Those Who Fight (Final Fantasy VII Piano Collections)(Nobuo Uematsu)

- I've now learned to distinguish between Those Who Fight and Those Who Fight Further! This one was much tougher to learn in my opinion. There are a lot more big chords and stretches which are my weakness! A couple of places my arrangement seems to be a little different than some I have heard, for some reason. But overall I was really happy with how this turned out, and I hope you all enjoy it!

Heya Kara. Do you like to accept constructive critisism?
I've got some really sound advices for you, but did not find a way to contact you privately(and I assume you would not like to have all of it here in the comments).
If you like, Is there any place or way I can do this?
II'll mention some about it here though so you get an idéa what it's about..
It's about what truly makes a musician/music piece great, which for me after watching a few videos of you made me want to point out as I feel that even though it's quite obvious to people quite deep into music, it surely might be unnoticeable to another, and also, maybe most easily, for yourself... I'd like to tell you about it so you'll not only be skilled and consecutive, but also become great and heartmoving :) For you who are this skilled already it's more easily accesible, and you would soooo much more actually enjoy playing! It's not really work rhen.
For shalt not musicians make music which truly touches more deeply, moves one's hearts and leaves goosebumps and wonder.. for me anyhow, without that genuinity, the music can be as skillful as it likes but leaves me hollow, and as such, is not something I'd like to present wholeheartedly, as it did not get that magnificent touch that clings with your Spirit & Life itself. I'd like help for your and everyones sake.
Love, Simon
Thank you for this Simon! I always want to hear my listener's comments and thoughts, and criticisms as well. Although to be honest I'm going to be quite set in my ways, as I've been immersed and well taught in music for almost my entire life. The fact is that even I can listen to recordings of some of the greatest pianists in the world and ask myself "did they really get into that, are they really feeling it as much as I do?" But there are many reasons for this. Some have to do with quality of recording, the piano itself, and even the fact that, after having played a particular piece so many hundreds of times, even the greatest pianist may not be feeling the emotions as much as they were when they first started learning the piece. Music is an art and will never be the same. It has imperfections and the musicians who perform the music have imperfections.
It might be interesting for you to continue to listen to my recent recordings on my new piano and see what you think. I like the way my new piano records even better than the Steinway, as the Steinway needed some voicing and I had difficulty playing softly.
but yes please send your thoughts! My email is karaprodigypiano@gmail.com
Thank you for listening!!
Just because you took the time to write such a thoughtful answer to that comment, I'm just gonna say that you are fucking awesome.
screw Simon your music is amazing keep it up
no need to change a thing, keep it up!
No, error, Kara. Music doesn't have imperfections, for it is the absolute definition of perfection. As you said, people are the ones who have imperfections.
Btw, you're ridiculous, Simon.

If you are wondering why she's so good, she has a materia of course
Ofc
Master Materia
Specifically the note materia
I cannot imagine how many hours of practice went into this run. This is incredible. WELL DONE.
This shit fucks. Hard. I finally caught your stream. That Batman cover gave me goosebumps.
If you don't get goosebumps at 1:51 something's wrong with you. Such a beautiful arrangement of this awesome and energetic song. I'll never get tired listening to it, especially this version.
Absolutely, chills everywhere! Jeebus that's so good!
agree
You're a fucking beast
Dare I count how many times I’ve watched this over the years.
Your approach is as a Lioness hunting, sifting through the tall grass. Your fierce, yet patient.
The mistakes don’t hinder the performance one bit. Too much to love ❤
How are we so lucky to have a professional classically trained pianist to cover FF songs
You can see the difference right away between someone who has spent a lifetime practicing their craft rather than a decent player on RUclips.
This playing is on another level and love the slight improvisation. And riffing.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Beautiful! It's one of my favorite pieces because it flows effortlessly from wild and aggressive into a serene section. It's like the pianist gets rewarded with a short break before he has to head back into battle. I also love the way the main progression sounds so encouraging to just go out and do something.
This one was a HUGE favorite with my Final Fantasy followers! I had tons of people asking for this one. Actually I recorded Those Who Fight Further thinking it was the same piece (it's actually my favorite of the two), but found out there were TWO separate pieces! So naturally I had to record this one too ;) Can you believe this is just a main battle theme for a video game?!
