This is good , I mean really good, but is too fast at times, it loses its feeling when it’s too quick. A small measure of piece or a way of life tell much more of the story too. IMO. Massive fan of your work.
You had asked several times for "The Last Samurai" by Hans Zimmer, now you get it! I tried to put all the important melodies from the soundtrack into this piano version. I hope that you like it!
@@jellyfishwithwifi6870 in the movie, this part of A Way of Life sounds peaceful and serene. In this composition, it feels peacefully sad - so much more beautiful. Great composition.
It was one of his last truly original works. It seems since Batman and Inception, so many of his soundtracks sound like a mish mosh of the same material.
This made me cry... it’s entirely beautiful and encapsulated the sadness and pain in the final scenes in the movie yet also brings a sense of peace and calm that come in the final moments of Katsumoto’s life.
This piece is so beautiful on strings, but I never though it can be rendered onto piano and still maintains its splendor and emotional depth. Really well done! I really love it.
1:34 The beginning of the "Arpeggio'esque" notes here is just amazing, though pay attention to the warmth that comes from that 2nd C note at 1:48 in the sequence, it's pure euphoria.
It is so unbelievably beautiful. I loved the song as is in the movie but wow...the piano rendition is so good...it brings tears. Thank you to Hans for putting this out there.
I lived in Japan from 1967 thru 70. I loved this movie and could understand a lot of what they were saying even without subtitles. This piano rendition is even more beautiful than the music played on the movie.
true, i'm myself a fortnite player but i seriously think to stop, this is litterally dragging me to the dark side, when a hope made of light waiting for me with that sweet melody
C'est la plus belle partition piano que j'ai pu entendre et jouer pour le thème principal du dernier samouraï! Magnifique surtout à partir de 1'40 et splendide à partir de 2'!
Patrik's renditions make me feel that rare combination of emotions: intense joy and frustration. Joy at how beautiful they are and frustration that my inept hands can't do this.
1:33 This is where you realize that this song was beyond what you thought And then at 2:22 Here you will realize that it was even more than what you thought.
I could watch this movie any day. I have seen it so many times it's impossible to count. Playing the theme on the piano certainly brings new life into an already beautiful theme. Then again, Hans Zimmer.... can't go wrong with anything written by him. arrangements are going to be amazing. Love the interactions between Ogren and the Japanese family he ended up with; how he grew to care about those kids...
One of my favourite films of all time. The story I love, but my word the music. Hans zimmer somehow has a score that not only supports the story, but tells its own without being overpowering. You have captured that perfectly in this cover. Beautiful
I don't know what it is about the music in this movie. Hans Zimmer makes great music in many, many movies. But this movie in particular, the music is just perfect. Every note. They... are all.... perfect. *sniff sniff* RIP Katsumoto
There is a moment you have sometimes. And in that moment you hear something so incredible that your brain just stops working. These moments are very rare and you only have like 20 of them in your entire life. I just had one of them. Patrik i swear man, don't ever stop. I will learn this piece with everything i got. And i don't mind how long it takes, as long i finish it. You are my inspiration. To much respect for you. Thank you for making this.
Is it normal that I have been listening to this music for 1 year every day? I love this song, you are a genius Patrik 1 - Patrik 2 - Rousseau 3 - Lionel
@HabeshaTunes Let's say that I put Patrik for his exceptional talent but also for the music chosen and played by him on his youtube channel ... That's all I like, it's my personal choice :) I leave you the link here from Lionel Yu's page a war machine and a different style :) very nice evening to you ruclips.net/user/musicalbasicsfeatured @musicalbasics
Just starting learning this piece. Got a long way to go but it's absolutely incredible, so worth it. One of my favorite piano pieces/soundtracks and one of my favorite movies.
Hi Patrik, I don't know if you're reading this but I've been listening to this piano version every other day since you first posted it. It is genuinely so beautiful. In fact, it inspired me so much that I bought my first piano recently and have started to learn how to play properly for the first time. So, thank you for this.
Me too. I 'nailed' the first 20 sec of this. I suppose it's best to start with something else to develop the necessary technical skills. These constant arpeggios across the whole keyboard are really hard, so it may take a long time. I decided to learn some beginner classics like Bach's prelude I in C major (do give it try), fur Elise etc so I'll be slowly building up towards this performance.
@clockfixer5049 If you play the first 20 seconds exactly as it is here then you must be using a recorder to overlay a loop because that's what is happening here.
"The perfect blossom is a rare thing, u can spend ur life searching for it and it won't be a wasted life" this is what he says and in the end he understands it and says "perfect, they r all perfect"
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor and fanboy out at the same time. Never thought I would hear an arrangement of that score, let alone one this perfect.
This is easily one of the best songs played by a fantastic piano player. One of my all time favorite movies and you brought it all back to life with this prefomance. Thank you
You are the reason why I fell in love with this instrument. We have something in common about the way we feel about music. You transform the music I love into something I can really grab and transform into something I do instead of just listening to. Thank you for the joy. Thank you for playing.
Incredible, might be my favourite of yours. From 1:33 I was just mesmerised, couldn't move. The only complaint I have is the fact that I get dizzy from watching too much of your playing.

