This is a direct notation of Microrator's Duel of the Fates piano cover. Duel of the Fates is one of the famous themes in Star Wars, and is certainly one of my favourites. You can read more about the original here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel_of_the_Fates

As a token of appreciation to Microrator for his awesome arrangement, I decided to create the sheet music for it, and share it with others who may wish to learn it. I realise that many people aren't so lucky to have the piano background that I have, and so I am using my skills to help others who don't.

Granted, as I am not the original arranger, I couldn't know exactly what was always intended, but I have done by best to notate what I feel was intended.

If you're wishing to learn this cover yourself, here are a few things you may wish to keep in mind:
- Dynamics are largely up to interpretation. While I do include dynamic markings on my score, this was mainly so that the exported midi-turned-mp3 would have some contrast, and I feel that the decision of the dynamics can be left to the perfomer themselves, by their own interpretation (one may want to listen to Microrator's Cover or the original soundtrack for inspiration).
- Similarly to above, I have notated some accents in places to try and get the sound a bit louder for the audio. These shouldn't always be there, and should again be tied into interpretation by the performer.
- Some sections of the piece are certainly easier than others, and one may be tempted to play the easier parts faster than the more difficult parts. However, it is better that you play it all at the same speed accurately, and so if this requires you to slow down a bit, do so. You can then build up speed once you are more familiar with the notes.

How I made this video:
- Inputted the notes into Sibelius (Music Notation Software)
- Exported a MIDI file
- Exported graphics to make sheet music
- Converted the MIDI to an .mp3
- Stuck the .mp3 into Sony Vegas, and edited the sheet music in to make a video.

The playing of the song in the background is the MIDI-turned-mp3 file from Sibelius, and so naturally it doesn't sound as good as Microrator's live version. It was just to show people how close to the original I could get with my notation.
