[54tama]

gran trabajo deverias subir la partitura a guitar pro tabs o a tabs 911

[LuisSain]

I really prefer this song than chopin's studio.. Wich is beautifull.. I've readed it in my 4 years of the conseratory.

[MrLoknar]

Do you have some sheet for this ? I love this song and you play very well ! :)

[rotsenon]

The octaves are not killing you, it's your technique :/... Be carefull, you stress your right arm too much!... Anyways, great theme and nice you took the time to learn it, greetings.

[rmwua]

Omg it's beautiful !! :D

Wish I could play it too but I can't :( too bad

3 ppl who didn't like it are just bloody vampires xD

I love this soo much!! :D great performance

[GrapefruitAndChaiTea]

Marry Me!:O:O:O:O:O:O:O;o

[ExMarKaSpoT]

best game evah!!!!!

[XxvallchenxX]

hey!

I have to thank you a lot.

your performance was soooooooo cool, i had to find the sheet music!!!

now, thanks to you, i will have a lot of fun playing it on a piano recital xD

thanks for the sheets!!!

[HarleyStcool]

good shit

[DatabaseAndZeta]

EPIC!

[HeitorL321]

>.<

[1987Challenger3]

plz tell me someone made sheet music for this

[gmcglothern]

haha yeah a whole octave can be a stretch if you don't have good sized hands, but remember chopin had some TINY ASS HANDS hahahaha

[DarianHarman]

Good, but relax more, and you won't sound so mechanical.

[proxyix]

piano keyboard details tell me plz =D

nice song btw

[Jocoga]

So relaxing.... this is good :)

[link3hyrule]

Uh-huh....i saw that comming! I really didnt expect you to do that fast and complicated part in his song....but still.....i loooooooooved it! BRAVA!

[roseteam2]

this was a soooooooooooooo beauty arrange! :)

really well played

cuddos

[fendfred]

well, folks, its really not me being an ass, but come on, Please dont perform a very nice piece of music like this, it totally broke the original atmosphere. i am well appreciated the the spirit of you recreate this song in a way and rip the original soundtrack(it must been difficult), yet the cadence was getting faster and faster at the end. i guess if u were playing slower would've been easier to perform anyway... no mean to be rude or offensive

[Worp3music]

Yes when you hurry you can catch the train... hahaha ..why play so fast? Put more feeling in it.

[generalleon6]

You did very well. I love most of the songs you play. I also have to agree with SirVG, try and loosen up your hands. I'm 14 and i can play all these octaves with ease, hahaha so I KNOW you can do it. Anyways thanks for the inspiration

[SirVG]

Good job playing over all. The one real criticism I have with this arrangement starts at bar 60 (1:36 in the video). If you listen to the original arrangement, the right hand should be continual 16th notes on the octaves, not played together as they are printed in that sheet music arrangement. And yeah, relax man. You look tense, especially in your right hand.  I know all of those octaves are tough, but it's easier when your hand is less tense.

[LandoftheShanks]

why does everyone have to play so fast?! appreciate the music & feel it. Don't rush it so much.

[sebastiansnake]

hey where did you get the notes??

[TheCuddlyDevil]

That was beautiful. I especially love the rhythm work.

Also, I only recently heard Chopin's Etude Op.10#12, and I was instantly reminded of this piece. Do you feel there's a resemblance?

[manyfungus]

lol...my arrangement is certainly not of that level...Chopin's evolutionary etude is a crazy piece that I've yet to master =)

[Omegax9000]

@manyfungus madd props

[TheRowlhion]

@TheCuddlyDevil it has the same sharp keys..

[LI0NSEBA]

what can i say manyfungus... that is so great... i open this video more than twenty times and i will watch more times if is necesary... that is incredible... !awesome!. congratulations manyfungus.

[manyfungus]

thanks for your support!:)

[purplecowadoom]

Great work here! Your playing from 1:43-1:50 is particularly impressive. Nice show!

[manyfungus]

haha that was most stressful point for me!

[chuckybyas]

@manyfungus I hate to be that guy, but you totally have alien hands on this part lol, so awesome

[ChronicMetamorphosis]

As a fellow classical pianist as well as a Castlevania fan, I applaud your performance.

As far as constructive criticism goes, try not to bend your wrist. It does a lot of damage in the long run to your body.

