Learn how to play 1812 Overture by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky on piano with this Synthesia piano tutorial! Please enjoy!
The #1812Overture is a work by Pyotr Ilyich #Tchaikovsky, written to mark the occasion of the Russian defense, who staved off Napoleon's Grande Armée in 1812. The full name of the work is "The Year 1812 Solemn Overture", and since its premiere in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, 1882, it has become one of the most well-known and loved pieces in the Western classical canon. Aside from its sweeping melodies and joyous fanfares, the 1812 Overture is perhaps best known for the cannon fire, which is indicated in the score as a bass clef note with four "f"s (fortissississimo). This amazing piano arrangement of Tchaikovsky's incredible 1812 Overture takes all of these elements (cannon fire included!) and places them in the two hands of a pianist. You will LOVE this incredible arrangement!
This piano arrangement of 1812 Overture is fantastic to play! You can learn it with our #SheetMusicBoss Synthesia #PianoTutorial, or from our official Sheet Music Boss sheet music at the top of the description!

Creating a piano arrangement of the ENTIRE 1812 Overture was an _enormous,_ multi-day project to undertake and took quite a while! It's such a classic that it needed a great deal of fine-tuning to ensure every piano note sounded right, getting the phrasing brought out, making sure the right notes were emphasised and others weren't, and getting the tempo just inside that sweet spot where it slows down and holds back juuuuust the right way to make the next big chord *land*. I listened over and over as I was finishing the project to make sure I was happy with everything.
This was a real labour of love for Samuel and me, and we hope you enjoy it! We'd be thrilled if you had a look at the sheet music too, which we put a lot of craft and care into making. You can find it here: gumroad.com/l/SrrcT
Thank you and please enjoy! -Andrew
My most boring idea: grass skirt chase (spongebob)
Finally someone does more than just the finale.
Pls play vitas 7th element
This was such an amazing compostion!
actually there's already some of 1812 overture arrangements in imslp, but this is really good too, if not better
Pachelbel: Canon
Tchaikovsky: *CANNONS*
Stonks
Cant wait to listen the *CANNON in D*
Well ya know thisbguy Tschaikowsky is Russian isn't he?
People: Tchaikovsky, no.
Tchaikovsky: Tchaikovksy, _yes._
*_T C H A I K O V S K Y A L W A Y S Y E S ! !_*
Bommm
A classical piece that contains:
2 National Anthems
At least 1 March
Multiple folk songs
A Hymn
Original composition parts
All in 15 minutes and change
And needs both church bells and artillery to be played in its fullest form.
This in itself is a full film score in 15 minutes
Could you possibly name the folk songs included in the piece? I would like to listen to them
A dead meme Of the top of my head, there’s U Vorot, Vorot. The one that’s also a Hymn is the Russian melody for the Troparion of the Holy Cross (which is the opening of the song).
The French National Anthem stands out pretty clearly as it is still their anthem today, and towards the end, is the Russian Empire’s National Anthem.
As for the names of the other folk songs sprinkled through the piece, I don’t recall, but this is something Tchaikovsky did a lot of.
Dancing Mad is the video game version of this. You need an orchestra, a choir, an organ, and a rock band to perform it properly.
And this has it all. Congrats Tchaikovsky, for giving us a brilliant masterpiece to enjoy for centuries to come
"Tchaikovsky, cannons are not instruments!"
"Yes they are, and I'm going to use 21 of them."
"Tchaikovsky, no!"
"Tchaikovsky, yes!"
"Tchaikovsky always yes!"
in my head this conversation is canon
*punintended?*
Yep, someone said, "cannons aren't instruments." Then Tchaikovsky said, "watch me!"...BOOM!! (Proceeds with cannon fire)
YEEEEEESSSS
@@opapes6417 that the one song with the anvil?
Mozart: piano
Vivaldi: violin
Tchaikovsky: 22MM OF PURE STEEL
Can also be played with 152mm of PURE STRONK STALINIUM

Tchaikovsky, YES!
