Made an oops on the octave in measure 8. It's fixed now.

[Bespinben]

Ottava alta (i.e. 8va) over long distances in the lower staff in bass clef is unidiomatic for piano notation. You'd be much better served by using a treble clef, then switching back to bass clef at m. 9, beat 3:



Also, is the omission of the cello doubling in m. 10-17 intentional?

[Zunawe]

I had it as treble clef initially. I think my brain disliked the inconsistency. Fixed

They are different octaves, aren't they. Added doubling (and also held notes in 18-24, unless those seconds are too weird).

[Zeila]

To add onto what Bespinben said, here's what I got

- I think you should space out the systems a bit to fill out the page more
- The composer and arranger info aren't right aligned
- I can see why you'd put m18 on a new system, but I think it would look neater if you put the second system and onwards as 5 measures each and changed the spacing to be the same
- You should put 'con pedale' at the beginning
- This is picky but you could center the piano marking
- The tempo is slightly too fast. Try 55 or 56
- m17 The D on beat 3 sounds like a quarter note to me
- Put a rit. on the penultimate measure
- Maybe you can add some dynamic changes too

with most changes added (before you added the octaves)

Nice work!

[Zunawe]

Agreed and updated.

[Maelstrom]

JD and I both checked it, and it was good enough to make JD decide to go buy the soundtrack.

Accepted, with a few changes discussed over discord.
