glimpse of us if chopin composed it - easy version

Hello guys, sorry for my disappearance. Those of you who saw my last video will have understood my absence. I have gone through a heartbreak and I have taken advantage of these days to reflect internally and improve myself. I'm going running and hiking every day and I'm also going to a climbing gym. All your messages of support in the previous video have helped me a lot, so thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are the best!! ❤
Regarding the piano, I have been working on some arrangements, and I have also been improvising a lot because sometimes I get too lazy to write the scores.
In this video I bring you another version of my cover "Glimpse of us if Chopin composed it", this time an easier and reduced version for those who want to play it without spending so much time on it. If you like this format, tell me, and I will upload more easy versions of other covers, since they are very easy and quick for me to make.
You can find the sheet music here: drive.google.c...
Among the arrangements I've been making are Another Love, Seasons and Dancing Queen. I'll probably do some of the songs I'm missing from La La Land.

You should start releasing this stuff on Spotify. I would listen to this day and night. Edit: I just looked through some more comments and saw you were working on it. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music. I am a new follower. I am amazed by you and your talent.

[@kiiyuuko]

YESS please!😊

[@skb1di]

i would really recommend musi! it’s a lot like spotify without ads (there are ads but you can continue listening to the music without the disturbance) and it’s on there since it’s an app that lets you listen to any videos on youtube even when your device is closed 👍

[@skb1di]

There is a music app similar to spotify but the ads aren’t bothersome and it has all youtube videos on it the name is Musi

Once again this man doesn’t disappoint. Birru do you have any recommendations for beginner pianists? And for how long have you been playing? Glad to have you back!

[@berrycool0]

Hearing your rendition of this song was incredibly moving! You are amazing and though I suspect I won’t be able to play this for a while, I can’t express my excitement that one day l’ll be able to. Thank you

[@user-ew9fs2qw3v]

Honestly your Chopin Glimpse of Us bring me so much peace! Thanks for the masterpiece man!

Hey lad, I discovered your channel after a difficult breakup as well. Your music is incredibly soothing and has helped me romanticize my life, thank you. Glad to see you back hope things get better

[@Purplesky-yx6yx]

i live for these videos, im so sorry for what you've been experiencing. I've been going through something somewhat similar recently, and listening to your piano is genuinely so healing, it's helped a lot. I kept coming back to the first glimpse of us arrangement you did, so i'm so glad you did another :')) thank you again, i hope you find solace in what you do because i think it's beautiful

[@naim6841]

Una mierda que estés pasando por una ruptura, de verdad. Me encantan tus vídeos, se podría decir que eres mi canal favorito de piano. Verte tocar cosas que para mí se me hacen imposibles más allá de desanimarme me dan esperanzas de saber que algún día llegaré a tocar igual, o mejor que tú (es broma eso es imposible). Sigue así de verdad, me encantan todos tus vídeos. Recientemente me apunté a clases de piano ya para empezar a leer partituras y tal, y creo que voy a intentar tocar tu arreglo a ver qué tal. Te deseo todo lo mejor. Y ya por último solo recuerda que el sol siempre vuelve a brillar.

[@NateDawg74]

You're so talented and I truly appreciate your free scores that you provide on most of your pieces. I am currently half way through of learning the hard version of this piece. It is incredible the way you are able to simplify it and especially the "Chopin" part of the piece. I also went through a heart break around this time last year, while everyone heals differently and circumstances are different for everyone, just know that it does get better, use this as a source of motivation, dedication, to your craft. I always get excited to see your arrangements, much love

[@User-um4mp]

Both versions are amazing. love how you make each piece special in your own way. Watching you content always motivate me to practice more

[@shazneentabassum9833]

Birru, I first stumbled across your cover of glimpse of us and ever since then I have watched almost every cover of yours. It's remarkable, how delicate and passionate your playing is. You inspire me to play again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful talent with us. I hope you never stop creating the magic with your fingers and your soul.

[@gabriel-accetta]

I recently went through what you are experiencing, and your videos were essential in giving me the inspiration I needed to stay strong. I dream of one day being able to play those beautiful pieces just like you! Glad youre back, stay strong!

