hi, bat

[@unionronemus8861]

Hello Batikan Iscan,The lord of epic peices the composer of the song featured in musical basics. Your....Amazing!

[@observantperson]

I sometimes hear random music in my head which is purely made-up and is non-existent except to only me. My goal is to be able to compose such music and let others hear what I do. My question is, "Is this what you are doing?".

[@burpyiscool1365]

Same, it’s a little difficult to put it to paper since I don’t know the exact notes off the top of my head.. but I use musescore, which can be helpful in composing your ideas

[@observantperson]

@@burpyiscool1365 yeah, if you don't know how to read/write music it's pretty difficult to produce music you want to. I believe that there are a lot of people who could make a great song if they knew how, but the thing is, music is not seen as a wise career choice, and people who have a hobby in music often don't keep it because it takes time to learn. When people do take there time with composition you get stuff like this song here. Genius.

[@idealaccent5110]

I’m too, fantisizing of songs, but always when i try getting down on keyboard, I forget it. Tried singing it into a microphone, but I don’t speak piano, so it’s though.

then im a villian because those are my favorite parts but because i dont like losing ill change it a bit and say the villian join the heros but keeps his theme

[@fandomsunited7236]

@@cosmos1512 wait what if you switch it around so at the last battle can you find out the "Villain" is truly the good guy while the "hero" who has been following me around this whole story is the evil in disguise so in that last battle the "villain" the true hero of the story is the one who wins so then you can have the "villain" win

[@zotora9775]

One question about the sheet of this song (or all your songs in general): How close is the sheet music to what you are playing here? Are you adding something or improvising in your videos or are you exactly playing what is written in the sheet?

[@LionelYuPiano]

The sheets are very close but not exact. The sheet that was on my website is for the 2012 version, but 8 years later I've made some modifications. I've since updated the new sheets to match this version exactly, that will be available on my website today. For any previous customers who need the new version, just let me know via my website and they will get the new version for free.

[@neonfruit12]

damn that looks like a hard piece, fantastic job :D

[@larsfrommars]

The beginning- a revolution. A young generation rises up against the corruption of their elders. They depose the ruler, (be he president, dictator, or otherwise) and put one of their own in their stead. There appears something that looks like cautious peace, and the end of mistakes and suffering seems to be near. the melody appears to have resolved itself. Suddenly, the new generation rises up again, more zealous than ever before, but really it's just a variation of the exact same cycle. They, too, think they have resolved all conflict. But the dissonance at the end shows the cycle of uprisings isn't quite over. It's never over.

[@user-rg7ru3lo9w]

i love instances of 1:43 where the notes are too fast to play with one finger reliably so you rapidly change fingers on the same note idk what it is but i find it really fascinating and cool looking

[@dragonowl77]

i love this. My mind associates music with books, and my mind associated this song with the keeper of the lost cities series, Ironicallu there is 2 opposing rebellions trying to cause a revolution. One of them even killed one of the rules with a FIRE!
