Prince would be proud

[@nataala_]

Humanity too.

[@fredaxberg686]

the best music comes from the heart.. he doesn't have notes in front of him because he IS playing it from the heart... and that's the BEST kind of music

[@jimnassar1083]

That's called improvisation my friend !

[@TheKennethdurden]

The emotion conveyed through music is powerful.

[@freshdumpling]

Agreed

[@douglasdennett4583]

Hello Franco / Our Piano Player Here... Just Gorgeous Sound and Fine Playing / Speechless / OMG / WoW!!! Must Share with (Ms. Angelina Jordan & Family) Other's in Life... So Glad UUU Posted This Music Performance / Dearly Very Special... God Bless / Be Safe / Sincerely, DD.

[@Tastenplayer]

This is how you turn a piece of music into your own! There are a few passages that I don't like, but on the whole it`s very fascinating. The 9 thumbs down have no idea about art and improvisation!

[@cameocampbell1009]

I agree. It’s not like Prince at all but it’s a nice spin right. I love how he is embodying the guitar and all in his piano play. He is feeling all the instruments through these keys. #beautiful. He didn’t try to copy or replicate. Instead, he let the beauty of the music from his memories take its course.

Gli anni 80' in questo bellissimo brano ! Ascoltando questa versione al piano , rivivo la mia adolescenza , la dolce amarezza del dolore del primo amore ancora racchiuso in me , nella mia anima e nel mio corpo ,ormai cresciuto e mentre le lacrime scendono piano dalle mie gote , il ricordo dei giorni felici , in cui tu prendevi le mie mani ,tra le tue , illuminano questi istanti ,in cui sembra che la disperazione ,faccia da padrona ,per non aver mai afferrato il tuo amore .

[@jeffreygriffin7248]

Absolutely beautiful!!!! R.I.P Prince 💜💜💜💜

[@petitor_veritatis1936]

Que Bravo! Quando il principe suonava la pioggia pura al pianoforte, sentivo e continuavo a provare emozioni profonde. Mi manchi Prince.

[@thomaslenz7306]

an other example of prince´s ghost taking over, so great

[@giannipascia4034]

Mi inchino alla bravura di Piccinno,ottima rivisitazione,ma ahimè nessuno può mettere il cuore e l'anima di Prince nel suo cavallo di battaglia......Purple Rain è nata x essere interpretata solo e soltanto da LUI,e Dio mi è testimone di quante volte lo abbia constatato di persona LIVE.🎸💜

[@legalshieldbarbara8554]

Wow, "the pianist gentlemen " you're the Best Purple Rain pianist, love the way you created your own version .

[@bienvenus.n4072]

La liberté de jouer à l'oreille, et la créativité qui va avec. Amen !

[@jdwhitewings724]

Beautiful the best I have heard so far. This is the first one that I hear all of Prince in it, this ballet...

[@lindaschultz4833]

Musical genius - written by one played by one. Thanks you for a treasure of beauty.

[@stormodea4112]

Wow I just watched a guy covering this on guitar and came over here to see a piano version and wow I got what I wanted and more. This is a stunning rendition ❤️

[@kathleenann631]

Yes, he becomes one with the instrument and the song.

[@SamSilk]

Very impressive, your hands reproduce the original track exactly and yet it doesn't seem weird or forced and it sounds like a piece written for just a piano.

[@katerinasp1626]

Wau ...... the best cover ever!!!!!! Includes it all!!!

[@Dennis867.]

The 1st I have heard played totally by Heart, and piano. Beautiful+Different* The heart wants what the heart wants. Beautiful Music. Well Done. Thank you. Goodai

[@soundso478]

Anyone got sheets?

[@zillionz]

just about scraped through with that

[@IzmaN]

Why has this man turned into a piano ?

[@danielmcguire9569]

guitar player trying to learn this song on piano and stumbled across this... it was decent until it ended with out a solo. I mean come on...! Purple Rain with out a solo?!?! that's akin to having an intense make out session with your high school gf really start to heat up just as her disapproving cop dad gets home and starts cleaning two new guns he just purchased...

[@hippopo900]

I thought he got a shoulder problem when I watch from beginning, then I scroll to the end only I found out he is a normal guy, boy why u hv to play like this, try playing it with a mirror standing in front nx time

[@BillSheley]

voicing and interpretation (not including general mistakes) were garbage.

[@soundso478]

Do it better

[@SS-ld8bl]

Beautiful!!