[manyfungus]

thanks for your advice, i can't spot my own mistakes. I'll take note of it.

let me know if you have any more comment:)

[ChronicMetamorphosis]

OMG! Someone on youtube who appreciates such advice!?

I know its hard to notice things like that when you are submerged in the music. I like to have a mirror around while I'm practicing to make sure my body is in the correct positioning.

[manyfungus]

lol yea i welcome criticism bcos like you said,its hard to notice..i had lousy teacher who read newspaper during lesson when i was taking my grades..didnt bother to correct me at all.thanks for pointing out.

[xbckjgb]

amazing !!! i love youuu !!! ;)

[dairokkan64]

Hey pretty good! I like this song a lot, by the way you have really nice hands, pretty cute!

[cheechthemighty]

not bad but slow down lol

[luisantics]

woooow you take my breath away is awesome

[diakrite]

Looking at the way You correctly arpeggiate large chord, suddenly reminds me of the tons of bad playing habits I have picked up during 20 years of synth-playing instead of piano..grrr..

[Muffincakeswithsugar]

amazing!

[mjkkk]

Well if you ever Stop playing piano you can send that thing to me :O XD

[AuraStudios]

i'd consider getting headphones, a midi to USB cable, and something like Synthogy Ivory, if your computer can run it.

[boberts44]

WOW this is my fav. ever since i saw this vid i have been interested in castlevaina and went out and bought this game

[bogardboy]

I know this is kinda random but I wonder if your voice is as sweet sounding as the music u play.. :)

*Castlevania RuLezZz!*

[peterlim1974]

I think the orchestra is more appropriate as it meant to be.

[Aliensoldier]

oh oh talent !

erm please post more !

[Templaris05]

Nice arrangement. Imagine this on a Grand Piano... *drools*

[thawunandonly]

is there sheet music for this version?

[jcheattai]

Finally! xD It doesnt sound bad in Fm

[aAastaRR]

Whoa..fav~~~

[MUTSUdesu]

This song is killing my fingers. x___x

Anyways, I love it. *uu*

[TheWanderingNight]

O_O Impressive.

A minor nitpick, but I think the jumpy octave bit at 1:37-1:44-ish is supposed to be made of triplets.

Also, where can I find the sheet music for this?

[Michelle2815CV]

OMG!!!! MAGNIFICIENT!!!

[zoasz]

who's leon ?

[TaekoLugosi]

Leon Belmont is the main character of Castlevania - Lament of Innocence.

[DeinNomos]

Bravo :D, great song, and great performance!!

[gstarwind123]

this is one my favorite videos on youtube keep up the good work! i wish i had a keyboard like yours (thats a yamaha isnt it?)

[DarkDragon00987]

:O

like the end

(just like the end of castlevania: lament of innocence)

[YngwieK1]

fuck yea!!! love it! tempo was a bit too fast, its more enjoyable in the original tempo, nontheless you are an amazing dude!

[johnnyatrocious]

thats a girl you know.

[YngwieK1]

does it matter?.... the point is the this person is very talented and can tear it up!

[johnnyatrocious]

well yeah, i totally agree, its just that i realized that its a chick, i'm like, 90 percent sure.

[Hurrrrgah]

Very, very nice! 5/5

[himynameisel]

awesome cover, I like how the tempo was a little faster than the original.

this would be perfect if you added in the notes at 1:37

but awesome either way!

[KeffinVilhelms]

I like how the piano sound on the key board sounds

[Jonjontkd123]

You did it very well :)

[hikusss]

nice going but you are playing it too fast and some notes doesn't sound as it have and in min 1:37 you lack of a great number of notes but it's a grate and close try n_n

[shadowtriber666]

BRAVO!!!!!!

[xRisingForcex]

[hinata279]

You played it better than I did in my dreams!! X3

Awesome playing, you were incredible. ^-^

[Captnflav]

[bubbaXzone]

HEY captv flav its me bubba from gameforce :)

[striderkiwi]

[CVfan13]

Wow, you are great! Those five seconds from 1:45-1:50 had me shocked! :0

[dinoraulo]

You are a good!!!, very good

[slayerfum]

nice keyboard i have the 76 key version lol

[crow100089]

do you have available piano tabs?

[macwild1234]

wow...awesome

[nask91]

I have the some keyboard eheh!

