Hi John, lovely arrangement. Thank you. I’ve just bought this from Music Notes for my 8 yr old son to learn. Is there a chance you could do a top down video so we can work out how you play some of the chords? Sorry to ask but would be amazing as we can’t work out a few finger / hand positions and you make it look effortless! ❤
@@Flashrashno1 I hope you both enjoy playing my arrangement. You have given me food for thought with the suggestion of a 'top down' video. A few people have asked me to do a tutorial video for my 'Pure Imagination' performance/arrangement so I'll work out the best way to doing this.
@johnpianoman Doubling down on this request! Would do anything to be able to see a “top down” version of this perfect arrangement and would start learning it immediately. I’m a self taught pianist who never learned how to read music so I unfortunately can’t play it through sheet music but would learn this in a heartbeat if I had the visual in front of me
This humble, but yet elegant and emotional sound stabs right in my heart. Best piano cover ever, after listening to him playing this songs, other piano covers never get me the feeling he depicted through this song.
Ohhh wow this is recent, I knew I never heard of you before because I kinda listened to all the good versions of this in piano. Your version is great btw! I like it a lot
Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination Reach out, touch what was once Just in your imagination Don't be shy, it's alright If you feel a little trepidation Sometimes these things don't need Explanation If you want to view paradise Simply look at them and view it Somebody to hold on to, it's All we really need Nothing else to it Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination Take a look and you'll see Into your imagination We'll begin with a spin Traveling in the world of my creation What we'll see will defy Explanation If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view it Anything you want to, do it Wanna change the world? There's nothing to it There is no life, I know To compare with pure imagination Living there, you'll be free If you truly wish to be
I am so moved with ur music.So pure, beautiful and humble..After listening to ur music, i was motivated to play something at the piano and then while playing, something amazing happened. I realized i have been trying too hard to prove how special i am thru my piano playing for a while and forgot about the pure joy i used to feel..I feel cleansed now..Thank u so much
Thank you. This is such an uplifting response to start off my week. I always start with the idea that the song is king/queen and our job as musicians is to make that song shine. Best wishes, John
I'm quite convinced it's only a matter of time before your channel takes off in a big, big way, John. Wonderful arrangement - I haven't played in many years but I think i'll have a go at this one! Thank you

We love this magical piece so much! My friends are getting married and they love your beautiful piano cover very much, can I use your cover as their wedding video background music if you don’t mind :)? Will definitely note the credit! Thanks again for this pleasant work!
I am so glad you like my music video and thank you for being polite by asking permission to use the music as the background in their wedding video. I give you my permission and I hope it adds to the magic of their special day. God bless, John www.johnpianoman.co.uk/
Thank you for replying to my message so quickly. I might try from my laptop. I did contact Musicnotes support but because its weekend no reply yet. I should be more patient but when I find the beautiful song like this i just want to learn straight away 😅 I love your arrangement and you play so beautifully. Congratulations 👏🎉

When I film with my camera, I also record the audio LIVE with professional microphones. I then mix and master the audio track in my DAW (digital audio workstation) software. Next, I load the video and mastered audio track into my video editing software. I sync up my mastered audio track to the audio on the video. The final step is to remove the video (camera) audio leaving just the mastered audio. It is quite a process but I'm glad you appreciate the result.

I really like your arrangement of Pure Imagination. I want to get your sheet music but am having trouble with Musicnotes App. Is there any other way i can get the sheet music?
For copyright reasons, I just use Musicnotes to distribute my sheet music. I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with their app. have had several downloads of my 'Pure Imagination' arrangement so I know the system works. Have you tried downloading from their website on a computer or laptop rather than using the app? If that doesn't work contact them. Fingers crossed!
Hi Michael. I play the song in Eb major which is the key of the original 1970 sheet music by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0074193 (and also the key of my arrangement www.musicnotes.com/marketplace/sheetmusic/MK0065452 ). You got me curious though so I checked and Gene Wilder sang it in Db Major in the original film and Timothée Chalamet sings it in Major in the recent Wonka film. Arrangers often change the key to suit the vocal range of the singer.
It was ALMOST perfect, you could have ventured more into the bass and for Christ's sake, USE THE PEDAL!!! there were notes that could have rang like bells, AND YOU CUT THE PEDAL??? NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE?!?!?!?! And take your time with the piece, some parts felt rushed, a piece played that beautifully doesn't need to worry about how long it takes to play it (without being dragged out of course) Solid 9/10

