- So far I have not wanted to make public the music score of my arrangement, because I change it very often.
Well, in september 2020, have changed my mind.
I have decided to make available the transcript of my performance, upon donation

What a deliberate and incredible interpretation of one of the greatest pieces of progressive rock ever written!
Maybe the greatest
Yes - THE greatest
Mr.Tony Banks composed this masterpiece at the ripe age of 22! 22!!
Absolutely beautiful Mr. Bucci
Oh tits, Banks was like a god.
!!!!
I have heard this song was written when he was attending the collage, so before and he used the Fibonacci's series to write it
...the author is Steve Hackett...
@@antonioledesma6951 Sorry this is not true , Banks wrote this song in 1972 Steve just did the quitar part later
Tony Banks at 22 years old !!! The most underrated Keys player of all time. BRILLIANT work here Massimo !!! BRAVO !!!
Generally best years for artistic works. Then you have time, no kids and family. Just pure mind
this is so under-rated / sure that Mozart would have listen to this in awe - long live Tony Banks
agreed !
Mozart would have said it was pure crap.
@@BattManion1979 words of jealousy
Seriously. Mozart was deeply involved. 'Firth of Fifth is a trifle compared to Mozart. NaCl, you are a dumb cluck.
@@BattManion1979 Mozart would have embraced prog rock. Firth of Fifth would've blown his mind and changed the way he views music
25% of the people who listen to my music on you tube is Italian,
75% is the rest of the world.
Just as it is for my subscribers.
This gives me a lot of joy :)
+Massimo Bucci I love you Massimo....I am from Argentina born in Argentina....Mi mama di Pescara.... kiss.. Your Tarkus versión is amazing....
+Marta Ovi Thank You very much Marta :)
+Massimo Bucci One Planet, One people ! Un jour se sera vrai en pratique et tu y auras contribué ! Mais déjà ce matin à Montréal, j'écoute un pianiste italien qui joue une pièce d'un groupe britannique et qui répond en portugais à ses fans Brésiliens. vivere la musica, vivere la vita !
+Jean-Francois Langevin Great comment Jean-Francois!
Good Morning Massimo! It is a beautiful early morning in Montana, pre-dawn. Very lovely rendition of one of my favorite songs. A great way to start the day. Bravo!
It's 2019 now , still love the performance, I'm 63 yrs. old , Genesis was my favorite group of musicians, nobody knew back then, what detail was in music. More than Lovely performance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks for your comments, Hill Shepherd!
@@MassimoBucciMusicistawell-deserved; Bravo!
I am speechless. You captured not only the text but also every emotion
I've lost count of the times I come back here to listen to this impeccable rendition of Firth of Fifth. It has to be one of the best.
Me too!
Me three
Hi, this is the first time for me I hear a non-Genesis version of this masterpiece without missing any voice, instrument or sound. In other words, IMHO this is the absolutely best non-Genesis version ever. My first time I felt a strong listening emotion after the First time I listened to the original one. Thank You Thank You Thank You
Grazie :)
Piano transcription is obviously such an art form, to say nothing of this man’s obviously very skilled technique. But the transcription, what a gift! I’m in awe.
Same sentiment from me
Thank you 777jones!
Luca,
I'm glad that many people recognize themselves in your nice comment! 👍
I can't think of any superlatives that have not already been mentioned in the previous comments..................
I've just played this video 5 times since finding it this morning - I will play it many times every day
😃 Thank you Monkey Nuts 😃
God - that first minute is sublime
La ascolterei per ore questa e" una versione strumentale da brividi Phil Collins TonyBank and Co possono esserne fieri complimenti Massimo
Mi emoziono fino alle lacrime. La gioia di un passato che ritornerà sempre, sempre.
This is the best intro I’ve ever heard besides the original and the best cover. The dynamics control and contrast is just as close to perfect as one can get. Also the fact that you were able to successfully turn Steve’s guitar solo into a piano solo is just amazing. Strings to keys is not an easy transition. I listened to the original song a day after hearing this and it’s about as close as one can get. I think Tony would approve
Thanks Rosalind 😊
Actually after this video I continued to work on the arrangement to make it even closer to the original and, at the same time, enrich it and better adapt it to the piano (in the vocal part and in the guitar solo). I also corrected a couple of details of the intro. These are the results: ua-cam.com/video/2m90j5ONYuc/v-deo.html
and

Heard a couple of pianists playing old Genesis. They were good. This is worldclass. OMG! As an old Genesis fan, I buy in all the way through Mr. Bucci and his Yamaha's performance to an extent, where nobody I have heard so far can even begin to match. E-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t and thank you!
