I hope this doesn't sound like a complain/whine thread to you. But I'll let all of you make that sole decision.

Okay, so anyway, the first page of both piano sheets, I tried it to hear how close it sounds like to Miss Faye Wong's rendition - I'm learning how to play music on the piano of just my personal favourites (and I must thank Ichigo's Sheet Music for helping me to find songs like Moonlight Densetsu and Laputa's Theme Song!).

So umm, I only tried the treble cleft (I only reached Grade 2 piano so I can't do things like reading notes on-the-fly and playing with two hands quickly) for both sheets, just the first page.

Both confused me thoroughly - so I resorted to listening to the .MIDI files.

My conclusion?

The first beat seems more 'professional' - more keys and more sophisticated to play, but here's where my 'complain' starts - it's too upbeat!
It's supposed to be a kind of a ballad, a sad song, you know...

The second one was closer, mood wise. But it doesn't seem to follow the beats of the original song.

I hope I didn't offend anybody with my opinions. I would like to hear what everyone has to say about this...

First one sounds like a transcription of the Piano Collections. That may be why it 'sounds professional'. It doesn't sound upbeat to me.. The second one is an arrangement. It's simpler than the Piano Collections version. You might want to try listening to the actual Piano Collections recording. You can find it on youtube. There you can get an idea of how other people play it as well.

Pretty much it's up to you, how you want to play it. Make the music your own. Put YOUR own feelings into it. If a song is too fast, play it slower to where YOU feel it should be. If a song is too slow, play it a little faster. Just play it the way YOU think it should be played.

Maybe I was reading too much into it.

I didn't know it was from the Piano Collections - thanks for clearing up!

Does this actually have anything to do with the thread youve posted it in?
