Huge, huge thankyou to the legend himself, Verdegrand for helping me to make sure that this transcription of his beautiful original arrangement was made as accurate as possible. I am so excited and so honoured to finally share this transcription with you all. I know that this piece, and this incredible arrangement especially, resonates in the hearts of many and I am not the only one who has highly sought after it. Enjoy!!!

I don't understand why the 3rd grade level versions of this have like 200k-1mil views and this masterpiece is almost invisible within the youtube algorithm. This is as good as a transcription can get
Thankyou so much for the kind words and for taking the time to watch! I'm so glad my video made its way to you!
its because he is a smaller youtuber, so his videos are suggested less
this not getting the recognition it deserves is criminal
You ever listen to a song so good it makes you wanna cry?
I’ve watched hundreds, maybe even thousands, of piano performances on RUclips and this could very well be the best. The two melodies in the right hand were completely masterful, and being able to focus on that while jumping the left hand everywhere must take insane amounts of focus. Amazing job!!
Wow I'm humbled by your words, thankyou so much! And thankyou for noticing the ongoing two melodies in the right hand, Verdegrand's masterful arranging at work!
Agreed. It’s perfect. Truly.
holy crap I'm glad I clicked on this
This is the only cover I have seen where you continue to play the main five note part throughout every single other part of the song. Very impressive.
Thankyou for the kind words and for watching! Verdegrand's implementation of the continual reoccurrence of that 5-note motif throughout this piece is truly special, and I appreciate you for noticing that!
How did this not pop up in my feed sooner? BRAVO! This is the BEST piano cover of this song, and one of the best covers of the song, period. I cannot believe how you managed to tie in so many elements of this piece that usually get cut due to the limitations of only two hands!
The algorithm is a beautiful thing! 🥹 Thankyou so much for the incredibly kind words and for taking the time to watch my video! I truly appreciate it a lot! This masterful arrangement was actually created by a legend in his own right, Verdegrand; and I too, was in awe of all the complex elements he included when I heard it the first time... and the countless times after haha. It was an absolute treat to work with Verdegrand himself to transcribe this incredible arrangement (along with "Forest Interlude") and to really analyze the inner workings of just exactly how he puts together and creates these complex arrangements. Then, to finally go and play them is just absolutely rewarding, especially when I get incredible comments like yours!
I love it when pianists do the bass line starting at 0:25 properly. Good job!
Thankyou for the kind words and thankyou for watching!
SAME, sounds fantastic!
You are insanely talented
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
One of the best piano covers of this song I've heard
Thankyou for your kind words and thankyou for watching!
I love this song
Great job juggling those separate lines while keeping them distinct, nice arrangement
Thankyou for the kind words and for watching! Verdegrand's arrangements are truly iconic!
To be able to play all that with two hands is extremely impressive, beautiful rendition of one of my favourite pieces of music ❤
Thankyou for the kind words and thankyou for watching!
This is so good great job
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
daha önce hiç dinlemediği bi şarkı insanı eskilere götürür mü.. götürürmüş
Bro, you’re awesome, I ever saw good pianists but you play very well awesome performance.
Thanks so much for the kind words and thanks so much for watching!
Me: Wow this arrangement style seems really familiar!
*checks description* OF COURSE IT'S VERDEGRAND! That man's arrangements gave me a terrible wrist injury. Absolutely stunning performance, well done!
Thankyou so much for your kind words and for watching my video! Haha yes, the one and only! I'm so sorry to hear about your wrist injury 😓 I hope you've recovered/are recovering and are able to play some piano again soon!
Hats off to the super saiyan of piano. Dudes fingers look like they are on fast forward. Remarkable performance sir.
Thankyou so much once again for your kind words and for watching! I really appreciate it!
Absolutely breath taking
YOU'RE breathtaking :')
Who knew such a simple sounding song was so complex to play, I have no clue what is going on here ahahahahaha
omfg! this is amazing! so soulful and articulate, you see, I'm a pianist too, I started when I was 5 and now I'm 22, it's been an awesome journey for me, kudos!
