DekuTrombonist, are you still doing the SMG2 ending theme? I know it's very long, so even if you only did a little bit I'd appreciate to have it

Yes I'm really desperate for all SMG2 songs

Ah thanks cool

Not sure if Alpras is working on it, but just requesting in case there's any doubt it's wanted

HOLY YES!!!

Probably don't wanna do this one first, but think you can make the ending theme? (Played your ending theme of SMG1, really great)

Woah thanks thanks thanks!!

Will edit with more thanks when it's uploaded

Edit:
Thanks!! Really awesome

Sorry to be bothersome, but can you please upload what you have of Fluffy Bluff? Since I haven't really had much sheets I'd like to play in a while, the first part would take some weeks for me to learn, so you don't have to worry about getting it done quickly

I'm actually gonna try to play it... it's probably a few times more difficult than anything I've played before but screw that.

Nice arrangments of Melty Monster and Cosmic Cave! But how is Fluffy Bluff going?? It's difficult?

Thanks DekuTrombonist! Here's the soundtrack I found

Oh yeah BowieZ (youtube) has made a piano arrangment, but I don't think he has released the sheets

I agree it's not quite as good as Gusty garden, but right now it's new and I like it more (since I haven't listened to it 500 times yet...)

Also the rest of SMG2 btw, but Fluffy bluff is the "main" request

Yeah I took a risk with the orchestra, it's easy to regret a risk when it goes bad of course, since I can't know for sure if I could have gotten in, right now I don't feel like attending next year but that's just a temporally down-feeling I guess, I'll get over it and decide in a year. But I'm not relying on my piano skills for my future, I'm taking maths, psychics, chemistry and biology, so the piano is just a hobby I put to the test.

[Fail.]

OK results are in, short description..
Fail.

Oh well, so they started the CD, I told them I needed high volume but they put it waay low and I couldn't hear... so I got desynced often, and I wasn't able to think of the dynamics much... the judge didn't say if I was good or bad but he said there were many playing the piano and that the standard was very high.

Yeah I played quite slow in that recording, but I prefer to play a little faster than the real song, actually. I was thinking, "let's take this a little slow for once".

I have a little issue about the precast, since i want to play with the orchstra, and you only got 2.5 minutes, so I'll have to burn the song to CD, run right into and pop it in the CD-player and start playing, not much time for talk... or I could play without orchestra and just play a little faster. For the real audition on TV, I somehow doubt they will get permission to play the orchestra song anyway, what your guys opinion here? Would Nintendo allow that?

And while it sound more impressive with the orchestra, for me it makes it easier... so perhaps the judges would think I'm relying on it?

EDIT: So I sped the orchestra up 20% and burned it to a CD, it's 9 a.m. tomorrow, I'll report the judges' reactions back, though it says notification will be given within December 23rd.

Woah thanks for many replies! Would have checked earlier if I knew that

Cobraroll, it's the show "Norske talenter"

So about the pedal, yeah I've started to work on it a little lately. Basically for the past years I've been using pedal without thinking much about it, so if it's hiding something I didn't mean that. I have to ask what you mean with "clearly", does it refer to the dynamics or playing correctly? (left hand does some mistakes now and then)

Since it's hard to hear with the orchestra, I uploaded a more recent recording without it:

I was hoping for higher quality by using a mic, but unfortunately it sounds really bad at high volume, recorded it to my laptop that doesn't have a sound card (cheap school...)
Just noticed I played the song a little slow here, usually I go a little faster
Oh, and a F# (The middle one) on my piano is screwed... it sounds like it has full pedal all the time, hopefully it can be blamed a little...

As for how I learned the left hand, I just practiced for REALLY long (3 months until I could play full-speed, a couple more until there wasn't tons of errors). This song kinda took me to a new level, since nothing I had played before was near as hard.

And here is a guy that played in the show last year, he's quite good and got to the second round, so I just have to ask if I'm comparing to him

I don't aim to win, but I hope at least the judges will say that I played well... (they're 100% honest)

So I applied for a Norwegian talent show, and got approved! (For the precast before the real audition, lol)

Anyway what I'm gonna play is Gusty Garden Galaxy, arranged by Tzohar (with some small differences)
sheets here

And me playing here (the differences are not in this recording)

So what I'm asking, anyone got any tips for me to improve?
(recording is old, dynamics has gotten better, but far from perfect...)

Also please give suggestions for what I can play if I get to the next round (it's not until late January, but I need to start practice)

I know other songs of course but this is probably my best one, so far I'm considering OoT medley from here by Tangy, I already play a simpler version. Will need to improve the dynamics greatly for it, dynamics is my weak point
