Michael Nyman - The Piano Theme (Heart Asks Pleasure First)

[6anatolyy4]

well played fella

[Thiskid217]

He just played in a different key. It still sounds amazing even though it isn't exact. It doesn't have to be, and it shouldn't be.

[acts10truth]

took me to place of peace and spiritual rest . thank you for the post it is lovely and you are in excellence !

[milxl]

I'm not a specialist but i think it's an

excellent version

[ThePianistOS]

This isn't Micheal Nyman's original music, and is not the theme from "The Piano"...

[lohman181]

@ThePianistOS

Not really he just played the song an octive up

[ThePianistOS]

@lohman181 He altered the notes to the point where the theme is barely recognizable. It was not a mere octave shift.

[lohman181]

@ThePianistOS

ok well the music I have of this song it's a octive change I don't want to get in a fight and maybe I'm wrong and my music is wrong that's just how it's written I don't know

[acts10truth]

@ThePianistOS I think every artist does their own rendition and doesnt try to duplicate the original. I think he made this very lovely and I enjoyed it for what it was......beautiful

[TheClockwork1977]

ettől a daltól mindig túl szomorú és túl érzékeny leszek. ez a legcsodálatosabb interpretáció, amit valaha életemben hallottam.

[MIFSjolly]

wooow!

[avaresland]

Is that your own interpretation? Nice one. 

[XxAnimefreakyxX1]

That dosn't sound like the music in 'the piano'

[CharlieMemorial]

I love this. I get a sense of curiosity and wonder with this version, rather than a Passion and need for playing as in the origional. But that's not necessary a bad things.

[cheesedoodle1234]

wish my piano was in tune like this one...lol. very nice playing as well :)

[justwing21]

Suggestion place where to buy the sheet music?

[faloperoxxx]

if you listen carefully you can hear drums XD

[Ayuuiichii]

So beautiful! You have the sheet please?? is so precious!

[MrJFA1978]

beautiful version

[hellchildx]

[TanteFrieda1990]

This is beautiful... incredible

[MrEwabrel]

lepsze od oryginału !!! <3

[sr000g111]

omg beautiful 

[KsantiMedia]

wrong key?

[sensualgun]

if you love this, you MUST watch the video of "Let There Be Light "!!... it's a song by rock noir band BELLADONNA and MICHAEL NYMAN and it's based on this music from "The Piano". Michael Nyman himself plays piano on it... search for "belladonna nyman" here on youtube and you'll find it!! :-)

[eos1789]

amazing

[TheAnxiousMan]

Nicked..

[EllzeeOMG]

You really need to get this written down!

[jasquilaria]

fascinating when I first heard it, just like wow I found a good music but I get bored of it soon after the second time I listened to it. It's not like a revolution.

[Mirtylli]

[lolo19330]

Like Goldberg variations, it's a fantastic Nyman's variation ! Congrats!

[evahartjee1]

[daleeasson]

How can you thumbs down this?

32 people don't appreciate real music!

[ILovethissongnow]

This is really good! It's not quite like the original. More.. interesting. Haha. I can say it in words.:)

[isabeleta13]

AMAZING!! I have no words :)

[osoblanco]

such an amazing version!

[zeffii]

i don't hear many piano tracks that i like. but this is definitely one of them. makes me miss my piano :(

[sableghost]

Amazing!

[Neberkneza]

Brilliant! I have to ask tho, I play this piece, and I play my treble down an octavie, am I doing Reading wrong somewhere?

[daleeasson]

Ooh this is truly beautiful, this is what music is meant to sound like.

[Monxiful]

Me encanta! Una versión increíble! Mucho sentimiento y musicalidad. un 10 =)

[DanteLacey21]

Boy I sure wish I could play the piano as beautifully as you do.

[GrotrianSeiler]

This is a beautiful interpretation. Thank you.

[happydancer2009]

This version of the heart asks for pleasure is some sort of magic version?

[Musorgsky]

Michael Nyman? Lol who cares about him, we got joolsscott on youtube!

Nice work man, loved your version of this music!

[manuelusilva3]

you shure are a exelent pianist :) congrats dude :D you made it :)

[betterthansex123]

wish i could see your hands better. an overtop view shows your playing more.

