I didn't think I liked this at first, but it's quite literally 'haunting'. Like, I can just be going about my day and it all of a sudden floats into my head and gives me a little nudge of like _'Hey, remember me? I exist, and I'm kinda awesome...'_ and then I have to come back and listen again. Some of those harmonies and progressions are stunning, and his touch and control is perfect - which I think is the hardest part of playing this piece. Love it.... despite the harassment...
@@anansiackhasone3428 as he said in another video (and as I can confirm from practicing this song for 10 months) the beginning (big and fast jumps in left hand) is much harder than the triplets.
@@ilianos indeed, it sounds all soft and smooth but is actually nightmarish to practice, maintain the ostinato in right hand while leaping back and forth between comping and melody in the left hand is extremely difficult, have to use metronome to work on the passage, make me wonder how long it took for him to arrange this piece.
How do you record these intricate pieces, passages without making a single mistake or slipped note? Do you just record straight off on one take? The first time you get it 100 per cent correct? Your cinematic book is a must have!
Sometimes I get it in one take and other times I have to do it a bunch before I nail it. I usually write arrangements to challenge myself technically and musically so they aren't usually easy for me to play. To me that's the fun of it. Keep pushing myself beyond what I think is possible. Thanks for the comment!
@@JacobKollerMusic This is obviously a challenge for anyone to learn. Cateen could probably nail it rather quickly. While I believe the arrangement is very well done, I honestly prefer a simpler style of playing that emphasizes harmonic creativity. That said, Chopin is very pleased with your work.
i have seen this video probably 100 times over two years now and it just never gets old. your arrangements are always so stunning. thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world.
Same here (~100 times) but in probably 2 months cause I don't want to give up learning this beautiful peace. Not to mention that I need to watch this several times in a row although I've bought the sheet music :-D
Im learning this moon river now. The hard part for me is to bring out the top notes in the left hand while keeping all other notes softer. Need practice my finger strength control.
Wonderful arrangement. I will challenge myself to learn it now... I'm not a jazz player but I am a fan of your style and creativity. Thank you for sharing !!
loooove this!! in the beginning when i realized the melody was on the top note of the left hand- i didnt expect that. the accompanying twinkly right hand just adds such a nice calming vibe to it as well
I really appreciate your thinking behind this arrangement. The triplets at 2:42 and on are nicely put to support the culmination. Requires some decent pianistic skills to keep the soft touch when jumping. Overall, this is great and I've been coming back to listen this for a few dozen times already :-) Best of luck!
Just bought your Cinematic Piano Adventure and Christmas Café books yesterday. Can't wait till they arrive! You're such a great arranger and pianist. Keep it going man!
Extraordinary, Jacob!!! I really LOVE your arrangements: they are so original, full of fantasy and full of beautiful creativity!!! You are so talented!!! Where could I buy your sheet music? I'd love to have the opportunity to study them!! THANK YOU
Wow I like your way of interpeting this music in maybe both classical and jazzy way. After I finish my chopin's etudes practice, I would like to play some eminemt song just like this piece. Appreciate your new masterpiece.
Wonderful harmonies, clear structure, a beautiful arrangement with a touch that is your very own. For me personally, however, a bit too "flustered" (too much happening). But perhaps I'm just a sucker for slow flowing music. Again, great job.
I know I am not the only one who expected to see Jacob Collier's arrangement for Moon River before watching the video.
Yeah their names are strikingly similar, then I noticed when this video was published
Same. But was pleasantly surprised to hear this incredible arrangement.
@@Pegaseus low key I got happy thinking it was LOL
Magnifique
Very hard
Bravo
World class musician
Thanks Mark!
He is King 🤴 of pianist.👌👏👍🎹🎹❣️💕🙎🏻

That left hand triplet.... It was just pure art, heartfelt progression..
Shinjin Lee thank you so much!
인정합니다... 저런게 상업성 따위는 띄지 않는 순수 예술이죠.
It’s a honest nightmare as in it’s hard to play

Wonderful arranging and playing. Your voicing and the fidelity make this recording crystal clear and a pleasure to listen to. Thx for sharing!
普段さりげなく聴いている「ティーファニーで朝食を」のムーンリバーがジェイコブさんの腕にかかると、夜空の星屑がキラキラと輝きを放ちながらまるで泣いたり笑ったり悲しんだり怒ったりと一つ一つの表情を魅せてくれているようなファンタジーの世界に誘ってくれます💝いつも素晴らしい演奏に感謝デス👍これからもご活躍祈ってます😊
The best arrangement of Moon River. I’m feeling nostalgic with this rendition.

thank you very much for your answers, love this magical intricate arrangement and performance.
Wooowww!!!!!! Two amazing pianists!!!!
I love you both!!!!