Yeah personally those who fight further is my favorite of the battle songs from FFVII. I love the Black Mages' (Nobuo Uematsu's band) version of the song. It's basically the same as it is in the game, just way better quality and seemingly more powerful.
Truth be told, i actually "like" this video before it started rolling ! Because anyone who dares to even attempt it deserves a like. It's tough isn't it !?
HAHAHAHA love your comment, it made me laugh XD And yes that's true, this piece is a beast. It's actually harder than Those Who Fight Further, although by comparing the two you'd think Those Who Fight Further would be harder. I have small hands, so big chords are especially tough for me. I do better with fast finger work :)
true as hell, I cannot do both parts at the same time and to from my perspective nobuo uematsu songs are god-like honestly especially on piano he's a true musical genius and she totally makes them sound right
I got even smaller can't even reach those notes.. one of the reasons I never learnt piano much, for fun but otherwise i'm pretty limited in range xD so switch to guitar where it matter less :P Even if i'm not that good ahah
I also liked it before it began playing lol
same as me! hahahaha
This is nuts. By far my favorite cover of this song. It's satisfying listening to you nail it so perfectly.
This brings so many childhood memories... I pity whoever says videogames are not art and are not capable of enjoying them. Storylines, characters, art design and MUSIC; all these elements combined in the right way can create true masterpieces in which YOU are the protagonist.
Yesterday I was watching a streamer and suddenly 'Rose of May' played. I felt nostalgic. I went to YT and looked for the song, and I don't know why I clicked on your cover. It gave me goosebumps. Started watching videos and went to bed around 2 AM. No regrets at all. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Wow I love comments like these, they make me stay motivated to keep recording! Movies and videos are one of the newest and hugest ways TO create art! Some old school people just don't like to admit it. Some of the best music being written today are in movies and games. Thank you for watching my videos!!
This is one of my favourite versions I've come across! I think a lot of people get so worked up on the fact it's supposed to be super fast and in turn it's not crisp. This is absolutely beautifully played!
Oh my god, great work! I just love this part 1:50 - 2:10 it just makes me so melancholy.
Thank you!! I like how this one turned out, it's one of my favorites :) So much nostalgia too, right?!
Kara Comparetto Yes FF7 is my favo RPG and one of the best games ever made.
This absolutely rules!
Amazing!
Well done! Are you secretly working for SquareEnix?
yeah she japanese bro
I did not expect to have the reaction to this video that I did, but found myself quite moved and inspired. Those of us who perhaps played this game in our youth will, no-doubt, experience a mix of emotions upon hearing this music, quite like what we experienced while playing the game itself. Thank you for bringing me back and PLEASE continue to make these amazing videos. 10/10
That was amazing! I like this version. Well played!
haha thank you Tomas!
Your Final Fantasy cover music are truly amazing !! Super die hard fan here. Thank you for all your pieces of work Kara 😭😊
OMG!!! Help me!!!! My childhood Nostalgia is slicing the sky with THE SWORD!!! BUSTER!!
I greatly enjoy listening to you play! You play with great clarity and colour! Thank you!
Thank you!! I love early classical music, so I tend to focus on being clear and clean. Sometimes a little TOO much haha. But I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Wow! Really nice cover. I just noodle around on Piano but this is next level stuff. Really fun. My son was very impressed to see this.
Flawless and meticulous performance as usual. This brilliant piece of music really shines with your treatment! Thank you so much to share your talent and passion with us ! 🙏🏻
Absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing us
Awesome as always. Battle on the Big Bridge from the Piano Opera Final Fantasy IV/V/VI would be a nice challenge for you as well I think :)
I have heard of the piece but I don't think i have the actual piano opera collection for IV, V and VI. I need to get it soooon! And I'm so sorry for a late reply, I just saw this :(
I keep listening to this and those who fight further! It’s absolutely fantastic! I’m replaying FF7 at the moment, and love hearing this while playing.
I love those who fight further even more!
so well played, i know the song since a long time, never heard it played so nice. Amazing.
GIRL THIS IS SO GOOD
Aw thank you! You're the best. I'm glad at least you can see the difficulty in this piece, it makes me feel just a little bit better! I'm already excited to make my next FF cover, although it may not be as crazy as this one ;) Thank you again, SO much!
