The heart asks pleasure first - The Piano

[giammi31]

da quanti anni è che suoni?

[xquissita]

sin palabras.....

[lovepiano69]

Like your interpretation very much. You are playing this piece very much like Michael Nyman himself. Wish I could play it like that...

[Takeo1813]

best version on youtube



[LBanchio]

Too fast, but nice.

[MusicLove092]

Oh, how I love this melody!!! It is so beautiful :D You played it so well!

[guitarraveboy]

sounds off

[dalymc]

U are av ery talented person...with a gift that most envy....keep playing!!xxxxx

[sensualgun]

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!! :-)

[powertothebees]

@sensualgun I could only listen to your recommendation for a short minute....it was awful.

[Omfgwhtavid]

Wow lol, I was just going through other videos thinking I would never find somebody who played the song as it's played. All others play it very slow. I'm tip my hat to you, you're a wonderful player.

[oppysam]

donde puedo conseguir la partitura?..me puedes enviar?

[jeszersz]

may i just say its played to fast to feel the soal you have in this song x

[batura1]

wow how you do play like that? really good. you are amazing

[thetinowashere]

...

[alfon007ole]

thats looks pretty tough, its for three hands right?? (i think thats whatit is called when you play the melody and the harmony with the right hand and the harmony with the left hand as well) I always have trouble with those songs..

[MrPianoMad]

i love it, i could watch your hands all day

[guyslade]

its the loyds advert

[maaristas96]

Joodeer eskk buaa ! Yo toco el pianoo peroo...jaja no esque sepa tocar esas cosas...jaja teengo 14 años! Pero me encaantaria a aprender a tocar asi es precioso!

[manuelusilva3]

dont you think is a litle to fast :x but its yure version I think you should slow down :) so we can apreciate each note :)

[AresXa]

A ti te han salido patillas ya en los huevos de tocar el piano! Menuda bestia parda! jejeje

[scottishbecky81]

I love this song..... simply amazing job. I wish I knew how to play this beautiful song.

[Hagamoosie]

I am learning this and it is so much trouble because my hands are so small :(

[dalymc]

So well played! Beautiful....You inspire us all with your playing!

[dalymc]

@dalymc--- Never has a little finger been sooooo important!

[genuinediamond]

@dalymc mine hurted so much after not letting it feel loose while playing. I used to get so mad and play this song and it'll be so effffing sore.

[mar5ooos]

i hope to play that

[briannemb]

I play thatt (:

[molleycoddle]

I've watched this a dozen times;it's just beautiful

[soullavee]

This is my favorite version yet and it was absolutely mesmerizing to watch those fingers glide on the keys..thank you so much for sharing, Merry Christmas:-)

[erikamabra]

how many versions of it are there?

[genuinediamond]

@erikamabra 3 and millions of fakes with natural mistakes.

[MusicFrEakLover123]

sooooo Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[zwilliam479z]

slow it down

[LotteMarit]

Nyyyydelig!! <3

[thepollegazon]

I can play this too, but not as perfectly as you, man, good job.

as for the tutorial request: I think it's safe to say this piece is way too hard to make a tutorial. You should try and get a hold of the sheet music to learn this. Takes a lot of practice, but it's totally worth it. I love this song!

[ModernPianoAble]

well done!

[scottishbecky81]

This has to be absolutely one of my favorite pieces of music for the piano. I would really love to learn to play this!! This song gives me chills!

[Nothingous]

The playing needs more emotion, this is really wooden. There are hardly any dynamic changes, no real feel, few hiccups but technically it's quite good, just need to work on the feel :)

[soobajeaba]

A whole life looking for a song you heard when you were a child... Now, at last, I have found that song that brings me very good memories...

Just no words to explain such a beauty... =)

May I know where can I find this song?? Thanks!

[juliiy3]

Trés beau ! Je trouve que ce rythme est parfait.

[withloveanne]

Woooow you're amazing!!!

[TheHeavenlyTears]

This is beautiful! I loved it so much. I'm currently learning to play it and when I saw you playing it m mouth nearly dropped, it was that amzing!! 5/5 and favourites. =]

[thesilverkiss101]

may you please make a tutorial?

