Dark Knight Main Theme
2/13/2019 9:01:36 AMd minor can be a very "dark" key .. just listen to the second movement of Beethovens Piano Sonata, Op. 10, No. 3 ... I get the same sense of epic proportions with this arrangement of the Dark Knight Theme. A primary difference is the nearly unrelenting flow of sixteenth notes which require careful control to keep them even from beginning to end, while bringing out the melodic notes so the underlying rhythm has a sense of purpose and direction; yet out of the brooding sound comes a glorious climax that should bring forth the shivers from just about any musically sensitive person .. and as wonderful as the orchestral version is, something about the low register of the piano and its more percussive sound adapts itself so fittingly to the theme of darkness.
