Ab Ovo - Joep Beving (Piano Cover) 

Just keep practicing like you did and You'll make it ;)

Joep Beving is 6'10. That fact makes me feel better about myself when I have to rule this song out because I can't make those stretches.

This was actually the first piece I learned as this was the piece that inspired me to start playing piano. As I discovered this piece I thought: "this is so beautiful, yet so symplistic, I could play this!" Without knowing how tall Joep Beving is or how big his hands are and how much he actually takes advantage of that. I'm 2 centimeters shorten than Joep Beving (he's 6'10, I'm 6'9), luckily I'm absurdly tall as well with a good set of piano fingers, but I've never felt this kind of cramping in my hands before with these chords. Also I really wasn't prepared for the ending of the piece, it took me three weeks to learn the entire piece, and about half a year to play it without hickups, consistently. I'd still say it's a great beginner piece since I never felt unmotivated to learn it, as long as you got big hands and feel something for the piece. Most of it is really easy, but don't forget Joep used the be a Jazz pianist and he needs to show off a little in almost every piece he composes.

@@adambergstrom3650 there are clever solutions to it. With the chords just play the note he plays with his pinky one octave higher. The chords will sound almost the same. With the ending you can swing your hand from left to right as he doesn't play the notes at once.

Oh God, I'm 5'6 and can barely reach the notes 😂. Gotta make some fake fingers to lengthen mine 😂😂

He sure has a lot of beautiful pieces! ;)

​@PianoTimeOfficial you made me discover sleeping lotus which I absolutely love and play very well rn ❤

Glad you loved it!

I'm glad you liked this! No problem. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Thank you for watching!

I agree! Reading sheets is an exhausting task ;) glad you stopped by

You can short the chords by just not playing the top note. But your hands will grow bigger %100 so just hang in there

My hands grew after a while of playing the piano

@@efesykn1 now I'm 19. I started when I was 13ish

Thank you! Happy New Year!!

Hello there! I'm glad you came across my video :) The transition is just little transition. If you do it differently and it works. Then keep doing that. And. You're a beginner. I've played for 6 years at the moment ;) And. I don't have manly hands. I'm not even 20+ ;) Thank you for your compliments

Thank you so much!

Piano Time you have a new suscriber!!

@@frasbaz9 Thank you so much

Thank you very much! I love this piece.

Thank you for the compliment ;)

hey, I don’t know if you already found a way that works for you but you can actually pick up some of the notes for the left hand with your right hand. In some parts where this isn’t possible you can also separate the notes from one chord and play them quickly so it won’t be too noticeable :) from someone with small hands lol

Did'nt even think of it in that way! Good advice! Thank you

Goodluck! Thank you for watching

There are unfortunately no sheets available for that piece. And playing it by ear is really difficult because there are a lot of notes. Sorry for dissapointing. But it's just really hard :/

You can order sheets now , he's released them

Indeed. I'm happy how this video turned out!

I'll take a look. But it's going to be really hard because there's no sheetmusic

@@PianoTimeOfficial yes bro, i know. Tanks! "Undus mundus" by joep beving to jaja??

@@marionuno226 there also isn't any sheets available for that one :/...

@@PianoTimeOfficial YEAH PLEASE DO SOLITUDE!!!! JOEP BEVING

@@enverkaanozcifci4740 hmmmmm... ill see... ;)

Hey there! Ill take a look for you ;) no promises as my requests are a little full

@@PianoTimeOfficial thank you, for considering.

@@LILLOWISAPILLOW No worries

Just practice practice and practice and you'll get it!

What do you mean by doing an octave?

There is some sheets on musescore but it isn't that accurate :/

it be best to order it from Joep himself

i can play the main riff tho

@@idoleyesd i understand that thats frustrating :/ but! Maybe you can alter those chords little to make them fit your hands ;)

@@PianoTimeOfficial I started yesterday since it was a present off my dad, i’ve not got any sort of lessons booked i’m trying to make my own way though like i did with guitar. any idea what shapes i could use instead?

@@idoleyesd you could try just normal major and minor chords for example: c major: C, E, G

@@PianoTimeOfficial appreciate it i’ll try it

No! All these pieces are recorded in 440HZ

Do anyone have a trick to train the fingers to sprite the fingers?

Hello there! Yes. You definitely need some long fingers for the left hand!

@@maximilian99811 For now. No. I'm sorry. But i don't have any tips and/or tricks at the moment. Sorry....

Thank you for the help my friend!

Ne çalacaksın?

@@PianoTimeOfficial Bu parçayı :) parçanın sonuna kadar geldim, kitap okurken duymuştum. hoşuma giden parçaları sizlerin sayesinde öğreniyorum. Nota bilgim olmadığı için izleyerek zor da olsa çalmaya çalışıyorum. Teşekkürler ☺️

No, I don't have the sheet music. I played this piece by ear. And I'm happy that you liked it!

@@PianoTimeOfficial wow thats amazing

@@braaij4991 Thank you very much. I loved the piece and didn't wanna buy the sheet. So I did it by ear. It isn't that hard. But after 5 years I guess that's normal. Thank you

@@PianoTimeOfficial thanks tot replying💗 good luck with your channel keep it up!👍🏻💪🏼 love from holland!

@@braaij4991 Thank you so much again! I really apreciate everything you said 💗 Love from the studio

I'll take a look. But as there is no video of playing or sherry music available I think it'll be very hard to do it by ear... we'll see ;)

@@PianoTimeOfficial thanks for the respond here is the link musescore.com/user/29430770/scores/6107268

Hahahaha. Thank you :D

Es una sensación extraña, sí.

I agree on the fast part. The floating bit is always better in the original one. Because of the microphones and the piano he's using. It's always better than a virtual one ;) but I'm hoping you enjoyed!

@@PianoTimeOfficial yes. Its great for learning! I meant no disrespect. It just so happened in the same day a friend and I were discussing technic vs feeling. And I totally get the digital piano doesnt allow the notes to sustain as well as his do. The same way, a youtube comment doesn't allow tone and intention to come through. ;)

@@fino9475 I see what you did there ;) Don't worry! I never meant to be mean or salty XDD I appreciate you just telling me. So thank you
