re-Hello, i would tell what, i play piano since 11 years and i like every partitions of piano on ichigo!!
I prefer that of Final Fantasy IX, it's the best!!
I wish if there is some one who play piano?!

Hello!
I've been playing piano for 9 years and i have my diploma and i want to get my ARCT...
I perfer FF VI and IX music.

I've played for 5 years so far and i like all video/anime music. But my favorite song from Ichigo's is Nina from City Hunters.

It's the fame 'nicki larson"!!!!
I like too (Nina). It's very difycult to play this.

I have been playing piano 10 months now, I am now on grade 4 and I can play alot of the Final Fantasy pieces!

I've been playing the piano for roughly 11 years and I love all final fantasy music and my fav. anime song from ichigos is Morgan - Armor Tristis

Bah, you people make me look bad. :D I've been played piano for 7 years now... Right now I'm trying to polish up the song Eternal Harvest from Final Fantasy IX... Just got done learning Melodies of Life from FF IX ( Great Song ^^ )

At the moment, I am working on Rhthym of Immortality, it's very hard for a beginner!

ehHh ive HAD a piano for about 10 years but didnt ever bother using it until last summer...and it was because of this site i thought it was so cool so i randomly decided to start lol my favorite is taku iwasaki music (from samurai x) but sometimes its in crazy key signatures lol T_T

I've been playing since I was 8... 11 years? Anyway, I still can't play Eternal Harvest from Final Fantasy IX. It really bugs me. One of my favorites has to be Scarlet from Ayashi No Ceres.

You all have such experience! I have to catch up with you all and get some tips!

Michael

Yes, Eternal harvest is very hard, but break it up. Do the first 4 bars very slowly, hands seperate and then speed up for both of them. Then put it together and move on to the next four bars, it's the best way of tackleing hard pieces such as this!

In Eternal Harvest...I found the first part to be easy because the left hand became predictable... It was just later in the song when the right hand takes a faster speed that kinda, catches me off guard if you know what I mean.

i played piano since 6th grade....lets see....1...2....3.....7 years total.
i'm lazy so i didnt even finish eternal harvest....i memorized 3 pages of it tho......

I know what you're saying. I do the same thing when I play Trumpet pieces. If I had more time, I would get it down, but I'm too busy trying to figure out how to play my own pieces. Thanks though.

Oh ya, you can also use the "quote" button like I did. :roll:

I've only been playing for 9 years. And I am not what you can call a dedicated student. ^^;; I am still trying to play Eternal Harvest and I am failing HORRIBLY. So I've turned to Inuyasha's Every Heart. Very pretty song. And not to bad of a key signature either. I enjoy FF music in particular..FF X music. NOBUO UEMATSU IS SO COOL!!! I also am enjoying..Madoka's file :Emotion..From Kimagure Orange Road. I believe. Gomen if its wrong. Very pretty. ^____^ And the only tip I can give..PRACTICE ALOT!!!!! ^____^

Eternal Harvest IS very hard but if you have enough experience in playing any piece, like a chopin piece, then you should be able to play it good.

Every Heart was the one on ichigos thats new rite? i just printed it out today and played 3 pages of it...it seems pretty easy if you can figure out a good finger position......

Misao, I think you can be able to play this good piece in no time. :D

Every Heart isn't too difficult if you take your time.

I'm sorry, Eternal Harvest bugs the hell out of me. I love it, I just get it to be on smooth flow. But I can't work on it right now, to many other songs I have to master.

Happy now? I don't like using quote buttons as I can't reply to more than one person at the same time with out my post taking up alot of space. Anyway, hope you actually get round to practising it because that's the only way your going to learn it and I thought that with 11 years of experience you would havel learned it by now.

It was a suggestion, note the "rolling eyes."

Althought I have 11 years, I'm still at a very low level. I had many family problems that prevented me from playing for some years in the middle, and I didn't get any proper training past my 3rd year.

Not to be mean or rude, but three years of playing and eight years of little training should still secure you to play Eternal Harvest.

I've been playing pianofor 9 years (yet I quit it for 4 of those years, which makes five). I've never owned a Final Fantasy game (just some emulators >.<), so I'm not really a fan of it or the music.

You have to get some JKim, it's really good and sounds amazing, you'd probably love it!?

I have yet to discover a harder song than that of "crazy fingers". Check it out and go mad now...