[WexxGonnaxxDance]

amazing

[EternalNightTime]

That was AMAZING!!

This is my very favourite piece of music, and you played it beautifully!! :)

[jackman7809]

that was amazing.......

[nichtdaemlich]

Einfach nur genial! Mach weiter so!

[godessceline]

When the key changes at 0:46...goosebumps.

[larrystanke]

i alwya though that this is Yanni - etude :D now i know the name, I have to learn this peace :)

[Dawny2202]

you wouldn't happen to have the sheet music would you? your playing is amazing :)

[istarmabi789]

fantastico!!

[Mila592]

Hey, reeeeeally good.. :) where can i get the shee music?! i just LOVE this song!

[chamcia]

Chapeau!!

[michaelnyman1]

muy muy bien hermano, pero solo lo ùnico que te aceleras un pooco, pero un poco, solamente màs tranquilo y ya està

[forevergladiator]

Wonderful

[pdamou]

Rythme parfait! Technique à point. Merci!!!

[O0ocamilletteo0O]

Enfin quelqu'un qui la jouz avec un bon tempo!!

[RoseyNo]

Amazing! You play this song beautifully. I just downloaded the sheet music and will learn it in my piano lessons. It looks quite difficult, but I'm giving it my all.

[hernaux]

Hermoso tema, y tocado con una serenidad plena.

[Brisbane09]

woah, it's really fast and amazing. I just bought the sheets. great work

[Agassu1]

Me too. I learn it now too!!!!! :-) It's a wunderful peace

[ViskEEE]

Yeah, the "peace" is wonderful indeed xD

[musicioso]

whahahahahahahaahha

[69gorditoh69]

it's god!

[tupuxinguili]

me guuusta

[mimuxa666]

amaziiiiiiiinnggg *-*

[shcheah]

Ya, just like you jacking off in front of a 3 year old!

[briolin]

sorry, but I think you should practise more

with a rhythmometer

[y9byzm6r]

the way it is played brings out a lot more emotion...

if it were to be played with a fixed tempo it would be far less amazing :D although i do agree with funnyduck... a little to fast, but otherwise amazing! good job!

[darkshadowgaara]

TEACH ME!!

[screamingchickenpie]

Really good. ^.^

[basa6512]

fantastic. I'm speechless.

[Timthewicked]

I loooove this piece. I play it, and don't stop for 2 hours at least, like I'm being sucked into this huge orb of inner relaxation. Very meditative. Well done, 5/5.

[michaelnyman1]

hola de nuevo hermano soy ALJN1214 pero enmiotra cuenta, por que me susupendieron mi cuenta, pero eso no importa.

no words for this ö

[mirkomirko]

you're incredible

[sexxyriderhann]

.wow. im learning how to play this..i can play the first page so far..u are really amazing!! well done!!

x.hann.x

[anaisvl]

where did you get the sheet papers?

[Guardian016]

If you buy the soundtrack of the film 'The Piano'.

[Ingriddera]

This was brilliant!

I play this one too, but not nearly as good as you!=D LOVED it!^^

[tripletsareweirder]

Wow, that's amazing. The balance between the parts and the control with which you played was just perfect (to my ear, anyway). And I really do wish I had your technique, absolutely wonderful.

[3Thunderstorm]

I love how your hands are moving on the piano ! it's like dancing... And your finger look like caress keys.

[LQ]

Very well played indeed, got the sustain just right aswell well done:)

[AnneQIS]

Great!

[Highflyer1971]

very nice sound from the piano, and you play it very well,...nice all round.:)

[ionishka]

this is just perfect.

[rosesdete]

Bravo!

[jjeri]

Oh yeah, by the way, nice playing. Try practicing Hanon Virtuoso Piano in 60 exercises. It will loosen you up a lot.

[jjeri]

OK, someone help me here, according to the music sheet I have, there are 4 pages and the last page is almost all groups of 5 notes (I guess it's called quintet?). I haven't heard a single version that plays this part too.

