Amazing. What a great idea to play this magnificent cue on piano, and in sync. Not an easy task but its perfect. This cue is something special. Im sure you already know this but after multiple attempts to sync his music to the final edit and without success, john Williams requested that the film was turned off so he could conduct just the music in the way he felt it needed to be paced. It worked so well, that the film was re-edited to match. A first time for a Hollywood picture - but thats why it still remains the greatest finale in movie music.
Yes, this is a wonderful anecdote and a real tribute to the power of both the Spielberg-Williams collaboration and film music in general. Thank you so much for watching!
THANK YOU for this! My single favorite piece of music ever written. How this man hears these harmonies and then pairs them with the emotion of the picture will never cease to amaze me. He’s the greatest living musician in my opinion. I’d love to learn some of this as solo piano. It’s just so so good but also feels otherworldly in its genius 🤯
This is specracular! Possibly one of the pinnacles in the history of film music (or music full stop?). It's incredible how well it still plays without the orchestra! Of course your arrangement and playing are equally responsible for making it as effective!
muito emocionante. Sou do Brasil, e fico honrado em ter alguém que interpreta as lindas trilhas sonoras do senhor JOHN WILLIAMS ....Certamente ele merece tal honra!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your timing on this matched up so well with the film. Seems like you were watching it as you were playing. I could tell you were proud when you lined up crucial moments perfectly (the finger lighting up, the rainbow, etc.). Almost seemed like you were enjoying it as much as I did! Great job, what a pleasure to listen to!
This is incredible Brett! I’ve been trying to learn your arrangement by ear but it’s so difficult,….everytime I think I’m close I reference it and it’s nowhere near. 😩 Do you think you would ever release/sell the sheets to this arrangement Brett? It pains me to think I may never be able to play it properly and feel the pure pleasure of it. 😢😍
I'm so glad you enjoy my arrangement, and bravo to you for trying to transcribe it! Re sheet music, feel free to send me an email at the address listed on my channel, and we'll see what we can do!
É uma pena que a sociedade de hoje não valoriza essas obras sonoras que curam a alma do ser humano.... Pena que terão que aprender o caminho mais longo....
Sim. Eu sempre assisto as apresentações do senhor John Williams... Tenho o filme do E.T OBRIGADO por me responder aqui... Fico muito feliz pela sua humildade!

One of the few movies where the film actually was edited after the score, because Steven Spielberg didnt wanna ruin the fenomenal music written by John. It didnt work playing it after the edited movie.
This is 100% Incorrect! These Old Internet Stories get bigger and bigger! The Correct deal was this According To John Williams found on The Net Interviews. When The recording happen…John Williams said at the beginning chase sequence..His Cues would not match up with what Spielberg’s editor Carol Littleton…When Williams couldn’t match the dynamic cues changes. Spielberg suggested that he stops film at the first couple minutes of the chase sequence…and And Yes Carol Littleton and Spielberg went back and re edited small portions of the bicycle chase sequence..NOT THE ENTIRE FILM, NOT THE LAST 15 MINUTES! John Williams has always been clear with that fact…I wish others would catch on!
@@sickheadache9903 Ok, might be true. I was just retelling what John Williams himself answered in the interview I have myself in a booklet from the very same movie E.t. And it still not wrong what I am saying. The film was in sense edited to work with the flow of the music, wich is whats happening in your comment as well.
@@Dragontrumpetare John Williams has said a few times, that the correction was made at the beginning of the chase sequence. Williams has either said a few moments, or a couple of minutes that was corrected. Because Williams said his music would not match up with Carol Littleton’s Edits. In Fact Williams said there be one moment The Orchestra would get it right, then other times it would not sync up. The Internet is filled with Old Wife Tales of truly absurd events that never ever, ever never happened.
John Williams, eminent composer and prolific tear-jerker! Great piano rendition.
Oh gosh, noticing the Reese's Pieces on your piano. We love your attention to detail. Beautiful as ever! --meagan
I still cry every time at this part. I ❤ E.T.
I think it's the most moving finale in all of film...and that's saying something.
@@brettmitchellconductor yes the conclusion of the film is gripping and emotional, so it really grabs your heartstrings
@@brettmitchellconductor i cried listening to you play it
@@mrp5402 🙏🙏🙏
@@brettmitchellconductor😢 it brings back all the feelings of seeing E.T. Leave 😔
This is so beautiful!!! Im a grown man and still get a lump in my throat and a little misty when I see this movie!
This and 'Field of Dreams' are the two films guaranteed to make me cry in their final scenes, without fail. Thanks for watching, Sam!
Maestro, you are a brilliant light in an otherwise dark world.
This music always without fail makes me weep. And your piano rendition of it did exactly the same. Utterly sublime.
Thank you, Adam! Absolutely one of JW's very best.

This was extraordinary. I was glued not only to the picture and the precise timing, but to your masterful performance. Wonderful!
Thanks so much, McGuire!
Had me in goosebumps. I love how you build your arrangements!
Thanks so much, Thomas! This was a particularly meaningful (and challenging) one to put together!
Respect, with many tears

If I had to pick, I'd say that this is my favorite marriage of film and music in history. It's as near perfect as the combination can get.
@brettmitchellconductor that is exactly what I have said. This film and the score are absolute perfection; not near perfection but actual perfection!
This is specracular! Possibly one of the pinnacles in the history of film music (or music full stop?). It's incredible how well it still plays without the orchestra! Of course your arrangement and playing are equally responsible for making it as effective!
Thank you, dear Gianmaria! It's my favorite finale to any film score, and has certainly stood the test of time over the past 40 years!
Love the inclusion of the Reese's Pieces!
Thanks for noticing! 🟠🟡🟤
Epic !
Probably the greatest soundtrack of all time
Great job bro! 🥃
Couldn't agree more, Andrés! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Mate, TH-cam can shut up shop now. Peak content has been achieved!! 🙌 now tell me there’s an album coming 😃
Thanks so much for your incredibly kind comment, Jim! Stay tuned - more content coming your way soon!
@@brettmitchellconductor something from “Images” next? 🤔😅 looking forward to it all Brett. So great to rediscover these cues in a new way.
'Images' is absolutely one of JW's most brilliant scores!
@@brettmitchellconductor no argument from me there! A musical and technical triumph
6:04 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Maybe the most moving farewell in cinematic history!
True to the original. Great job! 👏🏻
I liked the mini JW and the Reese’s.
Thanks so much (for the compliment and noticing the Reese's)! 🙏

So glad it moved you, Jason!

Thanks so much! That Funko was a custom job, and the maker is unfortunately no longer producing them - sorry!

Any Chance i can get the sheet Music for this masterpiece

2:47 I want played at my funeral while my casket is being wheeled in
Guaranteed not to be a dry eye in the house. What a choice, and what a moment that will be.
You think it's posible to have your paper score please ? ^^
Thanks for your interest, but the sheet music for this arrangement isn't currently available. Thanks for watching!

I’d pay a lot for this sheet music
Very good job, well done. Can’t believe how much this sounds like a Rachmaninoff composition.