[@taraak3385]

thankyou so much for this easier version! Im a violinist and i first knew about your channel when i saw your other version of this piece, i fell in love with it and tried playing it on the piano, but that proved much too hard for a beginner pianist 😅 Appreciate your channel so much, lots of love from thailand!

[@JE4NJU]

Love the simple version just as much! Both variations have different charms :D

[@javierbirruezo]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@faqenz3902]

Hey man! I love your arrangements and I think they are best on KZbin because they include elements from classical composers. I'd love to see you play classic stuff as well like Chopin etudes and such. I hope to see more arrangements from you.

[@ohiomyfired]

hey I just wanted to say that I deeply appreciate what you do❤ always heightens my mood when I see you uploaded :) as a somewhat younger pianist, you‘re a great inspiration for me, especially that Howls Moving Castle of yours is a beautiful hommage to so many great pieces by Rach and Liszt that I one day would love to be able to play myself😅 thank you for the easier version, some of your arrangements tend to be a bit too hard for me to learn „on the side“, appreciate it so much!

[@deadlydoodles3721]

Could you do a simpler version of your arrangement of End Of Beginning? It's like legitimately on loop a lot for me and I have been trying to learn with the score but it's pretty difficult

i tried giving the main version a chance but since im still a beginner playing different melodies that fast was soo difficult, will give this one a chance! Thanks for the amazing music again

[@NateDawg74]

I have been classically trained for 8 years (now in a big break because of college) I would definitely attempt this first. His hard version of this song is very challenging even for me, especially past page 3 (I don't have the score next to me or I could tell you what bar/measure haha). Good luck! This arrangement is still absolutely beautiful.

[@sirhatart]

@@NateDawg74 Oh definitely agree! My “attemps” are me just trying out some parts slowly at most hahah, even this version is very difficult for my level to play from beginning to end. I’m still trying to learn how to do two hands playing different melodies without my brain exploding.. Piano is such a beautiful instrument, even practicing some notes and trying to see if sounds similar is very fun. I LOVE the end move at the hard version but it looks impossible hahah.. Training 8 years on such a beautiful instrument must be so rewarding

[@scentofink2952]

@@sirhatart You might want to dissect this piece down into digestible parts. There are various techniques and styles he implemented into this arrangement. Repetition will be key in order to memorize the flow.

She'd take the world off my shoulders If it was ever hard to move She'd turn the rain to a rainbow When I was living in the blue Why then, if she is so perfect Do I still wish that it was you? Perfect don't mean that it's working So what can I do? (Ooh) When you're out of sight In my mind 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of the way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us Tell me he savors your glory Does he laugh the way I did? Is this a part of your story? One that I had never lived Maybe one day you'll feel lonely And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse Maybe you'll start slipping slowly And find me again When you're out of sight In my mind 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of the way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of the way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us

[@cyril048]

You will remember this heartbreak in a few years, then you will thank her

[@javierbirruezo]

You are right, I already feel grateful now but sometimes I go into this loop and think about everything too much. It's hard to let go but it's the only way. Thank you for your support! ❤️

[@via7779]

​@javierbirruezo It'll be OK, man! Someone I had been with since we were both 13 replaced me with someone else after 4-5 years of a very emotionally abusive relationship. I actually used to cry a lot while listening to Glimpse of Us because I thought I'd always see him in every new person I met and that glimpses of us would haunt me forever since he was my first love. Right now, however, 2 and a half years later, I am not only completely over and at peace with what happened between me and my ex, but also couldn't be happier than I am with my current boyfriend, who is undoubtedly the love of my life. We've been going strong and healthy for over a year now and still act just like we did when we were first falling for each other. It might feel like you'll never be happy again right now, but you're in for so much good stuff! You just have to wait for it 🤍 Thank you so much for your music and all the best to you!

[@kalocraft2206]

It is never too late! Look at Frank Tedesco (he is also on youtube)m he started piano at 14 and went to Burkley to study music there. I think playing an instrument is probably the best thing a person can do and it will stay with you for your entire life. So go for it!

[@zanderallan4373]

No start ❤

[@javierbirruezo]

As you have already been told here, it is never too late to start, in fact it has some advantages and that is that you are more mature in every way, emotionally, intellectually...
