Did you know that Hans Zimmer wrote this piece after reading only one page of the script, where Cooper says goodbye to Murph? He didn’t know the genre or the story anything. He just made something incredibly heartfelt about a promise from a father to his daughter, and in that he managed to capture so much more.

"I'm gonna learn it" *This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years*

To me...the ability for a human to write something such as this...is truly, truly amazing.

3 years ago i started playing piano because of this song, to be more specific, this exact video.. Today i can finally say that i can play 100% of this song, thank you Patrik!

A masterpiece of a score by Zimmer. A masterpiece of a film by Nolan. A masterpiece of a cover by Pietschmann.

It's 4:58 AM in the morning. Couldn't sleep. So, here's to a stranger talking about her life. Interstellar has been a life changing movie for myself. I remember I watched it when I was 16, on my own in the cinema. I had no friends during my school years to friendly explain how amazing this movie was because they perceived me as a weirdo who want to watch and dedicate 3 hours 'confusing' movie. The soundtrack--First Step by Hans Zimmer, has been one of many things I played on my phone until this very day. When I found this video, I couldn't stop playing this soundtrack on all of my music platforms for, I think, more than a year now since the pandemic started. It's because of this video too that I decided to buy a piano exactly the same as yours a month ago to learn. Not for anyone, but for myself as a goal. I tried to merge my work schedule while learning this piece to always keep going with my life and days that feels like torture with my depression. I am on the 3 out of 7 pages of your music sheet today. There are some spots that are still tough for someone who never touched a piano before, but I am very determined. It's like, whenever I played this video on my earphone or my speaker, my mind is at ease. It's just me, and the infinite time of darkness and space. I played guitar all my teenage years, becoming an adult with this music makes me able to cope with my piano, at least for a while. Thank you. I will let you know when I am done learning this. It should be soon, hopefully.

Had the privilege of seeing this performed live by Hans himself. It was incredibly moving, and once the song finished, all 22,000 people in the crowd sat dead silent, all you could hear was the air-conditioning, with the crowd finally erupting in applause when he stood and bowed.

It’s been a month and a half since I started learning this piece, I’m now to the more tricky part at 2:25 and really I can’t wait the moment I’ll know the whole song, and play it to my friends and family. That’s what I wish for. I’ll be so happy reading this comment when I’ll finish this masterpiece..

5 years ago i came here and listened to this masterpiece and wished i could play it like this, today i can proudly say that i still don't know how to play it..see you again in 5 years guys.

[June, 2023] It's been 9 years since Interstellar was released. Means only 1.2 hours of time passed on Planet Miller

When you realize that it’s been like 50 minutes in the miller planet since this movie has been released...wow

I have done it. three years ago, I watched this video thinking I could never ever play this. However, I gave it a try. it Took me lots of patience and practice to learn it. Eventually, I got the hang of it, And I played it in my high school graduation party. Never been so proud of myself .thank you Patrick.

"Nobody believed me, but I knew you'd come back." "How?" "Because my dad promised me." 🥺🥺

One day, one day I will play this piece perfectly. To my future self, if you did it, I'm so proud of you.

"Learning this is impossible!" "No. *It's necessary* ."

I cried man. I cried.

For everyone trying to learn. I started playing piano 3 months ago with the sole goal of learning this, It’s all straight forward up to arpeggios, once you get there play it super slow, 1 note every 3 seconds if you have to, but in time you will get it normal speed and even faster, I played the arpeggios everyday for 3 months and I can thankfully say after about 20,000 runs of the arpeggios I can FINALLY PLAY THIS, the ending arpeggios took a solid 2 weeks to learn, practicing everyday for 2-3 hours. Starting from scratch never playing piano (played guitar hero expert through the fire and flames and got 93% so was good with finger scales). PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE AND YOU WILL GET IT. BEST OF LUCK HOPE THIS INSPIRES.

0:10 Okay this seems manageable to learn! 1:00 Alright, alright, alright! 2:25 Saying goodbye to all my other hobbies and free time. 3:51 Yeah, maybe I'll just watch and enjoy this instead...