I clicked thinking "they've never done the whole thing"... but you did! Sensitively played too and the new visualisations look 👌
your compositions are awesome
Thanks, Luke! This one took a fair while to arrange, and I wanted it to be the best is possibly could be! -Andrew
Ha, we must have a very similar taste because I keep seeing your comments everywhere I go!
Just like Salva T said, Luke Faulkner's compositions are awesome.
tbh I liked the old visualisations more
People: Classical music is boring
Tchaikovsky & his Cannons: allow us to introduce ourselves
Cannons and their Tchaikovsky:***
Tchaikovsky and the Cannons is a good band name
I hate people who say " hurr durr classic musiczk is boring hurrr durr (insert music style) is better hurrr"
Russians will be Russians...
Well, Tchaikovsky himself hated the piece.
“Is mayonnaise an instrument?” “No, but a cannon is.”
I didn’t expect your profile pic
And I didn't expect your overused joke
Sounds like something either Squidward or Squilliam would say
Lol
Mayonnaise is too an instrument
Timestamps
0:03 The Solemn Prayer
4:55 La Marseillaise and U Vorot, Vorot
11:42 That Good Part
0:00 to 15:25: That good part
I thought it would just be the one part that everyone recognizes from the song but instead we got the whole song. Heck yeah!
the sheet music bosses are quite the chads
Seamus Moore true. They’re not called bosses for nothing
Ikr, I was so excited when I saw it's the full 15-min overture lol
Piece*
*coughs* It's a piece
My music teacher almost blew up the schools speakers with this song, let's just say the place got very dusty after the canons hit
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie
I don't know the first half but I'm pretty sure they got my bottom half
Me after reading the first line:
*hold up*
*coughs* It's a piece
If you just sat there for 15 minutes
You are considered my friend
Hello friend
Yay! I have a new friend! :)
Yay! A friend!
Hello dear friend
everyone only listens to the end.
People: No! You can't just play a cannon on the piano!
SMB: Haha, left hand go SMASH
This made my night
Left hand go BOOM!
Joseph Guida cannons go boom. Piano keys go smash
Esteban Vasquez What was I thinking!
I think that's a cool idea
The best part starts at 0:00 and ends at 15:25
True
I see what you did there
I agree
We escaping with the Catacombes de Paris with this 🗣🔥
1812 overture at first glance:
pretty nice and calm!
1812 overture ending:
hold my cannon
Yes because the start represents before the invasion while the ending is more celebrating Napoleons mistakes which led to france getting yeeted out of Russia
@@wandren912 finally a good 🤓🤓🤓
@@jzh4805 oof I cringed when I read my comment :/
Never in my life I imagined I'd hear a piano arrangement of a cannon.

Bot?
14:19 To go to part you think you want
0:00 For the part you really want
true
Tchaikovsky: Have you ever used a cannon as an instrument?
Everyone: No.
Tchaikovsky: Would you like to?
How tf do you plan playing that on a piano
Jebleman lol true
@@jebleman2091 well idk I mean of course it won't be as metal on a piano but still I think it's possible
I appreciate that you didn’t just give us the part everyone’s heard of but actually gave us the full masterpiece, thank you
I’ma get Sean hogan to make this using real cannons, try and stop me!
*maniacal laughter*
Alfred Now that i would love to see
Ba da ba, ba da bo da
So today, today we're going to be making a canon, with cannons (ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ
We are with you in this noble quest
i wonder if we could encourage a crossover?
Alfred Now that would be awesome
Napoleon: Now can you make this French?
Russia: No.
I LOVE DEMOCRACY AND SO IS RUSSIA >:)
Napoleon and artilery.
Sorry to ruin the 69, take my 70 as a formal apology.
All that comments are a years and a month
Now take my 77 to appreciate the old comments
FYI
That can on in the thumbnail is the tsar canon with one of the largest calibers in the world. 800mm.
Thanks
canister or roundshot?
@@munastronaut8147 most likely unused, but I don’t see why it couldn’t use both. Also, solid shot from lighter guns packed into a 35 inch gun could make for some fairly nasty grapeshot.
