Okay just because I cannot play it, it doesn't mean no one can.... So, can someone play this for me?!

Okay I transcribe music for fun and I really like playing them with my friends. I do orchestra scores too. It take awhile for me to finish transcription because I try to be as exact as possible. I transcribed a song from Anime; Final Approach. I tried to play it with my own hands (I suck at piano) and I couldn't play. Can someone play this for me and send me the video? When you send me the video, I am going to edit the video. Put special effects and stuff then upload it in youtube with your name and mine.

[I]If you are going to do this for me, please... PLEASE post that you will be helping me on this thread so that I won't have 10 people playing this for me and sending them to me. Please upload it on filesharing website and give me the link. PM if you have questions.

They did not have OST for piano version so the music i transcribed this listen to the Anime... The Full Score is the Beta Version. I am going to make another Version with pictures if I can figure out how to put pictures in Finale. GOD

Sorry for uploading so many different versions. The one you really should download is The Song of Nishimori's Thoughts. I had this Japanese text professionally translated for me so... Use that one. And I fixed several things

WHEN YOU PLAY: Please angle your camera to show the sheet music. Show all the piano keys. You don't have to show your face. Do it in a quiet room. Play as beautiful as you can.

It's all playable until 17-24. Some of those notes can't be played at the same time in one hand.

Yeah, octaves are about your limit for one hand.

Also, you have some spelling errors with your notes. Remember, you are in 4/4 so your note groupings should be grouped in groups of four. This is so the performer has an easier time to play your composition. So in your case...

That is how the notes should be spelled. There are also misspellings at the beginning. Can you spot them?

Well didn't Rachmaninov have like a ridiculous 13th interval span in some of his piano pieces? Tho I understand he's the exception.

And I thought about saying Rachmaninov was the exception too. XD

I'll try it if I can do it. I'll practice it and see if I can. I can do fingur range of 10 notes but then it takes forever. I could probably do something about it though. If I send you a video could you transcribe something for me? I'll still send you the video if you can't. Can you tell me where I can here the song? It doesn't sound like an amazing song and the coutning. It would help for me to here it. Thanks!

Also, sorry for so many replies, I changed the beginning so it has squiggly lines. I also added a left hand. Forgot what's it's called! I'll probably do it!:)

Heard song from here (There's an album version) : http://www.imeem.com/groups/temVoEsd/music/Yt28JNIk/final_approach_original_soundtrack_nishimoriuta_no _omoi/

Okay the huge note range gap I can play BUT it's going to sound really soft and I can only get right once and a while by playing the left hand D with F and playing the A with my right. It's possible but hard! It sounds really nice by the way.

Last post talking to you about this, promise. It maybe more plausible to make this a duet than a single piano piece. You combined three instruments into one song making the reaches difficult. It also doesn't bring out the violin part as much when you try it on the piano. The next post I post I promise will be if someone else posts or when I'm done with the video. (Still not sure if I should do it though. I want to see if I cna get that reach perfectly.)

Whoa~~~ After U wrote this, I took a 12 hour nap. And so many replies. Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know there were rules like that. I will fix it and reupload it.

Cool! Download the latest version of my Transcription. It's easier to read. Thanks for playing it for me!

Anyways, has it been decided? Will someone play this for me or do I have to play it myself. Which... I tried and failed.

this is almost 100% playable because the note gaps do not come together. Even on the few few that does, you can try splitting it through a gliss. Though you won't be playing it as written, with correct use of the pedal, you should be able to achieve a very similar effect.

How: Use your pedal to sustain the bottom note while playing the top note with a jump. Release the pedal as you see fit or if u can't tell, once per bar. Another method, though I'm not too sure how great it will work is...hold the pedal halfway down. This will allow for a resonance. That is, the sound will fade in volume immediately after your finger is released but it will still be in the background softly.

The method I said is definately not easy though:heh:

This is playable. Just some difficult jumping in that middle section, but anyone should be able to play it with a little effort put into it.

Also, an octave is the biggest the hand can stretch and be able to move comfortable (that's at least the average for a pianist). I, myself, can get a 10th in, but I cannot move it as fast as an octave (and I can't with a 9th either).

Never worry about big chords, because you can always roll them (arpeggiate the chord) but worry about big-chords or large spread notes in fast parts.

Playable. Play the dotted C in bar 17 and various bars should be played with the left hand. Cover up the 10 note interval with pedalling. Or use your nose!

Actually, I think the way you have the rhythm is just fine; somehow Porsche didn't even use his own rule of "groupings of 4 notes". O.o

In my example I see four groups of notes.

Well generally in 4/4 time you have groupings of 4 eighth notes, which is basically what he has. Personally I think his way would be easier to read, but it doesn't really matter either way.

Shift all of the middle line to the LH at 17. Switch back the f-e-f in 18 (or maybe just the first F, still deciding), keep the C in the LH. Trick is to hold that for it's full length while you play the last note, so that it sings out. This still leaves one or two 10ths in the LH, you can ripple them safely coz you're coming off a bass note.

I'm working on it.
