Musique pour la tristesse de Xion (played on grand)

This is "Musique pour la tristesse de Xion" from the Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts: Field and Battle. Music composed by Yoko Shimomura, arranged for piano by Sachiko Miyano.

I already made a recording of this, but for one, I was requested to make a recording on an acoustic grand, and then there was also some criticism regarding my interpretation. So this time, I play it a bit slower and with a lot of the "breathing" that was so prominent in the original CD recording. There are also a couple of mistakes in this, but altogether I think it's a decent take and I wanted to do this before I forget how to play the piece completely. Enjoy it for what it's worth. This time, contrary to my Concert Paraphrase recordings, I would say that my first one is better, but that will depend on your personal preference for sure :) Let me know what you think. Hope it's "breathy" enough for you guys this time, if not I am afraid you might hyperventilate if I attempted to do even more of it, haha.

HOW DO U DIVIDE THE SEXTUPLETS AND SIXTEENTHS i struggle =_=

[Verdegrand]

@Ziggyiggy1 Hello, that's basically a 2 vs 3 polyrhythm. Those are hard to play or imagine at first if you're not used to them, but you can learn them with a few tricks, and once you get a feeling for them, they aren't that hard anymore. Check out Lypur's video about polyrhythms, he explains it very well. Greetings

@Verdegrand Haha, that should be helpful, I've been driving myself mad thinking about it! stick diagrams and calculations, then my hands are to confused to even consider attempting the damn thing. If I could ask a question of my own, how do you do the accents fluidly. I find I have to slow down to hit the keys harder and I can't figure out a solution.

[Verdegrand]

@LoneWolfOnTheHeights yeah haha often the most complicated segments can be broken down to simple ones and become manageable :) i'd think a good solution for those accentuations is to not perceive them as accents, but the other ones as "non-accents". the melodic notes form a line around which all other accompanying lines move, the melodic notes act as "starting points" and as "end points" for all the other lines.if you try to feel it that way, it will also change the way you play the entire part.

wow ur grand's keys seemed soft. :) i started out playing the keyboard, then i bought a grand, and i can barely press the keys, it is always like that? :)

[Verdegrand]

@megadiabrous Hi, yeah that makes sense. Most keyboards have plastic keys that are rather easy to push down. Then, when you try to play on a real piano, the keys make the impression as if they are extremely heavy to push. I've had that myself. Greetings

I guess an upright's keys are lighter than a grand's, because I have a keyboard at home (P155) and when I first went up to an upright, the keys were so light! Dynamics then suddenly became a problem.

I love 2 vs. 3 polyrhythms, but I can NOT do them for this song.

[Thesnipingacademy]

God! How I loath you so for having such a remarkably beautiful Grand Piano and the talent to play that beautiful song.
