Crowd Mesmerized As Old Woman Showcased Extraordinary Piano Talents On The Streets

In the streets of Kazan, a captivating performance by an elderly woman playing the piano attracted a crowd of people. With the 2018 FIFA World Cup in full swing, the audience consisted of tourists from various nationalities.

The woman skillfully played Franz Liszt’s famous Hungarian Rhapsody No.2, one of his 19 rhapsodies composed between 1846 and 1853. Her rendition of the song was effortless, accompanied by a beaming smile on her face.

During their visit to Russia, the YouTube channel “Life Goes On In Iran” captured a video in 2018 that has since gone viral. As of February 2024, the video has amassed nearly 6 million views.

In the video, faint squeaking sounds can be heard in the background, prompting many viewers to comment on the piano’s aged condition. Being a street piano, it is likely to have endured significant use from passers-by.

However, despite its condition, the enigmatic woman showcased her talent with grace, undeterred by the drawbacks. This only added to the impressiveness of her performance.

Online viewers have showered this talented woman with countless praises for her remarkable skills.

One commented, “Simply sensational. Each time I watch this wonderful video I feel so uplifted. The out of tune piano just seems to add character to the video. Such a privilege to hear her play. I so applaud the red t- shirt man for garnering more appreciation for her as she left.”

Another also praised, “She’s wonderful and lucky – she didn’t miss a note or a beat. Her fingers and hands are so flexible which means she continues to play and still has muscle memory.”
