Howl’s Moving Castle - Merry-Go-Round of Life - Piano Tutorial with Sheet Music

[@TutorialsByHugo]

I hope you like this advanced piano version for "Merry-Go-Round of Life" from the beloved film Howl's Moving Castle! This enchanting and complex melody captures the whimsy and magic of the movie, and playing it on the piano is a wonderful challenge for experienced pianists, whether you're looking to hone your skills or just appreciate the beauty of this piece. If you'd like to follow along with the sheet music, the link is available in the video description. Thank you for watching, and if you enjoy the video, please consider giving it a thumbs up and subscribing to my channel for more advanced piano tutorials.

Hello Hugo ! I’ve been really working on this song during month but I ended up noticing that I was learning the wrong keys for this song, I noticed that Joe Hisaishi himself posted a tutorial on his YT channel long time ago but the tutorial also contains the cellos and violins (which makes the video horrible to actually learn it 😭) did you actually used the same keys than him for this video ? I would like to learn the original version and not a wrong version. Thanks for reading me !

[@Twilight_Tasogare608]

So the original is an orchestral piece. That’s why it has the string instruments. Hugo’s is a piano arrangement of that piece

[@albergoni2191]

This version incorporates the other instruments like the cello and violin. The original is simpler on piano so the other instruments can shine
