Star Fox 30th anniversary it is

I did a lot to make this arrangement of Strauss's "Voices of Spring" work. 

Looking at the LH pattern, it is constructed of the lower bass notes and the notes on beat 2 and 3... each were pushed up and pulled down an octave respectively

Spoiler

If you saw my first go through of this track from last year, I decided to up the melody an octave as to avoid collisions with the LH. I think it works pretty well this way.

Only other thing I want to mention was m24 LH the descending pattern lower notes are not exact but were selected to fit under the main notes (if you listen to this part you'll understand what I mean). Also beat 4.5 is up a couple octaves for convenience

Wow, this does not sound like a fun time arranging. Definitely a lot of compromises to make it work.

I don't have much to add, but I think some courtesy accidentals in general could help. This is a very fast piece to play and it might be best to have so you don't just have to rely on assumptions and such.

Also don't know why there's a Bb in the LH at m6, at least compared to the A#s throughout the rest of the piece. The chord shape isn't really different than in the other instances, and while the key signature is more forgiving to flats it'd probably be best for consistency. (And again since it's a fast piece, one might assume that the chord is crunchier than it is. Just guessing here, I'm a hack at actually playing piano)

Now I'm definitely not sure about this one, but maybe you could incorporate some more of the blips and bloops (incredibly academic term there) in rests like m20 and m28. I could definitely see a valid argument for leaving those out, but food for thought.

Anyway those are my thoughts, hope they helped

It was definitely less fun than I expected...

Whereabouts do you envision specifically? I apologize if this isn't something easy to figure out since it's been a good bit of time. I am not sure I see a place where courtesies are needed necessarily. I did make some accidental changes in a few places, ex. Bb to A# or Ab to G#.

I think I just forgot this one, sorry! Went back and forth on accidentals a few times.

I think I'm going to stick with what I've got on this. I think they're a bit too out there to replicate in a meaningful way, no pun intended

Anyway those are my thoughts, hope they helped

Thanks for checking! Updated.

Like maybe m17 and 18 with the chromatic stuff? I dunno. But I don't think I have anything else to add on my part
