Oppenheimer - Can You Hear The Music (Piano Version)
Piano Version by Patrik Pietschmann

Many of you asked for it, now you get it! "Can You Hear The Music" is the most interesting track from the new Oppenheimer soundtrack by Ludwig Göransson and could also be seen as the Main Theme. While this musical piece is very short and consists of a constantly repeating run (right hand in this case), the biggest challenge is the total of 21 tempo changes, which is why I practiced and recorded the arrangement with a click track. Since the right hand is already reserved for the run, which is played by the violins in the original, the left hand is responsible for melody, accompaniment patterns and bass notes at the same time. My goal was to write a playable piano arrangement that would still remain true to the musical character of the original. To do this, I had to adjust a few tempos, though I maintain the basic rules by which the tempo changes in the original. The upward moving first half of the run is in a ratio of 1.0:1.3 to the downward moving second half, which means that the second half is always 1.3 times faster than the first half. In addition, the overall tempo increases by 10 bpm after each completed run in the original. I adjusted it so that it only increases by 5 bpm at some points in the middle of the piece, so as not to end up in an unplayable tempo at the end. I hope you like it!

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

I don't think alot realize just how difficult this piece is. It's not that it's fast its that its time continuously changes in such a short span. You sir, have immaculate talent.

An Unbelievable amazing job again!! You never disappoint! It was incredible hearing you match all 21 tempo changes in this song! Thanks for being such a great inspiration for all of us

[AlphaMohid]

NO WAY!! I was literally waiting for this, like "Is Patrik ever gonna make a cover for this soundtrack?" And you actually did. It was good and you never disappoint. Good job Patrik!♥️

What. A. Masterpiece.

When it's a Patrik Pietschmann arrangement, you know it's going to be good!

[killahasbigrpk]

As much as I think the original compositions are absolute masterpieces in every way. Pls never stop making these arrangements. You’re one of the only musicians I know whi can translate the feeling if the original pieces to piano, and still give your own unique twist on each one

[nerdalert]

When I was listening to this masterpiece, it reminded me of how the piano is the only instrument that can simulate an entire orchestra. Truly the superior instrument

[omarniazi]

Literally the gold standard for all soundtrack covers. Thank you for making our day better Patrick❤

For me Patrick is the best pianist on YouTube just because he feels, hears and then delivers to us not only the overall vibe of composition, but also all these nuances and details in harmony, melody, tempo, dynamic and the bunch of other stuff that music includes. He just does it so well and also makes it sound like solid, complete and all-sufficient composition.

[Yurialdantas]

The right hand notes make THE GOLDEN RATIO !!! Outstanding!!

[Naribon]

Ich finde es jedes mal wieder erstaunlich, wie es dir gelingt, die Stimmung des Originals so gut einzufangen.
Ich wünsche dir ein gutes Wochenende!

[samuelrau]

Can we appreciate that he put a finger number on every fucking note in the sheet music? That’s awesome!

[minecraftskygirl]

SO cool!!! You always do amazing job!!

Patrik, I've been looking forward to you posting this because you're the best at playing movie scores on the piano. You keep the original feel of the music while adding your own awesome style. Your arrangement is fantastic – perfect 10/10.

I was literally listening to the original to do some work when I saw this notification; great work as usual! Still have no clue how you've captured so much movement and dynamic range with just two hands.

A lovely piece by Goransson, and I'm definitely gonna have this on loop to work soon!

Cheers!

[MrLoverman]

21 different tempo changes, my respect for you is out of this world, I have no idea how you can play such a complex piece, I can only hope to be as skilled as you one day

[ythunter]

Only Patrik can make a piano cover and still capture the exact feeling of listening to the original. Amazing.

I'VE WAITED FOR THIS FOR LITERALLY 10, 000 YEARS! THANK YOU!
