Final Fantasy: Prelude (Piano Etude)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июл 2019
- Here's an absolutely legendary video game track. This tracks plays at the title screen of every Final Fantasy game and has come to represent the series throughout the years. I hope you enjoy my virtuosic take on this timeless tune.

This is an Impromptu round of VERSUS, Where I got head to head against another Pianist to see whose arrangement reigns supreme.

=======(The Details)=======
This track reminds me of the Great Fairy Fountain theme from the Legend of Zelda. They both consist of arpeggio figures following a choral-like chord progression and both themes play on the menu screens (usually the save file screen for Zelda). I can't really make up my mind on which I like more.
Performance wise, this is one of my trickier arrangements. The main challenges being the arpeggios and particularly the hand crossings/playing in a manner that the hands don't get in each other's way.
This is actually an old arrangement from the 2nd round of VERSUS years ago. Back then I was up against Zebeldarebel (see his video here: • Final Fantasy Prelude ... ) and now I'm up against Jonathan Morris. You be the judge and let us know who 'won' in the comments.
Your Pianist,
Erik C.
P.S. Performer's note: I half-miss the C-octave at the end of the scale run towards the end of the arrangement. I actually had a cleaner take but went with this because of the phrasing in the calmer sections went really well in this take. Notes aren't everything inho. Let me know your thoughts on the slip. I'll include the other take on my patreon.

Erik C. - the master of arpeggios. Amazing arrangement, love how the backing voice moves above and below the melody line!
MrBromaba thx man. That’s the trickiest part of this piece tbh.
I hate arpeggios. I play the sax. They suck. This song nice tho I hate performing them
Beautiful arrangement and beautiful playing, Erik! Very nicely done!!
Sheet Music Boss thx. I definitely spent some extra time on this one.

OMG what a legendary cross between two great pianists, I have been a subscriber to both for a long time and they inspired me, I was fascinated by your cover and I recommended it to my friends, I hope one day I can play arpeggios on piano as well as you do! ❤❤
1:26 - 1:38 are one of the best phrases I have ever witnessed. THIS is composing! There ar5e absolute stunning similarities to 3rd movement of the Second Piano Concert by Rachmaninoff
Dedera Lp I’m flattered by the comparison!
I admit it, I teared up.
Never have been too familiar with Final Fantasy, but this is beautiful man. Great as always dude, love the arpeggios! 🔥
Arpeggios ftw
@@ErikCPianoman Bro you are like the All Might of piano players. Xd I stopped practicing for a while (because im dumb) and boy that was the worst thing i could have ever done.
Is this a short name ? It’s never too late to pick it up again.
Here's a virtuosic take on the classic Final Fantasy Prelude. Also be sure to check out my opponent's version of the theme for this round of the VERSUS series: ruclips.net/video/spmMDqxgL_k/видео.html