Um grande obrigado ao público brasileiro que, segundo as estatísticas do meu canal, está procurando mais e melhor aprecia este vídeo (mas também outra mina).
Muito obrigado, e viva o Brasil e sua bela música!
(Un grande ringraziamento al pubblico brasiliano che, secondo le statistiche del mio canale, è quello che guarda più a lungo e apprezza maggiormente questo video (ma anche altri miei). Grazie di cuore, e viva il Brasile e la sua bellissima musica!)
+ralgarte obrigado :)
Massimo , un grande abbraccio , siamo in Brasile molto ammiriamo il tuo talento ! Parabeni.
Qualsiasi tipo di musica che si gioca la Genesi , io ascolto , Tony Banks è orgogliosa di sicuro.
Mille Grazie, Jabes!
Maravilhoso! Adoro essa música executada por você. Parabéns!
It's 2023 now , still love the performance, I'm 66 yrs. old , Genesis was my favorite group of musicians, nobody knew back then, what detail was in music. More than Lovely performance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Massimo: the very first thing I noticed in your playing is that you play Genesis with the exact right touch, articulation, dynamics, sustain pedal work and timing (for my taste that is). Many (great) pianists (and orchestras BTW) play it with what sounds like a 100% classical approach to my ears - and the off beat (syncopated) notes sound all very stiff. Not so in your case - all syncopated notes fit perfectly into the flow - as in the original music! You have the touch of a pianist who plays classical and also jazz/latin. I checked your channel - "Bingo!". :-D Awesome!
Christian Schonberger
I've always enjoyed playing and listening to different musical genres and mix them in my arrangements and in my compositions. Thanks again, Christian, for your attention and sensitivity with which to listen to me :)
I can only reiterate what Christian S says
Many of the ”classical“ pianists on YT are so ”engrossed“ that they end up butchering the soul out of Genesis songs.
Then there are the other ”types“ who don‘t have the technique or virtitude to do the music justice.
Massimo, you have the perfect balance. Please give us more G classics.
@@SirDonovanAston Thank you 😊
Yuss!
You just put your finger on what irritates me about most 'hip, cool, with-it' Classically-trained-personnel orchestrations of pop songs.
Kinda inverse pretentiousness somehow.
Thankyou!
:-)
I'm crying, man.
Seen this performed live many times by Roger King with Steve Hackett. Always a collective holding of breath before it begins. Wonderful.
Fabuleux, j'en ai les larmes aux yeux tellement c'est beau. Merci Tony BANKS et Massimo BUCCI.
Grazie a tutti coloro che danno il proprio "like", esprimono apprezzamenti o semplicemente gradiscono questo video.
Tutto ciò mi spinge a continuare a lavorare per migliorare l'arrangiamento e l'esecuzione.
Ciao Massimo....this is one of my favorite Genesis tunes. Your arrangement is beautiful. Your dynamics, voicings, tempi, and rhythm capture the spirit of Tony Banks' original composition. Thank you for sharing this epic piece of music.
Massimo Bucci Grande
Beh ! per quello che vale la mia opinione , credo che sei uno dei piu' bravi interpreti della musica dei Genesis . Nè ho ascoltati diversi , dal piu' virtuoso al piu' fedele , ma tu Bucci mi sembri quello che da' piu' pregnanza ai loro brani , fedele ma nello stesso tempo , lasci intravedere tutta la " ricchezza " emotiva , che hanno questi brani .
Bravissimo.
Sono un ''vecchio'' estimatore del primo periodo Genesis, quello con Peter Gabriel e Steve Hackett.
''Selling England by the pound'' è, forse, il migliore album rock mai scritto, e l'apertura di piano di ''Firth of fifth'' crea uno spazio ideale, un'atmosfera quasi religiosa che predispone all'esperienza dell'ascolto.
