Wonderful theme, but the Pale Court is an even better theme, too bad it was not included in the game and will only remain as a bonus track on the soundtrack disc.
Yeah unfortunately leaving out wonderful things from the finished products is a common thing. I can only imagine how much great music, movie scenes, book passages, and many other things were forgotten because they were cut from the finish products.
Sealed Vessel is my favorite boss theme from the piano collections! I really like white palace too. It has so many good moments in it. Good luck learning them! Let me know if you every have any questions about playing them.
I am learning this piece, I struggled a lot with that chord at 0:46, my fingers cannot reach Eb and G at the same time... nice approach!! I'll use it if you do not mind hehehe
Yeah, it's always assumed in piano music that if you can't reach something, you do what I did... Play the bottom note first then the top. I can't reach Eb to G either :)
I just got the sheet music for this and Celeste, thanks wholly to seeing you play these and loving your choices for phrasing. The sheets don't have fingering suggestions, or even very many RH/LH indications. I've only played this piece a couple times to get a feel for it, but already I can see that your fingering choices are superior to mine and your RH/LH choices make the piece easier. I enjoyed your recent video on the intro to this piece, but I was wondering if you might consider releasing a fingering/technique guide, even if it's just a text file or numbers and indications (don't want you to reproduce the actual sheet music and risk copywrite issues) which we could then buy from you to support you.
That's beautiful! I've been playing the piano for about a year, I wish I could play this piece like you one day. (Also I like the geeky stuff on the shelf next to you, Super Mario 3 takes me back)
It sounds ... heavenly ! I was hoping to find a midi for this arrangement, i guess this is the second to best thing haha. Absolutely beautiful covers my dude!
Thanks a lot! haha, please don't try to learn with the midi notes in this video. There are some mistakes in it. It's just there for aesthetic reasons LOL
Thank you for inspiring me to buy the book, shipping it from the states to germany 😀😀😀 and start playing these wonderful pieces. Hollow knight is beside Sekiro my favorite game 🙏
Hey man, I like what you did with this one. The faster tempo and abundant rubato are really nice, and it's cool to hear an interpretation so different from Augustine's. Nice lighting too.
I have access to the actual soundtrack from the piano collections company, but I’m listening to this one on repeat! It has so much much more emotion and style being played, keep it up!
Thanks! That's great to hear because I thought this was one of my worst performances of all the Hollow Knight piano collections. I'm glad there are people that actually like it.
I use a program called SeeMusic to make the lights. You just need to give it a midi file. I make my midi file by recording the music again but with my keyboard.
Aha, I beat you to this one by only a few days! :p There's no beating that sound quality, though. Well played, I tend to agree with the faster tempo compared to the score's marking (2/2 feel rather than 4/4 IMO) and you characterized each section uniquely and very expressively. You also seemed to make mostly light work of these descending/ascending sixths patterns which I found deceptively awkward to play, lol.
Oh funny that we uploaded it within just a few days of each other. Yeah I chose this tempo because it felt natural to me and seemed to flow well. I think now I was just a tad TOO fast but oh well... Thanks! The 6ths though were a tad awkward for me too, while making the recording I was so worried I would play a wrong note LOL. There was a very specific spot in the 6ths that I would often hit a wrong note.
Also, I like the feel of your recording. It's peaceful, calming, and (I think there's a better word than this) "monotone." I think that's what this piece needs. I think my playing was too emotional. This piece needs that slightly "subdued" feel which you captured well in your playing.
@@iLikePiano Thank you so much! I get what you mean but I really liked your approach to the piece as well - the eloquent expression and wider dynamic range helps recapture some of the original's orchestral intensity. I can't wait to hear your rendition of City of Tears! (possibly my favorite piece in the collection)
Me sorprendió que tocaras esta canción por que de todas las que hay de Hollow Knight, esa nunca se me pasó por la cabeza. Y debo admitir que es relajante e impresionante como lo tocaste. Me encantó el resultado. Tu muy bien. :D Un favor: ¿podrías escuchar la canción de "You May call me father" de Bayonetta 2 y darme tu opinión si podrías tocarla? Me gustaría saber si en un futuro te gustaría tocarla. Solo por mera curiosidad. Repito: excelente como tocaste.
This arrangement is part of the official Hollow Knight piano collections so I had to play it. haha. Oh I know "You May call me father." I haven't played the Bayonetta games yet but I found the music several years ago and love it. It would be a hard one however to play on piano because it's so chaotic.
haha. Do the buzzsaws make a lot of noise? I haven't been to this level yet. Back when I was playing HK a lot I assumed that after beating the Hollow Knight boss that that was mostly it. I didn't realize there was another ending. I need to fully complete the game soon...
iLikePiano Oh, my friend! To say that they make a lot of noise would be an insult to the PTSD you’ll experience after the White Palace and Path of Pain 😅 jk

