Flawless. You could really show all the emotion of this song. Beautifully executed, Versions like these always makes me fell I should learn how to play the Piano. I can play this song in the Guitar, but two people are necessary to play the full arrangement, and I really envy Pianists because the can be a little more independent on playing these songs. Congratulations!
I haven't really been able to feel music lately.. I don't know if I have simply heard too many cliches from what tonal harmony has to offer, but nothing really phases me.
It may just be the nostalgia, but this performance, arrangement, and composition really got to me. I experienced goosebumps for the first time in months. I just want to thank you, Verdegrand, for helping me keep my musical sanity!
wow...the first vid i see with 0 negative votes :) and you know what...? you deserved it :) Great work...fantastic...don´t think there is a way to do it better !
It sounds like almost the whole time except stylistically when you release it, but at times your hand looks like it's holding notes as if you aren't using the pedal at all.
@Lukkysama Wanna "like" it so more people can see it? I'm a writer and I love having people read my work (even though this came from my head 5 seconds after listening to the song lol).
This has always been my favorite piece from the entire Final Fantasy X soundtrack...but the accuracy of this arrangement and the delicate richness of your playing somehow elevate it to something else entirely. A verdant, misty forest, glittering in twilight...a touch of melancholy...it sends the imagination soaring!
This is just amazing!!! I've seen the original arr. sheet music, and man, I play piano and I know that this piece is much difficult then what it sounds. How long did you work on it? Keep up the good work, and please post more of these beautiful music!
Amazing! Simply amazing! It sounds exactly like the original! You didn't miss a single detail! You mastered this perfectly! Out of all the videos I've seen of this being played yours is by far the best! =)
This arrangement is wonderful, easily the best I've heard. Thanks for bringing this to YouTube, now I definitely need to try my hand at Vincent's work.
I don't use the word beautiful much for music, but this is beautiful!
I started to learn it, but it's difficult. the part for each hand really contradicts each other. any tips would be good, or advice on how to practice it.
0 dislikes. Wow this is THAT good! But wait, there's probably going to be some immature 10 year old reading this comment and then dislikes the video for no reason. Is it too late now?
This will always be my most favorite YTube vid :) 3rd time I've commented on it lol. Excessive on my part but it's THAT beautiful to me. This song is my happy place and nobody has ever delivered it with the feeling and finesse that you have V.
@finaltits well thank you, i am happy to hear that and i appreciate it a lot. i would probably have to agree that this might be one of my best videos and certainly one of the best arrangements i've ever played. that time after i signed up on youtube was great, and this arrangement was a big part of that. i shall hope to record this on a grand some day.
@anjunafae What do you mean could've been more "on beat"? This is probably the best representation you'll ever find for this piece and is played pretty much flawlessly. Normally I don't mind people's criticisms but in this case it's the best you will find on YTube. Let me ask you if you play piano? If so, do you put yourself out there, or do you just critic? The arrangement is very advanced and was nailed perfectly on so many levels. You basically just viewed a 10/10 and rated it a 7.
X3 I will love this song FOREVER!! I swear this version sounds better than the original song itself! Great job to Verdegrand for playing this so beautifully!
This is the most beautiful rendition Silence before storms I've ever heard. It's so rare to find a relic like this to bring me tears of nostalgia and peace.
This song gives me images of a paradise during a bright storm, rain falling just perfectly setting in and complementing, the silence before the storm. If one were to pass away, this would be such a fitting song to say your goodbyes with.
this the athmosphere of this video comes much better by watching it on your channel, the white of youtube doesn´t fit to well, but on your profile it is not just a pleasure to hear, but also to watch
Might I ask what model piano you are playing? It has a lovely sound and I'd be interested in looking into purchasing one for myself.
Very well played, by the way. I believe it captures the essence of not only the Thunder Plains, but the turmoil that the group was going through at the time of the game (Yuna's decision).
@Drassielle Hi, this is the Kawai CA-9, it's an outdated model and the current equivalent would be the CA-93. I can't recommend the current line though because the pianos are having some firmware problems which result in cracking noises, desync issues etc.. So if you want to get one, test it out thoroughly at a store. And yes this arrangement is really great, I like it a lot, too. That entire forest was just genius, and as you say, the part of the game was very memorable as well.
I have to comment again about this piece. This is pure perfection Verdegrand. I can close my eyes and listen and it feels like traveling to a far away dream on a white horse, without a care in the world. Thank you so much for making this version a reality! I love it! For anyone else reading, Verdegrand is a very humble pianist, but he is also extremely talented and one of the nicest and most intelligent people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
@VirtualHarmonies Well thanks a lot :) You can attribute the sound of this to Vincent's arranging, it sure is one of the more sophisticated arrangements I have seen and you can tell it was done by someone who actually knows about music itself (going further than 'just' playing an instrument). This would sound even better on a real grand. Let's see if that can be done in the future. And thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate them.
@Verdegrand Your so talented. I will always admire the notes that you hit in exact key. I will hope that one day my children will witness your music. Thanks for putting good music in my day! -Alice
Nice... I just taught myself how to play this song from the midi file that I had. This version is a little different than what I learned. I like yours better.
for some reason i am very not good at the left hand...because there are the double notes and i don't really know which of my finger should play what notes...so i can't keep up with the speed....
@lightsurge1 Hello, if you want, you can tell me which part exactly gives you trouble and I could look into the sheets and try to tell you the fingerings I used. It's been a while since I played this piece but I could give it a try. Greetings
@Verdegrand oh thanks...ya actually there are a lot of parts in left hands which i can't play it properly..so i was thinking if i can only play the lower notes of bass clef in the double note...and about the fingering if you can teach me a little maybe i could finish the rest of it..since the fingering i think it's more or less the same...because i just keep jumping my left hand and i can't play the correct speed.. anyway sorry for any bad english and hope you understand~ =) thx again.
@Verdegrand ok thanks..it's ok there's no need to rush...if you are busy then it's fine. But i'll still look forward to it anyway. Well if you think of something just reply me here =) . If you dun then it's ok too~. I'll keep practise to play this score this few days anyway.
@Verdegrand This and the Shevat, the wind is calling arrangement convinced me that you are no ordinary pianist. I wish I had your hands. Subscribed!
PS: Could you recommend me other great piano arrangers? Piano is such a great instrument to do arrangements, it's so versatile! I know of KyleLandry and zohar, but I want to check out the others.
@heyjo0205 Hello, thank you for your kind words and for your support :) As for other arrangers, Zohar is my favorite as well, but do check out RigorMortis999, his skill is high end and some of his arrangements are high end as well (I can't play them lol). My other favorite would be "Duke of Pianeet" who unfortunately isn't active on YouTube himself. But some people put up videos from him anyway (search for his "Aoi Tori Piano Solo"), he may be the best game music pianist I have ever seen.
Loved it loved it loved it. Really reminiscent of the Macalania Woods. Love your rendition and your playing, very smooth and natural. Your voicing is top notch.
I've seen about a dozen piano versions of this song, and in every other one, it looks like the player is having a hard time getting it all right, even if they do get it all right. I dunno, their hands look strained or something. While they might be good technical players, your hands look like they're doing what's coming naturally to them. You are a master.
Impressive arrangement. Really. Much more detailed than the other (official?) versions on youtube.
The performance recreates the ambiance of the original track from the game I close my eyes and Im in the Macalania Woods. Very authentic.
I took the sheets to my professor; she doesnt know anything about FFX but she fell in love with the small passage she sight-read, and stole my sheets :)
I will work on it. I know that behind the seemingly ease of execution lies hours of work.
there is no official version of this, all of you herd are fan made by ear as they lsiten to game song. the other people played poorly in comparison to this guy.
I've never had lessons, I've always learned to play by ear and I think that your ability may very well surpass me. But, I love this song, and I love to hear people play that are better then me because it motivates me to achieve more.
Thank you for your awesome video. Keep up the great work!
I have played the piano for 20 some years and have made my own Youtube vids playing the keys.
I always find that the music category on Youtube seems to get a lack of respect as far as rating and comments go. Lots of "views" but no ratings or comments.
I learned this song by ear and think it SO cool that the arranger of this tune commended you for playing it, when he said hes never heard anyone play his arrangement live. Very meaningful
very well done; i do play this song on piano too, but my version is a bit different - this one sounds much better.. i guess i have to learn this version now =p
Absolutely phenomenal! I am currently learning this arrangement and I can say that this is most definately a difficult song to play with such precision. Well done.
Lol I actually tried to play this too... It's SO HARD! I don't know how you manage to play this so smoothly and with such emotion lol, I struggle just following both hands (and I can play stuff like One Winged Angel piano collections... which I find a lot easier than this :o)
I've yet to find a flawed video from you, all of them are amazing. Almost feels like cyber stalking after watching several of your videos in a row. @_@
Also wanted to point out that at 2:12 where you lift your right hand, that was a very pianistic gesture. It totally personifies the idea of two hands playing a melody where notes may be repeated.
thanks for your comments! About the gesture, I didn't even notice it, but thanks for pointing that out! Shows to me that my teacher knew what he was doing :)
Amazing! I could never play it so flawlessly. You have clearly studied my score very closely. This is actually my first time hearing it played live so it was almost an unreal experience. It is like attending a reading session for composition class. Anyway, many thanks to you as well, and keep up the awesome work! Cheers.
Flawless. You could really show all the emotion of this song. Beautifully executed, Versions like these always makes me fell I should learn how to play the Piano.

