Undertale: Bonetrousle (Advanced Piano) Toccata Variations

[@ErikCPianoman]

This is one of those arrangements that gets harder and harder (and more Russian? unintentionally) as it goes along. The last bit is particularly tricky, and as a result it took hours upon hours to get a clean recording of it. So if you like these more involved arrangements, show this video some love and share it with your fellow fans. Just a few more vids to come until the end of the year!

[@gnart1434]

I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us this year!

[@ErikCPianoman]

@Joshua Wall ngl this one is pretty hard but it depends a lot on the tempo. Still good for building dexterity nonetheless.

[@anthony_bradford]

That last section was pretty insane though,

[@MBisque]

I’m nowhere near able to play this, right now I’m learning your 4 animal crossing arrangements and I think that level of difficulty is perfect for me, still really tricky but doable. At least for me, that was probably a cakewalk for you

[@CamilaCuevas]

Wow so energetic, just like papyrus. That ending segment was insane!! I love your arrangements so much

[@kingz7151]

[@LucasKingPiano]

Great stuff man! Loved the second variation. Mind blowing skills!

[@ErikCPianoman]

Thanks man. This one definitely took some time to arrange and practice.

[@OGNolan-df1jq]

@@ErikCPianoman You should totally do the Narnia: Aslan's Camp Theme! You would nail it! It is also a beautiful theme!

Ok, my life is complete. My favorite pianist played a song by Toby Fox, I can die now happy and satisfied.

ha ha! same!

[@derrekmunk6602]

What a lucky piano !

[@RyanZPianoGuy]

Freakin' loved it Erik. Love the way you used chromatics, always excited when you do that. Btw your 'hard part' sounds like my "Flight of the Caffeinated Bumble Bee" in my opinion!😂Whose arrangement reigns supreme? Let us know down in the comments below!

[@ErikCPianoman]

Thanks man. I love that locrian prelude. Somebody’s got to play it at some point. 👀

[@RyanZPianoGuy]

@@ErikCPianoman maybe a 100k sub special and I’ll do it! 🎹

[@DSMusic394]

FINALLY get a chance to hear this arrangement! The runs, the harmonies, the chord progressions... it's definitely been worth the wait! And as much as I hate plugging my vids in your comment section... there's no way my foot and face gimmick outmatched your pure raw technical mastery. Great playing.

[@ErikCPianoman]

It only took me a few years lol. Your arrangement definitely cost you an arm and a leg... and a nose.

[@DSMusic394]

@@ErikCPianoman And a year of living through 2020 😂 but it was worth it for this vid

[@danilomoreno9041]

For this song I guess Eric C Piano man has been drinking enough vodka

[@skiibe]

Just when I thought Erik couldn’t surpass his god tier playing, I was wrong. I was never more proud to be a subscriber than I am today. Much love kind sir and keep up the amazing work!

[@Duhemsounds]

This is super beautiful Erik

[@nathanlively8750]

Despite hearing this piece so many times and different covers of it before this, somehow you still produced something that sounded refreshingly epic and surprisingly new to a very familiar song!! Great work as usual! :)

[@ECGProductions092]

2:28 is fucking insanity and it's like Erik barely has to try.

[@ErikCPianoman]

Trust me, there was a ton of practice behind that to make it *look* effortless.

[@SambolaPiano]

Man this is just amazing, I’m so proud for being a subscriber. You truly are an inspiration for begginers like me :)

[@highlandstorm0137]

This is the first video of yours I've seen, and by variation 1, I already feel like I have no clue what i'm doing anymore.

[@JonathanMorrisMusic]

Can't believe I didn't get a chance to watch this until now. What an awesome arrangement! All the work you put into this really shines through man.

[@ErikCPianoman]

Thx man. This arrangement has been in the works longer than any of my other arrangements. There’s just like 2-3 measures that are frustratingly tricky.

[@cosmoblender]

Thanks for this one Erik, I’m a huge fan of the undertale soundtrack as a whole, but bonetrousle and megalovania are songs I listen to regularly so I’m incredibly happy about this sick rendition of it :)

[@CGJournalist]

Insanely talented as ever. Another amazing video. I love checking back with you. Also, the small side notes were a really great idea. Labelling the segmants and explaining their inspiration demonstrates not only your profound knowlege of music but also that you're just as much a fan of legendary composition yourself. Words fall short of how magnificent this was. Thank you. Undoubtably, this took an extrordinary amount of work and it's very appreciated!

[@ErikCPianoman]

Thx for the in depth comment! Glad the extra work was worth it!

[@ryandemille4037]

This is good... And I haven't even watched it yet. Edit: Now that I have listened to it I can confirm that it is even better than I imagined.

[@jbm2703]

Outstanding!!!!!! This is one of my favorite songs that you have done! The hard work really payed off!

[@DUHRIZEO]

My eyes just got wider and wider as the video went on 😳 Absolutely blown away, that was incredible!

Thanks for all of the great piano content, I love your videos! Keep it up!

[@Jesse-uq3lv]

I can’t get enough of your arrangements. And was blessed with undertale today as a bonus! Can’t wait for more love your work.

[@fernanosyg]

This was awesome, thank you for always uploading when I’m feeling down about the piano and reminding me that if I practice I can play this absolute banger of piece

[@masterofkrynn1002]

Erik this is honestly one of your best videos, one of the best videos out there. The arrangement is SO GOOD! Love how it builds up and transitions! Great colors, good Russian part, and AMAZING buildup to the last part. The last part is too good. I'm gonna try to learn it. Wonderful job, comrade.

[@ErikCPianoman]

Gl. Working on the sheet atm.

[@Kiyaa930]

You are absolutely AMAZING. Like, You never fail to amaze me. Thank you for this

[@LouisR56]

It's so cool to see that Undertale music is still getting interest, Toby Fox has composed one of the most memorable ost of the decade imo; and you did it total justice with that brillant arrangement. No surprise it took you a lot of takes, the LH jumps are seriously impressive

[@ErikCPianoman]

Thx man. This music certainly has staying power. It was fun to dive into it with this arrangement.

[@elojorojo7521]

Are you even human? Thats some off earth talent buddy

[@rkolif6909]

Great work!

[@blahismyname]

I think what I love about your playing most is that your tempo is very consistent. For some weird, reason I have a few pianist friends who are majoring in music and yet have... not the greatest sense of tempo? They don't practice with the metronome, so it makes it hard for me to listen to them play sometimes. If the piece allowed for that kind of freedom, I don't mind too much, but pieces like this that seem demanding and are fast-paced should keep the tempo until the end. Anyway, that's just a long-winded way of me saying that I love how you play and create these amazing pieces and I love and appreciate your hard work! Also, when did your ending music change?????? Lolol

[@ErikCPianoman]

You're right. Consistent tempo is very important for these perpetual motion pieces. I spend a fair amount of time practicing to ensure my rubato is always 100% intentional. lol

[@blahismyname]

@@ErikCPianoman don't know what rabuto is but i think your practice has definitely paid off in all of your pieces!

[@Pamela-dv7gb]
