John Williams : Jurassic Park - Theme ( piano version )

[ReubenD99]

I love your videos, all very addictive! might I suggest a better camera perhaps? it would greatly improve the sound quality etc and we would enjoy them even more! :) Thanks again!

[PSearPianist]

@ReubenD99 Thank you. I am keeping that under review - although the sound is generally better on videos uploaded since September 2010, as I am using a faster computer and different editing program.

[jlandles]

These videos are so good! I need to go to sleep, but I can't stop myself from watching and listening to you play. I'm in the process of trying to learn the keyboard. I am slowly learning notes and chords (at age 28!). I hope I will one day be able to play half as good as this. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us!

[PSearPianist]

@jlandles Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad you have enjoyed my videos - but don't lose too much sleep to watch them. I wish you every success in learning the keyboard!

[bpconductor2282]

sounds good. looks like we have the same set of book.s

[PSearPianist]

@bpconductor2282 That may well be right - although I have now returned it to the library!

[korlen709sk8er]

awesome, i recently discovered this song and im going to play it in my next lesson hopefully

[PSearPianist]

@korlen709sk8er I hope you enjoy playing it!

[universoeterno1]

I hope to play like you some day. Thank you for the uploads.

[PSearPianist]

@universoeterno1 Keep practising and you will play better than me. I am glad you have enjoyed the videos!

[allennnnnn91]

Good job! Have you written anything?

[PSearPianist]

@allennnnnn91 Thank you. I have not written anything as such, but a few of my own works are on this channel under my name.

[nleguellec]

Excellent page turn:)...very rythmic.

[PSearPianist]

@nleguellec Thank you! Page turning is always a problem, and in some of my videos I have to edit takes together to deal with them. If only I had a photographic memory...

[filathor]

this just makes so happy to hear ,.. you play it greatly... but maybe a tad fast here and there,. anyways keep playing. JW`s music is not the easiest to play, sometimes they just are to complex and darn tricky,other times the work well on a piano..

this theme works. did you know that JP maintheme never was used in the movie as a maintheme? but was used as parts and bits in the other scores in the movie.. anyways hope you could do more themes and music by JW,and maybe more from JP.. thanks -thor

[PSearPianist]

@filathor Thank you for your interesting comment and information. I am planning to video a few more JW movie arrangements in the next few weeks.

[artmania1990]

do you ever change clothes?

[PSearPianist]

@artmania1990 Yes, but I always wear black to do the videos so that they are as similar in appearance as possible! Otherwise I would get comments on my clothing, which is pretty irrelevant!

[SunsetGrey]

@PSearPianist oh my god, the irony in this haha, very good playing by the way

[PSearPianist]

@SunsetGrey Thank you.

[riglesia27]

awesome, does anyone knows where can i find the scores???

[PSearPianist]

Thank you! The version I played is published in a compilation called 'The Adventure Collection' ISBN 978-1-84609-946-5 . If you Google that you can find details.

[illian420]

this is the song that made me realize I have some musical talent. After listening to the wonderful music I figured out a simple version of the melody on the piano. Have a fond feeling for the song. what key is the piece in? And this or a version of this theme is also used at the end of the first film when they're safe and back in the helicopter

[PSearPianist]

Thank you for your interesting thoughts.  The version I played is in G major (as printed in the score I used).

[vydeolord]

The music is used in the first movie, when they arrive at the island and see the first dinosauriers.

Then in the third film it is used for a short time, when they are on the river out of the island. I'm sorry, but I can't remeber a moment the music is played in the second movie.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. That's useful info. I have seen all the movies in the series, but not for a few years!

[EdwardWhelanPiano]

Good old Williams, I can't mentally seperate this music from dinosaurs ha!

[PSearPianist]

Well, I have seen all the Jurassic Park films, but cannot actually remember the music in relation to them!

[bagofholding]

Nice collection of Christmas cards sitting on the piano.

Even though I don't comment on most of your videos you're still one of my favorite youtube subscriptions.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you.  The cards are there because it is a challenge to find anywhere else to put them - and they are easy to look at on the piano. I'm glad you like my videos and wish you a happy New Year of YouTube viewing!

[Chopin1986]

amazing...

Bravo!!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you!

[Babejuda]

I think you were right in your info. You did the best out of it, but this piece doesn't fit the piano. Anyway, thanks for uploading and referring to movie-music in your piano-playing.

[PSearPianist]

Thanks. I think myself that it works well on piano once one gets past the introduction - maybe I should have left that off. Nevertheless I know that there will be viewers interested in trying to play this on piano who will be looking for ideas on how to do it!

[jannarta]

There is a back echo particularly at the beginning which decays into the next cords. It sounds as if you are not giving a clean cut off at each bridge or you are using a resonator on the mike. jannarta.

[PSearPianist]

The pedalling is quite difficult - I have to hold over sustained notes where the horn call merges into the next phrase where the rest of the orchestra joins.

[altherap]

yes ,but dont play piano and is nopt funny

you know

thank you answer bless

[altherap]

[stembors]

Very beautiful ***** Merry Xmas and happy new year

[PSearPianist]

Thank you, and the same to you!

[ankara]

Estoy emocionada, muchas gracias ¡¡¡ :D

[PSearPianist]

Thank you!

[Martyprod]

great !!! please, record more williams piano solo piece :) !!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. Of course this is not really a JW solo piano piece, but an arrangement of a soundtrack excerpt. However, I am always on the lookout for quality arrangements of work by him - some of the published piano versions are not very good!

[Martyprod]

hi, if you want, i have the sabrina's theme who is a solo piece especially written by Williams (no arrangement from somone else)

[clavis55]

Very beautiful! I remember the theme from the film.

Merry Christmas!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you - and Merry Xmas to you too!

[AliceSarah23]

You always amaze me with your talent - this is absolutely enchanting :)

[PSearPianist]

That must be the promptest comment ever! Thanks very much, and have a great Christmas.
