Hah, I'd love to see Justin Bieber do what you just did. Not a chance. But honestly, you've got amazing skills... Keep it up!! Also, happy new years!! May you have more blessings to come in 2012!!
I just saw your recent posting. It seemed a little self depracating.. if I got that right.
You are such an incredible spirit among us all. Please get over trying to be anything other than what you are. Just be you. And thank you, for sharing that with all of us.
I could listen to you all damn day and night. And I wish I could play piano at all - and really, I have a baby grand a little less then 20 feet from me!
Andrew, Happy Holidays, and I wish you the best in life.
I've been trying to learn this song and im currently a novice at the piano, (just learned how to play a few months ago) and I really can't wait till I can play at this speed.
Btw I have a question. Are there any finger exercises you do on the piano to get so quick or is it simply playing it over and over at a faster tempo every time until you get that good? It's ok if you can't answer but thanks anyway for the awesome vid.
@Centario13 Sorry if this is 3 weeks too late, but if you want exercises for your fingers look up "Hanon exercises", you can probably find a few of his exercises on a PDF or something of that sort, but if you can, it would be better to go to a music store and pick up a Hanon book or order one online.
Piano has been a desire of mine for an incredibly long time. Music has always been important to me, and I sing and am currently learning guitar, but I've always wanted to play piano. Chopin is probably my favorite composer, just behind Mozart and Beethoven, and this is my favorite piece by him. After seeing your lessons and this, I am determined to be able to play this someday. Persistence is the key with everything, and if music comes naturally, then why not? Thank you for the lessons.
@TKOG1220 You sound like me a couple of months ago, I'm not able to play most pieces on my M-Audio Keystation 88ess. I love being able to play a game and come across a soundtrack i love, look online for a MIDI file or music sheet and be able to play it and learn it so quickly!
@escherdrawinghands you cant be that poor if you have access to the internet ;) lol i have a cheap keyboard i upgraded from that i no longer use if you want it i can send it to you :)
I think this piece is given shallow treatment sometimes, but it is absolutely not a shallow piece when played by someone who "gets" it. You, my friend, obviously get it. You play with wonderful spirit.
I watched this video a number of times and still it mesmerizes me to see the way your fingers perform the most exquisite ballet. You would undoubtedly had made a great surgeon if not an artist.
I want to be just like you, I learned Fur Elise and showed it to my piano teacher and she was amazed because it was my first lesson. I love how it feels to play the piano and you helped me reach that point. Thank you Andrew Furmanczyk.
One word, 'You Are Amazing!' :) Wait a minute. Thats actually three words! God am just spellbound after watching this. You earned yourself a fan and an ardent follower. Keep doing what you best at brother! Man I am still not out of your spell! ;)
awesome playing... i like the sense of humor u portray... lot of musicians take themselves too seriously... u look like u enjoy whatever u do ... may it be forever!
Wow man you play really well.. Chopin would've referred you to Liszt ..lol He considered his music simplistic by comparison (as if) ... wonderful, thank you
I didn't think this song was possible to play. WOW. If I were him, I'd go into a steinway store dressed all scrubby and ask to play then blow their minds with this piece! Ahhh I'm jealous he can do that. haha
@tenstergo No no no... you have to feel determined! Not inferior. Anyone can do this if they put their mind to it and really put the time and effort in.
J'ai vu de bien meilleures interprétation de cette pièce. Ce n'était pas si mal, mais ne cherchons guère les erreurs du morceaux. Parlons plutôt de cette qualité de son exceptionnelle.
P.S. Ce n'est vraiment pas le meilleur morceau de votre répertoire.
Dear Lypur I didn't even care if you were going to mess up after 30 seconds, I clicked like as soon as you played one meter. I could tell instantly you know how to "really play piano". Unlike some people, who just hit the keys and that's it. Because you played with dynamics and chords with unique colors. You're an amazing Piano teacher and I hope you'll create an album and put as much creativity in it because I'll probably buy it, because usually I just download music for *cough ree Cheers.
You are getting good mate, keep at it! Try some youtube tutorials they really help.