<span style='color:violet'>uMMm not trying to sound stupid but....where can i get the sheet music for this "eternal harvest"? i see that there is a midi on this site but it doesnt have sheet music and when i put it in nwc it gives me a version for like 4 hands o_O</span>

I searched for it on MSN. I eventually found it, but I forgot where.

I've been playing since kndergarten. That's nine years, almost. Right now I'm working on Eternal Harvest on my own. With my teacher I'm working on Chopin's Prelude in E minor.

Well, you could always download the free version of Finale... considering that the .mus files on the ichigos.com site are kinda...for that program ^^' (and a could others I think...) But I think thats why she has the .mus files on the site... It's set up for 2 hands also.

Hehe. I might have been playing for a while..but I don't really like practicing much. ^^;; Right now I'm trying to get on with Nocturne by Chopin. I have the first page down..but the other pages. Haha. Let's just say I don't have the drive. ^__^ Well I'm still trying to do Every Heart on top of 5 books...(Hanon, Czerny 30, A Korean Book of Famous songs, A Jazz Piano album 1, and Sonatinen album 1) Haha. So forgive me if I seem like a dunce. ^__^ I really like piano and all..except...classical is just not for me. ^___^ Pieces like 'Beautiful' from WK is more suitable! ^____^

Why don't you download the "gif" versions and just print that out?

You should all check out "Rythym of Immortality" from Final Fantasy IX. It's really, really good and has a great mysterious sound to it!

hey,
i've stopped taking piano lessons for awhile... and right now i'm just playing what comes to my head... recently i just tried taking up composition by teaching myself....
i see you guys are talking about finalfantasy. some songs are great... i enjoy most of those songs myself. and for the song every heart... i need to find a better music sheet for it... the one that i have sounds good, but no bass sound as it should... the one in ichigo's to me sounds really funky..... but not exact as the song BoA sang... so yeah... anyone have a better version of the song? tell me plz.

Try requesting it in the Sheet Music board. Maybe someone will be nice enough to find something for you.

Hello, I play the piano since 9 years old. ^^ It's like ten years already. Wow, there's a lot of piano players ~ Anyone heard of Maksim??

Is that a person or a group or something?

I play piano and I like playing pieces by nobuo uematsu and I like playing anime music I am learning change the world from inuyasha and it isn't too hard it is just really long

It is a person. ^^ A piano player.

Does that person (he or she) have an album or something?

i&#39;ve been studying piano on and off since 1995 but i just had my piano last sept 2000 .
so im not that good especially that i have to leave for another place to study the following year.
i think my level is between grade 2-3 <_< sad...

been playin piano for 8 years am really advanced (in a modest sorta way) currently on Fantasie-Impromptu but doing a beethoven Concerto 65 PAGES&#33;&#33;&#33; Also took violin since 6h grade, am in All-State.

Wow&#33; You&#39;re good&#33; Michael&#39;s been teaching me to play the piano, so I&#39;m still a beginner. He&#39;s been teaching me for a total of 2 days, and I can finally play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I could play it before, but now I can read the notes and play it, which makes a lot more sense.

Hi. :) Ive been playin piano since i was like 6 or something. it&#39;s been like 10 years of piano playin now.

ha.... i&#39;ve been playing fer about 6 years now..... grade 7 at the moment >_< itz hard....

I have been playing for almost 4 years. right now I am working on Dearest. I hope to start on another from InuYasha soon, Like Every Heart of Fukai Mori.

I&#39;ve been playing for about 5 of 6 years. The best songs on piano are of course .hack//SIGN In the Land of Twilight, Under the Moon, To Zanarkand, and Suteki Da Ne. I LOVE these songs, they bring back so much memories of Final Fantasy X, to the second two at least.

I was going to work on Everyheart, but sarah beat me to it. I agree that her version is a bit....funky, so I might consider arranging another version of it. Her song is more of a....syncopated song, which is good for some songs, but I don&#39;t think its appropiate for slow songs. But then again, she did one hell of a job making it work out to sound as good as it does with syncopation&#33;&#33;&#33;

Anyone here love Super Mario on the piano?

