Piano Improvisation no7 - "Summers End"

[Osvah94]

omg I cant even describe this song, its just too awesome.

[MEVAsumare]

Is there anyway I can download these wonderful songs you're playing? I'd love to be able to listen to them at any time off my iPod.

[fierypiano]

@MEVAsumare Just give me your email I got like 130 mp3's of Kyle's youtube songs. His albums you will need to buy yourself, he deserves the money.

[TheTrancelator]

wow man, what a melody. i've been listening to this all day...great stuff

[nickybendix]

I must say the most impressive piano imrpovisation I have come across in many years....what a drive and what an imagination...what do you practice when you practice? I could imagine that you played some classical pieces "on the side" - wonderfull work!

[Madman7213]

That was by far the most beautiful and well played piano piece I have ever heard. I've been playing for 12 years and you are on a level that goes way beyond where i would ever imagine to be.. seriously look into publishing your work or going to Julaird or something...BRAVO

[ZakariSlocum]

Honestly Ive fallen in love with the playing, the graceful playing, If you liked guys, I would totally fall for you ahah

[iMacxXuserXx485]

XD lawl!!!

[ftwapoc]

ok listen kyle... me and you have to have a little talk about you making publishing some sheets. ur like sitting on a gold mine and keeping all the gold! remember this, sharing is caring. SO SHARE!

[Galaxy947]

You rock my world Kyle. I hope school lightens up more so you can grace us with more of your videos ;)

[LiiChinHo]

Hah, I've been watching most of your improvisations for awhile now and what do you know, I think I saved the best for last :]

[cyanz0r]

That was incredibly beautiful...

Yeah, someone's already mentioned this before, but the part from 6:00 to 6:25 sounds really Rachmaninoff-esque in my opinion. I read your earlier comments hahaha... its so awesome when you stumble upon a really sinister chord progression by pure accident!

I do that a lot... =P

[Johanmaximilian]

I think 1:35 to 1:55 is frikkin music history with 1:45 as one of the best things you ever made. Its so #¤"!#"!# cool, and i love everthing you put on youtube. Don't you ever stop making music.

(sorry if my english is bad, I'm from sweden ^^)

[Mizzodo]

Kan inte annat än hålla med ;)

[diegone65]

4:00 and 6:00 has been more than great... I mean EXELENT!!! thats absolutely amazing. I've been watching your videos and i can say you are doing absolutely great. I really like the way you modulate (harmony and rythm.

Contragrulations from Colombia

[noodles1fan]

you know its impossible to listen to your music without standing up.

[kittenkraze13]

Do you have a CD out that I could buy? :D

[itsnotwhylah]

WHOOAA. I'm speechless.

[thiskid089]

Kyle, I love and hate to hear you play. I love to because your songs sound so well put together and they are all amazing with different attitudes.

I hate to because I know no matter how long I play the piano...I will never be able to do anything near what you do. I mean, I can't even write a single measure that sounds good...and I've been playing for 5 years :(

[minorsincorporated]

Your playing is so traditional, yet it spawned and developed your own style of playing. Those keys are more like your friends rather than your puppets.

[iMacxXuserXx485]

I just said whatever and gave u a 10th thumbs up

[01Elvis01]

I can feel the influence of chopin in your improvisations, you are a great musician.

[IceNaraku]

6:05 - 6:25. amazing.. wow

[kylelandry]

Yeah, no7 has good stuff in it lol... I was a bad boy in the summer that's why...

[IceNaraku]

oh. i remember.

[Prosciuttto]

A brilliant improv. I almost wish the small transition/melody at 4:00 was expanded on for a while longer. Haunting.

[oungala666]

i love your music your amazing at piano ! congratulation !

[LonePianist3]

Ooh, I sense a bit of Autumn Rain at 3:06 though Autumn Rain was uploaded after this one lol. ^^

You could definitely turn this into a composition. Call it heroic or something. Sounds heroic to me...oh, how about "Heroic Polonaise?" Lol.

[kylelandry]

hehe

[LonePianist3]

Is this improv mainly played in Db major?

