Hikaru Nara (classical medley) / Your Lie in April OP / Piano Cover by HalcyonMusic

Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/YTHalcyonMusic My cover of "Hikaru Nara", the opening song from Your Lie in April. I've decided to try something different by adding classical music elements to this cover. As a classically trained pianist, I've known almost all of the classical pieces before watching the show. I really admire the effort that A-1 Pictures has put into the animation, staying true to how a pianist's fingers move in a real performance. The cherry on top is Chopin's Ballade No. 1. It's been my favourite classical piece even before I started watching anime. Hearing it in the final episode put me in the verge of tears. In this cover I've made reference to eight classical pieces featured in the show: 1:21 Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor: subtle hints of the 1st theme and interlude. 1:34 Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata, 1st theme (arpeggios) and parts of the 2nd theme (major scales). 1:46 Beethoven's "Kreutzer" Violin Sonata, the piece that Kaori plays in episode 2. The left hand is a variation of the piano accompaniment in the sonata. At 1:56 the right hand adds a short phrase that was played by the violin. 2:25 Chopin's "Winter Wind" Etude (25-11). The right hand plays the theme while the left hand reproduces the chromatic descent. 2:32 Chopin's "Torrent" Etude (10-4): the theme repeated several times in different pitches. 2:41 Saint-Saen's Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, excerpt from the end of the exposition. 2:46 Kreisler-Rachmaninoff "Liebeslied", the piece that's tied to Arima's mother in the show, though here I've played it in an entirely different style. 2:58 Echoing Chopin's Ballade No. 1 once again by using 6/4 time and referencing the climax in the middle of the piece. 3:23 While the right hand plays Chopin's "Wrong Note" Etude (25-5), the left hand plays the chorus in triple meter. 4:04 Left hand transposes Chopin's "Revolutionary" Etude (10-12).
