  • Featuring:
    Some Day the Dream Will End - Accompanying the party's journey through the ruins of Zanarkand.
    Hymn of the Fayth; Spira - Possibly my favourite of the hymns for its reharmonisation.
    To the End of the Abyss - I remember not having encountered these types of harmonies in music before, when I played the game for the first time. Even today the soundtrack affects my own style somewhat.

    Your arrangements have so much flavour and power to them, they are faithful to the original but the way you translate the various melodies into piano music sound so unique and effective!
    Also the transition from one piece to another is always refined and never too abrupt nor dragged out.
    Always GREAT news to see your vids in the subscriptions feed, I hope to see lots more in the future!
    Take care in this mess of time we're living in!

      Thank you, Joanna! I'm nowhere near Leon's league but I'm glad you enjoyed my own efforts. All the best to you in Poland.

    This is honestly amazing. I have been listening to you play since you started posting here. I cannot wait for your rendition of the following themes: Cloister of Trials and Seymour's Battle Theme (Seymour Omnis, inside Sin). Again, keep up the great work!

    Hi Slow Pianist. Thanks for making this great arrangement.
    How are you and what did you have for breakfast today?

      I'm well, thank you. I'm happy because today I finished a composition that I found difficult to write but managed to push through and get it done anyway. It's for a competition. I could probably improve it but the deadline is soon and I'm just happy to have finished the thing.
      I had pain au chocolat, satsumas and coffee, which is what I usually have at the moment.

      I remember deciding not to do that one, but I can't remember why.
      Isn't it in the official piano collections already, and as a fairly faithful version?

    Your arrangements are so good. How long does each part take on average?

    • @TheSlowPianist
      @TheSlowPianist  3 роки тому +8

      The slowest bit is transcribing the original track, which consists of me sitting with headphones on, with a pencil and music paper, writing down everything I hear. The amount of time it takes depends on the complexity of the music and how many instruments are playing, but overall it takes a number of hours spread over multiple sessions.
      Then I adapt what I have for piano, the priorities being:
      Sounding like the original, or having the same essential musical ingredients
      Being well-written for the piano
      Having the same emotional impact as the original, or as close as I can manage
      I can do this quite quickly, though again it depends on how well the track is already suited to pianistic rendition. I may have to find alternative solutions to some passages. Anything from ten minutes to an hour or two per track.
      Then I notate it on a computer and print it - this is a fairly quick process and can be done in the evening when I'm tired, as it requires little decision making.
      Practising / learning to play the piece - very quick; it's where I'm benefitting from my area of most experience and natural ability.
