Hi Ethan, I wanted to say well done, both for this video and for Worthy of Survival. I've been a massive Bear McCreary fan since getting the soundtracks and I've been waiting for this piano book for ages! You really have done those pieces justice - so well done again!
@prettypianogenius2 Thanks so much; you really did a beautiful job with Elegy yourself! I've been turning into a bigger fan of Bear by the day, and I can absolutely identify with your agonizing anticipation. I don't often make purchases, but the announcement of this book was almost too good to be true, and I've pretty much been glued to it ever since! Enjoy playing through the rest.
@spartandud3 Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to use my own piano, and I didn't realize quite how poor the tuning was on this one until after the fact; oh well... The decision not to use pedal for most of the second page, however, was deliberate; I'd been practicing without it, and, over time, I came to like both the cleanness of the sound, and the transition that resulted when I brought the pedal back in at measure 46. To each his own, I guess!
Sorry my name isn't Bear McCreary, but thanks for posting your performance. My skills are years below yours and I can't really imagine ever being able to play the whole thing (perhaps I'll just focus on the one key), but it's helpful to watch your video and follow along with the book. Thanks!~
@PeterDaley72 Bear or no, you were kind to comment, and it's really nice to know that my video can be of use to you. Good luck with your practicing - the piece can be a lot of fun to play!

@Ebogs either way it was a beautiful piece
very good but i advise using the pedal and maybe tuning the piano but other than that very good