[Soulblaze3004]

Better the original in my opinion :)

[luiszimb]

Wow great job man, I'm learning the original right now, love your version though. :)

[sexyback0409]

It is a very good job, bravo. But I think you have to include in the video title that it is an improvisation of "The heart asks pleasure first" --since this is a different,inspired piece-- because it can mislead people who are looking for the original Michael Nyman piece. Or at least include a link with the original in the video description. Otherwise excellent work,keep on.

[MrPjdasilva]

Essa música é simplesmente linda...

[frank2398]

Wow! My hat is off to you. Fantastic in every way.

[luc207]

Es realmente preciosa..... melodías como esta provocan que la gente quiera aprender a tocar el piano. Le felicito

x

[digbick1978]

clever :-)

[thinktoomuchto]

I really like your improv of this, I play it too and you are still bringing out the most important notes of this song. It is a beautiful countermelody. I'd like to hear it with the original overtop. Any additional instruments in the back? Think.

[iuganitza2002]

interessante. bravo.

[molleycoddle]

I cried too the first time I heard it

[silvervolvo1]

This song is gorgeous I cried the first time I listened to it~

[minoesch6]

thank you :) my day was a lot better when I heard this

[vilunki87]

[siergieyy]

Simply the best :)

And like others i like this version far more than original.

[MCPLUM]

goood job

*plays for 1000th time*

[flothereal]

awesome man did you write that down or is is just a spontanious improvisation?

[Kuriboh21]

Wonderful arrangement :D It sounds kind of like a music box to me :D Nice job

[Leviathan129]

I prefer this one than the original...

this sounds so magical...

piano has the most beautiful sound I've ever heard... when I play it, I feel like I'm so far away from everything...:)

[alabina1971]

Simply. perfect...you're AWESOME!

[nincsmasotlet]

like an old fairy dancing on a lake in autumn

[talltalestold]

this is great! to me, this sounds like it has more harmonies dealing with 3rds and 5ths, maybe some add 9 stuff in the mix, the original may have more dissonant business...but i love when people add their own touches to songs. i like this just as much if not better than the original!

[beautifulpyre]

I've loved this song for years, but you've made me fall in love with it all over again. Thank you.

[triixiia21]

This is..the most beautiful piano song i've ever heard.. n.n This song makes me feel better! haha..you're talented!!! :D please..keep on playing..i honestly love it. (And know..because of this video..i'm completely obscess with this song and i'm gonna try to play it..) haha..

congrats..you rock! n.n

[Yoannina]

Brilliant!

[yesmicossio]

[JoJobedeker]

Damn That's a Freaking Good Played Song o.O!!

[jackfckntwist]

SO GOOD!!!

[nyxB]

[Gr1zZl11]

4 me 2!

[o00beSt00o]

you have a high pure sense !!

[TheMailgirlsandiego]

pure magic....what talent you have. Your love for playing is so audible on this piece

[jonomurphy3]

It must be the most awful bother, but I was wondering if you had/could create sheet music for this interpretation? It's absoultely divine :)

If not, I understand :)

[joolsscott]

I would love to say yes Jono, but it's just what came out in the moment so I've got no sheets. I'll have to ask Mr Nyman if he minds if I write out his beautiful peace.

I am preparing a new album - Fireside Christmas Carol Collection - which is in a similar style to this piece. My friends are joining me on cello, guitar, bass, trombone, trumpet and voice, we're recording next week so it will be ready by December. Keep your eyes out for it on my profile & website, it should be wonderful! :)

[jonomurphy3]

That sounds amazing! I shall kepe my eyes peeled! I wish you the very best of luck, mate :)

[xxlkitty]

beautiful!!! congratulations!! u play the piano wonderfoul!!!

[hoedoeg]

Love your version, starting from 2:15 it's magical

[Gr1zZl11]

I love it 2!

[paardwa]

dude. that was beautiful.

[aldodipaolo]

very nice arrangiament, congratulations for your music. Well done!

[macrisal2]

I love this music! And your piano is so good. Congratulations!

[MykraDnB]

Love your version. Nice tempo and timing.

0.36 - 0.40 is great!!

It should be in there.

[Swiftbollocks]

Not bad. I disliked 0:36 to 0:40 though, it changes the mood of the piece, and I think that chord you used was a bit odd. However, it's always great to take what a composer has done, and make it your own, and that's what you have done. Well done.

[gabi09999]

i kept playin this again and again..

great job..

dont stop playin piano..

[Qcommander]

It's very beautifully played :)

5/5

[tchaidas5]
