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! :-)
You can now STREAM or DOWNLOAD this track on all major music services, such as Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Apple Music, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal, etc. Here's the link: lnk.to/paZyuU
Finally thanks so much!!!!
And Interstellar theme?
so glad i revisited this video

Chuck is a great guy
You are unbelievable
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.
Comment of the decade👍🏻
Gotham needs him, the DCEU needs him
Zimmer needs no one u pricks😏
Bahaha fucking made my day
Well done

Wow!
Bravo !
This is a stolen comment from a comment under the main theme for the film Inception. Why cant people just be original
Lo Low
Says the guy with a meme as his/her profile pic
And it’s not stolen, it’s used, I felt like this “ quote” goes well with Gotham’s theme so I used it
Amir how does the fact that my profile pic is a meme make ur comment any less stolen? Just shut up and stop taking credit for crap that ain’t yours.
I think it would honestly be easier for me to become Batman then to learn this!
Aight mate, I’m better be mister Fox building the batman suit for you just sound easier.
Than
Ok give me a billion dollars cuz I cant learn this lol

Imagine if Bruce Wayne had to play this to get to the Batcave.

hahahahahaha 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 I'm DEAD 💀
Alfred I can't get in again, can you play the thing"
I would love to see Bruce play this. Like, if nothing else, at a concert. Imagine that, the joker planned to kill everyone at the concert and Batman is there to stop him but Bruce needs a reason to be there. Guest? Hell not, musician, HELL YEAH
The way he builds the tension at 5:30 is incredible. Best part of the entire song.
I totally agree.
I've liked that part so much I composed a work inspired by it. I only understood that I was inspired by it 1 year once I heard this cover
Absolutely agreed ☝️
Your arrangements are absolutely stunning man. It's amazing how well you incorporate all of the melodies and harmonies.
Indeed my friend :D

Somehow you captured the entire orchestra in two hands. That's magical. Such a beautiful arrangement
@@Hero-wc6gq yeah that's true but in the main score there are two many Flow Switches used it is hard to do it on Piano
Thats why piano is the goat instrument in my opinion.

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.
Hello, i have 3 years of piano and i confirm. Days and days of practice after bying the tablature and i am near to my goal. (Sorry i am french).
5:10 - 5:20 - Chills. Every. Time. The whole arrangement from start to finish is just incredible.
You are in love with Hans Zimmer dude
who is not tho
NoVaX240 hans zimmer is the best though
blackwiza24 i agree :)
NoVaX240 So am I..😍
So am I
I became your fan after watching interstellar and now this. Bro you're too good
Same here
same!
I dont even know piano or listen to music with just the piano. But Patrik really makes me love it.
Same
same!!! :D
Same!
How the hell Hans Zimmer only won Oscar one time?
What’s wrong with Oscar !!!
CUZ HE IS THE OSCAAAAAAAR
Oscar is not worthy to be Zimmer's.
And the ridicolous thing is this:in the lion king the music are presents yes but is difficult tu focalize that at the first or second vision
Because he is german, they hate them
who is oscar and why is everyone trying to win him over
Patrik the Piano Player is like:
“Let’s put a smile on that face!”
Me: You don't owe these subscribers anymore, you've given them everything.
Patrik: Not everything.... Not yet..
Abdul Rahim Shihabuddin brilliant just brilliant

