Thanks so much for listening! It took a while to arrange and practice this piece, but I hope it did justice to one of my favorite soundtracks and favorite composer, John Williams!
For those who wish to learn this can grab the sheet music here: www.musicnotes.com/l/vGDQJ
I'd love to see your performances!
And once again: Long live the Maestro, John Williams!
I love your pieces you play. Keeps me going thru today's hard times. Thanks so much😘
I can only be jealous at this. Your talent is truly amazing!❤️
i was doing covers to some of yours songs, but this one is really hard :D, still have to practice more :)
Astonishing, absolutely. I love Harry Potter story, what you do and how you play, for me, is breathtaking 😊❤
Keep up posting your work, it is so wonderful
How long did it take to arrange it? Can't have been very long, since 95%+ of it is directly ripped off from Jarrod Radnich's arrangement.
People who don't play the piano can't possibly comprehend how difficult this arrangement is. Undoubtedly the most astonishing performance of a Harry Potter medley I've ever heard.
it also conveys the most emotion of any remix i've encountered, delightful.
Listen of jarod radnih also
I think Jarrod Radnich's performance was also really good. Yeah this arrangement is incredibly hard.
peter buka
This is exactly what I was thinking watching this vid
Me: how could you possibly play a whole orchestra part on one single piano?
Peter Bence: hold my butterbeer
@@hoon_sol no it's not. The execution is quite different.
also Peter Bence: let me check on Ravel and Rachmaninoff
You tried.
Lol, listen to Stravinsky’s transcription of Petrushka
?
I never thought that someone would create a composition more complex than Jarrod Radnich's Harry potter arrangement.
You definitely showed the world the next level of Harry Potter piano theme.
This is clearly sped up, I can't believe nobody here sees this 😆
@@kuboteuszits not what are you talking about
@@kuboteuszuhh coz it’s not?
@@kuboteusz Nah. Watch some more classical performances. Very advanced pianists can absolutely play this fast. Check out some of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes, Rach's 3rd concerto, Cziffra's Flight of the Bumblebee, some Prokofiev, etc.
Crap I came here looking for something a step down from the Jarrod one 😂
This is basically an _avada kedavra_ to all other HP covers
Excepted Jarrod Radnich’s one 😂
Didn’t expect to find you here. You’re one of my favorite pianists
Amazing video!!! this inspired me to create my own channel called TDunc Piano and It mean the world to me if you subscribed I am trying to spread the beauty of music around the world :)))
This is easily one of Peter's best and most fiendishly difficult and challenging arrangements -- the timing and coordination required to execute this is just mind-boggling
He did warn us that Dark magic was involved
Honored to get a
This isn't his arrangement as all. It's Jarrod Radnich's arrangement. Also, it's played way worse.
Here is the original, which this guy is apparently shamelessly trying to plagiarize (and failing at): ruclips.net/video/zvSIFofFH90/видео.html
@@hoon_sol first off, quite familiar with Mr. Radnichs work and have seen this video previously. It clocks in at around 2 and a half minutes, whereas Peter's arrangement is nearly 5 minutes long. Hes clearly added some sections and techniques such as string plucking and the elbow drop which were not in the so-called "original"...yes that is also an insanely impressive and fine arrangement but calling Peter's play way worse is I think diminishing the quality of both superlative pianists and is fully unwarranted -- calling it a shameless plagiarism when they're separate arrangements is a joke as well...
@@th3gimp17:
The only thing that's diminishing anything here is the person who made this video shamelessly plagiarizing Jarrod and not even managing to play it properly.
You not even acknowledging that this is literally blatant plagiarism is the joke.
As a fellow pianist, I can tell you, this was insane
Bold of you to consider yourself a pianist after listening to that. 🥲
@@dkix89 haha true that
Amazing video!!! this inspired me to create my own channel called TDunc Piano and It mean the world to me if you subscribed I am trying to spread the beauty of music around the world :)))
Who asked u?
Mate, playing the piano as a hobby doesn't make a you a pianist.
1:24-1:34 hell ya, thats amazing
In the hands of a supremely talented pianist, the piano can feel like it is an entire orchestra. Spellbinding performance.
Totalement d'accord :o
C'est impressionnant !
