It was written for piano, of course, because the electric cello had yet to be invented... "I used both of my 5-string electric cellos (one tuned extra high and one extra low) and the acoustic cellos to give this piece a unique feel and a high level of emotion. I used another melody from Beethoven -- try and guess what it is (guess before you scroll down to the credits where it is listed!) It starts at 1:21 and reoccurs throughout the tune. This melody happened spontaneous in the studio and saved the tune from a bad case of writer's block." -Steven Sharp Nelson Credits Music produced by Al van der Beek & Steven Sharp Nelson Written and performed by Steven Sharp Nelson Inspired by Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and the melody from Beethoven's 7th Symphony, 2nd movement (Allegretto) Recorded, mixed & mastered by Al van der Beek at TPG Studios Video produced by Paul <b>...</b>moonlight, sonata, the, piano, guys, cellos, yamaha, drums, michael, meets, mozart, jon, schmidt, cello, song, classical, steven, bach, concerto, stephen, orchestra, beethoven, symphony, plays, minor, violin, prelude, movement, allegro, johann, baroque, sebastian, no1, no2, schubert, organ, pianist, franz, 7th, allegretto, movie, theme, soundtrack, electric, sharp, nelson, Bonneville, salt, flats, Utah, ut, moonlight sonata piano, moonlight sonata, recitalDEMoonlight - Electric Cello (Inspired by Beethoven) - ThePianoGuyshttp://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/rR94NDIfGmA2011-05-18T04:51:32.000Z2012-05-28T15:21:23.000ZMichael Meets Mozart - 1 Piano, 2 Guys, 100 Cello Tracks - ThePianoGuysBecome a Piano Guys Founder and get our Limited Edition Piano Guys Album (YouTube Hits Vol. 1) here: www.thepianoguys.com Support us by downloading this song at one of the following links: Our site (Limited Edition) - thepianoguys.com iTunes - itunes.apple.com Follow ThePianoGuys here: www.thepianoguys.com Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter: twitter.com After our Taylor Swift Coldplay mash-up, lots of people wanted more song combos. This led us to the creation of a cool hip hop/classical mash-up, but again we could not get permission. Instead of scrapping the great ideas, we used them to create an original tune. You will hear influences and inspiration from other artists. Try and guess them. On the recording, Steven Sharp Nelson laid down over 100 tracks including cello textures never known possible. Every single sound on the video was made using only the instruments shown: piano, cello, mouth percussion and kick drum. We utilized some cool effects on lots of stuff...for example the U2-style delay on Steve's pizzicato at the beginning. The extra string on the electric cellos (the black cello has an extra high string and the white cello has an extra low string) allowed us to cover the full range of the orchestra. The deep bass drum sound is a bump on the body of the cello with a little help from some effects. The shaker sound was created by Steve rubbing rosin on his bow. The record scratch is Steve scratching a quarter on the strings...you get the idea.
