Thanks! Hours? Let’s say weeks 😅

like 3 hours

Its called the dance of eternity for a reason

Really? Hours? Bro if i start learning this it will take me 1 year to even learn until the solo :D

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist Months!!

😂 thank you!!!

I'd give anything to see them react to this.

@@king-manu2758 me too 😂

I love when I see comments like yours, it means you understand the hard work behind this video 🙏🏽 my arrangements start always from the aim of trying to translate the original sound and atmosphere into a high level piano language, like in the 19th century many great pianists did, starting from the orchestral music. Metal bands are my orchestras, in this case!

Thank you very much! It is part of my Chamber Metal Project, which I hope to bring on a live stage soon! 😎

Holy shit it’s the flaming piano

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist A whole year late, but just wanted to say that I'd legit pay to watch you play live. This was perfectly arranged and played, it's insane.

@@MechMonstrosity thank you so much! You can follow me on ig for news about my live shows. Most of my shows are in Italy and Europe, but I had some small tours in the US and Asia as well.

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist That sounds amazing, I'll be there next time you're in the UK! Keep it up my guy, you're phenomenal

Thank you so much! Messages like yours encourage me more and more in realizing my forecoming Chamber Metal Project, in which I’ll play piano solo transcriptions like this one, and piano and electric guitar both metal and classical transcriptions!

Thank you for your message! I really appreciate you recognized classical music elements. Indeed, in my “Chamber Metal Project” (which includes this piece, other piano solo transcriptions and others for piano&electric guitar, for now) I want to create a bridge between classical and metal, showing they are very close to each other, despite every sort of people’s prejudice! Of course no problem if you want to quote my version! :D

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist That's so cool man!! I'm following you. Keep up updated in your project! It will be awesome

Soon, I promise! 🙏🏽

Thanks! It’s part of my Chamber Metal Project, so you will see more for sure 😎

Thank you so much! It is part of my Chamber Metal Project, in which I want to build up a bridge between classical and metal, through my piano solo transcriptions or duet piano & electric guitar (I uploaded two videos of this duet). Hoping to make this project debut live soon!

Thank you! Even if it’s 2022, I still believe in the potential of this instrument, and I’m trying to show it!

Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Indeed! Thank you!

😂😂😂 grazie!!!

Thank you so much! It’s a very pleasure for me to read these comments that understood the work behind. This is my philosophy in transcribing from rock/metal, trying to keep the atmosphere of the original, not only melody and simple bass 😅 I want to give due merit to those genres, even at the eyes of who are not into them.

Thanks!!!☺️☺️☺️

Thank you! Yes, it is difficult, but quite affordable for professional “classical trained” pianists 😉

😎 maybe that first chord will come one day when I’ll write the complete album piano solo version 👀

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Thank you!!😃😃😃

Thanks man! 🙏🏻 Share, then 😂

Grazie mille! 🙏🏽

😂😂😂 thank you! Luckily I have received many comments from people aware of the work behind this video (as well as my other arrangements from metal songs). I hope to debut live with my Chamber Metal Project asap! Basically, I do the same as the virtuoso pianists of 19th-early 20th century, when they started from orchestral works and translated into a piano language trying to recreate the same power, the same atmosphere. But in this case metal bands are my orchestras 🤟🏽

Thanks 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Grazie mille!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much! This is part of my Chamber Metal Project, in which I want to build up a bridge between classical and metal through my transcriptions from metal pieces, both for piano solo and piano & electric guitar duet! I’m looking for good occasions to make a live debut with this project 🤞🏽

Thank you so much 🙏🏽

Thanks man!

Thanks 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks 🙏🏽

Thank youuu 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

You're welcome

Thank you! You completely got my intention. Percussions here are essential, equal to guitars. Like many pianists of 19th century did starting from orchestral works, trying to give the same vibes of the original, I want to do the same with metal, where the band is my orchestra. Sometimes discovering new things I can do with piano!

Grazie!🙏🏽

And I thank you for noticing the work and the effort I put in making this piano solo version 🙏🏽 I wanted to get close enough to the original effect, like I always do in my piano transcriptions. Not simply the melody and the bass (like most of piano covers), but every detail I consider important for the “orchestral” effect.