[kylelandry]

Eh, more of F minor and Eflat major, so more like 3 and 4 flat key sigs.

But after you get half way through it merges into Bflat minor which is 5 flats (d major), and it seems to stay in that way until about 6:25.

[LonePianist3]

Oh, I wasn't even close with guessing the keys.

F minor and E flat major ftw. Gotta love those scales. Same with B flat minor.

[xAmandine]

good luck today Kyle :)

[nugety]

wait hang on, improv means that you created a melody on the spot right?

[kylelandry]

The whole thing on the spot yeah.

[bsladek]

Boy this guy can really improvise well. He never hits a wrong note and keeps it interesting all the way....gotta say I'm a bit jealous

[kimmin1208]

you got me silent

this is a great piece of heart

rock on

and

keep it on

[Comeoutandplay44]

dear kyle,

Your music is so inspirational and i feel like i'm flowing through a thousand memories when i listen to you play. You are an excellent musician and i miss you anddddd i like your shorts!

Love,

Heidi

[kylelandry]

Thanks again Heidi.

[Kyoungeun]

i wonder how many subscribers he has so far?

anyways...man i love all your improvs. LIKE WHYY ARE THEY SO NICE!!!

it's good =) gonna fav 'em all =D

[linnyzito]

You are so skilled... O_O

It wouldn't surprise me if you were to take a bad melody and turn it into a beautiful piece of music unlike any other.

You seem to play with so much soul that I can hear the feeling when you play...

...Uh... In other words...

Smooth. Yeah.

[swingAE86]

do your compositions inspire your improvs or do your improvs inspire your compositions?

[roee1223]

you did it again =] well done!

umm.. kyle? did you see that your camera has delay? it never happened before... wired...

[niebur17]

All you fans who have not SUBSCRIBED, please

do. Let's all help Kyle get back his 10000+

community of subscribers that YouTUBE distroyed. DO IT NOW!

[niebur17]

WOW!!Fantastic improv. 5/5 Bravo!I loved the whole piece. Sounds like you are BACK, Kyle.

[MAnuciao79]

I like to see the piano shaking :-) Wow!

[Haephasto]

Once again: nice pants. Nice playing. 5 stars

[kylelandry]

I love my plaid shorts! I want more, but now it's getting cold.

[Patsquatch]

Be Spartan! I started making/wearing plad shorts over a decade ago before it was cool xD and yes, I do feel special about that lol

[Haephasto]

Well, they ARE cool, so :D I should buy some if I ever have the courage to wear anything shorter than 3/4, but that's a whole different story.

[IceNaraku]

yeah i loved the part from 6:00 - 6:25. Nice there kyle.

[kantalope]

i am just starting to be able to improvise and I know i have to work a lot harder to catch up.

[LatePianist]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE! 6:00 - 6:25! 8:12 - end ^_^ That was exhilarating! Thats why I love your playing so much. When you have such moments of musical brilliance, I am reminded so strongly why I have stayed in touch with you all this time. You are a fountain of inspiration. 5 stars buddy.

[kylelandry]

That's my favorite part, it's so dissonant and not like me... also the 2 chords I used for when it gets faster were weird to be put together. I was playing E minor, then Db major... isn't that weird? Lol. it was an accident, but I kept using those 2 chords back and forth because it sounded evil.

[XmusicXisXmyXairX]

Oh wow, I LOVE 1:45-2:15, and alot of other spots, but I was too mesmerized to keep track. .___. Amazing job, thanks for making it long so I didn't have to play it 3 times haha.

[animalmother1065]

bravo... 'tis some gangsta-ass shit right here. keep up the great improvs... cheers...

[whovick]

no... g sharp...

[kylelandry]

I don't think so lol. There's a lot of everything. I do remember it starts AND ends in F minor, and there is one theme in Ab major. There's a couple E flat minor part too... I'm trying to recall without watching it.

[whovick]

i see i see. such interesting chord changes. how the hell do you come up with that stuff without any theory. a gift. you do use a lot of fifths though eh?

