Pianist/ Comedian, Emile Pandolfi
Steinway Artist Emile Pandolfi is a highly regarded performer known for his mesmerizing live shows and sophistication as an artist. Born in New York but raised in Greenville, SC, Pandolfi is a classically trained pianist, an instrument he took up at the age of five. He earned a degree in piano performance, but turned to popular music afterward in search of more humor and flexibility. Such exploration led Pandolfi to perform in England and Australia before landing base in Los Angeles, where he would arrange compositions for dancing, acting, and opera coaches, cruise ships, and clubs. Most notably, his impeccability led him to be one of four pianists to record the anthem "Rhapsody In Blue" to be played at the opening ceremonies for the 1984 Olympics, not to mention one of 84 pianists to perform live at the event. This experience also led him elsewhere, mostly along the comedy route, playing improv shows with Bobcat Goldthwait, Jay Leno, Robin Williams, David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, and many more.
Pandolfi moved his family back to his hometown of Greenville in the mid-'80s and became a resident pianist at a local club until 1993. During this time, he also recorded his debut album entitled By Request, which was picked up by a national distributor and released in 1991. Sales of By Request have surpassed gold status. His work is in such high demand that his various material of Broadway show tunes, standards, and film scores have lead Pandolfi to sell nearly three million albums worldwide. His album roster also includes the critically acclaimed Please Welcome... (1993), Nights on Broadway (1994), and Evening Romance (2000).
Aside from his musical passions, Pandolfi contributed his talents to a fundraiser with the United Way in 1994, a benefit concert showcasing his musical and comical talents while raising thousands of dollars for various charities.

Classically trained from the age of five, Emile has applied his considerable technical skills to the creation of beautiful, classically influenced piano solo arrangements.
The live performance is more than a musical concert, however. Drawing on his years at LA’s Comedy Store and his very personable, friendly sense of humor, Emile introduces, or “sets up” each medley or piece. In the classical portion of the show, he uses humor and sometimes, costume to bring even greater enjoyment and understanding of the pieces. The result is that audience members quickly feel at ease and experience two hours of exceptional entertainment in a variety of genres.

Thank you so very much for sharing this video of you playing, "Pure Imagination".
Since 1971, this piece has always been an efficacious reminder for me.
Last year, for the 1st time, I heard you play this from another room, on Pandora, and it immediately struck my heart strings.
I quickly ran into the room to see who was playing this piece.
Asking myself, who in the world has the gift, through a piano solo, to interpret and convey their honest, humble, and inspiring feelings as well as express the true journey of this piece and it's spirit of never-ending enlightenment, vision, discovery, magic, encouragement, hope, dreams, and transformative difficulties.
I was pleased to have found your arrangement on Musicnotes.com and purchased it.
It's nice to finally watch your fingering and understand a bit of your psychology, so as to play this piece as it was intended. Which I understand, will be different every time it's played.
I believe, I understand what you mean when you mentioned, you need to just feel it, and that you have to separate your thinking. It's like that for me when playing, Mendelssohn's, "Song Without Words", Duetto, Op.38 No.6.
Your mind is shift-tasking at all times.
... Again, Thank You, so very much!
Elivia Ortiz
I wish my generation (gen z) appreciated this kind of music more. It’s so beautiful and angelic🙏🏼 Thank you so much for this piece, I listen to it every day.
𝒮𝓆𝓊𝒶𝓇𝑒𝒷𝑜𝑜
I’m gen z and I love this kind of stuff. I’m going to practice this every day until I can play it all the way through with no mess ups

🗿 stop dissing us 😭
Susan Oliveira Lima
Simplesmente divino. O sr nos traz com maestria belíssimas músicas. Tocas com coração e alma. Muito obrigada 🙏🎹🎶👏
Anna Hatch
You are my favorite piano arranger of all time. Every note you play is astoundingly beautiful. I am playing your arrangement of this piece on my senior recital next month and I hope to do it justice. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it and can’t wait to perform it!! 😭💖
Emile Pandolfi
Wow, Anna, Congrats on playing this one in your senior recital!. As we both know, the intro is pretty tricky. I loved arranging this one. Also, I hope you will listen to the commercial recording on YT because this demo vid is just recorded on an iPad, and the recorded sound is awful, as I am sure you noticed.
Anna Hatch
@Emile Pandolfi wow, thank you so much for responding! I actually first heard it on Spotify so the quality was great! The intro is tricky but beautiful and there’s so much freedom I feel I have when playing it.
Alexis Villegas
Love this so much!! 😭 I just ordered the sheet music & I’m so excited to learn it. 😍
Hilary Wightman
I hope you know how much comfort and joy your music brings , especially to the "elderly"...Next to my family and health the privilege to hear your music continuously and at all hours is one of my greatest blessings.
ruby dooby
One of my favorite pieces ❤️
