The heart asks pleasure first. Michael Nyman

[skiman1120]

you don't seem to play many accidentals, the same as other videos, but it sounds as though your's is in a lower key. which key are you playing in?

[casioPX500L]

have Kawai or Yamaha best keyaction? please tell me

[thepianostarful]

if you love this, you MUST watch the video of "Let There Be Light "!!... it's a song by rock noir band BELLADONNA and MICHAEL NYMAN and it's based on this music from "The Piano". Michael Nyman himself plays piano on it... search for "belladonna nyman" here on youtube and you'll find it!! :-)

[KeitoUchiha]

esa cancion es una de mis favoritas

y la tocaste muy bien

[JohnnyVa7]

Actually playing it fast is because the 5th finger in the right hand is not held. Watch carefully in the sheet and you will understand what I mean. Actually I play it like this in the video because I use the pedal but the official one is without pedal and following carefully especially the notes that need to be held

[Augusto210]

I don't know, it isn't just the tempo, there is something very strong about they way you play this. Something frustrating, in a good way =)

[FanOfBexboop878]

Dios, es precioooosa ^^

Or should I say i loved it ? :O

Keep playing guy , youre so amazing ;)

[flowinso]

Wow, that's really amazing! great job!

Maybe I will learn this piece too =)

[nono91112]

tu va beaucoup trop mais beaucoup trop vite! mais bravo quand meme, parce qu'une telle rapidité signifit une dexterité exeptionnel...

mais fais attention...

[XRIVAL360]

could you do a little tutorial?

[sulgy3]

played in a very good way, but pls slow it down. Then it will be just perfect = )

[Unvergesslichh]

Woooow

[x0legenddddx0]

your piano has a such a lovely tone what make is it?

[MuSicSoprano85]

bravo!

[jssymphony]

<3 amazing

[fishey2]

has this peice been played in a different key than it was written in?? sounds great any how :)

[boirakck]

très beau! excellent!

[maxmura75]

too fast!! but nice

[dedpishy]

wow! where can i find a music sheet of this piece? :)

[cuelgafacil]

muy bien, pero no vas un poco rapido?XD

[mademoiselleEma]

es la mejor version k he visto.....¡ tu si k sabes!

[littlebigplanet1996]

u play this better than nyman

[smilynoodle]

okay seriously how on earth?

thats really amazing and omg how do yuu move ur fingers like that, its like ur not even thinking or dont even need to look..AWESOME

[dialga9182]

im a pianist its not hard but i justcant always figure stuff out

[trombonewesman]

I am in awe!

[gtbr24]

Sounds great! It's not even fast, i don't know what everyone else is talking about...

[winksoft360]

actually, it is faster is all. but like Aramiak said. his interpretation.

[Aramiak]

All these people who say 'too fast' are assuming everyone wants to hear the original just because they prefer it at that pace...

You know what? I love it at the speed you are playing it at! And i hope people's criticisms havn't stopped you loading more vids up, cos i notice it's been 3 years now since your last.

I'll keep checking, awesome (Y)

[rogla27]

this is really good...i come to hear this often! tempo goes :D

[XXmichelleS2]

It sounds pretty good at this tempo, actually.

[ForestGunxXxGer]

The task of each is to creat the own style or interpret his style in the song you are playing.

;-) great job!

[peddaz55]

how exactly did you record that?

[Valapaca]

Nice nice, I like it a lot. Well done......

[gonzaloman312]

Hey, you are really fast... too many, i think...

Is a graet song, but, if you do it in that velocity, i don't like it...

A good song, isn't the same a fast song...

You have to ENJOY!!!

See ya!

[bigfuzzybelly]

bravo

[Bisao90]

lol, it's too fast, great interpetation, 5*

[LuisCaicedo]

too fast!!!! slow down

[kireihime88]

It may be a little too fast but it is certainly beautiful. I am a fan. Post more! <3

[Raakim322]

I'm sorry being a lover of such music i must agree with some of the previous comments,that was played too fast to be appreciated by the listener,the dynamics were off and many would agree,it's not just repeating and playing the notes already composed for u,it's using the dynamics of the song enhance the quality of the music,i loved what u did with all of me,but this wasn't right

[mastervinh94]

nah, i recon its too fast man.

try slow it down abit

i'm l.mus piano mate ;) listen to me =]

[rosalai922]

Can I hv that too? it sounds nice and touching.

[redwhiteshoes]

waaaay too fast! do not show off, do the best you CAN DO, you clearly can't play this fast! AND the song is not supposed to be played that fast!

[Benniboy93]

its just an interpretation, i prefer it slow too but meh he can play it how he likes, i dont think hes showing off

[Rinnnna]

I think it sounds great. ^^

[albarosello]

love this song, its my favourite! congrats. u play it so nice!

