Many fast passages are easy to play - it just depends on the conditions surrounding it. What I like about Gonazales's performances are his attention to detail. He has a way breathing life into each note, especially the softer ones. It requires a different kind of mastery than shredding on a guitar does - BUT, I agree that action-packed performances are usually more visually interesting.<br /><br />@Nat - It does sound very influenced by romantic-era music.<br /><br />@GSK - I agree with that completely! Anyway, sounds like you're off to a good start. I'm also happy that someone could find my videos to be useful - imitating others is an efficient way to learn most anything.<br /><br />You know, Ryuichi Sakamoto sounds very familiar but I really can't recall listening to his music. I'll have to give Yellow Magic Orchestra a listen. Thanks for your kind comments!

In the en...Yeah this is Satie all over, quite nice. In the end it don't matter how many notes there are, just the principles governing them - you can have harmonically complex pop songs that are relatively easy to bash out. Lot of people get too into rote technique, it becomes a means to an end rather than a hurdle.<br />By the way, thanks for doing your piano vids - I'm still a beginner on the keys and theory in general and as you must know, watching other people play is a good way of picking up or noting certain things down. Your videos have been really helpful in that regard, so cheers for that!<br />Just one last question - do you know / like Ryuichi Sakamoto or Yellow Magic Orchestra? It was mental for me to hear the first two YMO albums and realise that they were essentially video game music - in the late 70s!! Even weirder to find out so many of the big game composers were actually influenced by them.<br />Again, cheers and keep up the good work - with any luck there'll be a game out one day with your name on the OST (as trite as that sounds :P)Glaxo Smith-Klinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04449422480839061679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53577156075713854.post-68090993230788434392009-06-12T22:29:23.497-07:002009-06-12T22:29:23.497-07:00"Gogol" is so simplistic and eerie, yet ..."Gogol" is so simplistic and eerie, yet you can't stop listening to it!

Piano playing just doesn't involve a lot of actions, unlike say, heavy metal guitar.Savin (Nay) Wangtalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437084660342334225noreply@blogger.com
