I have never seen a more perfect, flawless attempt at a final fantasy piano piece. At some points I was almost certain I was listening to Distant Worlds.
This piece really seemed like a conclusion of the entire adventure (multiple prominent themes throughout the game together in one).. It's pretty sad because it felt like it was a "goodbye" to FFIX, sort of like the feeling of closing up a book that you loved reading so much that you wish it never ended.
Kyle I've been watching your videos like nonstop these past few days ever since I discovered them on Saturday. They are simply amazing and all of them bring back such fond memories, but none so much as this. FF9 always had a special place in my heart because it was the first final fantasy I played when I was around 7 years old. Thank you for this song. And may I ask how long have you been playing the piano for? I'm pretty sure you kick every music teacher I had ass in piano playing lol.
This is probably a dumb question, but did Nobuo Uematsu(hope I spelled that right) write the music for ff IX? Also, nice job! Amazing work. Love your vids!
The most underrated piece of all FFs. It was only once played in a symphonic version and some violin players in that orchestra were definitely drunk :( Though, for some wierd reason it's not fun to play it after you've perfected it - I've nearly forgotten it.
So... you have not played FF before? You really should give it a try (probably one of 7-10)! That is... if yo ever find yourself having that much extra time on your hands :]
It's a difficult piece, and you managed to convey the depth of emotion that needed to get across. It brought back the times where I could sit for a whole day and play FFIX. Great job.
To those who were putting him down: No one is perfect. Musicians aren't any different and they struggle to continually belittle themselves in order to become better. They don't need your help to see that more needs to be done. It's a self-deprecating job. Offer advice instead of belittlement.
oh how i tried to play the middle part of this bloody song and ive been practising the same part for like about a month now and still fail.... you make it look too easy
where did u find this sheet music? D: D: D: i wanna ATTEMPT to try learning it! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL! and the way u play is like....zomgggg way too proo xD remember where u found it? D: i can only find the mp3 >_<
Wow. I stood up and clapped. IX is my favorite game because it was so amazing on every level. Part of the appeal was (and still is) the timeless pieces of music Mr. Uematsu composed. Very well done sir, very well done. Thank you for playing, I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel!
You play the 2:15 part quite differently from the piano collections version: faster and more staccato-ish. Was that a conscious decision? Great performance, as always!
it's really not fair how you can make this piece look so easy. and Nobuo Uematsu is a musical genius obviously, 1:37-2:03 is my absolute favourite part, it's so unique sounding. keep it up man.
mmm... I can perfectly recall the ending scene with this playing in the background XD
The other song I like the most in FF IX is the song that's played at the "dagger's haircut scene"... unfortunaly it's a very short one... i wish Uetmatsu would've composed a longer version of that song...
@Arkton Thank you Mr. Arkton! It took me a little while to get the middle section to work. Each hand has to be independent enough to play at a fast tempo alone for it to work huh?
@kylelandry Indeed, only then it works. I have always struggled with that part. And yet, it is such a beautiful and lively section, it's worth the effort!
So... what were you discussing before? I've never heard Yiruma before but going by what has been written I guess I'll listen to him a little. This sounded great by the way, haven't heard the original but... flawless.
Kyle alot of people are telling you they are in need of a classical piece. You can do alone o a duet with matt on the song Rachmaninoff piano concerto #2 NODAME CANTABILE style in that episode they are practicing in school and play the dueto.
please answer my comment kyle i have been a loyal fan but ive never gotten an answer on my comments b4
I MISS YOU KYLE!!!! we need to hang out now that I'm not messed up on post- surgical drugs. I still can't walk but we can watch anime and make fun of BA.
hah love the yiruma vs kyle controversy. personally i think kyle wins hands down lolz but thats just me. Hey Kyle!!!! you should make a cover for lightnings theme!!!!!!! the rest of the world and i would love you forever!!
Oh I love this song! it reminds me of the play "I want to be you canary". That was a really fun part af the game huh? Is this song in the 110 version of piano collections because i cant seem to find all the songs in my book. There are too many! It stinks!
*sigh* I personally love Final Fantasy IX, and it makes me sad. well, to see how little coverage it gets. The piano collections already don't get enough love, too.
The piece is very beautiful, and of course, the arranging job is sometimes better, sometimes worse than the original. This is one of those pieces where the arrangement is quite different from the original, but I feel it's an improvement. Kind of like the difference between Besaid Island and its piano part.
Yiruma writes great music, of course, but he just hasn't written music over a broad range of genres and emotions (especially) as Nobuo. Well, it's hard to compare a composer for piano with one that writes for orchestra.
@spookyman89 lol nice. btw your so right... kyle landry's song is officially perfect.and so is he!!! i really can't find a flaw, and it isn't because i don't know him lol
I think you should do "Concert Paraphrase On Dearly Beloved"....Thumbs up if you agree!!!
Amazing piece that is rarely played though its beautifull because it tells an amazing story as you said... I didn't think you'd do this one, what intrigued you to do this one? Because it was a very pleasant surprise ^_^... Thanks!!!
@magicturbo9 it probally would be rather good however, kyle has done dearly beloved many times for youtube. i think the majority of audiences would like something a little more surprising than another dearly beloved. NOT saying howevery it would be totally awesome and imspiring and just jaw dropping but thats not the point. :)
@craigsthedude If You listen to this "Dearly Belved" version Im pretty sure this one is particularily more difficult and largely different while still holding the same scented beautiful sound... Idk... I think it'd be a great piece to hear from him =D
thanks for Awesome music.... and for the peeps arguing... well.. all I know is FF is a game of sorts... and Kyle is an AWESOME Pianist... I come here to listen and see him play what HE wants to play and how HE interprets the music... everything else is Unimportant...
I don't know if I can come with wishes, but I've been following you for quite a while now, and it would be awesome if you possibly could play some Ludovico Einadui =)<3
For some reason this really didn't seem to catch emotions very well.. It just seemed like.. Good playing. Thats all. Still thumbs up worthy though :p.
If I'm not mistaken, you played this as written. Which is by no means a bad thing, Mr. Uematsu's arrangement is always awe-inspiring, but I go to Kyle Landry to hear amazing improvs and embellishments. But you still interpret written music extraordinarily well all the same.
@metalhawj I think the reason I like X-2's is because it seems to stray further away from the game's melody than the other piano collections. But I would say VI's is one of the better ones.
In the cases where people bash one musician, favor another, etc, it all comes down to the old saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Each person has a different musical background. And that background is what makes people love a certain type of music. Yiruma appeals to the musically-declined, as in they do not know how to play an instrument (*cough this is why crappy songs are popular*) so they wouldn't understand at all from a musical plane of listening that it sucks.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
kyle. you are awesome but please stop trash talking yiruma. you are certainly entitled to an opinion but that doesnt mean you have to throw it around all the time. you are both GREAT. his style is just different. his music doesn't show off chops as much as yours, which is ok. his music is more melodicly driven. not that your music lacks melody. see what i'm saying here? you are both great and there's no need to be bashing each other. you dont see him ripping on your music do you?
you know, i actually agree with you. tho, both have great music. i prefer nobuo over yiruma. i actually think he is over rated and nobuo is under rated :P
@kylelandry and i do have to agree that Nobuo has some distinguishing features that make his music stand out more. However Kyle, these are two different styles of music no? Orchestra vs piano? IMO, you can have a lot less limitations with orchestration.
@kylelandry well kyle, first i must say, thank you for replying. cool to be communicating with you, one of my favorite musicians, but unfortunate this is what we're talking about. again, I'm not criticizing you. Yiruma's music may be repetetive, but does it lack emotion? I think not. And I think alot of people would agree that Nobuo is better than Yiruma, but Yiruma has nothing to do with this video and there is no need to be comparing him to Nobuo. But I dont want this to become a huge argument
@thisiskellen Didn't really see him bashing him. Yiruma uses the same chord progressions repeatedly in his songs, while Nobuo mixes his songs up and keeps them interesting.
I love how you have the same oppinion about Yiruma as me haha!

