Sinding - Rustle of Spring

[DeltadawnEmm]

I am not a musician, I just appreciate good music.

This piece is wonderful - sends shivers down my spine.

The best I have heard.

[twangel46]

I am a no grader and used to play it.

Its lovely to hear it again,

[fearlesspiggy]

This is such an epic piece. One of my faves. And super fun to play too. Good job!!

[hotsickle]

Excellent!

[Kkianco]

sorry if i upset you, the playing is great, its the piano that let things down

[Kkianco]

its a sham the piano was not tuned before you recorded it, and get the pedal fixed it sweeks

[kouriskiii]

yup 100%

8th grade

[chinse1056]

i'm learning it and i do it for fun but it so hard for a 7th grader D:

[blondiebabyy1224]

uhm. idk what these people are talking about, but the left hand is fine. i can hear it perfectly. great job!

[kouriskiii]

left hand should be louder.

but its still good.

[MuzikJunkyAES]

I'll take Killarmy's version, "Wu-Renegades." Peace.

[tomgibo]

I found this through  Killarmy,

both are good in different ways

[MerkabaStar]

haha..me too!

[TheRockinpianist]

Actually i prefer your version to the professional pianist i heard play on you tube. :P Bravisimo!!

[TheRockinpianist]

Awesome. Im going to try it XD does anyone kknow roughly what grade it is??

[kouriskiii]

grade 8

playing it atm

uber hard.

[TheRockinpianist]

Are you sure its grade 8?? I have the sheet music and it dosnt look......grade 8 standard, but i guess your right.

[pierre2412]

yea, it's great 8 lol. I have it in my grade 8 exam book.

[1023george]

@TheRockinpianist I havent seen it on the grade 8 syllabus but it is on the ATCL diploma syllabus (equivalent of grade 9)

[TheRockinpianist]

@1023george Ok im confused, I didnt know there was such thing as grade 9......I take the ABRSM exams.....is the ABRSM exam grade 8 equivalent to the diploma grade 9??

[1023george]

@TheRockinpianist No, there are 3 main dimplomas that you can do. Firstly, increasing in order of level, there is the ATCL diploma which I am doing, then the LTCL, then the FTCL, and these are all higher than grade 8, but some people say that the ATCL diploma is an equivalent to what would be 'grade 9' and so on. I was saying that although it might be in the grade 8 exam book, I haven't seen it in the grade 8 exam book, but i have seen it on the ATCL diploma syllabus.

[TheRockinpianist]

@1023george Ah thank you, I have never heard of any of that before. I shall look into that :) Sounds good. Thank you. And good luck with your music :)

[Barndog44]

That is a very laudable performance. Thanks.

[jacenth14]

.yea nice tempo.but make the left hand louder and play with light fingers because the notes cant be understood the melody is in the left not in right but youre making the right hand its melody thats why it didnt sound good

[TheRockinpianist]

Hey your right but it DID sound good!!

[superslybeaver]

That was very good, but there are some parts where it just sounds like too many notes are being held out and you can't hear the individual notes being played, like at 1:00. But overall, awesome job!

[pangitbaboy]

ah history for me wonderful memories dont really mind about the quality the music stands out forever

[shateman]

noooot too slow.

at all.

you cant judge tempo. well you can, but its not right or wrong.

this song is about spring.

spring isnt wicked fast like.

i like this tempo.

[Randomllama180]

sehr toll! :)

[emiliehayden]

awesome. i wish i could play it this well!!

[chinse1056]

very nice! u hav great dynamics!!!!! I plan on playing this. I'm in 6th Grade right now and I've got a page done....

[CyberElektra]

Very good performance! My Mum played it too and recently my brother sent me a video from 1988 of her playing it at home. Just click on my user name to go to my channel, as I've just uploaded it. Please forgive her few errors as she was 64 in 1988.

[rockyjay2]

absolutely wonderfully played and has influence my interpretation and helped greatly :)

5/5

[thrippleton]

I play this at a quicker speed; it sounds more impressive.