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching my video! That's amazing to hear, keep it up!
This has officially blown my mind. Unreal
perfection
The BEST piano rendition of Stickerbrush I've ever heard. I fucking cried throughout man, great job and very talented.
Thankyou so much for your kind words and for watching, I really appreciate it!
This is absolutely insane. Sounds like two guys playing Piano. Wow! One of the best piano performances ive ever saw on youtube.
Thankyou so much for watching and for your kind words! Verdegrand definitely has a knack for creating arrangements that sound like multiple people at the piano, and I'm so glad I could pull that feeling off with this one!
This made my night
amen bro
Beautiful display of skill
Thankyou for the kind words and for watching!
So amazing. Thanks for sharing! Wish I was this good at Piano.
Thankyou for the kind words and thankyou for watching!
just perfect.
Thankyou!
*stops - cries a little*
wow, just wow man!
Thankyou!
This is hard to even comprehend. The video looks like it's on 2x speed. Amazing
Thanks so much for the kind words! It took a lot of practice lol.
This is straight gorgeous.
Thankyou so much!
0:04 Imagine hearing this out of context. It isn't immediately obvious why the melody is so familiar, 0:25 and then it HITS you.
Wow....well done! That was an amazing performance
Thankyou so much for your kind words and for watching my video!
This mad lad made the best stickerbush symphony cover on youtube AND gave us free sheet music!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Absolute legend. No doubt in my ind you earned a like and a sub. This needs more attention too.
Thankyou so much for the kind words and for watching! Verdegrand's arrangements are truly iconic! Enjoy the sheet music!
Perfection. I've never seen some playing like this
Thankyou for your kind words and thankyou for watching! Happy new year as well!
maravillosoo! me llevo a volar esta interpretación
Thankyou for the kind words and thankyou for watching!
This was exactly what I wanted to here. Perfect 👌
La mejor versión que he escuchado para piano 🎹😃
What a great arrangement for piano!! By far far far, the best.
The bass notes at the second part when the percussion starts (original) you manage to make us feel the rythm ! Very cool 😎
Thankyou so much for your kind words and thankyou so much for watching!
I absolutely agree! Verdegrand's arrangements are just magical to say the least.
That's probably my favourite part of this arrangement and one of the main reasons I transcribed and learned it. I'm so glad you appreciate it too!
*OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE!!*
Thankyou!
This is nuts
Thank you so much for this! It's a blessing to have the transcription of this legendary arrangement of Verdegrand, and not only that, but a masterful interpretation of it. Thanks for all your hard work! I'll give a try to this song someday on my keyboard, it sounds a bit difficult but not impossible, I now I can do it, especially because I love DK songs.
Greetings from Chile! 🇨🇱
Thanks so much for your kind words, it was an honour to create this transcription! It's definitely not impossible, you can do it! Goodluck and enjoy!
I’m starting Piano but I’ll never be this good, this is beautiful 😭
Thankyou for watching and thankyou for the kind words! Good luck on your piano journey!! Aim to be the best that you can be!
Don't feel bad. Nobody will ever be this good. lol
@@thiagovidal6137 lmoa, this is such an amazing piece. Thank you DJA 28. I know this isnt your arrangement tho but still thank you
Keep working at it you'll get there
Probably After 25 years still best music score in any game level for me.
This is absolutely incredible, seriously. Thank you for sharing this, absolutely loved it
Thankyou so much for your kind words and thankyou so much for watching! I'm so glad you loved it!
Thanks so much for transcribing this. I had learnt another version of stickerbush symphony from another synthesia arrangement, and whilst immensely satisfying, I was absolutely floored by verdegrands arrangement. This is going to be a real challenge but could well be the best piece I ever learn. Amazing performance and kudos to you!!
Thankyou so much for your kind words and for watching! I know exactly how you feel, which is why I actually ended up doing this transcription/cover :) Good luck on tackling this amazing arrangement and if you need any tips or help, feel free to reach out!
@@DJA28 no worries, if I ever get around to it I'll record it and put it on my channel and link it. :)
Esta es la mejor versión de piano que he visto en todo internet!
Thankyou so much!
This is the best keyboard performance I have ever witnessed, and this song breaks my heart with nostalgia.
Thankyou for your kind words and for watching! I transcribed the sheet music and made this cover because I too was heartbroken with nostalgia.
Just back to let you know that your piano rendetion of this song just helped me through some pretty rough mental health struggles recently, so effectively that it couldn't compare to any other music that I enjoy. Thank you again for being able to perform this so well.
Thankyou so much for coming back and sharing this, I really appreciate it a lot. It is truly humbling that my cover could provide such a great positive effect for you during this difficult time in your life. I hope that things are getting better for you and that those rough times are a thing of the past. Thankyou once again for your kind words and I hope that my music can continue to provide you with comfort and positivity no matter what the circumstance.
What a great job. Best cover of the song ever.
Thankyou for your kind words and thankyou for watching!
HOLY Moly ! So crazy, how long did you practise this one?
Thats crazy good!
This deserves more attention!
Thankyou so much for your kind words and for watching my video! I really appreciate it!
It's hard to say exactly how long I practiced this piece in particular because I worked with Verdegrand on this transcription for a few months. During those few months, I also practiced playing it as well and there were several versions with various changes throughout those few months. If i remember correctly it took me a week or so to learn the 1st iteration of this piece, so that's how long I would say it would have taken me to learn this piece in general!
@@DJA28 very impressive :o Wow ! ♥
just watching you play it is impressive enough, youre very skilled
Thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it!
That left hand thoooooooooooo
This almost made me cry while I've realized I can't live the good old times of my childhood. Great performance though, very emotional.
Thankyou for the kind words and thankyou for watching! I felt the exact same way.
La mejor versión que he visto en piano de la obra maestra
Thankyou so much for your kind words and thankyou for watching!
This is beautiful, thank you for sharing this gem!
Thanks so much for watching and thanks so much for your support!!!
I've been playing piano for about 12 years now and I wish I could play this song. You are an amazing pianist.
Thankyou so much for watching and thankyou so much for your kind words! I hope one day you'll be able to play it, it's so much fun!
AWESOME!!!
Incredible ! playing so many instruments parts on one piano, so great cover, catching all the subtilities of chords and notes of the original song. Bravo !
Thanks so much for your kind words! Verdegrand's arrangements are absolutely masterful!
This got me very emotional. David Wise has been an absolute huge influence on me as a game composer, and this song always brings a (happy) tear to my eye. Beautifully done!
Thanks so much!
very very impressive. wow. well done sir. thank you. it was excellent and enjoyfu
Thankyou for the kind words and thankyou for watching!
this is absolutely insane. I can't even see your fingers playing the melody
It's definitely insane but I love it lol. Playing the melody *and* an accompaniment voice in the right hand alone, and at some points switching between both hands haha. Verdegrand's arrangements are nothing short of legendary!
Beautiful arrangement, incredible technique 👌
Verdegrand is a master arranger! Thanks so much!
@@DJA28 and you're a master at playing his arrangements ;) gj
I really appreciate that, thankyou!!
Awesome performance!
Brings back nostalgic memories from 20 years ago
Thankyou for the kind words and thankyou for watching! I'm glad to have brought back some nostalgia for you.
Excellent right hand coordination!
thanks man!
Damn, very nice, that right hand looks quite technical
Thanks! Yes, multiple voices in one hand can be tricky to convey lol
wow 😮🤩 just beautiful my friend
That's a beautiful piano! Love the playing as well ^^
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Wooo thanks for the sheet music and great playing! 😆👍👍
Thankyou for your kind words and thanks for watching! Enjoy and goodluck!
