Final Fantasy X Piano Collections - To Zanarkand

[Brockbfball1563]

I'll never forget the first time I heard Tidus say "Listen to my story... This may be our last chance." I knew this game was going to be something special.

[NinaRainful]

How beautiful!!

[lethalvirus9000]

just a word...AMAZING!

[TlMpossible]

hey! its been a while, but.

what changes did you make to the climax part? to make it sound like the CD version

[CheonHoPark]

@TlMpossible Hi, you actually go up another octave with the rolling 16th notes. In the sheet music written, the notes are actually cut off short.

[TlMpossible]

@CheonHoPark how does the timing work then? for the right hand

[CheonHoPark]

@TlMpossible The time is in 3/4 time so you count the notes with for every beat three times per measure. Wherever the notes line up with the right and left that is when you should play the right hand notes.

[TlMpossible]

hey, you're right about the climax part

when i learnt this song i wondered why it doesnt sound similar to the piano collections one LOL

thanks for pointing it out :)

[CheonHoPark]

@TlMpossible Hi thanks, yes, they are different. This one is more complicated, but I think the OST version has more prettier sound/arrangement. But I played this one since it was for higher level.

[keetner]

For some strange reason, when I saw the candles+lava lamp I thought of Rice Krispy squares...!?

[CheonHoPark]

@keetner LOL, noice!

[nezkeys79]

this and other songs in FFX are beautiful. If this song fails to move you then you are either dead or an evil person. Personally the song which makes me cry the most is the one during yunas speech

[hellbri]

i am learning this song atm got start good and working on rest :)

[CheonHoPark]

Hi thanks.

Overall, the piece isn't too hard, but the hard part will get you, but over time, you will get it.

Good luck with practicing, and I wish you all the best.

[Gameone93]

wow dude, that's awesome. you've hit every tone. And you seem cool !!!

[CheonHoPark]

Haha, thanks =p

Have a good one,

CheonHoPark

[valentine1991]

dude, you re playing it so ... softly... it sounds great!.. it s so beautiful that i have to cry... i m serious... it s awesome man *cry*

[CheonHoPark]

Thanks =] Although I think the piece sounds soo much better on a grand (as you can see in my second video attachment from the right), this is probably the best I could get with this upright.

Thanks again!

CheonHoPark

[wotakunow]

The Lava lamp really makes it romantic :3

I just love this piece tho, its really pretty. i've been trying to teach myself, but ive never taken piano leassons and its a little outta my league... but I'll keep working!!! XD

[TVGU1991]

I like this version most.

[zeldafreak4life]

[kickthejamz]

[Petardie]

why does zeldafreak4life get negative thumbs? he does got a point

[kickthejamz]

[entiers]

Your version simply is THE best for me... Beautiful playing, so emotional... and the ambiance, the Eden garden... :$

[diKsuomynonA]

I've been trying and trying to find this version of the song ever since I mistakingly gave my sheetmusic of it away....I thought he just wanted to borrow it, but he never gave it back. :(

[chinkypinky4U]

i have the sheet music if you would like(:

[diKsuomynonA]

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!! :)

[xbaybeb0o]

[teacup6107]

[CrusterTime500]

Wow! I want to learn this on the guitar!

[randythecow]

[ShakemasterQ]

Great job!

I always have trouble when I get to the part at 2:34

[K1TTYC4T8D]

lol everything is a candle besides that lava lamp

[DerLetzteSchmied]

that´s amazing .........

[lilflamegurl]

When I first saw/heard To Zanarkand, I thought it was ZanarkLAND too, haha. And then I was like "Wait. What? It's Zanarkand? WTF."

Anyways. Beautiful playing, like always. The candles were awesome. Especially the lava lamp.

[darkdaylight]

simply awsomeness

[jackiiiex3]

I still thought that was awesome :]

[st3v33wunda]

the song's awesome, i gotta admit there's some serious skill goin on

.......

but for ur info part, you could chill out on the attitude, not everyone hates what you did :)

[dondons1987]

its romantic enough for me ^-^

[ShessOounuSual]

ur the only one ive seen that can actually play that hard part... awesome .. props

[Lastsarang]

2:34 owns

[getaway598]

[AshleyHex]

I really like the sound of your piano and terrific piano playing.

[pavel111111111]

awsome man love it best ever

[Chacarron2006]

You forgot a candle up your ass

[CheonHoPark]

Haha, agreed.

[HatNonaka]

Ay no seas MA-MÓN!!!!!!!!!!!!

jajajajajaa

[twilightroseforest]

Nice backround.

[chibichibichanchan]

lol... the lava lamp xD

[elpianisto26]

this version is better than your second version. but both are better than the other videos on youtube!! i like this video more, because i think the song should be played slowly, but every people feel it in there own way( right english?:D)

[Frostprincess777]

Yo dude, you're awesome, yah im learning how to play this song, its sweet and i love FFX!!!! =]

[blueredfred2]

i can remember the first time i heard this song, and i just knew that the game was gonna bring tears to my eyes

[mikedfelix]

how many years u been playing piano??how old are u?