Nella tua interpretazione ci sono tanta accuratezza quanta sensibilità, rispetto ed amore per lo spartito originale.
Grazie, per la condivisione di quest'esperienza.

Fantastico
Esecuzione meravigliosa, piena di dinamiche.
E suono del pianoforte eccezionale.
Beautiful solo version !! Everything is there. What an honour to Mr. Banks !
Genesis, my favorite band for 43yrs. So this brought tears to my eyes. So beautifully done💕. Thank you sir, for sharing this with us🌺.
Da musicista dico che questa versione suscita così tanta emozione che riesce difficile esprimere a parole.
Questo capolavoro dei Genesis qui risulta ancora più travolgente e sensazionale.
Complimenti veramente al maestro Bucci.
Grazie per questa bellissima versione.
I know this song inside and out. This is really an incredible interpretation.
Masterpiece of english rock from the golden years.......and I was so young !!!
napoli 6 2 1974 . avevo 16 anni . a quasi 60 mi commuovo sempre come quel giorno. fantastici, ineguagliabili,mitici. grazie massimo.
That was absolutely incredible. The volume control, and my daughter and I said to each other that is the best introductory cover we've heard on UA-cam.
Thanks to you and your daughter😀
My FAVORITE piece of ANY Genesis song, I have all of their songs and this is by far the most beautiful song they ever released and as I am listening to you play this and heard the transition where the band normally joins in.... and there you are just playing the rest of the song, as a piano player for some reason I just started crying... this IS the most beautiful version of the song i've ever heard, all on piano. THANK YOU made my day!! You are a MASTER!
So glad to know that Leon not only survived but also became a master of the piano
among the audience of this video, you are the second person who sees this similarity. I myself was surprised to notice it, many years ago, then a colleague of mine also told me.
@@MassimoBucciMusicistathanks for taking it with humor!
Congratulations for the amazing work, I hope one day I can play this rendition of one my favorite songs :)
From a time when rock bands wrote songs awesome souls touching
Ho 56 anni, da 40 ascolto Genesis, da oggi ascolto anche te. Grazie.
I was expecting only the intro, and behold!....a gorgeous piano arrangement of the WHOLE piece! Played as beautifully as it was interpreted and arranged. It would be worth Tony Bank's time to hear your tribute for certain!
Bravissimo!
This is an absolute masterpiece by Tony. Jesus🤗🤗
Just jumping by, 7 years later to remind you - you are a GOD.
Did you already hear this seven years ago? Thanks for coming back!
Every time I come back and listen to it I am brought to tears. Tony Banks and Massimo Bucci thank you! Wow. Thank you for sharing your gifts! Wonderful. Just wonderful!
Wow. This is the finest performance I’ve seen on UA-cam. Made my heart soar, and brought tears to my eyes.
This is the first time I heard a 10 minute video of solo piano rendering of Firth of Fifth all the way through. Mostly, the first 2-3 minutes is enough to deem someone "well, that's good..." and one moves on. But to keep the listener in such an iron grip all the way through, i e one can't just let it go, one is just immersed and wants to hear how this continues and ends. That's a major feat. I e keeping the listener on the toes, with drama, tension, and release. You don't reveal everything in one blow at the start, but one has wetting appetite to just hear more and more. You're not just a hack that fixes it technically, and virtuosic, but there's emotion, and your playing is charged with plenty of "sense of wanting to go somewhere", urge, flow, and hungriness and all that, that wants the listener to sit out til the end. Captivating performance indeed.
I've heard a lot of pianists do the Tony Banks Intro, but this is easily the best interpretation of the ENTIRE song I've heard for solo piano.
The playing is superb, but when you see it played, you then realise what a wonderfully-crafted and fluid composition it is...
Finally someone who plays the intro at the corect tempo! Almost everyone plays it too fast. Thank you.
correct tempo
Unbelievable! Maestro Bucci affords to play all the Genesis aparts alone on a piano. Firth of Fifth is one of the greatest progressive rock songs ever written and its unbelievable difficult to play. This must be one of the greatest achievements on earth!
