Consider moving/removing some voices in this song, a lot of places are practically impossible to play. We don't have hands like Lizst, and even Lizst wouldn't be able to play this. There are also some places where the RH notes clash with the LH, like in the last few measures. I'd suggest looking over this sheet again.

What's wrong with the current sheet on the site?

[Bloop]

It misses lots of harmonies and even a few notes, but this version is a bit too much.

[fingerz]

Whoops! Lost track of this one too! Yeah, I think I was pushing my luck with this... I'll probably remove the octave bassline and just make it singular, otherwise people will end up doing Chopin jumps at triple the speed. ^^

[FireArrow]

That's pretty playable honestly. Removing the top not of the octave would do very little in terms of playability and removing the bottom note would take away from the harmony.

[Bloop]

But playing it legato that fast is impossible. Also, it results in too much power, whereas the song is pretty lightly played

[fingerz]

There we go. I've taken out the bottom octave to help fix the leaps and re-worked some of the right-hand stuff so it's not as GAH to play. Not that I play this stuff anyway, but if it satisfies you, GOOD.

I agree with it needing to sound light, but you really need the octaves in the right hand. Left can sorta go without, and it allows for the chords preceding the low notes to be in a slightly higher register and not sound as muddy.

Anyways, all's good now, yes? :3

[Bloop]

ohwait there are no measure numbers fock

Page 2, row 2 m. 3 and row 3 m. 1, first note RH: Please (re)move the bottom note, compound major thirds are usually very hard to play, especially at this speed.
I'm not really a fan of sixths + octaves but I'd need a second opinion on this.

Aside that, much better! Seems less bombastic now.

In the light of the heated discussion concerning simplified arrangements co-existing alongside full ones, Team Updater (*working title*) has agreed that this solo arrangement shall be put on hold until a consensus is achieved. The grounds for this decision are:

• Testimonial evidence from Latios212 concerning the viability of the current arrangement on-site
• A duet arrangement by Fingerz of the self-same song has been accepted for the upcoming update, thus allowing both arrangers to share a piece of the glory during the interim period

This submission is now archived. Please resubmit once a consensus is achieved.