Ho my god! Really? THAAAAANK YOU!
For me this remains as the best one you have ever made. It's really really outstanding!! Congrats!!
You could spend your whole life looking for the perfect piano arrangement and it would not be a wasted life
Awesome response, man... Be proud., really.
true man

4 years later, Patrick, and this is still my favourite arrangement of yours.
Love it.
Same! I’m trying to learn it, but I’d say it’s probably one of his hardest so it’s taking a while 😅
@@breeze5440 me too.. :D :D
@breeze5440
Where did you get the sheet for it?
You know he uses loops and that things can't be played with two hands right?
@@JoSwann-it9jf The sheet is in the description
@@JoSwann-it9jfNo no, it’s very much possible. Jus hard lol
"Perfect.
They... are... all... perfect..."

Thank you so much 😍😍
We would love you to play "No Time For Caution" by Hans Zimmer as well 😍😍
Please
Best wishes
As always, w'all like it. Have a nice week-end !
Thank you so much. It's amazing. I feel like i just saw the whole movie again.
This is gonna be out of left field, but since you’re doing songs I wouldn’t have expected - could you do the ‘Perfect Storm’ theme(s) by James Horner?
Thanks!!!!
1:35 .... send chills up my damn spine, why don’t yah? AMAZING
DonCorleone87 I agree. That part’s my favorite part of the song. 👍
@@jellyfishwithwifi6870 agreed
Agreed.

This soundtrack is my favorite of Hans Zimmers’ catalogue. It never gets the recognition it deserves. Well done sir!
My favorite is Time... Time is incredible, so beautiful
Neither does the movie
Best Hans Zimmer ost and best Tom Cruise performance / film
yes iam with you!!
I use to make it my ringtone..Hanz 💕
Best performance in your entire catalog. It’s perfection
The perfect piano arrangement does not exi-
This part is just amazing
3:08 - 3:55
I love Last Samurai OST, one of the most underrated Soundtracks of Zimmer. Absolutely well played, every Video you upload is an instant like!!
I second this !
Thanks! :-)
I think you just inspired me to pick up the piano again after years.
@Mitchell Chrest I am very happy about that!
It was one of his last truly original works. It seems since Batman and Inception, so many of his soundtracks sound like a mish mosh of the same material.
"You regained your honor... let me die with mine."
2:22 Legendary, iconic and beautiful. All in one…
2:21 to 2:51, Are the best notes iv'e heard in my life ❤
Best composer: Hanz Zimmer
Best arrangeur: Patrik Pietschmann
This made me cry... it’s entirely beautiful and encapsulated the sadness and pain in the final scenes in the movie yet also brings a sense of peace and calm that come in the final moments of Katsumoto’s life.

Damn man, speaks to my soul
Damn right. It's my favorite part too
Takes me back - haven't seen that film in years. Great work as always, Patrik!
it'll probably be on again this christmas
I am blown away. That movie is one of my absolute favorites and this arrangement took me right back to the first time I watched it. Thank you
This whole soundtrack is amazing. This sounds absolutely mesmerizing on the piano. Goosebumps every time.
1:34 The beginning of the "Arpeggio'esque" notes here is just amazing, though pay attention to the warmth that comes from that 2nd C note at 1:48 in the sequence, it's pure euphoria.
You dont know how deep your soul can be touched until you listen a well played amazing composition like that
👏👏👏👏👏 to Hans and Patrik
It is so unbelievably beautiful. I loved the song as is in the movie but wow...the piano rendition is so good...it brings tears. Thank you to Hans for putting this out there.
Listen to Brooklyn duo the cranberries zombie, it will melt your soul.

simply because this is what true talent looks like
How dare you use the F word, but I do agree with that this person deserves way more recognition for how amazing this is and sounds.

Damn hanz zimmer really is a Mozart of our time I’m 27 and the amount of great signature movie pieces this man’s fingers have crafted is incredible
This is most beautiful, action packed, and relaxing piece I've ever heard. This song is its own story.
1:33 This is where you realize that this song was beyond what you thought
And then at 2:22 Here you will realize that it was even more than what you thought.
Wow what a beautiful piece, made moreso by your amazing execution. I'm happy that we both share a love for Hans Zimmer.

Honestly. I would like to thank you for this. Every time I listen to this i feel like being in heaven and in peace. Thank you.
Just starting learning this piece. Got a long way to go but it's absolutely incredible, so worth it. One of my favorite piano pieces/soundtracks and one of my favorite movies.
I would learn to play the piano just to play this
No kidding, I learned the piano to play Tennessee from Perl Harbor. Since yesterday I have felt ready to learn. And meanwhile it is feasible for me (:
I first watched this back in 7th grade in 2019, and now in 2024 freshman in college still enjoying it. This is my go-to song when studying.