Man the DETAIL!!!!! Must’ve taken weeks!! Ur nailing so many parts of the orchestra. Hope John Williams sees this.
Weeks? You are joking right? Say more months or years to make this soo perfect and smooth..
@@geada7music627 well it is Peter bence it would take HIM a few weeks but other people years.
Or me, never lol
holy moly.... am i the only one who read weeks weeds and just agreed on that 😂😂😂😂
@@firojpaudel looool
This man is insanely aggressively enjoying in playing..... His hands shows how hard he arranged this piece..... Master piece.....🔥
The switch between the left and right hand cross over, the fluidity of this guy’s fingers, I’M STILL TRYING TO COMPREHEND THE JARROD RADNICH VERSION OF THIS PIECE, WHAT THE HECK??? Absolutely incredible, the speed, literally oh my gosh
0:10 Wow, I think I'm gonna get the sheet music and learn this!
0:38 Nope, gonna break all my fingers
"Dark music involved, listen with caution "
Legendary, Peter
I know
Hey I’ll play piano too in soon can u help me to growing? If I made a mistake in sentence/s I’m sorry can u fix me? My english is not verry good thank you from now
I was expecting keys to move on their own or something like that! Still, great performance
best harry potter piano ive ever heard
Anything John Williams touches turns to gold. His music is absolute genius.
Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one is able to play and hear piano like this.
"Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire, Harry?" He asked calmly.
@@dramitppt HARRY, DIDJYAPUTYOURNAMEINDAGOBLATOFFIYAAAAAA
@@aaronspianoandkeyboard3624 That English accent 😭 lmfao

As big Harry Potter fan, as huge Peter Bence fan and pianist this is the PERFECT combination!!! ;)
Ohh that´s true!!
Sameeee🔥🔥
Same!
I prefer Jarrod Radnich though
Amazing video!!! this inspired me to create my own channel called TDunc Piano and It mean the world to me if you subscribed I am trying to spread the beauty of music around the world :)))
Every time I thought "Well, there's no way he's going to top that, that was definitely the climax of this arrangement" he blew my mind. Over, and over again.
Love how you incorporated all the key portions across the entire list of Harry Potter soundtracks into 1 majestic Masterpiece. Transitions were perfect too. Absolutely brilliant

Man, the energy that you radiate even through video is absolutely incredible!
Peter once said on a podcast that he'd rather post content rarely than post something he isn't fully proud of... This video and arrangement should make him incredibly proud 🤩
Really? Where's that podcast at?
@@Cgreen15Abram Steinway had a podcast on Google podcasts! Peter Bence came on. Let me try and fish it out

This captures all of the magic of Harry Potter while also capturing all of the magic of Peter Bence 👨🏫 Your patronus would definitely be a magical living Steinway 😅
"Your patronus would definitely a magical living Steinway"
OK, you lost me there, what exactly were you attempting to say, because that 'sentence' does not diagram well at all?
@@MrJdsenior fixed it, thanks for letting me know I missed a word :)
im surprised those keys arent smoking after a performance like that!
@@TheChillest:
So the "magic of Peter Bence" is plagiarism? Because that's the only "magic" he's capturing by blatantly ripping off Jarrod Radnich's arrangement without even mentioning the guy. Blatant plagiarism.
@@hoon_sol no you’re wrong they are clearly both plagiarizing John Williams.
I never thought I'd hear a cover better than the Jarrod Radnich one but here we are.
"Ah, music, a magic beyond all we do here!" - Albus Dumbledore.
Check out David Pasqualini's arrangement. Also very faithful to the original music.
@@BarnieSnymanThanks
Jarod's had lots of glissandi (instead of scales) plus scales but definitely talented.
You’re a wizard, Peter!
Thank you for making me happy once more!
If it's impossible, then how did someone play it?
@@her.return Hard work and determination
No one can play it without enough practice
magic
All I ahve to say his his hand coordination with each key is freaking amazing.withkut making a single note error and his very accurate piano runs and octave to octave and the left hand movement is so freaking smooth man.this guy is a living legend.
