  • For my final Master's recital at New England Conservatory, I decided to play a few of my arrangements that I made inspired by my videos. JVKE's Golden Hour has a special place in my heart, and I decided to make a cello and piano arrangement. Special thanks to Andrew Li for playing Golden Hour with me! Seriously, the piano part is about 10x harder than the cello part haha

    I am surprised the pianist only made a single mistake given how consistently intense the piano portion of the arrangement is. Very impressive.

      ayy, I'm not the only one that noticed it. I don't play piano but I enjoy listening to the piano; especially, if the cello and the piano are together. Out of all the instruments to play with the piano, the cello is the best one since it complements the piano so beautifully. I have not yet seen another instrument complement a piano as magnificent as the cello.

We do not just live one. And ones who do not know are how do you say indoctrinated to lies.

I can't perceive it the same way educated and experienced musicians can but whatever I do perceive with my brain this is very easy and pleasant to listen to, all the details are pretty, it's all so beautifully woven in together. I have no idea what exactly you arranged and which piece you took from to put this together but whatever you did it was in good taste. Thank you for sharing.

      You don’t have to be classically trained to appreciate beauty! Don’t EVER allow yourself to feel excluded from any art form. If you feel something, if it resonates then you get it.
      Admire importantly, you don’t have to get a lot of it, but just taking a chance and stepping out of your comfort zone to explore and experience something new can be a genuine gift in and of itself.
      There’s so much beauty in this world, it belongs to all of us and no one at once.
      It’s yours for the taking 🙏🏻

    • @Kuroth_
      @Kuroth_ Рік тому +7

      The absolute beauty of music is that you don't have to be able to articulate WHY music is good. If you have the ear for it, it's simply apparent when something IS good. Articulating it can be nice, but appreciation is more important. I'm so glad you can appreciate and understand WHEN music is good, because music has a direct connection to the human soul on a level that, while it CAN be analyzed and articulated, it absolutely isn't necessary to feel fulfilled in simply listening.

    It's these kinds of arrangements that really give you an idea of what the cello's strong advantage is compared to most stringed instruments; it replicates the range of the human voice. Having a song like Golden Hour where you can swap the vocals for the cello, it also sings.

    This performance doesn't need any autotune or editing, just music in its purist form. This has genuinely reawakened my appreciation for music. Thank you very much, I enjoyed every second of this performance thoroughly. ❤
