The Dark Knight - Main Theme (Piano Version)
Piano Version by Patrik Pietschmann

Hi, my name is Patrik Pietschmann, I'm a keyboard player, arranger and hobby programmer from Germany. Since I am a huge fan of Hans Zimmer, I did an arrangement of the Main Theme from "The Dark Knight" soundtrack. In this video I have tried to combine my live piano playing with the visualization of the music material by programming my own "Synthesia"-like software.

I have created a new visual effect that fades in the music notes. The best way to enjoy it is to watch the video in the dark.

Please subscribe to my channel if you like the video! :-)

He's the Pianist Gotham Deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So We'll watch him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our Hero. he's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Piano Knight.

“Through action, a man becomes a hero
Through death, a hero becomes a legend
Through time a legend becomes a myth
And by learning from the myth a man takes action” -Inception

Your arrangements are absolutely stunning man. It's amazing how well you incorporate all of the melodies and harmonies.

[sarahgiggles]

Somehow you captured the entire orchestra in two hands. That's magical. Such a beautiful arrangement

[FlameszYT]

I think it would honestly be easier for me to become Batman then to learn this!

[Anamnesis]

Me: "I've listened to this so many times, yet I've never said thank you."
Patrik: "And you'll never have to."

[irishpickens]

It's not the notes I read, but how I PLAY that defines me.

[criticalangle]

The way he builds the tension at 5:30 is incredible. Best part of the entire song.

Nolan + Zimmer = Best films ever been with the best music

[aravindmadhavan]

This may literally be amongst the most beautiful things I have heard in my life. It is someone else's original composition, but the feel, dynamics and the sheer skill needed to make this is incredible. It alternates between violence and beauty. I just can't express how beautiful this is. Very few instrumentals move me to tears, this is one of them... Thank you..

[Sv]

I became your fan after watching interstellar and now this. Bro you're too good

[pierrelecelibataire]

5:10 - 5:20 - Chills. Every. Time. The whole arrangement from start to finish is just incredible.

[abdulrahimshihabuddin]

Me: You don't owe these subscribers anymore, you've given them everything.


Patrik: Not everything.... Not yet..

[BSingh-onqr]

Like the typical Indian/Asian child, I was made to play piano since I was like 3-4 years old and then I stopped playing when I was like 13 or 14 to focus on school. I used to hate practising and would only do it because my parents wanted me to. After not playing for like 6 years, and after getting interested in movie and tv show soundtracks over the years, and after seeing channels like this, I'm finally inspired to start playing again, but this time, out of my own natural interest, with no pressure.
I'm nowhere near the level need to play this song yet, but I'll start with something simpler until I'm ready.

Thank you Patrik Pietschmann.

2:14 Those left hand notes though!! Makes a really nice sound to play it that way. Sounds so dynamic.

[luisgraca]

4:54 - 5:11 that left hand thumb voicing hits different 🔥

Listening to this I realize that this really does fit the themes and messages from the dark knight. (Duh it’s the theme). But there are moments where control and uniformity are immediately follows by moments of chaos, rebellion in dissonance and key switches. It’s amazing what music can portray.

[lucashorwitz]

To everyone wanting to play this masterpiece, I can confirm it can be done. For years I listened to this gorgeous composition wishing with everything in me to play like he does. It’s taken YEARS to learn this level of skill and even yet it’s a fraction of what Patrik has but I’m Finnaly on my way with learning it and I can’t remember the last time I was so happy. Thank you for Patrik for helping my dreams come true, and to anyone else out there wanting to play this but not sure if they can, keep trying, if I can do it, you can too.
