Performance note: Begin and end the piece with improvisational wolf howling

• m8 RH 4.0 the F# sounds like it is a half beat earlier. Maybe put into a separate layer, or did you move it to 3.0 as a sort of consolidation? Otherwise was thinking you could write similar to m28 RH 3.0 and 4.0 the way that tie is
• m10 LH 2.5 this sounds like 2.0 is held for a dotted quarter length (3.5 stay the same)
• m11 LH 3.5 hearing Bn instead of En (same octave as 1.5)
• m12 LH 2.0 hearing a 8th length En. Also hearing 3.5 as an En
• m13 LH 2.5 is an An, hearing 4.0 as an En, and I think that's the E that's currently RH 4.0
• m19 LH if not mistaken, 4.0 returns to En (same octave as 2.0) and is not tied?
• m25 RH 4.0 not hearing the Bn tie over, hearing a C# instead above the E#
• m29 LH 4.0 you could add the roll here
• m50 I feel like piano is too soft to start, maybe mp instead? Reason being is in original there's a bit of a decresc. around m61-62 that goes down further in volume. Or maybe this is pp for before the arpeggio?

Lol I don't know the context here to know if it's prominent enough to include, but it wouldn't

Hm I still hear it precisely on beat 4, but it does make sense to put it in the left hand similar to the rhythm of most other measures in this section

• m10 LH 2.5 this sounds like 2.0 is held for a dotted quarter length (3.5 stay the same)

Actually listening again I hear an E an octave below the melody on beat 2.5

• m11 LH 3.5 hearing Bn instead of En (same octave as 1.5)
• m12 LH 2.0 hearing a 8th length En. Also hearing 3.5 as an En
• m13 LH 2.5 is an An, hearing 4.0 as an En, and I think that's the E that's currently RH 4.0

I am really sorry for my sloppy c/p job without confirming that all the notes are exactly the same lol

• m19 LH if not mistaken, 4.0 returns to En (same octave as 2.0) and is not tied?

I think listening again I hear the E on beat 3.5, making the rhythm similar to the measure before it?

• m25 RH 4.0 not hearing the Bn tie over, hearing a C# instead above the E#
• m29 LH 4.0 you could add the roll here

Yep!

• m50 I feel like piano is too soft to start, maybe mp instead? Reason being is in original there's a bit of a decresc. around m61-62 that goes down further in volume. Or maybe this is pp for before the arpeggio?

Hmm I think I'd like to keep p at m. 50 to make it softer than the A section, because there's nothing melodically going on. I do hear the decrescendo at the end, but I'm not sure I want to make it that soft for the chords before the loop. I'm open to it though if you think it'd improve the sheet!

Files updated, thanks for the thorough check

I should've specified this was a joke lol

Yeah I think this in LH makes sense

Hearing this now as you have

Hmm yeah this seems to be the case!

Okay, that's fine for m50. Relistening again, I'm in agreement with you on not having such a wide dynamic contrast before the loop.

I'm going to approve this, but verify one thing for me: m27 LH 2.0 hard to tell and a lot of reverb, but I think this is actually a quarter length note (no 8th note An on 2.5). Seems like what you have would make sense as far as matching rhythm but I am having a hard time hearing the An

I do hear the A, but admittedly very quietly. I think it might just be the pianist playing it a bit too quietly

Some small things from me!
-m8: I don't think I hear the high F# on beat 4 in the L.H., especially compared to m16
-m9: I hear the E in the L.H. restruck on beat 4 (together with a pedal lift)
-m17: The Fn's in this measure should be E#'s
-m34: Just a question, is there a specific reason you wanted to write this section in 3/4 instead of keeping it in 6/4? I think it could work in both ways (imo even the 3/2 part could be in 6/4 with the beaming you currently have, but also either works)

oh lol sorry I just completely didn't finish my thought. I was gonna say wouldn't be the first time I did that hahaha

Yeah it's super quiet, but I think it makes sense to keep as that beat isn't really omitted in the left hand anywhere else.

-m8: I don't think I hear the high F# on beat 4 in the L.H., especially compared to m16

I'm still pretty sure I hear this one

-m9: I hear the E in the L.H. restruck on beat 4 (together with a pedal lift)

I think you're right! Not going to indicate precise pedalling here though

-m17: The Fn's in this measure should be E#'s

Oops, yep and added a courtesy natural on the E in the next measure

Yeah! I felt the meter different in each section. The 6/4 as 3+3, but most of these measures are a single chord/thought, somewhat similar to the 5/4 section but with an extra beat. The 3/4 section has the shift to constant arpeggios outlining a different chord every measure so it made sense to split them up. And for the last section, it repeats in 2+2+2/4 instead of 3+3/4.

Thanks for checking, files are updated!

[Bloop]

I'm still pretty sure I hear this one

Ah yeah I can kinda hear it now!

Everything else looks good, so I'll accept!
