If you are a Tom Hanks fan, you might remember a very famous and iconic scene he made with Robert Loggia in the movie Big . In it, the two played a song called Heart and Soul on a large floor piano using their feet. This scene was so popular that many people have tried to replicate their performance many times over the years.

In this video from 2017, a German couple recreates the iconic scene with great success.

A German man named Alexander Dennis Volk created his version of this scene and has received a lot of praise for it. Mister Piano, as he is sometimes called, has transformed himself from a class clown to an exceptional and creative piano player.

He started his career by playing accompanying music at various events over the years. As he perfected his skills, he developed an advanced level of visionary thinking, creativity, and extravagance. All of the ideas he has conceptualized over time has allowed him to be on TV shows and made him popular with numerous organizers all over Europe.

Alexander and his partner took to the floor, one day, at the Top Shopping Mall in Bremen, Germany using his own large floor piano. In the video, you can see them surrounded by curious bystanders standing just outside of the barrier that has them and the floor piano enclosed.

Mister Piano and his partner are dressed in black and white outfits, with his partner wearing piano leggings. The audience is immediately entertained as Mister Piano starts to play a few notes by himself. His partner, later, steps in and they play the same notes from the beginning of the song. From there, Alexander gets the crowd to clap as his partner plays the lower keys. He jumps in to play the melody and they continue on for a short while.

Soon after, the two syncs up with one another and then switch places with his partner. She does this by walking behind him as he plays down the keyboard. When she gets in place, they both sync up again to play the same notes. Right before playing the last note, they step off the keyboard, do a handstand, “walk” over to the keyboard and use their hands to play the last set of keys.
