Hello fellow hetalian

[@shinoataya]

I'm so glad this is one of the first comments to show up.

[@Coversbycass]

You know you're screwed when your music makes shapes, subliminal messages, and the printer runs out of ink

[@kaypooma]

that's a lot of ink

[@Ziarea]

YEAH I CAN PLAY THIS! from 3:20 onwards.

[@miloslantis]

Cheryl Tay Lol really

[@reversestudios1055]

Same

[@carlosrosales1712]

I still couldn’t play that

[@Christian-my4dp]

I can play the 437 bar rest Prelude from the Hope in C and C# Minor

[@orsemcore]

you can stretch an 11th?

[@woohoorandom]

UN Was Her and Death Waltz are two completely different pieces of music. I'm not going to explain it in full, but this is UN Owen and it is composed by ZUN and boss theme of Flandre Scarlet from the videogame series Touhou.

[@Cutebunni]

death waltz is basically UN Was her but in a piano version

[@woohoorandom]

No they're completely different songs. I couldn't find Death Waltz on KZbin, but if you know even the slightest thing about sheet music you should be able to tell the difference. Death Waltz by John Stump : socks-studio.com/2012/05/19/the-unplayable-score-faeries-aire-and-death-waltz-john-stump/ UN Owen Was Her by ZUN : fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/188/1/b/u_n__owen_was_her__piano_sheet_music_by_hackrogue-d56anna.png

[@Cutebunni]

***** Death waltz is a harder version.

[@woohoorandom]

No, they're completely different songs.

[@Min3rFlytr0]

So annoying how many people fail to realize the difference between the two songs...

[@todddobson8244]

"here, hold my beer........"

[@showsponge]

Настоящий автор этих композиций - Junya Ota (известен под псевдонимом ZUN), который является программистом, сценаристом, художником-графиком серии игр Touhou. Ребят. Название композиций 1-3: Cool&Create - U.N. Owen was Her (это фоновая музыка к игре "The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil", только в фортепианной версии.) Композиция №4 так и именуется Night of Nights, и тоже принадлежит перу Junya Ota (ZUN), а не John Stump. Это музыка к одной из игр Touhou :)

[@empzilla6407]

This is my absolute favorite piano piece. I just love watching the chaos!

[@mb_2174]

The notes look terrifying D': I think whoever tries to play that is going to die or is a god...

[@Kelly-bu9ut]

The notes actually scare me.. Just close your eyes.

[@firesoldier343]

x_amazingchloe_x the notes start to look like smudge marks at 2:10

[@mb_2174]

Ay La NICE BUT WHY ARE WE WRITING IN CAPS

[@grandbean9031]

+Merlin Brennt That is why it is called THE "Death Waltz". Btw if you are wondering this isnt the true "U.N. Owen was her?" song,this is just the most notorious and legendarily wtf remix of it. So legendary it has its own name....

[@mb_2174]

Iraklis Pazios No, this piece has nothing to do with Touhou. There is U.N. Owen Was Her, a boss theme. Then its remix, just as you said, by COOL&CREATE, then there is this totally unrelated piece which was composed for fun. And this crazy piece always gets confused with UN Owen Was Her.

[@MusicWithDan]

At 1:55, the note stems in both the treble and bass clefs are all pointing up.

[@FluffiFoxi]

The song is ZUN's U.N. Owen was her?, but this particular arrange is known as John Stump's Death Waltz.

[@I.ll_Think_About_My_Name_Later]

John Stump was dead before the remix of Flandre's Theme was made

[@AdinaKayWoods]

The last four bars were definitely the hardest.

[@mcpandawaffle]

Measures*

[@AdinaKayWoods]

Same thing.

[@AdinaKayWoods]

I know enough to spot a baiting troll when I see one.

[@labigwa2272]

3:11 nuclear explosion

[@ozzie_goat]

At 1:19, the notes are trying to crawl out from Hell.

[@Vampiric_Goblin]

omg my brain is actually revolting wut i'm seeing on the music sheet when things get really crazy with the notes aaaaaaaahhhhhhh DX

[@rolpfeiffermuller935]

Thanks airing this raving dexterity sounds.

