Secret of Mana - Piano Densetsu

[@adamweb]

This is literally the best piano cover of SOM I have ever heard! I can't believe it's been 30 years since this game was released... hearing these tunes makes me feel so nostalgic!

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you! Hiroki Kikuta has created a captivating musical universe.

[@JonathanCrane82]

And this just became my 18 month old son's lullaby music. I cannot thank you enough!

[@GabbPiano]

This little child already has good taste. :)

You deserve way more subscribers. Here's hoping you get an influx with Visions of Mana's trailer dropping.

[@victor38542]

Absolutely prodigious! I can't thank you enough for the work, the very soul you put into this. You are an incredible pianist. The nuances are absolutely gorgeous, the sensitivity you unleash with such precision is… I can't have enough of it. Truly masterful.

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you so much for this generous praise!

[@benutzer-ov7zz]

ゲーム音楽をゲーム音楽として、オリジナルの雰囲気そのままにピアノに落とし込めているのが本当に素晴らしいと思います。Gabbさんのゲーム音楽へのリスペクトを感じます。これからも美しい演奏を期待しています。いつも投稿ありがとうございます。

[@GabbPiano]

どうもありがとう。

[@LoneTiger]

Thank you for this, as an adult learning to play the piano, Secret of Mana is on my to-play list. And the sheets and midi files are a big plus. 👍

[@GabbPiano]

Cool! I wish you lots of happiness and fun in your piano learning.

[@themadmallard]

respect for not slacking on that left hand during Meridian.~

[@michaelheinze5001]

I can literally feel your love towards this game in the way you play these pieces. And you totally nailed the danger-theme. Very impressive!

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you! Hiroki Kikuta composed some very inspiring pieces with this OST!

[@sothyvirerksin6730]

HE'S DOING THE ECHO

[@maxron6514]

It's called delay 🧐

[@NVP12345]

I've been listening to all kinds of SoM music lately, but this is probably the most impressive thing I've seen yet! (GaMetal's cover of Meridian Dance is still a close second...) Especially "Danger" - I would have thought it was impossible to do it justice solo on the piano, but you proved me wrong!

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you!! Danger was a challenge, true, and that's what motivated me to tackle Secret of Mana.

[@RokumanSenpai]

Excellent Work ! Please, por favor, ONEGAI... Seiken Densetsu 3 / Trials of Mana Medley!

[@GabbPiano]

This appetite is good to see. ^^

[@nebelwerferovich3639]

Cool, SoM medley!Wonderfull as always! SoMe likes included.

[@DenGreatshot]

Quite possibly my favorite soundtrack of any game of all time. This is an incredible homage, and how on earth you absolutely nailed Danger on a piano is just awesome!

[@GabbPiano]

Thanks! It was really Danger which motivated me to start arranging this OST. I'm glad you liked this version.

[@lgolem09l]

To me the sequel had even better music

[@ericfortin559]

Amazing. Another soundtrack that is just perfectly atmospheric and evocative, and it’s astonishing that one person can play it all - in real time, no less. I would love to hear your treatment of The Dark Star, and Ceremony. Wish was my favorite song in the game, and I would just stop playing when I reached the frozen woods for a few minutes just to listen, and hearing you play it tranported me right back to that memory.

[@TheRealHungryJoe]

Wow! Excellent work

[@ark4601]

音の一つ一つがしっかりしていてとてもメロディラインが聞き取りやすくて良い演奏でした 誤魔化さずに一音ずつ丁寧に奏でる演奏にこのゲームへの愛が感じられてとても嬉しいです

[@samia003]

オリジナルパートを挿入したり、ジャズにしてみたりと、余計な要素を入れたアレンジ演奏ばかりが溢れる中、鳴って欲しいタイミングで鳴って欲しい音が鳴る、素晴らしいピアノアレンジでした。 ピアノの良さを存分に活かした、こう言うピアノアレンジが聴きたかったのです！ ありがとうございます！

[@GabbPiano]

ありがとう。 こういったアレンジメントを気に入っていただけて嬉しいです。

[@matthieufacon1407]

Super, je l’attendais celui-là ! Toujours un plaisir de retrouver chaque morceau mais les medleys c’est la cerise sur le gâteau 😊

[@GabbPiano]

Merci Matthieu ! Les medleys concrétisent souvent l'aboutissement final des projets.

[@ananashund4283]

Dude, you're just awesome, not only for the splendid playing but also for offering sheet music as well as the midis for download. Thanks a lot, I'm just slowly getting back into playing piano and the SoM OST is one of my favorites, that will really help!

[@GabbPiano]

Cool, I'm really glad you like the sheet music and midi files. I hope you'll enjoy getting back to the piano and that some of my files will suit you (I'm thinking in particular of the simplified versions).

Merci infiniment d'un part pour les vidéos, d'autre part pour les partitions. Après 15 ans sans avoir retouché à un piano (ou même un instrument, mes parents m'ayant forcé longtemps à jouer), vous avez réussi à me remotiver à reprendre la musique grâce à cette vidéo et celle de Battle of Olympus. Même si le chemin va être long, je sais que les bases sont encore là et les partitions m'aideront beaucoup ! Merci 👏

[@MercurialMaven]

I would love as an intermediate pianist to know how you developed your technique. It seems so clean and precise, even compared to other professional pianists on KZbin. Have you considered doing other Mana music, like Earth Painting from Legend of Mana?

[@GabbPiano]

Regular, daily work allows you to improve your playing. I have been working on my piano technique since a young age but I am still far from a Martha Argerich or a Maurizio Paulini. In any case, technique is not everything and some music would perhaps have deserved a little more nuance and a slightly more refined arrangement. I'm thinking for example of The Little Sprite and Prophecy, which I'm only half satisfied with because they were played a little too forcefully. Yes, other episodes of the Mana series are planned. I would like to tackle the 1st and 3rd episode one day.

[@drygordspellweaver8761]

I really like how you stayed true to every note! A lot of covers take liberty with changing notes around, which I guess they are allowed to do 😅 but I've always felt it took away from the original.

[@derekgeorgeandrews]

God bless you for making so many perfect transcriptions of my favorite childhood games. I am learning so many of them!! Do you still plan on doing a few songs from Mega Man 5?

[@GabbPiano]

I'm glad to know that you're trying your hand at some of my transcriptions. :) Yes, yes, Mega Man 5 is still part of my plans. I arranged Mega Man 1 relatively recently, so I'm going to wait a bit before coming back to it, just to alternate and divide the series, but I haven't forgotten our favorite robot, don't worry. ;)

Don't understand why there is only 3K view ? 3M is deserve

[@callisoncaffrey]

Why you no put all the songs in there?

[@ericfortin559]

I think it’s because some of the songs are not well suited to the piano, and many of the songs are just variations and leitmotifs of the same core melodies already covered. There are some songs in particular that are very drum-centric (it came from the sands, steel and drum) that would probably nust flat out sound wrong.
