I love how this rendition doesn't just go through the same notes two or three times, it changes things up and tells a sort of story. From the beginning the standard theme plays, reenacting Kirby's first confrontation with Marx. But right after the first iteration (around 1:07 ) things change. To me this brings to mind the final blow of that first fight. Marx is sent hurtling into the comet Nova, likely trying to hold onto whatever semblance he can. Around 1:24, Marx's lifeless body floats amid the debris of the destroyed comet, slowly being soaked in its energy until he is strong enough to return to life. As he absorbs more of Nova's power and begins his metamorphosis into Marx Soul (and the music heightens in intensity), he transports Kirby to a new battleground for one last clash with the hero who took everything from him. Cue 2:21, a haunting reprise of the main theme to offset how unhinged Marx Soul appears. Coming right after a high-energy section makes this one even more beautiful and frightening to listen to, as if Marx was regaining his composure after an outburst. Playing the first portion an octave lower helps the creepy factor a lot. From here the reprise continues, largely the same as before but with different chords or progressions in some places to denote that this battle, while similar to the last, isn't quite the same. 3:27 is where everything comes apart for Marx Soul--despite his new powers and renewed vigor he falls to Kirby again, this time (presumably) for good. The frenzied tone here is perfect for Marx's last throes of anguish as his body is destroyed, followed by an eerie repeat of the melody's iconic first notes as a final send-off for Marx. An amazing rendition of a fantastic piece, wonderful job.
3:27 I imagined at the moment Kirby defeats Marx, Marx in his last moments helplessly and desperately tells Kirby: how is it possible this cannot be happening...I thought I'd get it... I had it all to win, I gave it my all and still ended up defeated, my last chance was ruined, kirby, how did you do it? Kirby: 🫤🫴 Marx:Haaaaaaaaaaaaa.......
idk whether it's a different perspective on this, that makes this music much more beautiful or the equivalent of an english teacher overanalyzing 1 sentence
Zohar002 PLEASE LET US KNOW YOU ARE BACK!!!!!!!! PLEASE, you have been one of the best pianists I have ever heard in my life. No other youtuber has so many memorable compositions. Please speak to us!
thank you so so so so so much for making this, i have literally ALWAYS wanted to hear an in depth piano cover of this song that captures the mournful lunatic energy of the composition. this is so extremely satisfying beyond what i'd hoped for, thank you so much
That's great you're back! We all missed you for years! What about your other awesome videos, including "Corridors of time," "Secret forest" etc.? Will we be able to see them again? Those were the best piano arrangements I've ever seen!
Is he really back? I've been listening to these piano arrangements for years. They've gotten me through some dark days. Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming
For a couple of years I have been coming back to your channel to listen to your renditions. Just a moment ago I got really bummed out seeing but two videos left, only to discover you´re back with a new channel! Welcome back!
It's hard to believe this account might be the real zohar, but if it is, why so late? Still thank you so much for your arrangements, which had inspired many others like me to play piano!
i don't know if you are zohar but i think it doesn't matter, it's always good to find another piano channel on youtube. i'm looking forward to hear one of your arrangements.
Are you really Zohar002? His music means a lot to me and I've been haunting his channel for years (only to see it recently removed). If you're not him, you need to say so. You're getting people's hopes up.
If you really are Zohar002, please do a Reddit AMA. There are so many fans, worldwide, who want to know why the arrangements stopped so abruptly, and for so many years.
dude... im so angry right now...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! do you know how long weve been waiting to hear from you?! you have a fan base that think you may of even died!! I hope this is the real Zohar im so excited...
Could you re-upload or re-record the old songs you did? Your renditions were a step up from the other great performances people have done before and since, and it would be a real gift to all of your fans as well as all the fans of videogame music in general.
You’re quite mistaken here. I’ve known this man since he was a child, and he is a genuine prodigy. By age 9, he was already playing Nikolai Kapustin and had mastered both books of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier. In this video, I believe he sight-read the piece, and this might be only his third playthrough. If you watch carefully, you’ll notice how each repeat is a unique variation, showcasing his exceptional technique. Instead of letting your ego cloud your judgment, try to appreciate the incredible talent he brings to the world. Despite his prodigious abilities, he has always been a humble performer. Unfortunately, he often encounters people with your mindset, which he finds disheartening. Holding onto such a perspective will hinder your own growth, as it prevents you from learning and appreciating new things.
@@Rearview373 "mastered" WTC by age 9? I simply don't believe you. Any videos? Thereare two kids in the world who mastered E flat minor prelude and fugue = the whole WTC is IMPOSSIBLE to master at age 9, delusions run high :) Any accompanist can sight read this piece3 like that. This guy is NOT at all a profigy in the slightest. No, he does no have incredible talent at all, maybe he has some average talent, but a very overinflated self-esteem. His technique is quite poor for his age, far from exceptional. Goodle Elisey Mysin Sahsa Dovgan, Fedya Kutuzov, Andrey Goncharov, Michael Andreas, Roman Sher, Gleb Semyonov, LevBakirov. You must be his mum? Recalibrate yourself. He won't be a concert pianist. Time will tell, but here is my reasonable prediction. And no, he is not at all a prodigy.
@@MishaSkripach Mom ? lol I'm his best friend, and I know he has videos of it and will upload them for me if I ask. His piano teacher before grad school and from a young was Dr. Clara Park and Dr. Martin Jones(look them up I assume you're smart enough to use google) from Augusta University has been since he was a young kid. This video actually was recorded in 2005 you do not know his technique now or why he choose to play it this way he plays Jazzy tunes this way because it sounds more free. He has a Doctorates of Musical Arts in Piano Performance from Peabody Conservatory and is leagues ahead of any of that mess you call music on your page. I let the fellows at AU listen to your mess and we had a chuckle. No only does he perform he also wrote incredible arrangements that people universally love, you can find the rest of his stuff uploaded on youtube. He plays all over Japan and Korea where all the real prodigies are that don't need the attention that you crave.
@@Rearview373 Saige, refrain from engaging in a dispute with this attention seeking troll. Thanks for standing up for me but you are mistaken It was not the entirety of the WTC back then; it was approximately twelve years old when I started tackling the majority of the book. I was primarily working my way into fugues at that time. Can you also edit the post and remove my teacher's real names please and school please.

