forget Anakin, your Midi-Clorian count is higher than Chuck Norris'!

[geckoman07]

Your Midi-Chlorian count is higher than even Anakin's, higher than 20,000.

[chazmann95]

@geckoman07 I'd say it's at LEAST over 9000....

[geckoman07]

@chazmann95 XD... 

[timtamslam444]

Awesome Job!

[TheElAlbino]

(i wanted to make a starwars releated comment and i know that sucks but.. i got nothin)

[SWB2dragon1]

8 people are not with the force

[SS4Xanatos]

I have the sheet music for this piece but it pales in comparison to what you are doing here. This is way cooler! Nice job! :-)

[Vulcas117]

for the peaple saying......you were supposed to be the chosen one!..its the battle song in episode 1 of darth maul,young obi-won,qui-gon not episode 3 cause episode 3 isbattle of the heres episode 1 is duel of the fates

[capone50]

Hey thanks for making the vid. Its people like you who have inspired me to try and learn how to play the piano. Right now im in the works of learning. Any chance of knowing how you learned this piece? Did you buy sheet music for it somewhere?

[FoxxElite]

You were suppose to be the chosen one!

[gogman25]

Epic.

Nuff said

[99thJediWarrior]

Obi-Wan has taught you well.....

[Strider515151]

this is the best version on piano i have ever seen and heard on youtube. you have my respect ;-) i wish i could have the sheets

[samuraijaco1]

There is a guy at my shool that hates this song with a passion only because "They killed Qui-Gonn while playing it!!!" I disagree with him. This song is soooooo epic. It gave me chills listening to you play!

[ExodusNinja]

@samuraijaco1 you should point out to him that the song doesn't actually play when Liam Neeson gets stabbed, nor when he dies and not when he is burnt either.

[Magnetron8]

epic.......................

[Magnetron8]

Jooiin Usssss We areee the jediiii we are the gooood guuy Don't join the sith.......

btw weee haaaveee someeee paaancakes and Roooaast duuuck The siiiith..................... only have Ration bars.......

[Tezziewalter]

My email adress is tess_walter@live.nl, just in case you want to email me;) Duel of the Fates is an epic piece, and I never thought it would sound great on a piano, but you just proved my wrong with this epic piano interpretation!!

[Tezziewalter]

How can you possibly NOT like this?You are amazing, I cant tell you how terribly good this is! I play the piano myself, and I read here that there are some people who'd like sheetmusic of this song. Can I please have your permission to put your interpretation of Duel of the Fates on sheets?If I have finished it, I'll send it to you so you can put a link to the sheetmusic for people who want it. It might take me a while, as it's a difficult song, but the camera setting is OK, I think I can do it

[BlastMode888]

Woow amazing. It seems that the only way to play this song is with... THE FULL POWAA OF THE DARK SIDE >:D

[Skorpus]

good performance, and your piano sounds very well

[kostis007]

hm....i think its impossible to play a multychannel/instrument theme with just 1 instrunment...

[masteryodaman111]

Its cool without all the people screaming AHHH AHHHH! and all the choir. Nice going!

[tenjuzacky]

very good my friend good classic

[TheLastRoyalty]

cant tell you how much i like listening to this song. this must be my 10th time searching for this song.

[expressMBD]

Fantastic! Utterly marvelous!

[TheAzeRealm]

How many years of Jedi Training that took?

[3Devillersification]

Really fine !

[TheLastRoyalty]

this is incredible. ive been practicing at the sheet music version forever but it will never sound near as good as this.

[TraderJoex]

How long do you train to play songs like that?

[Droideka133]

@TraderJoex months...................

[thestickmanstudios1]

what's your midiclorian count?

[krayzeddd]

mmmmm, good at piano you are.

[Theandrewplayer]

I can sense the force in u

[Mitch9875]

where did u get the sheet music?

[Jaskarsis]

you. are. a. god. thats all. i wish you had a piano score... :(

[Microrator]

@Jaskarsis Well one day I might tackle transcribing it, but there's so much going on it would probaly take me forever.

[99thJediWarrior]

Hmm, strong in the Force, this one is

[starlord67]

The force is strong in you.

[starlord67]

Very nice piano playing!

[EpicSicNarF12]

this sonds like kingdom hearts fragments of sorrow just a liitle

[planmex]

may the force be with you master ;D

[anikid0392]

Damn! I'm feeling John William being in front of this guy conducting him. You're good!

[ciastulek]

'Anakin's betrayal' is my favourite piece of the movie, but you mademe come back to that soundtrack. And I think I prefer your interpretation of DOTF, though JW is a god, don't get me wrong. You did a great job.

[kyzon]

Lord vader............. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssseee

[moh1t]

Obi wan has taught you well

[Droideka133]

are you related to john williams? cause you sound like your either his grandson , or his aprentice. thats how great you are .you are so perfect . al the notes for all the instraments on 1 piano with no help awsome!! do battle of the heroes for me please

[musicResistances]

I love how evey comment is connected to Star Wars...nice ...Would you take me as your apprentice?