@DarkEclipse702 Uematsu didn't arrange this, he composed it, and Shiro Hamaguchi arranged it for piano collection.

Never much of a fan of 9's piano collection. I'd say X-2 is easily the best piano collection, even though Nobuo had nothing to do with it.

@sushlet VI and VIII had some of the best overall music imo
metalhawj 1 year ago
@metalhawj I think the reason I like X-2's is because it seems to stray further away from the game's melody than the other piano collections. But I would say VI's is one of the better ones.

In the cases where people bash one musician, favor another, etc, it all comes down to the old saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Each person has a different musical background. And that background is what makes people love a certain type of music. Yiruma appeals to the musically-declined, as in they do not know how to play an instrument (*cough this is why crappy songs are popular*) so they wouldn't understand at all from a musical plane of listening that it sucks.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
kyle. you are awesome but please stop trash talking yiruma. you are certainly entitled to an opinion but that doesnt mean you have to throw it around all the time. you are both GREAT. his style is just different. his music doesn't show off chops as much as yours, which is ok. his music is more melodicly driven. not that your music lacks melody. see what i'm saying here? you are both great and there's no need to be bashing each other. you dont see him ripping on your music do you?

@thisiskellen All I said was Nobuo is better than Yiruma, how is that bashing? At least Nobuo has melodic content as well as substance.

agreed

@kylelandry and i do have to agree that Nobuo has some distinguishing features that make his music stand out more. However Kyle, these are two different styles of music no? Orchestra vs piano? IMO, you can have a lot less limitations with orchestration.

@kylelandry yeah. you're interpretation. My Bad.
ninjasushi08 1 year ago
@kylelandry well kyle, first i must say, thank you for replying. cool to be communicating with you, one of my favorite musicians, but unfortunate this is what we're talking about. again, I'm not criticizing you. Yiruma's music may be repetetive, but does it lack emotion? I think not. And I think alot of people would agree that Nobuo is better than Yiruma, but Yiruma has nothing to do with this video and there is no need to be comparing him to Nobuo. But I dont want this to become a huge argument

@thisiskellen Didn't really see him bashing him. Yiruma uses the same chord progressions repeatedly in his songs, while Nobuo mixes his songs up and keeps them interesting.