Thank you! You really got the point, I wanted to recreate the same power and expressive details of the original but with a pianistic language! 🙏🏽 Exactly like pianists of 19th-20th century did transcribing from orchestral works

Thank you so much! It’s part of my Chamber Metal Project, in which I want to build up a bridge between classical and metal, through my piano solo transcriptions and for piano & electric guitar duet. I hope we can debut live asap!

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist THANKS SO MUCH !!

Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Grazie 🥰

Thanks ☺️

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist thanks for the reply sir🙏🙏🙏

Thank you very much! Of course in trying to translate the original on piano I had to do some choices. I tried different ways of using pedal in the beginning (as in other parts), but in the end this was the solution that convinced me more.

Grazie mille! Sì, l’obiettivo era proprio quello di “tradurre” al pianoforte tutti i dettagli espressivi fondamentali, un po’ come facevano i grandi virtuosi tra ‘800 e ‘900 che partivano da pezzi orchestrali o dalle opere trasponendo per pianoforte ma mantenendo l’identità dell’originale (vedi le trascrizioni pianistiche di Liszt di tutte le sinfonie di Beethoven! Lavoro immenso!). Io parto invece dalla band metal 😂

Vedo, vedo. C'è di buono che la presenza di Jordan Rudess aiuta, la cui formazione pianistica si riflette negli arrangiamenti, ma rendere giustizia alle parti più pesanti con il pianoforte non credo sia facile; deve richiedere una buona conoscenza delle qualità e limiti dello strumento, senza cui non sarebbe possibile costruire un'interpretazione convincente. Complimenti ancora.

@@BeastOfSoda grazie mille! 🙏🏽

Grazie del messaggio, Marco! Sulle doti di cui parli non saprei, so solo che il Chamber Metal Project (di cui anche questo pezzo fa parte) è qualcosa che ho ideato fin dal liceo, e la mia passione e motivazione è rimasta quella di allora, ma con in più tanta esperienza sul pianoforte, ottenuta a forza di studio, fatica, delusioni e successive teste rialzate. Ho sempre creduto che metal e classica fossero generi molto affini, e porterò avanti la mia idea presto (spero) anche dal vivo, con alcune delle trascrizioni che ho già pubblicato più altre per pianoforte e chitarra elettrica, alcune pubblicate e altre no 😎

Thank you 😀

I’m very glad to read all this! My aim was exactly to “translate” everything in piano language, like Liszt did on Beethoven’s symphonies, and many other great pianists did on orchestral works. I’m doing it on metal masterpieces 😂 thank you!!!

Thank you so much! Many years ago I promised myself to make a piano cover of the whole album. Don’t know when, but I will do it 😂

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist God, do you hate yourself?😂

@@Walter-pb4en ahahahah maybe! But I would love to have all this music in my hands, showing that it could be thought as an “orchestral piece” as well as classical music pieces. My Chamber Metal Project, indeed, wants to build up a bridge between classical and metal. I’ve always thought they’re strictly connected, despite appearances

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist You've showed, they are! Looking forward to hear more from you💯

Grazie mille! 🥰

Thank you so much! It’s part of my Chamber Metal Project, in which I’ll play piano solo transcriptions like this one, and piano and electric guitar both metal and classical transcriptions! I’m looking for good occasions to bring it live! 😎

Thanks 🙏🏽

Thank you man, I really appreciate when people notice the hard work behind my piano transcriptions, even considering it’s a completely homemade recording. I hope to debut live with my Chamber Metal Project in 2024!

Thanks Blerolla! 🤪

Grazie!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you so much! Jordan follows me on IG and watched the excerpt I posted there, don’t know if he also watched the complete video here. In the future I would like to create a complete piano solo transcription of the whole Scenes from a memory, I’ve just to find the time 😂

Grazie! Proprio così, ho sentito l’esigenza di proporre la versione completa, e cercato di riprodurre la pienezza del suono del loro organico

@@AlessandroMarinoPianist hai fatto bene, era proprio quel che ci voleva. Una trasposizione completa e ben amalgamata di tutte le parti, riversata sul pianoforte.E quando é possibile farlo é perché comunque la composizione è stata concepita in modo corale. Aspetto con ansia altre tue trasposizioni. Mi sono appena iscritto e ti ho appena scoperto, mi faccio un giro sul tuo canale.

Thanks man!🙏🏽
