Albeniz - Asturias 

Hi! You guys know Albeniz? Albeniz and Granados are a famous Spanish composer. If you want to feel Spanish classical music, I recommend that you guys try to listen to Granados’s and Albeniz’s pieces. Several years ago, I was invited as a pianist for Albeniz’s Iberia Concert. So, I have got attached to Albeniz's pieces. Today, I prepared the piece “Asturias”. It is well-known as a famous classical guitar piece. But, originally, it was composed as a piano piece. Asturias is the region which is located in north-west Spain. I tried to find out the composition background of the piece “Asturias”. But, I was not able to find the accurate information. Some papers say that it describes the war in the Asturias region. But, I am not sure that it is the accurate information. If you guys know the accurate information, please leave the comment. It will be helpful for people. I hope that you guys enjoy this piece. Thank you! Have a nice day!

One of the most underrated pieces. It's widely known as a piece for guitar. The original was for a piano. Of course the guitar version is warmer due to the nature of the instrument but your playing is surprisingly warm too. Keep up the great work, more of these spanish pieces should be recognised.

Note: after playing this piece, your D-key won't work anymore

Q : "Did you do it? did you play Albeniz?" A : "yes" Q : "what did it cost?" A : "my D key"

Did you know that... Asturias, was, first, named Leyenda by Albeniz The name Asturias was given to it posthumously by the German publisher Hofmeister, who included it in the 1911 "complete version" of the Suite española, although Albéniz never intended the piece for this suite. This music is commonly played on the guitar but was originally composed for piano. So thank you kassia for sharing this music on its original instrument ❤️

The people who disliked are the ones who don't have a D-Key

Good luck for reaching 400k subs

I really love the transition from when the keys were a red color to the gold. It went from a mildly epic tone to a very calm and relaxing one. Man I love pieces that transition like that.

Wow we posted at almost the same time. Heard this on guitar before. Really good rendition! I wish I could learn as fast as you!

"The thing about this piece is that it says 'Let me show you what the piano can do.' It has everything from unique chords, to percussive parts, to lyrical lines. Everybody plays Liszt and Mozart and Chopin and Schubert but this piece...it's so off the spectrum. No one's ever even heard of it. It's like its own universe." My piano teacher told me this when he taught me El Albaicín by Albeniz about a year ago. It's become one of my favorite pieces I've ever had the pleasure to play. My piano teacher's words can be applied to a lot of Albeniz' pieces, including this one. I always get excited when I watch your videos and recognize a familiar piece or composer, but I'm beyond ecstatic that you performed Albeniz. As always, thank you for sharing your music :)

I’m wondering who’s here from Anatomy of a Fall?

I wouldn’t have ever expected Albeniz on this channel! You never cease to leave me astonished, also this piece... this piece is Gold poured onto the Music Sheet, great choice! Also, I don’t think I’ve ever said this, but the Editing in your video is so well done! The particles are numerous but aren’t a nuisance, indeed a joy to the eye. Great job and thank you for your performance!

This is the first time I'm listening to this piece! Thank you for introducing us to a new piece. We really appreciate it Kassia!

Bravooo

Thank you for this. My dad is a pianist. He is in his last days due to parkinsons disease. I've been searching for weeks he used to play this for me as a little girl. I was running out of time and just found it. Thank you for this. So much

Kassia, this is a beautiful piece and you played it flawlessly. Thank you.

Thank you, I'm learning this right now😊❤️

One word - Legendary.

Perfect piece to play when your dad just fell out of the window of the 3rd floor and the police suspects that your mother pushed him.

As a Spanish I can say you deserve +10 million subscribers. UNDERRATED PIANIST 🔥♥️

Это удивительно! Лучшее исполнение от Kassia❤️

The colors really contributed to the piece

WOW. I have never heard that piece on piano before and I've always thought it was written for guitar! You played it beautifully. I think my jaw was dropped throughout the entire performance. Bravo!

Thank you very much 👍Завораживает.не могу оторваться. Такая подача классической музыки подходит даже моему пятилетнему сыну.

