Top Gun: Maverick - Main Theme (Piano Version)
Piano Version by Patrik Pietschmann
It was only by chance that I found out what success "Top Gun: Maverick" is currently having at the box office. This led me to watch both the first film from 1986 and the new one. The flying scenes in "Top Gun: Maverick" are truly spectacular and I was blown away by the entire movie! The score by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe is once again epic. I also like that the Main Theme by Harold Faltermeyer from the first film was reused and rearranged. My piano arrangement is based on the two tracks "Main Titles" and "Top Gun Anthem", both of them containing the Main Theme. While "Main Titles" is strongly based on the 1986 original, "Top Gun Anthem" is a reharmonized, more modern sounding version. In my piano version I combined both. I hope you like it!
Any suggestions for future arrangements? Please leave them in the comments.

One of the most underrated movie themes of all time! Simply incredible and energizing from start to finish!

Quick question at 2:36 is that the exact same as star wars for right hand?

[@silasbair4375]

@@marko9463 It does sound very similar but its not the same. If you go to the time 1:35 on Patrik's starwar theme vid, that is what you are thinking of.

[@Jakub1989YTb]

I went to see the movie. I heard they respected the first one. I hoped, they did. When I heard the first few accords of the opening theme I almost started to cry. In the middle of the theme I knew everything would be all right.

[@a_pianist_1]

its been a year since this version of the song released, since then, i have been listening to it for around 600 times now, this is insane, love it patrick

On March 3, 1969 the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art or aerial combat and to insure that the handful of men who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world. They succeeded. Today, the Navy calls it Fighter Weapons School. The flyers call it: TOP GUN

[@a_pianist_1]

Really hit me hard with that

[@stirlingpiano]

This is epic! I just watched the new movie the other day and was completely blown away by it. I had heard it was good, but nonetheless, it was even better than I expected. Your arrangement of the themes sounds especially cinematic and manages to capture so many of the emotions from the film. Great work yet again!

Thank you, Stirling Piano! Yes, I also found the film better than expected! Thank you for your kind words!

Hans Zimmer - The true angel of music. Amazing piece.

[@TheArchetypeGamer]

Might I suggest watching the top gun theme music video from the first film. It shows Harold Faltermeyer, he is the writer of this iconic theme. Hans Zimmer added his own touches to the original theme, and in the opening credits, Harold gets his name on the credits for his work in the first movie.

[@aashishsharma8133]

Played this 3 times today and cried my eyes out. I'd just like to say thankyou. This is beautiful. Also, I've been in love with Topgun since forever, especially the soundtrack. That music is special to me and touches something inside me that few things can reach.

[@lasse0512]

I've been waiting for this one! Great job, as always! By the way, I might have an interesting idea for your hopefully upcoming 2 million-sub special. Maybe you could do a major piano medley, in which you combine your most famous arrangements in a way, where they flow perfectly into each other. You don't even have to play the full length of every piece, but you could combine the most important motives. I think that'd be a great way to sum up your way here on KZbin! All the best :)

[@silasbair4375]

@Lasse Auerbach that is a really good idea.

[@PatrikPietschmann]

Thanks for your comment and idea, Lasse! It will just take a while to reach the 2 million. 😅

Can we just talk about how simple the opening theme is? It instantly draws you in without any special trills, just repeated notes and basic step progressions. The Top Gun Anthem is amazing, and a prime example of 'work smarter, not harder.'
