Q: I wish I could play this piece.
A: You can! If you have a MIDI setup (MIDI keyboard with damper pedal, MIDI piano, and a computer running Windows or Mac OS X), you can play this piece using the conductor program. You need to learn the piece really well, but you don’t need to learn to play the piano. The article describing how this works is here
http://www.musanim.com/tapper/
and the software is available here (free)
http://www.musanim.com/tapper/TapperDownload.html
The performance used in this video was done using this software!

Q: What happened to my comment?
A: Questions answered in the FAQ and comments with nothing to do with the video (”spam”) are removed, as are comments containing hate speech. If you posted a comment and don’t know why it’s gone, email me (stephen at musanim dot com) with “YouTube comment” in the subject line.

A: No; Stephen Malinowski made this one. Compare the two and let me know what you think.

Q: How did you make this video?

A: A French composer; you can read about him here:

Q: Where can I learn more about this piece?
A: This Wikipedia article is a good place to start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite_bergamasque

Q: Wasn’t this in Fantasia?
A: Almost. There originally was a Clair de lune segment in the film, but it was cut from the final release. It’s on the Fantasia Legacy Supplemental Features DVD.

Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself?
A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; you can get the (Windows) software here:
http://www.musanim.com/player/
There are lots of places on the web where you can get MIDI files; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first:
http://www.classicalarchives.com/

Q: Can I use this audio/video in my project?
A: Please send me an email (stephen at musanim dot com) describing your project and I’ll let you know whether it’s okay.

Q: Why does the title include the word “Twilight”?
A: Recently, many people have been exposed to this piece through the movie Twilight. If they are looking for this piece on YouTube, they might not be sure of the name of the piece, so I’ve put the word Twilight in the title to help them find it. I think it’s better for them to find the piece and listen to it than to not find it. Some people think that the piece “deserves better than to be associated with Twilight.” I can understand that point of view, but I don’t see that way; the piece deserves all the attention it can get, and anything that results in more people being able to appreciate it is a good thing. No one is going to lose any respect for this piece or for Debussy from the word “Twilight” appearing in the title of a YouTube video.

I loved this song so much that I decided to go learn how to play it. It was an easy, fun song to learn. I tried to do it as perfect as I could for you guys so I spent a few days learning and practicing. It took 15 minutes and starting over 56 times (yes, I actually counted) to record it and bring you the full, correct version of the Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal Bike Theme on the piano… well at least correct according to the sheet music.

Enjoy and re-live the memories of this great game!

Edit: Many people have been asking for the sheet music and it’s not mine to keep from you. You can download Finale Notepad and download the file from HeliumKid and a bunch of other stuff, but many people have been having problems with that (or they’re lazy, I don’t blame them) so I made it simple; you can download it from my photobucket. I scanned it in so there’s some marks on it to help me sight read but they shouldn’t be a problem for you. Enjoy! Good luck and have fun! Feel free to post a video response if you learned how to play it, I’d love to watch

Music arranged, performed, recorded, engineered and mixed by Diwa de Leon

Video shooting, editing, rendering by Diwa de Leon

This is my own rendition of the themes from Legend of Zelda game composed by Koji Kondo. Most of my picks came from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past originally for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

I’m a professional composer, arranger and a bit of a violinist, and cosplaying is one of my hobbies as well as playing video game music just for fun.

Sheet music is NOT available as this is my own arrangement and it’s not available anywhere else. I don’t notate my works unless it is a necessity. Most of the time I record my works directly upon conceptualization.

Thanks for watching!

Btw, this is for you Virgille since you were like “Yiruma again?” hahaha.

Oh yeah. For the sheet music, it’s easier to just torrent it because finding a direct download is waaaaay too hard and not worth the effort.

Just remember you have to have bittorrent or utorrent or something like that in order to torrent files.

For some reason you can’t access the sheet music unless you subscribe to my videos, it’s pretty weird. But I guess you have to subscribe for it to work.

If the sheet music doesn’t work, send me a message with your email, and I will attach a copy I have on my hard drive.

This is a piano cover of a song I learned yesterday. Sorry for the pause in the middle too.
