Finally, by popular demand!  (Not really, Latios just keeps asking me to sub this haha.)

This is a beautiful piece, thanks for arranging it!

- m23 it sounds like there's a higher G nat in the left hand on beat 2
- m24 maybe you could add a low D in beat 1 (RH), but if I can understand not wanting to put one there
- m29 is there a reason why you omitted the F# in the LH chord?
- this is just me being picky, but I think the subtitle is a little too close to the title

Nice work overall!

Indeed it is!

All great points!  After trying it out on the piano, I put the D in bar 24 into the left hand so that it resolves correctly and doesn't get in the way of the piano line too much.  I also added in a missing A in the left hand of bar 25 while I was here.

The spacing looks to me like the same as it is for all of my sheets and it doesn't look particularly close so I left it as is.

Thanks!  And thank you for taking the time to check it over.

Yay! Sorry for the wait, just a few minor things to call out.

- The first chord in m. 18 is rooted on an E at the bottom. I think the LH should be E-A
- I'm not really hearing the LH D on beat 2 of m. 18 although it makes sense where it is
- m. 24 first chord sound like G# on bottom
- Chord in m. 28 sounds like the wrong inversion, like it should have the B on bottom
- You could combine 8vas in m. 28-29
- Cross staff line between 29-30 like 25-26?
- m. 32 chord also sounds like it has an E on top
- Tied octave in m. 36 is at the wrong octave
- The downward rolled chord arrows could be adjusted a bit so that the vertical line of the arrow doesn't stick out from the wavy part at the bottom

I added the E, but I don't think there's an A.  I think it's a holdover from a previous A that moves to a G# (perhaps slightly delayed).

I think you meant bar 19, but yeah you're right; I was just imagining it I think.

Quote from: Latios212 on June 08, 2019, 10:04:39 AM- m. 24 first chord sound like G# on bottom

I agree, and it already was?  Maybe you meant something else though.

Quote from: Latios212 on June 08, 2019, 10:04:39 AM- Chord in m. 28 sounds like the wrong inversion, like it should have the B on bottom

I had another listen and it's root position as far as I can tell.

Fixed.

Quote from: Latios212 on June 08, 2019, 10:04:39 AM- m. 32 chord also sounds like it has an E on top

I think so, and I added another one at bar 28 as well.

Whoopsie.

Hopefully that looks better now!

Unrelated to the above, I also went through and rewrote some of the left hand to make it more clear how to pedal the piece.  This required some interesting stuff in bar 29, but I think that's as good as it can get really.

Thanks for checking!

oops disregard I can't read the key signature, the Gn in the previous measure threw me off, it's good

Quote from: Libera on June 08, 2019, 11:13:38 AMI had another listen and it's root position as far as I can tell.
Ah okay I can hear the root E but I think what was throwing me off was that it sounds like a G# on top. It's fine though

All good to go :P

I have one issue. m35 has been changed in such a way that the chord progression in the LH has been misrepresented. Here is the most literal transcription of it I could make:


fix this in a nice way and I'll approve as well

Very nice catch.  Though I do hear the F# on the first beat (it might not be in the piano though, but still worth including I think.)  Anyway, I've tinkered with that bar so hopefully it's better now.

Thanks for checking!