@@DJA28 Thank YOU very much! I had heard the original guys version of it before and at the time he didn't have it notated out to share. So glad you have it here. And I'm definitely going to need luck and practice with this one!! But it's beautiful sounding and worth it. Thanks again dude!
This deserves more views. Easily the best piano play I've ever seen in my life
Thankyou so much for your kind words and for watching!
another Verdegrand piece in the books, beautiful!
I'm so glad this one is finally available for all!
Wow, that was amazing!
Thanks so much!
You have a beautiful playing of that super emblematic track
Thankyou so much!
Beautifully played. You are skilled.
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching!
Absolutely masterful, great job! Wow
Thankyou for your kind words and thankyou for watching!
Crack.
te salio perfecto.
Éxito.
Saludos.
Thankyou for watching!
WOW. Insane performance, great job!
Thankyou!
Beautifully done. 0:37 (measure 14&15) is so hard wow
also thank you so much for including the sheets. love the song/arrangement
Thanks so much! Goodluck and have fun!
Amazing. How does this video not have more views!!!!! Every bit as good as the original!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!!
Dude WTF why is this song on piano better than a lot of Mozart piano pieces. David wise is a true modern genius
Wow. Amazing! After listening to Verdegrand's version when he released his, never thought anyone would even come close to performing it well as as he did. But this is as close it gets! Did you manage to transcribe it all by ear? I was going to learn it by ear, but thanks to you I can just use the sheet music now :p. Again, congrats on a great performance
Thankyou so much for your kind words! I did transcribe it by ear, however fortunately for me, I was able to work together with Verdegrand himself to make sure the transcription was as accurate as possible!
@@DJA28 Awesome man! Will look forward to your future vids :)
Excellent work, very impressive! A big hand is really needed to get to play the first chord, bar 49!
GABB!!!
Thanks so much!! Yea, there are a couple chords here where I wished my hands were just the slightest bit bigger haha
Hermosa interpretación ❤ me regreso a mi niñez 😊
Thankyou for the kind words and thankyou for watching!
you played the melody so well, i love donkey kong. could make a tutorial? please 🥲
Nice
cool
Wow
I'm speechless..
This literally brought a tear to my eye.. I hope that someday i'm skilled enough to play this arrangement..
Bom demaiss!!!!
wow great performance!! one of the best game soundtracks!!
Thanks so much for your kind words! Good luck on your journey with this piece and don't hesitate to ask if you need any help! You're absolutely correct in regards to arrangement vs. transcription. Basically, Verdegrand arranged "Stickerbush Symphony" himself, and his piano cover is actually the original version of what I played. What I did, is simply write everything he played into sheet music! We worked together so that I could make the sheet music as accurate as possible, and now the sheet music is available for the whole world to enjoy! :D Thanks so much once again for your kind words and for your support, I truly appreciate it!!
Que perfeição🤩
magnificent. just fascinating. thank u.
im sure u have the classical music experience right?
(btw, i definitely need the 3rd hand to play this score lol)
Thankyou for the kind words!
Yes, I am a classically trained pianist :)
Lol yes, Verdegrand's arrangements are so special in that 2 hands can accomplish what would ideally take 3 hands or sometimes even 4 hands haha
Good job.
How long you been playing piano for?
Thanks! I started learning piano around 1995.
@@DJA28 😢damn
wow imagine if I could do that.
Where r u broo I miss u almost a year
Sorry! I'll be back one day!
Chopin would be proud
very cool, black hitler
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thankyou!
Thank you for this beautiful performance. May I ask if this was recorded off the built-in speakers of the P125? The bass is so powerful and clear. If it was an external speaker, what do you use for it? Thank you!
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching! This was actually not recorded with the built-in speakers, nor through an external speaker. Instead, I have my piano connected to my computer via USB and what you're hearing is a piano sample library (with EQ and reverb) playing through my DAW :)
@@DJA28 thank you for the answer! good to know. really beautiful sounding
Ok, now I feel amateur.
