    In this video I perform 12 of my original pieces from my first album: MusicalStories
    Listen on Spotify: spoti.fi/35AXxV7
    Sheet Music: bit.ly/MusicalStoriesSM
    It took me 10 goshdarn years to record this album the way I wanted it - because for many years, my piano skills and conditions were simply not at the level that I wanted it. I have been such a perfectionist about this album that it led to countless re-recordings, every time where I was always dissatisfied. But now I'm releasing it finally, this is the official studio version of my first piano album, MUSICALSTORIES.

      There were quite a few staccato notes that were improperly doubled up or off beat but it’s not a huge deal. Noticeable in the first track mostly. Also noticed a random off-key chord in track 4, not sure if it was composed that way or just a misplaced hand.
      Track 5 was just fucking beautiful and perfectly executed though

    As My Horses "Gallop" to try and attend Lionel's Premiere, I see a "Waltz of the rising star" a once in 300 year sight! My heart Feeling "Fires of a Revolution", I have "Courage" that I will attend Lionel's Premiere no matter how frightening or scary it will be because he is special and really good at playing piano... As I traveled past the "Water Flower" area , I knew I were not going to even think about going in there. It would be classified as a "Pachelbel's Nightmare." I felt as if all of my hope was drained out of me, what I need is a surge of "Vengence", The "Colours of the soul" would bring me back and My gut will force me to go there, just for Lionel. There was no hope... All was lost it was a "Saudade" Moment, I felt like I could do nothing... I am useless, I surrendered myself to the ground and my eyes cried like "Rolling Thunder",
    My soul was a "Black Star". I was "Too Late"...

    story time : I used to play piano. I love piano and played for 5 years. My grandpa was my biggest supporter and always told me to never quit because i had a talent that many people wanted, when in reality i was nothing out of the ordinary. Life got busy, my granpda got cancer for the 3rd time and after fighting it for almost a year he passed. I dropped out of piano and sold my piano and left it to rot. My love for piano never left, only my drive to play and my passion for lessons, which at the time i felt were unnessacary. As i sit here listening to a true master of an instrument i think back to the times when my grandpa could come over and make me play piano for him and its only now that i realize when my grandpa passed, i not only lost the most supportive person in my life, my best friend, and someone i would trade the world for, but i also lost a part of me that i truly miss as well: piano. I wish now that i had listened to the words of my grandpa, he always knew what was right and i love and miss him for it. sorry for the rant yall but this all just hit me and thought id share :)
    edit: just got to song 9, Saudade! crazy how that kinda matched up.

    Then I get to reading comments and realize your also telling the stories in fine print. I dont see to good trying to read fine print and thought it was just odd writing or advertising. Lol. Im to lost in the music itself to read just as it is and sooooo in love with your music and piano skills. Love just watching you play and all the story is soooo BONUS to but music itself IS A STORY. I feel VERY BLESSED jusr HEARING such EXTRAORDINARY TALENT and VERY HAPPY that YOU are IN MY WORLD at this MOST JOYOUS TIME. It's been a REAL PLEASURE and a REAL JOY to get to witness such GREAT TALENT and FOR ALL the WORLD TO even.. You are an inspiration for ALL of mankind, and your creativity in preparing and presenting your music is just AMAZING... SO MUCH MORE than just piano music without lyrics but literal music telling a story without words or song but then here your telling the story the music is telling in the videos... YOU ARE A GEM, I had no clue you had so much music out there until pretty recently and ya can't help but get HOOKED on listening to it and watching you. Your very funny also which makes it even MORE FUN to watch and listen to you... Keep it up...
    As I said, there is only ONE Beethoven and I'd know him anywhere because he cant keep his hands off the piano anywhere he goes and rolls across it like thunder ever creating and ever evolving all the time... Thank you sweet child, your a JOY to MY HEART and SOUL... WE ARE ONE...

    Dear Lionel, I never heard anything like this in my entire life. It seems like you consist of music entirely. Every piece is extremely well set and holds so much emotion. I'm really grateful for your music. It helped me push through the most difficult times in my life. I was diagnosed with cancer, just 2 month before my 12 yo son followed me with the same diagnosis. We fought together for the last couple of years. Your music was always there with us- in ICU, chemo treatments, radiation... It helped us to ease our minds, to keep focused on our goal. You really had great impact on us. If I could ever make a wish, it would be your version of "Erin McCarley - Into The Fire". We'd be very honored :). THANK YOU for your music!

You have a wonderful mind and it is like you were born to play the piano. Even during the break you had I still had urges to return to watching your videos multiple times not only because of how incredibly talented and enjoyable they are, but to give me inspiration for my own work! Please keep doing what you are doing, you are changing peoples lives.

    WOW! This is just amazing. Found you just half an hour ago or so. I dont listen to piano or classic music normally because I never found sth that really got me or at least not much. THIS is exactly it!! piano music in perfection for me! Its catchy and exciting and really nice to drift away. All I want from piano music. And with these explanations of you goosebumps for sure!
    You and your channel are CLEARLY underrated!!!
    Love it :) Greetings from Germany

    I think I've been a fan for about a decade, so I can say with some confidence I'm going to be hooked on these new performances for many years to come. I'll never get tired of the old classics being bashed out on a wobbly keyboard in all the glory of 240p resolution, but the production quality really is exceptional in this video. Wow!

    You've written a beautiful album. To me this is worth just as much as the works of composers like Chopin and Liszt. It may be a different genre, but you're a top tier composer in this genre. You compose and play from your heart. I think that is the most beautiful thing there is. Take care buddy, we love you❤.

    that’s a really long time to make an album. certainly seems like a whole lot of work went into it too! i just listened to the whole thing and it was really awesome. your music always helps me imagine and focus, so it’s really nice to have a album to replay now. great work, and thanks so much!

  • @vampy1985
    @vampy1985 3 роки тому +5

    A beautiful selection of pieces. I also like the title of the album very much.
    Your comments in each clip give the songs that final touch of emotion that is typical of you. That's your unique feature. ;) I love that.
    I'm glad you chose "Too Late" for the last track.
    All in all, I think everything fits together perfectly here. Thanks for your hard work.
    PS: I am beyond happy that "Pachelbel's Nightmare" is also included. ^^

    I've had a hell of a week, and this totally changed my friday night. it brought me a sense of calm and focus I have not had in a very long time.
    focus is a problem since i acquired brain lesions from an attack of multiple sclerosis, I generally never play music twice as the repetition is overwhelmingly distracting - this has made the first entry on my repeat list in over 15 years.
    I could only ever hope to be this skilled on a keyboard.

    I'm glad you've recorded it again! I hope you'll make this one available for purchase too! I'm excited to hear all the little differences between the different recordings.
    EDIT:
    New songs new songs :D
    I think they're new anyway! Same number of 'em as the first one from 2016, but vastly unfamiliar. Very excited. You're music is like no other. It's truly beautiful, thank you.

    It's really cathartic to see what you've accomplished. I feel flickers of this when I play, but I wasn't ever able to persist for long enough to realize any sort of complete vision. I had a piano teacher who talked about "never, will I ever" songs, and how it feels to play them, have a new "never will I ever." I look forward to seeing you realize your "never will I evers" as you grow as an artist.