Hey, Thank you also for that other kind message you sent to me. It was super thoughtful and made my day! I don't know where to access the message though (I only saw it through my email), so that's why I'm replying here :P You're so awesome, THANK YOU AGAIN for the encouragement!!!!
Hitting all those notes! So amazing! ❤️
My god... just amazing! Congratulations!!!!
Thank you so very much!! :D
Brilliant Kara! Amazing job for what I can only imagine is an incredibly difficult piece :)
Thank you very very much! It was a hard one, because of the big chords, which I'm not so good at and have to work hard to do. Thank you again!!
absolutely beautiful cover of my fav video game track. bravo!
I know this is an older video but still one of my favorites 😊 you are amazing Kara!
Very nice! I really like the lighting and whatever lens you're using on the headshot as well. Looks and sounds great.
As someone who has attempted to tackle this piece of sheet music years ago and failed miserably, I can confirm that Kara absolutely nails every note as well as honoring the way the piece should be played. Masterful.
Man I don't know how your hands didn't cramp on this piece! Just wow! It's amazing!! I like how you change with the staccatos and legato towards the trio. You def worked up a sweat! You are a brilliant musician and composer Kara!
Thank you from my heart Tony!!
Kara Comparetto seeing that someone as good as you think that this is one of the hardest pieces they've done makes me feel a bit better about my lack of competence at playing this
Oh absolutely, this one is a monster in many places! I tend to like playing pieces that are not so difficult, even though I imagine most of you want to hear me play the hard ones XD keep at it!!
Easily the best I've seen so far, sounds like they used this in the actual soundtrack
Dang... it is 2020 and I listen to this piano and got goosebumps, very great play. Now I have battle to catch with support
This could be the single most incredible thing I've ever seen. Bravo!!
A lot of feeling, bravo.
Kara you're such an inspiration! I don't own a piano or ever even touched one but last night at my 10 year old nieces recital i tried rushing the stage to the piano to play this tune. Its hard enough to play this arrangement as is, but try it while being tasered, bro!
this is a tough one to just start playing lol! :D good for you! XD
This is my favorite version of this song. Something about it just makes every other cover to it just not hold a candle.
Wow I'm blown away!! Amazing
It’s nice to see someone playing at the proper tempo. Not rushed. Really feeling it! Well done!
Ahh good to hear, thank you Callum!
Awesome Those Who Fight Piano Collections Final Fantasy VII Video.
You are great, beautiful and amazing cover!
Absolutely incredible! One right after another you knock them right out of the park. thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the rest of us 🤗
Thank you so much, you are incredibly kind! I think the biggest reason you say those things is because you truly appreciate this amazing music just like I do.
+Kara Comparetto I absolutely do, but also, you play it with such passion and enthusiasm. Your command of the piano is nothing short of inspiring. Keep up the good work 👊
timeless brilliance, still even to this day.
The way you play is so clean and well controlled. This song is pretty amazing, never really took time to listen when I played the game. I get a kick from watching how accurate your fingers are and how you actually manage some of those chords at the speed you are playing, I was waiting for keys to go flying lol.
Out of most people playing on the internet, I think you're very talented and almost one of the nicest person without a god complex or an ego issue. I enjoy so far most of what I have listened to. Very soothing, most of the arrangements you chose are very engaging, even the slower songs. I'm not a classical person, after listening to some of the ones you have on, I had to admit it sounded really nice.
The passion and emotional expressions you show are still epic, not sure that would ever drop off since it is your passion. You had me listening from start till end which is rare for me lol. You're doing a great job and I would have you as a teacher to learn from any day.
Wow thank you for this!!! So encouraging, it makes me want to keep playing and posting. ❤️
this is the music that we stopped listening to in the ff, a piece of art from end to end the finals fantasy
Ah.....the third one I am listening to today in your collection from "Final Fantasy" and was hoping I would find this one in your collection!!! It's my favorite work of all the Final Fantasy music creations and in my opinion, the most difficult (although another pianist claimed it was One-Winged Angel for her). In any event, you have managed to pull this off so very beautifully!!! You capture the incredible peaks and valleys of this music so well!! I won't even dare attempt this. An old car accident as a teen prevented my career as a solo concert pianist due to lingering nerve issues that limit my speed and dexterity somewhat (mostly intricate, fast runs and arpeggios), but I am not complaining. I adapt, but for some pieces, such as this one, I now must live vicariously through others like yourself. BRAVO for this brilliant performance Kara! ~Jackie
Yes this one is pretty difficult, and definitely compares in difficulty to One Winged Angel. I struggled more with OWA though hahaha. Those Who Fight Further is also a tough one! I would love to record some of these again (Although I like this one), because they're not quite as intense as I'd like them to be. I've learned a lot in the past year about playing with more intensity (my skill lies best in early classical music). :)
You are very welcome. They are all tough right?! Still, you seem to play with relative ease, even though I can see the intense level of focus required for this. You are really great Kara! Have a great night! Hugs, ~Jackie
Love this piece. Very well played!
