BennyK's Musical World
Приєднався 9 лют 2014
A bastion of my music-related passion projects. I love performing, composing, transcribing, improvising, and just talking about music. I’m into anything classical, jazz, and K-pop (particularly K-pop transcriptions, remakes, and piano covers).
About me:
I'm Ben from Seoul, South Korea. I've been in the U.S. since high school, where I graduated from Juilliard Pre-College in 2022 and now attend Northwestern University as an undergrad. (College is hard...)

æspa: Supernova - SM Jazz Trio (FULL PIANO & BASS TRANSCRIPTION)
Let me know at benkim2026@u.northwestern.edu if you want the sheet music pdf! I do charge $5 for my transcriptions (via Zelle); your support really means a lot to me, and helps me keep making these kinds of videos!
Yohan Kim is back with SM Entertainment, this time with two other equally awesome bandmates, with another banger! They play what I think is a Kapustin/Miles Davis/Hiromi-inspired rendition of Aespa's newest title, "Supernova."
I watched the music video basically the second it came out, and I decided right away that I had to transcribe this. I raced against the view counter on the MV, to see what is faster: me finishing and uploading this transcription, or the video getting to a million views. Unfortunately I happen to have lost that race, but I'm happy that the MV is getting all the views it totally deserves. This is such a great twist on the newest hit song by hands-down one of the most popular 4th-gen girl groups in the ever-evolving world of K-pop. Once again, though, I couldn't be bothered with the drum part; it is so hard to transcribe, and I feel transcribing drum parts in these jazz style pieces honestly take away from the spontaneity and rhythmic creativity drummers give these pieces.

(TL;DR: SPED UP & POTENTIAL HEADPHONE WARNING LOL) (Altered) performance by yours truly :) My first classical music score video! The classical score video community is ever-large and ever-growing, but I noticed I couldn't find any sheet music videos for Lavignac's ever-popular Galop-Marche. It is SO fun to play, but since all my pianist friends are out somewhere for the summer, this is me playi...

Me trying to improvise really be like: "ok what jazz stuff do I know" "let's stick in a tritone sub" "well i can't think of anything else, tritone sub again ig" Instrumental credit goes to @koreanpopinst for the absolutely amazing MR!

I mean, like, HOW? That's some hard work and talent!!!
And a LOT of time haha
I've been listening to this arrangement so many times and thought it was too niche for anyone to transcribe 🎉 You're the best, thanks a lot for sharing pubicly as well!
Glad you like it!
Awesome
세상에 너무 좋아요 감사합니다!! ❤
Thank you so much for blessing us with this transcription 🙏 AND CRAZY LISTENING LIKE WOW
Incredible
That's really good !
Perfect thank you very much I'll try it out !
This is so beautiful. Thank you for all the time and effort to write this. I hope you're doing well. I'm from Brazil. I sent you an email asking if the sheet music would be still available. Please, let me know. I really apreciate it. Best regards. Sorry any mistake.
Just caught your email -- sorry for the delay!
@@bennyksmusicalworld No problem! Thank you so much!!!
저도 연주해보고 싶은데 악보 받을 수 있을까요?
이메일 보내주세요!
make sure to work out your left hand before playing this
LH do be lowkey harder than the RH
It sounds really similar to alkan's op 35 no 12
Oh I never heard of that Etude lol, as an Alkan lover I will give it a listen
Don't turn Chopin Ragtime into Czerny Exercises
Now that you say that it does sound like Czerny lol

Those left hand stretches are the real challenge here 😂 Interesting work.

Thank u so much for posting thiiiss!! Even though I can't play it yet hahaha
You can do it!
nice job dude
I absolutely love this! Thank you so muchhhh, this is the most complete transcription of it I've ever seen.
Thanks for watching!
You have a more complete transcription than even I had for myself when we recorded this! So many things were being improvised as we went along. Amazing job!!!
Thanks so much Julio - I’m honoured to receive such comments from the performer himself! I really loved your playing and the ensemble work between you and Ray. Keep going!
Slay!!!
Lol thanks Gayeon!
woww I can’t thank you enough for this!! ive tried transcribing things before and I can really appreciate the time and effort you put into this !!! keep up the good work
Glad it helped! Thank you so much!
thank you❤
연주도 직접하시는 건가요? 엘에이사는데 겨울 뉴욕거리를 걷고 있는 것만 같은 느낌이에요..❤ 겨울이 없는 엘에이에서 잠시나마 겨울내음을 맡을 수 있게 해주셔서 감사합니다. 선물같은 연주였습니다 :)
아 제가 연주한건 아니예요 ㅋㅋ 그냥 기보만 했어요!
Thank you ❤
Thank you subscribing!
Hey ! Can I contact you on any social media (like instagram or discord) ? I'd really like to make another musical suggestion for your "banner", harmonising the same melody. Could be a nice discussion I guess ! Thanks for that video :)
You're perhaps better off contacting @Freddy Wickham for that haha!
Bro there is some problems with your channel banner you’re doubling the third 🌚
Doubling the third was allowed and Bach does it often
I saw this video when it was posted on their anniversary and loved it so much. Coming back to this video a year later and it still makes me emotional. Especially, the 'Tag Me' piece... I love that song so so much and you definitely did it justice. I hope you could do more full covers of Weeekly songs, their b-sides too, because the emotion you evoke playing the piano really pulls at my heart strings. Thank you for this amazing piano cover, I'll keep listening to it as I wait for Weeekly to release a new album because I miss them a lot 🥲
Haha thank you so much for watching this and sorry it’s been a while! Same, still waiting for their comeback :( they did release their official colours though so that may be an indication? Let’s hope so!
This is awesome <3 Thank you so much for making this.
Thanks for watching!!
Very nice.
Thank you haha
Thanks for this I’ve always wondered that
Me too
@@FreddyWickhamMusic oh my god it’s the og
Good job!
Thank you so much!

Saw your long comment on AFTER SCHOOL MV and I'm glad to check this piano cover of yours. Good Job Co- Daileee <3
Thanks so much!! Glad you liked it:)
Well-done! Found your channel from your comment on Korean Englishman. As an ARMY, more BTS covers would be great but you play so well that any cover would be enjoyed. Best of luck with your studies (you mentioned studying abroad in your comment).
잘치시네요
Wow nice! Love the vibe too
Thanks! Glad you like it :)
amazing👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
so talented!
Thank you so much!
Uwaaa 😭😭👍
I see you're also a fellow Daileee :))
@@bennyksmusicalworld yes, i really like Weeekly so so much ♡♡
nice one, bro
Thanks man!
@@bennyksmusicalworld you deserve it, bro. trust me
꺄 초면이지만 감사합니다..
들어주셔서 감사합니다!!
Ben very well played indeed!!!! I saw you visited Horowitz at the whitehouse so we have a similar idea of the piano!!
Oh if you mean that I watched the performance video, then yep I did visit! His performances are simply one of the best (my other favourites also include Cziffra, Michelangeli, Argerich and Cho). The thing is, I was born over a decade after Horowitz passed away! 😭
ling ling's long lost cousin XD
HAHA fellow twosetter!
Good evening, Ben Kim. it's a nice video. thanks. :)
Sorry if this is weird but i clicked on your account from a comment and I just wanna say this is beautiful !! you have so much talent and I can see you going so far. I could literally listen to this all day
Tara Collins Lol no worries! Thanks for visiting!