[mianaruto]

nice play n atmosphere u made there. :)

i like it.

[praiku1]

i like it but the bit at the begining is a little slow, i know you intended that but....its not the the same.

[SKIKKOLA]

aH ora Ho capito xke quel commento...per Sandraportami al Mare...

Ma sai ke ti diko??????

Nella Vita c Vuole un po di Humor evidentemente sarai una di quelle persone Tristi e sconsolate Poveraccio...

Goditi la tua musika al Piano

[MrAlmo]

Very beautiful, I really think this is better than your second version, because as your speed improves, I personally think, in this song, it is less emotional... I think this speed is perfect, the only downside with this interpretation, I think, is the speed at the "hard part", a bit to slow on left hand. My opinion. Greatful for the tutorial on the "hard part", because I've struggeled a bit with it myself, I've only played for 10 months though x)

[xkeyblademasterx07]

nice playing, i love this song

it brings back so many memories, it is so beautiful

99999999/5

[RinoaHikari]

(^-^)Good work(^-^)

[666psychoneurosis666]

candle, candle, candle, candle, candle, candle, LAVALAMP!!! :D:D Fab!! Well done! YAY!

[bbypeanut]

awesome

[SyvSto]

Lava lamp for the win.

[MikeyHeidelbach]

Amazing..

[BlackMarketDude]

dude dat was awesome...nicely done mate.

[xACEGTx]

this song is sooo neat...=) =) =)

[MJin03]

The candles are a bit random but i guess it did do what you wanted, which was to make this video stand out.

[endlesspain1]

wow... this was the best version i've heard online. ever.

[PokemonChu]

holy crap that thing was so long on the side of the page o_o

but great job :D

[zippy1006]

hell yes!! that is the best song!!!

[Check4040]

Beautiful Song... Impressive!!!

How can i get the sheet??

[tielo90]

dude i fuking love this song im still in the process of learning it but thats good shit howd u played it i gots to give u props cause thats alrighty

[MissChubiMuffins]

hehe the lights are a bit creepy. =] But I really enjoyed the music!

[btran92]

haha what you said is so true

[mlavik1]

Very good!

This is a piece that people play in many different ways (speed, paues, soft notes). I don't like all the videos I've found, but this is great!=) I love the way you play it:)

Those lights were a good idea by the way=)Made a nice atmosphere

[reddrake4]

well done, i think it was playd well n beautifully but i dont wana sound like an ass but there wer a few parts that sound sharp 2 me, other than that i lovd it =)

[wrw28405]

Out of that whole song, Icould only count one mistake, and it was nearly impossible to spot. Bravo, Cheon, Bravo! I'm learning this piece right now, and I'm stuck on the beginning of the fourth page. You know, where you're going up and down really quickly in the left hand. My teacher is being a great help, but I'm still having a little trouble. Any advice?

[CheonHoPark]

Hi, yes that was the most trickiest part... sometimes if things don't work well, it's best to judge the music by ear. and play with that. Once you got the feeling down count the beat along with the rhythm.

[wrw28405]

Alright, thanks!

[Dark1Sky]

Music - Oh my god. You played that fantasticly and your spin on it made it even more powerful.

Note - Hahaha! I love how the entire piano is covered in candles except for the one lava lamp.

[CheonHoPark]

Thank you very much. haha yeah I get that a lot. But unfortunately the candles did not give off enough lighting so I had to use that tacky lava lamp xD

[chrisARK95]

i feel like im plsying the game, that was great

[ciaocivediamodomani]

dude awesome!

[MYuee]

this was just incredible! I've never seen someone playing this song that...great.

hm. It doesn't matter that you're playing it slower,...I think it makes it more...magical.

never give up playing!^^

[CheonHoPark]

Thank you =)

[Zassouky]

This is just awesome, there is no word. I could hear it everytime. Thank you. I can't say anything, this is just beautiful.

[tonyle111]

When you started to play, it gave me chills at how great it sounded.

Thanks for the time and effort you put into this great piano piece.

[strikercobra]

Big up to you cheon!!I love that theme!!!

[Flimp]

That lava lamp = wannabe candle?

=D

Excellent work on any note. Sounds great.

[SlightlyWeird]

Holy shit, one girl played this in our graduating ceremony today... It was awful. This is WAY better.

[razer833]

no one plays this song the exact same, each and every one has there own way of expressing them selfs when they play a song like this on a piano, i can tell by the way your version sounds that you really got involed with the music and played ti from your heart, it was a wondefull pice..

[BrianBNN]

love this song, just to let you know ever time i want to let people hear this song i go straight to you. never give up the piano ^^

[CheonHoPark]

I highly appreciate your encouragement and support. Thank you.

[DeathMucc]

superbe, beautiful, yes romantic ^^

[Kirschbluete01]

GOOD O.O

love ff

[sonosvitato]

great...:D

[barvykennedy]

hola soy de mexico y me gustaria que me pasaras las notas de esta melodia para tocarlas en flauta , gracias esta super.

[CheonHoPark]

genial, pero te necessito e-mail.

Lo siento mi espanol no es muy bien.