[kylelandry]

Guess and check, and sometimes in improvs like these, I just get lucky with the chord changes :p

[whovick]

did you play that mainly in D flat?

[niebur17]

Everyone..SUBSCRIBE to Kyle556 NEW ACCOUNT "kylelandry". SUPPORT him and help get his

9000+ subscribers back that YouTube wiped out when they suspended his old account.

[rhcp31]

You should name this piece 'The life of a Youtube pianist'. Go through it bit by bit and it appears to represent your Youtube career. A slow and serene start...building to Stunning moments (featured vid) and stormy moments (the letters re copyright)...it builds and builds until then sadness...but then ends on a bright note...which of course is your new account growing....lol how sad am i! HA!

[ThePuddingMan]

Wow, I really need to learn how to improvise. Are there any tips, or things that helped you learn to improvise so well? Scales? Chords? etc.?

Great job. You are our modern day Chopin.

[MikeyP137]

impressive..but not that impressive..it has too many whatever it's called when you play the same note on two different octaves at the same time...but not bad

[TheIshter]

It's called an octave and used to build up a theme in a piece. That's how I use it anyways.

[elvenchamp]

it's a chord but often he also is hitting keys in the center which make playing it accurately much harder and there's more to think about when your playing if you choose to use a chord instead of single note so it's more impressive with the chords.

[maudify]

cont: Hopefully they will find that they made a mistake, and give you back to us! 3: Do you take requests? >.<

I would like to request three songs:

1. Oh Holy Night (Christmas song)

2. The Holly and the Ivy (I think this is Christmas too)

3. Bridge over troubled water (Simon and Garfunkel)

Thank you so much for filling my ears with such wonderful music for the past two days. I could listen to your music forever.

PS. Do you have a CD coming out? I would be the first to buy!

[maudify]

Hi Kyle! I must start out by saying that you are truly talented and amazing. I have been playing piano ever since I can remember (self-taught) and I could never even *dream* of being as good as you are. You are truly gifted, and I can only aspire to be like you someday! Second, I am sorry what happened to your account, that's a bummer =/

cont...

[micahblu]

Genius! You should make an album. I for one would buy it.

[subz6]

improvisations don't require music scores

[kylelandry]

Those are just my chopin books, I didn't look at them while I was making the video of course. They were there because I was practicing previously.

[Ansel989]

guess who's in a university wahhwhwahwah...not that it matters ... I truly don't have anything to say I'm just writing to pass the time, feel free to not reply? life's mysteries... this song makes you think, what will happen to life... inspirational music... yep this is the stuff you do at 3 minutes... please take this seriously!!

[Ansel989]

ohh on an extra serious note, I love your harmonies and how you have a melody on the right hand and your left hand is doing its thing and then they combine to do something then go into great moving chords then back to melody on right hand and left hand harmonizing... great stuff ^O^

[Strunz21LEON]

That was beautiful, thanks for such a nice music.

[MatthewCepican]

Brilliant! -Matthew Cepican A&R Vesuvius Records

[HsfK]

muy bien! me encanta, podrias transcribirla a una partitura, porque seguro que a muchos les gustaria tocarla!

[xxshizuka89xx]

Omigosh, that was simply stunning! I love how you managed to turn the somewhat sinister tone to the music at early 6mins to the brighter, more hopeful tone later in the middle! And the tremolando you did! Can I borrow your hands for my grade 8 exams? Just once, pretty please? >.<

[nandoo90]

¡¡¡¡impresonante¡¡¡¡¡

[ProductPlacer]

You are great! I bet if I eat more Skippy peanut butter I could play the piano half decently.

[123DERVISH]

Wow! You play beautifully. I like it. Did you improvise this song?

[joe042293]

It's called, "Piano Improvisation no7" so I'm thinking yeah, he did.

[KaliAngelsMuse1]

Beautiful!

[tdubasdfg]

genious

[caseybarrett]

beautifull.

[LongDriveChamp03]

what key did you write that in? it looks like your playing in either C Sharp minor or g sharp major.

