Howl's Moving Castle Theme [Piano solo + sheet music]

[@elika1936]

So basically I learned how to play like half of howl's moving castle a few years ago. I want to relearn it but I lost the sheet music I learned from originally. Now I'm going thru every KZbin video with free piano sheets trying to find one closest to the one I learned off of. I remember a few things from the sheets I used and I think this arrangement is the one closest to the one I played before... I will continue searching for THE sheet music I used a few years ago, but if I can't I will play this. :)))) Thx for the great arrangement

I can understand that's frustrating; I've had a similar situation and your muscle memory just freaks out when it's almost but not exactly the same :)) Good luck!

[@elika1936]

@@FrankMeijering I've decided to suck it up and attempt your arrangement! I just kept re-watching this vid and it gets better each time eheheh

[@FrankMeijering]

@My life in a Nutshell if you can reach an octave I think it should be alright. If not, it's always allowed to just not play some notes, mostly you won't hear the difference :)

[@GuilhermeRodrigues-uq7iw]

Just can't get enough of this interpretation. Wonderful!

[@FrankMeijering]

Thanks!

Man, I've seen your channel while I was searching for microphones to start my own piano channel. I've seen you use samson's. But I have JUST realized you have just started as well. I had never payed attention to the size of your channel, I just assumed you were a big channel. The production you do, the quality of the sound, the quality of your performance, all of that made me think you were already a well-stablished channel (you will get there, you deserve, man). But man, when I realized that you'd just started I was stunned. And look, I've known your channel for a couple months by now, and it was just today that I realized that you weren't actually, when I was searching this music on youtube because I wanted to listen, and then I remebered your performance and thought "hey, that guy indirectly helped me choose my microphones, lol, and he did an amazing performance, let's listen to him again" and I couldn't find you in the main results. Then I added the name of the freaking microphones to the search and just then I found you. I was like "man, how come, I could swear he was a big channel". I am stunned, seriously. I already subscribed myself. Please keep up the amazing work and don't give up. You already are a source of inspiration to me.

Wow thanks a lot man. I don't really know what else to say, just thank you for listening to my videos and believing in me :)

[@651azul1]

This is a really amazing interpretation and I really like the adaptation (: I had searched the sheets for months! (I've found someones but their not convinced me) Thanks you!

Thanks!!

Thank you very much for uploading the sheet music for free, it is very hard to find good ones without paying. I was just wondering, how are you supposed to know when to press the pedal, do you have to go by ear or is there something that I'm missing?

[@FrankMeijering]

I play by ear. I'm not really thinking about it but if I could give any tips: - many beginners hold the pedal for too long and the sound gets very muddy; - in the beginning with the left hand staccato chords, I use the pedal to keep the bassnote a bit longer (otherwise you don't have the nice contrast of a full bassnote and light chords) and release the pedal for the staccato; - a rule of thumb is to change pedal every time a new chord appears (to avoid the two chords clashing); - to be honest it's just a matter of playing often. It'll become more of a second nature eventually.

[@ariannazotti3139]

@@FrankMeijering Thank you for the tips , they were very helpful :-)

[@FrankMeijering]

No problem!

[@elika1936]

Hi! No need to feel pressured (by this, I mean you don't need to do this) or anything but it would be amazing if you could arrange and cover "The Name of Life" from Spirited Away.

[@FrankMeijering]

Ah that's a nice one. Tbh I don't think I'll do it, I have some hefty classical pieces on the programme.

[@StarWars5691]

Dog that mic is gas. So crisp. What mic is it?

[@FrankMeijering]

Haha thanks. It is a Samson C02.

[@RTadeo-j2y]

Por las notas bajas uno se da cuenta que el piano está medio desafinado

[@翔麟雷]

Nice 👍 but next time you can arrange harder hahaha

[@olivertrach8913]

Wtf *HARDER*???? I can play the whole thing but it’s difficult enough with the jumps
