Everything Piano | Piano Sheet Music

I’m going to share with you a video I found a few months ago, of two extremely talented musicians. It’s a pretty popular video, all over Google and YouTube. Pianist John Schmidt is my hero. Not to mention, piano and cello harmonies are my favourite. Both instruments complement each other so incredibly beautifully, and you’ll be amazed at the sound that comes from these two instruments when they’re played together.

Not only that, but I never thought I’d ever be such a big fan of music from Taylor Swift, nor Coldplay. Incredibly, piano arrangements of popular songs can sound a hundred times more amazing than the original pop song.

I love how the Cellist (Steven Sharp Nellson) really establishes beat of the piece, moves into more of a harmonization between both instruments. The bridge of “Love Story” is delivered beautifully, before returning to the original chorus and structure of the song, and then the piece almost builds up a sort of climax, as the piano delivers an amazing and extravagant set of chord progressions while the cello plays one of the corresponding chorus melodies.

With the common rhythm aspects between the two songs (Viva La Vida by Coldplay and Love Story by Taylor Swift), the entire performance drifts smoothly into the second song (Viva La Vida). I’m more of a fan of the Love Story arrangement because I feel like its more creative in comparison to the original song and the melodies and bass are more distinct in relation to when they move into the Coldplay song.

Also, as they move into Viva La Vida, they decided to add the whole sort of lyrical verse, “Ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh ohhhh oh,” and so on. There are also some other instruments that I can hear in background, such as such more percussion and even perhaps other string instruments.

All in all, this is an absolute masterpiece, a true work of art. I’ve watched it over and over again because I just can’t get enough of it. I have been teaching myself some Talyor Swift arrangements on the piano (Love Story and also Teardrops on My Guitar) but they are not ready at all, unfortunately. I’m thinking of purchasing the piano sheet music from John Schmidt’s website, but I’m afraid it won’t sound nearly as good without the harmonization of the cello.

Elise’S Musical Tip For The Day:

Watch this video! I hope it inspires you in some sort of musical and artistic way. Sometimes, I just completey adore popular arrangements. If they are built with a lot of variations and chord progressions, they usually sound extraordinary.
