You have delivered the most impressive and most pleasing version of the moonlight sonata. I have kept replaying the video hundreds of times, especially the ending. The ending is so pleasing to the ear.
I loved everything about this performance--I came here because I first stumbled on your rendition of Debussy's Arabesque No. 1 and it was so beautiful and poignant I cried. I could hear every note so clearly, and I have a new appreciation for my favorite movement of the Moonlight Sonata.
First of all this is a spectacular performance! Thus, this is perfect for a model reference of the song since the camera angle is placed well that I can see both the hands and the wrists. More important than that is your ability to demonstrate the expression into the song, so thank you very much for posting this. I really hope I can perfect this song before my concert next March.
Wonderful!!! . I give up piano when I was young due the family financial status.but I did not give up music. I try to learn flute by myself and just learn some simple and small classical song. It give me much joy in music as well. I still have some few Piano music sheet from when I was young. . You play so nice and wonderful.- Greeting from Chiang Mai, Thailand - Khun Ray.
Welp I guess its official, you are a master piano player. I have always heard from my piano teachers that this song is the measuring point of a great pianist and you sir nailed it.
I have tried, but I just cant get this movement down. And you do it so effortlessly and expressively. I would love to see you in concert performing this.
I am learning this piece at the movement. Love your energy. You even put the piano out of tune with the intensity of your playing; probably those sF chords! Fascinating to see your use of pedal, often tapping instead of just holding down. I will need to copy this because just holding the sustain pedal down leads to an overwhelming confused sound. Thank you for sharing.
I ve been listening to this particular piece in probably a hundred versions, but every time I want to come back to listen to it, I chose this version which in my opinion is the best so far. Also i would give credit to master Barenboim, V. Lisita and Arrau.
@@RickerChoi Your Most welcome,I myself as a pianist know the amount of hardship and training mastering piano requires..The 3rd movement is not easy at all but you were able to get it!!👏👏
@@RickerChoi Oh wow, they are so still haha! Do you have any tips for nailing jumps? I am familiar with the notes and reading rhythms but I sometimes miss jumps of more than a fourth when playing, Also, is there a practice routine you follow? Thanks!
Amazing performance! This is by far my favourite, because very few pianists actually play beginning piano as it's written in sheets, and your sforzando with that kind of resonance is very unique! May I know what fingering do you use in 10th bar - around 0:13? I can't get that part down with fingering in my sheet music that goes every upper gis with 5th finger and on the highest "not upper tone" key, which is fis goes with 3rd finger, so in my sheet music it's like this: fis (3), gis (5)x, e (1), gis (5), dis (3), gis (5), cis (2),... Where I marked "x" I miss that key (or play very quiet) when playing fast tempowith this fingering, because of how close my 3rd and 5th finger have to get to play fis (3) and gis (5) in combination with then going down with 1st on e. I tried this fingering: fis (3), gis (5)x, e (2), gis (5), dis (1), gis (5), cis (1) and it is little better, but not still not feeling right (I play e(2) too quiet and sometimes miss it). So I was wondering, what fingering do you use? Thank you!
o hey thank you so much! it is quite confusing what you referring to with fis, gis, e etc.. may be you can email me ricker.choi@yahoo.ca with fingering written on the piano score?
I'm surprised at the interpretation, at first I thought he was insane but then I realised he was just trying to replicate his idea of beethoven making this song
everyone commenting "kousei" deserves a high five if you understand please REPLY AND GIVE ME A HIGHFIVE THIS ANIME MESSED ME UP

@@RickerChoi seems like beethoven written intense songs like this one.
ayeee
Let's wait for a spring without her
@@NoOne.--_.--..._--_..l--l Hard to survive a spring without her
I love your interpretation of this piece! It's like watching an action movie. It's so intense, yet so calming!
hey thank you!
The best interpretation of this movement that I’ve seen so far.
Thank you so much Harmony!!!!
@@RickerChoi your dynamics are otherworldly and too much for me.
@@RickerChoi one of the best renditions you have
@@lczq6737 thank you Louis!
@@lczq6737 Thank you again!

