Here is my piano arrangement of the "Main Theme" of Attack on Titan! (With the unique spelling "ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn" in the Original Soundtrack) It's definitely one of my favorite tracks of the Attack on Titan OST by Hiroyuki Sawano. Simply epic from start to finish.

I think this is the new "Bios" of 2013, because the same composer (Hiroyuki Sawano) and the same vocalist (Mika Kobayashi) are involved in creating this track.

On a side note, I was stuck in exam hell for a long time in my music conservatory, but just a week ago I FINALLY passed the last exam (which was music theory) and I can finally dedicate my time to anime piano again!

I created this arrangement whenever I have have some free time left during my busy exam period. Since I was reading a lot of material to prepare for my music theory exam, the arrangement ideas kept flowing and flowing.
For example, I had the idea of chromatic runs in the left hand to depict an "approaching titan" with it's rumbling foot steps in 0:38.

Or the "recitativo" passage in 1:36, to illustrate a "silence before the storm", where I freely played a left hand melody while the right hand maintains a long trill.
I also included the ending chords of Rachmaninoff's famous prelude in C# minor in 3:41 to give this arrangement a classical music touch. Did you recognize these chords?

This also probably one of my top 10 most difficult transcriptions I ever made, because I included some COLOSSAL jumps in the left hand, as well as COLOSSAL jumps in the right hand (okay, okay, I'll stop with the colossal titan jokes)

Well then, please enjoy my piano arrangement of Attack on Titan!
By the way, I also got the results for my classical piano exam. "Note 1,1", which is the German equivalent of grade 9,9/10 or A. The exam went better than expected, since I definitely spend too much on practicing anime songs instead, hahaha.