@@notalexzander2 imagine someone making a ridiculously large round packed with high explosives and firing it. I don't believe whatever the target was will keep existing any longer.
Memorial Day weekend 1995, Last tri-service service concert Navy, Army and Marine Corp. in downtown Charleston, SC. Last concert because the Navy was shutting down the band in the summer of 1995. We used the "five inch cannons" from the brand new destroyer at the time which was about 300 yards from the stage in the background. I'll never forget the experience!
Can you play Le Festin from Ratatouille? I want to play it
Omg yesss
Yes that would be quite Nice.
push
We'll look into it! :) -Andrew
I wants to play it, too, homey! I gots to play it yo
14:30 is where we've all came for, let's be real guys
haha cannon go boom
in that part you just smash your head on the keys
The rest of it is pretty good but yeah that's why I'm here lol
Clearly heresy. You have to listen to the whole thing to be truely RUSSIAN
i love the whole song man not just the FunNY CanNoNS
О Господи! Как же я люблю эту увертюру! Спасибо огрооомное! Вот уж не ожидал такого, честное слово! Такая радость и гордость на душе от этой песни. Благодарю.

Bach's ghost: Yo Pyotr you should totally add a canon to this new piece of yours.
Tschaikovsky: Cannons, got it.
Bach's ghost: No no, I meant ca-
Tschaikovsky: *I GOT IT.*
That’s very funny!!
_So how many cannons are you going to use in this overture?_
Tchaikovsky: *Yes.*
Now you appear in SMB’s videos ? Nice !
It's not actually funny

Vladimir: "Tchaikovsky, have you heard Pachelbel's Canon?"
Tchai: "We can use cannons!?!?!"
Vlad: "No, that's not what I m--"
Tchai: "USE ALL THE CANNONS!"
I once saw this piece performed with vintage Civil War-era cannon. Goddamn religious experience.
War People: Use cannons
Tchaikovsky: *Hold my piano.*
THANK YOU so much for creating this masterpiece! The 1812 Overture is (in my opinion) the greatest piece of music ever written, and this piano arrangement captures so much of the majesty of the original piece. Superb job!

Relatable
yes after the fascist government that led my country was overthrown by one man.
People: you cant use cannons in your song
Tchaicovsky: "laughs in gunpowder"
*coughs* It's a piece
Tchaikovsky: _Made an Overture about Russian victory over Napoleon_
Americans: This is our now.
actualy... you should have changed that "our" to "myne" cuz it sounds more american
Russians: (point at "our") In case you haven't noticed, you have fallen right into my trap.
BREAKING NEWS: AMERICA IS A COMMUNIST COUNTRY NOW.
@@satt47-74 damn you... im a big triggered by you... but laughing at the same time cuz u did a nice joke there
ironic
i hate how people mistake the 1812 overture for the war of 1812
I remember watching my friends perform this piece, this makes the memories come flooding back. It was such a beautiful day
Who fired the cannon.............................................
@@Cabes822 We had a guy put a bass drum on a chair and he hit it hard as he could, like he was nearly jumping to get the power behind it. Shockingly VERY effective. But unfortunately, no actual cannons were used
@@wondermike8960 😭No Cannons? *Insert Megamind meme here*
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it was the complete piece!
The 1812 always gives me goosebumps, I play viola in an amateur orchestra and have been fortunate to play it three times in concert, with a bass drum not cannon unfortunately, the hymn at the start is awesome to play.
This “piano tutorial” was really a “How to make a cannon sound on the piano” tutorial
That's one of the best song that I've ever heart. I love Tschaikovsky really much.
Hello from Russia! Thank you for the beautiful performance of Tchaikovsky!
Everybody: "Tchaikovsky used cannons as instruments”
Me: "Remember, remember the Fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot"
I know of no reason that the gunpowder treason should ever, be, forgotten
HAIL HYDRA
i was about to comment this. movie was epic.
Tchaikovsky: cannons
V: explosives
Russians listen to this when they need motivation.
