OCTOPATH TRAVELER - Ophilia, the Cleric ~ Piano cover w/ Sheet music!

[@Kageoth]

I'm not crying, you're crying. this rendition is so moving.

[@MoisesNieto]

Aw thanks!!

[@franniepack]

Hey there. A few videos ago, I asked if you can arrange Ophilia from Octopath on the piano. You responded and tbh I didn't think you were going to actually arrange it. After seeing this video for the first time, I felt like so happy and relieved that you covered this. I want to thank you for arranging this! So nice to see a youtuber do what their audience wants.

[@MoisesNieto]

Oh, thank you Francis, I'm glad you've liked it!

[@charlulu167]

Of all the character themes in octopath traveler, this is my number 1 favorite.

[@EllieFeyFox]

God I can't ever get over the soundtrack for this game. Ophilia's theme sounds kinda like a it would fit real well in a music box after hearing it on piano! Bravo!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you Drake!

[@mitten3206]

Absolutely masterpiece of a song arranged in a really incredible way, thanks dude

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much!! 🩵

[@snowf6307]

Wonderful! You really did the flute justice, because it really is the star in the original--not an easy thing to do with the piano!!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thanks Snow! Glad you think that way hehe, arranging every character's theme was really fun!

[@ChickenCatzz]

That G minor hits so hard TToTT!!! Great work!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! I love your Chiyo's dad avatar haha

[@guilhermetheophilo9802]

The best soundtrack of the game performed by the most amazing pianist on the internet! This is the only video we need 😍

[@MoisesNieto]

wow thank you Guilherme! Definitely not the most amazing pianist but thank you for the huge compliment haha

[@singanode4me]

This music is so moving💙💙

[@IStoleAllYourCookies]

She's probably my fave out of all the 8.

[@miguel_H.C]

Chills, literal chills! I would listen to this every hour of every day!!

[@ARZiehm]

Awesome arrangement brotha! You definitely captured all the color of the original. Also love how classically japanese this song is haha. The ii-V before the bVI, the classic sus4 turnaround, all the little things. Nostalgia at it's finest!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you!! Indeed, it sounds very japanese VGM and I love that haha

[@MrKevinschwartz4994]

Great arrangement and recording, and I really appreciate the fingering on the sheet music. Thanks!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you Kevin!! Glad they are helpful, those are the fingers I use but of course every hand is different so feel free to change them hehe

[@farzadnoori93]

best piano in youtube . amazing amazing . 🥰🥰🥰

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! c:

[@leosilva9597]

Awesome job, man! This really touch me!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you Léo!!

[@everettwhitaker7829]

I'm not sure how you managed to capture the feel of the flute solo on the piano, but It's very lovely nonetheless.

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you!!

[@comfyshiro3136]

Beautiful cover, Your Excellency. I can't believe it took me this long to find you, your stuff is all amazing. Keep up the great work!

[@MoisesNieto]

Omg xD Thnank you so much, really appreciate it

[@kairugonbe5275]

Ophilia's gentle flame 🥰

[@anime_4esthetic]

I admire you work

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much!!

[@blackfurio2381]

Nice

[@MoisesNieto]

Thanks!

[@raphman007]

Very nice arrangement, just like the previous two. I´m already looking forward to the remaining ones :D

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! I guess I won't arrange all of them, but maybe a few more, who knows!

[@Tropicalesoye]

Very powerful! I cried! That must mean something!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you!!

[@Akagami_Akame]

AWESOME!! IT WAS SO TOUCHING COVER PERFORMANCE !!

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you so much!!

[@michaelparker2678]

A Very I am Setsuna vibe rippling throughout the piece.

[@MoisesNieto]

Yeah, and that's a good thing hehe

[@michaelparker2678]

Moisés Nieto - HollowRiku Very true, very true indeed!!!!

