X-Men: First Class - Main Theme (Piano Version)
Piano Version by Patrik Pietschmann

This time I wanted to dedicate myself to a film composer whose music I had not played before. Henry Jackman is best known for his soundtracks to various Marvel productions, such as "Captain America" or "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier". However, my favorite soundtrack by him is "X-Men: First Class". The main theme consists of only 5 chords that repeat every 8 bars. Step by step, more and more voices and instruments are added. At the same time, the opening pattern runs through the entire track. A similar composition principle can also be found in the music of "Interstellar" or "Inception". Personally, I like this simplicity in the chord progression, the patterns, the swelling build-up and especially the catchy main theme. I did my best to implement this on the piano and hope you like my version!

Any suggestions for future arrangements? Please leave them in the comments.

I don't know if this is worth to say, but your feeling for rhythm is unbelievable!

This is great! I feel like this movie and its score are often overlooked, but I think it is one of the best superhero scores of the 21st century. Also, this cover is incredibly accurate. Throughout the entire arrangement, it sounded as much like the original track as one can with just one instrument. Great work yet again!

[emperorpalps]

Speechless, I don't know how you manage to sustain all those different rhythm patterns at once. You are a legend

Bro I use to rewatch Magneto trying to pull out the submarine scene and this piece of yours just brought the whole 2011 back 😢

Henry Jackman's First Class, Taking A Stand and Louisiana Hero are some of the best themes in film! Great work as always!

I was only able to do my version by overlaying that horn main melody with strings as I simply could never manage to fit it in amongst the other parts which you've somehow managed to pull off here lol, but bringing that horn melody out is not easy and I'm sure that was the biggest challenge when you were creating this arrangement... Very underrated piece of music too.

X-Men: First Class main theme song is the most anticipated soundtrack ever!

[priyanshudubey]

as your magic doesn't fade your arrangements are always perfect and beautiful at the same time ❤️

I think these "build-up-Themes" are especially hard to manage on the piano, but you did it beautifully once again!
By the way, have you thought about arranging ‘Star Sky’ by TSFH? I think it’s a major, melodic title of Thomas Bergersen you haven’t dedicated a video to yet. I’d love to hear your arrangement of it!
Best wishes :)

"First class".... The way ur fingers goes by with so much ease while playing is mind blowing!! Your arrangements are always joy to hear.

This was a nice surprise to wake up to. Wonderful arrangement as always!

X-Men: First Class might be the best X-Men movie because of the Characters, Writing, Score, Direction, and also bring back the comic book roots with the style, and the yellow suits

[AlsoMrTardoss]

I appreciate you doing this sountrack, X-Men: First Class is probably one of the first film i've ever watched. This brings nostaglia :)
Happy to hear your arrangement which is (as always) on point.
Me and Magda really like your merch by the way :)

Have a nice day ! :)

I can clearly see Eric crying and moving the sat, good work

[nubianfx]

My brother said this.. no matter how good or bad the xmen films are ( this is definitely a great one), youre always going to get a fantastic soundtrack and score.

[miamilamiw]

The best OST piano rendition from the best X-Men movie

[rebeccamooney]

Ah this song just filled my heart with so much joy! It really takes me back to a happier time.

[washed-up]

Wonderful as always Patrik…you‘re arrangements are so unique. Every single one of them.
Greetings from Germany :)

Considering that this was built for strings, you've done an absolutely masterful job blending it for the ivories. Amazing, amazing job - well done indeed.

[saba]

I've always wanted to hear this theme on piano and especially in the way you write it. Great job Patrick!!!