@@aviralsrivastava5214 Pacific rim one!???
I don't think that a lot of people watching this realise how hard this is to play to the level that Patrik managed. Some parts are pretty obviously quite difficult but the way he manages the dynamics throughout the song, even at the more seemingly simple sections is incredible. Really impressive.
A lot of people could play this. But I doubt someone could come up with a better arrangement than him, thats where he really excels!
@@niklasholgerson3779 better arrangement ? What does it include
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..
Yes good sir, every damn time i hear it❤❤❤
Yes it's absolutely fantastical. I know that. I'm pianist to. But this song, is the BSO off the batman's movie "the dark night".
"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
- Harvey Dent
Gotham Knight "I can do those things... because Im not a hero... unlike Dent, I killed those people... that's what I can be... Im what ever Gotham's need me to be"
-Batman
Gotham Knight "And Here we go !"
-Joker
Gotham Knight "He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero, he's a silent guardian. A watchful protector, a Dark Knight."
- James Gordon Jr.
Why are people quoting the Dark Knight, this isn't about Batman it's about the music
BryceBriseKing the music is about batman
5:46 was nostalgic as hell...
Yes !
1:08 “to manipulate the fears of others you must master your own”
“To conquer your fear you must become FEAR”
“There are always people you care about you don’t realize how much until there gone”
Nolan + Zimmer = Best films ever been with the best music
Belyashik Play Christopher Nolan, Hans Zimmer and Tom Hardy xD
smy. s_ and michael caine of course!
@@smy.s_3637
Talking about this three, it would be interesting to see an arrangement for Dunkirk.
Just saying.
Also they got Christain Bale and Heath ledger put in this film, undefeated.
Spielberg + Williams
2:14 Those left hand notes though!! Makes a really nice sound to play it that way. Sounds so dynamic.
I believe that the soundtrack counts as 1/3 of a movie. The others being the performances and the story.
However I also believe that a soundtrack is self-sufficient while no movie can truly work without a soundtrack.
Shin agreed.
Soundtrack is the soul of the movie
nah, tell that to Quentin Tarantino
1/4 soundtrack
1/4 plot
1/4 acting
1/4 cinematography
Might I counter with Silence?
You don't realise how tough it is to play this, until you try it yourself. This man is a genius!!
I'm impressed by the use of dynamics. Not only their wide range, which seems to go from pianissimo to fortissimo, but how they are blended to create the illusion of separate background tracks playing. Mr Pietschmann, excellent work sir!
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.
He's not the hero we deserve, But the one we need.
This literally... LITERALLY moved me to tears. Amazing job.
This is not only by far the best piano cover of the dark knight, this is also one of the best piano covers for any film music I have ever seen, and I have seen many. Absolutely phenomenal, I'm speechless.
05:46...here come's the masterpiece
My favourite part
@@emesic926 Mine too. One just cannot describe it in words.
@@vineet-the-pooh2641 But the hardest part to play for me too...
@@emesic926 you can play the other parts??????? This was the easiest for me tho😭😭
One of the most legendary piano arrangements of a soundtrack ever.
After 3 years I still listen to this every day. This is Patrick's best arrangement.