I've never had lessons, I've always learned to play by ear and I think that your ability may very well surpass me. But, I love this song, and I love to hear people play that are better then me because it motivates me to achieve more.
Thank you for your awesome video. Keep up the great work!

Awesome job!
I have played the piano for 20 some years and have made my own Youtube vids playing the keys.
I always find that the music category on Youtube seems to get a lack of respect as far as rating and comments go. Lots of "views" but no ratings or comments.
I learned this song by ear and think it SO cool that the arranger of this tune commended you for playing it, when he said hes never heard anyone play his arrangement live. Very meaningful
You are awesome! Excellent job! 5+ stars :)

Absolutely phenomenal! I am currently learning this arrangement and I can say that this is most definately a difficult song to play with such precision. Well done.

Lol I actually tried to play this too... It's SO HARD! I don't know how you manage to play this so smoothly and with such emotion lol, I struggle just following both hands (and I can play stuff like One Winged Angel piano collections... which I find a lot easier than this :o)

I've yet to find a flawed video from you, all of them are amazing. Almost feels like cyber stalking after watching several of your videos in a row. @_@

Wow... I forgot how much I loved this piece in-game lol... thanks for that, a really smooth arrangement :)

Also wanted to point out that at 2:12 where you lift your right hand, that was a very pianistic gesture. It totally personifies the idea of two hands playing a melody where notes may be repeated.

Hello,
thanks for your comments! About the gesture, I didn't even notice it, but thanks for pointing that out! Shows to me that my teacher knew what he was doing :)

Amazing! I could never play it so flawlessly. You have clearly studied my score very closely. This is actually my first time hearing it played live so it was almost an unreal experience. It is like attending a reading session for composition class. Anyway, many thanks to you as well, and keep up the awesome work! Cheers.
