There is a vast pool of talent surrounding us, and if we aren’t vigilant, some of it may slip through our fingers. It’s a common occurrence, so we should never be taken aback when it appears right before us.
In 2018, the creators of the YouTube channel ‘Life Goes on in Iran’ were traveling in Russia. They succeeded in recording something truly unexpected, and after sharing it, it garnered millions of views.
An older woman is seated at a street piano in Kazan, where a crowd has gathered to watch the performers. The audience is diverse, with many different nationalities represented among those sitting nearby.
To everyone’s surprise, the woman began playing a classical piece, Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2. This composition was created by Franz Liszt in the mid-1800s and is considered his most famous work.
As she played the piano, the older woman did so effortlessly, all the while wearing a huge smile that reflected her joy in sharing her talent with the crowd.

You might notice some squeaking noises in the background while enjoying the music. This is quite normal since the old street piano has been played by numerous passersby and isn’t always in top shape.
Despite its somewhat worn condition, this woman didn’t let that hold her back from performing. She adored it, the audience adored it, and everyone who watched the YouTube video enjoyed it too.
