Musique pour la tristesse de Xion (Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts: Field and Battle)

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.

There is a good chance you probably might not like my interpretation of it. I thought the original recording on the CD was way too slow and it didn't 'flow' naturally, there was too much 'stop&go' or 'breathing', whereas I had the impression this was not coming from considerations regarding the interpretation of the music itself. IMHO, this constant 'hiccup' combined with the slow tempo drastically tones down the drama and the intensity of the second half and prevents the buildup of energy in the first half leading to it. So I play it faster and try to let it flow.

Listening to this again... your technique is so incredible and flawless.

And yes, faster is a bit better for this song. :)

[Verdegrand]

@GermanSeabass thanks a lot. just for the record, let me say that there are actually quite a few mistakes and flaws in this recording. but i appreciate your remark nevertheless, thank you. and i'm happy you enjoy the tempo, i think that was one of the most criticised things about this video.

Amazing once again Verd. I should just change my playlist of "best vids" to "Music from Verdegrand". Also curiosity strikes me...where did you come up with the handle Verdegrand?

[Verdegrand]

@weltal2 thank you. and among others, it's a reference to the plush in my avatar :)

Honestly I much prefer this to the original piece. The emotion just flows better and it feels a bit more like Yoko's original piece in-game, I think this pace catches the power of the original composition more. Although the original piano version's breathing evokes the feeling of sobbing and crying.

when it gets to 2:30 my heart starts to ache from the beauty of it

[TimeLessRiverCoLa]

Whenever I play my left hand part at around 1:00 it always covers up my right hand which i try to bring out which just creates a huge mess of sound... Any tips?

[ChocolateWithAlmonds]

You played it beautifully!

[Doomkid100]

you need more passion~ you played it to... straight ahead, rushed to much and especially for this music, you need a emotion with dynamic (not piano til forte but diffrent tempo)

[MsMyMy98]

[Leyatsu7]

[IamJoeyyy]

Anyone who doesn't like the tempo can suck my left toe.
