Bach: "Air" BWV 1068

[jaja2bezak]

c'est très gentil de ta part mais... quel massacre!! autant publier des tablatures à ce niveau.

[k04jk04]

I really like this adaptation. Where'd you get the sheet music? I like how it preserves the voices at 3:40, and throughout

[BomberZane]

Wonderful *___*

[sebas237]

excelente, cuando lo escucho viajo por el aire

[fanyp974]

J adore cette version, je l ai trouvé nulle part !!!! Quelqu un aurait il cette partition pour moi ? Merci d' avance mon e mail: jerometurpin@hotmail.fr

[FoliesEspagne]

Do I have a nightmare? No, it is Bach transformed to elevator music. I rather still prefer Debussy on the electric guitar.

[sinancans]

STEINWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[simonlapa]

o my... steinway.. but this song deserves top quality tool..

btw. is that your private instrument? I mean do U have it at home?

[jazzrelease]

ca fait du bien merci

[atzmonhentov]

Beautiful. Is it a mistake at 3:05?

[brunoblood]

美しい

[sonthor1996]

STEINWAY!!!!!!!!

[Yohanprasanga]

when i am gonna be perfect like this ? ?..... great man......

[Qulico007]

Have you done all that by memory?

I hope my son, Sebastian, will be able to play like you soon.

I named named him after Bach.

[iynn512]

i wonder if u can post video of u playing fantaisie-impromptu?

[chopin7777777]

god bless your hands homie. Thnx cuz it can help me like a tutorial lesson :)

[romashkinalive]

I like it... very nice :)

[ida23]

che bella :)

[ulises4567890]

favoritess :D

[Gulirano]

BRAVO! Absolutely amazing, thanks you!

[MaMiMoMu09]

Uh! are there a mistakes at 3.05?

[MaMiMoMu09]

It's time to sleep but I can't take my headphone out *-*

You play so sweetly.

It makes me think about my friends.

[garmot17]

this is wonderful

[rainingautumn]

I'm even more jealous than that one who is jealous... :)

Really nice!

[simonenicholas]

Why did you transpose it to A mj, is it easier to play than in D ?

[caroqueijo]

you play really well !!!... were can i get the score ??

thanks

[veritaserum02]

I'm so jealous

[MindSweep43]

Nice playing.

Zackiesmomma must have some incredible perfect pitch.. It sounds in tune to me.

[madronbln]

great instrument, thanks for posting

[PowerRedBull]

Those "long"tones of what you could call the melody strike me much more on instruments can keep sustained notes. It brings more tension. This song sounds much better on violin/organ/orchestra I think.

[clyfton]

I agree also. I suppose this particular rendition should be sorted under the "just for fun" category :)

[PowerRedBull]

@clyfton

don't get me wrong..it's great to hear it on the piano. I like listening to pieces that are played on other instruemnts than the original. keeps its frech. By the way, I'm looking for the chords of this song, just to look how it's contructed. I can not read notes, so i'd like to see them on a piano being played. Most versions i see on youtube do not actually play the full chord (mostly just root) . I compose for fun, so classical chord progressions are intersting for me. Please reply

[bleger814]

@clyfton Exactly. That's why I decided today to learn cello - and I'm an inbred pianist.

[cattje]

@PowerRedBull

don't agree, this piano hasn't the right sound, but this song played with a violin (for the right hand) sounds too 'old' in my opinion... :-)

[Zackiesmomma]

Beautiful playing, the Steinway tone is crummy though. Out of tune.

[Bertlhost]

super

[alufthansa]

Could u do a tutorial for the first segment of this piece ?

i'd be very grateful

[b1llybrown]

GOOD JOB!!!

[yukii00]

veramente bravo!

vorrei imparare a suonare il piano come te:)

[crazyghetto978818]

thats oooonnne expensive piano you got there O_O

[froufrou06]

I was just about to say the same!!!

[dragons454]

me too... shame... O_O

[skaterceo]

lol

[vocality44]

I can't wait for my piano lessons to start up again.  :D This song makes me very happy.

[guddegutten]

could you pleace make a tutorial of this pleace?? :D

[relishh]

this is absolutely stunning

[nacho9910]

MUY BUEN INTERPRETE.... EXELENTE..

