For Once In My Life| Pierre-Yves Plat (Piano Transcription)

You may find a few areas where the notes are different than the music, and that's because M. Plat asked me to amend a few places. For Once In My Life is a Stevie Wonder song from his 1967 album bearing the same name.

[@TimothyGondola]

Another fantastic cover by PYP :) Link to the PDF in description. To whoever answers first, I’ll email you the PDF- what mode can you play over the chord in measures 188&189?

[@arckanon13]

Lydian augmented mode?

[@TimDuncanofSoccer]

Whole tone scale with F as root note?

[@masondaugherty4564]

Several scales can work over it: F m3-h augmented scale, F Lydian Augmented, F Harmonic Major, F Wholetone, F Altered, as long as there's the 1 3 and #5/b13

[@TimothyGondola]

@@TimDuncanofSoccer that would work but its not a mode!

[@TimothyGondola]

@@arckanon13 correct :) shoot me a msg @timothygondola.com/contact

[@RealMoochie]

Now there's a man who never has to dust any keys on his keyboard.

[@Athompthomp]

yeah he's playing every corner of the piano

[@pamelaannfuller9410]

A gorgeous song with amazing chord progressions. This arrangement? PURE GENIUS.

[@schmittl1]

Man you out did yourself here! Your videos are typically excellent but this just stands on it's own. Well done!

[@kyizin5160]

Your channel is pure gold. Appreciate your efforts and sharing your knowledge with us. Keep it up man

[@giuliosmusic5037]

thank you so much for the transcriptions! i can't imagine how much time and effort you put into this for us to enjoy! btw Pierre-Yves Plat is a fantastic pianist and performer!

[@mrsaxman3602]

I absolutely adore this song! Thank you for transcribing it! Definitely adding this to my pile of music I wanna learn 😁

[@mikedaniels3009]

Timothy is da man!!! MAIN MAN, you pulled off another great score! Thanks so much.

[@piano9531]

one of the best things I've ever heard. Awesome job

[@PianoTranscriptions]

Nice work as always. If you admit a tip, you have to be a bit more careful with accidentals, for example, measure 2, Ab makes no sense, its much better G# (just like you did on measure 3 and 4); measure 3 its weird to have C# and Db, C# is better on this case as its an aumented chord and the note moves to D; measure 7 and 9, the apogiatura notes would be much better if you change Db for C#, like that the next D doesnt need an accidental to be a natural D. But the transcriptions itself is nice, this is a just details to make it 100% perfect. Keep it up.

[@TimothyGondola]

You're right, I'll keep these things in mind, thank you Pablo!

[@pseudotonal]

That is the first thing I saw. Even publishers of famous composers get these things wrong. In fact, in Scriabin's op. 74 #3 there are wrong notes in every publication I've seen except for Jurgenson 1914. It's because the notater didn't understand the music so any sloppy mistake sounded just as bad to him as the right notes sounded bad to him.

[@charlesbluett8195]

Lots of parallels with his "Isn't she Lovely" performance here

[@sunnysideupp1797]

Glad I’m not the only one to notice

[@milesmiller1468]

Good Keen eye and ear. Sunny too, but the is fantastic, original stuff and I, for one rank it as very high level appreciation of Stevie and who ever composed Sunny. His style is good and lasts for at least 30 minutes, if you know what I mean.

[@charleshudson5330]

Awesome. I am mesmerized by this piece and playing. What total fun.

[@charleshudson5330]

Am I just in the mood for this, or is this as totally spectacular as I'm hearing it? I was transfixed. Tapping my foot. Wonderful arrangement, marvelous playing. Green with envy.

[@jamescurgenven593]

Absolutely insane transcription! Nice one!

[@JediMaestr0]

That little chuckle at the end. Amazing

[@laserengraving6668]

Fantastic and as good as it gets. Lovely work.

[@mrbigg151]

Some smooth and clean work on those 🎹 !!! 💯🔥

[@Liz_4Him]

This gave me chills. Amazing talent ❤️ 🎶

[@tonylopez5821]

I'm a sax player for forty-five years, but listening to this amazing rendition is absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.

[@RaqbitChannel]

Nice version , Loved it !

[@josecruz-vega2070]

Spectacular pianist and remake of a Stevie Wonder classic

[@trancosomarcus]

You do an amazing job! Thanks you

So beautiful

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

Great work!

[@t555ize]

Wow,amazing!!!

[@sunnysideupp1797]

I was enjoying the music so much and then it got to the end and that guy’s “heh heh heh heh” sent me 😂

[@itaollin]

congratulations!!!!

[@zmanpianoman]

I don't crutique your music I just enjoy it. Thanks.

[@jeanphillippes2196]

The 'professors' of the great piano era (early 20C) would have probably used the trick of frequent transposition in any rendering - but this is the third Plat arrangement I've heard that remains faithful to the original key.

[@pianokeyfer6738]

Really nice! I think in measure 372 a note is missing on the last eights (maybe an E-Flat or somthing like this )

[@serpmolot5263]

The BEST !👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rafaelortsespadero4870]

Genial !!!!! Muchas Gracias !

