I remember playing TRILOGY and my mom asked who was playing the piano. I told her it was a Rock and Roll artist named Keith Emerson. Teamed up with a brilliant guitar/bass player/vocalist and lyricist in Greg Lake. And a power drummer who can find nuances as well in Carl Palmer. "Three Guys?" "Yup,THREE GUYS!" RIP Keith wherever you are.
Makes me happy to know the music lives on. I last met Keith on May 5th 2010 on the Emerson Lake tour. I first met Keith in 1972. It's people like you and Rachel Flowers that keep his memory alive.🎹
A truly beautiful rendition of this wonderful ELP song. I am in awe of how you captured Keith so well. Please continue to keep his now silent musical voice alive.
Just subscribed and I feel like singing now. Thank you. I've tried to mend The love that ended Long ago although we still pretend Our love is surely coming to an end Don't waste the time you've got to love again We tried to lie But you and I Know better than to let each other lie The thought of lying to you makes me cry Counting up the time that's passed us by I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand And if it does I hope that you will understand That I must leave in a while And though I smile You know the smile is only there to hide What I'm really feeling deep inside Just a face where I can hang my pride Goodbye Goodbye We'll talk of places that we went And times that we have spent Together penniless and free You'll see the day another way And they could put the sunshine for a nighttime where you lay You're love began I don't know when But if you do I know that you'll be happy in the end
Thank you kindly. These guys were some of greatest of all time -- I'm only trying to emulate their greatness. I appreciate the kind words and your thoughtful comment.
@Kyle Moore I was listening to ELP’s “ The Three Fates” tonight. The middle section, Lachesis, is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes in some of it. Can you play that?
ELP, particularly Keith, adapted many classical pieces to become their own.. was this one inspired by a particular classical composer?? Beautiful performance Kyle
Lovely! Now your next challenge is to mic that piano better. I'm listening on a really good sound system and your playing is beautiful and expressive, but that Steinway has lost its lower register.
I was waiting for this part czcams.com/video/mbTVIpN5zeM/video.html but it never materialised. I can see why, cuz it's fearsome difficult to convey on a solo piano ...
Very good point. I decided to just do the first part of Trilogy, the grand piano section. I do have the sheet music for the rest of the song, and seeing the video you linked to makes me realize it's totally possible to do it on grand piano. Someday I will make a new video where I play the entire thing! Thank you for the inspiration 👊

It's almost good. Too much key dynamics are absent. You are not allowing the note sustain to work and ring out. It is NO WAY close to the studio recording. Emerson accented more of the treble notes. This lack luster performance gets a C + . Put some effort and work into this piece and you will bring out the acoustic brilliance. So, this was a good, first-pass, attempt. Sorry.

Amen, Michael
Wow, fantastic job. I'm a 64 year old ELP fan that teared up hearing this.
Thank you Matt! 😭

Great to see someone keeping Keith's spirit alive....thanks for posting !
Oh thank you for listening. We need more people like you to appreciate this music!
Just beautiful.

Wow. Thank you for the kind words 👊
Вечная музыкальная тема, а пианист умница. Так держать.
Just subscribed and I feel like singing now. Thank you.
I've tried to mend
The love that ended
Long ago although we still pretend
Our love is surely coming to an end
Don't waste the time you've got to love again
We tried to lie
But you and I
Know better than to let each other lie
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
Counting up the time that's passed us by
I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
And if it does I hope that you will understand
That I must leave in a while
And though I smile
You know the smile is only there to hide
What I'm really feeling deep inside
Just a face where I can hang my pride
Goodbye
Goodbye
We'll talk of places that we went
And times that we have spent
Together penniless and free
You'll see the day another way
And they could put the sunshine
for a nighttime where you lay
You're love began I don't know when
But if you do I know that
you'll be happy in the end
Fantastic !!!!!!!!! Yes, we miss them very much !
😢
Omg , beautiful
So much addiction / devotion - one of my most favorite songs and so perfectly performed !

Well-done! Nice and unique interpretation.
I liked it. I find there's a good balance between delivering the original sound and giving the piece a personal touch. Cheers!
Thank you Riccardo - that is a solid compliment! Always striving to honor the spirit of the original while doing my own thing :)

Thank you kindly, Luc
ELP, particularly Keith, adapted many classical pieces to become their own.. was this one inspired by a particular classical composer?? Beautiful performance Kyle
I'm not sure about that, Tim. But thank you for checking out my version!
Keith Emerson composed this song
Lovely! Now your next challenge is to mic that piano better. I'm listening on a really good sound system and your playing is beautiful and expressive, but that Steinway has lost its lower register.
Y a encore du boulot mec
Where can i get transcriptions of Keith Emerson solos?
I would try musicnotes.com first
I was waiting for this part

How are you going top that one😂
Don't know if it's possible 😂
Guy looks like he's got indigestion ..
🤮🤢
Brilliant song played in a ludicrously affected way by a narcissist.
you got me
Bad timing ..
Just waiting for your video to show us all how it should be played !
The Official Sheet Music says 'Free Time'

Why? For me it sounds great.
Pessimo

I got some practicing to do!
