Aladdin - Disney Recital Suite, arr. Phillip Keveren

Описание: It’s unusual to associate Disney music with being difficult. But this one certainly is: Aladdin from the Disney Recital Suite by Phillip Keveren. While this arrangement is not easy, it’s definitely doable with enough practice. However, I made the mistake by re-starting from the beginning every time I made a small mistake. After about 10 times doing the black-key glissando from the very beginning, I already got a blister on the back of my index finger, extremely painful (yes, I had to pop it). As much as I wanted to do a clean recording, with the blister in place, I just had to tough it out on my last take all the way to the end no matter what happened as my index finger could not take another black-key glissando. It’s unfortunate that the number of mistakes exceeded my own standard. But black-key glissando was/is painful!

For people who have followed this channel for a while, this is a good example of how I record my pieces. When I get to about 80%, the camera starts rolling. I just keep playing over and over, each time fixing a small trouble portion. Usually within 1 to 2 hours it’ll be up to 95%, which I would be okay with. On this piece, I took it from 80 to 85% in like 20 minutes, but my index finger was already done.

This channel started with Final Fantasy music. Now that I’ve recorded pretty much all of them (except FFXII and FFIV), I’ll be doing Disney, Kingdom Hearts, NieR, and Ghibli for the next little while. I’ll be releasing Disney music every Monday starting from the oldest to latest.