[@wbgo]

This is the warm up piece I give to my (beginning level) students.

[@thechosenone7400]

The fact that it’s WARM UP

[@MrBeeCoolYT]

my usual warm up :j

[@Megamanxzero99]

Touhou Fact: Once you play this piece completely, you die.

[@awkwardpersonsoul5381]

I thought you would be insane and no longer have fingers

[@kidzbopbad45]

This isn't just a normal piano. This is a piano on crack

[@KingSnels]

2:13 is where its at!

[@Snrickers]

the picture fits so perfect though

[@JhoRyaniTwAsaGreatChildHood]

Sir, this is not Death Waltz. Not even U.N. Owen Was Her. This is called Final Savage Sister, Flandre Scarlet or Last Brutal Sister, Flandre S. A remix of U.N. Owen Was Her, by COOL&CREATE They've nicknamed this Death Waltz, since it is really deadly for our fingers. If you want to hear the real Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz by John Stump, here /watch?v=3W5Oo1XMMvY Share this link to solve this big confusion on the internet.

[@JhoRyaniTwAsaGreatChildHood]

***** sarcasm...?

[@JhoRyaniTwAsaGreatChildHood]

***** With Death waltz... You mean.. Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz?

[@JhoRyaniTwAsaGreatChildHood]

***** This is just a piano cover... But we could say that this has been made with a computer :P

[@fairfeatherfiend]

+Nicolas René Yeah, 10 people, half of them hanging from the ceiling.

[@chrisamies2141]

^^^ good answer. There can after all be more than one piece called "Death Waltz". "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz" is something completely different though as Athali says.

[@VirusInferno]

This sounds so bad ass on piano!

[@deadbunnieslie]

The death waltz is a completely different unplayable piece of music. the-unplayable-score-faeries-aire-and-death-waltz-john-stump will give you what you're looking for. It's hilariously eye bleeding. This is Touhou's theme, from that anime Vocaloid. I figure y'all would know that.

[@shinoataya]

"Touhou theme from that anime vocaloid"is probably a joke but I'm still getting so triggered at it

[@SaRg3nT1x]

I'm sure if you don't ruin your hands playing this, you will definitely break the piano(s).

[@rouch7219]

That ending part is probably just a check to see if your piano still works.

[@TheMetalianWolf]

First thought: DAMN........ Second thought: Holy Shit, the counterpoint in that, regardless of what the piece actually is... To the guy that wrote this out... I give the utmost highest of props

[@asrielnightcast6610]

i love listening to synthesias while getting to look at the corresponding music sheet bc you can see where certian parts are

[@wbgo]

There are a couple other versions on this channel, both with scores re-transcribed so there's very little crowding of notes. (aka 4 measures per page at times). kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqaYapx6ZaeomJI

[@Gruskinator]

so true, death waltz is completely different, we only have this confusion thanks to these two users Guerep7 and poggymoose please help stop the madness everyone

[@celinehco]

Oh god, that music sheet would use a lot of ink.

[@philruu]

2:10 hahaha the note sheet :D

[@benoverload3130]

0:14 - sounds like it would be a pokemon champion theme.

[@glennpaulo9210]

Lol xD

[@EvilAce360]

Any mortal man that can play this has sold his soul to the devil

[@sakuracarduo]

. . .Austria, is that you?

[@chenoncello]

YES I CAN PLAY THE LAST FOUR MEASURES!

[@wbgo]

I played the Ringling Bros circus for a week and remember those gallops. Pretty insane.

[@pierreandferb]

looking forward to cover this on my guitar

[@ST0RMSHAD0W_117]

K good luck

[@tobeonhatnha]

@FlameForPeace U.N. owen was here was the original one. Death waltz was one of the million piano version of this song. Up until now, U.N. owen was her is the song with the most remix version ( around 300.000~ , just in japan ) .

[@hin2298]

[@griffinl.7501]

0:40 Enough said

[@griffinl.7501]

(Edit) 2:20 actually

[@nevrielzhack4216]

"Aka john stump - death waltz" W R O N G

[@cheesuschrist5967]

I know this isn't the actual death waltz, but it's better than the actual song itself

[@rtuiy9898]

@vleidrums it's not supposed to sound like his death waltz, it's written in the FORM of the death waltz, as in music heard but not seen. But this is the theme from un Owen was her? But it's not a cover

[@PrincessZelda527]

It sounds like a song to a really epic battle in a silent movie.

