[TheMimosin60]

tocas muy bien adoroo esta cancion

[lore264]

I absolutely LOVE the part from 0:42 to 1:14, it seems as if your hands -that were so far from each other at first- move slowly and suspiciously just to get together in the end. I can hear the violins playing in my head while you're playing as well. It's just breathtaking!

[sofikkisun]

woawwww... this is so much my favorite music play. and the movie... !!!

[NameIsThangTa]

i could listen to you playing and watch this movie all day long >_<

[sofikkisun]

@NameIsThangTa me too ... :3 maybe every one want, who watch it

[Rose2945]

SIMPLISMENTE LINDO................

[hmans0515]

I am obsessed with this song and movie!!!!!!!

[tennisgirl401]

@hmans0515 Omg mee too!! The movie was AMAZING (although my friends thought it was lame) and the music is so beautiful!

[xisabellamarieswan45]

i hope a day i'll play that like you, it's beautifuly beautiful

[andreiitax3]

I looovee thiss soong and its not that hatd but i think bringing feeling to it is hard

[ZombieSushy]

for people who cant play with 2 hands i suggest.. like for me i listen to the song alot so its in my head so when i start to play i know the sounds :)

[aldys92]

it was seem easy :$

[sarahmichalik96]

=)



[andrea1008able]

wow!!!!! its amazing!!!! i can´t do it

[smaneesint]

I made this comment just to hear you play again easily =) 0:00

[redvelvetdrops]

i cannot listen to this piece without tearing up..beautiful

[stephh1243]

amazing



[Federico84]

i can't play with both hands at the same time :(

[bbdhrggl]

@Federico84 play with two hands, as SLOWLY as possible. Use a metronome. when you do not make mistakes, increase the tempo just a tiny bit. repeat this process until you can play at tempo. the brain will make new neurons. this is not a beginner's piece though.

[RUAmplified]

I dont get it, I have the music sheet of this composition but I didn't see a sign that suggest I should use the black keys

[bbdhrggl]

@RUAmplified perhaps yours is in C major.This has two flats in the key signature.

[RUAmplified]

@bbdhrggl oh.. ok thanx!! now I have to learn what a c major is!! :D

[bbdhrggl]

@RUAmplified search for my tutorial "major scales and how to practice". follow that with the C major one. have fun.

[RUAmplified]

Dario Marianelli is a genius! When I hear this music I actually see and feel Elizabeth on the edge of that cliff!!

[vickybicky135]

thankyou! :D

[claudiagescaec]

LA KAGO ME ENCANTAAAAAA ** I like it very much , I will practice my childhood ´s lessons right now

[snickers631]

i am a HUGE fan

thank u sooo much for uploading these videos they r really very helpful

:)

[frida07wellington]

i wanna cry!!!!

[HREsama]

my eyes. full of tears

[ifoundoutatzeropoint]

What's the easiest way to learn this? i've been studying piano for about two years and i'm trying to tackle this piece. It's so difficult but i find it challenging to me.

[TheMoonArtist]

Technical, it was great, but I would suggest as you break out in to the chromatic-based chorus, you play crescendo.

[zmlm94]

I'm self taught, and i can play untill the gva with some/little difficulty, what level does that make me?

[bbdhrggl]

@zmlm94 the hardest piece you can sight-read (w/o much difficulty) indicates your level.

[oooohblondiexo]

How long does it take to get this good? I'm 20 years old and I want to learn sooo badly!!!

[bbdhrggl]

@oooohblondiexo this is classical music, Beethoven style. To get good takes about 5 yrs. practice 1 hr/day, that includes15 minutes of scales and arpeggios. Learn 2 (appropriate level*) new pieces per week: baroque (Bach style), and romantic (Chopin style).

*if you can sightread through the entire piece w/o too much difficulty, it is the appropriate level for you

[oooohblondiexo]

@oooohblondiexo Thank you for responding :) 5 years isn't too bad and I'd probably practice more than an hour a day. Thank you!

[bennetgirls]

I absolutly love your tutorials! Thank you so much for this one!! But there is one other that I cannot seem to find and was wondering if you might want to create one? Its called 'the living sculptures of pemberley' it is from pride and prejudice and it did not seem to difficult...? Thank you so much though for all of your other videos!! They are truly amazing!

[bbdhrggl]

@bennetgirls plz see profile re requests :)

[Stollieregie]

I´ve done it =) with sheets and your help! 

[garvigujratan]

beautiful. i wish i had your skills.

[GenesisMedinaa]

This is probably the best ive seen being played on youtube!

[SVAFnemesis]

what do you mean by level 6? a difficulty of ABRSM grade 6?

[bbdhrggl]

@SVAFnemesis It is a new rating scale: MSMDP. Huh???

MSMDP = Monkey See Monkey Do Piano :)

The Level corresponds to the number of years of piano playing, it is this monkey's estimate.

