Piano Music v81

Jo

I was wondering if any of you know any good piano music. It can be secondary or primary or even instrumental.

Thanks in advance.

Primavera - Ludovico Einaudi

That one is really nice, thanks ;)
Parent
Where do I know this Primavera piece from ? hmm
Parent
prolly one of the most famous ones ? :p
Parent
Ofc ! But I'm quite sure I heard it in some movie / tv serie, and I the only movie it has featured in is the trailer of the Reader :( Or atleast that's what I've found.
Parent
Spamming keys randomly?
Parent
lol no.. i practised very hard and i hoped the result would be good
Parent
Well seems other people understand it, sry :D
Parent
it makes perfect sense though :P if you know the song.
Parent
Guess i've missed something then :D

Parent
Release lanparty @ my place?
Parent
you want to listen or to learn? :)
Ideally both ;)
Parent
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJDNSp1QJA&feature=fvst - sounds way harder than it actually is + you can get a sheet i guess :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZkfEEl5Y4Y&feature=related - a bit harder but everyone with any music knowledge will know what it is ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYZSmo8WtTw - really nice song, relatively easy, slow but with a huge impact on listeners
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niywYntBxRc - quite a sad song, middle part might be harder if you're a complete novice but those are just spread chors when you play it :p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lORWT3Kctw - a faster one, never really seen any music sheets of this. The fastest part is just a matter of practice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xacZFCPVCx8&feature=related - another Yann Tiersen song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLIaeb4FMZc&feature=related - cool one to learn, Muse :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJR6tb-0h4k&feature=related - Mad World, really easy to learn and it sounds good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbHQ_RRer5A - not even commenting on that ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcO8OmogSkE&feature=related - nice and fast, requires some skill

more if you want :p

EDIT: + anything Tim Minchin wrote, his solos are just crazy tho :D
Parent
Yann Tiersen - Comptine D'un autre été = I can play it, it's not that hard, but it's a very beautiful song indeed.

Linkin Park - In The End = I can't play that version but I can play the one by Scott D. Davis since I really prefer it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uU6YIeTTbA .

Kizuna - Fate/Stay Night on piano = I never heard that one before, but it sounds really nice though, I might give it a go.

Lilium on Piano = Sounds ok'ish, I don't think I'll ever try to learn it, but its a decent song.

Yann Tiersen - La Noyee = I can play it, I really used to like the song but nowadays it kinda bores me fast. (You're right about speed in general, it's always a matter of practice and not immediatly of difficulty.)

Yann Tiersen - Sur le Fil = I can play it, it's a nice song.

Muse - Uprising on Piano = Wow, I definitely am going to learn that, it has a really cool atmosphere.

Mad World Gary Jules Piano Cover = I can play it, it's very easy indeed, but it's beautiful, could listen to it ten times in a row without getting bored.

Star Wars-Imperial March - Piano = WHAT :D That is brilliant, though I would never try to learn it, not my kind of song.

Bleach - Houki Boshi = I don't know this one, but it sounds very fun to play, and it is a pretty good song, I might give it a try!

---------------------------

Check my comment to Tetsuo below, it really is a lot of coincidence that I know and can play most of your songs :D

I guess you play the piano yourself? ( More songs are always appreciated btw )

A big thanks aswell ;)
Parent
used to play a lot, lately less. Keyboard sux in the long run and cant afford buying piano just cause id like to play as a hobby :p
Parent
i think i asked you already but: did you learn piano yourself?
i want to learn it with youtube (with some keyboard atm but it has more keys than normal keyboards.. hope it will do it for the beginning). Can you recommend anything for learning? i started in december last year for abou 1 month (was able to play 1 song) but then stopped due to army.

a friend (she plays piano for ~8 years) said that when learning it alone i will never play as good as if i had a teacher as he sees stuff i do wrong which i won't see by myself. Is it really necessary to get a teacher? Maybe i could learn some stuff at my own, then go to the teacher for an hour, show him everything and he can tell me if i do smth wrong? Normally i'm a fast learner... and i can practice ~2-6 hours a day.. so i think paying a teacher for so many hours will be expensive :D
Parent
My grandfather learned me how to play when I was 6 and I joined an academy when I was 9, in my case it was a really big advantage as my grandfather is (was, his fingers are getting old) one of the greatest pianists Belgium has known during the last 20 years.