"Sometimes the truth isn’t good enough.Sometimes people deserve more.Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded."
I just love these lines bruv....It had saved me from despair in my life many times...
5:29 goosebumps every time
4:37 so intense..
The left hand octaves are just so crisp! Mind blowing job man...
solid finger work indeed - makes me wanna give up lol - but the one good thing my father taught me... Practice makes PERFECT
Anthony Driver False. Perfect practice makes perfect.
I think this showcases how hard the piano is to play but also how beautiful it really is.
6 years later this still gives me chills
Can't wait for a Dunkirk piano arrangement!
I upvote this! Make it happen!
I'm pretty sure he is able to do Supermarine ;)
DanTheTwoWheeler Oh yes please! That would be so awesome!
I can already play his version of Time and Interstellar and i absolutely love them. Now I'm working on Chevaliers de Sangreal but I would definitely buy a Dunkirk cover immediately
I expected it to be better I give 7/10 no character build up and shows just soldiers stranded with barely any reasoning behind it
Lol you criticise him for thinking his opinion is the truth, then say get over it the movie was great.
I'd have a better chance at becoming an astronaut than doing this
you'd have better odds at both with a little more faith in one's self, your just as human as the person who made this video
i was impressed also, this song is so amazing but also it seems brutal to play for a pianist.
Nah bro I am 16 I just finished learning it but it's really fun to play.
Eli Teague Yeah but you were a piano player before. Sure, it is possible to learn, but for a non-piano player it would take a lot of time (this little piece requires more than just basic technique that one learns with his first piano songs). I am also a beginner and from my point of view this is a pretty hard piece
Roy Gabay 😂
The fact that he is able to pull of the velocity with his left hand at 0:42 while palying that complex piece with his right one is mind bogglingly good
That part is not that hard
Now he's not a monster cause he can play this.
He's just ahead of the curve.
He looks so bad ass when he crosses his hands over each other.
Then do the song, as the pianist did... Without tutorial.... Then fear will find you again
LOL
That is from The Dark Knight Rises. Not from The Dark Knight
@@impala4641 no shit
Most underrated comment!!!!
One of the best comment 😂
Okay. First of all, this is so dope! I took classical piano lessons from the age of 8 to 16 but have not touched a piano in decades. This makes me want to get a piano and take it up again. This music will be played every day for a long time to come. This arrangement and the way it is played is so close to versions you hear with whole orchestras but in some ways this TOPS the full orchestral treatment. It moves me every time I listen to it. I hear a repeated theme of conflict and resolution. The journey of Batman as he struggles to rid the City he loves of criminals. I hear perseverance in the face of the tribulation and sacrifices Bruce makes as Batman. I hear Bruce's love for his parents, grief still for their loss. I hear Bruce's longing and unrequited love for Rachel. I hear chaos and then peace.
Confession: Sometimes when I listen to this piece, I let myself fan fiction- out. Martha Wayne was an avid and accomplished pianist. She loved the piano and wanting to give her son the gift of musicianship, she began teaching Bruce to play at an early age. Bruce soon learned to love the piano as well and Martha could see that her son was gifted, much like herself. Mother and Son spent many hours bonding over their love of the piano. After Bruce's parents are killed, Bruce retreats into himself in grief, internalizing the rage and the guilt he feels over his parents' death. But as a way of continuing to maintain a bond with his Mother after her death, he continues studying music. He finds that it helps with the anger and connects him to that bond he shared with his Mom. By the time he is ready to leave to attend Princeton, he has also learned to compose music as well.
Flashforward to Bruce's return to Gotham after his seven years with the League of shadows. Bruce is making his plans to become Batman and gathering allies. He also covertly seeks out Rachel but sees her kiss a man she is with on the cheek and assumes she is involved with the guy. Bruce leaves without speaking to Rachel but of course he is still in love with her. Since he's still preparing to become Batman, he is not out every night patrolling yet. One night he can't sleep and he's restless. He gets out of bed wearing pajama pants with no shirt and wanders down to the study where his mother's beloved grand piano sits...waiting. He hasn't touched it since before he left Gotham. He plays a couple of notes and smiles when he discovers that Alfred has dutifully kept the piano tuned. He gets an idea that maybe certain notes on the piano could be used to trigger the hidden door leading down to the lair he is making in the caves below the manor. He makes a mental note to himself to have Alfred look into it.
After hesitating for another couple of seconds, he sits down at the piano. Thinking about his parents and especially of his Mother with whom he shared this love of the piano, thinking of Rachel and what could have been between them, thinking of the journey ahead of him as he fully commits to becoming Batman knowing the trials and tribulations he will face and the loneliness and sacrifices he will have to suffer in doing so....BRUCE WAYNE COMPOSES THIS SONG. After he's written the last note, we watch Bruce (Christian Bale please) perform this beautiful masterpiece and we see everything Bruce is feeling in his eyes. Several hours later, emotionally spent but somewhat at peace with his inner rage for the moment, he goes back to bed and sleeps until 3:00 in the afternoon when Alfred wakes him up. Bruce sits up and smiles, remembering the piece of music he composed the night before. He tells Alfred he has an idea about the piano and hops out of bed...to do those fast-paced pushups!! Aaaannd scene! 😊😊
how i feel all the time
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Vincent Charbonnier yeah ...
Yeah, same here.
Yeah, when I listen to him I feel so in peace.
By the way, did you know that the dark knight soundtrack was composed by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard?
I was just about to send the same comment :-)
Vincent Charbonnier you are a real nice musician
I am a simple man. When I see Hans Zimmer, I click.
i don't know why but i fucking can't stop listening to this
Hans zimmer is the hero we need, but not the hero we deserved
one of my dream is to play this one :) same for interstellar version
just start. quite simple actually
i dont really find it easy. i can press the buttons, yeah.. but pressing them with the proper force at the right time and that consistently is really hard.
simple ? this is GODLIKE TIERS
I'm aware that it's not, some like Chopin level, but this piece hard !!
@@MrVinturuth the emotions as well yea
The fact that you made this software by your own makes you even more Impressive!
this is the reason i love the fact I am a piano player so much. you can immitate most of the emotion and the soul of the orchestral original piece using only two hands
This is one of your best piano tracks. Who understands about music knows. It deserves more likes. Thanks
You're the hero UA-cam deserves.
jessepnkman but not the one it needs right now.
Ekramul Huq So we will Hunt him😂😂😂😂😂
he's the hero we need but not the one we deserves tbh
Sebastian movies because he can take it. Because he's not our Hero. He's a skilled Piano Player Knight
The Dark Knight is the greatest movie of all time.
Change my mind
Interstellar.