[@10INTM]

This one is actually synced with the sheet music, the title doesn't say "better audio", but "better audio sync".

[@mikes.4711]

A great peice of music! I really enjoyed! though wbgo i have a question if you could maybe re-upload the video in a higher resolution because me and five other friends are going to attempt this song but split it up between the 6 of us on a couple other pianos. the thing is I can barley see the notes on the staff to make the music for us..... other than that great peice!

[@okmwsx2228]

0:41 誰も触れてないけどここの低音が一番好き

[@rbsqtwo]

Masterpiece.

[@kevintrang3007]

This video introduced me to Touhou months later after watching it

[@rushfan-bc3xi]

I can play this... On a stereo

[@MidnightBlue766]

The Synthesia score itself qualifies as a Bullet Hell in its own right.

[@andrewzhao444]

It's not john stump's death waltz plz

[@Generallygeneral]

Then send me a link of death waltz

[@Captain_Irk]

lostinthecloud.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/faeries-aire.gif

[@paulhnose]

only chuck norris can play this

[@danstevenson5437]

Where can I find more videos like this? I'm crying with laughter!!!

[@huuko5760]

I love this

[@Chris-b-2]

@Shadowfromnowhere This is Owen Was Her, Death waltz has a much more... abstract sound about it. Just youtube faerie's Aire to hear it, if you REALLY want to.

[@AceConquererChampion]

0:41 Achoooo! Oh shit. I've already gone through too many failed drafts. I gotta' do this eventually. 2:11 ACHOOO!! Hugh. Whatever, I'll leave it to whichever poor soul who attempts this to figure that out. 2:31 Who turned blew them out after I left? Oh shit. I just knocked over the ink well. I hope it didn't hit anything important. *lights candle* Oh shit, oh shit. Maybe I can fix this. *smeers ink* Ugh, it may be altered, but you can still make it out, a little. 3:11 Quantity over quality :)

[@TheUnknownWords]

I will play and record this soon!

[@awildcommenter7240]

Sure ya will

[@TheUnknownWords]

Dylan Lepine I did

[@marioi.carrillo6264]

Its impossible lol

[@staribis05]

1:54

[@Awesomeoneofawesome]

@harmlesspaperbag I think he might be spanish speaking, because in spanish, finger and toe are the same word, and the use 'of his hand', or 'of his foot' to specify

[@downkiityxdhehe]

But the ending is so pretty!

[@LinkMan1NeoGAF]

Highly appropriate, given the source.

[@fairfeatherfiend]

Watching this always makes me giddy. XD

[@RedGyl]

My mom looks at this, and says, "I don't get why it's called the Death Waltz. It seems awful lively to me." XD ... Yes, I know that it's so lively that it kills the person playing.

[@josiah0710]

Someone took a piano version of Cool&Create's remix of U.N. Owen was Her? which is called "Last Brutal Sister Flandre S." and renamed it after different song created by John Stump called Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz. The two songs are completely different, sounding nothing like each other.

[@graceatkins2324]

Oh God I love it

[@ce.nz0]

I'm pretty sure the piano would catch on fire.

[@WaCeGa3]

10/10 would demisemihemidemisemiquaver again.

[@yoshi6236]

Is a normal human even able to play this?

[@nobleaichi_official]

3:11 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, on December 5, 1791, at 12.55 AM (Vienna time).

[@Diamondbug]

Fell off my chair at 2:11 o.o

[@hamstersaur]

That's actually really cool, one of my long term projects has been to try and arrange this for 6-8 hands as well. If you want, I could hook you up with a much higher resolution pdf of this.

[@henkdevill]

When, if, you ever finish this piece, please put it on youtube as well, i would love to see that!

[@romansandor6238]

2:50 I also love the sound of machinegun in my piano piece...

[@romanguzman6898]

this is what nightmares are made of..