I think the best rendition on YouTube is the one played on a 1930's piano(there's a monochrome picture of ,I think ,the composer Sinding). It's not stated who the pianist is but this is the version to aim for.

[achinda]

as if, that version is terrible

its played so violently, it was so bad i stopped listening to it half way through

[kouriskiii]

BAHAHAH

im palying this for my exam (Y)

[NERU2007]

what grade is this piece?

[kouriskiii]

its grade 8

quite difficult

[unfairplay]

i think it ought to be slower when the melody passes to the right hand... very good though. well done!

[edward1369]

Beautiful, um i think the best ive heard on youtube so far

[huangtonsoup]

Pretty good. I can imagine all things waking up when spring comes.

[twilight105656]

HOLY COW THATS SO GOOD!

[icycocopops15]

OMG! THis is from the movie the Music Man!!!! HAHA

[bobjicat54]

ummm i can hear the squeaking of your foot pedals! but besides that fab!

[whitelightning5]

Love this piece -- my dad plays it every once in awhile. And actually, I think your speed is just fine. It's not meant to be played slowly, as some people are suggesting. This is almost exactly the way my dad plays it. Thanks for sharing! :)

[shamgar001]

It's too bad that the video is out of sync. Oh, well, great job!

[WarrenPeice]

Ive been trying to play this since 1970. My father played it so well and its the main reason Ive been haunted by music all my life. The fact that you added it on my 51st birthday is a real present for me.

[pharmasteve]

Absolutely wonderful. Its one of my favourate pieces.

[lietzen]

Wonderful...

... yes, a little slower might be good, anyway nice playing ;-)

[abigailaverill]

Beautiful. Slowing down just a little would help show the depth of this piece. I have been playing it for about three years now, and lessening the speed just a touch gives the listener the ability to enjoy the different things happening... Also the change of tempo at 1:36 was a bit interesting. Where did you get the idea that the climbing right there ought to be slower than the rest? I have always played those notes at the same speed. Well played overall, keep practicing!

[apoka128]

GREAT!

[slivavitz]

Wonderful, My grandmother was accomplished at the piano and played this for me all the time. she did this piece with great feeling, she would have said you have that wonderful ability to feel what you play. I love being able to listen to you play this. a real treat for me as I have not heard this since she passed on in 1968. Thank you.

[pianogooroo]

I've been playing this piece for 6 months, I'm nowhere near being able to play it. I'm terrible at chromatics. Well done, I love this song.

[suzukibeane]

robot272; how amazing - you must be very proud of his music. my great-aunt played this amazingly well; i used to watch her at 3 and 4; doing so convinced me to study the piano, write songs, and marry a pianist. :)

[RikhardHerr]

Well done dude! but i see you struggle at the exact place as i aldo do, cause i play that peace too=)

I think it's page 4 or 5:P butt Great!!!

[TTigo]

I've recorded it a second time, look at my videos..

[noahmariogreene]

@RikhardHerr I play this too! I'm 11 and I've been practicing for almost 5 years... 4th and 5th pages are still hard for me!

[akirakirai]

Nice! I remember playing this song a while back for a talent show xD I messed up a little bit >.> but at least the crowded notes covered it a little :D

[TTigo]

Thanks to all!

I fell in love with this piece, that's why I recorded it a second time... take a look at my youtube space ;)

[zendium91]

man, you play this with so much emotion.

BTW nice sound of the piano!

[Elidoransgar]

My favorite piece! So lyrical and beautiful. I sometimes fantasize about trying to adapt it to guitar. (As if.) You do a creditable job with it, keep practicing!

[steve4nlanguage]

Great job! When I was a teenager (30 years ago) I played piano, but could never get this piece down. Again, you did a nice job with such a difficult piece.

[robot272]

The composer was my great grandfather i am honest, do u know more about his live or songs?

[grodob]

Well done