[Microrator]

It won't be easy, but I'll consider it. :)

[bbphnix]

@Microrator you're good!

[pokemon918]

@musicResistances i dont think someone who spells "every" wrong is a worthy apprentice XD

[CDSymo97]

Hey thats pretty awesome im playing a made easy version of this

I hope ill be able to play it like that one day

[ShotzHead]

Done well you have

[coninoandnonino]

[parozi93gs]

impressive most impressive

[jojewan]

Very Good...you're fulfilling your destiny XP

[newfoundreality37]

Amazing. I've been dying to play this since I was 7. Where do you get the sheet music??

Great job. Keep playing!

[Petchx]

Great job man!!! Loved the dynamics! thought the tone of playing and phrasing was perfect.

[siebenboy]

that was great!! Now I don't quite feel like I've lived up to my claim to be a true Star Wars fan! haha. I don't believe I've ever learned a piece by ear in this much detail.

[tam1234hk]

The force is strong in you!

[Ambarenya13]

Fantastic. I'm a piano player myself and I must say this is supremely impressive! =)

[Vermouthvin]

Sir, you´re AWESOME!

May I ask you if you have the piano score?

Thanks!

[odile222]

very well done

[Starwors123456]

hmmm I'll tell u the best part. 0:00 ~ 4:16

[luukluuk34]

@Starwors123456 idk i kinda liked 4:17 to u know

[Evman95]

@Starwors123456 Yeah your right but I think that last second was awful.

[mustardisblue]

Awesome cover. You really nailed the first part! Im learning to play this song too

[Kilij]

Excelent, Estupiendo, Excelente, Mashallah!

[ROCKYBRUNT]

this is the best one ive ever heard, you should try for some more of the soundtrack, i really enjoyed that piece, hope to hear more from you

[IsThatMyAdobo]

for a master piece, it seems very basic for the piano. well im not the one complaining :D

[agustisala]

The Best cover of this piece i ve ever herd!!!

[grantpiano]

is that the original sheet music or did you make the changes yourself?

[Microrator]

Neither. This is my own interpretation completely.

[Annoyedwithschool]

do you have a copy of the music that you could send to me?

[powertower8000]

If this is your interpetion how come you put John Williams piano cover?

[Microrator]

because it is a cover of a piece by John Williams. My interpretation meaning that this is not a piano piece and therefore i am interpreting it for piano, however, the original that i listened to in order to do that was by John Williams.

[powertower8000]

oh ok then

[kalashnikov5160]

@Microrator wut

[AEROBubblez]

cool

[doppellooser]

GREAT

[ankara]

LOL¡¡¡ felicidades por el trbajo realizado:-)

[Noetzl]

krass^^

[StarWarsFan1248]

this is amazing!!! i dont see how you got this by ear!!!!! wow! 10/5 stars! if thats even possible! your amazingly talented!

[Bazzabazeman]

got sheets?

[Anakin9145]

best duel of the fates on youtube! why dont lucasarts buy the copurights for this? it will be worth it, this is greate!

[Microrator]

Feel free to give them a shout, i need the cash :)

[Anakin9145]

so... gimme your visa number =D... XD

[Mikita12131323213]

Because Lucas doesnt have to... because this is his own song... well John Williams song but it is copyright for Lucas.

Why buy something you already have right? and why buy something when you have something better :D?

no offense o.o

[hardplayproductions]

Is this by ear? Even if it's not, it's still 6 out of 5 stars!!!!!! You rock!!!!!

[Microrator]

Yes this is by ear.

[hardplayproductions]

Wow man I play a lot of songs by ear but they never song good!!!

[DarkPhantomJedi]

Very good, and far, far better than the sheet music that I've found, all of which lack a certain something that your version has. Have you considered transcribing it? If you ever do, I'd love to have a copy of it to try.

[Microrator]

For someone who has never transcribed anything really id say it would take a good year!

But if i ever do you'll be the first to know.

[Elwahjazz89]

GUYS, how many times does he have to see he doesn't play from sheet music.

[alphaclam]

Do You Have The Sheet Music ?!?!

[Dumbledore2345]

Could you please email me the sheet music for this?

PS: ALL WILL NOW BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHT OF ME, DARTH VESUVIUS!!!

[Elwahjazz89]

I like it man, i really do. i think it's all pretty much good. just a little bit of constructive criticism, take it on board if you wish:

on the first listen of the piece as i got towards 2.30, i kinda got a little bit bored... and it may just be because i'm a bit tired, but i think when the key change comes in at 2.42 it could do with a little Alberti Bass, Staccato left hand alternating octaves. (for Eg. G,G,D,G. and maybe do it again when you hit 3 minutes.

i love the half min!!Bravo!!

