If you liked this then you'll also enjoy Ebrietas, which I consider the better of my two Bloodborne arrangements: • Bloodborne ~ Ebrietas,...
Not to emotionally blackmail you or anything, but it only has 5000 views at time of writing :(

(Written at time of upload:)
It's nice to get something uploaded this week. I agreed to a chamber concert and didn't realise quite how hard the piano part to Schoenberg's first Chamber Symphony is, and I've been having an absolutely horrible time practising it.
So this has been a welcome distraction when I'm resting my hands (I recorded it a couple of weeks ago).
1:58
Mmm... I think I'm gonna watch the whole video.
@@santiagogarzon8188 That timestamp is for when 'Ludwig, The Holy Blade' actually starts. The first half is the first phase theme, 'Ludwig, The Accursed.'
@@CrazyJayThaNinja personally, I like the first phase more
@@athos401that is an extremely uncommon take, huh
Jesus ❤️ y'all
Surprised his room didn't catch fire
Thank goodness the landlord did nothing about the damp in the walls.
My man sitting alone in his bedroom arranging the best version of this OST so far. Really good job. Id love to see a Synthesia version of this.
Precisely!!
Still coming back to this one. You’re playing and arranging is so good I’m actually confused you’re not performing this on grand piano.
Jesus ❤️ y'all
This guy deserves a lot more attention
Everyone is gangsta until the horse pick up the glowing stick
You have a very good way of compromising for the piano while keeping the character of the original, which is equally impressive as your actual performance of the arrangement
*Aah, you were at my side all along.*
*My true mentor... My guiding moonlight...*
I never comment on videos like this, but my god. As a beginner/intermediate pianist, I've been looking for good arrangements for this OST just to satisfy my thrill for good music, and I haven't been able to find any for Ludwig. You, sir, have definitely not only satisfied my ears, but your passion and the way you played this is exactly what I was looking for. I will put this in my to learn list for future reference, and will definitely support you on patreon the moment I get a chance to.
I know these long comments are usually cringy, but I couldn't help myself but express how absolutely breathtaking your playing was. Would love to be your neighbor.
clark kent you just cant stop cooking can you
super piano man
I admit, I was a bit doubtful when I clicked this. I didn't think a solo piano could capture the complexity and feel of the piece.
I am so glad to be wrong! This is astounding! And your dynamic control is incredible, really makes it come alive!
lmao this is peak youtube. Dude drops *the best* ludwig cover on this site and it sits at 58k more than two years later... Great energy and insane performance
Aah, you were at my side, all along.
My true mentor...
My guiding moonlight...
Interesting, lots of people called the second phase a waltz, but only in this transcription I noticed how much the first one resembles a tango
I did slightly emphasise the tango connection, but I still think it's there in the writing.
This was at 100k views not too long ago.
Earlier today it was at 120 and now it's at 121k. I LOVE the growth of this song and I love that the community is finding it.
It was always a much stronger performer than my other videos but it seems to have really jumped recently.
@@TheSlowPianistWith great reason! This is an amazing performance, man. You're incredibly talented. I listen to this occasionally. I want to be able to play it someday.
@@TheSlowPianist because it shows up very high on the youtube recommendation (second or third place) when you search for Ludwig Holy Blade OST (don't even have to add piano cover or something). Probably also because of the new Elden Ring DLC/Soulsborne hype as well.
Ludwig van Bloodborne
I couldn't stop smiling when the glissandos came, what a godtier arrangement and performance
I don't see a problem with these glissandos. Should he play the scales up and down instead, just as the violins in the original did?
@@andreisolo No I didn't say anything was wrong with them au contraire that was really clever hence the smile on my face.... He did play the scales variation right after btw
I just want you to play Lord of the frenzy flame Midra’s ost like you did with this one… that would be sooo dope 🤩 The energy is just unmatched
3:02 This is a festival of dissonance and i love it!!! My favourite piano arrangment of the song!! ♡
Easily the best rendition of the song I've heard. So many other versions feel uninspired, taking either too many creative liberties or too few. This maintains the essence of the original but is well-adapted to the instrument. I hope to see more work in the future from you.
Ah you were by my side all along, my guiding piano light
literally the best piano cover of this song on the internet right now
Just beat this boss today, went looking for covers of the song. This is incredible!
Congratulations on the fight!
Welcome to the Bloodborne pit.