True
We do
Also "Time forward" by Sviridov
True
Aight just need to wait til the comments of song recomendations start pouring in
*Just wait until requests start pouring in.
@@Samus7000 oh thanks sorry
Sublime! The Marseillaise heard in the midst of battle is poignant.
Oh, and the cannon blast rendered by the slam of the left hand was very well conceived. Bravo!
Imagine every cannon blast you smashed the keyboard with both of your arms
Hmm...thanks for the idea!
The last music I hear bfore escaping the catacombs de Paris
I am really hoping this is gonna start a thing of full-length orchestrals on here, some suggestions I'd have include:
The full 15 minutes of Bolero
The entire Blue Danube
All of the Planets
Shostakovich's 9th symphony (purely cause of the baller energy it had against Stalin)
This is your best video. The best you’ve ever made. This is beyond phenomenal
I love how mashing the first several keys is the cannons. Brilliant!
From Russia with love. Tchaikovsky was a great composer.
I just wanted to stand up and applause!!! As a Russian I could feel your love so much. Thank you from my heart ❤️
Tchaikovsky had the Hans Zimmer "big hit" sound before Hans was even born
Everything about it
Beautiful . Filled with meaning.HENCE.
Perfect.
“Cannon number 3,You’re out of tune”
Tchaikovsky, probably
By the way could you do Bismarck bySabaton please?

Jakub Dzwonkowski One thing is for sure: we need more Sabaton!!
@@paulvonhindenburg1827 YAS
You mean: ''Cannon number 18'' right?
I love how this piece symbolizes the struggle between the French and the Russians; that's why it includes La Marseilleise's theme
It's a really interesting concept: opposing two different themes "fighting" each other
It reminds me of one of the Bucciarati's themes, Furious Fight, which includes both Bucciarati's and Diavolo's theme
So...
Could you please do a tutorial for "Furious Fight" from Jojo's Bizzarre Adventure? 👀
It also begins with “oh lord, save thy people,” an orthodox hymn. Nearing the end of the battle with the French (la Marseillaise), you can hear the main stanza of “god save the tsar.” Brilliant piece
The tsar's bizzare adventure?
YES, thank you for doing the entire piece and not just the finale! Besides, the finale is much more satisfying with the 12 minutes or so of anticipation leading up to it.
No words,.... atonishing, outstanding. I have listened other piano arrangements of 1812, but this is, by far, the best of all them. Congratulations!!!!!
That Magnificent Moment 12:27 😮😲😳 ... Imagine with a Big Orchestra ! Awesome 🌹Bravo!!!!!!
Someone that can't play an instrument but is in the military: *it's my time to shine*
Lol
That was incredible! I’m doing a standing ovation but you can’t see it! I love the transitions of the melody from the right hand to the left hand, and back again. That’s just a tremendous arrangement of an amazing piece of music... thank you!
This transcription is actually quite beautiful, that opening brought tears to my eyes! Never got that with this song before.
Patrick: is a mayonnaise an instrument?
Squidward: no, mayonnaise isnt an instrument.
Squidward: no, horse raddish isnt an instrument too
Patrick: then is a cannon an instrument?
Squidward: NO ITS NOT!?
Tchaikovsky: am i a joke to u?
You did the entire song?! Man, you guys are legends!!
SWEET! Can't wait to play with my entire forearm during the cannon part!!!
Tchaikovsky: Let's play some cannons!
Me: *Remembers soviet anthem artillery canons firing and hitting random places and countries*
Genuinely one of my favorite compositions of all time. The story behind it is amazing, too. It’s a shame that Tchaikovsky didn’t like it.
Time, Forward by Sviridov is a great Soviet song that I think is worth doing a tutorial for
This man is Korea’s Some Dude with a Mustache and Justin Y
This cover is so beautiful
When you said 'Tchaikovsky made beautiful and relaxing music'
But he brought cannons
And also great arrangement! It just sounds like the orchestral one.
"How many cannons do you want?"
Tchaikovsky: "YES."
