I'm a self-taught pianist who happens to have access to some amazing pianos. Just thought I'd share some of the things I enjoy playing. Thanks for paying attention.
A Cruel Angel's Thesis - Animenz's Piano Solo
The first part of Animenz's arrangement of A Cruel Angel's Thesis. Access to nice pianos is still proving difficult but hopefully more on the horizon... Performed on a Steinway Model D.

Extra Magic Hour - Animenz's Piano Solo (Cover)
มุมมอง 6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
My favourite of Animenz's arrangements to date - I don't think I've ever played anything so cheerful (though I don't think much to the original). This is my first time playing a nice piano in 9 months, and I was rather enjoying myself. The original song is Extra Magic Hour, composed by Akino and arranged marvellously by Animenz.
Pirates of the Caribbean - Jarrod Radnich's Piano Solo
มุมมอง 119K5 ปีที่แล้ว
About eight years ago I first saw the TH-cam video of Jarrod Radnich playing his arrangement of Pirates of the Caribbean. I think it's fair to say it heavily influenced my motivation to get better/start properly learning to play the piano. It's taken this long to get the hang of it (despite a couple of mistakes, it's pretty much there). Note the new bottom D string - see my other video.
Breaking a Piano String
มุมมอง 1.9M5 ปีที่แล้ว
Me snapping a bass string on a Steinway Model D. The video doesn't really do the noise it made justice... The video of me playing this (Radnich's Pirates) without breaking the piano is here: th-cam.com/video/aE4u9Yq1a74/w-d-xo.html (with a brand new bass string, of course).
Dvorak - Humoresque (Op.101 No.7) - Piano Solo
มุมมอง 1.6K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Humouresque No.7 (the famous one) by Dvorak. Sounds much better with an orchestra but I don't have one of them.
Only my Railgun - Animenz's Piano Solo (Cover)
มุมมอง 1.5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
My attempt at Animenz's arrangement of Only my Railgun. This is rather fun to play. Performed on a Steinway Model D. The original song is Only my Railgun, performed by fripSide and composed by Satoshi Yaginuma. It sounds rather different though.

Something in A minor - Piano Solo
มุมมอง 1.3K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Something I made up that I haven't got around to naming yet. But it's mainly in A minor so that'll do as a title.
I Vow to Thee, My Country - Piano Solo
มุมมอง 95K7 ปีที่แล้ว
My arrangement of I Vow to Thee, My Country (theme from Holst's Jupiter) - for solo piano. Recorded on a Steinway Model D.
U suck at piano Just quit bruh
Really awesome! Can you give me a link to sheet music master? I wanted to watch your hands to figure out what keys Are you touching, but it didnt go well 😂
This reminded me of the scene when everyone is shouting during the brethren court scene then jack says something captain Teague snaps the guitar string 🫄
The BEST part was it seems to break at the RIGHT TIME! That's METAL AF! Franz Liszt approves!
hailun upright piano hyundai baby grand piano steinway model o piano with legazpi and sorsogon and naga and manila and mit and cebu drama radio stations in minecraft and block craft and lokicraft
that was by far the worst ending I ever heard.... but I did hear it.
Oliver, are you related to Sir Cecil Spring Rice?
@@WorldEmperor2055 I feel like my father would definitely have said as much if so. So probably not...
Thank you for the lovely rendition. Can you direct me to sheet music for this version? My daughter would like to play it. Thanks!
This is incredible, is there any chance of sheet music becoming available?
I never knew piano strings could actually break like that! They're not being plucked or bowed so there should be less strain on them.
Super great job !
Amazing tune, executed to perfection by an amazing artist. I can’t tire of listening to it. The more I listen to it the more I enjoy ‘I Have Vowed To Thee My Country’. 💜
This is why I have an electric piano :D
you play too fast, i think this cover need some slower
Nice! Liszt broke plenty of strings
7th snare starting from the top-left...
Sheet music please?
RIP Steve
Me who uses a digital piano laughing at the corner😎
Run and never look back 🏃➡️
0:21 is when it broke
Thats why I hate playing Liszt xd
This would be my downstairs neighbor
That was epically good.
My soul would have left my body
Liszt? Is that you?
Why did I expect the string to break with the beat?
*No wonder everyone fears Jarrod Radnich.*
0:18 hmm, i wonder how the string broke
I heard him say in the end " luck on"
Id piss my pants too a Steinway piano is over 200k
bro just broke one of the stronger strings of a piano
What's the piece called?
Amazing. Can you by chance share the sheet music please?
Which piano is this?
It's a Steinway Model D
0:22 Captain Jack Salute
A bit too fast. Slow down and let the majesty and beauty sink in.
Finally a new String.
Magical
The ending makes me flinch
how much did it cost to get it fixed?
That broke in my school also, I hope you are able to get that fixed
This needs to be the UK national anthem
Just try to imagine if this piano would be played by Cziffra, Rubinstein, Van Cliburn, Orozco...or Matsuev (nowadays). This is not serious... I mean, the quality of modern Pianos is not good at all if compared with the older, in terms of materials, etc. Also, the quality of the bass strings (probably too much tension, which not permits an strong attack). They seem designed especifically FOR pianists without a sound (these pianos produce a huge sound... without doing anything) and physically speaking little, weak and tiny people, like children. It is not serious. One hundred years old Steinways (for example) are just unbreakable and enduring, still being played many of them today. ¿¿Really is not possible to practice interlocked octaves passages in modern pianos..., unless you are a tiny person? The talented young man of this video is not playing specially forte or fotissimo AT ALL (neither aggresively, at the contrary). And a bass string breaks because of a crescendo in descending octaves... 100'000 (or more) dollars piano... I mean, not serious. Something is Wrong, and it is not the pianist.
New York or Hamburg Steinway?
Hamburg
Fabulous 😍😍😍😍
Wow!! Wow!!! Wow!!!! What a medicine to my ears, to my soul... Deep inspiration. Thanks pianist to allow angels using your hands and fingers to play amazingly well this hymn.
Love this version. Activity and passion in those left hand runs add so much gravitas to the song. It truly feels victorious and simultaneously solmen, against all odds - inspires great patriotism. Well done!
The reflection of the piano makes it look like the keys are double length
Should I be laughing?
