Danilo CuellarThis is arguably my mother's favorite piano piece. Many of the second movements of Beethoven's sonatas are among the most mournful and wonderful in all of piano music. This is a prime example of the mesmerizing effect that Beethoven's music can have on others. In the words of Siegbert Tarrasch, one of the strongest chess players of the early 20th century, "Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy."

Manhattan crowds are insanely addictive! The energy of NY City is amazing! They make me feel like a professional comedian! I hope you enjoy it.Danilo Cuellar 16th Stand Up Comedy NYCC 12/2/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-12-06 | This was an amazing performance! The crowd was very responsive to the jokes. I felt like they were with me the whole time, hanging on to every word I said, a truly delightful experience. I even inserted a few tags improvised on the spot to great success! I can only aspire the rest of the sets to be so satisfying. One can only try one's best. I hope you enjoy it! Feedback is encouraged and appreciated.Danilo Cuellar 15th Stand Up Comedy NYCC 11/12/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-11-21 | Although the first joke was a flop I think I gained the crowd back with the rest of the set. Adam Lucidi is a superb emcee. I hope to work with him again.Danilo Cuellar 13th Stand Up Comedy NYCC 10/29/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-11-11 | ...Danilo Cuellar 14th Stand Up Comedy NYCC 11/5/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-11-08 | This was a great performance for me because here I tested out a new delivery and stage persona, which I think was quite successful. I tried out some new jokes as usual which were a hit on the most part. Some old jokes did not get the reception I expected, perhaps because I rushed them. On the whole a very respectable performance!Danilo Cuellar 11th Stand Up Comedy 10/14/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-10-19 | Another great time performing at McGuire's Comedy Club! I performed for only 5 minutes because I wasn't aware of how much time I had left. I will bring a timer onstage with me next time! The crowd was fairly responsive and I got to try out some new jokes so I can't complain. This was the first time I accidentally pulled the mic cord out of the mic. It made for an interesting show. I hope you enjoy it! :-)Danilo Cuellar 10th Stand Up Comedy 9/9/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-09-13 | This crowd was noticeably more stoic and phlegmatic than my previous audiences. The laughs did not come quite so generously. Perhaps this type of crowd is a more accurate reflection of the true comedic value of a joke. I still enjoyed myself as it posed a healthy challenge for me. The laughs I did get were therefore well deserved! I hope you enjoy it.Danilo Cuellar 9th Stand Up Comedy 8/19/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-08-21 | I had a great time performing as always. I changed the format a bit in order to be able to incorporate more new jokes. The result was stupendous! I was fortunate to have a very receptive crowd. I guess I could have said a few more jokes since I ended 40 seconds shy of 7 minutes but I didn't want to anger the MC. I am quite happy with the result. I know you are all tired of hearing this but, I am getting better!! :-)Danilo Cuellar 8th Stand up Comedy 8/12/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-08-14 | In my opinion another successful performance. Some jokes that where met with silence will be scrapped in the endless process of creating the "perfect" stand up comedy routine. Each performance is a superb learning experience from which my set can only get stronger. I love doing this stuff! :-)Danilo Cuellar 7th Stand Up Comedy 7/15/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-07-16 | I am very happy with this performance. I got to try out a few new jokes with good reception from most of them. Sure a couple where flops but that only reflects the constant variability of stand up comedy. Some are worthy of repetition for the next performance and some are unhesitatingly thrown to the recycling bin of the mind! I look forward to my next performance with great excitement!Danilo Cuellar 6th Stand Up Comedy 7/8/2011Danilo Cuellar2011-07-11 | This is a very unique performance for me. Not only did I feel more comfortable with doing my own original material but even though I was heckled quite a bit I stayed the course, never lost track, and did my set. I am especially proud of this performance being my first truly heckled experience. I hope you enjoy it.Danilo Cuellar 2008- Liszt Un Sospiro.mpgDanilo Cuellar2008-09-10 | This piece I began learning years ago with my last teacher Peter Tarsio and I finished it with the gracious help of Alexandria Le, a doctoral student in piano at Stony Brook University. It is a soulful piece furnished with the technical and poetic beauties that inevitably comprise the best of Lisztian repertoire. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed learning it. Any comments or criticisms are welcome and invited.Danilo Cuellar 2008- Pathetique Mvt IDanilo Cuellar2008-09-10 | This along with the Moonlight Sonata are among the first pieces that I learned when I started piano in 1995 at the age of 12 years old. As a result they are the pieces that are most ingrained in me. One can say Beethoven was my first love. The passion and intensity he injects into his music is unparalleled and exceptional. I regard him as the first of the truly Romantic composers. In the words of Beethoven "Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of women."Danilo Cuellar 2007 - Flight of the BumblebeeDanilo Cuellar2007-10-16 | This was played in the same room as the "Malaguena" (my previus video). Only now this nice new 5 foot J.Strauss and Son baby grand replaces the free 50 year old piano. Enjoy!Danilo Cuellar - Malaguena by Ernesto LecuonaDanilo Cuellar2007-10-07 | This was played on a 50 year old piano we got for free from an old lady who kept it clean and polished but never played or tuned it. Please excuse the sound quality and focus on the music interpretation. I love the Castilian zest in this piece. Maybe I'll replay this piece on the 6' baby grand that has now replaced it.
Another piece of beautiful Castilian flavor I would like to learn is "Souvenirs D' Andalousie" by Louis M. Gottschalk. Any comment or criticisms are invited and appreciated.Danilo Cuellar-Scarlatti Sonata K. 531Danilo Cuellar2007-10-06 | This was a recital of The Teacher's Guild of Rockland County (I think). Each piano teacher was to pick two students to play, so it was I and another student of my teacher's. Any comments or criticisms are invited and appreciated.Danilo Cuellar 1998 - Beethoven Pathetique Sonata 3rd MvtDanilo Cuellar2007-10-03 | Me playing in 11th grade at my high school. At this point I had been playing piano for 4 years. The Pathetique was one of the first pieces I learned, to the chagrin of my teacher. I didn't know how to dress then and I still don't know now. :) Any comments or criticisms are invited and appreciated.