[@paulskol7]

Great stuff, thanks. I just got round to Ophelia in game and all the music around her character is brilliant . It would be cool to hear you do a piano arrangement of “ Enveloped In Kindness “ from Octopath too.

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you os much! 😄 I'm focusing on character themes now, but I might play more Octopath Traveler pieces in the future, I'll let you know if I play that one, it's really nice!

[@paulskol7]

Moisés Nieto - HollowRiku Great! All your videos are great anyway. Keep up the good work Sir!

[@Dave-bf6bs]

Como me encanta este juego, la música pega perfecto con los diálogos y las historias que más de algún ocasión me han hecho derramar una lagrimita y este cover está muy bueno qwq

[@MoisesNieto]

Muchas gracias Dave! c:

[@luisgalvan8963]

Gracias por hacer el cover de una de las canciones más emotivas de todo el juego. La escuché del capítulo 1 de Ophilia y en conjunto con su historia es simplemente, espectacular a su manera

[@MoisesNieto]

No problem, gracias a ti por escucharla y comentar Luis!

[@EldaRaag]

Genial Moisés, me está encantando este juego, la banda sonora exquisita. Espero oir más de sus piezas reproducidas por ti. Eres muy grande!

[@MoisesNieto]

Muchas gracias Eldar!

[@adris3132]

Muchísimas gracias por compartir el tema, y por supuesto gracias por avisar en el otro video ^^

[@MoisesNieto]

De nada, gracias a ti! c:

[@Pine2142]

This has disgustingly low views not only for being the theme or besy girl but for your amazing skills. I wish I could play like you!

[@MoisesNieto]

Haha thank you so much Pineapple, really appreciate it

[@Pine2142]

Moisés Nieto - HollowRiku No thank you! Also Ophilia best girl, and I have hapily subscribed :)

[@shadow49439]

ALMOST BRAVELY DEFAULT

[@MoisesNieto]

And both amazing!

[@3100620842]

Im pretty sure that octopath is the spiritual successor of the Bravely Default duology. Kinda like how Lost Sphere is to I Am Setsuna.

[@cartererickson7395]

I love it! I can't wait for you to try out Cyrus' Theme as well - waltzes are always cool and you're just so good at these piano arrangements.

[@MoisesNieto]

Hehe thank you Carter! I don't know which one I'll play next, I love them all!

[@justinb.2623]

Make more octopath piano vids if possible

[@MoisesNieto]

Thanks Justin! Glad you like them, I think I'll play a few more!

[@MiguelTauste]

Suena precioso, miedo me daba que no arreglara las canciones de este juego para el piano nadie. Eres una fiera, y además español, que siempre mola ver algún pianista de tu país, un abrazo y sigue así!! :3 PD: Subirás las de los otros personajes?

[@MoisesNieto]

Muchas gracias Miguel! 😁 La OST es preciosa! No creo que haga la de todos los personajes, pero si algunos más! El próximo es el de Therion, muy pronto ;D

[@LucasPianoRoom]

You are really a god in arranging! =O May I ask you about your approach? Do you hear the piece in a slow manner and write down the notes first on a sheet or in a program, or do you proceed differently? =) You do not have to answer the question. I do not want to be forceful. But I would be very interested. =)

[@MoisesNieto]

Thanks! I don't think I'm super good at arranging but I'm becoming better as time goes by hehe, Yeah I just listen to the whole piece many times and write the notes in a program, one by one~ If the original piece is not a piano solo one, I try to imagine different accompaniment patterns for every part to make it sound as close as possible c: Then I print the sheet music I wrote and learn it, I normally change a few minor parts and notes here and there while I'm learning it

[@ARZiehm]

To add on to what he said, there's two things that will really help in arranging music, and that's establishing the tonality (Major or minor) and hearing the root motion. Sometimes they'll throw in chords that are non diatonic (At 1:30, there's a Db chord that is not native to G minor) but for the most part it'll make the list of possible chords to choose from a lot smaller. Hearing the root motion can tell you what the chord is before you sit down - If you know what V-I sounds like, all you have to do is figure out the root and the chords will be all easy to figure out. Pay attention to what the bass note is and that will give you a lot of insight into how the piece works. In general, listen to a lot of music and transcribe a few of your favorites. You'll find many composers share chord progressions (At 1:12, that's a classic VI-VII-i, Eb, F, Gm) and tricks (Like the ii-V-I at 1:24, which is fm7, then Bb7 back to Eb.) The more you figure out structure, the easier it all becomes. Hope that helps some dude!

