Usually musicians who are as good as he is CAN hear it just by looking at the music… which is arguably more impressive. When you’re that fast, you doesn’t “read” the notes, just like when you’re skimming a book, you don’t actually read every word. People like him are just incredibly talented at taking a glimpse at the sheet and understanding the way it all gets put together, not a note or measure at a time but by entire phrases and sections.

He's been focusing on sight-reading since the mid-1970s, so he's quite good at it. He has a vast collection of obscure ragtime sheet music (was even interviewed on a TV show about collectors), and regularly takes a few out to play in his sets. He doesn't memorize many tunes, because he doesn't have to.

MrGrizmint You say it because he made variations?... that's simple. When a musician plays a lot of a same style, some things "sound" to him in some way, iven if he read it in the sheet in another (directors and composers always piss of of this, but its instinctively). I saw another videos of this guy and of course he plays first some parts of the sheet first and later plays the whole tune. Maybe he "read" the chord entirely, no note by note when finally play the song. But the amazing fact is he do this in minutes whitout the need to study the sheet, and this is what musician calls "first sigth skill".

0:48 You can tell this is a sight-read right here, because anyone who's heard this will know the tempo is a little off here. Still, it sounds beautiful, what a marvelous play through. I wish Tom the best! Edit: I forgot to mention that when he went to double time it sounded perfect.

"I showed a score of the popular Athlete's Rag, from Super Mario Bros. to ragtime pianist, Tom Brier" He said, "It looks like a piece of cake" Are you sure he said that? Or did he say, "It looks like a piece of cake walk"

Dude it's a Ragtime joke. A "Cakewalk" is an early form of Ragtime and dance where the prize was a cake if you won. This is where the expression "looks like a piece of cake" comes from actually.

He knew the song before he looked at the paper, it played from his heart and soul. Love transcends time and allows musicians to play like this, the sheet music is there just to show what direction to go in.