Enjoy!
This is one of the most underrated songs and possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever written
I'm sorry. I'm instantly crying. Thank you. These tears are happy. Such a beautiful melody. ❤
That piano has amazing tonal quality. And this songs puts it to the test.
This is what Christmas feels like when you just wake up at 3 am on Christmas eve and stand in front of the tree. Gorgeuous.
Piano skills and cinematography are great! Definitely deserves more attention
100% true.
This is my favorite rendition of this song I’ve seen so far. ❤
After watching the "New" wonka movie I looked up, pure imagination and found this, it really touched my heart, one day I'll learn it 12/17/24
Don't give up :))
Good luck!
Staggeringly beautiful.
This definitely deserves more views, my favorite arrangement ive found, builds so nicely and captures the song beautifully, others seem quite busy
This humble, but yet elegant and emotional sound stabs right in my heart. Best piano cover ever, after listening to him playing this songs, other piano covers never get me the feeling he depicted through this song.
your piano looks like chocolate
Ha Ha…that’s just a coincidence. Well spotted.
I know you said it because you saw Wonka in the title 😆😆
His hands too :D
Nu uh your chocolate
Someone is hungry 😂😂
This is beautiful - love the arrangement and cinematography!
Absolutely insane :'( LOVE THIS
Where would We all be, without Imagination.

People don't understand stand what there seeing. It makes it look easy
Magical arrangement, magical playing... what a beautiful sound!

Simply look at them and view it
Somebody to hold on to, it's
All we really need
Nothing else to it

Ven a ver junto a mí un lugar jamás imaginado
Y esa luz es así como tú lo habrás soñado
Comenzar por abrir siempre nuestro mundo milagro
Y por fin descifrar el misterio
Tu imaginación puede hallar en los bosques de un arrullo
Cuando quieras ver tu cielo
Mira alrededor es todo tuyo
Tu ilusión se forjó en el mundo de tu pensamiento
Y en su afán de subir nuevos soles descubrir
Tu imaginación puede hallar en los bosques de un arrullo
Cuando quieras ver tu cielo
Mira alrededor es todo tuyo
Tú ilusión se forjó en el mundo de tu pensamiento
Y en su afán de subir nuevos astros a descubrir
Sensational
Anyone have 1hr version of this?
Just go into advance settings and put it on loop 😊
Why don't you just download it, convert it into MP3 and set repeat?
I tried to play your arrangement, but I can’t get those voicings to sound like that. 😢
Letra:
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
Explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
Love this ❤

Why is this in a different key
Hi Michael. I play the song in Eb major which is the key of the original 1970 sheet music by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0074193 (and also the key of my arrangement www.musicnotes.com/marketplace/sheetmusic/MK0065452 ).

Arrangers often change the key to suit the vocal range of the singer.
Damn....
gorgeous, do you have sheet music for this or is this improv?
You can get the sheet music at: www.musicnotes.com/l/V3CNS

This sounds magical at 0.65x speed omg
it would be cool if you did your thing as u do the first 2 minutes. then smooth over to the original tempo. just a tip
Sounds like Henry Mancini
It was ALMOST perfect, you could have ventured more into the bass and for Christ's sake, USE THE PEDAL!!! there were notes that could have rang like bells, AND YOU CUT THE PEDAL??? NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE?!?!?!?!
And take your time with the piece, some parts felt rushed, a piece played that beautifully doesn't need to worry about how long it takes to play it (without being dragged out of course)
Solid 9/10
My Mum got AIDS whilst listening to that piece.
