Great work on the passacaglia! You read my mind at the end of the video, I was just going to search for a cover of the wedding march at the end right after this one!
Such a pitty you don´t can send me a link to the sheet....what a great song...btw. what d-piano are you using ? i want to buy me one but i am not sure which one i should get :(
@Gsus665 Hello, I might need to double-check about sheets, I could perhaps find them again, but I'm not sure. As for the piano, this is the Kawai CA-9 which is an outdated model. The current line would be the CA-93, but I can't recommend it because it has some firmware issues which result in sound problems (cracking sounds, sync issues etc.).
I bought me one for now..two weaks ago...a Roland FP7 ...i like it :) Doesn´t look very piano like, but it has great keys and a warm sound...finally i could practise at home again *happy happy*
@Gsus665 Hello, yeah I heard good things about Roland digitals. They are definitely a good choice. Oh and check n1bigdaddy's comment, he found the sheets :)
@akaphaneuf Hello, thank you - yeah I know reminiscence from Suikoden 2, it's a beautiful track, of course. I might play more Suikoden in the future if I can do it. Thanks for the suggestion :)
@laliluleloism Hello, a tutorial for this is a bit difficult and will most probably not be possible at the moment. But if you have any problem with specific passages, feel free to drop me a line and I can try to help you out. And the Wedding March Variation was not in the sheets, but you can get the original from Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and try to implement the changes into it :)
could you make a tutorial? I did find sheets for this, same sheets as yours, but I can't read them, I can play just first 20 sec. I can read right hand, but left.....no chance : <
Have you listened to the original song? Many ornaments are missing and the trascription is rather inaccurate.
Anyway, your playing is great, and I suggest adding more reverb to give it that Cathedral feeling. Anywhere where pipe organs are naturally heard is always a big space with lots of ambient reverb.
@CleverDjembe Hi, yeah I know the original. I still believe the transcription is as accurate as it can be for two hands without a pedalboard. I fail to see many missing ornaments, perhaps one or two (or do you mean staccato playing?). But you are right about the reverb, that bothered me as well, this is the max reverb available on that digital.
I'm sorry for criticizing like this without taking into account the very important organ pedals that you don't have access to in this interpretation. I'm sure they would thicken up the low end and and complement the left hand which didn't sound "full" enough compared to the original in this version.
By ornamentation I'm talking about trills that appear every now and then.
Amazing organ playing. I haven't heard much of organ works (the ones I have heard are from Bach, of course), so I can't really criticize much, but man. You seem really experienced in playing organs. A well-rounded instrumentalist, you are. Respect. Playing without the pedal is one of my weaknesses.
Those passages in the middle of the video are really ear catching. Love it.
@TheIshter Heh, thanks. If you listen very closely, you'll notice a couple spots where I actually did use the perdal because I just couldn't resist my habits. About my organ experience, let me tell you a story :) I was playing for a church ceremony once, and after I finished playing, the priest began to pray. So I wanted to get off from the organ and then accidentally stepped on the pedalboard. I was soo embarrassed and I felt about half the people had an urge to burst out in laughter :)
I am playing suikoden for the first time and just yesterday i was playing through necrolord's castle thinking to myself 'this is an awesome piece that really fits this place'
WHAT NECLORD'S STILL ALIVE?!
