ok bra!o

[@ThoKimm]

As I saw this, I went in blind and bought the sheets without hesitation. Played through it once (as close as my sight reading skills go) - and this is a sensation! It has so many themes and reminiscences from the soundtrack as no other piano arrangement has. And quite playable, too. Can’t wait to watch the video tomorrow!

Thanks for purchasing the sheet music. I hope you’ll find it enjoyable to play this suite.

[@d.p.5234]

Yepp, here too. Except for the "sight reading skills" - part ;-)

[@turquoisesun80]

Does the sheet music cover the entire piece he plays here?

[@ThoKimm]

@@turquoisesun80 yes it does - and it's very accurately notated, as all of his sheet music.

[@turquoisesun80]

@@ThoKimm thank you! Bought it!

[@dncivjrbels-1353]

This rendition was amazing. 100% sure this is the best LOTR piano transcription ever exist.

Thank you Andrey!

[@7riXter]

@Andrey Gs apart from the fact that it is an arrangement and not a transcription ... and that sometimes deviates strangely from the original. Definitely an impressive project, but I couldn't really enjoy it so I probably wouldn't listen to it again

[@dncivjrbels-1353]

@@7riXter Of course some parts are more arranged than other but I think this arrangement didn’t change the original score too much, so I think we can call it transcription at some parts.

[@G82Jesse]

3:12 I'm so glad you included "Concerning Hobbits" - my favorite bit of music from the trilogy!

[@mynona2491]

4:28 "A Knife In The Dark" is maybe my favourite track of the whole trilogy. Never heard something that menacingly while picturing dark riders on black horses in the night.

[@fredericchopin9305]

This is perfect. Not insanely difficult, but never sounds too easy or empty. You maestro, know the sweet spot of the arrangement!

Thanks so much Chopin!

[@akjunkdrawer]

You know it's good when Chopin himself comes back from the dead just to leave a positive comment

[@daved8551]

This is THE piano solo against which all other LOTR piano solos that have come, or will come, will be judged against. This is a timeless masterpiece, with the perfect difficulty level for the advanced pianist. This piece is amazing and I have waited for this video for so long!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! 😁😁😁😁

Thank you Dave! I made this arrangement not too difficult technically. These days I realize how it’s important not to compose too difficult.

[@daved8551]

@ hahaha that is APPRECIATED!!! While the "impossible" level is stunning to listen to, advanced versions are appreciated to share in the enjoyment of the music!! 😁

[@MusixPro4u]

@ What's your reasoning behind that? Reaching a wider audience, or musically?

@@MusixPro4u I thought they are not too intriguing for me to arrange drastically. I just left as they are, to save my time.

[@DarthHunter5]

Masterful arrangement of the best movies ever made. Props to you and Howard Shore, who both give me goosebumps and make me tear up even 20 years later.

[@KevLove88]

I have been waiting 20 years for such a perfect arrangement of one of the best soundtracks ever. Best sheet music I have ever purchased. This will be a pleasure to play for years to come. As others mentioned it is just the right level of difficulty. There are still so many other excellent themes from LOTR - maybe a part two someday please?

Thank you KG!

I’ve been a fan of yours ever since I first heard your Narnia piece. You are phenomenal! 👏🏼

Thank you so much!

[@ellasuihkonen]

as a big lotr fan this warms my heart. "the riders of rohan" is my favourite song in these movies and you played it so well!! thank you, this made my day better!

Thanks Ella!

[@Annemieization]

Fantastic!!!

[@lurven141]

Watching each LoTR movie for the first time on premiere in cinemas, one of the best moments I had was when Gandalf and Pippin was riding into Minas Tirith in ROTK and the music was playing 9:24. I had goosebumps from the top of my hair on the head down to my toes. Such an amazing theme. Very delightful performance from you sir!

Thank you!

[@TheAUa]

Really awesome performance! I especially like the part at 5:21 I could really feel the drums and forge of Isengard

Thank you! I’m glad a lot of people liked that part.

[@stickerey]

yea that was so well done. i was so impressed

[@piotrmagiera9810]

Leiki, This is definitely the biggest and the best rendition of The Lord of the Rings soundtrack on piano. You have captured the spirit of the soundtrack in beautiful, unique way. You have great arranging skills and incredible playing skills. It's really impressive! I'm learning this masterpiece since sheet music premiere. Now I will use your performance as a reference how I should play this arrangement. Thank you for your excellent and extraordinary work!

Glad you found it interesting. I hope the arrangement isn’t too difficult for you. Thanks!

[@piotrmagiera9810]

@ It's not too difficult for me. I know that practice is a way to success and speed comes with time. I make progress everyday. Sometimes with time I gain too much speed and I should to slow down. Thanks to your performance I can adapt my playing tempo. Some parts are harder to learn. But I will pracitice it everyday and I can do it! I always choose advanced arrangements, which sound the best for me, though require more time to learn and master. I like learning great arrangments just like this. :-)

[@garysandiego]

This was worth the wait. Clearly Ueda-san took his time to keep this arrangement tight and focused on the score as we movie-goers had experienced it. It’s a very impressive effort. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks Gary, I still think LOTR music is not too interesting or impressive but I’m just glad many guys liked this.

[@garysandiego]

@ Complementing your arrangement. It will be popular. You’ve made the most with what you had to work with. The original score, however…well, we’ve discussed that before. Haha. 👍🏻

[@OoOLithiumOoO]

Thank you very much for dedicating the time and effort to create this. I bought the sheets yesterday and will devote myself to learning this. You are truly a master of the craft

[@pupsikpushistiy2753]

Oh god!!! That's is so great! Thank you so much! I can't express how I feel now. It's comparable with emotions I had when I watched LOTR dorst time. And heard that beautiful music.

[@mc269107]

This is fantastic. The reverb and atmosphere is perfect, love when those shire chords come in at 3:14

[@stabbytt]

Thank you. So rare to find a good arrangement for Lord of the Rings like this one.

Thanks Isabella!

i can close my eyes and see in my minds eye these moments in this film with every piece you play. gives me shivers. your dynamics and feel are immaculate. pretty high rn thanks for the experience :)

[@marcolagona]

I already know it's going to be so exciting listening to it!!!

Thanks Marco! Which piece have you found the most interesting?

[@marcolagona]

Actually it’s not easy to select only one favourite piece among the several ones you arranged in a refined classical style and played with a so accomplished fluent technique. Your redintions of the famous Disney themes make them even more beautiful than they really are. But the two pieces that I really love are the movie themes of Transformers and Home Alone. I think that in these two pieces your arrangement ability brings out from the notes of the piano every part and shade of the original instruments in a perfect way with the final result of clearly evoking the scenes of the films. Thanks for your great works Leiki!

[@Svetovit1996]

Howard Shore is a genius of film music and music and my favorite film composer! To goosebumps! Thank you for the new tangible feelings of childhood and adventure!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked this.

[@jaconoorland6330]

Thanks Jaco, it’s just interesting many people liked it despite it’s the most boring for me personally lol.

@ no problem. I think your arrangement of The Battle from narnia is my favorite. I really like the Skyrim arrangement, for the love of a princess from brave heart, and this lord of the rings suite. Those are the four I’ve bought. I also really like all of the two steps from hell arrangements.