For you I would recommend organizing a deal with some teacher for 1 hour a week, it's the best sytem. She/he tells you what you should learn and you do it, the next week you get feedback and a new assignment.

When it bores you ( the practice ), always keep telling yourself that nothing is impossible on the piano when you put enough time into it, nearly everything is possible anyway.
Parent
thats exactly what my friend told me.. but when i started learning it (in december) i learned like 3 hours new stuff with youtube and practised that for ~6 hours.. and on the next day i was able to learn new things again.. so progress would be way faster than with a teacher that shows me 1 hour stuff per week? :/
Parent
You have to look at it from a different angle, the teacher is not there to "learn" you anything the way you put it forward, she's only there to tell you what you do wrong ( mostly technique-wise ).

You have to learn everything yourself on a piano, but the feedback is worth every euro you pay for it if they know what they are talking about.
Parent
alright.. and how should i learn it myself? just random youtube vids or books or.. ? :P
Parent
Books, with instructions and feedback from someone experienced, that is the best way ;p
Parent
alright.. i will check out some books (or maybe good youtube vids since some people make tutorials as well :P) and visit some teacher from time to time :)

thanks kevinboy
Parent
that swiftwater one is awesome!

or mr. davis one ;D
Parent
Wtf at the first one, not even going to comment on that :o)

Swiftwater is amazing, Scott D Davis and Yann Tiersen are my favorite pianists ( add in Yiruma and I think you have my top 3).

If you like Scott DD you should download his tribute to Metallica (Pianotarium), he also has some really nice bonus songs on there (Lament, Inner Battle, Return To Sanity ).

I tried asking him for those sheets through email but he only wanted to give me Lament, I bought most of his other sheets, but the bonus songs are not for sale :(
Parent
well i never really wanted to learn those covers, was rather into anime music (and i still think some of it is great).

if you like Uprising you should look for other Muse covers. There's shitload of it everywhere.

and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zekdq55R74&feature=related :p

im done for now, cant see the screen anymore ;D
Parent
That song is amazing, wow.

Gn, and thanks again ;)
Parent
True ^^, learned how to play it some years ago.
Parent
ive been looking for a while for some similar songs cause it helps me focus when i study :p if you have some pass some links pls ;) i like the relaxed piano feeling

Can give more if you want, though I'm a bit too tired to think right now, I only posted songs I can play myself now since they are the first that come to mind, they're all from Yann Tiersen ( just as your post) as you can see, he is a brilliant composer.
Parent
so beautiful!
Parent
Check my post above, Yann Tiersen is awesome ;)
Parent
ofc he is :D
have the soundtrack of amelie anyway, its a must!

e: the first one sounded hard to play
Parent
Pianosongs are hard to judge, sometimes they sound very easy but are difficult to play, and the other way around, bleh :P
Parent
GOD im goin through all of your postings! nr.3 <3
guess i will say it forthe others too, but i wanna finish this one :DDD

whos the player? your hands arent like that i guess?
Parent
Faruk Tuncer, a random youtube-uploader who plays most of his songs really well.

And WHAT do you mean about my hands? I mad :(
Parent
lol, i dunno your hands!
couldnt just be yours ;)
and damn! that stuff is really calling some fairies, calling me to sleep. so beautiful!
Parent

forgot to add that one, is one of my favorites
Parent
your fingers, unseen?
Parent
my youtube channel got deleted because of a copyright-claim from metallica, should remake one sometime though :(
Parent
really should. isnt it it enuff to say what song you are playing and that it is a cover on *random instrument* ?
Parent
My description was something along the lines of :

"This song is originally composed by Metallica, and was originally covered on the piano by Scott D Davis, I do not claim any authority on their works and all copyrights belong to both Metallica and Scott D Davis depending on what version you talk about."

I received an email from youtube that I had to remove the video, but two days later (before I even read the email), my account got deleted, they didn't even give me the chance to backup all my video's so I lost most of them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sZK4Hd28VA : This was the song btw, the video I uploaded had some mistakes in it, but I could play it perfectly, something I'm quite proud of since it took me a very long time to learn, I would guess it took me over 100 hours.
Parent
but why are there all the other videos on YT then?
hard to understand for me

E: so scott d. davis is a genius on piano?
Parent
I have no idea, it blows my mind as welll.