E.g. Level 6 = six years of serious playing, not just dabbling

[SVAFnemesis]

@bbdhrggl I'm gonna challenge this with my only 3 week skill

[bbdhrggl]

@SVAFnemesis good luck. this monkey will be impressed

[pianolelie]

@SVAFnemesis Good luck! I think you can do this piece with 3 week skill with lots of practice (=. I wanted to play this song so much, and with 1 day piano experience I was so proud of myself that I've learned how to play this song in a few weeks with very much practice. You can do this ^^!

[bbdhrggl]

@pianolelie wow, i am impressed. but you guys, don't hurt your hands, okay?

[pianolelie]

@bbdhrggl Thanks ^^ OK, I didn't hurt my fingers yet, and I will be careful! But I have a little question: Is playing piano harder if you are left-handed or doesn't it matter? Because I'm left-handed.

[bbdhrggl]

@pianolelie i've read left-handed people are more athletic, if so, you might have an advantage. Playing difficult pieces on piano is partly a sport, it requires coordination, endurance, strength and quickness.

[RavenAmongDoves]

@pianolelie I'm left-handed, and I play the piano. I've never found it to be a problem :)

[SVAFnemesis]

@pianolelie Thanks! You're AWESOME!

[LivesOnStars]

@bbdhrggl Really? But I play dawn, which is level 7 according to you, without much difficulty, and I have been playing seriously since two years, not seven.

I understand It's just estimated, but I can't help feeling a bit happy with =)

[bbdhrggl]

@LivesOnStars you can be justifiably proud of yourself. when we set our minds to accomplishing something, we often succeed.

[LivesOnStars]

@bbdhrggl Thank you! And yes, that's just what my teacher said. I was very determined to learn the piece because I loved the film. Also, do you know any classical pieces that are more or less the same level? I would like to play one, but I don't want to start with something too difficult.

[bbdhrggl]

@LivesOnStars some Beethoven sonatas are this level. opus 10 is a good place to start. listen to concert-pianist performances to see whether you like the pieces. You can also check my website SONG page because I made quite a few classical tutorials for which I assigned levels.

[intherainxx]

Thank you so much!! Love this song!

[EJES2000]

*grey

[bbdhrggl]

@EJES2000 grey/gray are both correct

[EJES2000]

@bbdhrggl ohh... are you american?

[bbdhrggl]

@EJES2000 yes, but I learned it as grey before I relearned it as gray :)

[LushinNickii]

hey whoever want the sheet music for this whole film tell me, i know where to find it :) x

[SVAFnemesis]

@LushinNickii hey, I want the 01 Dawn and the 09 Liz On Top Of The World! Thanks!

[frecoxia]

im playing this for my mother on mothersday i hope i dont mess up.(its her favorite movie and favorite song) :)

[HelloDaiankitty]

Do you have the music sheets ? Or cam you give the notes for it ? its kinda hard to see what keys your playing ..

[bbdhrggl]

@HelloDaiankitty sheet info on webpage (video description)

[msuspartans112]

How do you know when and when not to use the pedal?

[bbdhrggl]

@msuspartans112 experiment by ear, use it to enrich the sound, but not make it "muddy". user joshwrightpiano has a good lesson on pedaling.

[memoriesremain2010]

I love this! I was trying to find it and I finally did!

[twinkletoejam]

WOW! 

[maplesyrup234]

by far the best one i've seen. the tempo is perfect! :) thank youu

[surfchick94]

best tutorial i've ever seen/had.

[b3creed]

my friggin brain just exploded.

[Tanukixoxo]

Thankyou so much! I'm learning this right now and it really helped

[everknownpy]

do you need a full set of 88 keys to be able to play this particular song?

[bbdhrggl]

@everknownpy watch the cover portion? it might be ok to omit the highest or lowest notes

[SPoinK123]

wwwoooaaahhh that is so awesome!!! Inspiring:)

[ElyGlitterGirl]

is it more hard to play ''dawn'' or this one?? the last song I did was ''Debussy- Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum'' and I wanted to change genre..but ''dawn'' seems more hard for me O.O

[bbdhrggl]

@ElyGlitterGirl you're right, "dawn" is more difficult.

[lnmissgreen]

I'm learning this right now. :D

[ellieLoveesJB]

really good !

[domtom010]

I don't even play piano but im really starting to get good at this :) Thanx!

[polo2240]

Es la mejor interpretacion que he visto hasta ahora,lo tocas con mucha fuerza, felicitaciones!!! me encanta esta melodia y la pelicula!!!

[6242457]

I love you!!!!! thank you so much for this post... I've been looking for this tutorial... I dont know how to read notes but I'm inlove with the sound of the piano and i learned by ear... and this helps a lot! thanks a lot may God Bless you so much!!!

[silversmith8]

I've always loved the music in this movie but I've never tried to play this piece, and I've never seen it played either. So... wow. It looks as beautiful as it sounds, doesn't it? The way the hands move... it's like watching ripples on a pond when it's drizzling. Lol I'm almost crying right now.

[93estefi]

its beautiful...........gob job

[pianonatalie]

and its not the piece i was just getting hung up on 1 part

wonderful video and thank you so much for making it

[pianonatalie]

i tried and its starting to work. ive got the right hand and am working on the left. thanks for the advice

[pianonatalie]

i hate to ask but i cant see half of the notes you are playing your hand gets in the way. can you make another tutorial that you play with your hands lower on the keys?

