Nobuo Uematsu – To Zanarkand

A few months ago, I still visited a forum of a mmorpg that I had played a few years earlier. On that forum I posted the link to the first video that I made (La Dispute). One guy responded with something like: “I liked your video, but you will be my hero if you play To Zanarkand from Final Fantasy”. I never played Final Fantasy and I hadn’t heard the music either. Coincidentally, I had acces to the music a month or so later and I fell in love with the song at once. It didn’t sound to complicated to learn, but it turned out to be harder than I thought. I’m not really experienced on the piano yet; learning new songs is a hard and difficult process. I think it took me about 4 weeks to learn the song; I learn all the songs I play out of my head, because I can’t watch the sheet music and my hands at the same time…Furthermore, I’m not experienced in reading the notes from the basscleff, because I started out on clarinet and I’m thus experienced in reading the G-cleff. Despite all the hardships, I loved learning this song and I still enjoy playing it.

  1. I really love how you play.
    I’m just starting to learn how to play the piano and I always wanted to learn this song. I too have problems reading the sheet music and would rather memorize the song.
    But I can’t play this one very well. It’s hard to figure out the keys to press and the cordination… Let’s just say that Im not that good!
