In 55 years of living , endless learning/reading/discovering like a voracious shark, all along the way.....I've never come across the likes of this man. A sprite, a clown, an elf, a saint, imperfect in his perfection, I love and respect him as the greatest human I have ever come across. Read all you can about him and copy him. He is all I aspire to be, and never will be. The Earth was fortunate to have him walk on it, and he will be the first in Heaven I run to meet. A guiding light for all who would aspire to be good, fair, nice,and noble. We humans do not deserve the likes of him. After all I have learned, he reminds me of how frail and silly I am in comparison. He destroys my arrogance, and simply makes me love.

A true master at the harp. Stunning performance. I was clapping. Can you imagine playing by ear. He never read music. Amazing talent

Beautiful. And look at Harpos face while he plays. No more clowning. Just total love for his music.

I love Harpo's mini journey to strictly adhere to the original music of the 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody. Then he moves it to his own jazz interpretation. This is a virtuoso harpist. Can you imagine what a full solo concert would have been like?

He shows his real genius at 2:30 when he does a synchopated improvization on the classic piece. Just brilliant. What a gift he was and still is.

Back when movie stars had more amazing musical talent stashed in their back pocket, than our strictly-musical celebrities possess today.

I read that Harpo (Arthur Marx) had no idea of how to properly tune or play a harp when he began playing--probably 40 years before this performance. In fact, he NEVER learned the "proper" technique of tuning, but it worked for him regardless. Even when he found harpists to teach him the right techniques, THEY ended up becoming mere spectators who marveled at his remarkable raw ability. They probably learned more from him than he ever learned from them.

I will consider myself to have reached the highest plane of the afterlife if Harpo is there giving lessons to the angels.

In his book, HARPO SPEAKS, he said “The one running around and nuts, that’s the other guy. The one that sits down and plays the harp, that’s me.”

I first read “Harpo Speaks” a long time ago when I was 14 years old (1974). He wrote about how his grandparents were stage performers back in Germany and that his grandmother’s harp sat in the corner with no strings. He grew up wondering how it sounded, thought that it was a cruel trick of fate that he couldn’t hear what it sounded like. So the very first time that he got a chance he had the harp restrung and taught himself to play.

When I was a child, I couldn't wait for these musical interludes to be over. Now, I go back and rewatch the Marx Brother's old movies, and am entranced by their musical talent.

One of the most underrated musical geniuses to ever live...and yet so self deprecating and humble...and funny...God bless you Harpo!!! (Thank you)

The concentration when he plays is really something and he's in another place altogether.

The way he leans into it at the end... It's such a sense of affection. Almost like he drops character to pay homage to it.