[@mothman3781]

This is, plain and simple, NOT Death Waltz in any way, shape, or form. This is just a piano version of COOL&CREATE's remix of U.N. Owen Was Her?, which I believe is called Sadistic Little Sister (someone please correct me if I'm wrong about that.). This is just the same thing that was done by Marasy8, except as sheet music and under an incorrect title.

[@n.an.r3873]

Death Waltz is U.N Owen Was Her Which being remixed by john stump ^.^

[@jwchew1]

you know, the scary thing is that if you arranged this for two pianos/eight hands, a lot of it just might be playable...

[@Mochimatchamocha]

How the fuck are you supposed to reach 9 notes that are spread across four octaves?!?!??

[@garrittguerrero9238]

You use 4 hand 2 player

[@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

You, in all reality, need at least 4 people to even reach all the notes needed at once. To play all of the notes properly (assuming 1 person can play 5 notes on one finger per second), you'd need about 20 more people, all playing perfectly in time, to be able to play passages such as the demisemihemidemisemiquavers (1/256th notes) just past 2:10 . Surprisingly, 2:32 (assuming one can play perfectly in time) wouldn't actually be the hardest part of the piece to play. To memorise and to learn maybe (since it has the thickest texture of any passage in history), but it's easier to play than 2:10 for the same reason that it's easier to play a fast trill than a fast tremolo. Your hands are playing different notes rather than the same note as they are in 2:10, and therefore you can hit more notes per second.

[@1NegativeOne]

Feet exists for a reason

[@WomanSlayer69420]

touhou

[@joebob9134]

This shit is like a machine gun

[@Koacias]

It's even worse that people from Tumblr got a hold of a different video (but still that same audio) and believe it to be true.

[@wbgo]

Su Jean, the gallops are insane (ringling bros alumni here) , but check out some Romanian stuff. That and some bluegrass is the fastest (live) stuff I've ever heard.

[@reedolfkekler7860]

Romanian stuff ?

[@danielroyal9116]

i think the guy created the song had 10 arms ._.

[@ST0RMSHAD0W_117]

Or when he got done writing the pice he probably died

[@wbgo]

Sorry, I don't know anything about the software. The visual playback of my ancient Finale 2005a doesn't look like whatever he's using. I grabbed the video I re-sync'd from Guerep7's upload and there are a ton of posts there; maybe one has an answer. BTW, there's a more popular "Death Waltz" with sheet music but it's not like this one. Another option is the guy who played live an impressive amount of the Stump version although he's not reading anything.

[@themuto1966]

Play this at 1.5x Speed. OH MY GOD, IT'S GOOD CRAZY.

[@10INTM]

*Facepalm* No, it's not. It was incorrectly named that. The real Death Waltz, like most of John Stump's songs, is a song that's a sheet music gag; when actually played it sounds like gibberish.

[@theblueberry8585]

my brain when im trying to concentrate

[@Arkalidor]

I'd really love to see an animation of a cartoon character playing this. It would look so awesome *_* Since it's from a japanese game, make it manga style, with the character moving so fast you get mirage shadow-images or something, I can picture it in my mind... woah...

[@campbellsmith1697]

I dare someone to write all the notes from this into a manuscript

[@DarkCloudXII]

2:10 That huge patch of black...

[@arbitraryideas8843]

This is actually catchy

[@Pianobeast11]

Did anyone else notice that it's not actually a waltz? waltzes are in 3, this was in 4. Awesome piece though. :) I want someone to make a scroll to put this on a player piano!

[@leot7]

That sheet music is insanely dense.

[@joshmoe0614]

this is Final Savage Sister, Flandre S its combined using UN Owen was her, Death Waltz, and a few other pieces of inspiration. Lame man's terms: they put different music together randomly, smushed it together, and added a little mindf*** to get this epic song. Wish I could find sheet music for it...

[@bubbleboy3448]

I should ask Roderich if he would like to try this with me...hmm..

[@shinoataya]

This comment is not understandable in September 2020, due to the *profile change*

[@datruephenom]

2:11 what the fuck type of notes are those

[@TactileCoder]

Two hundred fifty-sixth note is my guess.

[@JagdThanatosMKIV]

during those last few notes it should be hoisted into the air, never to be seen again.

[@taijiteufel]

Pft dude i can play this in my sleep on my kazoo
