Before searching for sheet music, it helps to understand why “Opus” translates so beautifully to the piano. The track is deceptively simple.

A good sheet music arrangement captures all three phases: The Sparse (0:00-3:00), The Build (3:00-6:00), and The Catharsis (6:00-9:00).

Here, the left hand starts playing full chords. The sheet music will show the introduction of the Bassline (Ebm - Bbm - Gb - Db).

Most sheet music arrangements will begin with the iconic synthesizer riff.

If reading traditional notation isn't your strength, Synthesia files (MIDI) are widely available for "Opus." You can download the MIDI file and use software to display falling notes.

Go ahead. Download the sheet music, sit at the bench, play that solitary E-flat minor chord, and wait. The magic takes 9 minutes—but it will last a lifetime.
