two beautiful pieces of work into something that is truly unique and your own. Thank you to all of the people who put in the effort to make this video. It truly is a gift for those who listen to it. What I would give to be one of these kids and perform with Steve!! Lucky people! I'm a writer/blogger and ever since I started to listen to your music while writing, I get feedback saying I improved so much! Those lucky kids... 203 people need ear enlargements:) or heart transplants whatever there are 203 people i hate "Don't only practice your art But force your way into its secrets For it and knowledge can Raise men to the divine" I so agree with this :) <3 Anyone else agrees with it too? Todos unos genios, esto es musica!!! los felicito!!! wow  I really love this. It is so beautiful. In Beethovens case, why hear when you can feel some'n this beautiful. Half the people who can hear still can't feel the beauty... So Beethoven wouldn't like his own song? someone who is deaf and can't hear it would dislike it But sadly that's the thing. Some people will refuse to like this. Why I don't know Electric cello. :) Hi Everyone! If you could please help me get the PianoGuys to notice my comment that would be sooooo awesome! I wrote an original song dedicated to our Earth and they definitely played a major role in inspiring the video (rolled my piano into the forest, etc). So please THUMBS UP, it would mean so much :) thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up if this makes you smile :D es hermoso como me gustaría alguna vez ser parte de una sinfonía Wow this is beautiful! I just love it! I download this on iTunes Can I just say this is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard? Like, in my life?
