  • 5 people don't play the piano.

  • Beautiful rendition; to me, too many pianists get too caught up in the music and play it too fast and miss all the appropriate pauses.

  • Have any of you heard the story that was written about this piece? After it was written, someone gave it an accompanying story. A man being buried alive. Can't you hear the church bells at the beginning? The somber mood is so well portrayed I can almost picture people standing around a casket all dressed in black. The middle part: waking up underground. Frantic. Clawing your way through earth attempting to reach the surface. All to die just before you reach the top and escape. Bravo.

  • this music makes me feel like something bad has just happened i wonder what does it makes you feel?

  • Now it's six! :(

  • Limitless!

  • I want this song to be played at my funeral......

  • @then1ght93 I'm trying to play this piece currently and I still thumbs-upped it. xD I'd argue that the chords are harder than the fast triplet part.

  • 5 people tried to play this piece xD

  • @trollumadjelly 5 people dont have good taste in music and/ talent... i dont play piano but this is beautiful :)

  • I heard this is about a dream he had in which he woke up (in his dream) and found himself inside a coffin being buried at his funeral. The middle part is his torment as he realises that, well.. he's alive and heading for his grave..

  • Slow makes this much more powerful and dark.
