Finally this is done! It's taken me several hours, but I've finally finished arranging Dragonforce's 'Through the Fire and the Flames' for piano. I have stuck to the exact structure and key (Cm) of the original song.
Sadly, I feel it didn't come out quite as good as I was hoping. I was in two minds whether to make it exactly the same as the original, or change it to make it a lot more piano playable. I tryed the later, but I felt I started losing the melody a lot. You have to remember that this piece is designed for guitar, not piano, and so it is hard to make it practical to play all the crazy, solo bits on the piano. I compromised by adding "Ad-lib" above lots of bars in the stave, to allow for improvisation in the parts where the original is impractical to play.
I'll admit, I did use a MIDI for parts for most of the later half of this song (i.e all the solos). It was taking too long to figure out by ear all the masses of notes that were being played. However, I didn't just copy the MIDI across and plonk it there done, I did actually arrange it and change slightly to adjust for a piano.
How I made this video:
- Inputted the piece into Sibelius
- Exported the MIDI file
- Exported the graphics to make sheet music
- Changed the MIDI to an .mp3
- Stuck the .mp3 into Sony Vegas, and edited the sheet music in to make a video.
In the conversion from MIDI to .mp3, the bass seems to have come out more. In some places it is overpowering the melody a bit, which doesn't sound all that great . (However, I'm sure if you're playing this on the piano yourself, you won't have this issue.)
If you're wondering, I can play most of this on piano. All the solos are all basic improvisation, but I can play most of the normal stuff as well.

I'm writing a marimba duet for my friend in my percussion section and I.Thank you so much. This has given me so many good ideas
you transcribed... entire guitar solos... into piano midis
my hero
oh my god! this is better than the normal song
I friggin' love it! :) I've been looking for the perfect music sheets for this song on piano for ages. Thanks so much! XOXOXO :)
My girlfriend taught me the intro to this. I am nowhere close to as good as you but it is possible. Thanks for a great tribute to an amazing band!
Great video! It works fine since I'm playing with a band and my friend can easily cover the melody on electric guitar. Again, thanks a ton for making this for everyone!
No problem, and I'm glad people are finding the sheet music useful and willing to learn it. Feel free to change what you want lol. My version isn't perfect, and if you think your way's better, that's fine.
Good luck on learning it. To play the solos accurately at speed is quite a difficult task. ;)
Thank you for this sheet music, this is certainly a "wow look what I can do" version of this song. I am currently going to learn this, although I have made a few changes already just doing the intro, such as I find that on the second time of the E flat C bit (second section xD) that when it repeats again it sounds more fluent to do it E flat C again instead of Eflat Eflat C. But very well done overal, thank you :)
This is awesome, exactly what I was looking for!
I only have one thing to say...wow.
@Smellyhobo10101 No problem =). I'm glad to see people are finding my sheets useful.
you stuffed up the start a little
it's meant to be: C D Eb C D Eb F D G Eb F D Eb C D Bb
but the rest was pretty much spot on
good job
The key is Cm.
The section starting at 3:20 is played in thirds in the actual song, and so I've notated the third itself, instead of the first/tonic.
"(Ad-lib)" represents parts that are quite hard and impractical to play, and so I'm leaving it open to improvisation if desired. Most of the time this happens in the solos, yes.
Omg when I get my keytar im covering this. this is really well done.
learning this on violin. it is a long process. thanks so much for making this!
TheElvenArcher How does it sound on violin
Amazing video thanks! It helped me out a lot! I changed a few parts and made it easier to play and more like the song! All in all a great vid!
@Tarin77777 Thanks for pointing that out... never noticed it before. Sibelius doesn't seem to mind it oddly, and just plays the first quaver as a crotchet (as I think I intended.)
Very good work, thank you for the sheets. Am learning this atm, it's a lil harder then ur other songs xd
@DeathViaTar
yeah, sixteenths that speed aren't possible on piano unless you have one of those devices where you hold notes and it turns them into sixteenths. It is possible to double tongue like that on a wind instrument or pull it off on a string instrument. Dissappointed, I am a saxophonist and been looking for videos of someone double tongueing those sixteenths, but in every video they are playing eighth notes instead. I may put a video up of me doing it on sax if i ever get the free time
Amazing
It's decided i'm gonna learn it x)
and?
(from above)
However, all the work on my part was in the inputting of the notes. I had to work out by ear mainly, what was the dominant melody, etc, and how practical things were to play on piano.
So I end up with my own individual arrangement of this piece, which is what you hear.
I can actually play most of this myself on piano, but I wouldn't be able to play it fluently enough to get a good recording. (i.e I would have too many mistakes)
~Mattie
Cool
Hehe ye, just completed the intro and recorded it (although I messed up on one bit ) and sent it to some friends. They actually prefered the little 4 note rift that I do aswell, it just sounds more impacting. As I go along I am switching a few things. I only just started to get back into piano 3 months ago and only had lessons previously for 6 months, so theoretically this is impossible for me as I have never played anything this fast. But its a nice challenge and I WILL be able to play it :P.
@DeathViaTar Yes there should be, but it's not practical to play them at correct speed on piano. I didn't just copy all the notes from the original piece and say: "Play this on piano"; I simplified it to make it manageable.
@MisterPickrel Not totally sure I said or meant to say "easier" version... but this is the only arrangement/version I have of this song.
If you really want a 'harder' version, you'll have to arrange it yourself. The best way to do this would be to find a MIDI version of the song. There's plenty of MIDI search engines/techniques out there.
Also, the rhythm of the bottom part's two notes in measures 194-195 should be switched with the rhythm in measures 196-197 because it's the second time that part of the song is played.
@rctwik Well for the first part until the solos, not too high. In fact it is more the stamina of your left hand being able to cope for the first 4mins or so. Having big-ish hands also helps with the alternating octaves.
Once you get to the solos, you just need a lot of determination and practice to get anywhere close to playing them at speed and fluently. Good experience with fast scale movements would help.
this is the hardest version ive seen of this song, im working on it now ;) for 3 weeks now, im on about page 4. once u get into those like 3 pages straight of 16th notes i cant keep up :P but i'll keep trying
am i the only one that found myself singing the words? hope not! that was great!
@dartalon
You can just use piano notes in the treble clef for B flat instruments. you don't need to really transpose anything...
Not at all! The reason I made sheet music like this was so that people like yourself could learn to play it. I would certainly be interested to see you playing it if you made a video of it.
Good luck learning it! Playing the solos at speed is certainly a challenge...
Kudos on going through with this. You or someone should make a full orchestrated version though!
You know nothing of bach if you think this is hard for him, search: "prelude and fugue c minor played by richter". You'll swallow your words, and for the record it isn't even close to his hardest works.
well bach is de-composing (ba dum push!) now so it doesn't really matter how well he could play piano now does it.
Well there are certain features that make it a lot easier to input notes, such as copying, repeating, and tons of hot keys. To me, I usually don't find it tedious, as I've been using Sibelius for awhile now, and using the above features make things fast enough.
Wow. Awesome! You're definitely way better than me on piano. =P
Just out of curiousity, are you playing on an upright/grand piano with a mic, or on a keyboard with the sound digitally recorded? 'Cause I may be making some piano-vids myself at some point, since we're getting a pretty pro keyboard soon. =)
- Diamonds 10 (or Extragorey. Whatever)
Great im deffenitly gonna try this
Luuk Peters I'm gonna try with the same notes on clarinet bc y the fuck not
@morslebener Look in the description. Each of the links at the top is to one page of the sheets. You can then save each of them to your computer.
@Reishirosama Yes, most music notation programs have a transpose function.
If you download the MIDI (in description) and then input it into a music notation program (such as Sibelius or MuseScore), the program should have a function which transposes the whole score into whatever key you wish. =)
@dartalon Yes of course you can take the notes and use them for whatever you like. I'd rather that people gave my arrangement publicity and use, than me keeping it hidden away and secure.
Though pulling off the intro like they do on the guitars may be a different story, i don't think that would be possible on a wind instrument. the fast repeating notes would be tough but possible, the runs wouldn't be bad though, at least on saxophone, not sure how it would be on trumpet, Reishirosama
This...Is...Amazing,
I can happily die now
@MisterPickrel I'm not totally sure what you're asking for.
If you want to download my sheets or a MIDI of my piece, there are links in the description. If you have a music notation program, you can read the MIDI and change it accordingly for a marimba.
If you're wanting a MIDI of the original piece (i.e. a direct translation of the actual song with all the correct instruments), there are some floating around the internet. I can't remember where I found my one though, sorry.
i have GOT to learn this on a bell kit..
Can you play this on clarinet??
@Tehmattie you said that this is the "easier" version and i was wondering where or how i could get the harder (original) song
I just discovered this and would like to play it, but when click "print' literaly nothing happens.Is it my printer or am i doing something wrong?
@Tehmattie where did you get the original piece so i could try and play it on the marimba?
If it's any additional use for you, you can find a MIDI of this arrangement along with all my other MIDIs here on my mediafire folder. (Look in description for link.)
If you have a suitable music program, you may be able to transpose the notes in the MIDI, saving you alot of manual work.
@Tarin77777 Really? Are you sure there isn't a quicker way? Most programs will let you input a MIDI file, so you could use my MIDI if your program lets you. (Link in description.)
The 2nd to last note in measures 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, & 15 should be an F, not a C.
@Reishirosama I have a transposed version for flute and one for clarinet/trumpet
Well from your question, I'm assuming you haven't used Sibelius. :P
Sibelius is Music Notation software. So this means that all of this was done on my Computer. No recording was done live by me on my Keyboard.
So all I did was export a MIDI file from Sibelius, turn it into an .mp3, export the graphics from Sibelius to make sheet music, and add the 2 together in Sony Vegas to make a Video.
(carried on below)
measures 57 and 58 and whereever else that melody appears, its in F not A-flat. Just throwing that out there. =)
What key is this? And since you mentioned that you had raised the beginning part a bit, I´m asking about the part just before the solo that starts at 3:20, and by the way is ist correct that the solo starts where you´ve written (Ad-lib)???
Heh. There goes me not reading the description again. Keyboard, then. I guess the question should then be... How much of the piece did you play on keyboard? And many many different tracks did you have in Sibelius?
Sounds fair enough. So theoretically, you don't need a keyboard at all to use Sibelius? And also I can imagine arranging every single could be very tedious - but then again, I haven't used Sibelius.
the two people who dislike this obviously dont know good music when they here it
Solo starts sorta around 4:30
watch the whole thing though xD
what kind of grade would you have to be to play this? Fairly high I'm guessing... 5? 4?
Thanks for a playable version all the others are to hard 😂
holly shit this song is long!!!
WHAT??!! Its super important to keep the rythm the same or it messes up the whole song.
2 people are burning because they couldn't go through the fire and flames
11 pges long?
@Tehmattie kk thanks man :)
Where was I 8 years ago damnit.
hi this is really good... can you send me the notes???
I'd like to see a real person play 5:15 with only one hand...
Quarter note triplets instead of the dotted eighths.
@CDMC1404 l2 read comments by vidmaker? he says it himself already:o
I made a transposed version for Clarinet :D
You definitely got the lead in the beginning wrong.
Hmmm... There's too much missing. A lot of the things that make the song awesome aren't reflected in that midi transposition. You're missing the drums, you're missing most of the chords, and all of the hair. :
imagine this on trombone, lmao
I'm an amateur trombonist, and I literally looked this up to see how hard it might be. Seriously thinking about still giving it a go through
Chuck Norris can play this behind his back with a blindfold on.
I recreated this song in a game called minecraft using this sheet music, you can see it on my channel. Thanks!
not full version
@BrentBTV2 and his hands and feet tied together
:D :D :D :D :D :D
this is awesome & i want your babies.
