    This is the most difficult Animenz piece I’ve recorded on my Yamaha N1X.
    Out of 5 parts, I wonder if anybody listened to more than 3.

    People overlook how insane this Animenz arrangement is, both from a musicality and technicality standpoint. The way he weaves together, decorates, and innovates upon the soundtrack themes is unmatched. "Most advanced level of piano arrangement" indeed! I can't imagine what an endeavor recording this was, and have utmost respect for you pulling it off regardless of the understandable mistakes

      This is the kinda piece for my younger self. Compared to when I was 17/18, my stamina is now halved in my 40s. For the recording, I played continuously for like 3-4 hours, got maybe 3-4 potential takes. Picked this one where the mistakes are not from more important spots. People have no idea how difficult it is to record this piece in full. I didn’t want to just record each part separately.

      Part 3 drove me insane. Have a couple of AoT’s next to balance things out. I have a feeling you aim to finish all of Animenz’s AoT.

    Wow. This is so magnificent I don't even know where to start. Like it's even amazing at 4:01 [like u mentioned in the description] that u can look up lmao. I would be sweating hard😅 good work!

      This is what truly difficult looks like. Most pieces, if I spend enough time, I can eventually polish close to perfection. (You probably noticed I currently do quantity over quality). Part 3 (battle) is just way too difficult to polish. I normally do the finale much better. But I had to settle with a take where Part 3 was not completely messed up.

    Great performance! I’m already listening the second time as I type. It’s a pleasure to listen and watch.
    This arrangement is amazing. The changes in difficulty and melodies throughout the song remind me of something Franz Listz would write.
    What would you say are the hardest parts?

    • @RichardYangPiano
      @RichardYangPiano  4 місяці тому +2

      4:01 was impossible. That’s the fastest octaves in a very not jump-friendly key I’ve ever attempted. And the LH run before that is probably the most awkward one I’ve ever played so far. And before that, the repeated notes, this was difficult only because the N1X keys are so heavy.

    Hi Richard! How much time did this piece take for you?
    Me personally I don't think it's too difficult but it's a little bit long.

    • @RichardYangPiano
      @RichardYangPiano  3 місяці тому

      Oops!! I thought I was reading comment on Sasageyo released today. This took over a month. Maybe less than 2. This is extremely difficult. Some sections are more difficult than Unravel, but it’s not as difficult “throughout”. That’s why I ranked this behind Unravel on overall difficulty. If we consider the length of the piece, this was a nightmare to polish and get through the whole thing in one piece.

      @@lightbulbDDP Being relaxed and being soft are two different things. For example, try to play repeated octaves. If you’re using your wrist movement to play, you’re good. Use the other hand to feel your forearm. If it’s too stiff, you’re not relaxed. Because when you use your wrist for motion, your forearm should stay pretty loose.