[pfc82563]

took german in HS. Bach translates to brook (stream). My teacher said Bach was more like a Sea than a brook. played very beautifully...thanks,

[AuronpeacemakerG]

Thanks for this, This is one of my Favorite Songs ever! I Only know how to play it in the Guitar

[vampianist]

[AuronpeacemakerG]

Thanks alot! Can u put a video like this of Wanderer Fantasy of Schubert :) please

[puchalaka]

my favorite is that chopin prelude

[JCAznDude]

Dang, I remember hearing this song in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Truly a great song. ^w^

[Winterheart00]

Your hand fits well with steinway and sons...Beautiful couple in the making. Ijust hope i can play as good as you do, im really struggling to perfect this piece　too bad i wasnt raised in with a piano and a highly capable mentor, . too bad i wasnt raised in with a piano and a highly capable mentor,

Remarkably marvellous....

[GNOMO319]

Hi Winterheart00, I have just read your comment and I decided to write 2 u n I hope it`ll help u to carry on wit ur playin.

I am Brazilian and like u I did`n have the opportunity 2 study never had a piano in my life so FAR ( one day I will have my own piano ) n couldnt afford my studies...

Today, I am in London tryin to get in the university here ( as u could notice English is not my 1st language ) it has been a long journey bt cos I didn give up I might study this year or next

[GNOMO319]

I am not an open person ... ... I know there are loads of things I could tell u ... ... times that I thought 2 give up.. .... and etcs... it doesn`t matter how well u play. when u play please enjoy it... ...

If I can somehow help u to develop ur skills I will. If u want some tips, I am just ask.

I will be waiting 4 ur reply.

Live well!

[baker3617]

I really like it...

how long does it take you to learn these songs?

[Starbirdy9999]

Well a song like this is a level 5 or 6-this would take me around 2 weeks-a month. I'm a fast learner, and right now I'm practicing The Music Box by Anatol Liadov, and three of Chopin's Mazurka's.

[robicool]

That would take me AGES to learn, and to play to this standard...probably a year or something. Time well spent though

[Sixalienasa]

The Audio is cruel!

What sort of a Mic did you use?

Did you find it in a Lucky Bag?

;-)

[minijamnik]

beautiful... I love Bach. Masterpiece...

[puchalaka]

I bet your Seinway & Sons keys where actually built the same size to each other unlike my Kholer & Campell.

Wonderful piano, and great job doing this cover by ear. Very talented!

[pianollatora]

It is beautiful music and beautiful interpretation.

(Your hands are beautiful, too. ^^)

I am impressed very much and looking forward to seeing and hearing your more performance.

[GonzaloArgento]

Love the camera position. Im going to marry in 2 month with this song.

[eengozer]

@GonzaloArgento Gratz man!

[jackylen57]

Très belle interprétation qui me procure un très grand plaisir !

Merci

[puchalaka]

This suite is one of the most peaceful pices of music i have heard in my life, it just goes every where it should go. Perfect

[luisuny]

COULD U SET A VIDEO WITH D tone???

=)

[saleha250]

Nice piano :-)

[florbo73]

Very Beautiful!!! Thanks!

[talvilintu]

Bravo!

[ecgerman2020]

Que hermoso piano!!!

[quinn244]

I really like your piano!!! is it an upright or a grand?

[fskater007]

beppes gonattstund, snyggt.

[afronova1127]

good job! i'm not a fan of air on the piano, its missing some of the viola part, and i play the viola and were playing this in orchestra, so i gasp when i see my part isnt fully covered :O

[clyfton]

I agree! But then again, I only have two hands, and ten fingers. Unless I was playing this on an organ (and using my feet for the bass lines), there is simply no way to fully "cover" this piece on the piano. This as close as I could get ;)

[Jesusplant]

you didn't even try with the feet playing =P

but no really good job man

[GerryQuiet]

Thanks you from Spain.

Is that Mathematics? Is that God? Is that simply Clifton? It´s the same, you have inside.

[mhac1986]

Excellent!!! Congratulations!!!

[WestCoastWhity]

I just learned this song=)

[rockingnights]

beautiful hands :-)

[Alejandro270193]

It is that a Steinway & Sons Grand Piano??!!

[clyfton]

it is!

1925 vertegrand

[xjt111x]

I love where you put your camera, lol. Good view ^^

[CONGKAMAEL]

Did you ever thought of how he did it? I still can't figure out how the hell he put that camera...lol

btw, this view is not good in my point of view, you cant actually see which notes he is playing.

but good interpretation!

[StudioSCAPE]

Played this in orchestra already.

[mojojojoyk888]

May I know where you got the sheet music from?

[The21122012]

By the way nice interpretation

[art4ever1]

I love Bach.And you play it very well,like it has to sound...fluid,elegant and soft, full of harmony.

Altough Bach had a very mathematically, for me also a logical kind of music ( i play violine), it is very hard to play it in the right way.

I`m often getting strange listening to Bach.....He was a real Genious!...Such harmony which seems beeing so easy in one way and in the other having such a complexity in it.....JUST GREAT !

[RobinMuggler]

Ich bin überwältigt. Es ist verdammt gut!!! Ich habe das Lied schon überall gesucht! Nun kann ich es sogar spielen! Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz!

Love from Switzerland!

[TheWeemaster]

happiness is a cigar called hamlet lol

[carnation0katie]

Very very nice! I would love to hear some advice because I am JUST starting out. =p any way yea I absolutely admire you now.

[max25252525252525]

wow , you made bach sounds like chopin!

awesome, very good interpretation.

it remembered me the opus 9 of chopin( nocturnes)

[MaAyAnS12]

amazing!!!

very exciting!!

well done and good luck!

[dome790]

je suis tombe amoureux par votre interpretation et j aimerai bien etre a la place du piano afin d etre caresse par vos doigt comme vous le faite sur le clavier. vous etes tout simplement geniale.merci de me donner tant de bonheur en vous regardant jouer.

[cheerbabe8790]

Je vous approuve complètement. La chanson est jouée ainsi beuatifully et il me rend si très heureux d'entendre dire qu'il a joué avec une telle passion.

[The21122012]

You don't really speak french

[The21122012]

Talking about cheerbabe8790

[cheerbabe8790]

heyy bitch i do speak french im fluent in that as well as 4 other languages, im just a little rusty because i havn't spoken it in 3 years, i was also taught in american schools so it will ever be as good or as correct as someone who has spoken it forever. Don't be an ass hole

[clyfton]

whoa, relax ppl! I wouldn't want to debate whether or not you are fluent in French, cheerbabe8790, because it serves no purpose. However, I too have studied French and must admit that your syntax looks nothing like that of a native or fluent speaker of French.

But nonetheless, what difference does it make if you are fluent or not? Does it alter your ability to listen to these recordings and enjoy them? Absolutely not! That's why I don't see why user The21122012 is complaining so much.

[cheerbabe8790]

you are correct lol it doesnt make any difference however i am aware the sytax and the gramatics are probably not correct, as i said its been roughly three years since i have tried to write it, but i do speak it which is of course different. with that said it really isnt a big deal if THE211122012 believe me, i do enjoy this music and it it is very beautifully played.

[minimotzart]

Wonderful. That piece is ou played it perbeautifully, and perfectly.

[gabby3001]

I also wouldn't mind knowing where you got that arrangement. the only one I have in low grade shit, someone gave me a "late intermediate" book.... it's more like early intermediate.... maybe

[gabby3001]

I saw your piano and just about had an orgasm... <3 Steinway &Sons.... the playing was good too...

[alexxxxxx23]

There was a mistake in 3:05

[Reiti1811]

Spüs moi söbst und dann schau ma Weida....Gfrettn!!!

[iamlondon]

Odd as it might sound to the less observant,but watching the combination of mathematical relationships involved in producing that harmonisation is, to me, some proof of the design of the universe and of the existence of God. I know I'm not the first to say any of the above, but as a practising Roman Catholic I really do take great pleasure from seeing that Descartes, Spinoza, Newton, Einstein and others were truly on to something with their reliance on pattern and form as a route to the Eternal.

[clyfton]

Thanks for tuning in! I really don't want to offend you in any way, but I completely disagree with you about the idea of intelligent design. I definitely agree that the intricate, mathematical relationships hidden in Bach's music is nothing short of mind-boggling. And I would even say I sometimes have near religious experiences when listening to his music, but to me, that does not necessarily signify a God behind it all. So the experience is the same, but the explanations are different ;)

[iamlondon]

No offense taken! I was merely thinking aloud. But I find it interesting that when one interacts with the aforesaid and hereto mentioned mathematical patterns of musical harmony one does indeed have a form of spiritual experience!

Just as, a man like me would suppose, God had intended it!

It could all just be random atoms but better men than me would be able to tell you why it isn't. Aquinas is a good start. Kierkegaard speaks of doubt informing a good faith. I like Kierkegaard.

Pax.

[clyfton]

I agree. I too like Kierkegaard, and Heidegger and May too for that matter. But what little I've read of them has mainly revolved around the psychological aspects of existentialism (I'm a psych grad student). What really appeals to me is the romantic, mystical, spiritual (call it what you will) aspects of the human predicaments, and you'll find similar thoughts even in Weber's works. This world is DIRE need of a little spiritualism and even re-mystification.

[clyfton]

Still, I believe in the evidence presented to me by modern science. I just share your interest for the virtually inexplicable features of the human existence, and expecially what is going on inside of our minds, ie how we perceive everything that surrounds us, and how we try to make sense of it all.

