STAR WARS - "Imperial March" on two pianos (and then some)

http://www.andersonroe.com | Impression #4 from "STAR WARS FANTASY" composed and performed by the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo
Recorded live in concert at The Juilliard School
In composing our "Star Wars Fantasy: Four Impressions for Two Pianos," we took motives from John Williams' iconic score and constructed a brand new piece of music. The fourth impression combines themes from all six movies into a toccata of dramatic cacophony.

Thats really awesome!!!!!!!!

@sargeanthrs My exact same thought, you took apart the score from John Williams then put it together in a different way, yes you added a lot of stuff but that's an arragement not a composition. That being said, kudos amazing performance
-
this rly suckass ... they wanted this or wtf ? bad ! ! !
-
Too much discord throughout, so the composition wasn't thought-out enough, or one or both kept hitting wrong keys, most noticeable on the low/background notes. Or a piano was out of tune?
Too bad, because it's an otherwise dynamic and interesting arrangement. Certainly way better than most of us could ever do, but in the future adjustments should be made for such performances. Thanks for sharing regardless.

the force is with you

pretty good but you mean arranged. not composed. john williams composed it.

Is that woman having a seizure?

That was monsteruos!!! If That is what Williams actually wrote then we have serious problems....cause nothing reminds me like the sign of the times like Prokofiev

Splendid! You two are fantastic musicians! Love the syncopations at the beginning of the theme, and the way you accommodate ostinati from both "Duel of the Fates" and "Battle of the Heroes", sometimes simultaneously! And the seguing from the Prequel death march to what I think is the music for when Luke goes nuts dueling against Vader in ROTJ for a tiny moment right around 3:20. A real treat for someone with an obsessive familiarity with these scores!