[@LucasPianoRoom]

Oh god, =O Thank you both so much for your tips !!! = O I'm so thankful !!! =) I will apply these tips immediately. =O =) Just great! Thank you!!!! =)

[@jesselyes874]

Hey it's beautiful as always! You play the piano as I never could play in my entire life ^^ I just have a little question: I know you do covers of video game's music but will you play one day a piece from some persons like Beethoven or other? (it's just a question and if you say no I will continue to listen your wonderful covers

[@bmba]

CallistoEverDream you could definitely learn this lol, this is such a simple arrangement it’s ridiculous. Considering there are people who are blind, deaf, and without hands who can play piano, I’d say just practise and you can be successful at it. This would only take maybe a year or two of practise, like srs this is coming from someone who’s played for a decade and is doing ARCT level pieces. I know you were exaggerating, but if you dedicated your whole life to it you would be better than him easily.

[@jesselyes874]

Bradley B yes I know and I was spoken about all his covers and not this only one ^^ But actually I have not time to practice a lot and I just can play a little during my hollydays ^^' Yes blind people or persons who can't hear (like Beethoven lol) for me they are genius and talented, and I'm not a genius and I'm not talented at piano, but I don't cry for that and I didn't want to post a comment just to say "I'm such a bad player ooh god what is my shitty life" I just wanted to ask if he would do some pieces from famous artists :P But thanks for your answer

[@MoisesNieto]

Thank you! I've recorded some classical music in the past (I made a playlist with all of them) but those are never very popular so I don't normally record it, but I've been studying classical musical for many years, I might record more in the future hehe

[@3100620842]

I just want to let you know this since i know your music is great quality: you might wanna check your octopath uploads because i can hear the higher notes fuzzing out. KZbin isnt doing your covers justice by skimping on the audio quality

[@MoisesNieto]

Thanks! Part of the quality is lost while exporting the video, another part is lost after uploading it :c Besides, the piano is more or less tuned depending on the day and I'm not an expert at recording haha, I'm sorry if the quality is slightly worse in some videos ;_;

[@3100620842]

Oh, im not complaining, haha. I just wasnt sure you knew youtube was screwing with your videos. The way you describe it, id love to hear you live.

[@eddy93bits]

Quedo muy bonito el tema. Si puedes , htocarias el tema de Therion?

[@MoisesNieto]

Gracias! No sé si lo tocaré, hay varias piezas que me gustaría tocar, pero si acabo tocándolo intentaré avisar, gracias por la sugerencia ;D

[@tamasbelovai8779]

0 dislike! This is my quiet place! :')

[@MoisesNieto]

Aw ;_; Thanks!

[@globeando]

Moisés, espero que esto sea bien recibido (créditos al artistazo de la pieza en la descripción de mi vídeo): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn29eqiiZaZnitU

[@MoisesNieto]

Por supuesto, muchas gracias por los créditos! 😄💙

[@globeando]

@@MoisesNieto gracias a ti, y preciosa pieza musical, realmente me inspiró como fondo a esas vistas de infarto de Taipei bajo la puesta de sol :-) felicidades!

[@57tigey]

I've been trying to teach myself for years, but I just cant find anything that works. I Would give anything to learn how to play by ear.

[@MoisesNieto]

It's a hard skill to work and achieve ;w; I still first write my own arrangements by ear and then study / practise what I wrote, I'm not very good at improvising!
