I swear this is the most evasive song to find for sheet music, but it's just that amazing!
Would anyone know where i can download it?

Here's a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eJnBGqXYew

Ooh I like this. I'll give it a shot. Will take a couple weeks though depending on my stream of motivation (got like half the melody done in a couple hours).

Love this song so much, very impressive by deep feelings.
I've never found this piece anywhere before.
So, cheer up! kindly transcribers :)
I'm waiting for the piano sheet and want to try it soon.
Thanks for sharing & transcribing this arrangement.

Yay ^^ it's such a pretty song. I gave it a try, but all i could finger was the melody. ^^ i think you'd be the first to put this song to paper for others to play thank you!

Ok..So i'm progressing at a pretty reasonable rate (i think) but I have found a point in a song where I haven't the slightest idea on how to notate it (somewhere between 0:35 - 1:17). So while I work on the rest of the song, I'm gonna put this out there to see if anyone can give me a hand with it.

(basic melody for some parts but actual notes should be right. Just rhythm is out for the noted parts)

From 0:35 to 1:17
In bar II room 6 and bar III room 12 -> add "poco rit."
room 5-6 -> I think all of melody was already corrected.
room 11-12 -> First note in the left hand should be longer, try to listen again very slowly.
Sorry, I have no idea about the position for notes pattern and notations.
Maybe I had wrong advice. ;)
For sure, just ask another transcriber like -Snomits-, Animenz, BakaDuck, or PorscheGTIII.

it sounds about right to me. The sixteenth notes runs are amazing. but i do agree with lolitypianist it needs a poco rit then an atempo at bar 11

I find it great that you transcribe this song. I've looked everywhere for sheet music but couldn't find them.

Sorry for sounding impatient, but how's the transcription going? I really wanna learn this song :P I tried transcribing it myself, but I'm terrible at it ._.

Aw, a nod from lolitypianist! Warm fuzzy feeling abound.

I just noticed ToastOfDoom's "help" there. Yeah it sounds good to me... I don't normally worry too much about expression/tempo markings since people can listen to the song and figure it out, so long as the notes are there.

I see what you mean with the notation and timing... erm yeah, if I were making this...

Bar 6
- I'd group the first 8 notes (from D to F) with the rest of the run.
- E.g. Also make them 16th notes; followed by F quarter note; then E and F eighth notes. :S

Bar 11
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4411/snipn.jpg
- I had to reaaaallly slow it down to hear the notes, but that's what I make out. Disregard the timing, I just wanted to get the notes down.

Bar 13
- Don't know if you plan on doing this later, but for the four-note chord, I'd move the A to the left hand. So that you can do a broken chord on the other three notes. (Bunch of the other chords are also broken, but you may be intending on adding these later if at all.)
- I know the timing's really tricky, but I feel the F's (last note) value isn't half of the note before it. It kind of has that "dotted 8th, 16th, 8th, 8th" feel (where the F is the 16th in this example). But the tempo seems to be changing throughout so no big. I say "feel" because I can't think of a good way to put it without it looking unnecessarily messy heh. Glad I'm not making the decisions on this!

Bar 14:
- Chord on the first beat, I'd move the G and B to the left hand. Also the 3rd beat, I'd move the F# and A to the left hand. And so on with some of the other notes/bars, having the left hand play the two lowest and the RH playing one (maybe two? notes).
- I really suck at working with chords, but I think I'd take the C# out of that chord too (the one on the 3rd beat).

And then I stopped being picky at that bar. Please take my notes with a grain of salt. My ear's bad, I just spend the [looong in my case] time to try to transcribe. And half of my suggestions are preference/minor. I'd really like to play this song too, so rootin' for ya Toast!

Hey guys...

Sorry for the delay, but this is just an update of progress ^_^;

Been abit slow in progress sorry ^^;
Currently have abit more than half the song analysed (basic melody + chord progression/patterns) so it's just a matter of notating it out and fluffing it up (if that makes sense =P)

@Snomits
Thanks for the comments. I think in the end it's gonna be more of a general idea of what the notes/timings are and just leave it up to the player to feel out how it should sound. My ear's aren't very spectacular either ^_^; I found slowing down those sequences in bars 5/11 doesn't really help. The notes are too close together and the software just makes it all sound like ringing so in the end I just listened to the start and end note of each step in the sequence and interpolated between to make a tidy rising sequence. You were right in those chords in bars 13 onwards should be broken and i was just gonna put them in later. I probably won't move the notes to the other staff though and leave it up to the player to figure out whatever fingering is comfortable for them (and plus..it'll make it look messy =P)
Been using a niffy program called 'Transcribe!' to work out some of the chords. It's not 100% accurate, but it's a pretty useful tool.

Yep - I agree that in the end it's in the hands of the individual pianist/player. I'm sure I make a lot of errors with transcriptions. But it's a plus to be exercising one's own flair when playing, IMHO. Once the main bit is there it also becomes easier to figure out the rest. (C'mon players, the grunt work's been done already!) Well, great to hear you're well on your way. Thanks Toast. I still gush over koman's piano arrangements, and it's a pity I don't really see transcriptions of them.

How's it going? ToastOfDoom.
I always recognized this song when I see Gumi, loved the Campanella song & PV story.

About room 5-6, 11-12 you can simply mark it above the bar "play as rubato."
At the last hook past, the key has to upscale from E♭ major.
Thanks to -Snomits-, a part of melody that he found was useful when I play it by ear, ad lib on the left hand.
Anyway, I need some nice piano sheet like ToastOfDoom's intro part released, especially for the piano solo part.

Thanks a lot for working on the rest of this song, ToastOfDoom.
Tell me your progress details, I really appreciate to help you. :)

Sorry for bumping such an old topic, but I was wondering if any progress has been made on the transcription :P

I apologize for another one bump this old topic. It has been a while since then.
I still would like to play this whole song, so I need the transcriber who can continue along the rest of this song.
ToastOfDoom doing his/her best intro transcription. If you see this message, please tell me your progress details. Thank you in advance.
Anyway, please let me know if someone can help to transcribe VOCALOID: "Campanella - Gumi" (Piano version by Koma'n). Thank you so much. :)

Hello, I am interested in helping transcribe that song, I fell in love with it a few days ago XD
