If you liked this then you'll also enjoy Ebrietas, which I consider the better of my two Bloodborne arrangements: • Bloodborne ~ Ebrietas,...
Not to emotionally blackmail you or anything, but it only has 5000 views at time of writing :(
----------------------------------------------------
(Written at time of upload:)
It's nice to get something uploaded this week. I agreed to a chamber concert and didn't realise quite how hard the piano part to Schoenberg's first Chamber Symphony is, and I've been having an absolutely horrible time practising it.
So this has been a welcome distraction when I'm resting my hands (I recorded it a couple of weeks ago).

You have a very good way of compromising for the piano while keeping the character of the original, which is equally impressive as your actual performance of the arrangement

@abbsquqa6828 2 жыл бұрын

I never comment on videos like this, but my god. As a beginner/intermediate pianist, I've been looking for good arrangements for this OST just to satisfy my thrill for good music, and I haven't been able to find any for Ludwig. You, sir, have definitely not only satisfied my ears, but your passion and the way you played this is exactly what I was looking for. I will put this in my to learn list for future reference, and will definitely support you on patreon the moment I get a chance to. I know these long comments are usually cringy, but I couldn't help myself but express how absolutely breathtaking your playing was. Would love to be your neighbor.

I admit, I was a bit doubtful when I clicked this. I didn't think a solo piano could capture the complexity and feel of the piece. I am so glad to be wrong! This is astounding! And your dynamic control is incredible, really makes it come alive!

Easily the best rendition of the song I've heard. So many other versions feel uninspired, taking either too many creative liberties or too few. This maintains the essence of the original but is well-adapted to the instrument. I hope to see more work in the future from you.

Something I truly love about the piano is the way it's impossible to play it without just giving yourself over to the emotionality of of whatever you're playing. Seeing your posture straighten as you got to *the* moment and then alternate between that and the hunch. That's Ludwig's struggle between beast and man, baby! That's music right there!

@user-in4uo7zj9w Ай бұрын

Not only is the arrangement impressive and requires a ton of skill to arrange and play, your controll over tempo and dynamics is amazing and adds so much emotions to the piece. This is the best piano cover of this piece I heared. Good job man.

It's so good! I never heard such a perfect cover performance! Cover so closely resembles the original music, that it seems to me that just a little more and I will hear the choir singing, trombones humming and violins screaming. It's just incredible! Many covers suffer from a bad rhythm, but your cover was just incredible pleasant - it seems to me that it can be superimposed on top of the original track and we won't hear a single delay. Perfect match to the rhythm, tempo and tone of the original, perfect cover!