[smalin]

Lovely. It sounds really good transposed down; I'm going to try that.

[droi74]

Thank you for uploading this video. I like watching your hands on the keyboard. Already watched many times.

[Posaunbass16]

My compliments for this exquisite and talented version of this piece. Bravo. I have a request, can you play the Busoni transcription of Bach's Wachet Auf ruft Uns Die Stimme BWV 645? I think that would be marvellous!

[puchalaka]

REQUEST: Chopin:Mazurka in A minor Op. 17 No. 4

Please!

I was the guy who wrote a comment about performing Beethoven's Moonlight in Wichita KS, which i learned off of your excellent playing.

[yellowshirtguy]

Where and when are you referring to? I live in Wichita.

[puchalaka]

In Wichita State University in the Duerksons Arts Center. I performed the 14th of Feb. at 2:11.

[joliechua89]

I love your playing. Ever after so long, I still come back to this video and listen to it as a background music while I do other thing. Very calming and peaceful. =}

[plecttrum]

Yeh nice feeling after that, of peace and quiet , don´t fancy going off and doing anything now for a while.

[stargirlsusan]

hey you got some long fingers

i wonder if short fingered people can play the piano or such piece, that was awsome

luv bach's music

[monta0076]

STEINWAY&SONS・・・

[joimpanne]

yeah. one of the rare musicians on youtube, who have the courage to play slow. The most musians are playing pieces like this too fast, because they want to hide any feelings.

Thank you

[lafamchocolat]

Magnifique <3

[iLoveBlowjobz]

huge hands :-)

[clyfton]

great nickname... ;)

[iLoveBlowjobz]

thanks, but you've got something even greater--talent. I can play the first minute or so of this song but with nowhere near the level of finesse you play it at.

Not to mention the fact that you've got big hands (ladies must love you for that, too :P).

At 0:31 you play B, F#, D. I can't properly reach that so I've got to settle with D, F#, D because C, F#, D sounds kinda wrong =\.

Anyways, keep up the good shit. I honestly watch this video everyday. :-)

[challyy89]

can anybody tell me where i can get exactly these sheets??

well done...love it

[Alchrat]

Few mistakes though

[tjk322]

SO nice!

[GiuSiMyStery]

very very nice =) I whish I could play it too =(

[courageux28]

With masterful video post like this one, I can learn this piece simply by watching. Awesome technique by the way.

[RichardBalsak]

why dont you think Bach wrote it in A? This is not a "bright" piece.

Nice job and thanks for posting.

[clyfton]

it simply wasn't intended for the piano, that's all :)

[marciareginabalbo]

Lindo!!!! Meus parabéns, vai para os meus favoritos! Bravo!!!!

[StringQuartetFan]

i love your hands. i love your piano. good show mate.

[natanael1991]

that's what I wanted to find, but why did you transpose it to A major?

[clyfton]

the original key would simply sound either too "bright" or "dark" depending on which octave in D major you had chosen to play. I chose A major because it sounded better, and is similar to D major in many ways. :)

[natanael1991]

ok ;) however that's very good work ;)

[ArdieM]

its so lovely to watch your left hand move the octaves up and down, i like it very much. thank you!

[PeYo95]

Magnifique..

[yj82447]

anyone has the sheet music for this?

[michaelatm2603]

To be honest. I wish I could have those fingers like yours.

[GraceGunz]

So beutiful it makes me wanna cry.

[PeYo95]

wonderful!!

[chadkieth]

I had no idea that this song could be also played as a solo piano piece O.o...I love it! it looks so hard to play. what grade is this? brava, monsieur clyfton!  :O)

[kokoramoni]

Its not so hard but bach turned an intermediate piece to a spectacular melody so it sounds beautiful but its not that hard.

[okingu]

beautiful...

[Alchrat]

okay... done the first part.... now the second part.

[niclashbg]

crazy skills!!!

[Alchrat]

his hands are big.... to bad I still have to wait a couple of years.....

[Louvonbeetoven]

You play wonderfully and you have beautiful hands.

[Alchrat]

His piece has slight differences than mine though, but same key..... but yeah, nice hand skills. really, pianist's hands.

[angelatow]

OH MY GOD. I LOVE THAT PIANO

[calliehahn]

so beautiful, seriously!

i started crying when i watched it.

all of my respect for you

[MURAKAMEE]

How can I get the sheet music for this( in A major)?

Haruki

[joliechua89]

Beautiful song and beautiful playing!

[dizzymabuk]

OMG ! A STEINWAY&SONS!

[manoso]
