The Heart Asks Pleasure First (Michael Nyman) - Piano Cover

[@fredgoldstein]

I don't understand why only 9000 views, I keep on coming back to this version as it is the best...I have seen all of them, always coming back to this one which has speed, Technics, beautiful arrangements, great rhythm and played with passion. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[@ShadowDreamer]

Oh, I didn't even realize that this video has nearly 10k views. I'm very glad that you like my version! I always try to make my arrangements at least a little bit different from the others, at least if I can make it work without ruining the piece. Thank you for the encouraging words!

[@pablobenavente5672]

Man... this cover is absolutly stunning, I have been listening this song for three days about 15 times per day, I love it. The feeling you show when playing the piano is fantastic, keep the great work! I'm a newbie at the piano, but I hope one day I will be able to play this piece like you did back in 2016. I wish you all the best :)

[@ShadowDreamer]

Thank you so much for the kind words! You'll definitely be able to play it as well as and better than I did here ^___^

@@ShadowDreamer Hello again!!! Two years ago I wrote a comment here about your video , and here we are ( me and my girlfriend) enjoying 10000% your video, we really appreciate how you play the piano playing such a beautiful song like this one. These two years many terrible things have happened and are still happening, hope you and your family are fine and safe! Best regards and keep doing piano covers like this! THANK YOU!!!

[@FinnDelMundoTravel]

Seriously what did I just watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Man wow! This is by far the best version I have seen in my life. I can play the original version but I have never heard your original before. Beyond impressive, I had full body goosebumps when you went an octave higher than the original. Well done!!

[@ShadowDreamer]

Thanks a lot, man! I'm glad you appreciated my cover :) I felt like I wanted my version to stand out a little bit, but I also didn't want to change the original much. If I went back and redid this video, I would probably use a different piano sound, but I'm pretty happy with it in general ^___^

[@FinnDelMundoTravel]

Shadow Dreamer seriously so a 2.0 version, I’d love to hear it!! When I get back home from overseas I can’t wait to try your higher octave rendition a go myself. Honestly wow man!! Nice work!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This is pretty impressive! Might be one of your best yet! Congrats!! =) And nevermind the silly expressions, there's nothing silly about them, it just shows you're completely immersed within the music you're playing and that's usually a trait only the best artists are able to keep. P.S. Listens to this a 100 more times

[@ShadowDreamer]

It's a really nice song, isn't it? :D I share my surname with the composer too >:) I am super immersed indeed, and I do like the pouting with the lips and suck in my cheeks for whatever reason at times, it's so weird ahaha! I used to sometimes open my mouth a bit though, at least I've gotten rid of that habit xD Thanks a lot, mr! :3 I'll keep track of the views then ;)

[@princepeterwolf]

You should see the weird faces I make when I'm drawing then... It's a beautiful song, and you played it so well! But that's the point of art isn't it? To be fully immersed in it. You're welcome dork

[@_Hikari__]

Of all the performance videos I have watched, I think you are the best. The emotions you hide in the performance are as tender as a piece of white chocolate. After watching your video about a hundred times, I started to study this piece. At the beginning, my left and right hands were always unable to cooperate properly. I know this is not an easy task. I will watch this video once a day and stick to it. I like you !!!!!! Do you mind if I use your video screenshot as a WeChat avatar, I tell my friends that it is my loved one in my dream.

[@ShadowDreamer]

Thank you for all the kind words! I do indeed try to play with real emotion, so I am very glad that that comes across. It is definitely difficult to get the hands to cooperate, but with enough practice, eventually you forget that it was even a problem, so keep going at it! Unfortunately, I think I would prefer if you did not use my picture as you avatar, I hope that's okay! Even though I upload things online every now and then, I tend to be a fairly private person. I hope you're doing okay in this time of crisis :)

can i ask you how you change mistakes in post? it seems difficult, or is the piano plugged in to a computer?

[@ShadowDreamer]

There is a usb port in the piano, and the piano itself records something called MIDI information. I can export that to the computer, and open it in a software called a DAW. There, I can edit the notes however I want. I try to avoid doing that as much as possible, though. I can then either export the sound from tje DAW, or import a new "fixed" MIDI file back to the piano. In this case I used a piano sound from the DAW. In the video editor, I finally sync the video with the audio file. I hope that clarifies it! Thanks for watching ^____^

[@lenaamelie9050]

For those who are starting, which level of difficulty is this song?

[@ShadowDreamer]

Sorry, for some reason KZbin had marked your comment as spam. Well, it depends. It's certainly not an easy song, because it's very active all the time. If it's made a primary focus, I think one can learn it well enough fairly early. Why don't you try learning the first 15 seconds, and try to learn to play it really well. If you manage that, I think with enough time and practice you'll manage the whole piece :)
