Nicole Pesce is a concert pianist of the highest caliber. She’s been at work since early childhood, having memorized over 500 songs by the age of 7. Now, as an adult, she’s personally composed over 300 and is famous for her comedic performances reminscent of the late Victor Borge.

In this concert delivered in 2011, Pesce imagined what the classic tune “Happy Birthday” would sound like if it had been written by famous classical composers. She mixes up that song with Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”, Chopin’s “Military Polonaise”, Brahms’s “Lullaby”, Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor”, and a Mozart piece that I can’t name.
For the final bit, Pesce imagines Mozart performing it while very drunk. Quite athletically, she plays the piano while upside down. Pesce takes her inspiration from a particular scene in the film Amadeus.
