Don't be fooled by the opening--this is indeed an abbreviated version of John Williams' "Raiders' March" from the Indiana Jones films, played by me on an old piano. I started my arrangement with "The Warehouse", the final cue before the credits of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It features such lovely statements of Marion's theme and the ark theme that I couldn't help it. =D Not to mention that great build at the end of the cue that was brutalized in the film edit...but I digress.
Problems I'm already aware of:
* Rushing on some of the triplets, particularly the descending ones. * A couple of missed notes here and there. * A bit of rushing, tempo-wise. * A little rhythmic sloppiness when it comes to the left-hand ostinatos. Those're tricky.
If you hear anything else that needs fixin', I'd love to hear it so I can improve. =) Enjoy!

This is about the most WONDERFUL Version of my favorite Movie March of ALL time!!! What an expressive beginning.. LOVED the Warehouse theme..with the hint of Marion... and WHO doesn't just smile ear to ear with the Raider's March! WELL DONE.. Thanks for posting and God Bless!
I honestly couldn't find anything wrong than what you already pointed out. This is a great arrangement. Love the opening. Wish I could play piano like that. I'll stick to my guitar and the flute.
The best piano version on youtube, not only because the performer is an excellent pianist (a professionnal unlike the other youtube "musician"), but also because the arrangement is very well done. All the harmony is respected as well as the expressive markings. Congratulations !
Generally very-well played. The intro was beautiful. The main melody sounds rather weak and lacking. I reckon this piece (which is an absolute gem, composed by Williams), really needs the strength of a full orchestra, for it to sound its best. Are you doing just single notes in your right hand? Or...? 'Cause I think it'd sound fuller and more dramatic if you added in a few more notes up top to flesh it out.