[DoctorGradus]

this is true,the last page is almost all groups of quintets,but nobody ever plays these,because nobody has ever probably heard that part,in the studio versions at least.i was thinking that i should upload a complete version of the piece but the idea was postponed due to technical reasons...one day perhaps...as for the loosening up part,the great Hanon is a good idea,but the reason why my hands seem so rigid was that it was very cold and i didn't warm up adequately

[adrian592]

For those who want to hear the quintuplet section, as they should be called :p, you can go to 'watch?v=mvQXqkzWtq0'. Ignore the anime in the background if you wish

[infra4802]

Very very nice. Thank you for the tip. Really appreciate it.

[arripay]

@jjeri I had the music for about 10 years before I turned over the final page and found the whole quintet section on the next page!! I was so surprised!

[ezzano1]

@jjeri yes i agree. maybe its an australian thing? are you an aussie? I dont know why people dont play the quintuplet! it is so beautiful.

[CarriAndrea]

@jjeri me too! I search all over the web the last page but I never listen to it

[Islingtonians]

@jjeri totally. And I noticed that too. I think, in the movie, there is a part where it's actually played true to that, though...

[tonyhawk1991]

small mistakes.. but otherwise good...

[LullabyWXJ]

amazing doctor gradus!!! you play this piece perfectly

[tacittales]

wonderful.

[saoloca]

si claro esta bellisimo esa melodia la toco en la guitarra pero no es igual que un piano...suena mejor.(>.0)

[saoloca]

realmente impresionante. yo tengo un problema de indesicion sobre que tocar y ahora que te escucho me emociono y me gustaria tambien tocar el piano. bravo

[DoctorGradus]

me alegra que mi interpretacion te inspire a empezar a tocar el piano :)

[sofyeeee]

...love this song...!!

[Kainpro1]

jaja 23 " anos " XD kedas disculpado

[andidoll357]

You play beautifully.

I've been looking for the sheet music and am only finding very basic versions. Could I ask where you purchased your version? Thank you so much.  Brilliant piece.

[DoctorGradus]

I purchased it from a well known music store in greece....but i think that you can find the real score anywhere....if there is still no luck tell me :)

[Guardian016]

Small score is attached in the soundtrack of The Piano.

[Kainpro1]

Eres un makina!!! Ami lo k me keda por conseguir hacer bien es cuadrar exactamente las notas k se tocan con el meñique XD

[aljn1214]

sry for mark your message posted like a spam becaude i dont thonked that was a spam sry =(

='(

[aljn1214]

Genial xq yo solamente tengo apenas 11 años pero yo la toco con un poco de errores.

Yo tambien la estoy tratando de interpretar también.

Yo fuí al concierto de michael nyman.

toco esta melodia.

[aljn1214]

Bravo amigo.

Tocas esta piesa bellísima.

Como sientes esa pasión en tus venas corriendo la música en todo tu cuerpo.

Te felicito.

Que edad tienes?

Xq eres genial.

[DoctorGradus]

gracias :)

tengo 23 anos(disculpame la ortografia pero mi computadora no tiene la n*)

[Spiritosando90]

Bravissimo , però secondo me dovresti migliorare la parteprima di quella centrale che secondo me è risultata troppo meccanica , mi è invece piaciuto moltissimo quando hai rallentato dopo la parte centrale , i miei complimenti

[aljn1214]

HI everyone

MICHAEL NYMAN will do a concer in PUEBLA MEXICO

In SAN PEDRO MUSEO DE ARTE PUEBLA MEXICO

at 19:00

NOVEMBER 17

[RoloVillagra]

Pretty much similar to the original version...Good Job bro!

No le des bola lo q dicen los otros mamertos, podras tener los dedos un poco rigidos, pero el tema salio buenisimo!, Gratz!.

[SappySuperunknown10]

best version of this song I've heard! you are seriously great, sounds just like the original. Fantastic job!

[AMusicAddict]

Muy bien! Y buen trabajo de cámara ;-)

[calypso68]

Es maravilloso el placer que da ver las hermosas manos que tienes y el como expresan al tocar...

Eres genial!!! Un beso

[linchen76]

Let your heart play not your hands!!! It´s not bad but to mechanical. If you have seen the Movie, and understand it, you will play with your heart.

[shcheah]

Wow, you have so much crap in your mouth dude!