[ningenKami]

too fast, though the begining made my heart stop for a few moments...

[petiite]

you play it wrong and clearly alot faster than you are able to or even supposed to be played. stop trying to show off.. sorry, just avarege

[beckamabob]

can YOU play it?

[daejavoo]

That's irrelevant.

[musicpro26]

I don't mean to offend but petiite is correct. This not a very good rendition of this piece. Why so choppy? Should be more legato. Do not transpose, play in the original key.

[MuhammadDwi]

this is great!!

can you email this piece to me??

[andulka2]

the best version ive ever heard :o)

[lazyoldjack]

not bad... some people are really shit, your not one of them !!! good work A++

[nunnun93]

fantastic :)

[tooru998]

brilliant,nice! good job!

[qmusicisgoodforme]

Hey please, do you want to mail me this peace of beauty?

[shakugannoren]

Sounds really nice,

can you please tell me where I can get the notes for this?

[godivaontherocks]

I love your interpretation of this piece too. I think your speed is fine. Your vid actually inspired me to learn this piece! I played it on July 2nd for my final music concert, its still my favourite at the moment. And I think you do it justice. :) It was a difficult piece and you really bring out the accents.

[JazziRokinGirl]

im learning the 2nd hand, its soo hard!! good job your great and soo quick!

[moonstaff1234]

Could anyone tell me where I can get this sheet music or if they could send it to me? Thanks!

[metelko3]

yh i have it pdf whats your email?

[commiboi]

wow, one of best versions ive seen

[Nesaveh]

mannn...i LOVE reading pianists critiquing other pianists..i mean, to the average joe/jane/bob speed and accuracy merge in to what we would call a 'beautiful thing' whereas to the accomplished pianist(s) who obviously grow to listen/hear different things - beauty to us can be interpreted as pain to them. it's such a crackup to read.

btw: i started playing when i was 9-10 then quit then started again because of this piece. i think it saves souls tbh.

[peterhungry]

here here

[Himarisch]

stupendo stupendo stupendooooooooooooooooooooooo­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NeoMvsEu]

Umm... I suggest transposing it back to regular tuning? It bothers me when I see something and hear something else.

[juaanpa]

the speed its ok, i love your interpretation, good skill; greetings! :D

[CrackaJack66]

Both of your videos are absolutely outstanding . . . anyone who disagrees with your interpretation simply holds different views than your creativity and personality . . .this was fantastic!

[malinlinders]

incredible ! :)

[thetkdlife]

cant belive some of the comments on this beautiful piece of music. and dont you think that if he can play it faster than the original and still play the right notes that it shows amazing talent? for those who wrote bad comments- i would love to see you play as good as this fine pianist!

[Tissuebox135]

i play it differently, but i greatly admire your skill <3

[PoisonIV]

I'm having trouble playing this piece and to see you play it is amazing! You did a great job!

[romangeneral55]

i cant believe all these people telling this guy how to play this piece- dont they realise how outstanding he actually is? he is an awsome piano player- playing the piano is not easy its really really hard, some people (like me) could practise and practise and practise,if I spent every waking hour at the piano I would never play it like this.

[doublecrap314]

this crappy peice of shit instrument can suck my ass

[diLuca77]

i like it more this faster way...gives a dramatic touch...furioso!

[josetemadridd]

Really nice how you play it... but you go too fast and you dont give it the right sense... so its too lineal... you need to show more feeling... havbe a look to the p pp f ff.

[Swoot17]

You play well but try to slow down, the music is half as fast as this, listen to the song form the movie and see how fast that is. In some parts you play the correct speeds but at the beginning you seem to jump into the music and although it obviously flows going that fast leaves little time to appreciate how good you are.

[sk122]

very touching.5 stars

[Iamfromsweden007]

i like the tempo =). Not too fast!

[leylMZZ]

I lovet this, Im playing this piece myself, its not hte easiest one:P you play it beautifully.

[neighboursfan26]

wow! this is the best version i hav seen on youtube!! well done!! Its when i watch other people play it that i realsie how small my hands are!!

xxx

[vos474747]

not too bad, this may be a crime against music at the end of the sheet music for this it details a theme repeat in quintuplets which I can never be bothered to time right, so I just do a repeat and hope no-one notices...

[johnnyjjc]

ummm ... you need to sort out your rhythm as both voices are not syncronised or of even length. also, the inner voice needs to be played as a "dolce" and not allowed to become too loud at times. and try not to accelerando, unless you can make it convincing

[tictacpretz]

esse ritmo me dá uma aflição...

[mojjafjojj]

why hesitate that much..its far to fast i think. its not fast all the time

[jezmery1]

why is your piano a semitone flat?

[LotzyLiz]

i can do a page and a half of this badly compared to you. although i do think you are going a bit fast and the transpose is a bit off but then i again i can't change the key on ma vertical grand lol!

