LOZ: Link's Awakening - Piano Medley 2 (Village, Houses & Characters)

[@Rael0505]

this guy's dynamics are incredible

[@robhulson]

So very charming, and your echo effect added at the end is just... like a warm hug. I've seen so much of the content you've put out, it's criminal you haven't blown up yet.

[@GabbPiano]

Oh thank you, that's a very nice comparison!

[@Dac_vak]

Dude, who are you?? This is incredible! I can’t believe this is the first I’m discovering your channel!

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you very much for these kind words.

[@therealbs2000]

Gabb is a legend of our time glad you are here

[@chroniquephilousophique9983]

Man it's literally like we magically plug a gameboy on a real piano. You are amazing

[@MegaDevmo]

Gabb -- you are wonderful. Thank you so much for providing the sheet music for your arrangements for free and including the fingerings. I just started learning piano (I'm 38) so my son (5) can see me struggle and be encouraged to play. This game holds a special place in my heart-my Grandma loved Link's Awakening and used to play it on her GameBoy with me back in the day. This morning, I completed my first clean playthrough of Mabe Village without making any mistakes. I'm looking forward to learning the rest of these songs in time.

[@GabbPiano]

Excellent! I am really happy that my sheet music are useful to you. Studying the piano is demanding, of course, but what a pleasure to be able to play the pieces that you like in the end! Congratulations on having mastered Mabe Village, I wish you as much fun studying the other pieces and hope that you will inspire your son to do the same. :)

[@harkas1147]

I have cried when something was happy, or sad, or evocative, or deep, but never before have I cried because something was so overwhelmingly adorable - until now. Nostalgia overload!

[@GabbPiano]

Your words are just as adorable, thank you! It must be said that the atmosphere of this game is deeper than it seems.

[@paulsimoni4058]

Je ne laisse jamais de commentaires sur KZbin mais là par contre j'étais obligé. Je trouve que ce que vous faites est génial, bravo !

[@GabbPiano]

Je suis très flatté de mériter un commentaire aussi élogieux de votre part. Merci beaucoup !

[@anne5251]

En le réécoutant je trouve ton jeu particulièrement fin:tu fais chanter différemment toutes les répétitions qui s'animent avec le changement de thèmes à mesure que le morceau avance . J'aime beaucoup....

[@Bcutter]

You are providing something that youtube was missing before you. An accomplished classical concert pianist (at least in skill level) who is playing video game music. You will be immensly popular, just give it time!

[@GabbPiano]

Bcutter, thank you. To be honest, I am neither the only nor the first classical pianist to play video game music. I like for example Martin Leung (Video Game Pianist on KZbin), or Sonya Belousova (PlayerPiano), to name the best known. In any case, it's a real pleasure to read your encouraging comments.

[@Bcutter]

@@GabbPiano I think Sonya is exceptional, but she is not uploading anymore it seems, and Martin is unbelievably musically talented, but he goes too much for quantity rather than quality in my opinion. You have an amazing combination of both quantity and quality, with lots and lots of super high quality thought-through performances :)

[@anne5251]

Très agréable à écouter .Très imagé. On en oublie le jeu video.

[@zamasterhando3399]

This is how these songs *should* sound, not what we got on the remake.

[@uflstallions_dynasty]

Hearing the Mr. Wright song reminds me that the same tune was in Sim City. I would absolutely love to hear your piano rendition of the Sim City soundtrack!

[@GabbPiano]

Damn, that's true. I've never played Sim City seriously so I hadn't noticed. But it seems that this music was originally composed by Soyo Oka and not by Kazumi Totaka. All my beliefs collapse... Thanks for the info anyway, I'll correct my sheet music accordingly.

[@Xipoctli]

I feel an energy in my body when I listen to videogame music like this, and also when I see these videogames images. Thanks Gabb

[@Jeeves72]

I really love how you brought together Write's and Christine's themes and breathed some new life into them! I've always thought those songs were underrated so I appreciate you shining a spotlight on them.

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you, Jeeves72! Yes, these themes are short but absolutely charming, it's true.

[@mansmord]

Sometimes, just sometimes, KZbin's algorithm does not disappoint. Great stuff! Seems like i'll be binging on your videos for a while. Subscribed!

[@GabbPiano]

Many thanks Markus, your comment is a lovely surprise on Boxing Day. Hope you'll like the other videos that have been released and to come as well.

[@sveendaag]

Gabb, my daughter is using the Mabe Village music you provided here for her piano final at school. Thanks for providing these!

[@GabbPiano]

Oh great! It makes me very happy! 😃

[@ryan89554]

I like The house theme it always brings back memories when i was younger

[@GabbPiano]

Yes it's a melody of great emotional intensity, I find.