[bbdhrggl]

@pianonatalie try to change your approach. monkey see monkey do, or copy cat, means imitate the fingers. not to look under them. pause the slow part often and try. maybe start with an easier piece?

[anishakay13]

it looks so effortless when you playyy

[itsbincz]

@anishakay13 Seriosuly!! She makes it look so easy ... I've been practicing for a couple of days now; slowly but surely.

Thanks for the Video!!!!!!

[rswann01]

Thank you soooo much! I have been waiting for this tutorial for a very long time. I really appreciate it and I know others that do too!! :)

[TheKalifornia16]

could you make another one like this but show how to do your right hand first and then second? please.

[bbdhrggl]

@TheKalifornia16 sorry, my wait list is terribly long and I rather not go backwards. did you try to cover one side of the monitor with paper? also use pause a lot.

[KatiesaurSaysRAWR]

I'm not even gonna lie, my brain literally exploded on the first time I tried playing the second page of this. I suck at piano but I hope I'll eventually be able to play it, it's such a beautiful song

[yassinovo]

small hands or huge piano ?

[bbdhrggl]

@yassinovo neither. read up on photography?

[rinserbear]

Just favorited! This is excellent!

[bobbyboo93]

This is so awesome, thank you so much. But could you maybe say what notes your playing cause I am having a really hard time seeing and I don't know how to read music yet. lol Thanks.

[bbdhrggl]

@bobbyboo93 it is impossible for me to play and say the notes at the same time. There are hundreds of notes? the tutorial I'm doing today has thousands.

[MITTINS1234]

I for some reason think this one is harder than Dawn but that's just me haha

[sabrinasita]

@MITTINS1234 ohh its mee too.

"My fingers just do not move as masterly on this intrument as some womens' does" (lol)

Kinda too fast for me :)

[makingfiendsfan]

Dude i Am in love with this movie and all there songs i used too listen to theses songs all day

[bbdhrggl]

@456lalalala Level 5 or 6? The easier songs are marked with a star* on the monkey song page. you'll progress fast.

[ac1580]

wow 

[bluenigma]

You play very beautifully. I am glad you decided to do this. I can't play at all, but so far I am impressed how successful imitation can be. I love this piece and hopefully one day I can play it as adeptly. :]]]

[bbdhrggl]

@bluenigma ah yes, our mirror neurons are amazing little things!

[yarden4080]

i really love dawn ,i wish i could play that but it's so hard! thank you soooooo much for this one.hope i can play that now...

[akitolover]

Thank you so much! This helped me so much i can finally play this song with the correct tempo

[gianina17]

Finally a tutorial of this beautiful beautiful song!!! Thank you so much. You are amazing!!!!!

[dilux92]

[AyuSinger00]

[lumarik]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[Julesrules05]

Great tutorial, helped my fingering a lot!

Thanks for posting

[dontblowurcomposure]

you're amaaaazing

[Praise24theLord7]

Hey great playing sound beautiful! Do you think this one is easier to play than Dawn? And i wanted to buy the piano book to go a long but it says Big Note, is that the same thing?

[bbdhrggl]

@Praise24theLord7 thanks. yes, this is much easier than Dawn. Did you check the book link on the sheetmusic page (monkey site)? Big Note means larger print... easier to read.

[Praise24theLord7]

@bbdhrggl oh ok thanks!

[SabrinaSilence]

you are amazing at piano ♥

[gohector13]

thank you so much!

i really like your hands :)

[hannicake]

sorry, but I can't tell what keys you are pressing...

[bbdhrggl]

@hannicake me neither. best to follow along with sheetmusic. :)

Perhaps read monkey site About Us page for hints

[roxyloveswhose]

this was actually amazing

[mychemfreak246]

Thank you for the tutorial, but my god u press the keys so lightly for the left hand I don't know when you change >:(

[bbdhrggl]

@mychemfreak246 I rather hope you were following the sheetmusic...

[mychemfreak246]

@bbdhrggl what sheet music?

[bbdhrggl]

@mychemfreak246 buy the book :) many good songs in it. Will have at least 4 tutorials done from there. Sheetmusic info is on my monkey site (free)

[VigVix]

I can finally perfect this now!!

Thank you!

[omg0what0happened]

Oh my god, i couldn't believe it when till i saw it for myself!! FINALLY!! THANK YOU, YOU KIND PERSON!!!! :D

[titalfie]

god bless you!! thankyouu! lol

[CoutureCherie]

Thank you soooo much!!!! <3

[persephone112993]

thank you sooo much!! I was just hoping that you can make a video with a little more explanation.. I find it a little difficult to see which keys you are pressing

[SCilovemusic]

thank you sooooo much 4 making this tutorial.... this is my favorite song from pride and prejudice and this is the only tutorial posted for this song thank you!!!

[bbdhrggl]

@SCilovemusic I'd like to thank each of you, for your feedback. Good luck, and enjoy learning the song.