[Elwahjazz89]

that was supposed to say the last half minute. and to further the comment previously i read it back and realised i don't seem to be giving you the credit you deserve. it's a really really good arrangement of it. well done, it is truly awesome.

[1217ryszka]

Lol the darkness makes you look like a sith, appropiate music, my young apprentice.

[Microrator]

Thank you master

[Shintsu2]

Nice. Wish there was some sort of tutorial on YouTube, I'd love to make my interpretation on Reason but I can't quite get this song down even just picking out the keys on my own. Keep up the great work!

[AzNtacoSAUCE]

lol loooved it! and you dont have to "apologize" for the darkness. compliments the song quite well ;)

[frandragonfly]

veryyy goodd¡¡ can you make a tutoriall??

[InTheSkyWeShine]

G O D L I K E

[powertower8000]

He played some parts wrong but it's still good

[Microrator]

The great thing about it being my own interpretation and there being no piano music for this piece, is that i CANT be wrong :)

[powertower8000]

well u are cause i have notes to it

[saroigor]

he cant be if he has done his own interpretation....you cant confront his interpretation with original notes...

[Thek213]

Powertower8000, there is no such thing as a "wrong" interpretation. Like opinions, the saying is "To each their own."

[epicguy103]

@powertower8000 the music from star wars is wrong, not his piece.

[Beo1Wulf2]

Wtf, nice work.

[carlosastro21]

Brilliant!

Keep working and sharing!

[LoveleyVideos]

Look "Sarabande" by Georg Friedrich Händel. Do you notice somthing :-)

This song "Duel of the Fates" is a Sarabande-Structure.

[EricEnvy]

Amazing - I've always wanted to learn and play that great piece of music - 5 *****

[Ryguy778]

Tutorial please? Just kidding...Unless you would actually consider it.

[InsaneAsylumEscapee]

Star Wars + piano = my heaven. You are amazing.

[animalityyy]

Awesome

and

by ear??

Double Awesome!

[jarvais56]

If that isn't the definition of epic, I don't know what is.

Brilliant.

[JJKGatorsfan]

this sounds soo awesome. nice work!

[M1k33St31n]

Muy bien... exelente....

very very good... =)

[sting2death2]

SUPERB!!!!!

[MissBish1992]

could you show us 1 on how to play it plsssssssss

[MissBish1992]

its reallly gooooooood!

but.. how do u play it?

what are the notes?

[Microrator]

I play by ear.

[Nuhallis]

REALY GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOD but the sound is off just a tad

[FaMiRa88]

MASTERPIECE

[4everkakashilover]

wow this is amazing! did u use sheet music? and if u did then where did u get it? cuz its almost impossible to find sheet music online T_T

[Shmellington]

Microrator generally plays without sheet music. ;)

I think that any time sheet music is used, a link is provided in the vid description.

[Microrator]

Dont use sheet music. I play by ear, doubt theres piano sheets for this piece.

[Amibop]

There are, and they sound pretty good if you can pull them off, but a lot of them require at least a few years of practice to attempt them.

[catnip503]

Played by ear or from sheet music?

This is bloody awesome. I'm tryyying to learn it! Aha.

[krymsynrayne]

(headbangs cause John Williams is the man and you rock)

[negrois]

do you have perfect pitch or something?

[greinerm]

nice piano:) I have a Casio Privia PX-110

[JickSaloon]

Sweet

[DerWichtel]

like it... I'm still far from there, but I just started trying today

[Roboreptile4ever]

nice

[Marcello777]

that piano sounds very crisp : D

[windshadow333]

Have you ever considered doing any Ben Folds? I just saw one of his concerts, and he uses the WHOLE piano. It was pretty amazing, you should give it a go, I'm sure you could give him a run for his money.

[Woodstockieee]

VERY VERY beautiful!!!

[RemiB75]

Well, it sounds again really good.

Which type of piano do you have? Is it a Yamaha U3?

[Microrator]

Im not sure about the U3, its a yamaha anyways!

[snotybubblebiscuts7]

Do you play from sheet music or listen and then compose what you hear? Just wondering.

[Microrator]

No i listen to the song on my mp3, sit down at the piano and try to repeat what i hear. Then i play around with it when i have the basic structure down.

[snotybubblebiscuts7]

Wow! That's amazing! I try to do that with certain songs I listen to a lot but only the melody. I'm not good with harmony.

[Bogyesszamissza]

Can I have a possibly nosy question? HoW oLd ArE yOu??? I mean this... is wonderful! I can say it only inexpertly, because if someone suck at playing piano, then it's me, but I just cannot imagine how can someone play piano like this. So, yeah... I think I go now and cut my keyboard's cables. ;-P (keep the excellent job up! :-))

[GermanSeabass]

Awesome!

[velcrossred]

superb as always man!!!

[WiZaRdOfOdd101]

i really like this. good job =]

[BigBoss70]

cooooool

Good song and well played, good job
