Star Wars - Duel of the Fates (Piano Version) 

At my old high school we had a blind kid who would get to school early in the morning and play the piano in the auditorium. (It wasn’t really allowed but the music teacher didn’t say anything and let it happen every day because she heard him play) we planned a “surprise” for him and about 75 of us were sitting in the auditorium silent as can be so he didn’t know we were there (he assumed nobody at school knew he could play the piano) and he played Duel of the Fates and it was almost as FLAWLESS as your performance. All of us were jaw dropped and when he finished we all were applauding and yelling and it scared him pretty bad and he started crying. His words were “playing is the only thing that makes me feel like I still have my sight” he’s currently going to UC Berkeley in California for music! Hopefully we will have another Stevie Wonder in a few years ❤️

It's over Anakin, Patrik has the high ground.

As a piano player myself, I have only one question... "Is it possible to learn this power?"

My mum came into my room and said - oh I didn't know you listened to classical music I just looked at her and said - yes, classical music

And here we have General Grievous playing the piano.

“He... is the chosen one. He will bring balance to the piano” To John Williams: “Train the boy”

Anakin: And it's possible to learn this song? Palpatine: Not from a human.

for the people that don't play the piano and watch this guy play, i don't think you understand how hard this song is and how freaking good a piano player this guy is

Its funny that Duel of the Fates is such a high energy piece that it generates hype all on its own but on the piano it almost sounds sad at times. Like its tell a tale of tragedy or fall from grace.

Duel of the Fates is probably one of the best cinematic scores ever.

This song has more emotion than the entire sequel trilogy.

It’s like each hand has its own personality

Pick mode: Easy Medium Hard *general grievous*

“May the chords be with you”

George: “alright John gimme a cool song for a cool fight” John: creates an anthem more powerful than any Jedi could dream to be* “this good?”

I love how one side is blue (light), and the other is red (dark). Then, in the middle, is purple (balance). Artfully done ✅

It's actually really easy to play If you have, like, five hands, give or take a few fingers

Duel of the Fates is a MASTERPIECE

Me trying to learn all the Star Wars songs: aye this ain’t to hard Finds this one: oh shit

"That sounded really good." "It did, didn't it? ... It did, didn't it." "You're ok?" "IT DID DIDN'T IT ... IT DID DIDN'T IT ...IT DID DIDN'T IT ...IT DID DIDN'T IT ..."

"The Dark Side of The Force is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be.. unnatural."

You know I’ve been going to piano classes for a while now and I swear one day I’ll play this song exactly like he does and will attach a link. Like this comment every once in a while so that I don’t forget

I supposed to be doing homework rn, but I'm watching patrik. Should probably get back to homework. :)

That was the best piano version of this song I've ever heard!

The Force is strong with this one.

the midi chordians are higher than ever recorded

The force is strong with this one...

“You are in this orchestra, but we do not grant you the rank of master pianist.”

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your hand-eye coordination? Patrick: Yes.

- Scared Potter? - You wish! wait wrong movie

I keep coming back to this arrangement over and over because it is so masterfully done. Your skill combined with John Williams’ genius composition is simply awe inspiring. Wish we had more composers like him making pieces for films.

That's actually incredibly impressive. The sheer number of notes at once

Everyone making references to Anakin vs Obi-Wan but lets not forget my man Qui-Gon

Imagine if real pianos started GLOWING like this when people were nailing notes but didn’t glow if you were playing a song wrong... then you see Patrik playing in public one day and the piano is just sparkling

The left hand accompaniment is just astonishing. I would never be able to play it so masterfully. Well done!

Songwritter: a piano master cannot learn this power.. General Grievious:can a cyber-human synthesizer master learn it? Songwritter: where did you get your four arms? G. Grivevious: being piano master was bored

“Is it possible to learn this power” “Not from a piano Jedi”

When the two smart kids have different answers:

Who would even dislike this?! Duel of the fates is a piece of art with so much detail, and this man right here is amazing.

Anyone else watch these videos and just imagine themselves playing it in front of their class?

Songwriter: This is a two person job. Each using both arms required. I mean Who can SOLO? General Grievous: Hold my lightsabers

Earlier this morning, I was looking for duel of the fates, then I see this one by notification🤯 My brain blows up at the first notes as usual☕️👌🏽

This performance brought a tear to my eye so beautiful and mesmerising in so many ways thank you Darth pianist

Chilling. Gave me goosebumps.