[@ryan89554]

@@GabbPiano I also notice there is a similar sounding motif in the other songs such as the town I think just different notes(major/minor notes swapped), sound tracks tend to rearrange/blend different melodies together. ffix music does that alot

[@chriswilson97]

god i wanna cry it's so beautiful

[@GabbPiano]

🙏

[@UnNimois]

L'introduction est géniale, mais le reste de la vidéo ne démérite pas : très jolie interprétation. Le piano transcende la nostalgie de ces morceaux huit bits tout particulièrement.

[@GabbPiano]

Merci, UnNimois ! Je trouve aussi que la sonorité du piano se prête bien à ces thèmes.

[@g.davidturnblom5751]

This captures the spirit of the game beautifully and I love how the transitions between themes is presented so smoothly. Thank you, Gabb.

[@GabbPiano]

I really like the way you kindly describe my arrangement. Very nice of you, thanks!

[@g.davidturnblom5751]

@@GabbPiano You're welcome.

[@anne5251]

J'adore toujours. Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter...J'oublie tout et me laisse mener par la musique et ton interprétation!

[@MusiqueauSoleil]

Jolie musique, subtilement adaptée, exquisément interprétée!

[@frankthesauce]

Absolutely beautiful way to kick it off, dude. Damn near brought a tear to my eye. I LOVE it.

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you so much for those bright words.

[@frankthesauce]

@@GabbPiano No need to thank me, brother. Your talent made my appreciation possible. Keep up the great work. I love it.

So good and realistic sounding as if hearing it straight from the Gameboy! Subscribed!

[@GabbPiano]

Many thanks, DHarrisChillin!

[@thebbqprince]

I have spent weeks trying to perfect "Richard's Villa" but have really struggled with putting both hands together. Not only have you mastered it, but you also added your own brilliant twist to it. Bravo. Edit: With plenty of hard work I finally mastered this song! I hope that someday I can piece together a medley as great as this one!

[@GabbPiano]

Thanks, Logan! I actually allowed myself a little personal fancy to decorate this theme, but to tell the truth its natural sobriety is part of its charm.

[@jeremiah3355]

Underrated and true talent. You have a new subscriber

Love your videos! Raw talent, and I love how you stay so true to the original soundtracks. Keep it up man, can’t wait to see how your channel grows.

[@florianroeseler2404]

Stunning! Will you do also play the Ending Theme to Link"s Awakening? It"s not played often but an amazing piece of music.

[@GabbPiano]

Yes, it's coming soon. :)

[@iSti.]

This was extremely high level ...

[@hanzohatorri216]

Thanks master 🤘

[@BärenmarkeScotch]

its strange how a instrument changes a pieces mood. richards theme sounds like a barock piano piece. Interesting.

[@versusedge]

Le lettrage du medley, apparaissant aux doux bruitages originaux du jeu, est à l'image de ton interprétation: une subtile madeleine de Proust qui enivre déjà nos oreilles. J'aime particulièrement la finesse d'exécution de 3m04s à 4m04s, une minute enchanteresse.

[@GabbPiano]

Merci, cher Versusedge ! C'est vrai que la musique du fantôme (reprenant le thème du village des mouettes) est assez riche de potentiel émotionnel.

[@Krismerfol]

Großartig!

[@noln1537]

Your videos are so great, it's both a blessing (thanks for the sheets ^^) but a "malediction", cuz I will never reach this level in a thousand years :D anyways that's awesome, am a huge fan, please keep on the good work !

[@GabbPiano]

Oh thank you for such a nice comment. I am conscious of the fact that the sheet music I provide should not be useful to many people, being generally of a difficult level. That said, those presented in this medley are more accessible, most of which do not present insurmountable technical difficulties. I am also thinking about the possibility in the future of offering simplified sheet music of the pieces that I arrange.

[@noln1537]

@@GabbPiano some are indeed pretty hardcore but given the time it must take you it’s super impressive and useful!! Have you considered doing Kingdom Hearts ? These would also be perfect and match your style :)

[@GabbPiano]

@@noln1537 I don't know Kingdom Hearts very well. But I adore the compositions by Yoko Shimomura. So others of his music should soon find their place on this channel. :)

Magnifique. Ça sonne peut-être simplet, mais j'aime que tu prenne le temps d'indiquer les compositeurs, trop peu de gens le font sur youtube.

Awesome, that touches my heart. I feel like 20 years ago when I played it the first time. I really want the sheets for that please please please!

[@GabbPiano]

It's very kind, thank you! The sheets are always linked in the description, have fun! ;)

[@Krismerfol]

Will u play an Oracle of Ages/seasons Medley in the Future? It would make me really Happy!

[@GabbPiano]

These are indeed two great games. I remember really epic final combat music. But I think I will tackle other episodes of the series before.
