Emerson Lake & Palmer: "Trilogy" for piano - Massimo Bucci

[@mkawaguchi]

I just found this video. This, by far, is the most beautiful and thought-provoking version of Trilogy. I was Keith Emerson's partner until his death. He would have loved this. You made the piece your own, and that's something Keith loved. He loved that musicians take his music and make them their own. Thank you Massimo. You made my day.

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

Dear Mari, thank you! I am honored by your comment. Trilogy is a beautiful composition and I'm glad you enjoyed my execution. After this video of mine, I kept studying, trying to improve my piano arrangement and I added the parts that are missing in this version. I've been completing my work for a couple of years, but I haven't released it on You Tube yet; sooner or later I will and I hope you will come back to listen to me. I'm so sorry Keith left us. He has been a very important figure in my life ever since I started listening to his music as a teenager. My choice to become a professional musician is also due to him and his music has been and will always be in my heart.

Your husband's music will live on through the young people. I am 22 and if I ever have children they will hear your late partner's brilliance if I have anything to say about it.

[@joeduranjr]

There are cover versions on utube, some by pretty talented people. Your version has the perfect tempo, unlike some others who rush this piece. Also you play the vocal melody which make your version unique. A brilliant performance!

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

+joe duran Thank You very much!

[@ermannoprincipe8815]

Massimo complimenti! Sì vede che ami Keith Emerson tantissimo, anche per me sei un grande interprete della sua musica ❤ io seguo il trio di Emerson Lake & Palmer da 50 anni, suono la chitarra e i brani di Greg Lake, ma il mio strumento principale è la batteria per cui ho seguito Palmer sin dall'inizio, ma ho un amore particolare per Keith Emerson e il suo modo di scrivere e di suonare la musica, tanti auguri per tutto e complimenti speriamo un giorno di suonarci un take a Pebble insieme 😊

[@jgdmlw]

Unbelievable. This is one of the best songs of all time in my opinion and the way you covered everything is absolutely beautiful.

[@albertogozzini]

Elements of Bartok, Stravinsky, Litszt, Gershwin, all XX century music, from classical to jazz... all merged in an unique style. Number one ☝️

[@AlcorMoog]

... and Ginastera too

[@nohaylamujer]

@@AlcorMoog Amen to that

[@relicofgold]

All presented here in a cover of one of the great Keith Emerson's masterpieces.

[@diliupg]

A true genius work.

[@markbalzac1190]

Straordinario, che dire? In verità conosco le tue esecuzioni già da tempo. Queste riletture arricchiscono la nostra comprensione della musica: è come rileggere dei classici e trovarvi sempre nuove e inusitate risonanze. Un po' come nelle riletture della musica dei Beatles proposte da Wakeman o in alcune interpretazioni di Mehldau. Io sono cresciuto con Tarkus, Trilogy, ,KIng Crimson, VDG, etc..(se vogliamo restare nell'ambito del Prog UK). Ho ancora i vinili comprati già verso il 1974 ma, appunto, riascoltare questa musica nelle tue interpretazioni è davvero un bel dono. Grazie

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

Grazie Mark! 😊

[@Phoebedumplings]

Breathtaking

[@tonyanderton3521]

Bravo, Massimo. There seems to be a revival interest in the progressive rock music of the 1970s. Thank you for your astonishing contribution.

[@andreaduminuco8232]

Un brano stratosferico. E una interpretazione straordinaria. Grande Keith Emerson e grande Massimo Bucci. Un abbraccio 🤗

[@vesosobot4094]

A masterpiece perfectly played. Pure genius. Pure joy. Life is good.

[@stevejohnson7354]

Breathtaking ! You have captured the essence of Emerson !

[@josephwolosz2522]

There are moments when you think this is the music of heaven Keith Emerson could bring you to a height that makes you explore the Classic masters. But you can also hear a ragtime or boogie woogie in his works. And just a hint of Bernstein as well. I like this interpretation because it pushes into the Rock elements of the work. BRAVO! RIP Keith Emerson.

[@fabioburton666]

Very well done! Great interpretation!

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

@fabioburton666 Thank You!

[@wiseoldfool]

Hearing this on just piano, I can see how this connects to Emerson's piano concerto no 1. Great performance Massimo!

[@HomemadeMusic2]

This song has always been one of my favorite ELP song! I love how you played it all on piano!

[@veairman4548]

Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo!

[@sophiasupernova8407]

R.I.P dear Keith Emerson! Thanks for this fantastic peace of musik, Massimo!

