Die Sonate vom Guten Menschen (Sonata for a Good Man)

Me playing "Die Sonate vom Guten Menschen" from the film "The Lives of Others" composed by Gabriel Yared.

(From the scene where Georg Dreyman Finds out his good friend Jerksa has hung himself. He sits down at the piano and plays this piece, as Stasi Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler listens in and is moved.)

"Can anyone who has heard this music, I mean truly heard it, really be a bad person?"

beautiful interpretation- i just learned this on guitar, the voicings are intense!

@incubus421421 Thanks! Wow, I can't even imagine playing it on guitar.....

Your interpretation is beautiful and much smoother than my version and I simply love the sound of that UX5.

Just wondering,are you wearing headphones?

[WelcomeGhosts73]

@andrewpn aw thanks. I am totally sold on U5's now! and yes, I am wearing headphones because I was simultaneously recording into DP to get a better sound than the camera speakers.

@andrewpn i think the chord hanging down from her head is NOT a headphone chord. I know what those chords look like, and this one is definitely part of her Moog Transhuman Frontal Lobe Stimulator Module 6000

Wow this is amazing, chilling but moving and touching and beautiful. Wow. It speaks of soooo many emotions. Genius. Amazing.

After watching the movie, I searched for this piece of music on google. All I could find was really bad intrepretations and clips from the movie, then I found this. Very beautiful. Perfectly tempered with just the right amount of space...