[BlueLeafx]

Your fingers must hurt after playing that so fast =| Otherwise good!

[Amudaya]

F A N T A S T I C *****!

[tophatsparrow]

BEAUTIFUL!! Best version I've seen on YouTube so far!

[AnimeDudess]

I wish my piano sounded like that.

[alessandre69]

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELlllllllllllll GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!

[xUnseenWolf]

VERY GOOD !!! I am also practicing this piece.Maybe you played it a little too fast.Just a little. But excellent dude! I love 0:33 when it goes so low on the keyboard.

[meltlet]

For a keyboard, that was pretty good! too fast though :P

[xaxixa1]

It 's fantastic!congratulations!!

[blankityblank1]

You play this beautifully and I was just wondering where you got this sheet music from? Thanks =)

[silverloc123]

WOW!!! Fantastic! That's my fave piano movie soundtrack of all :) thxxx for showing ;)

[x3Nany]

M A N I F I Q U E!!!!c'est vrai que c'est rapide mais sa donne très bien!Bravo

[takkocary]

thats great!! that piece isnt easy to play and i dont think youre too fast...maybe a little bit but the song is very fast

[cici12222222222222]

this is amazing! You did a great job. I don't know the peice, so lots of people are saying it's too fast. But, anyways, you did great! Good job! I play the piano, and I made up some songs, and I'm going to put it on youtube once my video camera starts working. Please check it out!

[lilianadf]

Demasiado deprisa.

¡¡¡Respeta los tiempos a cagas la canción!!!

[ayata0]

Nice But little too Fast

[chamalowsarah]

ouaaaaaaa !!! je reste sans voix !!

[Montyleeny14]

Its very fast, can't you play it at the original tempo? I'll give you 5 star if you do that, for this I'll give you 2 star ^_^

[goodcmmt]

Wut the heck is ur problemo!!!

This person did great!!!

U should give this person 5 NO MATTER WUT!!!!

[MikaelH1]

To FAAAAAST!

Try to not show of at playing songs to fast, it's killing the art of music. Play the song as it shuld be! Now u just do it wrong, totaly wrong!

[iloveghelyun]

i think he belongs to the Glen Gould school of thinking.... the faster the better. lol but i agree with you, the notes aren't even at all... someone needs a metrenome

[xaxixa1]

it is very good although i believe that it should be more slow and in little higher tone

[PikaCook]

Playing fast never show you're a great pianist... If you can feel the message through the notes and makes it clear by the melody, then you get your goal!

Bit slower plz..!

[ch0ny]

Va muy follao

[DaraEvensong]

that was amazing

i personally think it shud be just a tad slower

but this is by far the best i have heard it played

[giteart]

slower* tempo

[giteart]

you are good, but it sounds better at lower tempo

[luismiravalles]

Great !, Very Expressive. Thanks

[Cheesetubes]

Well played, but sounded in the wrong key to me?

[lorek87]

i agree...you could use also more expressive effects...

[hitogorushi]

Were you listening to a metronome? XD If you are thats what i do too... amazing playing =]

[terouterou]

Great!

[leigh9993]

Too fast..

[cheebits]

i agree

[etoile0en0ciel]

Michael Nyman is an amazing composer! Good playing too, yet it feels like it should be less rubato and more rigidly timed. And also, I don't know if it was a slight slip-up in the recording, but there needs to be a G# in the few bar at 0:54. I'm sure you noticed that though lol.

Also, the complicated quintuplet section at the end of the written music is worth a look at.

[Megan331122]

You should play it a little less fast.

[Tinytorix]

I love this piece.. I have the first page but no more*Sad*

If possible could you send me the sheet music...

It would be more then amazing:D

[GiadaGR]

ottio... ehi ehi calma... sentimento, anima, questo pezzo è fatto anche di quello e poi ci sono accenti sbagliati... credimi è in 12/8... ed è più lento... che lo rende più espressivo...poi credo che c'è bisogno di far sentire di più la prima voce e abbassare quelle della mano sinistra... altrimenti la melodia non esce... poi finisce con il LA

[horserider418]

you did good, this is a really hard song, but you do a bit fast

[nuclearpavlova]

Gorgeous, excellent pace. How long did it take you to learn it? I can manage it at a slower pace but can't work up to the actual speed yet because I am at uni without a piano :(

[Mumbo137]

why does it sound lower?

[ez789]

i don't know but it looks like minor... it's kinda weird

[Mumbo137]

well if you follow the link to the video of this for the movie you can hear that it is higher. i don't get why this version sounds low cause i can see its being played in the right place.

[etoile0en0ciel]

It's do with the brightness of the settings, I think

[IITravisII]

you did a brilliant job =) i only know the first part.. but man this is awesome ^^

[supermichal3]

RISPEKT MAN;-) BEST

[ver0h15]

PFFF GENIALLL!!

