Finally this is done! It's taken me several hours, but I've finally finished arranging Dragonforce's 'Through the Fire and the Flames' for piano. I have stuck to the exact structure and key (Cm) of the original song.

Sadly, I feel it didn't come out quite as good as I was hoping. I was in two minds whether to make it exactly the same as the original, or change it to make it a lot more piano playable. I tryed the later, but I felt I started losing the melody a lot. You have to remember that this piece is designed for guitar, not piano, and so it is hard to make it practical to play all the crazy, solo bits on the piano. I compromised by adding "Ad-lib" above lots of bars in the stave, to allow for improvisation in the parts where the original is impractical to play.

I'll admit, I did use a MIDI for parts for most of the later half of this song (i.e all the solos). It was taking too long to figure out by ear all the masses of notes that were being played. However, I didn't just copy the MIDI across and plonk it there done, I did actually arrange it and change slightly to adjust for a piano.

How I made this video:
- Inputted the piece into Sibelius
- Exported the MIDI file
- Exported the graphics to make sheet music
- Changed the MIDI to an .mp3
- Stuck the .mp3 into Sony Vegas, and edited the sheet music in to make a video.

In the conversion from MIDI to .mp3, the bass seems to have come out more. In some places it is overpowering the melody a bit, which doesn't sound all that great -.- (However, I'm sure if you're playing this on the piano yourself, you won't have this issue.)

If you're wondering, I can play most of this on piano. All the solos are all basic improvisation, but I can play most of the normal stuff as well.

Is there any way to make a transposed version? I'd be fun to attempt to play this on trumpet. :P

Yes, I know how to transpose in my head...but man is it tedious. =/ And you screw up more often...

[Tehmattie]

@Reishirosama Yes, most music notation programs have a transpose function.

If you download the MIDI (in description) and then input it into a music notation program (such as Sibelius or MuseScore), the program should have a function which transposes the whole score into whatever key you wish. =)

[DeathViaTar]

The rhythm from 25-31 is wrong. There should be two sixteenth notes for every eighth.

[Tehmattie]

@DeathViaTar Yes there should be, but it's not practical to play them at correct speed on piano. I didn't just copy all the notes from the original piece and say: "Play this on piano"; I simplified it to make it manageable.

Omg when I get my keytar im covering this. this is really well done.

[TheCJsaxman]

Though pulling off the intro like they do on the guitars may be a different story, i don't think that would be possible on a wind instrument. the fast repeating notes would be tough but possible, the runs wouldn't be bad though, at least on saxophone, not sure how it would be on trumpet, Reishirosama

[TheCJsaxman]

@DeathViaTar

yeah, sixteenths that speed aren't possible on piano unless you have one of those devices where you hold notes and it turns them into sixteenths. It is possible to double tongue like that on a wind instrument or pull it off on a string instrument. Dissappointed, I am a saxophonist and been looking for videos of someone double tongueing those sixteenths, but in every video they are playing eighth notes instead. I may put a video up of me doing it on sax if i ever get the free time

[ZerohMetal]

i have GOT to learn this on a bell kit..

[limited0utsider]

Very good work, thank you for the sheets. Am learning this atm, it's a lil harder then ur other songs xd

[limited0utsider]

@CDMC1404 l2 read comments by vidmaker? he says it himself already:o

[BoydGuy333]

@Reishirosama I have a transposed version for flute and one for clarinet/trumpet

[link2299]

this is the hardest version ive seen of this song, im working on it now ;) for 3 weeks now, im on about page 4. once u get into those like 3 pages straight of 16th notes i cant keep up :P but i'll keep trying

[BoydGuy333]

I made a transposed version for Clarinet :D

[Patbad73]

Also, the rhythm of the bottom part's two notes in measures 194-195 should be switched with the rhythm in measures 196-197 because it's the second time that part of the song is played.