La cosa STRAORDINARIA di questa MERAVIGLIA, è Il tocco pianistico, nella simulazione ( mi scuso per il termine, forse inappropriato😏😏) della performance di Gabriel al canto..... nella primigenia versione del '75!!! GRAZIE MAESTRO 🤩🤩
In my opinion this is in the top 5 best pieces of music ever written. A well hidden gem. Brilliantly played I might add.
Thank you so much for giving us this. I love early Genesis (Peter Gabriel era), this is remarkably faithful to the original, and stands up well as a piece of music in its own right.
Perfect volume control, so faithful
So nice to hear modern music that is also beautiful and coming from a Prog Rock band, Genesis....genius.
Surely as good as any Chopin? A brilliant piece of music played by a brilliant pianist. Well done!
Brilliantly played. I am sure Genesis would have been proud of you. The introduction part resembles key by key. Appreciation from India.
ancora pelle d'oca... magnifico....
When I come to this video I always end up listening to the whole thing.
Very well! Thank you :-)
Absolutely beautiful rendition of a Tony Banks classic. I believe a lot of Genesis' early work will stand the test of time. Much like the Classical music my father taught me to appreciate when I was young but didn't really grasp until I was older. Thank you Massimo for sharing your tremendous talent!!
Non solo sei tecnicamente bravo, ma riesci a rendere con un solo strumento l' espressività musicale di questo pezzo che amo da quando sono bambino. Bravissimo!!!
I thank to God I came here to see you play this masterpiece, sire. I can die in peace now...
The reason i like this song so much is because of the piano and the guitar.
I debate in my head if i like the piano sound or the guitar but on this song i lean more to the piano.
Thank you Mr Bucci
Cheers
Rob
Massimo mi hai davvero impressionato ma sopratutto emozionato. I Genesis sono la colonna sonora della mia vita. Bravissimo ed ancora complimenti per la tua meravigliosa interpretazione di questo capolavoro assoluto.
Grazie Maurizio!
Nothing like hearing a piece in its most elemental form to reveal just what any incredibly powerful, beautiful and timeless piece this is. Fantastici bravi!!
This guy deserves an Oscar !!!!
As I will never play the piano like Massimo Bucci, decide to leave for Italy and enjoy the last eruption of Etna. The crater awaits me!
😂
5000 likes!! Thank you!!! 😃
Deserves 50,000 and more Massimo you not only have the talent you have the soul of an early Genesis fan . This is my favourite among many and you did it proud 👏👏👏thank you and more please .
Absolutely masterful. Thank you for cracking the code of this exceptionally complex piece of music, Until now there has been no scribed scoring of this song, For you to not only transcribe the piano through melody but to lace in each of the other bands instrumentals within your chording is outstanding and impressive beyond belief. You are a Master.
+Richard Berg Thank You Very Much, Richard!
La buona musica non muore mai
Thank you , nothing more to add as your playing does it for you
another year has passed by and i still love this version
As a Genesis fan for 40 years this is an absolutely awesome version of Firth of Fifth, so brilliantly played by you. Thanks for sharing your musical genius - I loved it!
I complimenti, giusti e doverosi, li hanno già fatti, io vorrei solo dire Grazie, mi sono regalato 10 minuti di piacere assoluto, gustando questa bella interpretazione ad occhi chiusi, grazie ancora.
Already saw/heard this video dozens times, and Thank You so much Massimo, that makes me allways connect to the images and feelings that I have since I heard the original album in the Lyceum. You play it superbly, and your expressions, yours accents, yours silents, never distract us from the ideas we have from the original memories. You've capture micron by micron all the intensity and profoundness of the theme. THANK YOU MASSIMO BANKS.
Absolutely beautiful playing. You just earned a new subscriber. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Thank you Constantine!
This is someone who understands and let's you hear/
I find myself going back to this for listening ( and watching) . Thank you for playing one of my favorite songs on this very accurate and magical way that holds within it the original spirit of this masterpiece
Bravo...Bravo Senor Bucci...Love it...❤❤❤❤
greatest Firth of Fifth plays in piano....I'm enjoy every single second listen to your music!!!
Thank you Didi Arifin!
Questa versione è davvero riuscita. Mai sentito una interpretazione cosi bella di questo brano che tanto mi piace. Complimenti Massimo...un grande.