The sentence of Interstellar said:*The love is only thing we are capable of perceiving that tracends the dimensions of time and space*

Interstellar was truly one of the greatest movies of all time

To any amateur who wants to learn this: *DO IT* I've learned this in about 2 months, 3 months to play it smoothly, no piano experience, cant read sheets, about 2h every other day. The part at 2:39 might look scary at first, but after a day or 2 (about 6h total) you will get it into muscle memory and play it without needing to look at your left hand at all.

Here's a fact It's not possible to listen to this masterpiece only one time

Piano is so much more impressive when you see the purple coming down, that is so much to memorise

1:47 - level - Easy 2:01 - level - Medium 2:25 - level - Hard 3:52 - level - Patrik

To everyone who wants to learn this, do it. It really seems a lot harder than it is, you will find it hard at first (if you are new to piano) but just practice. at one point you will have it in your muscle memory, then you can start improving it more and more... its really not that hard. Only thing that still holds you back from learning this is you cuz you are lazy.

-It is not possible. -No, it's necessary.

This is by far the most perfect piano version of this music. It captures all the emotional qualities of the film.

Me: i wanna play this My hands: thats impossible Me: no, its necessary

My brain: I need to learn this My hands: It is not possible My brain: No it‘s necessary

this movie alone was what got me into the field of astrophysics and gave me motivation to pursue a PhD in Astrophysics

anytime i watch this movie i cry so hard, this song is so impactful in a way i didn't know i needed.

"nobody believed me, but i knew you'd come back" "how? " "because my dad promised me"

To a normal human who has never seen Interstellar, this'd be just a normal melody. But to a human who's seen Interstellar, this is not just a melody.

I play this song every time I drive my truck through a corn field.

FINALLY LEARNT THIS MASTERPIECE 😭😭🤌🏻

I understand people all the credits to Hans Zimmer, obviously he's an AMAZING composer, but we have to thank Patrik Pietschman too for a FANTASTIC arrangement. Great job both of you guys!

one day I'll play this masterpiece i swear on my life , and I'll be back to congratulate myself.

Mom: Stop that Me: Learning the song Mom:You’re a beginner... Its not possible! Me:No… It’s necessary!

🎉 If your watching this as of 2024 then like this comment 1:09

My father and I used to listen to Hans Zimmer‘s absolute masterpiece. My father passed away 3 years ago and everytime i hear this song I feel a deep connection. Thank you for this. There are no words to express my gratitude.

Absolutely love how the song starts off unassumingly simple and progressively gets more complex. Almost like a space mission that starts out smoothly but slowly starts to unravel and fall apart. Love it.

Back here as I need something to do learn during quarantine. Anyone else?

There's nothing difficult about this song. A person with 4 arms would learn easily.

As someone who’s spent ages learning this, I can assure you this piece feels as good underneath your fingers as it sounds

I will never get tired of saying that Interstellar is a masterpiece

We're all lucky to be living in the time of Hans Zimmer, the genius

Took me about 9 months to learn this fully, I started from very little knowledge in piano, so if anyone decides to learn this it should take about that long if you practice a decent amount :) was really fun to learn as this version is honestly the best one

“I knew you’d come back” “How?” “because my dad promised me” “Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space...” :’)

i am working on this since october 2016. just 2-3 per week, for 20-30 minutes.. now I can play till 02:25 *proud And I'm going on!!

2016 - I cried 2017 - I cried 2018 - I cried 2019 - I cried 2020- we cried 2021- still crying :( !

Hans Zimmer is a gift to modern society. Patrik Pietschmann is as well.

Oh gosh I almost forgot to listen to this today.

This is exactly why I pay for internet.

I watched this movie for the first time yesterday and it was surreal. I don’t know how to describe how I felt after finishing it. It was incredible

This world need for Simeone like you, cause you make the difference here. You're special

How can the human mind just come up with such creativity.

The chord progression sounds like it never wants to end. There isn't a great way to end it, as It wants to continue forever, just like the universe. I think that is extremely deep and beautiful. Amazing soundtrack.

Who is watching this masterpiece in 2024 hit the like button ❤

He’s better at playing piano than I am at breathing

September 2024 anyone

"Those aren't mountains.....they're waves....." That has to be one of the most spine-tingling lines in sci-fi history.