As we can say in this piece there are many very difficult passages, and Peter is able to play them with an astonishing fast way and a SUPERARTICULATION fingering!!! He's a pro musician, without any doubt!!!!!😮😮😮😮
Dans tout ce que j'ai écouté de Peter Bence, rien n'égale cet arrangement de la musique de Harry Potter... Pas d'astuces électroniques, juste du talent à l'état pur.
Magnifique.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
3:21 is just..... out of this world
Beautiful arrangement and fantastic execution. There is so much Williams in there, never seen an orchestra on a piano like that before.
I know magic isn't real, but I'm having second thoughts after watching this performance. Absolutely stunning, Peter.
This is breathtaking. Stunning. And I am a concert pianist myself (as in, an actual paid concert artist). Peter's execution, writing, and flawless performance is unmatched.
Peter Bence, you are my favorite pianist of the 21st century.
Can't wait to spend 40 hours learning this masterpiece 🙏🏽
Professional pianist & composer here too, and couldn't agree more. Peter Bence is the best of our generation!!!
It's not his writing at all, what he's doing is blatant plagiarism. This is Jarrod Radnich's arrangement, which he is shamelessly trying to pass of as his own: ruclips.net/video/zvSIFofFH90/видео.html
@@JeremyWeinglass:

@@hoon_sol If you do not hear the differences between both arrangements, then you may have a serious ear disease.... They have major differences.
@@sylvainm.6516 That's true. Although there are quite some parts that are 100% the same. I wouldn't call it plagiarism but I'm pretty sure it was inspired by Jarrod Radnich' s performance. That's totally fine of course but I think if you copy parts of someones piece completely you can at least mention the "original" piece in the description. I get why people might be a little angry because of that.
Those 10 fingers with 11 brains has done a great job 😍
It can do more
@@JunasSenyor I know broo👍
Not to forget the talented elbow. 😘
Which finger has 2 brains?
There is another Peter here on RUclips, of whom people say that he's good at the Piano. But he'll never reach you. This is more than amazing
A little math problem: When a ridiculously epic composer like John Williams has his work “tweaked” by another ridiculously epic musician like Peter Bence, you get epic to the power of epic.
Amazing how you can deliver the magical vibe of HP!! Huge thank you for John Williams for composing these masterpieces, but performing these like you do is just priceless!! Köszönjük! 🙏🙂
Playing the melody on your left hand while shredding the accompaniment on your right hand is truly amazing.
I think this is the most difficult arrangement I've ever seen anyone peform of this soundtrack. Brilliant work.
Wonderful! An arrangement where you can hear that it's not just about making a well-known piece of music particularly complicated, but where there is actually added value in terms of harmony and dynamics. A masterpiece! Thank you for taking the time to develop it.
Stupendous!!!!!!
How can Anyone give this performance a thumbs down!? Jealous of a Talented, Hard Working Legend!
3:52
Did he just- No, he couldn't have, its impossible. Maybe I need glasses after all... *rewatches scene 10 times *
It has been confirmed. His ellbow is more talented than both my hands together.
My daughter and I love this song. Beautiful and fantastic.
He really plays with his heart and all his emotions. There are no words to describe how amazing it not only sounds but also feels - I have goosebumps constantly.
Please continue !!! You’re fabulous!!
your feel for that instrument is insane
Protect this man at all costs. 🤯
Amazing to see your fingers slytherin so fast up and down the keyboard.
This is an amazing arrangement. I saw him in NYC at Town Hall, and he was great. The audience loved it. He played so cleanly you could eat off the keys. But beside the virtuosity, I think he’s the coolest, hippest pianist around, and I’ve been around a long time. If he wasn’t so expensive, I’d love to try to get him produced here, the stomping grounds of Prince and Dylan.
Hatalmas rajongód vagyok! Te vagy az a zongorista, aki meghatározó szerepet játszott a zongorával való kapcsolatomban. Köszönöm!
It really feels like he has a symbiotic relationship with every piano!
This video deserve billion views.
I have never seen or heard something so complex be played with such outstanding accuracy and detail. Incredible performance
This looks even more complex and technically difficult than Jarrod Radnich's cover of Hedwig's Theme. Spectacular work, simply astounding.
This is how I imagine Liszt improvise on anything.
Yes
Yep, his style sounds like liszt pieces
That’s exactly come to my mind listening /watching this piece! He’s the 21st-century Liszt, I’m sure the Maestro keeps smiling proudly and contentedly from Heaven.
i think what it lizst 21 too!
