IT IS VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! The original of course is no 1 with out a doubt but this is a AMAZING version. I have been a fan ever since my high school years (46 this year), wonderful to know how many people still are interested and how classic Genesis music really is - it is timeless, the band ever existed, and BTW it's not a pop group as somebody here wrote.
@duarteluder Thanks. I have certainly sent him materials and he has spoken of my work in some interviews. I am hoping he gave it a go; I'm sure he gets lots of things in the mail.
Hello, I use to play the piano for long. Firth of fifth favourite, I manage to learn it with just a little small tape machine in the beginning, 30 years ago it was a deal task for me, and helped me to become good enough at the piano. Your Version that shows a deep understanding of Firth of fifth is wonderful, very close at the beginning, and really facinating in all the rest of the song, somewhat more romantic and relaxing. Gratitude for your great work! I can still play it but it's different.
@verity9000 I think I have to buy your sheet book about genesis I played some of the songs with the first publication of the time and of course listening to the records, like one for the vine, A trick of the tail, from the undertow, Burning rope, Heathaze and some others, it was big job, but was happy to deal with things I loved, I forgot a bit because of lack practising. But I will be forever fascinated by this music, and try again in my time space. Thanks for your dedication.
Thank you all for the very kind comments! Yes, it's a Bechstein, it is not mine. It is pretty much brand new. I don't have any particular brand allegiance, but I the 9-foot I decided to buy was a Baldwin SD-10 and I loved it! Had to sell it at one point. When I move to a bigger space in the near future, it will be time to look for another one.
Methinks you're playing a Bechstein there, yes? Is it yours? I rarely get to tune Bechsteins, and the ones I see are typically pretty old and in need of some work. Very nicely done, David!
buona esecuzione però l'ultima parte mi sembra che la mano sinistra sia simile a quella della parte iniziale e invece nella parte originale ci sono degli accordi diversi...più difficili..
It's wonderfull ! could you perhaps make an unimprovised version of the whole firth of fifth ? I think you could make the best cover available ! would be lovely
Lovely, David! I like the tempo and the dynamics, the harmonies and modulation, the swing (in parts), the pauses and, as ever, the wonderful counterpoint you have woven into Tony's composition. You bring out all the voices of the piece even more clearly than a band could with its various instruments.
Thank you for posting this long version - close up! One sees clearly what a master of the music and the instrument you are. I can't wait to start practicing your arrangement of this piece!

Tony Banks must be proud of you to preform his music like
this.
This is fantastic, congratulations.
I have been a Genesis fan since 1979 and listen to all there staff.
This is the best ever

Brilliantly played. What amazes me is how good the music is for a pop group. It is semi-classical in nature.

Absolutely stunning. My goal is to play this before I die.
I'm new to piano and have a long journey ahead.
I doubt even Antony banks could play it this good.
