Escape! (Metamorphosis 2) (The Hours)

Philip Glass composed this wonderful song called Metamorphosis Two and part of it was used for the movie The Hours, and renamed Escape! This is my second try, and I think it's a lot better, and is exactly how the original sounds (except for my right hand coming in one count early at one part).

Bass keys on the right? Must be a parallel universe...

@lilalaser my camera records everything in mirror image. :)

Why is the piano backwards?

[gnitleinad]

@gregoriodavila i took the video using my MacBook, and their camera is inversed.

Did you learned it by ear or from sheet music, cause if you have a link to the sheets could you please give it because i can't find any ( great job btw :P)

@lgfl1 I learned it by ear. I had to listen to it about 6 times to figure out the phrasings, but I managed. The left hand is just E+A-C-A-C-A-C...E+G-C-G-C...F+­A-C-A-C-A-C...F+G-B-G-B-G-B...­E+A-C-A-C...And the right hand is A-G-F-D-E. The fast part is just A minor arpeggios. Hope this helps!

@wig0r Just curious.. do you know what version they play? Who is the artist? is it piano solo or with strings off The Hours soundtrack?

[wig0r]

@gnitleinad .the theme is present before and when the band enters the stage... truly breathtaking impression. the song brings some kind of inner tension awaiting to be released..... love it!

@wig0r I didn't know that about Pearl Jam using this song. Thank you for the comment!