As a fellow pianist. WOW. Far beyond what I could do. Amazing!
Congratulations! You've mastered this incredibly difficult piece! I've been playing since 7 yrs of age and I'm now 71. I am truly humbled by your ability! Bravo!!
Absolutely mind-boggling
Easily one of, if not the best pianist the modern world has been blessed with 👏🏽
dude! you are UNBELIEVABLE!!!! YOU ARE THE WAY ABOVE THE SCALE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION! DUDE! DUUUUUDE!!! I AM SPEECHLESS!!!
Incredible. And it almost seems that he added some inspirations from Chopin and/or other artists. Definitely an amazing composition
A magical arrangement played incredibly. I didn't want this to end!!!
Yuo' right absolutelly...
I've never heard anything like this...your skill and this music makes me believe in magic 🙏😭
The modern-day Franz Liszt: taking existing symphonic pieces and turning them in to piano solos. Bravo!
if it took peter bence a while to practise then thats how you know its one of the hardest
Simply, magic through your fingers. Amazing😮 👏 👏
The greatest pianists of a classic era could rest and peace knowing that their line were not finished.
Peter Bence and Harry Potter...😭ohh I'll die from happiness❤️❤️
3:21 I can literally hear your fingers crying: "Thank you Peter, thank you. You're to gracious!"
I love his spontaneity.
Even though the video is only 5 minutes, it felt like I've watched 7 harry potter movies
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. And I thought La Campanella was difficult...
as pianist since many years, i've never heard a harry potter cover like yours. awesome
Magic Artist
There are no words that do justice to this amazing performance. Congratulations for your hard work!!
Amazing arrangement! There was definitely some dark magic involved. Maybe a few horcruxes, too.
There do not exist, in the English language, superlatives to describe this performance. Suffice to say, Mr Bence is up there, not only with today's finest pianists, but also composers/arrangers. We are not worthy.
the audio quality is absolutely phenomenal
If this doesnt go viral, I don't know what will
Are we all going to ignore the part where he played the chord with his elbow?
natural born genius
I lost my shit when I saw that it was hilarious 3:52
When you realize his elbow is more talented than your hands together
@@weiszgerber genius is made
@@JeremyThille LoL. Good one!
I’m crying and shivering, this is epic
Du bist ein ganz besonderer Pianist, einmalig, Dich wird man in 1000 Jahren noch hören.
Deutsche und 1000-Jährigkeit. Ein heißes Pflaster.
This man is the only human who would ever deserve to have an extra arm or two.
As u see, he dont need extra arms xd.
hearing harry potter music always gets me nostalgic for the first time reading the books then watching the movies, a harry potter ds game I had, and just vibes dude. Loved this so much .Very intense
I do not play piano but i can feel how much this pianist play this music in a high performance....
I hope John Williams has heard this because I think he would greatly appreciate what you have done!
Meu deus que incrível!! eu estou arrepiada! que melodia maravilhosa..
I can't even comprehend this. I just feel blessed that my ears have been lucky enough to hear it 😂
And I agreed fully with Peter Bystrom opinion!!!!!
Only the pianists can understand the great technical difficulty of this piece.... 👍👍👍
This is by far the most impressive arrangement I’ve ever seen. I felt like I was in the movie again. AMAZING
Edit: Did he really play with his freaking ELBOW???? WTH with this genius bro
Hell Yeah 📶
...another perfectly tuned piano in the hands of a master
I have never seen anybody -lay pop music with such precision.
“Ah, music, a magic beyond all we do here!”
As a beginner of playing the piano and harry potter fan, this is amazing
Its just stunning how much hard work this guy had to do to achieve those skills
If you don’t subscribe to this channel after that performance, pls pick up your defibrillator home-kit on your way out.
One of Peter‘s best performances!
I think this is one of the best piano performance in the world. Keep it up. Hats off to you.
Watching his hands jump from one end of the piano to the other like a flea seems so weirdly satisfying.
Awesome!!!!! I am blown away! Thank you for this incredible arrangement and performance. You are a truly gifted musician and obviously wonderful Potter fan. Bravo! 🎶