Hello&#33;&#33;
I am playing piano Hellsing-songs ... :wub: Pfoooouuuuuuuuuuu &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
It&#39;s great&#33;&#33;&#33; :D it&#39;s very beautyfull &#33;&#33;&#33; ( Hellsing-opening)

@+ <=> Tschus

i&#39;m currently playing Tidus and Yuna&#39;s theme... for my recital ^^

Ive been playing piano since.....hmm...november? maybe late october. So thas about 6 months lol&#33; I take lessons once a week and my teacher is great&#33; shes so laid back about if i dont practice enough, because she knows that school work and stuff is more important, or if i just forgot lol&#33;
Ive learned(and memorized) Sango&#39;s theme(Inuyasha), Aeriths theme, Waltz for the Moon, Eternal memory of Lightwaves(ffx-2 opening credits theme), and im learning Zanarkand, Im about done with it, and i dont know what to learn next&#33;&#33;
hmm...maybe Suteki Da Ne

Am working on La Campanella... >< been working on it for like, a few months already... so hard...

Yikes WindF2Joker, La Campanella&#33; That&#39;s a really hard piece, good luck&#33; After learning that, you should try and learn Fantasia Impromptu by Chopin, it&#39;s excellent&#33;

waa I don&#39;t know La Campanella X_X I might just have to check it out..

mm I agree, great piece to play... fun ^_^

only been working on FFIX: Piano Collections pieces... and a few pieces from Madoka&#39;s Piano Files..

hehe, i&#39;ve already learnt fantasia impromptu.. that&#39;s why I&#39;m going onto La Campanella ^^

wa windf2joker damned good...... learned fantasia impromptu >< I looked at it and went NOPE I&#39;m not learning that...... eeek... -_-&#39; I&#39;ve learned 4 years currently grade 7 and let&#39;s see...... favs are FF VI FF VII & going to get a hold of x-2 piano collections sheet book once it&#39;s out.... ^^ hehe currently learning: still more fighting (FFVII) and cosmo canyon (FFVII)

Okay I&#39;m probably going to come off as rude here, but:

1) I went to the Ichigos&#39; game music page to download "Eternal Harvest". By looking at the score, I don&#39;t think there&#39;s anything challenging at all about the piece, aside from the fast pace. Practise slowly, and then build up.

2) I hate Maksim. I&#39;m still a firm believer that people who play classical with drums n&#39; bass/techno background music deserve to be shot in the head. Other examples: Vannessa Mae, Bond, etc..

3) La Campanella is extremely difficult. I have learnt Fantaisie-Impromptu as well, and La Campanella isn&#39;t even on the same difficulty level (La Campanella is much more difficult). But if you want to try it, I hope you manage well. :) It&#39;s a fantastic piece if played properly (most people play it terribly). If any of you want to listen to it, the best version in my opinion is Yundi Li&#39;s. There&#39;s a video of him playing on the Deutsche Grammophone website, if I&#39;m not mistaken. My internet is working funny right now, so I&#39;ll give you guys the link later. Some people like George Cziffra&#39;s version as well, because he plays OMG LIEK TWICE AS FAAST AS NORMAL SPEED&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;1111

A bump to this thread, because I just wanted to mention that I got an Honours for my Guildhall Grade 8 piano exam..

The pieces I played were:

JS Bach, Fantasie in C minor BWV906
Schubert, Impromptu in C Op.90 No.1 (D899)
Brahms, Capriccio in F# minor Op.76 No.1


How do I feel?

RAWR.

Wow, lately I&#39;ve been noticing all the people who can play Fantasie Impromptu . I never realized before all the skills on this forum&#33; ^_^ Let&#39;s see: Zero, Spoony, WindF2Joker, Moebius, Alphonse, sorry if I miss others :think:

But Moebius, if you can play it, and you just did your grade 8 exam, then how does your grading system work?

And congratulations&#33; (although I&#39;ve never heard those pieces)

Anyways, as for me, I&#39;ve been playing piano since I was 6 years, so um, 14 years total. Now I&#39;m slacking off. :heh:

I&#39;ve been playing piano for as long as I remember, but It doesn&#39;t come very naturally to me (at all :sweatdrop: ) so I&#39;m stopping my piano lessons in the fall. I want to focus more on school (and music in school)

Currently learning:

Battle With Gilgamesh (FFV Piano Collection)
Ukele le Chocobo (FFIX Piano Collection)
Aloha de Chocobo (FFIX Piano Collection)

(I loooove my chocobo themes)

I play since February , I know few things .__.

But, I&#39;m sure, that someday, I&#39;ll play those great and beautiful songs&#33;

Btw, who is the composer, for that song Sad Piano from Lunar Silver Star Story (I think that is it) game???

I&#39;m looking for it a long time ago @_@.

