Just a thought: Edvard Grieg is a Norweigan composer . Might be worth exploring some of his music. His Concerto in a minor is a WONDERFUL piece!

Grieg is great I think! Proud of him of course, hehe. You should check out The hall of the mountain king. Im going to learn that one day...

Orcestral Version:

Its just awsome how it building up till a great finish!

I've gone tired of "The hall of the mountain king" because it's overused in a way, it's all over the place.
But it's still a great composition. But would be fun to check out some of Griegs other works.

well i guess
the hard parts are these like, arpeggios in 16ths which are difficult to play (at least for me) with the best accuracy, its fast enough that casual listeners probably would still be like "OMG HOWWS HE DOOOO THATTT" but it bothers me to no end to get those wrong. all in all its a lot of fun to play, took me a long time to learn though.

I see Its a great piece Why not record it and upload and create a own Performancetopic here on the forum?? Would be fun to see you play it

For the moment I dont practice any new songs

Hehe, I guess there is a reason for that
But you practice on the guitar still?

I'm learing right now the Penguins song that Andrew play in one of his videos, it's sooo cute that song and funny

Yes, but right now I'm only playing what I already know, to get them smoother... Music consist of rythm, lead etc... I've always used to learn the lead because I'm not a good singer, but today I search around on youtube and I found a guy that was explaining chords and strokepatterns... I decided I will look into that kind of stuff, I can play chords, but havent really used em to play songs, but would be great If i'm ever gonna play on a party, songs that all people should know, then they can sing along etc...

I should maybe dry practice on the broken keyboard, so I still have the fingering down


Kahlan, let us know when your finished, penguins are fun, I havent learn the whole piece yet, but I will

Oh, I'm posting again? Quiet in this thread ^_^

I tried to "dry-practise" ( no sound ), but that sucks, that's like almost impossible for me,
because my brain get confused when there isnt any sound from the key I'm playing.

Anyway, I started to listen to my Final Fantasy soundtracks, and there are so much good pieces, I dont even know where to start,
and that's only the little problem, the other problem is that every day new pieces are made...
So I'll expect Uematsu and other composers dont really memorize all their pieces,
because if they do I have no clue how they can be able.

But I also noticed that I actually remembered hearing 99% of the FF pieces, amazing brain, how it actually can remember that...
Right now I just want a digital piano, guitar is ok, but there's something special with a piano...

I'm gonna waste some money on the lottery... ^_^

One of my ultimate goals in my piano playing has always been to be able to play many of the great video game music pieces that I fell in love with growing up: Stuff ranging from Mario and Zelda, even to a couple of songs from Pokémon. I can play several simple versions now, but want to be able to play the more complex varieties eventually!

I agree Im planning on learning some of the Zeldatunes, mostly from Ocarina of Time og A Link to the Past. But also some others! =) + mario!! Great Plan Depo

i'm currently memorizing Bach's little fugue in g minor(bwv578) and toccata and fugue in d minor(bwv565)...halfway done with both i can say:)
i wish to learn prelude and fugue#12 in f minor(bwv881), which you are master at

Once I learn to read music for a piano... I'm going to teach myself Ode To Joy But until then... just following along with the YouTube videos.

I'm halfway through Last song by gackt, his songs are amazing. I wanted to play his other song, Redemption from FFVII but the notes are too confusing for me at the moment.

My Teacher suggested me to Learn Chopin Scherzo n 1 and Bach Prelude 2 of the WTC1 and also to complete my study of the Chopin sonata n2 3rd movement Marche funebre, so im currently learning those three

I really like the song marriage d'amour by richard clayderman. I am not able to read sheet music that well, so I am using a combination of sheet music and a MIDI file on Fl Studio 8. I just can't seem to get the left and right hand movements down. Thats my two cents...

I wanna make a request

I'm about 15 years to late, and to late to be able to watch 9 seasons before the movie isnt shown in the cinema anymore...
Yes, I'm talking about X-Files, I've just started watching season 1, watched 9 episodes...

I'm impressed over how good it is, and amazed that I believed it was horribly scary when I was 7-8 years old ( and at the time, 90's, there was a bunch of UFO stuff in magazines here )...
The theme still gives me chills, but I've never watched X-Files, just saw the preview when it was about to air next episode etc...
It's still kinda creepy ( I'm 20 ^_^), but I can watch it without peeing in my pants....




My request is that someone records themeself playing the X-Files theme

Okay, Now I'm learning "allegro" by bach. My grandma says I am going to learn a Chopin peice, and I'm excited because it would be the first sort of... more intermediate peice. The ones I've learned were "Mozart Sonata in C Major" and part of "The Maple Leaf Rag". Also, "The Hungarian..." (something I forgot, it's from the movie "Wacko's Wish")

Im currently learning Scott Joplins - Maple Leaf Rag
Half way trough.. Got to get the motivation to start learning the hardest part, section C ...........

My current repertoire consists a few grade 5 pieces:
(As usual in Russian syllabi; the opus numbers are often missing)

Variations on a Russian tune by I. Berkovich
( the tune is "I sit on a small stone"; really silly)

C.P.E Bach: Solfeggietto (almost done!)

A. Loeschorn: Etude C major Op.66 No 12(done?)

J.S. Bach Gavotte from Eng. suite No 3

And a horribly difficult Sonata that I'm even afraid to mention

Curently I'm learning (at least trying to ) Adeste Fideles or Oh come all ye faithfull. However you want to call it.
Not very difficult, I know,ut I'm learning a lot fom it.

Yeah, I think I got half way through too. Up until the part where it goes:
BUM BUM BUM BUM,
Baa da da da da da, bumm da da da da daa, da da da dee da.