This is the best beautifully intricate version of Moon River I've ever heard in my total life. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INCREDIBLE WORK.
오현준 thank you for watching! 😃
You should listen to Jacob Collier's version. Jacob Collier and Jacob Koller both made wonderful versions of Moon River. Interesting
i have seen this video probably 100 times over two years now and it just never gets old. your arrangements are always so stunning. thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world.

I've been watching since I was pregnant. Now my baby's 2 and still watching it with my baby
Still one of my favorite arrangements ever, the solo then into the left hand triplets under the melody is just amazing 👏
my favorite part :-)
This is the greatest arrangement of Moon River I've ever heard. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world.
The left hand voicing and the camera angle with the sheet note, love this!
It is a blessing to my ears hearing your arrangement.
It's amazing how you can make technically demanding yet harmonic piano arrangements! Thank you for sharing good music!
CydiaShun thank you so much!
That is something special…wonderful.
What a fantastic Moon River, the most incredible piano arrangement that i,ve ever listened...
Interesting how this is in 4 4 time signature (when it is originally in 3 4), it adds a lot
Tiny Tim Tam bruh I FORGOT
Absolutely the most beautiful rendition of Moon River for piano I have ever heard. Thanks for that Jacob.
素晴らしい❣️😍
キラキラと月の光に照らされ、ゆったりした美しい河の流れの情景が、浮かんできます。。。コロナで、気持ちが沈んでいたところに、コーラーさんの素晴らしい演奏に、心が洗われました。。。コーラーさん❤️ありがとうございます💕💕💕
I love your all pieces, BUT I LIKE THIS ONE THE MOST!
I have to say - this is amazing, especially having the melody embedded amongst a host of other sparkling notes in the LH.
Ernest Wong thank you so much!
Jacob Koller and Jacob Collier need to make a Moon River arrangement together and blow every pianist and vocalists’ minds!
Sir, you are amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this and being such an inspiration to many!!!
2:41 has me in chills. Outstanding left hand work.
This is AMAZING.. love at first hearing
Definitely my favorite arrangement of this piece! ☺️
Fantastica, meravigliosa, commovente, viscerale. Posso ascoltarla per ore senza stancarmi. Superlativo Jacob Koller.
Bei dem Stück ist nichts anders zu sagen als Perfekt. Genial. Henry Mancini wäre begeistert. Wir sind es auch!!. Dagmar und Rafael
Beautiful arranging and playing!
This is one of the best pieces ever composed and you were able to interpret it in a wonderful way adding originality and FUN!
THanks for the awesome comment!
ジェイコブさんのジャズメロディは心が癒されます😆💕✨私の好きなmoonriverが心地良く癒されます😍ありがとうございます😍

WOW - that was brilliant! Best interpretation I've heard!
Listening in 2022. Totlatly love your arrangement. Incredible and beautiful. Start partying and it’s rally hard
Im learning this moon river now. The hard part for me is to bring out the top notes in the left hand while keeping all other notes softer. Need practice my finger strength control.
I absolutely love this arrangement! It also gives me la cathedrale engloutie (Debussy) vibes at certain points
Such a master piece... took me about 10 months to learn and I'm still not playing it without at least a handfull of mistakes :-D
Wonderful arrangement. I will challenge myself to learn it now... I'm not a jazz player but I am a fan of your style and creativity. Thank you for sharing !!
you're the most inspiring, original pianist I know! I get so excited everytime you post
So nice to hear that! Thanks for watching...

You amaze me so much, by far my favourite version of this song I've ever heard, incredible 💗

I've listened to many different arrangements, but I like the Moon River the best. It was great.
Sun SmILe thanks so much!
Beyond words…such incredible talent !
Glad to see both Jacob Collier and Jacob Koller both covered the song
loooove this!! in the beginning when i realized the melody was on the top note of the left hand- i didnt expect that. the accompanying twinkly right hand just adds such a nice calming vibe to it as well
MY GOD. THIS IS AMAZING!!

It feels like I should be paying to listen to this masterpiece.
Shasta Kansakar thank you!
just beautiful
Gary Lee thank you!
Wonderful harmonies, clear structure, a beautiful arrangement with a touch that is your very own. For me personally, however, a bit too "flustered" (too much happening). But perhaps I'm just a sucker for slow flowing music. Again, great job.
Mason Starling thanks for the comment
Great arrangement!
