This brings back so many memories. I played the exact same arrangement back in the 80s (that's the 1980s for you generation alphas out there). Thank you for playing this so beautifully!

Thanks! I'm glad the piece is still appreciated after all these years. 👍

This is just such a beautiful beautiful song and you do it justice. Many thanks. Many thanks.

This sets the standard for this piece on the KZread. 👏 👏 👏

Amazing dynamic!!!!

thank you , great job

I first listened to a few seconds of someone else having a go, didn't like it, tried this one, listened all the way through, thinking THIS is how it should be played. Thank you. I think I'll have a second listen now.

Beautiful playing. My favourite piano performance of this piece by far. The dynamics and feeling are spot on for me, and evoke the same emotions as listening to John Williams playing it on classical guitar. Thank you for sharing :-)

Alan Fowler Music : You're very welcome, Alan. Your music reaches far and wide! We have a wonderful musical culture here in Hawai'i nei... a great symphony, opera company, concert hall, jazz and blues musicians and clubs, local "Hawai'ian slack key" musicians and singers, of course, and much more. I have loved Stanley Meyers' "Cavatina" since I first heard it decades ago, played by John Williams on guitar, of course. As an amateur pianist, I have learned it pretty well that way, but now I have started to learn your arrangement. Just beautiful. I'm glad that I was at home, rather than in a public place, the first time I watched your video, because the tribute to your Mom and her lovely photo brought tears to my eyes. My own mother was a classically-trained concert pianist and nightclub pianist and singer, and she was my piano teacher. Long gone, now. Memories... 💖🌹

This is such a touching message. Thank you. It's great to hear of the musical culture over there, and perhaps I'll have the chance to experience it first hand one day! If you find the time to share any recordings of your piano playing, I'd love to hear it. Best Wishes, Alan

Thank you for this heartwarming comment! There are lots of music videos on my channel that you can listen to. The styles are rather varied, but I hope they help to give you some sense of peace. The more emotive pieces are Band of Brothers, Aerith's Theme, To Zanarkand, and the covers from Shenmue. I wish you all the best!

Great song ! Is there opportunity to get sheet music ?

Cheers for listening, Gary. As yet, this can't be purchased as I don't have the mechanical license to make it available outside of KZread (you may be able to download it from here using an mp3 downloader). If this changes in future, I can let you know. My BandCamp page is likely the place that it would appear if so. It's here: alanfowler.bandcamp.com/releases. So far it only has the Phantasy Star Piano Collections available, but I will be adding to this throughout the year!

Absolutely no disrespect as it is beautifully played but I would like to hear you render this at a slower tempo as on piano the sentiment is more fully appreciated and received at a gentler cadence.Thank you🙏🏽

Thanks for your comment. No disrespect taken at all. You have a point regarding the tempo. It certainly wouldn't harm the piece for it to be performed a little slower. :)