@@iLikePiano That's right, and it's sad. ☹
It truely is...
Isn't pale court the Staff Credits theme?
Hold on I gotta listen
Edit: holy damn that's amazing
Ooh I like the quicker tempo, works well with the intro!
Thanks! It's a little quicker tempo than I wanted but oh well...
YES! I’m so glad you went with the shifts in tempo from the game!
Yep I figured it needed it! 😃
This and sealed vessel are my favourite tracks for the piano collections, and the ones I'm currently trying to play. Thank you for the beautiful cover

I love your videos! As someone that’s learning the piano this is very inspiring!
Thanks! Glad my playing can be of inspiration to someone! Let me know if you ever have piano questions.
@@iLikePiano will do!
Love your expression in this piece. It's a beautiful song anyway but really love the way you play it.
Love the Effects, love the way the video looks. Great Job!
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it.
That's beautiful! I've been playing the piano for about a year, I wish I could play this piece like you one day. (Also I like the geeky stuff on the shelf next to you, Super Mario 3 takes me back)
As long as you keep up the practicing you'll be able to play it one day! :)
It sounds ... heavenly !

Amazing! Been trying to learn the piece and seeing all your tricks to get those far apart notes really helped!
Glad to hear that! Good luck learning White Palace!

Hey man, I like what you did with this one. The faster tempo and abundant rubato are really nice, and it's cool to hear an interpretation so different from Augustine's. Nice lighting too.
Thanks! To be honest though I do think that I went a little TOO fast. Oh well... I did intend to keep the tempo up but not this much haha
If it weren’t for you, I’d have no idea how awesome the soundtrack for Hollow Knight is! That was beautiful!
Yeah it's a really amazing soundtrack. Do you think you might cover some of the music on guitar?
@@iLikePiano I’m going to play the game first and I don’t think I’ll be able to resist covering some of that soundtrack!
@@CRGuitarr Cool. Hope you enjoy the game (and the music) when you get around to it! I'll be waiting for your HK covers. haha :)

I am at a loss for words Ryan, that was simply magnificent, spectacular, beautiful piece! And you played it with such passion ♥️
Thanks Robbie! This is a really beautiful arrangement. I like this one a lot.
Absolutely beautiful!
Yeah it's a beautiful arrangement done by David Peacock!
WHAT HOW DID YOU DO THOSE FALLING NOTE EFFECTS???!
I played this on my channel too, but yours looks sooo much cooler!
I use a program called SeeMusic to make the lights. You just need to give it a midi file. I make my midi file by recording the music again but with my keyboard.
@@iLikePiano that's really cool I will try that. Thanks!

Amazing!
Thanks a lot for listening!
Cool!!!!😍
Magnifique !
Hey ryan, just curious. Do your hands not get tired from this stuff?
Not from this one, but definitely if I play something like Radiance. That one was a pain!!
Tears ahead.

It would be a fun one to play on piano though so I will keep it in mind.
Pale court
I don’t know man, it’s not the same without buzzsaws 😔
Jk amazing, one of my favorites!

@@GoodKnightNintendo haha. Can't wait to get back into Hollow Knight and experience it for myself!
This does not have near enough likes!!
This sounds kind of wrong without buzzsaws buzzing, spikes squishing and retainers whispering.
Where buzzsaws noises?
Note: this is a joke.
LOL :D
bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