@@patrickwhatsittoyou8059 or maybe hyrule field or midnas lament from twilight princess?
Erik C 'Piano Man' Can you please play magic man - paris
I was absolutely moved by this rendition. But I can't believe you haven't done "To Zanarkand" on your channel yet! Just found you through suggestions on front page and I know I'm about to spend probably a couple hours listening. Would love it if you did "To Zanarkand" sometime soon! :D
Please do NieR Automata
Your buildup in this arrangement is epic, I always loved how you pace it. Great job as usual! :)
Jonathan Morris thx man. I had more time than usual to work and rework this arrangement before recording.
1:30 to 1:45 is a masterpiece, i'm sure the 7 notes might have been a mistake but thats the thing that makes it enchanting.
Right you are. I hit a few extra unintended notes in that chord.
Honestly, this brought a tear to my eye. I've been listening to this song for decades and haven't quite realized it till now. A flood of precious beautiful memories swept over me; I thank you for playing this so passionately.
Whew does this bring back memories! 🫡
Your arrangements are just brilliant man keep it up! Wow
The nostalgia I have for this song, and how beautiful your rendition of it, has me at work, fighting back tears (of joy) woof. Good job!
As someone who has always struggled with music theory and piano, I cannot express just how much people like you have inspired me to keep going.
I'm currently learning this arrangement, it is so beautiful
So beautiful… and emotional 🥲 I love your videos! ❤❤❤
Your technique is impressive (and inspiring)! The emotion with which you play is stunning! Thank you for sharing! 🎼🎶🎵❤️❤️❤️
Powerful. Magnificent. Nostalgic. You nailed this piece and thank you for so much for sharing. This moved me.
You, crazy...
It's summer and I'm crying all my tears out, do you want me to get dehydrated ?
I love your work, it's a pleasure to listen !
Easily my favourite pianist on RUclips, your covers are always so interesting! Great job :D
every time i listen to one of your covers i wish that it never ends
Great playing! I love the visuals.
Absolutely wonderful, it gave me goosebumps!
I usually don't get super personal in the comments but I gotta be honest, you've done something that no one else has ever done for me. This song reminds me so much of my dad who I barely get to see anynore due to family stuff and it's nice to be reminded of him, even if he wasn't the best at his job as a parent. He was the first person to teach me that being a nerd is great and fun. He taught me about Final Fantasy (introducing me to American 4 first), MtG, and how not to be a sore loser. Although Catan brings out the worst in me because GODDAMMIT DON'T BLOCK MY WOOD PORTS WHEN I CONTROL ALL THE WOOD! Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for making me feel something I haven't felt in a while 👌
Yes, man. Yes.
Okay, I've watched and enjoyed all of the videos that have been recommended to me. I'll subscribe😅
Holy... This is absolutely wonderful!
I love this versus series great to see different point of view and interpretation of a piece :D
Craftmarne I couldn’t agree more.
this actually reminded me of my old copy of final fantasy 1 and 2 sitting in the corner... Guess I'll go and play them, and think about this beautiful piece of music that you made here
This was absolutely amazing!
Beautifully done!
I get chills just hearing this song... but to watch it being played so skillfully is truly breathtaking
Awesome, man. Thanks
BRAVO!!!! Tbh made me cry Amazing!
Beautiful! I felt like I was 8 again and playing for the first time...
GREAT JOB!
Beautiful man
Good lord ! Amazing I like that tune takes me back to my childhood and instantly I’m daydreaming
masterpiece, really relaxing
this is the best iv'e ever heard this song. Incredible job Mr "piano man"
Beautiful arrangement!
Love this!
I could watch this all day
beautiful
너무 아름다워서 마음이 아리네요.. 추운 겨울.. 나에게 소중한 음악을 들려줘서 감사합니다..
I'm crying while listening to this fantastic song.
beautiful.
Man. This would make a great warmup!
Wow. Thank you.
amazing!
The best!!!!!! I love you
Wauw.. Wont be playing this myself anytime soon 💕
Amazing!!
I never heard of this piece before and never played any Final Fantasy games before and this cover still makes me emotional.
SaY mY nAmE that’s what I like to hear. I always try to make the music stand on its own regardless if you’re familiar with the source material.
Just Epic!
Yeah, so just teared up listening to this.
This song to!? Why do I always cry to the soft songs of games that my amazing parents showed me. I love both of you mom and dad
That was incredible
whoever is disliking your video is just a troll because all your videos have legit like 1 dislike 😂😂 nah but this is outstanding with the smoothest hand transitions 😍 keep it up piano man 💕
Griffin Winans idk it could be one of the many mortal enemies I’ve made playing the piano 😂
Erik C 'Piano Man' i think he/she’s just jelly of your beautiful arrangements and piano playing ability
This is just fuckin awesome
Wonderful ;)
This. Is. Amazing.
Absolutely amazing song beautiful some may say or... almost something all would.
very mature play and nice intepretation. Best Regards, Piano Specialist Yamaha Music Indonesia
You know me, I'm crazy about anything Final Fantasy music related and this is no exception! Love you intertwined the melody and arpeggio 'counter-melody', I might end up [stealing] *ahem cough cough* I mean trying out some of the techniques you used in this vid >_>
DS Music thx man. Go ahead. I’ve definitely taken inspiration from you’re arrangements before.
綺麗..🥺✨
I'm speechless... Uh... Um... Wow.
Incredible...
Amazing
Just watching how your fingers roll, how you lead to the next upcoming notes with your middle finger so you cut the time you get there in half, and how you will punch out an arpeggio leading into a syncopation. This honestly inspires me to make music.
bravo!
I think I've watched this at least a hundred times now... it would be an interesting statistic personally to have knowledge of lol
Whenever life gets tough I go back to this song because it is just so happy and reminds me life is a adventure enjoy it 🙂
Also subbed. And told all my friends
Love it. Play it at .75x
Man that quality lmao !!! You’re breathtaking !!!
Craftmarne Keanu Reeves: No, you’re Breathtaking.
@@ErikCPianoman （＾∀＾）
TAKES ME BACK TO 2009 WHEN I PLAYED DISSIDA FINAL FANTASY
Unreal. Makes me wanna quit the piano😂. Love the video
Good job on this piece Erik.I think you may have won this one.👍
Looking forward for the sheets!
Its magic
I'm a simple man. I see etude, I click.
Wow.
Wow😱
That was impressive
Reminds me of when I’d leave my PSP plugged in with the Final Fantasy start screen on just so i could fall asleep to the music.. simpler times
Ahh the nostalgia
Mr.Meeseeks Piano the nostalgia is strong in this one
HOLY SHIT !
You have my vote
👍
More Final Fantasy plz!!
How is this humanly possible
I have been purified

There's parts towards the end that remind me so much of the Lauras Theme from Twin Peaks
No puedo dejar de pensar que esto es muy exagerado, pero me encanta
i mean WOW
❤❤❤