This has more D's than la campanella has D#'s. great job

This song makes me want to go walk my dog and then forget if i was inside pr outside when i heard my parents having a nice calm talk with blaring music in the background

Какая же красота 😍 От классической музыки далека, а если и слушаю, то только двух композиторов и всегда без видеоряда, но тут было просто невозможно оторваться. Игра по-настоящему завораживает!

I can't stop listening to this! idk how you do it! please continue to make amazing videos. People need them btw

Как же это просто люто!🔥🥶🙏🏿

Es maravilloso como oír como tu tranquilidad se desvanece en una aún más profunda, gracias por subirlo. ❤️

I just discovered this song about a month that ago on Spotify, and fell in love with it. What a great song. Then you make this video! I can't believe my luck! Thank you so much.

Learning this on guitar, such a beautiful piece.

I love this piece👍🏻 I'm always excited to see your videos

It sounds really good! You really did the intensity of the first part well and the trailing off ending was superb

Virtuosity combined with excellent interpretation!

when i was 13 years old, i learned this for a recital. at a young age i was very musically gifted and i used it to my full potential i opened youtube for the first time in a while and for the first time in 12 years, i found and heard this song. it was such a pain to learn but somehow i remember it. also, i miss this song. this song brings back childhood memories so thank you so much. ❤

That's really cool to discover new pieces (and a composer) like that. It's refreshing, thanks a lot.

우아아 카시아 님 정말 잘치시는데........................ 가뜩이네 잘치시는데 또 한번 명곡 네시네요!!! 언제나 늘 존경하고 감사합니당!!!

You have such a diverse repertoire of pieces it's always a delight to watch your videos and find pieces I've either heard and enjoyed but never known the name or new pieces that I can enjoy just as much as the classics.

Der Wahnsinn!!! Toll!!! Danke 🙏

I played this piece on the guitar some years ago! I think it looks even more difficult on the piano! Wonderful performance as always Kassia :)

Amaizing, this is by far the best piano channel in YT

Wow I have heard of this composer before but never his music. It’s incredible.

Amazing speed. I love it.

¡Mágico!., ... primigenio. atención en el ejecutante, cual prestidigitador encantador de los sentidos casi sin advertirlo logra que la pieza hable, cuente.👋👋👋

It's nice to see you diversify your playlist. You did a fine job on this one! :D

I just love that piece !

Simply, amazing.

아름다운 피아노곡 아스투리아스의 전설을 들려주셔서 감사합니다. 어렸을 적부터 악기를 하나라도 다뤄보는 것이 꿈이었는데 이렇게라도 듣게 되는 것이 영광일 따름입니다.. 다른 멋진 곡들도 연주해주셔서 더 많은 구독자 확보하시길 빕니다.

Спасибо за ваше творчество👏👏👏👏👏👏

this is one of my favorite pieces to play on guitar. loved hearing it on piano. Great job!

Esa es mi favorita! Que bueno que la subistes!

Yes, i do know Albeniz, It is an amazing piece by an excellent composer. I had listened to it before played on guitar. I am currently watching, I haven’t finished, but it is an amazing rendition from what I have watched.

Always glad when new videos drop

A mudança de cores foi uma ideia sensacional!

Wonderful piece, so complex and so well played on the piano. Love it! 💖💖🎶🎶

This is so beautiful, Kassia!

Según Paola Hermosín , joven andaluza guitarrista, ya Albeniz había compuesto: Granada, Sevilla, Extremadura, dedicò esta Leyenda al Norte de España recordando el flamenco y la jota Aragonesa. Increíble Kassia tu versión en piano.

Such good music is worth waiting for.Thank you Kassia 👍👏🌹🌹🌹💕.

Oh my God!! I couldn't find a proper piano cover for this. This is one of my favorite pieces of Isaac albeniz... Amazing performance

I never thought I would like such a different piano piece as this. Most people think of Beethoven and Mozart, Chopin or Liszt. But they should also think of Albeniz due to this amazing composition. I've never heard this on the guitar, but I'm sure it's just as beautiful. Amazing as always, Kassia.

