Musique pour la tristesse de Xion [Kingdom Hearts 358/2]

It's a new video! I finally got my new recording gear set up. More info on my blog: http://sebastianwolff.info/news/2011/10/music-for-the-sadness-of-xion-kingdom...

The Piano Collections version of Xion's Theme, from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It took several months to ... well, not quite perfect, but get it to this level. There are a few errors. Cookies to you if you didn't notice them.

Would you say it's easier to play if you have bigger hands and/or longer finger. Mine are kind of short, so usually can't do a 2-note chord that's like C-to-D(an octave higher). I've been able to adequately play Saber's Edge from FF XIII, but I'm wondering if finger length matters.

[GermanSeabass]

@XavierK018 Size matters, but it's not the only important thing. There's definitely ways around it. Not everyone's blessed with Rachmaninoff's hands...

If you're having trouble reaching, you can always arpeggiate it--play the bottom note first, and then reach/jump to the second note. That usually works for me if I'm trying to reach a 10+ chord.

Good luck!

You go to Fanime!?

[GermanSeabass]

@VenxAqua Of course. Who in the bay area doesn't?

[Rubberflippers]

I never knew you sew! Nice organization 13 cosplay, btw. Are you planning to ever go to an anime con?

[GermanSeabass]

@Rubberflippers I regularly attend Fanime and a few other cons in California.

[GermanSeabass]

@Verdegrand Thanks! And absolutely -- finally figured out a fast way to record and upload everything.

[GermanSeabass]

@joshi3joshi We totally do! And yep, HD rocks my world.

@cem1891 i'll add don't worry about a few missed notes or as i like to call them performers editorial nonchord tones lol. what's more important is that you play it musically and as an audience we come away having felt the emtion you and the composer wanted to bring across from the score. in this digital age we're too precoccupied with digital perforection, seldomly outside of the studio with multiple takes does this occur. even the super stars of piano will hit a bauble here there when live

[cem1891]

great job on this. the cosplayish approach to the peformance adds to an enjoyable video, the music shines, congrats and thanks for sharing your talent

[silentKeys20]

This is totally gorgeous.

Took me awhile to figure out you're wearing an Organization hoodie

[kalvin126]

[GermanSeabass]

@BigMarioFan100 Nope; never been to Canada. Going to Yaoi-con in SF this weekend though.

[dissonantchord]

Beautiful. Well played.

I wish I had fingers like yours LOL

[OtakuKingdom]

I didn'd notice the mistakes. Now send me all your cookies.

Btw, awesome but... the volume... it's a little bit low D:
