🎹 Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Divine Beast Dancing Lion on Piano

[@mt2r-music]

You casually chose the most complex OST of the entire DLC and then absolutely smashed it. Most soulsborne covers you can find online are rather simple but you always deliver arrangement worthy of their original counterpart.

[@mt2r-music]

When it comes to souls on piano you and „TheSlowPianist“ (he made some really impressive Ebrietas and Ludwig arrangements) are right at the top.

[@AqareCover]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it!

[@nelsong.d.8881]

This is the piano playing equivalent of beating consort sl1 with a broken straight sword

[@nelsong.d.8881]

But probably harder

[@tk-ll4tz]

If you hadn’t shown your hands on screen I would’ve sworn godrick the grafted was using four hands to play this. Very well done

[@H2Overdrive99]

I...... I'm shocked at how amazing this is..... This is my favorite piece from the DLC, so seeing an arrangement and performance this immaculate is still beyond my belief. Somehow, every little intricacy of this piece that makes it special for me not only made it into this arrangement, but you actually convey the ferocity that the full choir and orchestra can inherently provide. As a fellow musician (brass player here,) I hope this helps you, and that you continue to share this gift that you have. Brave Tarnished... thy skill.... befits a sub.....

[@AqareCover]

Thank you so much H2Overdrive99! It's also my personal favorite piece from the DLC. Welcome to my community!^^

[@unknownbenefactor8029]

"O'Horned decked beast from higher sphere delivered....
Take root inside the tower's sculpted keeper, We begged of thee rise....
Dance and Cavorted, cleanse all in thou wilt, cruelty woes... Cleansed away those who plagued the tower.... Cleansed away the strumpet's vile progeny.... "
This ost made me feel the power of the storm...

[@Desconocido736]

"Divine Piano Dancing Fingers" 🤩
Incredible performance, congratulations man ! I love that ost, but now with your version, I love it even more ! 😀

[@dolphinheatfan]

There is not a better video game pianist on UA-cam than you, Aqare
This channel deserves way more viewership and attention.
Amazing as always

[@AqareCover]

Thanks for your kind words Dolphinheatfan!

[@erckupazo]

truly the animenz of gaming pianists

[@YangBalanceYin]

What a criminally underrated video, this is.

[@yanakaizzz9335]

Ugh I just love the bit from 5:55 to 5:57 ! It's all great but that bit just transports me

[@kirkginoabolafia3650]

.....HOW did you figure all of this out? The piano playing is impressive, sure, but the ability to translate the music into that format is INSANE!! Great job.

[@skipio5748]

Beautifully done. Especially the accents in the second Phase. Thank you. I've been waiting for a cover since the release.

[@AqareCover]

Been working on this literally every day since release, took a while. Thanks for watching!^^

[@kingz7151]

What an incredible arrangement, this was probably my favourite theme throughout the entire DLC, half the time I died I was like 'FUUU- wait this kinda slaps tho...'

[@AqareCover]

Yeah me too lul. Thank you!

[@worldlinezero4783]

Brother has to have the Curseblade Mask, Radagon's Soreseal, Millicent's Prosthesis, and the Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom to have enough DEX to play this piece

[@dyroth]

This is SO MAD DUDE WTFF and the fact that this is played live is so incredible, such a fun transcription with a ton of personality from the original, amazing job!!

[@bleakflouw930]

Bless your soul for putting the sheet music on your drive. Awesome Playing!

[@UprisingGrand]

Your technique to simultaneously play the runs and the melody is really impressive. I’m enjoying my time playing before I tackle any of the soundtrack. Can’t wait to hear more. 🔥🔥

[@mcbigboy4611]

Hope youre doing good bro, you and aqare are my favourite pianists on yt for video game OSTs!!

[@sspah6870]

I'm surprised by how well this converts to piano

[@xSquiidx]

its actually very easy to notice how most of fromsoftware music is written by pianists.

[@dmmax18]

It stinks (in a good sense) of Liszt-style composing

[@KGAnims]

My eyes cannot keep up with all the yellow and blue notes appearing on screen, and you are just playing them so effortlessly... Incredible!

[@captncuddlybear9404]

You always manage to capture the feeling of these songs on piano, and IDK how you do it so perfectly every time.

[@beewiz3063]

Awesome transcription and performance. Doing this theme justice isn't close to easy

[@AqareCover]

Thank you! It was a challenge but I tried my best because I really like the theme

[@BrocReed]

That 3/4 time signature is so punchy. Really puts emphasizes the dance in the dancing lion. I can't prove this, but I feel like I have my best fights against bosses with louder and more rhythmic themes.

[@moonlapsepiano]

Incredible work! I had considered doing this one but thought it was too hard - you completely nailed it I am so impressed. Truly astrounding effort and why you are my favorite vgm pianist 💜
Those little chromatic decorations you've added are so essential, and the way you handled the lightning speed flute runs is great.

[@AqareCover]

Means a lot, thank you so much Moonlapse! c:

[@user-vx2su5ws5m]

DLC始まったな!!って感じられるBGMでとても良き

[@jpsaux]

Bro this is some Franz Liszt or mad Chopin type of level. You play amazing

[@smrtasscrb5302]

One of the best dlc tracks, and it's arranged superbly! Gives me Islamey vibes

[@ZFFM]

As always, I am impressed. Nevermind the awesome composition that captures these complicated orchestral pieces, but the playing! How do you play so perfectly? I can't even imagine doing separate hands without making a mistake, much less this crazy dance with both hands. Great video as always!

[@ElSarcasticoo]

I don't know how th do you do this kind of covers but They're so acurate, holy moly
It's impressive how you can manage to take out all the details that are in the original song. Well done!

[@AqareCover]

Always trying my best, especially in cases like this where I really like the music myself. Thank you for your comment!^^

[@Overqualification]

This is genuinely insane

[@Joel-jf6ex]

This is simply incredible! Absolute amazing cover of this amazing OST.

[@andalofastora4579]

Hands down the most impressive and well written piano cover i've ever seen. Not just for this piece but in general. It is so incredibly powerful and moving, yet subtle and detailed. My jaw genuinely dropped I don’t even know what to say.

[@AqareCover]

Thank you, means a lot!

[@keller6920]

This is now my favorite version, besides original, ty

[@f.c9528]

Amazing!! I thought it was hard to turn bosses ost into piano,but after seeing this video now I have to think again.

[@AqareCover]

Thank you! It definitely is hard, harder than pretty much any other themes in video games, but I'm trying my best to make them sound as good as possible.

[@foopa777]

Absolutely impressive cover!! Crazy 110/10! Not a typo!

[@erikrose2803]

Your a fuckin wizard, my guy. A very difficult theme to play and figure out but you did it well! Well done congratulations!!🙌🏽

[@AqareCover]

Thanks so much Erik!^^

[@GabeOwzer]

Holy cow how have I not found this channel!? I’m about to print out so many sheets !! Thank you so much 🫡❤

[@adityagandhi5040]

Bro you've got to be a professional pianist, absolutely love your channel man

[@AqareCover]

Thank you, that means everything to me!

[@denberz711]

I know its edited but you're so good wtf

[@MilkApeOG]

This is some amazing talent and hard work. Truly one of the most complex ost’s in the game and you nailed it!

[@gentaalam5784]

score so good, I started crying

[@imannam]

[@sugoikasugokunaikamikiwamero]

こんな凄いチャンネルがあったなんて、、、七年間損してた！w

[@kaiser9598]

Your covers of Soulsborne themes have to be my favorite now, you picked such an intense and intricate piece and perfectly arranged it.
Divine Beast Dancing Lion is my favorite theme beside Promised Consort, so I'm happy a pianist as good as you arranged it!
3:15 is such a good part, blending two melodies together with both your hands... it's sublime to listen to

[@AqareCover]

Thank you, glad you like them!^^

[@juliansenni6279]

Damn, this music seemed impossible to put on the piano to me, and you did it masterfully. You're incredible!
I'd be curious to hear you cover Maliketh's ost. I've not yet seen a good cover of that music anywhere and it might be my favourite next to Radhan's. I'm quite sure you'd nail it!

