Hi, I'm an amateur pianist who plays in my spare time. I originally created this channel as motivation to practice and actually see what I could do if I polished up my pieces to performance-standard. I've been classical-trained for a number of years, so you'll find some classical music on here, as well as pieces from video games/anime if I find them pleasant enough.
Recently, I've finally been able to acquire a concert grand piano of my own, so my focus has expanded somewhat to learning how to record it with great audio quality in the comfort of my own living room. I hope you enjoy my videos!
I totally misunderstood the title because Chopin ACTUALLY COMPOSED A "FANTASY in f minor" (Op. 49), which normally takes 12-14 minutes to complete, but this video is about five minutes short, and it consist of two nocturnes and one étude... 😂 I hugely recommend you to listen Chopin's real Fantasy (Op. 49) played by Zimmerman or Seongjin Cho.
Ooh, so tasty and right up my street, thanks for introducing me to this pianist (Shinya Kiyozuka)! You should go really out of your comfort zone and have a go with your own jazz arrangements? 😎
Or let me know if you fancy trying any of mine, and as I'm such a fan of your playing I'll let you have sheet music for free if you like any of them... ru-vid.com/group/PL0sZ0MK31wvK18Ti0dJXCch7wqCINkd15&si=KW5YdgcwOQ67Fee3
Yes, very beautifully done. I loved watching your hands and seeing the notes played so gently on the keyboard. Chopin must have known when he wrote this song that it was perhaps one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
A Russian pair used this piece at the Winter Olympics in figure skating many years ago. I think it was back in the Soviet era. Only recently I found out it was by Rachmaninof. Now I can't get him out of my mind.
Your playing is fabulous and let me also say, what a marvellous sound that piano has! Took me by surprise to hear tone like that out of a digital piano.
THE greatest of all the nocturnes and, quite possibly, the most beautiful piece of music ever written. Your performance is outstanding! Just superb... truly. There are a few things I'd do differently, but that's just me. Bravo!
i first heard this in the movie his majesty okeef which the the movie i saw with my first love 63 years ago. i didn’t know what the piece was until many years later but every time i hear this i am transited back to the arms of my first love in 1961
It's just amazing that ANY human being could write something so beautiful. The Genius of Rachmaninov shines through above all others! So simple and yet soo complicated at the same time. Brilliant!
This pianist is so pianistic suave; with his arrangements too. The waltz of the flowers has been one of my favorites since, I suspect, from my dear mother’s womb. Perhaps, ole Tchaikovsky was thinking mostly of roses while writing this masterpiece? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm? PWG
I play piano and can play this song as well, but wow does this guy have the hands of a God, the sheer accuracy, swiftness, grace, professionalism, improvisation, and skill, is absolutely bar none phenomenal. This man has obviously put the time in to know his scales, sharps and flats to a "T". Well done. Hard work pays off. Thankyou for that stunningly beautiful, nastalgic and unforgettable piece of music.
Very lovely playing! Forgive me if I am a bother, but do you have any tips for training my fingers' strength evenly? I feel that I am lacking in my ring & pinky fingers & my thirds are definitely suffering from it. Any advice is greatly appreciated. 🙏
Did you like the NV10 you used to play in older videos? Did you find that it had some major negatives that could have deterred you from buying a digital/hybrid that expensive? Was the SK sound realistic? I already use VSTs since they sound better than what digital pianos come with, but do you think dropping $19,000+ on a newer NV10 one day would be worth it for the grand action feel since just getting an acoustic wouldn’t be possible. 👀
People who call this "old people music" are basically brain dead. There is a big difference between young vs young and dumb. It's like food... People only like what they know because they didn't give anything else a chance. In the case of romantic period music, ESPECIALLY nocturnes by Field, Chopin, and Alkan-- It's pretty safe to say nearly every single one is musically potent. A lot more potent than fake musicians who can't even sing, play an instrument, or do anything beyond faking it for their fans anyway. -Someone who has obsessed over music much older than this since I was a small child. P.S great example of Garritan CFX VST thanks for uploading! Been looking for some alternatives to my current options: Arturia v3, pianoteq, and pianoverse. Mostly very satisfied with pianoverse but i'm very impressed with Garritan CFX now. P.P.S Also an amazing performance to say the least. The context provided by your dynamic control is both beautiful and powerful. Bravo!
Has a Steinway D in his Living Room Recording it like a professional studio Performing a Rachmaninoff difficult piece with perfecto musicalite and articulations meanwhile: About me: Hi, I'm an amateur pianist who plays in my spare time!
This is joyous. I often wonder who you are, and where you are in the world, and why you’re not concertising. I say that as a professional pianist and piano teacher myself.