It's overrated for sure.

I can't cause I agree just as you do and nobody in dark knight could have played a better joker than heath ledger
2:10 is so powerfull, just WOW
2:08 is what you came here for ❄❄
Accually i still can't find the part i'm looking for, the first part of the old batman theme aswell as the lego batman manu theme
Maksymilian Starczewski that's the 1989 batman theme. This is from the Nolan trilogy
Stefan Burnand i think the ferry scene, but the orchestra version isn’t as powerful. It’s more lowkey
Heath Ledger is applauding slowly in a jail cell in the clouds
Why would Heath Ledger be in jail?
@@jensjensen4038 He meant the scene where Joker was in Jail.
Eye of Sauron oh okay then it should be joker not heath xD got confused
you should be in a musical or a theater. The best for you, royal albert hall, you should show the world your talent💪🏽👍🏼
I don't see how you would draw that conclusion from this video.
Posting up on UA-cam kinda does show the world 😐
I have to agree
you should do this... you should do that.... you should just music

Its so dark yet so beautiful. Goosebumps everytime I listen to it. You're a master of your craft.

The joker
Absolute chills that part !
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.
This is the most intense piano playing I’ve ever herd in my life! I can’t even begin to say how good this is. It helped me play the song to! Thank you, and God bless.
He’s a watchful player. Our shadow of notes. He is... The Octive Knight
Hans Zimmer never fails to amaze
PluSh *Patrik never fails to amaze

Batman Begins and TDK soundtracks were composed by *Hans Zimmer AND James Newton Howard*
Dani Lovato Correct. However, the material that's being heard here was composed by Hans.
Lu-Hiep Phan no, it was composed first by James Newton Howard in the first movie of the trilogy. The theme of Batman Begins was composed by James, and you can tell is the same melody.
Only Hanz Zimmer and Christopher Nolan can make me feel the way I feel now...Thank you for this Patrick Pietschmann!
i wish they continued on with christian bale batman in the dc universe
They made Man of Steel dark to match that tone but Nolan and Bale wanted no part of the DCU. Then people complained the DCU was too dark. 😂
It wouldn't work. The dark knight is too down to earth and real
Yeah, the only actors that could play the batman are bale, Affleck and maybe Jon ham
Don't we all
Yea , i really wish that 🥺

My 13 year old daughter has been teaching herself how to play the piano by watching your videos for the past year. Your teaching methods truly resonate with her and her 16 year old sister. They would love it if you could create a video for The Dark Knight Rises. Thank you so much for all that you do!!
i see youve spent some time on the piano, master wayne
Hey everyone !
After months of work I was finally able to play Patrik's version integrally, it's really far from perfect but you can find it on my youtube channel if you're interested to see how it sounds like when it's not Patrik playing it.
Have a good day
Patrick is the hero we needed, but not the one we deserved
What the hell. This is insane. So mesmerizing.
