Dang it you beat me to it I was almost finished with mine. but yours is almost exactly like mine except the second layer and I know most of the other people will say the second layer will be impossible to play with the whole song and all of it is ok but just that 2nd layer. other than that it's good!

blah54

i like this song even though i've never played the game...

the only issue in terms of playability with the second layer is that it forces 9ths, 10th, 11ths etc. which is really stretching the hand... but it's really nice to listen to... i suppose if you raised the left hand an octave, then the left hand could also play the lower bits of the melody while the right hand would play the higher parts and then there would be no playability issues... but if you did that, you'd probably want to rescribe it so it looks nicer

however... that might interrupt the flow of the melody (when actually played by a human) so it might not work out well...
It's on a need-to-know basis that you don't need to know.

Tranzlater

Ty metroid hunter. I guess you don't need to play the second layer.
Blah, I might try, but I guess it's not meant to be played by a single piano, but a duet might work out...

Hmm...
Just got Norfair... should I do more original metroid tracks or do some super metroid tracks? There's some good music in that game and there are only 2 sheets on here, both of lesser tunes in the game.

Norfair sounds dead on. Very nice.
But yea...I hate to say it, but in Ending Theme, the second layer is probably unplayable. Sometimes, you cant even see the black notes because of the red.
I would prolly take it out...or replace with an easier 2nd layer part.
But yea. Nice arrangements sound wise.

EDIT: Norfair starts in Bb Major. Then it changes to F Major.

Tranzlater

Yeah I'll probably upload another M2 Ending without the 2nd layer.

You also took the Super Metroid Ending :O T__T Dang it but I think it sounds good. (Dang it I'm REALY Jeolus >__> you don't see that very often) but now it just makes me want to make a duet for it! (that way one day when I learn piano I can play it with and hopefully my girlfriend X) )

Tranzlater

Lol... and you can't play the piano?
Ah well, I only play at a grade 2 lvl =/
But my friend has taught me lots, he's grade 5 i think now...

super metroid ending... 7 flats... don't see that too often, some may prefer to see 5 sharps instead, but i dunno...
bar 4, the second quarter chord in the right hand doesn't sound right (and the other place where the same melody occurs)
bar 27, the optional would have to be chosen completely over the standard as there is no way someone can stretch a 13th or 16th..
are bars 45-46 supposed to be completely empty? and in general is this section this... empty?

but pretty good job on it, it overall sounds good and aside from the massive stretch in that bar, it's fine...

Tranzlater

Blah...
Yes, if you listen to the actual thing then the end section is pretty empty.
I chose 7 flats 'cos I usually use flats and there were more often flats than naturals.

EDIT: Here's a link to the vid of the ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb-k1RlvSx4

In StarFox Ending, Parts start overlapping, becoming unplayable.
17 and 18 overlap, 21-23 overlap, 25, 27, 29-32...
Measure 73 and 75 are unplayable. I think you can do the bass 8va thing you did earlier (judging from just looking at it) so that should be fine.
Should be some key signature changes...too early in the morning for me to figure it out now. If you still need me to at 9PM EST tonight, I will do it then.

random_goldfish

I was about to say the same thing about the overlapping.
Mairéad Murphy-Irish extraornaire fiddles on the roof and where ever she damn well pleases. ^_^

Tranzlater

Yeah I kinda quickly arranged it- I'll probably do a neat version soon.
And the key sigs are very bad.
Oh and 9pm EST I believe is 2am GMT (I'm british) so probably not.
