Final Fantasy IX - Eternal Harvest ~ Piano Collections (Cover)

Описание: I first started learning this version many, many years ago. I (like many others) was inspired by Kyle Landry’s cover, back in the olden days of YouTube. I actually began my relationship with this composition before ever playing Final Fantasy IX! But after I got to the difficult part, I grew weary and essentially gave up. Now, Jordi inspired me to relearn this piece, so I’ve been trying to do just that for the past few weeks, little by little.

I feel like this is a perfect cover to return to YouTube with, since it required a lot of effort from me. I was even lucky enough to get to borrow my dad’s 4K camera! Alas, I should’ve probably practiced for at least one more week before recording, since my playing is fairly sloppy here. However, I am busy next weekend, and I don’t want to leave it for too long. I had limited time, so I picked the best take out of the ones I had.

Instead of recording when I know the piece 100% perfectly, this time I decided to just fix a couple mistakes in post. Most notably there’s the right-hand note at 3:04, along with some left-hand notes around that same area. I’m very happy with the middle section though, along with the general flow!

I’ve started taking my piano playing a bit more seriously again, and I’ve decided it’s probably time that I start learning to read sheet music. I actually learned this version via the score, which is fairly unusual for me. In the video though, it’s just there for show; I can’t read fast enough that I would gain any help from the notes, at this point. I’ll be having fun with learning and re-learning more of the Final Fantasy Piano Collections versions, as I have many of the booklets, so you might be able to look forward to more FF covers :3

This is turning out to be a fairly long description, so I think I best let you listen rather than read! Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments; I always appreciate hearing from ya.

Until next time 😉
