Henry Mancini - Moon river from Breakfast at Tiffany's (piano solo arrangement by Lucamadeus)

[bronzesel]

belle mélodie

[swaigar]

I have been listening to your video these few days with my wife before we goto bed. You play with such elegance and the composition is the best I have ever heard. May I ask for a music copy on your version of Moon River? Thank you so much!

[lucamadeus]

@swaigar thanks for your kind words! you could find some info in the video description :)

[zindagiization]

ohhhhhhhhhh lord if this is life i would love to be with it with music and music and music u are marvelous

[lucamadeus]

@zindagiization thanks so much, too kind :)

[zindagiization]

@lucamadeus u deserve it yar

anytime

[bearsrider]

Bellissima armonizzazione, complimenti! (anche il cambio all'1:26 rispetto l'originale... mi piace!)

Ho notato anche l'imitazione allo 0:38 ;)

[lucamadeus]

@bearsrider grazie mille! pensare che questo arrangiamento era nato come un'improvvisazione, un pò per gioco :)

[Zibanejad]

This is the most wonderful version of this song, I have ever listened to. You´re an absolutly gorgeous and talented artist and I am completely enthusiastic about your breathtaking art. Your play is incredibly touching !!!! BRAVO !!!!

[lucamadeus]

@Zibanejad thanks SO much for your kind message!!

[davidmichaelprice]

After uploading my own crummy version of this song straight from sheet music, I listened to a lot of other versions of it on YouTube, and yours is the best. You bring out the very best in that song with all the subtle chords and harmonies.

[lucamadeus]

@davidmichaelprice thanks so much! your version is really good, too!

[silvanopatani]

bravo, veramente bravo, è uno dei brani che preferisco, io l'ho orchestrato e devo dire che mi è venuto veramente bene...... ne vado fiero.. comunque bravo.

[lucamadeus]

@silvanopatani grazie mille! e complimenti anche a te!

[bellabecka2You]

WOW, One of the prettiest renditions I have heard of this in an instrumental! You play beautifully! :) Such an easy song with this instrumental to sing with feeling.. Thanks for sharing! This is such a classic piece of music written by Henry Mancini that will live on forever.

[lucamadeus]

@bellabecka2You thanks so much for your kind comment! I'm really glad you liked it :)

Sei veramente bravissimo col piano, complimenti!!!^^

[lucamadeus]

@AudreyMarilyn95 ahah, non preoccuparti, pochi pensano che io sia italiano :) in genere scrivo in inglese perchè mi leggono da ovunque, e cerco di farmi capire :)

[TheDreamer2627]

Love that song... *.*

[supermaceydog101]

[MrSansibaer]

Well done! Tempo fits perfectly. Sounds great

[lucamadeus]

@MrSansibaer thanks so much! :)

[daCATisBAKnBLAK]

I practice every day in hopes to have a fraction of your type of talent. Amazing song, thanks a ton for the inspiration.

[lucamadeus]

@daCATisBAKnBLAK thanks alot, too kind! and many compliments to you, too!

[CrimsonDahlia1]

This is verybeautiful, you've got amazing talent

[lucamadeus]

@CrimsonDahlia1 thanks alot for your kind words! :)

[profitleads]

Beautifully done.

[Soundexpert100]

You are quite the musician.Your choice of choosing key of F# was the first great move; it opens the doors to more sophisticated chord changes and expresses the simplicity  and melancholy of this beautiful song.For example, at 1:27, this sustained chord exudes complexity and reflection to the listener.Henry Mancini would be very proud.

[lucamadeus]

@Soundexpert100 thanks alot for your kind and competent words! :)

[keyboardmelody]

Beautiful rendition of perhaps the most beautiful melody ever written! Virtually flawless in your presentation, I had to listen three times to grasp its simplicity and grace. What a magical era for great tunes and shows! And they say so little good about Cleveland... Henry Mancini was born there.

[lucamadeus]

@keyboardmelody thanks so much! I agree, that was a great era for magical tunes!

[pianomother]

Sensitive touch. Thanks for sharing. Please visit my channels too!

[lucamadeus]

@pianomother thanks so much Yoke! yours is a GREAT piano channel! thanks for your useful lessons!

[polarisathena]

Great work. You do have class.

[astriidxx]

I sent you a donation for this arrangement, can you please email me a copy? Thanks

[lucamadeus]

@astriidxx thanks alot! I've just sent the pdf sheet of my piano arrangement to your email address! :)

[giulio52320]

Ho sentito raramente esecuzioni di cover così perfette e con simili sfumature..settime, diminuite, controtempi.. e con una naturalezza disarmante..sei veramente bravo! Sarei curioso di sapere come le arrangi, e perdipiù senza una partitura davanti mi pare..e credo di aver capito con soli 4 anni di conservatorio! I casi sono due: o sei un simpatico bugiardo o sei un genio..io propendo per la seconda ipotesi. Complimenti vivissimi!

[lucamadeus]

@giulio52320 grazie Giulio, sei gentilissimo :) a dire il vero, non sono nè l'uno nè tanto meno l'altro (genio è semmai un Chopin o un Beethoven, altro che...)

gli arrangiamenti li faccio per lo più ad orecchio, provo la canzone un pò di volte (non pochissime, a dire il vero, perchè non sono molto portato a ricordarmi la melodia delle canzoni) e quando mi soddisfa cerco di registrarla, tutto qui

PS: non 4 anni, bensì 9, e da privatista, poi mi sono diplomato in conservatorio :)

[Woofycat]

so beautiful..

[profitleads]

Slow and lazily flowing, like the river itself and, I think, the way it was intended to be played.  Certainly a beautiful rendition.

[lucamadeus]

@profitleads thanks!

[oO0FinalDay0Oo]

wonderful

[lucamadeus]

@oO0FinalDay0Oo thanks!

[ArcangeloVicedom]

bravissimo, stupenda

[lucamadeus]

[lucamadeus]

@61aniram grazie come sempre :)

[lampone56]

[lucamadeus]

@lampone56 grazie :)

[LOLLYn1]

[lucamadeus]

oh, I don't know why YouTube mark as spam some comments! prehaps, I think it's the email address... I replied you in pvt! :)

[hoangphuongtran]

Hello Luca, i'm on the way finding a piano transcription of this song, and i get your channel on youtube. I like your arrangement much . It sounds so full and touched so i want to try on it . Could you please send me the music sheet ???

My email is hoangphuongtran@mytum(a)de

[lucamadeus]

[chelobes]

luca, I have learned to play this song throughout, finally, thanks to your PDF. I get praises and tell them the arrangement is the creativity of lucamadeus! Are you doing any other special arrangements of your own these days? Folks, give this man some PayPal love in the tip jar and get this PDF. It's just a beautiful piece and one where I still come to back this video from time to time to hear luca play. I'm again dreaming of Audrey Hepburn!

[lucamadeus]

thank you SOOOO much for your great kindness John! :)

I'm very glad you liked my piano transcription! I'm working on some tutorials with Synthesia for now, but I'll do other transcriptions from my covers as soon as possible!

thanks once more John!

Man you are gifted with talent. i feel... the emotions.I closed my eyes as i listen and i have imagined myself travelling back in time.. at a cozy cafe in a rainy afternoon with Audie Hepburn and kissing her in the end of the day as the music ends.How i wish you made this longer though.then maybe i got to kiss her longer. salute! 5 stars!!!!!!

[lucamadeus]
