Thank you, XiaoTong, for sharing this masterpiece with us! For me, the most special aspect of this piece is its use of montage to portray a group of characters, weaving together multiple narratives to build tension. 謝謝曉彤與我們分享這部傑作!對我來說這首樂曲最特別的在於其運用蒙太奇手法描繪一群角色,把多個敘事編織在一起,從而創造出張力。 0:06 The waltz theme elegantly showcases the royal lineage and their relationships with companions, symbolizing their united front in facing challenges together. 0:06 華爾滋主題優雅地展示了皇室的血脈及與夥伴間的關係,象徵著他們共同面對挑戰的團結。 0:21 The music expands with the middle register developing, as if Noctis and his companions are setting out on their journey. 0:21 音樂向上下擴張,中音的旋律發展,是 Noctis 與夥伴們一起開始這個旅程。 0:38 The sound of flowing water, the heartbeat, blended gently with another layer of melody. That's Luna. 0:38 水流般的聲音,心臟鼓動的聲音,與另一層旋律結合,溫柔地融合在一起。是 Luna。 0:53 It's still the journey of Noctis and his companions, but has many elements flowing like water. 0:53 同樣是 Noctis 與夥伴的旅程,但有許多如水一般流動的元素。 1:13 The low octave theme depicts the story of the companions. 1:13 低八度的主題,描繪了夥伴們的故事。 1:29 The triplet in the left hand flows up and down like rapid water, while the two layers of melody in the right hand shows determination. This is the part before the climax of "LUNA". 1:29 左手的三連音像湍急的水流一般上下波動,右手的兩層旋律很堅定,是《LUNA》進入高潮前的部分。 1:44 Again, it's the journey of Noctis and his companions, with an increasingly heavier descent leading to the theme of fate. 1:44 同樣是 Noctis 與夥伴的旅程,最後越來越沉重的下行,銜接到命運的主題。 2:05 The structure echoes 1:29, filled with determination. The rapid arpeggio represents the most intense water flow, marking the climax of Luna's battle in Altissa. 2:05 結構呼應 1:29,充滿了堅定的感覺,迅速的琶音代表著最激烈的水流,標誌著Luna 在水都戰鬥的高潮。 2:23 Gentle notes intertwine with the theme, represents the eye contact between Luna and Noctis during her speech. The rapid arpeggio then leads into the transition where both hands play the theme of fate together. This passage brings together the previous three lines, inserting the most tender segment between the high tension before and after, creating a contrast of emotions. 2:23 溫柔的音符與主題交織。象徵著 Luna 在演說時與 Noctis 的對視。迅速的琶音接著引領進入雙手同時演奏命運主題的過度。這一段匯聚之前的三條線,在前後高張力之間放入最溫柔的片段,創造出情緒對比。 2:41 The key changes, symbolizing a shift, followed by the final appearance of the theme, glorious and sorrowful, telling the story of the finale. At 3:05, various elements from earlier reappear, surging finale with a carousel of memories. 2:41 轉調象徵轉移,接著主題最後一次出現,輝煌、哀傷,是終曲的故事。3:05 重現前面出現的各種元素,宛如走馬燈的回想,澎湃地結尾。 Your polyphonic interpretation is truly captivating! In addition, the visuals greatly aid the imagination. Happy birthday to you and YUS5-chan! 你的多聲部的演繹非常迷人!此外,畫面對想像很有幫助。祝你與YUS5-chan 生日快樂!

I've never clicked on one of your videos this fast!! Happy birthda to both you and YUS5-chan! This is a beast of a piece, isn't it? Super exhausting, but I love it to bits! "I am not a waltz person since I started my piano journey; the dancing rhythm always makes me feel uncomfortable and unnatural." Oh my, we're the complete opposite on that haha!! The waltz rhythm runs in my blood, it's my favorite thing to play 😂Still, your performance is wonderfull! It flows great, really makes me want to relearn it even though I know it'd be painful haha

It is a beast for sure!! Remember I asked you in Vienna how did you sort out the fingerings for the running notes 😂 It was truly a painful but contented experience haha

I completely agree that it is a difficulty for a pianist to play the song "Valse di Fantastica" which has both light interlude and strong main melody in the same sheet music. ❤🔥 對於鋼琴家而言,在同一張樂譜上演奏一首具有輕快的間奏以及強烈的主旋律的"幻想圓舞曲(Valse di Fantastica)"是一項困難的挑戰。 😉