[YouVRay]

I agree with wmi10. It's quite difficult, for me anyway, but also try to bring more feeling into the music

[DoctorGradus]

i agree with wmi10 too...i didn´t like this version that much myself...the thing is,i recorded this in january,and that room was freezing cold..i think you can see that my fingers are totally rigid and inflexible...maybe i will make another recording soon..

[wmi10]

in my opinion, your playing is too mechanical in some parts..

[shcheah]

Yeah, like the way you play piano and hump your dogs too!

[olliekickflip812]

this is good! i really want to play this piece but i only know about 1/3 of it

[CossacksChampion]

is it Micheal Nyman himself playing there ?? Coz the song has been played exactly identic as the original..

[luciebreizh]

Tu joue super bien ! bravo !

[davenoir1985]

Esto es saber tocar!!!! buenisimo!!! es a lo que llamo un la música más bella... felicidades!!!!

[breizhernamer]

j'aodre la musique de la piano!!!!

c'est joli, et tout de l'amour et compassion!

[tanker242]

what piano is this? U5, YUS5, or...

[DoctorGradus]

it is a U1 :)

[kinai123]

oh I have a U3 one ! Hope I will be able to play like you soon ! Good job :)

[offtosleep78]

too too fast

[shcheah]

This is the best in YouTube so far. No contest! Good job!

[Chantal92tal]

super!

[alvaropeR]

great. :)

[mzlbul]

Moi, je suis en train de l'apprendre, je patine un peu ... en tout cas bravo a toi ! euh juste comme ca t'a mis lgtp a l'apprendre ? et ça fait longtemp que tu fais du piano ?

[DoctorGradus]

thanks... :) it took me about 5 days to learn the piece, that was about 7 years ago...and i have been playing for 11 years now.....

[ladycloe]

Love it !!!!

[DJL101]

played perfectly well done!

[ouueee]

perfect :) umm i was wondering if you could upload one that has the crazy part towards the end? when you have time, though ^_^ thanks.

but you got five stars on this one from me, ten if it were possible :D

[DoctorGradus]

haha thanks...by "crazy part" you mean the tuplets at the end that no one ever plays huh?well,yes,maybe i will do that in july :)

[ouueee]

yessss! hey check mine out.

[kariberi]

lovely!

[Nigelmcp]

Amazing. You are so so talented. Thank you.

[HCGurl23]

Wow, you play this song perfectly. I've been wanting to learn it but no one has posted a how to video for playing this song.  Could you please post a tutorial video for this song?

[DoctorGradus]

i can´t do a tutorial because currently i don´t have a piano or a camera available...but i don´t think it would be of much help....start studying the piece and if you have any doubts don´t hesitate to tell me..i wiil be glad to help you,if i can. :)

[HCGurl23]

Darn. It was worth the try though. I'm swamped with finals work, so I don't have the time, but I'm planning on looking into it during the summer. Thanks.

[InmemoryofMocat]

Excellent job!

[sadata]

the tempo is perfest, not to fast not to slow,

muy bien :D

[GracieD232007]

Love this piece well done!:D

[JRafamaiden]

[ingenue15]

Wow! This is wonderful!

[PukvdPetteflat]

Very good!

[yanet22]

tan bueno como el primero! no hay dia en que no crea llegas al corazon cuando tocas piano.

[DoctorGradus]

jaja... pues ¡gracias! aunque a mi no me ha gustado tanto esta version de verdad...

[ybgireille]

i've been playing piano for a while but i started learning this piece last night cant wait to master it

your an inspiration to us all

:D

[DoctorGradus]

thanks! :)

[chunkybutt157]

i've fallen in loe with ability to play the piano, that piece of music always brings tears to my eyes no idea why. i love your hands hhehe i want them

XD

[Guardian016]

How many days have you spent to master this song?

[chemicaeconomica]

2 comments damn bad for such a good piece and with an amzaing camera work even i have started playing piano very recently 2 months back.

[MoonWand]

awesome!!!!

[DoctorGradus]

¡gracias!

[Aberforthette]

Brilliant! I've only just started both to read music and to play the piano myself- insanely but pig-headedly, I started with this piece. I can now play the first three er...bits. A friend taught me, but your rendition is helping me to work out how it should look and sound in her absence, so thanks for that.

[DoctorGradus]

thanks!