Remember, Remember
The fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I know no reason
Why The gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot
What a great film
I feel so left out because there’s a bunch of comments like this and I have no idea what film everyone is talking about (and I’m too scared to ask)
@@dani.munoz.a23 V for Vendetta is a film about tyranny and how one man fights it and shows a woman the corruption of the world
Don Rogers ah v for vendetta, I’ve heard of it.
Don Rogers well their world
The use of this song in V for Vendetta is awesome
The absolute madlads did the whole piece from start to finish, the whole fifteen minutes thank you SMB for giving so much love to my favorite piece of all time.
No Tchaikovsky, you can’t use cannons as instruments!
Tchaikovsky: I cannon I will.
7:41 thats transition with the melody shifting over to the left hand, nice
8:40 cool how composer can speed up the melody and have a new creation, And gotta love those whole tones
9:17 OK NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE, the right hand intervals/harmonies are SUPERB. All this time ive been thinking you need intervals to support the main melody alone, I WAS WRONG, Tchaikovsky used the intervals to make A SECOND MELODY. Thats so crazy and interesting
10:12 wow listen to the left hand notes ( the harmonies, i know its repetitive)
10:37 im not trying to compare and contrast composers, but we got a real chopin moment
10:53 duuu | duuu | duuu | duuu | da-da | DAAAA
DAAAA | daaaaaa daaaa da-da-daaaa
(Continue on......)
Judging by your other videos, it's just a coincidence, but I can't help but be amused by the colors of the hands. During the Napoleonic Wars, Russian soldiers wore green and French soldiers wore blue. On most maps, east is to the right and west is to the left. And here we have a green (Russian) right (eastern) hand and a blue (French) left (western) hand.
That was... beautiful.
France:
Noooo, you can't just win and celebrate with a cannon music
Tchaikovsky: haha! Russian Empire go boooom
Haha
@Miguel Espejel Mujica *Tchaikovsky, in 1882, decided to use the already existing Marseillaise (aged almost a hundred years at that point) in his work. Not the other way around.
Here you go ;)
Cool, could you do the Barber of Seville next by Rossini???
Which movement? The famous part is in movement two.
@@ACHistory Both the Ouverture and "Largo Al Factotum" Aria would be aweome!
@@jarekwrzosek2048 Rossini is my favorite composer - his pieces never disappoint. Plus, if you know who Richard Wagner is, they hated each other.
@@ACHistory Mine as well. Wasn't that Rossini - Wagner feud about the superiority of Italian Pasta over German Sauerkraut?
@@jarekwrzosek2048 It started with food differences, but became heated over operas. If you look up Rossini's quotes on Google, he is literally quoted for saying "One can't judge Wagner's opera Lohengrin after a first hearing, and I certainly don't intend to hear it a second time", and "Wagner has lovely moments but awful quarters of an hour".
Sheer genius & talent! The cannons were just *chef's kiss*
Omg! I literally listened to the wholr thing yesterday and I absolutely love the French Anthem Part and today you uploaded it, let's gooo!
"Tchaikovsky sir. What are you going to play today?"
"Cannon."
"... In D?"
"In artillery, my comrade."
I do like that the cannon percussion was taken into account somewhat.
i needed this, thank you for actually doing the whole piece and not just the end
Finally, a piano arrangement of 1812 overture that includes the cannons!
Maybe you guys will get a break from ‘make it Russian’ comments with this song. :D Keep up the good work!

Or V for Vendetta
This is a masterpiece. Thank you for this.
aside from all the shitty memes that are going to be in the comments about "LmAo CanNonS!!!!!" this is genuinely one of my favorite classical pieces purely about how it bounces between La Marseille and Russian folk songs, especially at the beginning where it is slow and calm to signify the time before the war started, and then during and after every battle, climaxing at the Battle of Borodino, where Napoleon wins his famous Pyrrhic victory against the Russian Empire, and as the french anthem dwindles and gets lower it signifies his retreat across Europe and the eventual Russian victory at the Battle of Paris
Okay, but
LmAo, CaNoNs!