And yes he is, he's the man. :()
Parent
guess i will never understand that copyright shizzle...gnm8
Parent
La Chute
i even sampled something from that...yeah, but it failed, here ;D
Parent

Chopin is all u need.

one favourite that you may not know already

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRASjN4Gims
How about Concerto No 1 for the piano ? Have you listened to it yet ?
Parent
not shostakovich's, no

don't listen to much classical atm
Parent
My favourite composer is Prokofiev.

Arguably the hardest cadenza in common piano repertoire. (Piano concerto no. 2)
Precipitato from Sonata no. 7 (with sheet music)
Vivace from Sonata no. 8 (with sheet music)
Vivace from Sonata no. 6 (with hot asian)
Sonata no. 3
Sonata no. 4, mvt. 3 (with sheet music)
Etude op. 2 no. 1 (with sheet music)
Suggestion diabolique (composer himself at the piano)
Sarcasms op. 17
Piano concerto no. 1
Piano concerto no. 2
Piano concerto no. 3
Piano concerto no. 4, for left hand only
Piano concerto no. 5 (one of my favourite works)
Toccata op. 11 (not the best ever version, but you can appreciate the pyrotechnics here)
Small Pieces op. 12 (some of the more accessible works, you will definitely like no. 7)
Visions Fugitives op. 22 (composer himself at the piano)
March and Scherzo from the opera "The Love for Three Oranges"
Etude op. 52 no. 3 (from The Prodigal Son, composer himself at the piano)
Scherzo op. 52 no. 6 (from Sinfonietta op 5/48)
Pastoral sonatina op. 59 no. 3 (one of the more accessible works imo)
'Montagues and Capulets' (Dance of the Knights) from Romeo and Juliet
Waltz from War and Peace
Waltz from Cinderella (with sheet music)
Gavotte from Cinderella
Quarrel from Cinderella (with sheet music)


And more. But for some pieces there are no professional (or in some cases, bad audio) recordings on youtube. :(

I'm not an expert on contemporary or minimalistic music but I guess you'd like Joe Hisaishi judging by your other posts. He has written a lot of film scores and music for classics like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, etc.
I'll give your post a look when I have some more time tonight, thanks already ;)

Moonlight sonata
ask perfo.. he is a pretty good taste at pianostuff
Mozart piano concerto 9, 17, 20, 21.
Beethoven piano concerto 2,3,4 (5 but not a must)
Chopin piano concerto 1
Shostakovitch piano concerto 1
Bach : Goldberg variations by Glenn Gould (the Aria especially)
Schubert trio (opus 100)
Erik Satie : Gnossienne, Gymnopédie 1
(Will link later if you want to)
Shostakovich 1 is a fun piece. Especially the last movement, which (fun fact) includes a very obviously reference to Haydn. :D

Also - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWbgSguUbQs - imagine this happening in a live performance. Listen to the trumpet at the end. :D
Parent
This movement is truly awesome :D but I failed to see any link with Haydn's sonata (even after listening to it) :/
Parent
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z8egy9bJ9U#t=56s (0:56 if it doesn't work)

Listen to the violins and trumpet, they play the Haydn Sonata! :D
Parent
I think I've spotted it ! :D thx !
Parent
Oltremare is extraordinary beautiful, might give it a go.
Parent
As is most of the Divenire album, glad you like it. Report back if you decide to play it, or maybe record :))
Parent
I'm quite sure I'm going to give it a go, the length is a challenge, so is the "feeling" (you know what I mean), depending on how motivated I am, how much time I have, and when I receive the sheetmusic, well, it should take me around a month or so I think, I'll let you know something when I'm done blasphemizing this song :()
Parent
Sheet music http://www.scribd.com/doc/16741434/Ludovico-Einaudi-Divenire-Piano-Solo-Book : ))

Didn't know you played btw! :) Song is somewhat lengthy sure, I'd be happy just to hear a small sample of it :D gonna get my keyboard out now and have a look at the song pretend I can play it :p
Parent
Been playing for 14 years, though I took a break of 2 years sometime during my education. That site is awesome btw, I might just became an annual subscriber, thanks <3
Parent
I actually checked every song in this journal. 98% of the songs i was going to post are in here already. But this journal is still missing one of my favourite piano solo.

e: y can u no be in youtube? -.-'


I'll try to find the song from somewhere.

Here's one more for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMZVbkDefno
Check my reply above to Hansoo, Youtube screwed me over :(
