Hi there! I appreciate the interest in the sheet music of my arrangement! I'm...still trying to decide the best way to share it.

I appreciate the interest in my arrangement, but I don't think I'll be sharing the midi file. Sorry.

A lot of double stop chords. Removes one note in the triad, doubles another. Suggests it's supposed to be played on a guitar. Instructive how the left hand hits every 1/8th note when it's supposed to sound faster even if it isn't.

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the double stop chords/triads, I assume you're referring to the "power chords" I'm using during the 'climax' of the song loop (for example, 1:39 to 2:07)? If so, then the comment about the guitar is on point as the synth in the original song sounded/felt like a guitar lead and I used that as an inspiration to help fill out that part as the original is using single notes for the melody whereas I used octaves (doubled notes) or added the fifth (the "removed" note of the triad/power chord). The 1/8th note runs that you're referring to (starting at 1:12 to 2:07 of the first loop) is the way I interpreted the energy of the song (rather, the energy I felt when first playing this part of the game). The arpeggiator part in the original is also a factor of this as I liked what it brought, but it's not really something to put directly onto a piano part so I went with the running 1/8th instead.

To be fair, this one wasn't from scratch like some of my other videos. I started from a copy of the song from the published DoReMi book which is...pretty barebones and basic (dare I say...boring?). While not the actual copy I worked from, I did find one that seems like a direct reprint of what I worked from at www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0083224 if you want to see the starting point. It was basically starting from that and studying the original to then work around the melody and chord progressions to adapt/arrange a piano solo that better presented the energy of the song (well, to me...of course). And yes, I added a bit of an embellishment to parts of the melody for fun and extra flair to certain parts of the song. The tick-tock left hand at the start of the song was trying to work in the tick-tock percussion in the original, but put to pitches in a bass sequence to help drive the initial section. Of course, I also needed to figure out an actual ending for this since it's just a loop in FF9. The rest of the parts around my piano solo were produced in Pro Tools. They weren't to exactly remake the song, but a certain sound set I've been liking to use in my other videos. Of course, looking back at this now with mechanics I've learned how to use in Pro Tools I can hear parts I think I could do better now, but I'll leave this one as is. Perhaps I'll upload a "remastered" one at some point? Pardon if this is unnecessary, but since you thought mine was the original...here's the actual original for reference. kzread.info/dash/bejne/epVqy7mJodWwlag.html I assume you knew of the original before getting to my YT video...but it's just in case~ :) Thanks again for giving my version a listen! (Sorry this got so long!)

@@Shadowsoothe I like seeing bigger arrangements reduced to something that can be played on the piano because it's easier to see how it's structured. The melody in your version for example, two lines playing at the same time. You probably had an idea of the intervals between those notes. Or maybe that was already in the original music. Perfect fifths, minor thirds, major thirds. The left hand providing rhythm. Those notes aren't really chords they're heading for a chord in the scale. Because they're two notes without the third that would create a triad their relationship creates the harmony until the next chord. Something like this is probably what composers end up with before they arrange their music. If you have made something like this or plan to make something like this from more arranged fancy music I'd definitely like to see it. Something like Kessen 3 by Rejiro Koroku or similar underappreciated epic scores. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJ-Eua2te9fYqJM.html You'll not even find midi version of this music even though it's easily comparable to Nobuo Uematsu. I don't think Nobuo Uematsu is overrated, he is just over-covered. Keep up the great work, it's very interesting.

Thanks for the feedback! It's interesting to hear how this looks to another person. Throughout the song, the chords of each progression are actually there. In the first part, the two tones in the right hand make up part of the chord while one note of the left hand completes it. The other beat of the left hand is part of the chord too, but its pulse helps drive the song. I hadn't heard of Koroku's work so thanks for the suggestion on that. I'll have to give it more of a listen and perhaps something will catch my ear to start working on at some point. I've got a few other things I'm working on (or planning to start) so I don't know when that would be.