[@acuriousergeorge]

Wow. His great arrangement and how in the world did you get all those notes? Fantastic. (Peter M.)

[@luanpiano]

Muito bom Timothy! Parabéns.

[@annaby2059]

Sensacional!!!!

[@bronywnm4742]

Pierre also does a beautiful version of la vie en rose, a transcription of it would be amazing!

[@77Chester77]

instantly good mood

[@ummaummaroblox]

For once in my life, I have someone who needs me Someone I've needed so long For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me Somehow I know I'll be strong For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Ooh, someone warm like you Would make my dreams come true Yeah, yeah, yeah (For once in my life) For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt me before) For once, I have something I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore) For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it" As long as I know I have love, I can make it For once in my life, I have someone who needs me (Someone who needs me) Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah (Someone who needs me) Oh, I'm in love, baby For once in my life (For once in my life) I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt me before) For once, I have something I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore) For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it" As long as I know I have love, I can make it For once in my life, I have someone who needs me (Someone who needs me) Oh, for once in my life (Someone who needs me) Yeah, somebody that needs me (Someone who needs me) Oh, baby, for once in my life

[@agnesdian8337]

merveilleux !!!!!!

[@Taki_Music_TakuyaKimpara]

6:43 This is for me

[@charlesvanderhoog7056]

Bar 361 is of course not Gm7 but the Barry Harris trick for the intermediate chord run Bdim on C6/C7 positions (or Ddim to Eb6, etc.) F/C is just a substitute for C7 that you encounter a lot in classical music, especially coda's.

[@thomasjulianhollon3580]

GREAT!!!!!!

[@soniacarvalho4399]

Just: wow!!!!!!

[@JanetWilliams01]

Amazing rendition. May get a little TOO crazy, even for me, but I love the song, no matter.

[@pianobar7801]

👏 bravo

[@christopherhovis9926]

5:35 should say “half time” instead of “double time.” Nice work dude! This must’ve taken a fat minute to do! Your account is amazing

[@Sasha1234575]

[@vonteflon]

Amazing. Great performance and transcription as always, but I particularly enjoyed the “jouez avec le nez” symbol!! 😄

[@TimothyGondola]

You caught it! 😉

[@nezkeys79]

Awesome! Btw do you have a transcription for that music that in the start of all your videos?

[@jimmybuffet4970]

Holy crap!!!!

[@jtshoes321]

Love your videos. Transcribing the songs we hear but cant play by ear is such an amazing thing for you to do. Im definetly subscribing. If you take suggestions. Could you transcribe Jesus is Love by Terrence Shider. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite pianists

[@mhajanchumren1200]

too goood

[@worst8753]

Tim! Are we gonna be expecting a transcription of Love theory played by Yoham kim?

[@pamelaannfuller9410]

How can I order a PDF copy of this sheet music (this particular arrangement)?? I clicked on everything and don't see an option to purchase it. Really am dying to get it and start practicing.

[@freddy7700]

👍 👍 👍

[@patchesrk]

Hey one question: Is it alright to notate bars like 9 and 18? The piece is in 2/4, but there are three crotchets in those bars. Is it alright to notate them without a change of the time signature, is it a stylistic choice, or what? I've never come across something like this.

[@rainfellforu]

1:37

[@chessua9250]

May I know the introduction piano song in the very first of the video?

[@worst8753]

Tim! Are we going to be expecting a transcription of Yoham newest video cover of Love theory by Kirk Franklin?

[@KALIDOR76]

[@thwype9725]

This is really awesome. But can you please make this into a Synthesia style? I’d love to learn it but don’t have the musical eye with notes on a script. I’m willing to pay as well

[@francescocossentino4981]

Hey man it’s awesome! Can I have the sheet music?

[@user-tj1oo4pc9l]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kirklurkpu4470]

may I ask what those notes are called on the 3rd bar of 4:24? thanks

[@niallhopkins3025]

says on the page, just slap the keys roughly, so it makes a noise

[@giuseppe_corea]

Waouw😁👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@kmicb5]

Trying to order this song sheet music but the website doesn’t work - trying to click in the field and button of song i want does not work. How can i order this music from a working website???

[@pamelaannfuller9410]

Me too! Dying to get it. THIS exact arrangement (transcription...) We call them "arrangements" in USA and give credit to the arranger. Is the person who does the "transcription" the same thing as the "arranger"? I am addicted to this one. Makes me so happy. I fell in love with this song in high school...many moons ago. And, I'm still crazy about it. Songs in the Key of Life.

[@kmicb5]

Transcribing is listening to a piece and writing it down exactly as played. Arranging is taking an existing song but arranging the parts for say a 5 piece band, or orchestra. They are commonly used in place of each other but in fact mean two different things. I want this piece so bad.

[@charleshudson5330]

Still smiling.

[@hlpianin]

Good job!) How much time you needed to write it? I do same and it professional interesting)

[@TimothyGondola]

Takes a few hours of work! I can usually knock out a transcription in 1-3 days.

[@hlpianin]

Thank you)

[@cem239]

I want to buy pdf, but link is broken..... plz check again

[@hyeonwoopark428]

Wish i could play this song before i die
