Hi John, lovely arrangement. Thank you. I’ve just bought this from Music Notes for my 8 yr old son to learn. Is there a chance you could do a top down video so we can work out how you play some of the chords? Sorry to ask but would be amazing as we can’t work out a few finger / hand positions and you make it look effortless! ❤

[@johnpianoman]

@@Flashrashno1 I hope you both enjoy playing my arrangement. You have given me food for thought with the suggestion of a 'top down' video. A few people have asked me to do a tutorial video for my 'Pure Imagination' performance/arrangement so I'll work out the best way to doing this.

[@Flashrashno1]

@@johnpianoman Morning John, very kind of you, thank you! Have a lovely day.

[@davidfryer9359]

That piano has amazing tonal quality. And this songs puts it to the test.

[@cookie_bozo]

Piano skills and cinematography are great! Definitely deserves more attention

[@frankthegreat-]

100% true.

[@lisawhite1548]

This is my favorite rendition of this song I’ve seen so far. ❤

[@lawrencehowes7447]

This definitely deserves more views, my favorite arrangement ive found, builds so nicely and captures the song beautifully, others seem quite busy

[@vickyhwang7695]

This humble, but yet elegant and emotional sound stabs right in my heart. Best piano cover ever, after listening to him playing this songs, other piano covers never get me the feeling he depicted through this song.

[@quinnnermoo]

your piano looks like chocolate

[@johnpianoman]

Thank you. This is such an uplifting response to start off my week. I always start with the idea that the song is king/queen and our job as musicians is to make that song shine. Best wishes, John

Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination Reach out, touch what was once Just in your imagination Don't be shy, it's alright If you feel a little trepidation Sometimes these things don't need Explanation If you want to view paradise Simply look at them and view it Somebody to hold on to, it's All we really need Nothing else to it Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination Take a look and you'll see Into your imagination We'll begin with a spin Traveling in the world of my creation What we'll see will defy Explanation If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view it Anything you want to, do it Wanna change the world? There's nothing to it There is no life, I know To compare with pure imagination Living there, you'll be free If you truly wish to be

[@masaeserge6260]

I really like your arrangement of Pure Imagination. I want to get your sheet music but am having trouble with Musicnotes App. Is there any other way i can get the sheet music?

[@johnpianoman]

For copyright reasons, I just use Musicnotes to distribute my sheet music. I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with their app. have had several downloads of my 'Pure Imagination' arrangement so I know the system works. Have you tried downloading from their website on a computer or laptop rather than using the app? If that doesn't work contact them. Fingers crossed!

[@ruby000024]

We love this magical piece so much! My friends are getting married and they love your beautiful piano cover very much, can I use your cover as their wedding video background music if you don’t mind :)? Will definitely note the credit! Thanks again for this pleasant work!

[@johnpianoman]

I am so glad you like my music video and thank you for being polite by asking permission to use the music as the background in their wedding video. I give you my permission and I hope it adds to the magic of their special day. God bless, John www.johnpianoman.co.uk/

[@Will-kc7kx]

Love it

[@ryanR8705]

I tried to play your arrangement, but I can’t get those voicings to sound like that. 😢

[@김딸꾹-v9t]

It's recorded neatly.❤ Can you tell me how to record it? Please😊

[@johnpianoman]

When I film with my camera, I also record the audio LIVE with professional microphones. I then mix and master the audio track in my DAW (digital audio workstation) software. Next, I load the video and mastered audio track into my video editing software. I sync up my mastered audio track to the audio on the video. The final step is to remove the video (camera) audio leaving just the mastered audio. It is quite a process but I'm glad you appreciate the result.

[@Kuleria]

Omg!!❤❤

[@Account.Not.Used.Anymore]

Amazing man! You should do a tutorial on this arrangement!

[@johnpianoman]

Thanks for planting the seed.

[@Rodklavier]

Ven a ver junto a mí un lugar jamás imaginado Y esa luz es así como tú lo habrás soñado Comenzar por abrir siempre nuestro mundo milagro Y por fin descifrar el misterio Tu imaginación puede hallar en los bosques de un arrullo Cuando quieras ver tu cielo Mira alrededor es todo tuyo Tu ilusión se forjó en el mundo de tu pensamiento Y en su afán de subir nuevos soles descubrir Tu imaginación puede hallar en los bosques de un arrullo Cuando quieras ver tu cielo Mira alrededor es todo tuyo Tú ilusión se forjó en el mundo de tu pensamiento Y en su afán de subir nuevos astros a descubrir

This sounds magical at 0.65x speed omg

[@WtfReal]

Damn....

[@Researcher30473]

Bought the sheet 👍👌

[@johnpianoman]

Enjoy!

[@MichaelMichaelMichael.]

Why is this in a different key

[@johnpianoman]

Hi Michael. I play the song in Eb major which is the key of the original 1970 sheet music by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0074193 (and also the key of my arrangement www.musicnotes.com/marketplace/sheetmusic/MK0065452 ). You got me curious though so I checked and Gene Wilder sang it in Db Major in the original film and Timothée Chalamet sings it in Major in the recent Wonka film. Arrangers often change the key to suit the vocal range of the singer.

[@Kosgrim]

it would be cool if you did your thing as u do the first 2 minutes. then smooth over to the original tempo. just a tip

[@lac19951]

Sounds like Henry Mancini

[@jki987]

It was ALMOST perfect, you could have ventured more into the bass and for Christ's sake, USE THE PEDAL!!! there were notes that could have rang like bells, AND YOU CUT THE PEDAL??? NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE?!?!?!?! And take your time with the piece, some parts felt rushed, a piece played that beautifully doesn't need to worry about how long it takes to play it (without being dragged out of course) Solid 9/10
