  • This is „Yuna's Ballad" from the Final Fantasy X-2 Piano Collection. Game by Square Enix, music composed by Takahito Eguchi and Noriko Matsueda, arranged for piano by Hiroko Kokubu. This is a very sad and melancholy piece.
    A few people have been asking me, so I've made a Facebook page and a Twitter account. I'm completely new to both and not too active on either at the moment but plan to use them more frequently eventually, so feel free to check them out if you are interested:

    It's been a while since I've posted anything, so let me give you an update. I have found a couple of people who are willing to work with me, they luckily are experts and one of them seems to have a good understanding of what's going on with my fingers, and he thinks that there is a chance for a partial recovery. Unfortunately, he said that it could take a very long time, but he also said there is a decent chance for some first progress in less than a year. I'll have to take his word on it and just go through that process. For the moment, I am basically prohibited from playing or recording anything that is a possible strain on the hands, so I will be limited to very easy and simple pieces. It's not as if I could play anything else at the moment, anyway. I also still have a bunch of videos I didn't upload yet, this is one of them. More to come, there will also be more Final Fantasy pieces.
    Another thing, so you aren't surprised when you see it. I'll delete a couple of my videos shortly - one of the Scott Joplin videos, the Fabio Frizzi duet as well the Eneomao's Machine Tower duet. Latter will still be available on Mark Andrew's channel, and the Frizzi piece will still be on Frank Rideau's channel as well. Also, I'll private some of the sheet music updates. You can still watch the sheet videos for Moon Song and Shop Music on 3llianX's channel, the CoT video will stay.
    Thanks for watching and see you around.

    This is my husband's favorite from you--
    He was surprised it came from a final fantasy game.
    You play it so musically and so beautifully.

    @dreadjoker10 Před 13 lety

    thats alot of dedication to actually overpractice!! i think ive read somewhere that ur not supposed to play for more than 6 hrs a day.
    hope ur hands get better soon :)

    @TamaThps thank you and i agree, the ffx-2 piano collection is very special. nothing quite like it, i wish they would do another one with the same arrangers and with the same style.

  • @FifteenPens
    @FifteenPens Před 12 lety

    Oh my god, this brought tears to my eyes. What I would give to watch you play this live. A lot of people hate this game, but it is, and will always be, my favorite.

    oh man, so beautiful - my heart literally melted away during that performance! oh, and the piece isn't THAT easy - no need to undersell the skills! man, so glad to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel! we'll all see and hear you at the other end yet! wishing you all the best buddy!
    p.s - was it just me or is the sound quality in this vid just amazing!?

  • @iplayp1ano
    @iplayp1ano Před 12 lety

    Sound was amazing. The piano he is playing is amazing. And of course, Verdegrand is also amazing and plays this song very well. I love this.

    Argh, when I tried to learn this I went through hell trying to play from 2:27 onwards... getting the two hands to play the separate parts truly stumped me. All I can do is say thank you for sharing this, and wonder how is it possible for someone of your talent playing FF piano music (which is normally a high priority search for most FF fans) to get so few views?? 'Tis truly staggering.

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @Bcutter cool thanks :) yeah this music is really soothing and while it's kinda deep, it can be good background music at the same time.

  • @z0mbieninja
    @z0mbieninja Před 13 lety

    You're amazing. I love your videos. Thank you for making these.

  • @Arrow9100kj

    It's great to see your beautiful playing here on YT again, V, even if its only for a little bit. I wish you all the best and I pray that your convalescence will be swift. Thanks for being such a resilient spirit and uploading whatever you still can.....your presence on YT is a blessing ^_^.

  • @Bcutter
    @Bcutter Před 13 lety

    Beautiful, just beautiful. I hadn't heard the piece before, but I have had this on repeat for hours. Great music to work to!

  • @NemesisKrauser
    @NemesisKrauser Před 10 lety

    I love this song... You did a beautiful cover of it. Absolutely beautiful.

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @alistor007 thanks for your support, well there seems to be some hope, so i'll just have to go through this process and see how it turns out. let's see.

  • @mrPillow91
    @mrPillow91 Před 13 lety

    I'm positive that one day, when you'll have fully recovered, you will start playing again as always. You deserve it. :)

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @shrey1720 thanks man, and about my fingers, it's not entirely clear yet but it seems to be a nerve issue. gotta wait and see how things go, thank you for your support.

  • @RobinLSL
    @RobinLSL Před 13 lety

    Yeah, more stuff from V! This was a really nice listen 8-D

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @dreadjoker10 hello, yeah i think that not only from a medical, but also from a learning/psychology perspective it doesn't make sense to practice more than 4 or 5 hours a day. overpracticing might have played a role in my case but there is also other stuff going on without which overpracticing wouldn't have been a problem at all. i'll just have to wait and see. thanks for your support.

  • @EstherLynnhhj
    @EstherLynnhhj Před 13 lety

    i came back from a vacation and saw 2 new videos from you :DDD

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @daigoro789 thanks man. yeah that way seems to be a good one that i have to try, let's see. the sound quality should be the same as with the earlier videos. hm, i have no idea why it would be better, since this isn't HD.

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @SnowyTerra thanks a lot, i appreciate it. yeah let's see how things go.

    @disneydra hi, this is from the ffx-2 piano collection album, the sheets should still be available.

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @morpheas768 thanks man i really appreciate it a lot. i try to do my best, let's see how things turn out. and yes this is a really beautiful piece, the entire FFX-2 collection is amazing.

  • @daigoro789
    @daigoro789 Před 13 lety

    @Verdegrand no probs man! btw, am thinking that the sound Q thing may be down to my listening through a new set of 'inner ear' headphones as oppose to my cheapo ones in the past :P oh, and great to hear you playing some FFX-2PC - if i remember correctly, it was this album that really brought you into VGPmusic in the first place - so yeah, nice to hear you bringing it back to where it all started for you :P

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @iBab0 heh thank you, enjoy them

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @Traikan thank you very much, well it seems it would be detrimental to stop playing completely, that's one of the reasons why i continue at the moment. I'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hax0red, if you get my reference :)

  • @shrey1720
    @shrey1720 Před 13 lety

    @verdegrand Hey Verdegrand, thanks as always for a beautiful piece. On a side note, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is wrong with your fingers? Well, whatever it is, I know you'll be fine. You have my support.

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @VirtualHarmonies hey thanks man, yeah heh with pieces like this i try to let it finish in an appropriate way without rushing it, because that could ruin the atmosphere.

  • @Verdegrand
    @Verdegrand  Před 13 lety

    @mrPillow91 i would love to, because i will actually want to do this for a living. i'll have to wait and see how things turn out. but thanks for the encouragement.

  • @KingOfNoodles19
    @KingOfNoodles19 Před 13 lety

    Is this the original version or is it an improvisation by you? The start sounds like very familiar but afterwards it feels a little different. Nevertheless its epic :)

  • @Verdegrand
