what amazes me the most about this is not your insane skills, but the fact that you clearly have memorized this entire thing. That's my goal, thanks for showing it's possible.
Hey, arranger of the sheet music here, just found your video and wanted to stop by and say that this is amazing work and I am very thoroughly impressed! I'll be honest when I arrange sheet music, I can never play it, and I'm never sure if it is actually playable. Cascade was one of my main worries, but you have proved that this is actually playable, and you played it marvelously! I applaud you! This is incredibly amazing, and it's nice to hear my arrangement played on an actual piano, it's so insane! This is truly amazing! Major props to you :P tl;dr: Hearing my arrangement played like this is incredible and it totally made my day!
Actually, for once, I didn't mind the failed parts, to be fair though, I don't actually care for the parts that you failed at, since you got the whole thing in one go.
Honestly this is absolutely mind-blowing. I know you made a few mistakes but??? Seriously, this is incredible. You can play so fast, and on both hands, and you memorized the whole 11 minutes. You hit pretty much all the noted despite it bring awkward to do in some places and it really was beautiful. I'm glad I found this.
Sometimes your fingers move too fast. This muddles the sound and prevents all of the notes from being heard. Try playing the piece with a metronome to keep you at a easygoing, slow tempo. That way your nerves won't get to your fingers and muddle the sound. c: congrats on remembering the entire piece and playing it near flawlessly.
When I heard the end of this, I very nearly stood up and started clapping, and I only stopped because my laptop was in the way. This is beautiful in writing and execution, slightly more so in this regard. To you, our dear artist, I thank you for taking the time to learn this piece and then recording it for our ears to rejoice to.
I'm trying to learn this by myself right now as well. And I can only say. Respect. This piece is a beast. I admire every person who is able to play it like you. *takes down hat in awe*
dude i just found this today, and wow, i am amazed. honestly looking at the sheet music and how you play it, it looks super difficult, but you pulled it off! you probably won't see this, it's been so long, but i hope you're doing alright wherever you are now :)
It's been years since I first watched this video and every now and then I come back to watch it again. My sister is learning to play Cascade on the piano partially because of this video. You're a fantastic player and I'm absolutely stunned every time by how well you play this.
HYESZ. THIS IS DA MAGICKZ. No, really. I play the piano, and I probably can't play this without five months- no, ten months of practice. I applaud you. Jolly good show. Jolly good indeed.
the flare part was badass like seriously that is hard because of how fast it is but wow that was so cool even how you made the echo sound effect with the keys that was awesome!!!!
3:00 where u keep switching your hands is stunning and amazing how you can do it! the black moon part where derse dreamers ascend is my fave, made me cry ):
This is insane(ly awesome)! Too bad you only have 30k views... I attribute that to recording quality, because in all other respects this is incredible.
Right at 6:00. God, so many chills; it just has so much power in that one note, like, this is where Jade is going God Tier, sit your asses down folks, this is going to be fucking epic.
I love your timing and interpretation of this. I've seen other videos yes, but I felt that they were rushing too much at certain parts, and I congratulate you for not.
I've been trying to learn this for about a year now. I still don't know how you hit those low octaves on the Flare part every single time. I can only hit them like 70% of the time. And when you get to the dyads? (two note chord, whatever the name is) in the right hand, you're still playing so fast! I'm getting closer but this is still blowing me away as a pianist with like 10 years of hobby experience.
Maximus but i mean there are so many other songs that sound so much better on piano like dont get me wrong this is good but with another song it would be so much better
I think you forget that cascade is a combination of many songs. Learning cascade requires you to learn different songs, so really. Why ask? Cascade is amazing and sounds wonderful on piano :y
A couple things: (assuming you played it from the sheet music provided from the forums) It looks like you played it to the speed of the midi file, which is a bit faster than the original song. I'm not picking on you for this, It just means you moved even faster in the fastest parts, which is reALLY fricken hard to do. Congrats! Also, bar 6 and 7 (bass clef (and also later on in the song)) how do you play that chord? My teacher has suggested I cut out the top A since it's such an awkward thing to play, but I like how it sounds with the octave and the extra notes. Any suggestions?
:U You're so good at piano, and honestly the only really noticeable mistake is the end of the flare cut (No offence but holy crap maybe play a bit slower you're messing that up quite a bit haha) But this is really good! :0 Keep at it, you'll do well :3
How did you manage this. There were so many ninth, my hands aren't that big. And some of notation was weird (at the beginning they have f and e# marked in the same chord)
holy what how do you even move your hands that fast??? I'm curious, how long have you been playing piano? I've been playing for 9 years and I'm not nearly this skilled!

