i think it would be awesome to play this peice with my school band...do you think there's an Alto Clarinet part out there? o.O

[PaulBartonPiano]

@sweetness902101209 -- you're right, it would! - not sure about an alto clarinet part but you could be the first to make the arrangement if not. Hope you get to play it with the school band.

I've been practicing this song for a short time and I find I'm having trouble playing the last line of page one and the second line of page 2 where the melody is in the left hand. Normally I can end up picking it up but for this song I dont seem to be getting any better. Do you have any advice?

[PaulBartonPiano]

@taylorinuzuka -- I'm going to make time for a bunch of tutorials - if this piece interests you I'll put it on the list. I think you'll agree, it's one of those 'must play pieces' and is a bit tricky at times as you say, in those places. Get a strong feel for the chord shapes, just play the basic chords up and down without the melody, then return add it later once you have these chords second nature, to add melody. Good luck with it!

Great version! Do you have any tips for pianists with very small hands? I can barely stretch an octave (and I mean barely at full stretch!) I'm 33 so please do say wait until you're fully grown cause I ain't gonna grow anymore lol. I really want to play this and In the Hall of the Mountian King!! Thanks

[PaulBartonPiano]

@nuttynatty1999 -- If you can reach an octave you should be able to play this arrangement and definitely the Grieg. I wouldn't let your hand size ever put you off playing the pieces you like. If there's a note here and there you can't play, omit them and enjoy making music with the notes you can.

You make me wanna get myself a job so I can buy a keyboard cause this is really cool.

[pieboy620]

I beleive on the very last measure you didnt do a triplet rather, just two chord notes before the final chord, just an observation wonderful perfomance though, bravo!

*GREAT, i mean :P

[andrea260791]

You're just GRAT! I wish i could play piano like you some day. I'm actually studing music and, i must say your video inspired me a lot to keep going on, no matter how hard it is..
