About me

Magnus Baumgartl is a professional pianist from Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Since his childhood, he has successfully captivated his audience with his sensitive and unique piano playing.

 

Magnus received his first piano lessons at the age of eight at his local music school. During his youth, he mostly learned piano in a self-taught manner until pianist Miho Imada prepared him for the entrance exam for music university after completing his Abitur. Since October 2019, Magnus has been studying at the State University of Music in Trossingen, majoring in piano performance under the guidance of Prof. Ákos Hernádi and piano pedagogy with Mechthild Großmann. Numerous master classes, including with Prof. Noam Sivan (piano improvisation) and Prof. Thomas Hell (piano), as well as active self-study in all areas of music history, theory, and pedagogy, complete his musical education.

 

Magnus has accumulated many years of performance experience and numerous successful concerts. With over 10 million video views on YouTube, his music has international appeal. Magnus regularly performs for Hapag Lloyd cruises on their exclusive luxury cruise ships and travels the world with his music.

Repertoire

As a classically trained pianist, my deepest passion and dedication lie in the realm of classical music. The works of great masters such as Bach, Mozart, and Chopin are for me more than just notes on the sheet; they are stories, impressions, and expressions of profound emotions and artistic finesse.

 

However, my music extends far beyond the boundaries of classical music. In my repertoire, you will find a rich selection that blends the timeless elegance of classical music with the vibrant energy of other genres. From melancholic or energetically swinging jazz standards to captivating pop ballads, and from the powerful chords of rock to the captivating melodies of film music—each piece is an expression of my versatile love for music.

 

In my performances, you can feel the bridge between tradition and modernity when classical mastery meets the freedom of improvisation. It is the connection of the past and the present that makes my playing unique and opens up a new perspective on the piano.

The Most Nostalgic Ghibli Music! One Summer’s Day (Spirited Away, Joe Hisaishi)

The Most Nostalgic Ghibli Music! One Summer’s Day (Spirited Away, Joe Hisaishi)

🎶 One Summer’s Day – One of Joe Hisaishi’s most iconic compositions, featured in the breathtaking Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away. This delicate and emotional theme is one of the most recognizable pieces from Studio Ghibli, beautifully capturing the film’s bittersweet journey. Hisaishi’s composition starts with a soft and reflective melody, gradually building into a sweeping, cinematic piece that embodies Chihiro’s transformation and growth. The piano brings out its full emotional depth, making it a favorite among Ghibli fans. In my arrangement I followed the original‘s structure closely but adapted the piano part so that it is rich in overtones and imitates the orchestra as well as possible. For instance, the melody in the beginning is arranged as 4 voice chords instead of single notes and the left hand accompanies with quartal chords. I also changed the opening chords a bit to my liking, but of course the arrangement can also be played with Hisaishi‘s original chords. ✨ If you love moving film music, I hope you enjoy this heartfelt piano performance! 🎶 Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell 🔔 so you never miss a new piano video!

This Studio Ghibli Piece Feels Like Pure Magic! | Path of the Wind (Totoro)

In today’s video, I perform Path of the Wind from My Neighbor Totoro, composed by Joe Hisaishi. This beautiful and nostalgic piece perfectly captures the magic and innocence of Studio Ghibli’s world, with its flowing melodies and warm harmonies. First introduced in the 1988 film, this theme has since become one of Hisaishi’s most beloved works, evoking a sense of adventure and wonder. In my piano arrangement I tried to maintain the dreamy and magical vibe of the original while including rich harmonies, chords and textures. You‘ll find that I made use of the entire range of the keyboard by crossing over with the left hand several times. I got the main inspiration for my arrangement by Jacob Koller‘s fantastic take on this piece. The sheet music is linked below if you‘re interested! ✨ If you love Studio Ghibli music and Joe Hisaishi’s iconic compositions, I hope you enjoy this heartfelt performance! 🎶 Make sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell 🔔 so you don’t miss my latest piano performances!
