Hypothetically: a great piano performance?

Asked by Jeruba (55843points) September 6th, 2023

Let’s say a friend sends you a link to a YouTube video, sharing what they consider a great piano performance. They introduce it with capital letters and exclamation points. “LISTEN TO THIS!!! omg, amazing!!!” Something like that. Or the age-appropriate equivalent.

What you hear is a competent but not brilliant rendition of a not particularly difficult piece, uncomplicated melody and harmony, easy chords, no arpeggios—a pleasant song, lively and upbeat but not a pianist’s challenge.

You reply “Nice. Now you want to hear some real piano playing?” or your tactful equivalent, and send them a link to—what?
