  • Can you please tell me which sheet music source you are using?

  • @WingChunLover2 I actually played this from a book I got from Barnes & Noble a while back. It's called: Star Wars - A Musical Journey (Episodes I-VI - Piano Solos).

  • @phphantomz101 The Easy Piano edition? I have that one too.

    Right after the intro., you do the Left Hand G, Right Hand A-Bflat-D four times. What are you doing exactly?

    I was playing these in the same octave, but it looks like you do something cooler. Thanks.

  • @WingChunLover2 I have the regular edition. After the intro, I just played the run up an octave and went down from there since I wanted to vary it a little.

  • @phphantomz101 It sounds good, but I am still not sure what you did. So, up 1 octave, down 1, down 1, down 1? And is the left hand G right below the right hand A, or on another octave? You have the best one as far as I am concerned. I hear alot of people saying "Binary Sunset", but it is actually "May the force be with you", or something else.

  • @WingChunLover2 So I checked the sheet music again and I actually went 2 octaves up from the lh G in the sheet music. In that whole run, the only measure that I changed is the first one; the second one statys the same. Also, as far as a I know, what I'm playing is the variation of the "May the Force be with You" theme that plays during the "Binary Sunset" scene in Ep. IV.

  • Excellent. Beautiful use of bass and the emphasis on the Crescendo. It was delightful. Most use the bass too much throughout the piece so when you hit that climactic note something is lost. Amazing.

  • Awesome.
