The full livestream had nearly an hour of music and then ANOTHER hour of talking so I thought it was a good idea to upload an edited video with only the music. Enjoy! Also, What would you like to see me play next?

[@friedrice7]

Chrono Trigger!

Glad I got to experience this live, and you can tell so much about how every piece in the game is connected based on the main theme

[@iLikePiano]

Glad you could tune in live! Yeah I wanted to talk more about the relations between all the pieces to the main theme but I was already talking too much LOL

[@wavynocturne]

@@iLikePiano I actually wouldn't mind seeing a video on how every piece is connected to each other but I think 8 bit theory has already done that but probably not as in depth as you would go into it. (Hey, there's an idea for a video as you said you didn't know what you'd be doing after the stream) Another idea would be Celeste's Piano Collections.

[@iLikePiano]

@@wavynocturne That's a good idea! It would be hard to do better than 8 bit theory though. He covers a lot of things already in his 3 videos on HK. He did miss though that the Dirtmouth/Greenpath theme was just a skeleton version of the main theme. I think there definitely are many other connections between the HK music that has yet to be talked about though. It will result in a 1+ hour video though LOL

[@felipezymor9970]

Wow, Sealed Vessel just chilled me like the first time I heard it. Goosebumps to hear that. Thank you!

Winning that was so funny 😆 I have a question about playing piano- whenever I am playing 16th notes and stuff fast, my fingers tend to “run away” and I play too fast and then I get off beat. Do you have any tips on how to help with this?

[@roycecoolidgespianoemporium]

I can't like this enough! You did what I'm hoping to do -- play through the whole collection. I'm nearly through Queen's Garden, and will probably learn the main theme next. Some of the tracks (cough Radiance cough) seem really far above my play level. But I love to see you performing them!

[@iLikePiano]

very nice! Queen's Gardens was one of my favorite to play. Yeah some of them were pretty difficult I have to admit 😣

[@ZZZZZZach]

Beautiful, that was incredible. Very underrated. I just got this book not long ago. Do you have a list of what you'd consider to be the easiest - hardest pieces?

[@iLikePiano]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy playing the music in the book. They are not the easiest to play but enjoyable. I think the easiest is "Reflection" then maybe the "Hollow Knight" (the main theme) but it has a lot of big jumps. "Dirtmouth" is also not too bad, it has a lot of triplets but as long as you are comfortable playing those it's not too hard. I think "Queen's Gardens" is next in line as one of the easier ones. For boss themes they are all a little tough but "Dung Defender" is probably the easier one.
