Rustles of Spring

[rozned]

galing talaga! Keep it up Jake..

[JakeObnial]

@rozned Thank you po teacher Dennis :) Though, obvious po talaga na kabado ako..haha!

[philliphitt]

that was very impressive! i loved it!

[JakeObnial]

@philliphitt wow..thanks! I wish I can play on a piano again..haha!

[big7bang]

the way i play it, the beginning has a more pronounced melody line in the left hand notes, aka my right hand is softer. gj though!

[JakeObnial]

@big7bang yeah, I think that should be the way to play it.. :D

[kibtong3]

how old are you?

[JakeObnial]

@kibtong3 Can you make a guess? here's a clue.. I'm below 19 there..lol!

[bbmiv]

hmmmm i believe it needs to be a little less rushed. as i am learning this piece too, i feel as if it deserves a more calm performance especially in the A section. well performed, but a bit overperformed in my opinion. still uve got a lot of potential =D

[JakeObnial]

@bbmiv Well, I can't disagree with what you said.. though being on stage made me nervous..hence, the adrenalin made me play faster :D

[TheGamersUnite]

well played , no music too :)

[JakeObnial]

thanks..I guess :D

[CAPGEMS]

i'm learning this song right now. you play so well!!! try to make you're touch a little less sharp, though. ; )

[JakeObnial]

haha! yeah..I guess I was just pretty nervous..I played this song back in 2007. I gotta practice this song from the beginning :D

[shateman]

awesome job technically, but id like to see your tempo stay more steady. at 0:50 you speed up dramatically, and it would be nice to see the difference between the sixteenth notes in the right hand throughout the beginning and the descending pattern in the left hand in the "B" section. they should be twice as slow, and theyre much faster than that. Also in the next part, the right hand rhythm is different in the right hand at 1:12 ad the next 2 times.

more interperative, but excellent job

[JakeObnial]

wow! hahaha! I guess you saw right through me just like my teacher did!..thanks for the constructive criticism :-D.. I guess being nervous made its way through my playing. I also got a couple of wrong notes! hahaha!

[shateman]

eh, wrong notes are fine.

im a performer, and i know how difficult it is do get a run of this song with no wrong notes.

so im understandable on that front...

[JakeObnial]

Every year we have this recital and I was always the finale (probably because I'm one of the oldest students)..for several years I played piano on stage but I always felt uneasy even if I had practiced beforehand

[caquitauh]

WOWOWOWOWOW! YOUR AMAZING!!!

[JakeObnial]

thanks!

[DUDEamazeME724]

your are good i am playing fantise impromptu and revulationary etude

[JakeObnial]

ohh..I wanted to play fantasie impromptu too..haha! but I don't have a piano score :D

[SuperRobotnikman]

this is amazingim praticing the pieece for a recital now...im 15 and impretty goodfor my age iguess. but how your playing is amazing like a professional. your really good

[JakeObnial]

thanks, but I think I still need some practice.. when I was fifteen I played Dream of Olwen.. and it was too dramatic..haha

[bluhdstool]

i have a steinway and this sounds exactly like when i play it if you ask how i have a steinway my saved for one for about 2 decades 30,000

[JakeObnial]

I think the piano I played on stage was a Yamaha.. but the piano I used to practice at home was a Mozart bought for 2,000 pesos 18-19 years ago.. :)

[TheOriginalKinzu]

what was that noise at 2:14 did somebody sneeze?

[JakeObnial]

nah.. somebody coughed :)

[benignphoenix]

nga pala, ako 'to si honeybunch.. bwahaha.. dulot ng ms exam kaya ganyan ang username ko, wala na kong maisip e haha

[JakeObnial]

Hahahaha!!! ako kasi di ko na mabago yung user name ko eh.. yeah.. snob ako sa stage..hehe

[benignphoenix]

well, sa totoo lang, ndi ko masyadong naintindihan.. sensya.. may naririnig akong nagsi-sneeze habang nagpe-play ka.. sayang ang ganda pa naman.. hehe.. natawa ako sa gestures mo sa huli.. ang snob mo pala.. bwahaha

[libetta]

if you learn to put in a little bit more nerve and play this faster. this can be a really great piece to attract the girls at the mall

[JakeObnial]

Hahaha.. thanks for the tip.. though, I already did that once. I played flight of the bumblebee and eternal harvest (from FF9) :)

[libetta]

where? what was the people's response?

[JakeObnial]

of course they clapped.. they don't know the mistakes I did, it was too fast that the mistakes were incomprehensible.. I did it at a party.. in malls, well.. you can't play the piano if you're not going to buy it

[libetta]

yes you can, and people are gonna buy it if they're impressed by the sound of your playing. you can play pianos at a mall lobby, but the tension there is greater than on private setting

[JakeObnial]

the malls that I've been on only let us play the keyboard and not the piano.. because most people tend to push it as they pass by, the owners lock the piano. I don't really see the difference on the stage and at the mall.. people watch you on both places anyway.. and on stage, it's quiet and there are bright lights

[libetta]

if you could get dozens of people to watch you while playing at a mall, then you've obviously got talent and flare. well, the mall, to me, is a different feeling. you get to think about people and not the piece you're playing.

[irishsoccer131]

i played this piece a few years ago, if you slow down and really work at each section slowly the mistakes will ease their way out... i know its really easy to mess up your fingers the faster you go.. just practice slowly and the rest will come to you! :)

[JakeObnial]

Yeah.. I had little time to practice and I was kinda tense while playing it.. :)

[picark]

Well if this kid can play "Rustles of Spring"

then the "sky is the limit"!!!

I've seen many so called "professional piano players" at luxury hotel piano bars,main strip nightclubs that couldn't even touch this piece.Rustles of Spring is my favorite piece, I do alright on playing it on the piccolo even though it's a piano piece.

In short if this kid keeps this up with an avid devotion,then he will go very far!

Trust me on that one. Great piece & great job

Jake. Keep it up. :>)

[JakeObnial]

thanks.. I just need more practice and a little more confidence (~~)

[halger9]

Wow, very nice.

[JakeObnial]

thanks.. I really gotta practice more to go to more difficult pieces

[asa9211993]

wahahahah XD nice galing.

[jetobnial]

wow kuya!
