Loved the perspective on this shot, its like seeing the piano's soul

[@eviehicks3979]

That's such a beautiful way of putting it

[@phoenixway2737]

Yeah, right

[@kevinzhang3313]

It is the piano's organs...the player is the soul.

[@mwmedia1051]

Damn, the way that he does the pedal is tooooo good. Honestly after playing the piano for 15 years, the pedal is definitely one of the hardest things to master

@@moccacine i've been pushing my gf to watch the movie for a couple of years, but she won't for some reason. We watched it last night with me, and she was bawling by the end. It's just perfection

[@ncrisz351]

One thing I love about this arrangement Is how you're not excessive with the arpeggios, the improvisation and all that stuff! It's perfect.

[@abyssusnox]

Yeah agreed, as too much arpeggios can make it feel a little overwhelming. The song is supposed to be a light bittersweet song with hints of sorrow. Jacob Koller _never_ disappoints

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Again I apologize to everyone for the delay with the sheet music. I am awaiting on approval from the publisher which normally doesn't take this long. Thanks for your patience.

[@jueviolegrace7265]

The Mad Arranger / Jacob Koller You're awesome dude.

[@liamlyons1766]

Arrange the 3/4 "Thaxted" portion of Holst's Jupiter!

[@DavidTorresPiano]

Great Jacob, greetings !!!

[@jarehelt]

Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger Still no sheet music?

[@minimonkey252]

Hey, do you include transcriptions of your improvisations in your sheet music? This was elegant

[@pixalmasterstudios2485]

Wow. Just WOW. This is very close to becoming my favorite movie of all time, and this gave me goosebumps. You are a true master of the piano

[@pianoroom958]

This music and a glass of wine...perfect night!

[@Petestratoguitar]

Wow.. in this 3-4 day I found you.. listened your videos and i think that you are my favourite jazz piano player right now

[@harleymad7974]

[@Petestratoguitar]

Harley Ma D thanks ;)

[@harleymad7974]

Pietro Di Leo Welcome :)

[@Aisluin]

Obviously a late time to be asking, but are there any other jazz pianists on youtube you guys reccomend?

[@jaben5489]

The way your fingers glide so effortlessly across the keys is simply mesmerizing. The positioning, the accuracy, the emotions, it’s beautiful. And being able to see the inners of the piano adds a nice touch. Best rendition I’ve heard of this piece. I wish I would’ve found it sooner. Thank you for sharing. You’ve earned a new sub

[@biancabai1429]

The improvised part is excellent !

[@xaavo.]

Perfect arrengement, perfect solos, perfect tone

alright, piano man, tickle those ivories

Have you already? xD

people really out here being this talented

[@dunewolf7455]

It’s been years I listen to this play. Pops up randomly in my mind once every month or so. And I don’t listen so much piano solos but this is sur a piece of art. Please never take it down from the internet !!!

[@MelwinGeez]

YES, my dream/ request became true! _And it sounds absolutely beautiful..._

[@jjpmn]

The touch you give the piano is unique. Because even the same piece shows that you put your thing. Its beautiful.

[@kondoor_]

I’m checking this video every year, and every time I get goosebumps! Hope that one day I’ll be able to play this masterpiece

[@iAlexMat]

can’t stop to listen this again and again. This dynamic, emotion, voice of the soul...amazing...no words

[@cow2718]

it’s so glued in his mind that it doesn’t even look like he is playing because of the endless about of practice he’s put into just this one piece and that is why he has my respect because he practiced enough to have this played so effortlessly

[@SignTheta]

2:06 is where it hits me! *Goosebumps* Awesome job on the improvs!

[@CarlosPerez-ru6tb]

This is the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard in my entire life

City of stars Are you shining just for me? City of stars There's so much that I can't see Who knows? I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you That now our dreams They've finally come true City of stars Just one thing everybody wants There in the bars And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants It's love Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else A rush A glance A touch A dance A look in somebody's eyes To light up the skies To open the world and send it reeling A voice that says, I'll be here And you'll be alright I don't care if I know Just where I will go 'Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling A rat-tat-tat on my heart Think I want it to stay City of stars Are you shining just for me? City of stars You never shined so brightly

[@AshrafRezkmusic]

Jazz Skeptics like me should skip to 2:16 finding jazz standard phrasing and generic beautiful bebop approaches. That's if we ignore the walking bass lines of parallel thirds 8va that are conventionally used in Jazz

[@Mignuke]

I'm glad you made this one simpler. It's sounds great

[@MayseeRenae]

I don't understand how anyone can not like this, this is pure art and I'm absolutely in love with it

[@hsiangtsou3292]

From 1:19 I really cried Too amazing..

[@42bwawa12]

Wow another amazing piece of art... It's so delicate and delightful!!

[@elena-eu9lh]

Самый классный вариант исполнения. Шикарно настроен инструмент. Прозрачное звучение. ❤

[@kamsan1722]

Burning question: Do you always practice all the different major minor classical scales and jazz scales crazily to nail those running passages flawlessly?

[@JacobKollerMusic]

Honestly I haven't practiced scales for many years. As a kid my teacher made me practice scales a lot which was very beneficial but now I only practice the things I write or arrange for myself to play.

[@watchingyoutube3683]

I'm falling in love again in this piece... 🥺❤️

i really want to learn to play piano man, this music is so incredible wow

[@Magali2088]

Jacob Koller / The Mad Arranger you're welcome!! Btw you are incredibly talented! ヾ(｡>﹏

[@XricheeX]

I just started learning to play the piano, i cant imagine how amazing it must feel to be able to play songs like this

[@kristianl7117]

The longer you play the piano the more rewarding, but also the more daunting it gets. I remember seeing pieces similar to this in difficulty when i started playing and thinking "if only i could ever play music like that". And while i'm not as good a pianist as Jacob, i can play pieces like this now. The wonderful but also annoying thing about piano though is that there is ALWAYS something unachievably difficult waiting for you. When you reach what you thought of as the top you realise there is so, so, so much more to learn. That being said i hope you derive as much joy and pleasure from finding out just how much there is to learn as i did:) Good luck on your practicing!

[@XricheeX]

Kristian l thankyou so much :)

Great timing hope this video does well, thank you for your arrangements.

[@psirus89]

I have a good friend, sadly not very interested in instrumental music, but he always says: "Piano...yeah piano is nice and all, but you just press a key...its not like a violin, there you gotta shape a tone." This here, there a lot of people who could play this after a couple of months with the sheet music. But the way Jacobs hands move and lay on the keys, this takes decades.... He just uses the weight of his fingers...its very soothing to watch.

[@lashakhmaladze2703]

I love it! Will try to play myself,can't afford the sheet of this beautiful music but maybe I can learn by watching the video and pausing at moments :)