*The force is strong in this one.*

How much of the duel of the fates can you play? Patrick: yes

Patrick, I really love your playing. You play the piano with your soul. You are a great piano artist. You are underrated.

me and my brother are extreme starwars fans and this was our favorite song out the entire starwars soundtracks, you played this song beutifully, its amazing how this song was played by an entire orchestra and you played it on one introment and it still sounded as great, well done mate well done

3:34 is of the best piano moments ever

Remember a jedi can feel the force flowing through him. You mean it controls your actions? Partially, but it also obeys your commands.

I've been a Star Wars Fan for about 15 Years now (probably because i discovered it, when I was 5) and I must say this piano play is the best Cover that I have ever heard and seen! Thank you for such an Masterpiece. Its a fine addition to the Star Wars Fandom and it will not be forgotten. So you m8 something that even my kids will later hear (probably because I force them, but thats not important here ;D). Thank you.

This was by far the best piece of music in all of the Star Wars soundtracks. Change my mind

"Eh I'll check it out for a few seconds" *Five minutes and seven seconds later "JESUS CHRIST"

This is an amazing arrangement, just as usual.

This video: gets 69k likes Everyone: "he will bring balance to the force."

Lord Patrick! Teach me the ways of pianist. I shall not fail you master!!!

Holy shit. I knew the piano was a stand alone instrument but my god this really shows it. One pair of hands made a damn fine version of a Star Wars orchestra and choir piece! Respect. And maybe get some ice on those hands from time to time lol

Me: sees like to dislike ratio Me: I love democracy

It's beautiful, it's an absolute masterpiece, this deserves an award, it's both a banger and a melody in one.

"My allegiance is to the republic... TO DEMOCRACY!"

The forte is strong with this one.

The 307 people who hit dislike were supposed to hit like But they have stromtrooper aim

"A surprise to sure, but a welcome one." What a clever technique, you managed to pull it off very well.

I can’t tell you how happy this makes me.

Entire orchestra: **plays duel of the fates One man with a piano: *aha no*

Me:What's your favorite sport Friends: BaseBall, Basketball etc. What about you? Me: Pod Racing

You play it so much better than other people and the piece is significantly harder than other arrangements very good job

I play this on my guitars and my recorder/flute. It's one of my favorite songs to play. Now I need to lean piano. Thanks. You earned a subscriber.

i dont think john williams has ever made a bad score i his career, absolute genius

*Its over Anakin, I have the H I G H N O T E S*

Masterpiece, I can say each time I listen to this...

Wow - fantastic! Great job. That's probably my favorite peice of music from Star Wars and your rendition is awesome.

Nobody: Patrik pietschmann in my recommended: *Hello there*

Ladies and gentlemen, the RU-vid algorithm has brought us together again.

Train the boy, he is the chosen one. Patrik is the chosen one, he will bring balance to the force, he will bring peace to the galaxy.

This is my favourite piece of you're covers... So amazing, just beautiful and perfect!

-People: You can't play duel of the fates with just two hands! -Patrik Pietschmann: Hold my lightsaber!

He uses the force to influence his hands with such precision to create Music.

Absolutely incredible

This is the greatest I've ever witnessed.

Somehow this seems even more epic than the original. I didn’t think that was even possible.

0:37 Left Hand: Here let me help you out, right hand

really makes you appreciate all the little notes

this song will go down in legends as a masterpiece

Patrik!!! You ARE the entire symphony!!! My brain is on fire! Simply amazing....your play is masterful, quick, fluid, dexterous and very emotional! Loved your arrangement and attack on the keys. Loved the thundering bass line and your crossover work is great to watch, too. You just don't miss a beat and even John Williams himself would give you a nod! Your channel is so fantastic! BRAVO! ~Jackie

It’s over, he has the high notes

This track awakens very different kind of feelings every time I hear it.

This song puts you in a different kind of mood and almost makes you cry Good job Patrick!

Play at 1.25x for true speed.

I cant even imagine having skill like this. Bloody amazing. The visuals were beautiful as well.

this is incredible

This will make a fine addition to my playlist

"Hmmm, the Patrik Pietschmann upload i see, the like i must." - Yoda

“I have an army.” “We have the force.”