Wow! 😍 This is version is really difficult.
Hello Dear Pianist!
I like watching your Piano vidios and watched them for a while.
I always wondered Why your Channel didn't have any Ads at all until a while ago.
Now I am happy that I could support you a little by watching a ad to the end before listening to your vidios.
I really thought I was lucky to have discovered your Channel and was sorry That I had to listen to Wonderful this without any support.
Thank you again and keep up your good work!
I am rooting for you as an Asian Fan
XD :D
you're sooo sweet hahah I never think of ads this way, but I guess you're right, it's a wonderful way to help support and I appreciate it so much!!
@@KaraComparetto It may be a little bit excusing.. But did you play the games the music you play? Or do you just perform because of the lovely melodies??
Again. Wow. Just wow. This one of my most favorite ff fighting themes. Next to all of ff4 . She killed it. Awesome.
this is just AWESOME! i've listening to you unstopable for about some days now. this song is just the best one you've played
Very impressive. Always awesome to hear music from my childhood.
Just want to say. The way you play, with such emotion. I love that your are so into your piece. It's a beautiful thing. Your eyes and body display this heavily. I truly think you are wonderfully talented. Clearly you have worked very hard. I can so easily see that you feel your music. You are feeling your piece more than you are just playing it. That is what separates you and a couple other pianists on RUclips from the mass of them. I hope this makes it clear that you are still moving some. People are still being affected by your music.
God bless, please keep up all your hard work with these songs! Love it!
Awesome! Keep that FF music coming :)
Thank you David! I most certainly will, I already can't wait to record the next one!
so nice!
Absolutely fantastic, that part at the end gave me chills. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much! In the sheet music, it changes the tempo to Presto, making it extremely fast. I really enjoy that part myself too XD
I notice you have fun while playing. Thank you for replying
Great speed! Perfect!!! People always want to play this way too fast and ends up sounding like a garbled mess. Well done.
Brilliantly done, my friend! Sounds just like the track from the Collections! That definitely looked tougher than Those Who Fight Further.
Haha I'm glad someone else agrees with me! This one just requires more energy, and in some spots there's no break. I'm kinda glad it's over XD But I enjoyed learning it a lot!
Wow. I mean, really wow! This is an amazing piece to listen to. Watching you play it, really brings home just how technical this piece really is. You have done incredible job of an exceptionally hard piece to play.
You are an inspiration!
Your other video's: The camera is placed in such a way as people can learn from your play. However in this, there is no camera shot that can capture everything unless it is in slow motion. The speed of this piece is insane. 12/10 from me.
Well done.
Thank you so much! Actually it's funny, when I first recorded this, I had a hard time listening to it because I felt there were issues. I listened to it again last night when I read your comment, and I was actually kind of happy with it for the first time haha! I didn't notice any of my mistakes (probably because I forgot where they were lol) XD Thank you again for your nice comment! :)
I like this more than the piano collections one, you play every phrase is more clear, good work.
Woahh so glad you think so, thank you!
I'm so glad RUclips recommendations are useful now! I love how you played one of the most difficult songs in the game. I also loved your One Winged Angel video. But you still need to play Clash on the Big Bridge! I'm sure a lot of people have requested that one already.
Keep up the good work and have a nice day! :)
Ah your'e right I do! And I have had many request it. Which game is that from?
Kara Comparetto Final Fantasy V, but has a lot of remixes (XII, Dissidia, XIV, XV...). Gilgamesh is a very iconic villain :)
Wow. I've listened the "official" piano version from the official piano collection of that song a lot of time, and honestly, i can't find any difference (in fact i found one around 0:28 but that's the only one i could find) the rest is playing so good that it felt i've just listened the cd. You are amazing and impressive, by far the most talented pianist cover i've found. Hope you will continue video game cover (and i hope you will try one day Besaid Island from FFX, the piano version of that song is so beautiful on piano). You deserve a lot more subscriber, considering how good your cover are, and you got mine at least ! thank you for this pleasure for the ears.
