FF Concert - FFVII - Aerith's Theme

[@tisuforyou2]

AND you pulled off that tricky trill after the parts with the triplets!!!! You're gifted, for sure

[@xCodeXANA]

You're the only person on youtube I've heard play this song EXACTLY like the original piece. No faults, no incorrect tempos. It's just perfect.

[@Arkton]

Thank you very much, Jonny! It's great to hear you also like this one and had that effect on you! Oh, it's so much different playing to an audience instead of just your camera. When making videos for KZbin, you can try as often as you want until you have a nice recording. In a concert, you only have "one chance". There are always mistakes.

[@mcooperisonit]

Absolutely immense playing, beautiful

[@ErikCPianoman]

Dude this is awesome. That's pretty sweet that you gave an FF concert. Have you thought about doing the FF VII Main theme? It's one of my favorite tracks from the game.

[@Winterheart00]

The emotions I saw in the performance you made on the Clavinova while playing this piece, :( honestly, I can't feel it here on this piano.

[@CleverDjembe]

What a treat. I would love to have been there :) A live concert really is a test of how well you can perform under stress. Completely different situation from a practise room. Just thought people should know and appreciate that.

[@tibaal89]

I very much enjoyed this, even if the performance perhaps wasn't your best as you state. Look forward to more videos, awesome! =)

[@rapidrainy]

This is the way the piano should sound like, haha, and the "touch force" on the piano is just right.

[@Arkton]

Thanks, great to hear! You know, I'm almost never happy about my performances in front of people. But I guess that's normal =)

[@OhMyQueen]

You're always marvellous, I really like the way you play and of course I love all the pieces you made by FF really beatiful :D

[@Chocolinx]

Whoa how many cameras are on you?! That's too awesome! I'm glad you're back with this new vid! We missed you lol Keep up the great work.

[@DuskCrunch180]

amazing... simply amazing well done!

[@Arkton]

Thanks =) Yeah, no watch this time! ^^ Hopefully there will be more. Once I get the time to convert & prepare the videos (which won't be all too soon I think)

[@nugety]

Wow a new video from you!

[@iluvfinalfantasyx]

took me like a month to learn, but it was worth it!

[@Jaymon1203213]

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@fabledreamor]

This Aerith's Theme arrangement is in the Final Fantasy Piano Collection VII. You can find this book on Amazon or Ebay or GameMusic. It costs about $25 plus shipping cost.

[@calbee219]

really nice to finally see you perform on a piano too :) of course though...the performance itself, as Im sure you are aware of, isn't as good as you're regular recordings. But I've taken into account that this was a recital performance with an audience too. Well...I normally have no audience at all, and play on just my grand. Playing on a different piano all of a sudden with even just one person as an audience can be quite challenging, if it's new to you. At least that's my experience...hehe

[@TokyoJen]

ha! I think i heard one or two small mistakes :) Nah not really. It was perfect, I got chills at virtually every note you played.

[@k.m.1578]

I come everyday to listen to your beautiful music. Well done, on your other Piano sounds better. But in both ways, *applauds* GREAT job playing this Song!

[@Arkton]

This was my first solo concert, the second time performing on a grand piano. Usually I only play in groups or in a BigBand. One hour of playing, including nervosity, was a completely new challenge. Considering being nervous, there were of course mistakes, and with it came the tendency of getting faster. But I hope, the more I perform to an audience, the better it will get.

[@Krissi8friends]

youre magical :D

[@vxsonata]

niiiiice!! O_O!!

[@tundrasretreat]

*grins* Yes, I agree with the others, beautiful. I love the fact that you still play with emotion, and aren't too woried about everything else.. I'm currently learning the piece, I really want to play it for my GCSE performance, I've pretty much got it now but, god those triplets!! *laughs* But back to you ;) Brilliant. Loved it.

[@012finalfantasy]

Wow.....it sounded just like the origional! Aside from some little mistakes but that doesnt matter! Great job!

[@crakklepop]

haha i hear a beeping noise in the distance ^^ asome playing though

[@calbee219]

wow O.O My mind always works well with you're interpretations. Although, your tempo got a lot faster in the second half.. well, I dont even care much about the mistakes. Very few videos move me to the point to when I start getting the shivers. lmao not the shivers down ur spine when its cold, but hrm...I wonder if other music lovers have this too. Anyway its a rare thing that happens.

[@hsiodd]

amazing wished i can play like that x( anyway good job =D simply

[@jawamaster]

I once had to record a professional recording in front of a tv camera for a cello song. That was in janurary about in middle school. I messed up so much, had to restart about 4 times.

[@yoonvsaechao]

angelic

[@drdread]

Amazingly played bro. Lovely piano too. I say post your other vids..I'm sure they're all worthy for posting on KZbin; especially since *IMHO* you're amongst the FF piano veterans on here anyway =) As disconcerting as some performances may make you feel, I'm sure we all just wish to enjoy your playing and there will be an absence of any random stupid comments *you know what I'm talking about!*

[@bubblebeam8888]

@Arkton that's why i hate playing in front of others. it just takes away this feeling of freedom while i play when nobody listens or is expecting something. well, maybe that's just my a weakness.

[@YukiBomb]

Omg I'm in love! Where are you based??? I would love to attend to one of your performances.

[@Zamyye]

I can finally see your face. :)

[@Arkton]

Thanks! Am I looking funny? =)

[@sharpenedhands]

So Arkton, we all want to see your original pieces also! we already know you can play. Vote if you want to see Arkton's compositions.

[@mikemoseley]

Geil Thomas!

[@Arkton]

I agree with you. There isn't enough time just at the moment =) Yeah, college (if that's the right term in English), or more strictly speaking, "university of applied sciences". Thanks!

[@yocentunltd]

Awesome performance,between,may i have the sheet musics ? the original one... I cant get it though i search through all the websites.... PLS.... Someone who have it pls help me... Thanks...

[@mS28811]

I say upload all of them.

[@ChristianLeovido]

5*****!!!^^=)

[@Kuraud0]

if youve played ff7 this makes this song alot more sad.

[@rooo1o]

how long have you had practice before you attempted this song? hopefully not too long. i wanna play it myself and i've had about 4 months of classes or so

[@yocentunltd]

then where can i get the score books from?If i really wan to buy it... I've search it for a long time...But yet i cant find...

[@hikari1811]

Hey...I wanna know where you get the sheets? I'm looking for it. Lols.

[@jesusluvincognito3630]

By the way great performance though

[@FreackZz]

erm there are faults...though minore ones..probably becouse of nervousness...i played this at a recital and lol.

[@Strayling]

lovely piece. In college? i say, although i enjoy your pieces, focus on college. You can upload later in life. but getting an education young is always better. So focus now amigo. WHTM

[@jesusluvincognito3630]