Zohar, the wind is calling
I love this comment! 😆
As soon as I saw this was up again, I downloaded it immediately.. can't risk it getting taken down again
That's great you're back! We all missed you for years!
What about your other awesome videos, including "Corridors of time," "Secret forest" etc.? Will we be able to see them again? Those were the best piano arrangements I've ever seen!
They're being transferred along with their views to this channel by RUclips.
But why so long?
We all miss you
Your performance and arrangements are the best. I'm so glad that after so many years you finally come back!
Welcome back Zohar!! We all missed you! Thank you for your wonderful playing and inspiration!
Closest arrangement I’ve seen, and you made it better
holy shit, you're a real person?!
Is he really back? I've been listening to these piano arrangements for years. They've gotten me through some dark days. Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming
You're not dreaming.
I can totally relate!
This was on youtube on another channel but was removed years ago, glad it's back
Zohar? No, the original no longer dwells on this plane.
The way you play it is beautiful and the arrangement is magnificent. I really want the sheets.
2:34 and 0:49 are my favorite parts of this beautiful song.
For a couple of years I have been coming back to your channel to listen to your renditions. Just a moment ago I got really bummed out seeing but two videos left, only to discover you´re back with a new channel! Welcome back!
I'm so glad to see you here ! I hope you'll continue to make us dream :)
I'mma share this you deserve more
THE KING IS BACK
It's hard to believe this account might be the real zohar, but if it is, why so late?
Still thank you so much for your arrangements, which had inspired many others like me to play piano!
wow this is incredible
I'd do anything for this sheetmusic
Insane how this vid impacted me years ago...
Hey, Willfox!
Please upload everything again! :( I listen to your music every day for over 6 years now and then suddenly all of your videos are gone :'(
i don't know if you are zohar but i think it doesn't matter, it's always good to find another piano channel on youtube. i'm looking forward to hear one of your arrangements.
Great arrangement! I hear a lot of Ravel in this (and I love it)
Magnificent, I feel a lot of influence from Ravel
Are you really Zohar002? His music means a lot to me and I've been haunting his channel for years (only to see it recently removed). If you're not him, you need to say so. You're getting people's hopes up.
I agree.
Well, if it's really him, hopefully he's going to upload new videos
@@florianl7644 Well, it appears he has. And they're very good new piano arrangements by him too
If you really are Zohar002, please do a Reddit AMA. There are so many fans, worldwide, who want to know why the arrangements stopped so abruptly, and for so many years.
Ohmygosh!!
Awesome piece! (so sinister for Kirby :o)
Smooth and epic
This is superb - I am such a huge fan. Would love to get a link to a complete copy of the piano score when if/when it is finished.
Any news on when the videos from the other channel will be uploaded? I miss hearing them...
So am I
3 months and no news :'(

This is so beautiful! I want to play it!
dude... im so angry right now...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! do you know how long weve been waiting to hear from you?! you have a fan base that think you may of even died!! I hope this is the real Zohar im so excited...
Wait...he IS back! Omg!
Wooooooooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sheet music?
Love it! Should have done kirby's triumphant return at the end though
Can you upload your old covers to this channel PLEASE! I wish I could download it before it went down. :(
Or maybe you could re-record it? It would be terrific! I love your arrangements and playing style.
Perfect! Sheet Music pls
Amazing :)
My god Zohar002, please give us an answer, we need you a lot. you are legend really.
First thing I did when I saw this video had been re-uploaded after many years of it being gone was to download it to my phone
Is this really you, Zohar?? I can't believe it!!
Battle music for Marx’s Soul’s Soul

Thanks, can't beat listening to me play while sitting in ZG boost lmao
@@FunnyPianoZoharsanta, is that you??
COME BACK! Who are you? I want to buy your CD???

Could you re-upload or re-record the old songs you did? Your renditions were a step up from the other great performances people have done before and since, and it would be a real gift to all of your fans as well as all the fans of videogame music in general.
