No, this is by Yann Tiersen, and I changed it a little. You can probably find a version by him by searching YouTube…

That was awesome, I love this piece. I just found out about Yann Tiersen two days ago and I can’t stop listening to him! great emotion in this piece, you bring it out so well too.

It’s not wrong, perhaps you just have different sheet music? Either way, I don’t appreciate your attitude.

Replace vid then makes sense or people be learning it wrong through bad internation on your behalf. which isnt to good if you could change it though with proper one then that would own. Btw I agree that Self taught piano means you get into habits. The only reason for being taught is to remove bad habits and so that you can find out what your doing wrong in your piece. I.e Like the vid where you played it wrongly. Good to here youve have improved now lets see a much nicer vid plox >.<

Thanks, I’ve watched that video and it’s actually the first place I heard this piece. This video is about two years old now, so I’m a lot better at playing this now… and I go slower.

oh and i forgot to add if you check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZJDNSp1QJA
or search The Piano on Youtube it has a nice rendition and if you listen to both that and yours in sinc you go from being ahead to behind at the point i mentioned but i think the link will help you get the motion of it better. And Merry christmas

Yeh doesnt sound right on the 2nd part well the 2nd phrase (Bar 21) (00:53) your pausing to long on the notes at the en dot the bar (b e c e) they should be the same length so its fluent instead your treating them as quavers not semi quavers and you do the same for each bar of that following section till b repeats again. Thought ur a was good and u were playing to fast. Keep up the good work though maybe if you listen to the actual piece more you will get the flow. And i think somwhere a long the line your ment to accent the notes I.e bar 8 the first note you accent and tail of on the 3rd

Just replace the 4th beat of each of those measures with two 8th notes: the first note of the measure and one note up if the arpeggio is about to repeat, or one note down if it is about to change. Beat 4 of measure 21 becomes B, middle C; beat 4 of measure 22 becomes B, A, etc.
