I think this is great, not only because of the great arrangement and great performance, but also because it is still playable (unlike many piano roll tutorials where they don't even show the hands, because many times we would need more then 2 hands to play them :))
ScubDomino My aim is not really to call out people who don't write playable piano music, in my view it is not calling out, it's simply just pointing out, which is different, and actually a compliment to this videoupllader/pianocomposer, because it just adds extra valie to a piano piece to a pianist if it's actually playable, no? :) To a listener who doesn't really want to play the piano but just wants to listen to piano music, the answer is probably different, because he cares only about the audio/composition, but doesn't care about if it's playable or not because he is not planning to learn it on the piano and not planning to listen to it on a live concert, he simply wants to listen to a not-playable but still potentially beautiful piano piece. But some of the not-playable piano pieces can be more beautiful/interesting/etc, but it's also a question of taste. I found some unplayable pianopieces in the past and I really liked some of them but I didn't liked the fact that I couldn't play them alone, some of them is still unplayable as a 4-hand piece for 2 pianists, and some of the piano roll piano pieces are literally impossible to play because they aim to be that way, because it's part of the fun, writing ridiculous unplayable but cool sounding piano pieces are pretty fun in my opinion :) it's just a shame that they are never going to get performed live in a concert in their original form with the original instrumentation.
Sarah Ibrahim I know that it's impossible to hold that chord with the hand AND play those higher melody with just 1 hand, but you can create a very similar sound with pedal, maybe he simply just forgot to draw short MIDI notes for that chord and drawing sustain pedal automation for it instead.
Now that I've seen someone do the fast parts irl, I am convinced that this song is possible to play in its complete form with two pianos and two players.
This video is actually edited so that all the notes are exactly right, in order for it to sound the best! But thank you, I'll see what I can do - xi is definitely both challenging and time consuming; I'm working on covers by some other artists that I hope you'll like too!
Thanks! I had worked on this arrangement a few years ago, then picked it up again for a couple months. Actually, even at this point I couldn't play it fully, I had to edit it to get to this standard :)
I recorded the MIDI in Cubase (with a piano VST), and the visualiser is a screen recording from Synthesia. Although I think I might have been able to find an online piano supporting the full range in the past, if you have a MIDI keyboard with all 88 keys.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, and yep I made this arrangement to be possible for one person :)

With all the good parts, nice take!
1:06 this part is the bets 😢
Absolutely beautiful piece, and beautifully performed.
OMG 1:42 THIS PART!!! IT GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!
1:03 GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS AHHHH
xi- ascension to hvdmS
Please do full version of this. This is so splendid.

after this song : i love chromatic scales and arpeggios!
i’d go bald to be this great at piano
im basically bald after my buzz cut and i dont think im able to play 1 part of this song
@@probablysomeone1111 consider doing 100 pushups, situps and squats as well
@@anartist8087 bulking season
@@probablysomeone1111 oh and turn off your ac forever
Whoaaaaaa this is so beautifully played!!
Wait, Kroytz? Love ur maps
KUROITZU
I couldn't imagine a one handed version of this or even someone playing it. Wow!
I'm definitely not gonna try that... Scary!
Thats gonna be in the tutorial on how do ascend to heaven
That's because you don't know EK yet...
This is just magnificent. Arpeggios are especially cool
dam you nailed those runs! Very nice cover, would like to to see more Xi in the future like everyone else. Just do what you wanna do king!

Absolute masterpiece
I honestly thought that this was not possible. Amazing.
1:03 🔥
we're ascending to the heaven with this bang 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Super underrated. Love it!
finally, a playable piece :)
Just amazing!
string god! Love this Master piece from osu! And literally didn't notice this is an Xi! Love it so much....
His Finger steam is crazyy
yoooooo 1:43 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is really really good
Pls make a full version of this!!
holy fuck you nailed the right hand
You are so skilled
I want more of these
Needs more views, nice job
This song makes me tear up.Goddamn that was beatiful ;(
Insane playing man good job
killed it
you crazy and so ducking talented
amazing
nice FC dude
I wish I was born with authistic toplay this piece easily
you should try blue zenith next
Dude how long have u been playing you’re actually crazy I aspire to be like u
1:43 I can only do this at 80 bpm max, this is 200 🫠
I think this will be better arranged as a Piano-violin duet.
godly
you are so cracked
That is just beautiful and impressive. How much time did it take to practice that ?
Thanks! I had worked on this arrangement a few years ago, then picked it up again for a couple months. Actually, even at this point I couldn't play it fully, I had to edit it to get to this standard :)
@@rev3rsor That looks amazing
DT when?
Cool song
I wanted to learn pianooo
i love u sirrr
I wish I could play the piano, I want to make music like this
I imagine the hardest part of playing piano is separating and focusing on the actions of both hands. Truly incredible
@@carrops it's called muscle memory. Technically he can still play the piano with both hands while singing or doing something else
@@FLUQMAN rephrasing: I imagine one of the hardest parts is building the muscle memory to play piani
p a t i e n c e is very important
For me, the hard part is trying to put both hands together, but once I get it down it's easy (I'm an intermediate pianist studying piano)
1:40
piano is hardest rhythm game!!
fricking cool
Wait, someone played this song on Piano? For the first time ever I saw one on RUclips
my wrists hurt just watching this
HES OVERSTREAMING
He just FC it.
your good
bro you ss'd this song
Nice! now go DT
crying
nice!! pls go play Kozato - tsuki yue
Well i sure ascended to heaven while listening to this💦😩
How long do i need to play piano to play this all i can say i play 1 1/2 years and i cant play this xd
I've been playing for 13? years and still can't play it 100% :')
@@rev3rsor wow damn, youre still epic tho >.
imagine if you went in a duet with someone with a Violin
how does anyone do this lol
he's overstreaming
What app/program did you use to play this song? I searched for an hour and I couldn't find an online piano this big.
I recorded the MIDI in Cubase (with a piano VST), and the visualiser is a screen recording from Synthesia. Although I think I might have been able to find an online piano supporting the full range in the past, if you have a MIDI keyboard with all 88 keys.
@@rev3rsor Ooh, thank you. Do you know where to get a full MIDI keyboard like that?
This is playable??????
Yup! Tricky but should be possible
can i have the midi file please :D?
Yeah thats great but dt please
I wonder if the sound is from an actual piano or synthesia?
This one is from a VST since it's recorded through my keyboard, not live piano
Play it in 1.5x
harder than osu
Indeed, isn't that so?
merami 1171
WYSI
@@elidle15 waht
Great now play it with dt
Who else but this on 1.5x
Merami be like: 1.5x speed
thats how i listened to this
coz is how im used to it now
HE’S OVERSTREAMING!!
1.50 speed
THIS SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE
What!!??!!!!??!!??!!?
667pp
I thought it was impossible
Isn't this an ai playing? Anyways i loved the cover!
I take that back, i think you're just good enough to play this
It's my real hands, but the audio is cleaned up using MIDI!
Non gd player
727th like hehehe
I just played this song in osu! and I get this notification wtf
more xi's songs cover please!
They take some time, but I'll do my best!
@@rev3rsor I'll wait for it. but anyway do songs, that you prefer to do, this is the most important thing. Thanks for your work you are amazing