[kylelandry]

Many different keys.

[fantasykingdom1227]

Wow!

[Tuftaffety]

WOW!

Do You wtite stuff down ever?

You're amazing.

Do you have to be really well versed in theory to improv like that?

[kylelandry]

Not at all seeing I don't know theory =)

[Tuftaffety]

Then you must be a musical genius then.

[niebur17]

Kyle, I am so grateful to see you back to your old self. Wow! Over 9 minutes and most beautiful. What

a fantastic improvisation. I love the dynamics, mood changes, emotions and tempo variations all in one awesome composition. Sounds like you are really back

at it. Thank God. Good luck.

[ivrykeys]

Kyle,

It is too bad that an incredible piano player like you got banned. You give many people something to look up to!

[xAmandine]

9 minutes Kyle, thank you! Sheer beauty, and of a new and different kind. Like the great romantics you have this wide range stretching from the most humble and soft to the heavily stormy and grand. I like it when you think big and go for it so courageously whithout hesitation, like with no secure boundaries but almost on the edge of what you can do.This approach will certainly make you move forward all the time.

[chilipepper135xoxo]

I couldn't help but get scared of you around 4:35, 6:10, and 8:45... have you ever seen the movie "Idle Hands" :O?

I loved it though, really did.

[yemsta]

This is the way to go kyle post more, gain back all the suscribers and come back strong. Beautiful piece, any particular inspiration behind it

[JasonJRY]

this is whats amazing!!! your long pieced impros :D

[pipotzescu]

yeah, at first i said not so cool but as the song played i changed my mind in wow this is beautifull indeed

[Mozart282]

koolness

[Janzah]

Wow. you built this song up amazingly. There was great tension in and also alot of softness and varietion. I think there were very many different songs put together in a very logical way. That was great of you.

How long did you practice this? Like, I mean, you can't just make all these parts up in a second?!..

xoxo a musician from a very different level!

[kylelandry]

lol thats what improv is all about, composing on the spot.

[Maxtreme1]

r u posting naruto themes again!?

[peacock43]

Wow. Just wow. Wish I were you.

[pradiptamullick]

Thank you.

[malchikgej]

you deserve a cookie!

[jivjago]

Wow, that was amazing. Definitely one of my favorites. There was a whole story playing out in my head as I was listening. Way to come back stronger and stronger. Chin up, and good luck.

[TwilightFayte]

amazing...

[sweetie3988]

This is definitely your best improv yet. It's the most beautiful and original piece I've heard yet! I love it. And thank you!

[TheIshter]

It's like you're pushing me to be my best on the piano. Granted, I've only played for 4 years, and you have twice the experience, so it's given that I wouldn't be as good. But man, it's hard to put into words.

I know the feeling where it's not as important to self, but different to the viewers.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who you inspired, but from a piano player to a piano player, it's a great thing for me to experience.

Keep it up Kyle.

[TheIshter]

Inspiring!! Jesus.

Do you ever think your improvs. as compositions?

I have nothing to say really. Speachless. The creativity is amazing. You're inspiring me the way no other piano player can, to the point that I have to try the chords and melody that I just heard.

And just to note, I'm still practicing your White Sun. Hope to get a video soon with a new piano after I come back from Canada.

[breehernandez]

and i miss your 2 paragraph long "about video" things..... no sarcasm. lol. i know its not the point of the video but regardless

i think you should write them again...

:)

[breehernandez]

sigh. i loved it. i got goosebumps.

good sign.

[sxeflapjack]

AWESOME performance! Without a doubt your most art-ish and original improv. Love it! Thank you kyle. :)

[blaze14220]

I saw the sheets getting moved by the wind, and got a bit scared, lol. I thought the dynamics in this improv was great. Another great video. :)

[gonefishin90210]

ooo.

very nice.

i think it's your best improv yet.

i told a few of my classmates about you.

so you'll have a few more subscribers soon!

toodles.

[l0gically]

Great performance! I'm curious - if you were going to buy a new digital piano, what you would get?