It's an honor to witness 0 views 0 nothing and just the video

I love this song!

Восхитительно! Безумно хочу теперь это сыграть!

I was waiting for this one

Ты чудо) спасибо тебе, сам пианист знаю как сложно это разобрать и ровно сыграть)

WOW! THE BEST PIANO ASTURIAS PLAYING!

Siiiiii por fin encuentro algo de música “clásica” española. Eso es algo que nunca me gusto de España, y es que estuvimos muy cerrados a la música de Europa Central, y pese a que se ve la gran influencia de música tradicional, el hecho de componer para piano y no para guitarra fue un gran avance en la música de España. Lamentablemente, más tarde con la dictadura de Franco nos cerramos a la música del siglo XX y nos perdimos mucho. También eso ha reforzado la mezcla actual de nuestras venas árabes y europeas, teniendo ahora compositores sin igual como Antón Garcia Abril, o en este caso a Albeniz. Edit: ya conocia esta obra y a compositores españoles, lo que pasa es que no había ningún canal internacional grande de musica que se interesara minimamente por estos compositores, Enhorabuena Kassia!!! Me encantó!!!

When I see a new video I was like "i'm gonna learn it immediately" Then I see the first minute and i change my mind ahaha

With guitar chords amazing

Amo essa música! Obrigado por tocá-la!

Honest question: do you drink Red Bull?

Anatomy of fall...

Masterpiece! Bravo!I realized I had never listened to the entire piece, beautiful discovery

I love this song 😊

Nice ! This is the kind of piece that i heard everywhere but i never know the name of it. I'm glad you uploaded, thank you ! :-)

As always, very good performance Kassia!!

Me encanta esta pieza en piano!!!

I love this piece🥰❕I’ve heard many pianists play this piece. Esteban Sánchez, & your version are my favorite🥰❗️Thank you‼️

Oo I love this one! It’s the first track on my spanish guitar cd:D

Happy slightly belated birthday Albeniz!

Awesome! I love this piece and that was an awesome playing, thank you for playing it!

What a rendition!

Brutal...tiene que ser de las más difíciles de tocar

Kassia! Your performance is really great! I kept it secret until now lol. This is epic! You are amazing. Keep going :) Btw this leds are amazing too. Congratulations :)

I have been learning this piece so it's amazing to see you play it so well!

I like the energy you put into your play

Im starting this piece in piano now. Wish me luck lol.

Toda semana um compositor diferente. É ótimo ver essa diversidade musical. Parabéns! Recomendo Shostakovich para um futuro vídeo, ainda não há nenhuma das obras dele em seu canal e são poucos os que as apresentam. O Concerto para Piano n°2 , I. Allegro seria incrível. Obrigado.

Wow, it was like finger dance. Awesome play 👏👏👏

After each song you upload, I just don't listen to any version of it except of yours. I mean, it's good to find different versions and know them, but you play every note just like I want it to be. Thank you!

Мой мозг получил просто сногсшибательный массаж!

Thank you very much kassia ❤️ , it's hard on guitar (I am trying to learn it) but it's easier on piano , THANK YOU

This is amazing and mesmerizing! Thank you!

Amazing Spanish classic.

Imo, this piece isn’t REALLY hard, it just looks so because it’s fast. If you learn the notes you’ll realize it and once you practice more you’ll get better and eventually you can play it as fast as this video! I play piano and I was in 4th grade when I performed this piece. In the beginning, I started pretty slow, then practiced more and more on this and faster! Reminder: Don’t be so scared to play this because if you listen carefully, the piece is very repetitive. Also, when I learned this piece I started with both hands together-not sure if that helps everyone though. Overall, it took about me 2 months and a half to complete this piece. I hope this helps you and you won’t be so scared of playing this anymore! 😊😊

Thank you for introducing me to yet another amazing and beautiful piece! As always, great playing!

Formidabile, thank You so much!

it is SO GOOD , SO OVERWHELMING 😞🤍

Daaaamn this looks quite damn hard. I feel like ive heard this.. greeattt job Kassia!!