Valentina Lisitsa made the best one :) I'm not sure if Beethoven himself could play this piece better than her! Haha
omg i know right! no one ever talks about the last few measures, but in my opinion, they're so emotional and dramatic
Ashutosh Kumar, this piece is pure juice from start to finish!
@@Osama-wj5gn AGREED. VALENTINE LISITA DID AN AMAZING JOB!
@@Osama-wj5gn In my opinion he plays better then Valentina.
Amazing performance! You play with more feeling than other pianists I've heard who seem daunted by the difficulty of the song.
*piece, not song
This is not Song! I hear a pianist, not a singer performing. I don't hear any words.
Calm down karens!
This is an absolutely amazing performance of this most beautiful masterpiece!
Thank you so much ! Tanya
Can't stop listening to this masterpiece, it has grabbed my attention and I can't look away
This guy is amazing, the fact that he is relying to comments 7 years after the video was published is just impressive. Amazing!
o hey thanks for your kind comment! this make me happy :-)
It is such a great performance that I enjoy it very much.

I have tried, but I just cant get this movement down. And you do it so effortlessly and expressively. I would love to see you in concert performing this.
thank you! key is play very light the 16th notes in the RH... and crescendo / accent only at the very top
Excellent!
thank you!!!
You play very sparkling and clear!

Thank u Robert!!!!
Well, its Kousei Arima
I ve been listening to this particular piece in probably a hundred versions, but every time I want to come back to listen to it, I chose this version which in my opinion is the best so far. Also i would give credit to master Barenboim, V. Lisita and Arrau.

Thank you Anatasia!!!!
Wonderful playing! I hope to enter amateur competitions when I'm 30 (in 2 years' time). :) Hope to see you at one of those.

Thank you!!

I love the fact that he even plays the left pedal though almost nobody would hear the difference if he didn't.
haha thank you Mr Killer!
your sound is perfect. you are so impressive!
hey thank you so much! check out music in my other videos!
Bravo! The composer would approve!
Glad u like it!
Like the way you play. By the way, like your camera angle, I can see how you work with the pedals. Nice learning reference too.
Then you Deng!!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Agreed! Best performance, recording and camera angle on youtube. Inspirational.

Whoa
精彩纷呈！
thank you!!!!
I love this interpretation of Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. How long did you took to practice?
Hey thank u!!!! It has been years ago so cannot remember exactly how long it took me. I imagine May be 6 mnths to be entirely comfortable with it.
the amount of times i listen to this
Thank u!!!!
Wow so fast but precise. Any tips on the right hand at the beginning main tune. Trying to learn this song.
hey! key with RH is start very very soft, ppp... and suddenly play F, FF at the top! this way you don't use too much effort!
Жарайсың
Another alternative version of Arima Kousei :0
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷 ^^
hey thank you hahaha!

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I would love to learn all this kind of pieces,just that i dont have any piano to start with😔
May be try play at a church? They may rent piano by the hr for people to practise. Or try music schools
That was fucking amazing! I heard The battle man
Thank you Brandon!!!!

@@RickerChoi It's 10th bar in sheet music. OK, I'll send it over to your email. Thank you
I'm impressed not by how fast the fingers are, but by how fast his foot is pressing the pedal lmao
o really haha thank you!
Is half pedalling that necessary ?
Fantastic Ricker, I have you on Facebook, are you currently in Toronto?
Hi Kingsley, yes I am in Toronto. What about you?
I'm surprised at the interpretation, at first I thought he was insane but then I realised he was just trying to replicate his idea of beethoven making this song
o haha cool!
Quick question does your music get muted and you feel like you’re underwater at times? Ps you’re and og if you get that reference
Mmm sorry don't get what u mean
