Rickroll but in the Most Dramatic Way

I know the piano still sounds terrible. That's because there's less dynamic control in MS4 😢 still looking for the most appropriate workaround though..
Anyway, if everything goes well, the full piece should be out within August. Please look forward to it 😁

[@yohanvuignier1270]

Excuse me my lord sir, but the played rythme is not the same as the writen one, is it?

[@jun_wu]

​@@yohanvuignier1270i did put some manual adjustments to the tempo to make it sound not too mechanical

[@devorah_music]

Nothing about this sounds terrible 🤩

[@eboone]

@@yohanvuignier1270 Triplets are denoted without the 3 in this score

Rickmaninoff

[@kaybrown4010]

YES. 😂

[@glowfishin1]

You win.

[@fjbill]

SergeiRoll

[@frankzhou3529]

The most obvious influence is probably the slow movement from his Paganini variations, but I wonder if it was also inspired by the 2nd movement of his 3rd concerto

[@estherk37]

YESSSSS😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wow you got my subscribe

[@EmjayMusic05]

You really have ascended past the whole “song but…” trend at this point.
Fantastic work so far and I can’t wait to see the whole thing!

[@omriella4109]

Rickroll but it’s the finale of the 2nd mov from a romantic piano concerto

[@adamdesanti6713]

That's exactly where it's located in his completed 18-minute piece!

[@slavboii420]

I don't think people will even get mad that they have gotten rickrolled, just marvel at this beautiful composition. Can't wait to hear the full release!

[@rgferreira78]

People see Rachmaninov and I also see little glimpses and sparks from Tchaikovsky. Well done! The whole variations are very well crafted. Keep the good job.

[@fjbill]

This is a SergeiRoll

[@magnussapiens4114]

I may actually learn to play the piano part some day…a beautiful way to get people laughing together. :3
Keep up the good work mate, love the content. 👌

[@kapryeleullulante9055]

This is wonderfull, i love you for that Jun

[@adamdesanti6713]

Phenomenal! How is this not viral? And did you start with this piece and become inspired to build the rest of the 18-minute concerto from here? Also, I hereby declare all future rickrolls must be directed to this youtube video!

[@jun_wu]

Actually it's the opposite. This was a "teaser" 😂

[@Itsyoboyjy]

So this is where it began…

[@estherk37]

This piece actually brought tears to my eyes🥹🥹🥹 BRAVO🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@lindseycooperider9747]

Why does this sound like a happy epilogue to a square enix game?

[@miguel_seonsaengnim]

Yay! This is the best rickrolling I've ever had! (just because I'm an orchestra lover)

[@kieraasahi8240]

Beautiful

[@just.someHuman]

How did you render this video? I have a score but the video musescore made me only shows like the top 6 voices.
Btw this is fucking incredible, I am amazed at you capabilities

[@jun_wu]

Thank you. Actually i exported the score to SVG and audio WAV files. And then combined them in video editing software.

[@radio_marco]

Awesome.

[@tyu3456]

Beautiful 😍

[@mindopolis6089]

Never Gonna Give You Up but played during the classical era

[@FreakieFan]

Romantic era*

[@mateonamer2864]

Wow this is fantastic

[@JoshLeRose]

Never gonna give you up but Rick Astley was a Russian composer in the Romantic period

[@happyman2911]

Thats perfection 😂

[@shundongli4707]

Variation 18

[@jordanai]

XVIIIth variation on a theme by Rick Astley

[@kaibalonek2916]

At the beginning of the video, you see it's actually the IXth

[@jordanai]

@@kaibalonek2916 Ha, good spot! I’ll be honest: I immediately ignored that because it was so clearly inspired by Rach’s 18th variation on a theme by Paganini. The left hand alone seals it, but it’s also in the same key (D-flat major) and time signature (3/4).

[@xeqqail3546]

sheesh
