Michael Nyman - The Promise (piano cover)

[22Unlucky]

I´ve been looking for a real "The heart pleasure first" video...I see the title "The promise"..do click...and wonder that is "The heart ask..." All people in youtube are wrong about both parts and confuse them.

[december444]

wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bardz­o podoba mi się Twoja wersja tego utworu, it`s amazing and so so beautiful :)

[Il0v3Sp0ng3b0b]

Music sheets available?

[rexandlef]

You play wonderfully! You made me miss my piano. I used to play by ear too; its a talent. Keep it up :)

[chuycho9]

It is one of the Michael Nyman's best pieces.

Amazing! 

[Snrby]

Dude, nice work. Seen many people strugle with this piece of music. Well done.

[annaprincedance]

beautiful, well done, my son can play any song just by listening to it, you are very gifted x x x

[nokesy56]

wow thats awesome!! just was wondering what grade you think this is ? thanks XD

[andext]

Wonderful! I love the ay you play this song. Very good job.

[ranchgoddess]

OMG!! I'm exhausted just watching you do this!!! GREAT JOB!! Thanks for making the video!!! Ignore the nay-say'ers...they are just jealous because the only thing they can play is the RADIO!!! They are frustrated pimpled kids that sit on their computer and gripe all day long to a screen... AMAZING JOB!!

[thawagner]

Very well done

[smpsn]

please dont tell me ur asian. -_-

[IFrancyISantosI]

could you do it in better quality again?

[Sourcecode01]

not bad, but your not playing it correctly :)

[spasticjawstrung]

@Sourcecode01 It's not the same as the original. that doesn't mean it's not correct.

[IceCreamx3x3]

awesome <3

[Salinchen32]

Can you give me the sheets please? You playing so goooood :) My Emailadress: business-webel@web.de Thank you!

[ThinkingChristian29]

If you like this piece, you may like my latest composition. Just search "La force et la faiblesse austin" and click first video.

[anatureperson]

It almost sounds like you are rushing through it a bit...

otherwise, I wouldn't know the difference between the original and you... great..

[Caldarian]

Incredible, such depth and feeling. I salute you.

[Candyholic000]

seriously? Thats just too amazing...

[Sprey]

jesus christ! at least show a little sign of struggle so i dont feel like a complete failure!

[Dash902101]

BEAST MODE OFF (ON)

[monica6497]

wow i like it so much

especially the left hand and the last part

it's so amazing!!!!!

[EvaNomNomity]

You don't know how long I've been trying to play this song, and then I see this and you do it so fluidly, so effortlessly. I have to admit I'm super jealous. xD

[emoOHhxXHhiItTHhAa]

I love it! *_*

[Jeniferbardt]

perfect :D

[crich555]

This is just simply better than the original.  I have spent the last 6 months learning this song. I used this video along with others to get an idea of how it should be played, and now as i revisit this video I realize how good it is. Michael Nyman would be proud.

[Ostrimus]

my favority sound =D

[elmoluver1987]

thats amazing that you played it by ear! well done :)

[speshlk84]

that's quite impressive that it's done by ear, but if you're familiar with the actual song, this is painful to listen to and even more painful to watch

[XyelleX]

@speshlk84 Indeed, the right hand is more difficult than he plays ...

[feny1001]

This song is so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes.

[agascras]

Hello friend... excelent interpretation!!!.... it's beautiful.

congratulations!

[liuliuluv68]

lol i can tell you played it by ear, there weren't many chords in the right hand. i think i like this one better than the original!!

[Lederhosenjango30]

außergewöhnlich gut!

[Whisperlands]

Wow! I play it with sheet music, and I must say that your interpretation is VERY good. You've got an excellent ear.

[takeonme79]

I'd pay you to write the notes down for me! How much do you want?

[carbonj123]

thumbs um for Nico Bellic I The Greatest :D

[crystal77787]

This is beautiful. :) Your VERY talented. Can you please make a tutorial?

[xfraq]

buena interpretacion !!!

[fudmuffin92]

nice version :)

[Mixtrix22]

You, my dear sir, are AWESOMEEEEE! :D

[yvref]

I read some comments and was expecting something brilliant. Unfortunately, it's very inaccurate and it doesn't sound nearly as good as the original. Lots of notes are out of key... I was disappointed.

[giovanninaaaaaa]

@yvref it's a cover... that means it does not have to sound exactly like the original piece... I found it brilliant (though inaccurate) and very good!

ps. sorry for the english, maybe uncorrect... I'm italian

[sweetjayden1]

I played the piano during my entire pregnancy and now my 3 month old LOVES to hear it! Thank you.



[sweetjayden1]

I played the piano during my entire pregancy and now my 3 month old LOVES to hear it! Thank you.

[o0KJura0o]

thank you that was great, i hope you will keep interpretating

[CherryBlossom147]

This.....is so amazing! It seriously takes my breath away! Best cover of this I've heard!

I'm slowly beginning to play this by ear -it's extremely difficult, so I'm absolutely gobsmacked at how long you must have spent learning and practicing this to get it as perfect as you have done, so a big Well Done to you!!

[MGranadomusic]

2:05 to 2:15 the variation that you do with your feeling its amazing congratulation never heard saome tham good version special the final that we mansionit congratz

M Granado Music & Entertainsers Crew

[joueuse24]

I've never heared something so wonderful...

Better than original version!

Wish you good luck

[sunlight3009]

i think your version is better than the original

[mirabellebee]

I like your version too! The original one is quite different, however, yours is very good too!

[drumline064]

Definitely good for by ear but you gotta split up the bass part. Your treble is too light. U hit many of the same notes but just overloaded with the bass cleft. I played by ear with some guidance from the sheet music and I learned how nyman really dies even out both hands

[satanicmethod]

in my opinion you're young 16-17 years old....you have a lot of dex...so, you're talented man!!!!! Great interpretation:)

[Axel4404]

WONDERFUL!!!