[@CSoMusik]

I’ve been listening to this since ELP released it on the Trilogy album back in the 70s. You have captured every subtle nuance of the piece in the correct register with the right expression and timing! All as a piano solo! Fantastic performance and Bravo!

[@massimomarchesin8708]

Complimenti questa Trilogy sembrava suonata da Keith Emerson in persona Veramente ho provato delle emozioni ad ascoltarla !!!!!!

[@m.a.v.p.8926]

Magnifica adaptacion...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@declermartineza761]

My God, everything you play is off the charts. Long live Massimo, Emerson, Banks 👏👏👏👏💯♥️♥️♥️👌😅😅❤️

[@robertacolarette1594]

This is wonderful. I am a massive Keith Emerson fan and ELP. It’s not always possible to see the hands on the keyboard showing how this piece is played. Your touch and timing seemed very very close to the mighty Emerson himself. Thank you for putting this up. It’s so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes.

[@AleksSHAGI]

Волшебное исполнение! Браво!

[@barrydobrin1135]

All I can say is...wow! Always loved this piece by Emerson. You did this justice and beyond. Watched this 5 times already. Wish I could play piano this good.

[@hopefaith3693]

Bravo

[@Murodearrimo]

Fantástico! Tá de parabéns!,,,,,

[@Baethoven1770]

This is absolutely sublime

[@monsieurpio]

Esecuzione da brividi. Cito sempre la sua trasposizione per piano di questo piccolo gioiello di Emerson, per far capire a coloro che non lo conoscono quale sia il valore di questo grande compositore la cui musica ebbi il privilegio di ascoltare quando avevo 12 anni! Naturalmente la trasposizine per un singolo strumento di un brano in origine eseguito per tre strumenti, deve essere stata un'operazione molto complessa, ma per me il risultato è da encomio. Complimenti

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

Grazie 😊 Dopo questo video ho comunque continuato a lavorare sul pezzo, completandolo in ogni sua parte (qui ne mancano alcune), compresi i Soli di Emerson. Su kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4KxeaGnnLSjh5I c'è un video parziale ...prima o poi, spero di mettere quello intero, la cui esecuzione è molto impegnativa.

[@jeffreyjohnston9760]

Just found this on KZbin. Thank you and bravo Massimo. Brilliant. KE would be proud.

[@marcomariani4219]

Ottima esecuzione del brano di un genio come Keith|||

[@rayson70]

Really enjoyed listening to this, thank you so much. A beautiful composition exquisitely played!

[@lakephillip]

Excellent!

[@giovannicaramia4020]

Tocco , sensibilità, delicato ed energico all'occorrenza , ma soprattutto cuore ed anima . Se Keith di lassù ti sta osservando , allora sorride ...

[@alteralien2223]

This song inspires me to continue playing piano for almost a decade now. Well played!

[@scottvernier8307]

Wonderful, wonderful rendition of this piece. Masterfully done. Would love a transcript if you have one available.....

C'è modo e modo di suonare il Maestro, e le sue sfumature che danno i brividi, e tu ne hai colto l'essenza!

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

Grazie Gabriele 😊

[@davidmcginnigle]

Brilliant. Played with real depth... and punch.

[@jimphayre]

Keith and Greg are looking down telling you to go find Carl and join his band.... just amazing.

[@saccola8780]

I don't know how I didn't come across your music before now, but you play many songs of my most favorite band, ELP!!!! And this is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Absolutely beautiful...totally mesmerizing!!!!

[@Valerio241059]

Magnifico, magnifico lavoro e buon pianista davvero, appassionato e che ha veramente interiorizzato fra l'altro le lezioni di solfeggio. Condivido in pieno anche l'analisi di Joe Duran qui sotto. Bravo.

[@motomono3717]

bravo bravo bravo! anche su questo brano hai acceso una nuova luce che mette in risalto nuovi particolari di brano stupendo che, a mio parere, merita di essere considerato musica classica contemporanea

[@micheleattena799]

La musica classica contemporanea è noiosa,se non inascoltabile. Questa è imparagonabile

[@clinthorton306]

Excellent. Thanks.

[@videogamesart8057]

Wow! Bravissimo! Bellissimo arrangiamento per piano!

Bravo, ottima esecuzione

[@claudib2007]

Let's not forget the great Copland!

[@gabyspot]

I just recently purchased a piano to learn. I am starting out with short intros and segments of 70s rock or some ballads that I think I could play. Still after two weeks trying I had not been able to play well a short rock song intro. This ELP song, I wish some day I could play it before I die. You're a virtuoso, enjoy it.

[@3edici516]

stai facendo un capolavoro prog dopo l'altro, prima i genesis e poi emerson lake & palmer, grazie