[ohrflieger]

nice candles ;)

[Aseef1]

i will have to admit this the best to zanarkand i heard for a looooong time gr8 job better then the game version by far

[CheonHoPark]

Thank you very much. Some people tend to judge my skills based on the piano's sound which is greatly discerning. Because of the piano's lack of proper tone it tends to lose an audience's interests. All music is played better on a grand, but I only can play what I can use =D

[Cloud3002]

OMG! You're incredible O.O made me love this melody!

[KajangMan]

OO BEAUTHEFULL..

I wish i can playlike u..

[philam64]

great job! is this the OST version?

[CheonHoPark]

Haha thank you very much I am glad you like it =)

[supahfine88]

You by far have the best recorded version of the song compared to the others; the sound quality is perfect and your style is the best...

[CheonHoPark]

Kudos to my camera... although I do think much can be granted if I had a grand. Thank you very much!

[Clearie552]

its sounds so calming and nostalgic, like the original, but maybe even a little better.. oh and i like the echo effect of the room or pedal or whatever..

[XaldBalghostriped]

OH MY GOD!!! your an artist!!! WE STAF BEEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD DESIGNER AND ARTIST AND SOME1 WHO CAn HELP in COMPOSING FOR this project O_O

[CheonHoPark]

Haha most of the stuff I am still learning =D Are you guys thinking of making a game?

[XaldBalghostriped]

yes but we only use RPG Maker VX and XP not the oldest version

[CheonHoPark]

I never heard of those programs, are they difficult to use?

[XaldBalghostriped]

nope it's for computer and it's free to download

[trivuong]

[force130288]

NICCCCCEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......­........

[Godsjudgement12]

[secrecy]

i dont know how to say this any other way dude YOU ROCK! i love the pauses you inserted, it brought me to tears

[zartonis]

Outstanding. You are a truly gifted musician.

[JDMHunter]

lol for once in my life i want to actually learn how to play the piano to play this song! thing is though, i don't have enough room in my house to have one :( cant i just go to Google and type in the To Zanarkand music sheet, and just like print it?

[CheonHoPark]

Haha nope, Then the guys who put the effort to arrange and print the music wouldn't make any profit, but there are other ways around the legal system like ffshrine or mirc, you can also buy them at gamemusic dot com

[oldhornyman]

It's easy to find, just do what you said and you'll find it! Try Game Music Themes dot com

[skilledfor]

Oh my! You are so talented!

Can I have your phonenumber? :D

[MetalGearSolidRaiden]

That´s awesome...

I really love it.

[lgale1988]

where can you get the sheet music for this

[nugety]

google "To Zanarkand (Collections)" It should be on some site called, ffshrine

[strifemaster]

Nice performance!

[0890dkgj]

i love it, great job, is there a way to learn this piece?

[CheonHoPark]

Yes, do you mean by sheet music or practice? Thanks for the comment =D

[0890dkgj]

the music piece, i would like to learn it.

[henskuliini]

i think you did great! i love final fantasy and this music. i can't stop listening this! thanks :)

[RyanPiel]

Very Good, very soothing, keep up the good work man.

[darksoraXD]

awesome

nice job

[nekoflye]

Wow! You are really good. But, is it just me or does the pause sound just a little bit too long at 2:44-2:49?

[tomhayward99]

Its for effect :P

[painlessdeath105]

what's with the candels and lights on the piano?don't get me wrong,it's cool to do that.I had stop playng piano for a long time already,maybe I have lose the sense.

[CheonHoPark]

Oic, well I guess at least you shared your musical passions with your daughter, I am sure she will be great someday with a passionate parent as you are. Piano isn't for everyone, If it wasn't for Final Fantasy I would have never gotten myself to play again... That classical pizazzy stuff although is extremely advanced, I just see it as technical work, I love music with strong melodies especially those off games or animes even if they are easier.

[painlessdeath105]

it sucks.what with moving there and here stuff.even my little sis(4years old) played better than that

[CheonHoPark]

Awesome, I'd like to here her sometimes man. Like I say piano is just a hobby just because hearing meaningless nonstructural comments from people like you go over my head. My advice for you, if you are musician. Be careful what you say, if you have a valid musicianship knowledge it would be more valuable than just saying it "sucks." Your opinion is respectable, but pretty much your opinion "sucks." =P

[CheonHoPark]

Hmm to go deeper into the subject, remember the piano does affect the sound, a beautiful and rather soulful piece like this one depends on what it is being played on. An upright simply can't handle the ring and touch as the one found on the CD, however with what I had, that sound is what was produced.

[CheonHoPark]

Also since your four year old can play better than me, that's great I hope she finds her passion, there exists differences between work effort and talent, it just matters on how you use it. What truly matters is that you have dedication and passion for what ever subject you choose. I hope you learn a very life valuable lesson with what I say, rather then trying to make enemies, useless comments will never stop me from trying nor stop to keep on playing.

[CheonHoPark]

To dwell even further I have recently come across a very inspirational quote from the infamous Mark Twain:

"Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great!"

I'd like to see that painless...you muppet. Dont down him...hes good at what heï»