Songs I&#39;m learning:

- Alla Turca (almost finished >:D)
- Jesus, Joy of Man&#39;s Desiring (almost finished too >:3)
- Sad Piano
- Misato (from Evangelion) Theme
- Rei (from Eva too) Theme

speakin of piano pieces.....
anyone know where to listen to chopin pieces online? like midi format?

cuz i&#39;m lookin for a song and i think chopin was the composer...i asked my teacher and he doesn&#39;t remember when i played a measure for him.....

Alphonse,

Well, I&#39;m taking the Guildhall Board, not the RCT board. Our highest "grade" before the first (associate) diploma is Grade 8... The pieces in the syllabus are very, very difficult -- some are diploma level in other boards like ABRSM and Trinity.

(I think the Brahms piece I chose was in the ARCT syllabus, if I&#39;m not mistaken)

AznJoe, you can use this site for all your classical music needs:

http://www.classicalarchives.com

..and if you want sheet music, this site would help too:

http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net

Please note that the sheet music in the Sheet Music Archive are sometimes inaccurate -- so if there are any wrong notes, don&#39;t blame me :P

Now that my Grade 8 is over.. My diploma is next.. I have no specific pieces yet, but my programme (25-35 minutes long) will be something like this:

A Prelude & Fugue from Bach&#39;s WTC
A full Mozart sonata
One of Rachmaninoff&#39;s Preludes... perhaps the one in C#minor, despite being too famous
One piece from Ravel.. or Debussy. For Debussy I have "Pour le piano" in mind.

ahh, I just watched the music video of Yundi Li&#39;s La Campanella... wow, so impressed... it&#39;s such a nice piece ^^ inspired me to persevere with it, coz it&#39;s so hard... =_=

and it&#39;s no wonder that Yundi Li won the chopin competition, he&#39;s sooo good....

just wondering, what IS Fantasie Impromptu?

I have a tune in my head that MIGHT be it, but I might also be waaaay off.

there are so many versions of the midi of this song.... but I guess this is one of the better ones...

click here (http://www.piano-midi.de/midis/chopin/chpn_op66.mid)

yes this was the song I was thinking of ^_^

I could never play that (being quite piano-ly challenged)

i was lookin for Fantasie Impromptu&#33; and another piece but i forgot the name when i was lookin for FI....

now to find the other chopin piece...at least it sounds like chopin...

I played the Fantasie for a Recital sometime in May. This is what I&#39;m playing now TOO HARD (http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Choir/5479/chop23b.mid)

I know you&#39;ll hear it and say it&#39;s easy but listen to the whole damn thing and you&#39;ll go crazy&#33;&#33;

omg....too long....i dont even think i can play for that long.......

sounds good tho. i think it IS hard during the middle somewhere.

I want to play Evangelion - Good or Don&#39;t Be and like the notes you play together are so damn far apart I don&#39;t think my fingers can stretch an octave.

Hey A-BOn &#33;

Tu sembles avoir un peu de misère avec l&#39;anglais, c&#39;est assez apparent. :sweatdrop: Mais bon, c&#39;est pas trop grave. Moi, je suis en train d&#39;apprendre le piano par moi-même. Je ne pourrais pas te dire quel niveau je suis car je ne le sais pas non plus; d&#39;ailleurs, je ne sais pas comment on fait pour «calculer» les niveaux de piano. Pourrais-tu m&#39;apprendre ? :think:

Chopin&#39;s G minor Ballade, huh? Yeah, it must be TORTURING. I hope to learn it someday... I&#39;ll probably start with the Ab major one first, though -- the easiest.

Hey all your good piano players,

I have been playing piano for six years and I am teaching myself how to play Overworld from Zelda and the Final Fantasy 7 Battle Theme. One last thing...Piano helps if you are playing to flute or another instrument&#33; I play flute, I practice sometimes and I still get A&#39;s in band&#33;

I&#39;ve had lessons since i cant remeber, am currently learning to play Snow, from noir

just havent got round to it before

Started piano when i was 5...so around 12 years? but i stopped 2 years cuz immigrated to Canada, no piano...<.< almost lost all my interest in piano.

um...Fantasie Impromptu eh? man i can&#39;t really get the rhythms JUST right, it&#39;s always off just half a beat...so i have to play fast to cover it up V_V ARGGGG

currenly working on Polonaise Opus 53
if you wanna hear it go HERE (http://www.karadar.it/MidiArchive/DownloadNet.asp?id=chopin_polonaise_heroic_op53.mi d)

I played Trombone for five years. But it was school instrument, and I didn&#39;t want to buy one...so I started learning piano since 2 weeks :sweatdrop: (on a little 4 octave keyboard with..hmm TOO much sound...quality traded for quantity here).