This might be the most beautiful arrangement of any piece I’ve heard. There’s just something about how he plays all instruments basically at the same time, but only on one piano, it seems insanely difficult, but wow. Ludwig the holy blade is one of my favorite pieces but it’s really difficult to capture all the magic on just the piano, and I feel like this does just that.
dude your dynamics are fucking masterful, so incredibly expressive and true to this piece's intent. incredible cover, amazing work
i know we're all here for the second phase, but your playing of the first phase was incredible as well
Finally, I found the most underrated video on youtube
absolutely amazing performance, love how this was all done beside what appears to be a bed
@@itzmrinyy7484 Ah well, you see, classical education has us training alongside all sorts of furniture from an early age. Fridges, wardrobes, desk lamps - not one of them affects my playing these days!
What a pleasant gift the night before I leave for the army. I'll continue to keep my eyes and ears open during my time serving. Much love! :)
Oh, wow. Good luck! Active service or national?
@@TheSlowPianist Thank you! National, currently signed for about a year.
@@Shademarc In any case, all the best. I hope you get many valuable things from it.
Thx YT for the recommmendation
2:53
The smoothest page turn of all.
Hang on, since when was this at 20K views? What's happened?
This arrangement is just amazing, you definetely deserve many more views. I've watched it like 10 times
You deserve it so much, congratulations !
Amazing piece of work
This is incredible but do you have the sheet music to this?
algorithm for me! :D
Thought bros room was gonna blow up 😭🔥
It was beautiful, but damn, that waltz part really gave me a goosebumps
the start is so slow but the complete shift in tone in the end makes it so much more worth it. its like when you try not to show off and people make fun of you so you show them what you can real do.
Finally a piano version that really does justice to Ludwig
This is by far one of the best video game OST arrangements for piano I think I've ever heard. Great stuff!
So this just randomly on your fyp too huh?
dude this is definitely the closest to the original. You fuckking nailed it! and made my day
he is NOT a SlowPianist
I agree. Can't stop hearing
this is one of the most beautiful piano arrangements and/or performances i have ever heard
I just started the DLC and haven’t seen Ludwig with my own eyes yet, but I’ve already shat my pants, thanks! Incredible performance 🙏
One of the best boss fights in video game history, enjoy 🔥
Just saw that you answered comments recently so let me tell you that this and Ebrietas are some of the best piano performances of souls music I've ever heard, and I find myself returning to them every once in a while. You are simply, masterfully good at this, and I hope you shall make more in the future!
@@juliansenni6279 Thank you very much! Glad that people are discovering and enjoying them.
Something I truly love about the piano is the way it's impossible to play it without just giving yourself over to the emotionality of of whatever you're playing. Seeing your posture straighten as you got to *the* moment and then alternate between that and the hunch. That's Ludwig's struggle between beast and man, baby! That's music right there!
... My guiding Moonlight (sonata)...
I never thought The Holy Blade could sound as epic in one instrument as it sounds with the full orchestra. I stand corrected.
In Gherman's words: "Holy crap, good Hunter".
SHEEEESH that’s insane man well done!! yt algorithm finally showing me what i need
i'm a couple years late, but you fucking killed this
A post from the dark souls community in fb lead me here. I love how you played it! Legendary!
Aha, my influence is spreading!
Seathposting?
i can see those eyes glaring at me!! 😭
Holy shit. Just WOW. Man you're so fucking good
Ah, so you were at my side all along... My true mentor... My guiding Moonlight *horse sounds*
I never understood how someone could cry simply from watching a piano performance. Not until I came across this video. Thank you for allowing me to relive some of my greatest childhood memories through your astounding musicianship.
I absolutely need the sheet music on this thing, holy shit
This has to be the most detailed version I've seen of this, you are exceptionally talented my friend. I am not sure how to describe it but your timing? Sounds amazing, idk what to call it I don't play any instrument currently , anyway you seem very talented to me and really fluid. Great stuff.
Ridiculous. Absolutely insane. Cheers
Just realized that I've been watching this on a daily basis for months, This is probably the piano solo performance of all time
By the way, did this video get linked somewhere? I've noticed quite a big recent increase in views, comments, etc.
Sometimes the algorithm works in mysterious ways, and unearths uploads from months or years ago. Especially when they're music related for some reason. At least that's how I found you and this video. And I'm glad I did, it's a wonderful arrangement, well done :)
goofy ah algorithim mein
good work though, liked it :]
youtube recommending this video to everyone
Including me
@@LimaBr_ Well that's good!