[lorialph]

hey dude, thanks a lot, the video is being so useful, i understood much of it, but there are still some part that i dont understand, would u mind recording a slower one, for me to catch each note, please????? thanks a lot anyway

[orgye]

Awesome, Dude...

[keryn789]

excellent job mate

[9InchPianist]

Changed my mind, it was a teeny bit fast, still V.Good though!!

[9InchPianist]

Well played. It's taking me ages to get to grips with this peice.

I don't think it was too fast, it just needed to be a bit more legato so that it flowed freely, still, you've come much further than I have with this peice - Well done!

[KoekaZ]

Awesome performance ^^

[OcioYNegocio]

Well played but that was a little fast :)

[TheGoldWatch]

In a hurry?

[allystar1011]

yeah i agree... slow down a little it feels as though your rushing to reach the last note of the chord ...

[gerardz82]

Beautiful. I like this piece too. Thanks.

[KoekaZ]

It is perfect, at the right speed and you do put feeling in it as far as i can see.. ^^ 10 out of 10!!

[shanehodd]

I wish people would relate to it as a piece of music not a song. A song has lyrics. But I agree with some of the comments. Otherwise its a respectable performance

[UniversalSerialBus20]

You play too fast and dun have any feeling. Anyway such an awesome song.

[deledicque]

u cheated:p

[Animegirl107]

wow. that's all I can say. wow...

[turkification]

soooo goooood!!

[lilacbird]

wow! i can play this song, too, but not as fast as that! well, not the middle part, any way.

[Carmabelle17]

I like this song, but I don't like very much hearing this!

You put a lot of velocity in some parts, and in others you almost stop!

It isn't very legatto!

It isn't too fast, but it's not very clear!

Good though :D

[michelecant]

If it isn't legatto, it's probably letoppo

[folopo2]

love your style, you play much better than I do

:)

just a comment from a music lover: try to play it more "fluently". It doesen't matter the speed that much, as long as you "connect" the faster part a little bit better.

no ofense, please... :)

5 stars

[yutubess]

thats amazing

i dont think ur too rushed...i think you're fine...not fine, you're really really good! i need to learn it. i'll hav to start by ear first though =)

[Eggs4Eva]

good but 2 fast says i

[purbancik]

Very good. But agree with the opinion it is played a little bit too quickly.

[turkification]

well done.

[benislovely]

Really great! The greatest song ever written.

A bit fast/rushed though.

[nickvids4u]

That;s an excellent rendition. Bette rthan Holy Hunter too

[lilacbird]

wow! i can play this song too, but not as good as you

[vrv1020]

Truly amazing job!

I'M DESPERATE TO GET MY HANDS ON THE SHEET MUSIC for this. (but I don't want the rest of the soundtrack), Consequently, if someone could SEND ME A YOUTUBE MESSAGE (w/e you call them) IF YOU HAVE IT and I'll give you my e-mail so you can send it to me. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

[PianoHood]

I've been playing this for years and think yours was more true to the original in tempo and interpretation than any of the others I listened to on this site and I joined just to tell you that. I've read the other comments and have these in response - flat? it's a keyboard - it's sounds different than a piano - get over it - fast? - listen to the soundtrack - it's faster geniuses - more passion? - have you tried to be passionate on a keyboard?? Kindof an oxymoron, morons. EXCELLENT JOB MAESTRO.

[Catris19]

So beautiful... Bravo!

[Boudinee]

Wooow

[vgbasil]

Two small errors but well worthy the five stars.

[alexaxxem]

my shit that was good... any way you could get me to play like that

[Jeandurcis]

Splendid

[leviatan1001]

the most beautiful piano song ever made

[Pianist16]

wicked

[Abrikozentaart]

very coowl ! Wow !

[Skull951]

the best , YOU ARE AMAZING MAN .... I LOVE THIS :) this song is veryyyyy good .. i love it...

[RareHz]

Man you gota love U2

[AdondeVayas]

amazing! i wish i could play it as you do...

[johanellstrom]

I'm gonna learn to play the piano..

[medepona]

A little too fast, but a VERY good job :)

[nelees]

OMG! Great job! :)))

[cho88]

you must have more then 10 fingers !!

I hate the movie but omg I so love that song!

And you plays it really awsomely!!

[folimero]

you play great but u need to work a little more in ur foot =P its to much echo. but u play great =)

[biilzyboi]

this sounds sooo awesome how you play it, quick hands!! =]

[l0000y]

wow i wish i could play like that!!!

[LaughtasticX]

technically good, but as others have reminded you...you're playing it too quickly! i guarantee that the sheet music doesnt have it that fast. Passion over technicality.
