This is Melodies of Life, from Final Fantasy IX Piano Collections, composed by Nobuo Uematsu and arranged for piano by Shiro Hamaguchi.

I could write a thousand words about the probably most beautiful song ever to grace this world, but I think CheonHoPark already hit the nail:

"Melodies Of Life is definitley my most "Favorited Piano Piece of All Time," and relating this piece to the FF IX Game... is emotionally oustanding.
Out of everything in my entire life... this is the only musical piano piece that actually "could" make me cry."

Amen. I second every word he said. This song encapsulates the beauty of life with every single note.
I hope, I was able to convey this. Please also listen to the original pop ballad sung by Emiko Shiratori, then you'll fully know, what I'm talking of.

I am struggling to learn this for some time now and the i mastered the beginning (until 0:50). But there it goes.. Atin, or somebody, you got some advice on how I can cope the fast left hand from 0:50 on?

[Atin1337]

@TheOnlyYomalolo

Learn the left hand seperately for at least a week. Only learn -1-2 measures a day, until you can play them by heart without any hesitation. Then slowly add in the right hand.

[MaboroshiPan]

Great playing. I was pretty sure those were female hands till I found out your name was Marco. LOL

[Atin1337]

@MaboroshiPan

uhm, thank you, I guess...

[lukessj]

You sir...Are a HERO !! If it was up to me you should have at least 1,000 times the viewage !!! Keep up the phenomonal work ! I read all your intros and how you feel about the music in the description for everyone of your videos...DONT EVER STOP PLAYING !!!

[Atin1337]

@lukessj

Wow, thank you for that. It's great to know some people share my passion. I need this once in a while. ^_^

[bunnyfish]

Having said that the 'rubato' section that followed was just fantastic. Good work!

[bunnyfish]

GREAT JOB! You've clearly spent a lot of time learning this. Couple of points I picked up on, please don't take it the wrong way! When you go into section C, you're playing those triplets at the same speed as your semiquavers in the previous bars, so it seems you lose track of the rhythm a little bit... Also, towards the end, (around 2:50) you do a fantastic job with that diminuendo and bring it right down to piano on that right hand B octave. Keep it that way though, you get INSTANTLY louder!

@Atin1337

Okay, I'll try that one, thanks! :)

I honestly cant understand why you dont have more views. So many memories and emotions accompany this song. Beautiful, truly beautiful.

You have just gained a subscriber.

@MaboroshiPan No, those look like male hands... they're too angular and blunt (lol paradox) to be female.

[DDiaz111]

Oh my lord, I will learn this song for the sake of the piano learning, twas excellent my brother, applauses!