I&#39;m still poor at reading in treble clef..since trombone is in bass clef.
I know some blues basic (chords, rythm, gammes).

I can barely play a piece...I want to be able to play FF VII AC theme (took it from ichigos) in two weeks :)

(I didn&#39;t think it was going to be that hard to coordinate the two hands)

I played that Fantasy Impromptu before, but I only got up to the end of the first major phrase (2 or 3 systems) because I had to finish another song I was working on for the recital at my high school (Bach: Partita no 2: Sinfonie (part 1 of that partita).

I love the Chopin Ballad (1) in g (op 23) very very nice... and no it doesn&#39;t sound easy anywhere.. brilliantly structured, although around 8 minutes when it starts that phrase... masterful... someday if I have time


Anyways, about 7-9 years for me (I&#39;m not EXACTLY sure... I think 8...) the first 6 years were a joke... had a bad teacher but didn&#39;t realize it... (because I&#39;m an idiot... ^_^ I&#39;m back where I should be now hehe)

^_^ Hey i have been playing for along time i lost trakc but i can play chopin&#39;s g ballad and FI.

:D :unsure: :whistle: :poke: :offtopic: :nono: :angry: :jerry: :D

NOOOOOOOO~&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

i haven&#39;t touched a piano in 4 weeks and when i played today......something horrible happened.....

i forgot how to play the songs&#33;&#33;&#33;

that means i have to re-memorize all those songs all over again&#33;&#33;&#33;

NOOOOOOOOOO~&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Just practice. ^^

I think I can fianlly play "Fur Elise" perfectly now. The middle part still boggles me for some reason, and I KNOW it isn&#39;t that hard.

Dude, I forget songs after I play them at the recital. I&#39;m still working in the &#33;@#&#036;%^& Chopin Ballade in G minor. Got chewed out by my piano teacher on wednesday, now I have to practice 4 hrs X_X

I&#39;m going to start learning Die Kunst Der Fuge (The Art of Fugue) later... :D

man I haven&#39;t touched the piano for a month now :heh:
started Fantasie Impromptu for so long, haven&#39;t got past the first 2 pages :P

Okay, my situation:

Still trying to finish up Mendelssohn&#39;s Rondo Capriccioso

Just started on the a minor Mozart Sonata..

Trying to improve technique by playing a Chopin Etude..


So stressful. >_<

@ michael: yeah, I always screw up the middle part for some reason

@ Ayanami: I really should find the cd for that song and listen to it again

@ Gnomish: which instrument is it for?

@ Zero: heh, I find that I can still play it almost decently after not practicing for a few weeks

@ Moebius: oh gosh, it&#39;s been so long since I last played the rondo, it used to be in my repertoire because people loved seeing the hands moving all over the keyboard . . . there&#39;s only one a minor sonata I can think of, hope that&#39;s the one you&#39;re talking about, cause I like the 1st movement . . . which etude? I want to learn the butterfly one&#33;

Yeah the rondo is fun as heck.. but difficult @_@ My technique is pretty crappy so it is gonna sound like sh*t.

I only know one A minor sonata too, the K.310 one.. The first movement is orgasmic, yes I agree.

I&#39;m playing the Op.10 No.8 Etude. Not a particularly known etude, though.


The G minor Ballade is greatnesssss.... Although I prefer the F minor and Ab major ballades.

it&#39;s too hard. haha funny thing is, I played the Fantasie Impromptu for my last recital and the ROndo Capriciosso for my last last recital

well..im begging the song fantasia...part I and II its 5 page each man&#33;
i played for about 4 years now...just finished a whole bunch of sonatas and sonatinas... i hate bach music...takes too long...

i&#39;ve only began the piano, didn&#39;t go to any schools&#33; i learned to play coz i was addicted to music, i like playing Final Fantasy music, Nina from Cityhunters, and more, but for the time being i like playing To Love You More- Celine Dion, such a nice piece&#33; I suggest we all try it out&#33; ^-^

:think: Don&#39;t mind me i&#39;m just knew around here, as i started playing the piano that was only a few months back, i joined Ichigo on Aug.14, 2004, well if anyone like to help me around this site, i&#39;d love a good tour&#33;

Selinity <_< :sweatdrop:
