Faded - Sheet Music for Piano solo easy Alan Walker

"Faded" is instantly recognizable on the piano — and this sheet music makes it genuinely attainable. The arrangement is aimed at players with approximately two years of lessons. The wide range of two and a half octaves and the position shifts in the left hand demand real coordination, yet the writing remains clearly structured throughout.

Sheet Music "Faded" – Reflective Electropop for Piano Solo

Alan Walker is a Norwegian producer and DJ who gained worldwide recognition through electronic dance music. "Faded" was released in 2015 and marked his international breakthrough. The song carries a melancholic, searching quality — built on a memorable melody over a steady beat. The composition was written by Walker together with Jesper Borgen, Anders Froeen, and Gunnar Greve.

On the piano, "Faded" takes on a different character than in the original. The consistently diatonic harmony — with no unexpected accidentals or modulations — makes the key of E minor very approachable. The tempo is calm and flowing, the pulse steady. The melody spans a wide range, from the lower middle register up into the upper register of the right hand — and that is where the real challenge lies. There are also several larger interval leaps of up to an octave, which require confident accuracy. The arrangement is classified as easy because the texture remains clear and manageable — but the position shifts in the left hand and the coordination between both hands still call for genuine focus.

• Range: C to G'' (2.5 octaves)
• Main challenge: Position shifts in the left hand
• Tempo: Calm and flowing

Practicing the left hand in isolation first quickly reveals where the position shifts occur — allowing you to work on those spots deliberately before bringing both hands together. The leaps in the left hand are worth marking clearly: which notes are far apart? Pause briefly at those points, find the new position, then continue. The right hand carries the melody across a wide range — playing through the upper register slowly with controlled touch will build confidence quickly. Hands-together coordination works best once the underlying pulse is firmly established.