This is just incredible....never seen or heard one person do the whole song on piano....and it is just beautiful.....thank u so much for this blessing❤️
Fantastic rendition of a genesis classic superb
Fantastic rendition one of my favourite genesis tracks bellisimo Massimo
La canzone è tra le mie preferite e non l'avevo mai sentita per solo piano. Devo dire che mi ha letteralmente stregato. Complimenti sentiti per la splendida interpretazione. Grazie.
The new version of Firth Of Fifth is coming...
I'm looking foreward ! grazie
Can't wait, can you already tell what you're planning to do differently :D?
Ci sono tanti aggiustamenti nell'armonia della parte cantata e della parte in cui il Synth riprende l'introduzione del pianoforte, poi, ci sono nuovi elementi aggiunti prima della parte del flauto, c'è un cambio del basso prima della ripresa cantata e, infine, c'è la coda ampliata.
English
There are so many adjustments in the harmony of the sung part and of the part where Synth resumes the introduction of the piano, then there are new elements added before the flute part, there is a change of bass before the vocal shooting and, Finally, there is the enlarged tail.
Can't wait. How about One For The Vine?
@@MassimoBucciMusicista Still waiting for the new version
Do you meditate?
Massimo : Yes, I play firth of fifth.
😄
Stupendo! Il pezzo, e l'arrangiamento-escuzione....
Excellent, brilliant actually.
I've listened to several attempts at this on UA-cam lately, but this is easily the most excellent.
E' uno dei brani dei Genesis che apprezzo molto. Bravo il compositore Tony Banks. Del resto come tutta la musica progressive. degli anni '70. Questa interpretazione "classica", rende il pezzo eccezionale. Bravo. Complimenti.
Absolutely stunning performance.
The closest to the original version I founded. Great work!
נועם לאון Than You Noam Leon (if I write well)!
Wow! Wow! You have taken probably my all-time favourite Genesis song and your piano transcript for Steve Hackett's soaring guitar and Peter Gabriel's amazing vocals and still made that little shiver go down my spine. You are simply a brilliant pianist and musician to do this. So very good. Thank you.
I'm a musician & been a Tony Banks follower for 35yrs & not heard anything as exquisite as this. Pure genius my friend.
Mamma mia, che meraviglia...
From Argentina... Simplemente MARAVILLOSO!!!
Absolutely wonderful, Massimo - it just goes to show what a remarkable composer Tony Banks is and what a great interpreter of his music you are.
This is epically beautiful, an incredible tribute to Genesis, their unparalleled talents and originality of their music
Heard this performed live by the great Canadian band 'The Musical Box' three nights ago. Given the faithfulness of their performance and this, I'm not sure which I prefer.
IMPRESSIVE IMPROVISATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............i am speechless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umas das melhores adaptações e interpretações que já ouvi desta obra de génio dos Genesis. Obrigado Massimo Bucci por ajudar a manter a música dos Genesis viva e imortal.
He rides majestic past homes of men, who care not or gaze with joy.
You were blessed by the Lord with such GREAT talent. I am sure you practiced for hours, days, weeks, months and years to be this good! How do you play such a complicated piece without the sheet music in front of you?? All from MEMORY? OMG, just memory? This is one of my top 3 Genesis Classics and YOU PLAY IT PERFECTLY !!! Bless you my friend ! Thank YOU....
Other 3?
Bobby noodles is THE best name ever 🥰
Truly magnificent performance! I really appreciate you posting this. The only thing that would make this better is to have Steve doing his solo along with you :)
What a great reminder of Tony's amazing writing and playing skills!
I didn't expect this almost symphonic piece to work on piano only-but it really does!
Im a Mexican, you´re great. Bravo, applause and my recognition of your great talent, sensibility and musical ear
Thank you very much, Laraceci ❤️
SEI UN GRANDISSIMO!!! Sono un grande fan dei genesis e tu li esegui alla perfezione! Ci vorrebbero piu video su youtube così interessanti e stimolanti! Purtroppo viviamo in un'epoca dove la bravura e la cultura sono sottovalutati e mortificati. Continua cosi! hai tutto il mio appoggio e il mio "like" :)-
taraxxxx Grazie!:-)
Bravissimo
Beautiful interpretation & performance.
Genesis is in your hands and in your heart. I see.
Congrats and thanks.
Love & respect from Argentina