Thank you so much! I've had many request Besaid Island so I'd love to cover it soon! I'm planning a few covers from XV just to have a few modern things out there, but I'm still drawn to all these classic themes! Thank you for enjoying these videos :)
An interesting classical piano interpretation of a tune I would have listened to hundreds of times in my youth :)
Yes the Advent Children version ♥
Awesome work! can't believe i just got to see this and it been out for so long!!! i hope to see your version of crime and punishment from FMA.
amazing! i love it !
That was so metal \m/
Magnificent
I could only dream of ever tackling this fantastic!!
Thank you so much Matthew. Coming from an accomplished musician, that means a lot! I could say the same to you about your amazing covers :)
I Just need to say! congrats! this is lovely to hear and see that game score pieces can reach a very good attention and quality for be considered classical out erudit music. I've just saw your piece for One-Winged Angel and seems to me (a mere classical music auditioner and a quitter guitar amateur) flawless. Nobuo is for me a icon for what music can reach from a 8-bit game Melody to a Orquestra-piece art in the hands of good musicians like you've just showed us. I really don't know how to say much but that's a great experience to see you, that never played the game as you putted on the One-Winged description, interpret that two nice and rememberable score piece from a very good piece of story (for me, the best) of the VII game with Cloud, Aeris and Sephiroth. By the way, just in off, you could resemble Aeris (hehehehehe). Maybe she would looked like you if remaked for today's level of computer character design. Keep up with that good work. Wish you many conquests and success for all time. Bless and Peace.
Thank you very much for your nice comment! I enjoyed reading it and I appreciate all your thoughtful words. I wish my One Winged Angel was better but I'm glad you really liked it, and it spoke to you! That's what I'm aiming for :) I hope to play the remake of VII when it comes out soon, but I am working on completing XV right now! Cheers from New Hampshire :)
This just blew my mind. Thank you!
I Can barely see your hands moving, how Can you play that fast ? ^^
WOW!!! Amazing!
The way you played it in such, I saw a fight yet a dance.
Really gets you excited
God your absolutely amazing beautifully done
...simply amazing...
:OOOO Thank you!!
This is awesome!!!! 😄💖
I must send 100 hearts for this song and your performance
Great theme and playing!!!
Marvelous awesome.. I just can’t put in words.. I’ve just became a new follower! Well done!
Thank you!!!
Awesome! Loved it.
1:53-2:18 is me walking in to office drinking my coffee, only to sit down and realize that was my last sip....
Thank you for putting a little extra into those notes. Great job!
flawlesss
That was outstanding!
i just came back from the distant worlds tour having now been twice, once flying around europe for it, and would definitely pay money to hear you play final fantasy music.
Come to my performance of FF6 in Orlando Florida in October!! :D
@@KaraComparetto 6 isnt my jam. if you do an event for 7 through to 10 i would be looking to book a flight all the way from the uk!
This is heavenly music man
Great! I love FF7 themes!
Beautiful
Absolutely LOVE this!!!! (^^,)v
One of my favourite if not most fave Piano Solo OST from a game/movie!
Keep up your AMAZING work! I appreciate how much effort this potentially took!
Bless.xXx.!!!
Thank you sooo much! I really appreciate it Richard! "Potentially" took?! This one DEFINITELY took effort hahaha. I'm glad it's over because I had a little tough time with this one. But so happy I have a cover now :)
This is one of the pieces that makes me wanna learn piano
Then you totally gotta do it!! Do it while you've got some inspiration. It's a lifetime of progression, you'll never regret it!!
I want to! But I don't know where/how to start. I don't wanna feel like I can just play the few pieces that i particularly like and nothing else. And thanks for responding!
My goodness, so clean...thank you!
Just subscribed! Love listening to this stuff. It reminds me of my childhood, like many others here.
Haven't played this arrangement yet, but it looks super fun to play!
The Advent Children version! Awesome!
And I meant it! O/ I just watched the scene on the church where Tifa fights the remnant, after I saw you play