*thumbs up to you
Is there a way you could send me a copy of this arrangement? I want to learn to play it too!
Astroblaze the Reality Traverser thanks...
AWESOME
I'm impressed you could play for 11 minutes
Who's playing it?
This is some nice music…
You'll be pissed when i tell you this:

Your house is very green.
Your mom is very green.

Was that an attempt at an insult, murloc? 🤔 I have a hungry crab looking forward to your rebuttal.

Any progress? :p
Oh nice. Should only take you a few years..
I'm about a year in, and I still haven't gotten to black rose/green sun yet... 😕
RUclips wouldn't let me post links so I updated the description. The link to the sheet music's there :)
I'm trying to learn this by myself right now as well. And I can only say. Respect. This piece is a beast. I admire every person who is able to play it like you. *takes down hat in awe*

Not sure why youtube recommended this to me *now*, but dang is it a treat. Thank you for the music :)
I AM ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY BY HOW GOOD THIS IS ASFHDK
It's been years since I first watched this video and every now and then I come back to watch it again. My sister is learning to play Cascade on the piano partially because of this video. You're a fantastic player and I'm absolutely stunned every time by how well you play this.
I was crying on the moment with Jade`s God Tier!! Gosh, brilliant!!
man I have this saved for all these years and this still hits me every single time!!! please dont ever take this down
HYESZ.
THIS IS DA MAGICKZ.
No, really. I play the piano, and I probably can't play this without five months- no, ten months of practice.
I applaud you. Jolly good show. Jolly good indeed.
i expect our fandom to continue doing stuff like this now that homestuck ends. youre awesome.
the flare part was badass like seriously that is hard because of how fast it is but wow that was so cool
even how you made the echo sound effect with the keys that was awesome!!!!
OHMYGOSH THAT IS SO AMAZING. It sounded almost exactly perfect!! You are the hero of the fandom. It's you.
Chopin would've been proud.
I'm chopin onions over the fact that homestuck has ended.I cannot handel it ;( So HARD to hold bach the tears
Still no dislikes. Impressive.
Ok defiantly learning this, its just too good, and also damn good job the song is WAY harder than it looks.
That was quite good! I feel that you should look into polishing it a bit more though. Also, no sheet music? Are you MAD!?
It's a shame about the mistakes, but, like, you win. You totally win. The whole thing. All of it. This one's just totally won life.
3:00 where u keep switching your hands is stunning and amazing how you can do it! the black moon part where derse dreamers ascend is my fave, made me cry ):
This bring me tears, srsly, this is beautiful, im in awe
Whenever this ends I feel like applauding. Damn this is good.
oh my god i'm crying my eyes out this is beautiful
This is amazing, it sounds amazing and is incredibly close to the original thing. You must have gotten the Lord of Music godtier or something.
WHY IS IT SO IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY
This is insane(ly awesome)!
Too bad you only have 30k views... I attribute that to recording quality, because in all other respects this is incredible.
Right at 6:00. God, so many chills; it just has so much power in that one note, like, this is where Jade is going God Tier, sit your asses down folks, this is going to be fucking epic.
10:30 is my favourite part of cascade and you played it stunning, thank you
At 0:52 I was like HOLY SHMOW. It sounded just like the original.
That's some fast playing. 0_0
I love your timing and interpretation of this. I've seen other videos yes, but I felt that they were rushing too much at certain parts, and I congratulate you for not.
You are such an amazing pianist!
Yes! I love this!
Literally piano goals
There are no words to how awesome you did on this, just- mind=blown
This is amazing.
And that's really all there is to say on the matter.
I've been trying to learn this for about a year now. I still don't know how you hit those low octaves on the Flare part every single time. I can only hit them like 70% of the time.

You have insane finger and arm muscles. I'm just starting to learn this and just wow.

CRAP THAT REALLY GOOD!
ok yes the playing is incredible but seriously
out of all the songs you could choose to cover
why cascade
+dankablook because cascade, do they need any other reason?
Maximus but i mean
there are so many other songs that sound so much better on piano
like dont get me wrong this is good
but with another song it would be so much better
+dankablook A lot of other songs have covers, this is one of the few cascade covers, and the only cover of black hole/green sun
I think you forget that cascade is a combination of many songs. Learning cascade requires you to learn different songs, so really. Why ask? Cascade is amazing and sounds wonderful on piano :y