Holy Shit this is amazing. Imagine Bloodborne 2 announcement to this😭
The best piano version I’ve seen for this piece so far!!!
From soft needed an orchestra. You, a piano 😂
I am at a loss for words. Amazing!!!!
Not only is the arrangement impressive and requires a ton of skill to arrange and play, your controll over tempo and dynamics is amazing and adds so much emotions to the piece. This is the best piano cover of this piece I heared. Good job man.
idk what i enjoyed more, the music, or how this mad lad enjoys what he's doing there
Ahh, you were at my side all along. My true keyboard. My guiding music sheet.
Wow, really captured the energy and emotion from the original. Well done
Underappreciated! THIS is the best version of this song!
Wooooooooooow it's sooooooo amazing bro! You are real master of piano! It is masterpiece. You're good hunter.
Mad sheet turning skills brah
Bro living the music with such joy! Loved your performance
Omg how did I miss this? You're easily one of my favorite pianist on RUclips, and you played some pieces from my favorite game without me noticing.. ! absolutely astonishing, as always... please, never stop ! :)
(Sorry for my awful english)
Pas du tout, ton niveau d'anglais est impressionnant.
Glad to know enought about piano to know that this is really impressive.
Exactly, thats the best version of Ludwig theme on piano I have ever heard, and I hope that one day I will find the sheet of this beautiful piece of Bloodborne❤
Wow. This was incredibly accurate, and amazing. The level of precision achieved in this transposition, I thought it was impossible. But you almost made it sound better than the original. You are not just a talented performer, as this piece right here seems really difficult, but also a genial composer and transposer. Congratulations.
It’s funny how it’s almost reminiscent of the Super Mario World castle theme. Which incidentally backed a castle inhabited by a Ludwig
Your covers send me straight to heaven
This has to be one of the best covers i ever heard, i come here once a while just to apreciate your good work
Hey bro I’m late the party but this was the most incredible thing I’ve seen in awhile. Cheers to you dude
Come in and grab an oversized red cup!
Easily the best piano arrangement I've heard of this piece. Bravo!
best piano arrangement I ever heard. your page turning skill is also very impressive, it takes a lot of practice as well 😄
Here nearly 3 years later after beating ludwig today on my second playthrough of the game. 10/10 cover
It's so good! I never heard such a perfect cover performance! Cover so closely resembles the original music, that it seems to me that just a little more and I will hear the choir singing, trombones humming and violins screaming. It's just incredible!
Many covers suffer from a bad rhythm, but your cover was just incredible pleasant - it seems to me that it can be superimposed on top of the original track and we won't hear a single delay.
Perfect match to the rhythm, tempo and tone of the original, perfect cover!
Miracle's secret youtube account for playing piano LMAO
We look like each other but you will never know.
Okay, I listen to the original OST for Ludwig way too much and it's began getting boring for me, and I've been trying to find good covers of it to help reignite my love for it, and by God, this was breathtaking, most other piano covers sound lifeless and plain in comparison to the original OST, but this really captures the mood, you may have done it for me. Spectacular work, friend!
Just stop listening to it for 2 weeks or so...kinda hard for music as good as Ludwig's theme
Dont tell my gf this better than sex
@@samparajuli2653 I'm sure she'd agree!
I need this arrangement on spotify
"A welcome distraction when I'm resting my hands" Meanwhile, I'm looking at my tiny hands hardly able to hold an octave without fudging and cursing god for not giving me Rachmanihands
My goat doesn't miss
Gosh, what a great arrangement and such gorgeous playing!
Hollllyyyyyy shittt this is so good!! Best arrangement of this OST 😍😍
im glad to listen such a great quality piano cover of souls game
Insane arrangement bro. One of the best bloodborne covers ever. Also you remind me a ton of kyle landry which is a very good thing
If i could be half as good as you i wouldn't ask more of life (this is amazing)
But you were at my side, all along. My guiding moonlight. Rahahhahahah
Wonderful work. May the moonlight guide your path!
You feel the music and that makes it much better. I stand up to recognize your awesome talent and congratulate you for making this kind of art with your piano. You're very talented 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ludwig but you fight him in the end of dark souls 1
I’ve only been playing piano for a few months I don’t know why I’m trying to convince myself this is possible for me 🗿
Why did I only now discover this?? Great job!
UUUUUGGGHH im just obsessed on how GOOD your dynamics are
I didn’t think it could ever sound so good on piano!! This is amazing
lol your room is like mine, a bed and a piano
The best piano cover I have seen so far. Much Love