[motropolismc]

Uau, muito belo... tenho esse filme, parabéns

[fujixryo]

nice arrange!

[norecuerdominombre]

LOVE IT!! its amazing...it's not the original (everyone knows) but sounds PERFECT, the perfect cover i've seen!

[vanutra]

Wow :)

[TomOrvolosonITA]

how many years you have to study the piano to be able to play this song?

[memphetic]

@TomOrvolosonITA A couple of months. Just set out with the goal to learn the song YOU WANT TO LEARN.

[Betherspawn]

spiele das anders...

[TheHammerisemily]

@Betherspawn Also ich finde es super schoen, auch wenn es nicht *ganz* wie das Orignal klingt. Einfach toll.

[senoritalares]

Very nice how you play. It is beutiful.

[amaya365]

you got so much talent.....

[Cinek3run]

Its Insane how u play completely different than it realy is in sussposed to be,

and it still sounds similiar and VERY GOOD Oo sick dude, hats of :D

[AirplanesD]

Fantastic!

[No3Patriot]

this is the next best thing to the original!

[frank2398]

Wow!



[sylsof]

[TheFantasticHarry]

I love your new version, congratulations!

[xSamouche]

Yamaha la meilleure marque de piano *-*

C'est super beau ! Et j'ai hate de pouvoir faire ce morceau sur un piano comme le tiens.

Bravo encore !! J'aime !

[SKYVOLTAGE]

[akenkel10]

[Mariam616191]

Amazing good!!! 

[BelindaMeek]

[blessthefalllover1]

[Equiinoxe170295]

C'est juste MAGNIFIQUE!! J'adore <3 Gavade totale =) C'est en voyant des gens jouer comme ca qu'on se dit qu'on a encore beaucoup de chemin a faire!!

[viperlikescat]

i like your version very much. very good quality!:-)

[geckotamia]

yeah, it's very good :) but I think you must acorde your piano :)

[sunlight3009]

great! u r genius)

i wish i could play like that

[sableghost]

Your hands are like spiders dancing across the keys!

[thetinowashere]

i ike it dude ^_^ awesome.

[chucklds]

Awesome cover of a superb tune--Great work. Can't wait to hear what you do next.

[aradioactivedonut]

this would be usefull if you were trying to fit the song onto a n64 game. other than that, useless.

[Gaia287]

dude its more complex than the orig. :) thats some awesome talent you have

[fairtradeandy]

I really like this version. I usually post comments on martial arts videos, but this was so good it I just had to say "WAY FUCKING COOL AND TOTALLY AWESOME!"

[fridaybrown]

Personally, I think it sounds very good, albeit not the original, but your own interpretation, music should be constantly challenged and manipulated, otherwise we never discover new styles etc. Great job!

[Nashley1000]

Sounds great!

[dtoma555]

Your videos are awesome but sometimes sheets make for a better performance of such a classic masterpiece as this one

[lauraneville]

Actually I used to play the original from the score...and I like this better!! Excellent job

[uploooood]

people who say this song he is playing right is not the same as the original then screw you because i think this guy put alot of practice and effort in playing this song.

i relly like good effort man...

[ericmixmasterwilliam]

your close man i know how it is when it come to learning by ear

[DEsteban11]

wat r u talking about they sound the same but yea playing it is hard

[TheLostDemocracy]

The left handed version of a great original, I guess. It sound very good, and I would like to play this version some time, and maybe blend it with the original. That would do the trick, in some parts.

[JohnnyVa7]

It's very good for an piece played by ear. But if you try the real version, it won't be so easy to play it that fast ;)

[chelasca]

Is a great performance!!! congratulations from Argentina.

If do you know how said in Argentina when a people is very good in something

"es un mostro"... ja ja ja!!!!

will be a "you are a monster"....

best regards

[robbin1996]

Beautifull.. did you make an arangement or did you try to learn it by ear??

[dramistu]

good, it sounds beautiful! :)

[joel6189]

excelente interpretación :D

[StuffPlayCeleste]

ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhh

i wish i can play like that..

[oOschibumschibumOo]

you have the music notes of this song? ... and where did you finde it . ? .. i don`t finde it .. ): .

you play fantastic . really . <3

[Pianopod]

♫ ♥ ♫ Beautifully played! ♫ ♥ ♫

[chubble101]

his left hand movement in this song is absolutely insane!!! . its aweseome

[Timephases]

@chubble101 Well,

If he is left-handed, than it is easier for him than it look for us x)

Anyway, there is nothing that can replace practice :)

An applause for him! It was excellent.

[rosebelforth71]

.you have a great talent.magnificent!!!

[CarnivalBox]

I find it really cool that you made all that out of ear!

But you do know that there are sheets for the song, right? BTW, i just finished learning it :DDDDDD

[jeve9500t]

here can i get the piece? I wanna try playing it...

[cabinetmischief]

Played very fluently, welldone. :)

[mickypoo4622]

Your peformance is extraordinary. You obviously have a very special and natural gift. The shape of your hands fingering those notes was almost like watching two singers mouthing the two parts together in harmony. It's a beautiful piece and, sadly, one which I will never be able to play, yet appreciate by those who can. Thank you for letting us share your talent.

[wampa093life]

davvero bravo ...

[bagerbuch]

[magicprophecy]

[0MadeleineMcCann0]

That's not the right way :L

[tenorsrfun]

[draculauploader]

Only one correction that I notice on 0.37 your 3d chord is wrong when you play Am G (F) D it's Am G Am and D.

You play way different, but this song is hard to learn by ear if you play the origional (what I am trying now:P)