[IceRequiem]

Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen anyone play Leon's Theme decently. I've always loved this song. Good job!

[XxBeLzXx]

i cant find the tabs for the guitar i wanna saw play this song on guitar T.T

[crow100089]

possibly because there is no guitar tabs but you could convert the piano notes if you knew them

[Dstrigoi]

Oh, this one sounds more like the another version of the Leon´s theme (Lamment of innocence) included in the 2nd CD, "Leon´s Relief". Not slowly, not faster...a medium combination with grace. Excellent interpretation.

[crow100089]

can you email me via youtube the guitar tabs if they are availible

[manyfungus]

sorry I don't have it:(

[SELG88]

you can say that you dont want to share sheet music instead of lie lol :P

[manyfungus]

erm, why do I need to lie when I can play by ear for other songs too..

anyway,this's not some fantastic arrangement, anybody who has classical music background can play like this.

[EdiKun]

That is correct. Compliments on a job well done.

[Ramin258]

It's great, but can you change the key to C# minor (it's original key)?

[manyfungus]

The original key is D min actually..maybe I'll make another video next time

[NYBIGBLUE69]

I've been searching for that sheet music for a while with no success and now that I've seen you play it I don't think I'd be able to! Any rating less than 5 stars would be uncivilized. Excellent job.

[manyfungus]

thank you for your support!

sorry for not being able to provide the sheet music..

[StickeyDickey]

wow, your a musical genius.

[manyfungus]

thanks!:D

[DJRayEarth]

You're really freaking awesome

another beautiful masterpiece from you !

[manyfungus]

Thank you!:D

[adamschwartze]

LOVE IT!

I'm a fan of Castlevania, and hearing this version of Lament of Innocence really brought me back.

[Cuzios]

yea.. very good

This is my favorite song from Lament of Innocense!

However.. isn't it a bit fast? o.õ

[manyfungus]

Thanks:) hehe I think it's abit fast too. Maybe I'll do a slower one next time.

[Cuzios]

your welcome =p

it would be awesome =)

I'd love to learn how to play thins song *-*

Could you do a video teaching? :x

[lefonz]

yea GO Leon!

[timlin]

It looks very difficult to play this song.

[Ultima3129]

this is my favorite song in castlevania and leons my favotite

[anbujaked]

Did you learn is by ear?

[manyfungus]

yep:)

[Light14Lilium]

wow... REALLY!!! I wish I could do that....

[Zolrak666]

Amazing!

My favorite song, indeed!

[radie01]

woooooooo

amazing ;)

[BladeMasterAlexander]

Kashino:Yay! That was great! I got so lazy on trying to arrange the rest of it. You do us Castlevania fans proud. btw, I missed you! Haven't seen you upload a video in a while~

[manyfungus]

haha..I got really lazy too,I wanted to do this since 1 year ago actually,procrastinated for 1 yr..I dunno when will I ever upload video again XD

Thanks!I'll be watching your updates too!

[kazamajin1]

This is a great song.. you play it really well. It sounds like a professional version also, I'm really amazed by it. More rare castlevania piano music, great job!

Love those octaves! :) I try to relax the wrist and fingers inbetween each octave, but it's a difficult thing to do. Good job on that part though.

[manyfungus]

Thanks!Your comments really encourages me!

haha,actually there're mistakes & I skipped the interlude..maybe I should remake a version as close to original as possible.

Yea it's very difficult for me to play octaves as my hands are rather small..i hate octaves :(

[kazamajin1]

Yes,that's understandable. I like this version alot, I think you did great on it.

Also, I know that keyboard has rather light keys in comparison to a real piano, which means if your octave technique isn't very sharp you can very easily hit other keys doing rapid octaves. I think you did well, haha.

[ericlecarde]

yay the first great cover of castlevania i ve seen in some time here on youtube , great quality , keep the good work , you should try to make the 2 themes of the garden forgotten by time, those are 2 beautifull pieces too :D , hope you can upload them soon ;) .

[manyfungus]

Thanks for your comment!:)

yea garden forgotten by time is nice too, but I guess I'll push it later as I think I'll play 'waltz of the lazy chair' from COD first..XD

[ericlecarde]

ok do as you wish, i ll be waiting for it :).

[pakash76]

excellent video very impressive, could you play the Tower of death theme from C.P.O.R of nintendo ds please!!!

[manyfungus]