“Nobody believed me, but I knew you’d come back” “How?” “Because my dad promissed me”

This should be played during the ending credits of Earth

I have been listening to this masterpiece for a couple of years now. It relaxes & refreshes my mind every time I listen.

And to think Hans Zimmer came up with most of these notes within one day, after reading a 1 page script Chris Nolan had given him about a father leaving his daughter and assuming it was gonna be a family drama...only to be told that it was for a space-exploration science fiction movie. ALL HAIL HANS ZIMMER!

It has become a tradition for me where i watch this video at least once a month.

The movie is emotional to me. Even the music makes me teary :'( I love it though

who is watching this everyday in 2024 ❤

You sir, are talented.

Didn't expect to stay the whole time... Watched it twice

When you break it down, piece by piece, it's simple and so beautiful. Yet I fear, it pains me to know this little maneuver is going to cost me years to learn and I don't want to wait.

Never touched a piano in my life before I saw this video. After 18 months of practicing I can say i've mastered this. Can't play anything else though lol

Who else is watching this from the fifth dimension while watching earlier versions of themselves watching this in bed?

"Towards those mountains." "Those aren't mountains...they're waves."

one of the few movies you wish you could watch again for the first time

Do you know how you realize music feels? When you hear things like this and you feel a knot in your chest and you don't know why? A 5 min video can take you many places if it is as well played as this. I am in the process of wanting to start or not and these videos only motivate me

Eye : See? Brain : Yes. Looks easy. Isnt it hand? Hand : *prepare to detach.* Brain : uh...

They said it was boring, they said it was too long, they even said that it was science fiction. But damn, this movie will still be the best one on my list for a darn long time, its just so truthful, mysterious, startling and (to our current knowledge) scientifically correct.

"Because my dad promised me." - Murphy Cooper

I think you are my favorite pianist of all time. Everytime i listen to you it makes me want to cry. I literally dropped the drums and have started playing piano because of you. Thank you so much.

Is it just me or when you know about the theme of a movie, it becomes 10x better?

“We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.”

Mankind was born on earth it was never meant to die here. Beautiful!

I started learning this piece 4 years ago. Amateur player and having learned many other pieces in the meantime, some that I found more difficult than this one. However, I still can't get a decent result from 3:20 let alone from 3:51 where I have to admit defeat by the rhythm. An incredible adaptation and interpretation and forever my favorite piece. A big thank you

Truly beautiful

This masterpiece was actually given to us from the 5th dimension as a gift.

Dont let him leave Murph.

Watching and listening to Patrik Pieschman was my inspiration to give up trying to learn to play the piano

I truly love how people are still coming back to hear this masterpiece. It’s a song you can never forget

Seriously, how can someone dislike this video?

I have a sudden Urge to dock to a rotating space station that is entering the atmosphere of a ice planet

I dont comment very often on social media but i think that thiz deserves one absolutely beautiful work

I'm on a business trip and I have probably listened to this 20 times over the past 3 days. It's a fantastic arrangement and played so beautifully.

I have practiced this every day for about a month and I am finally finished learning each note, it is time to perfect everything! Thank you very much!

-Chris Nolan: We gotta make a movie that is better than Inception. Me: It's not possible! -Chris Nolan: No, it's necessary.

I just finished learning this by heart and I literally play it any remote second I feel overwhelmed, only to feel emotionally healed by the end. Also, I have about 5 years of basic piano training and hadn’t touched the instrument in over a decade. But with rigorous practice and self-marking, I was able to nail it in about 4 months so trust yourself if you want to play it! So satisfying at the end to whip this out whenever you want! The scale patterns are pretty linear (and being in C major helps) so if you can find someone to help you mark the notes/fingerings, especially from 2:30 on, you can perfect this piece with self study

This makes me want to learn piano

Played for 9 straight years when I was a kiddo and ditched piano for sports. About to hit 40 and something is calling....the notes and sharpness of a Piano. Cheers to picking it back up! Lets do it.

This a perfect song to play when the world is about to end. EDIT: PLAY THIS SONG NOW!