[@synec7597]

Thank you so much for making this, I struggled to find the right notes for some parts for my mockup so thank you!

[@FernandoSilva-p7k]

Conratulations, incredible arrangement as always. Can you do the Promised Consort theme please?

[@Sarydormi]

Couldn't edit properly previous message, will write again. Imo better cover the full Starscourge Radahn first, since I couldn't find its cover on this channel, and then do the Consort, because Starscourge imo deserves more than half of the video

[@reinesschnitzelp9120]

Hope you can do midras theme next! IMO it’s the best OST alongside this one and you’re the only one who can do it Justice

[@AqareCover]

Midra's theme will be next, the video is almost finished! Cool that somebody actually requested it at last^^

[@thexlhis]

@@AqareCover👀

[@reinesschnitzelp9120]

@@AqareCover Very happy that you make these covers and especially that my two favourite osts from this DLC were your first choice 😉 Midras theme couldn’t have turned out better!

[@maverick5474]

Beautifully done! Nothing starts the day better than some Aqare piano solos! Love this

[@AqareCover]

Thank you, means a lot!

[@gufus3045]

Midra's theme would be a lot of fun to hear on piano! I'd love to see how you'd arrange that

Amazing timing, I actually just uploaded a cover of Midra's theme!

Simply the easiest difficulty piano ever uploaded to UA-cam! Superb.

tuffff you’re so talented. Real. Authentic. Not digital.
Would love to see more from the DLC🙏🙏

Thanks! More from the DLC is on the way!^^

i'm actually speechless. gotta leave a comment to boost this absolute masterclass in the algorithm tho. holy guacamole

Glad you liked it!^^

Amazing as always, both the arrangement and the playing!

First time seeing any of your videos and this blew me away. Would love to see Relanna next ;)

Please do Messmer or Romina next

This has the same cadence and rhythm as tho official one. Bravo 👏

[@jaketond]

this is amazing. we need messmer the impalers theme

[@KXBALADZE]

u are a legend man this is awesome

[@jamendrum]

wow this is so complex, kudos!

[@StevefromSales]

Phenomenal arrangement my guy! Do you have plans to cover more DLC Themes?

[@AqareCover]

Definitely, finished a new DLC arrangement today! And thank you^^

[@balladin9200]

your piano sounds so clean, mine would sound muddy if i played this. Maybe that's just good pedal use

[@maggie6152]

This is absolutely beautiful! The way you incorporated the flute runs and grace notes is incredible. The only thing I would have done differently is make the bass when it gets the melody a little louder to match the oomph of the male choir in the original.
About what difficulty or year (in piano) would you say this piece is? I gotta figure out how far I am from being able to play it. XD

[@AqareCover]

I'm glad you liked it! It's hard to say much about the difficulty because it is the highest possible difficulty, to the point that it is close to physically impossible due to some very quick movement that feels forced and barely manageable no matter how much you practice. But once you can play Liszt etudes, this should also become somewhat manageable.

[@Asmolgus]

amazing work

[@nemxo5548]

incredible work, thank you!

[@AqareCover]

Thanks for listening!

[@JasomRD]

perfect cover. wonderfull

[@BlacklistedSoup]

Thank you so much for this

[@CinemaJacket]

On piano this sounds semi-ragtimey. I want to see a movie or show casually pass off playing this in a deep south saloon

[@Zugrwow]

Awesome arrangement! I’d love if you covered Romina, Saint of the bud.

Great work, would love to see Romina or Messmer
