Digging up an old sheet of mine! I think I played through the entire game without realizing this track existed... because the music doesn't start until a minute in. Who'll stay that long on the title screen?

Anyway, this is probably the rendition of the Yoshi's Island DS theme that's most suited to piano. Enjoy~

Very nice sheet! Got very nostalgic hearing that melody again, I haven't heard it for at least a decade I think.

-m9: I hear a Dn on beat 1.75 in the L.H.
-m11-12: You can add in the low thirds from m13-14 here too, maybe from beat 3 of m11 on if that's easier to play.

We getting old :3

Thank you for giving it a look, I've updated both things!

I'll approve!

• I'm not sure I like 'fade in' being used instead of a dynamic marking, even if it captures the intent quite clearly. I think moving it above the stave (and right of the tempo) and adding an actual dynamic would be best, would you agree?
• m5 & m7: I think I hear the F# be restruck at beat 3.75, though it's not entirely clear in m5
• m8: Thoughts on including the mallet figure in the RH?
• m17 beat 3.75: You could include the low E in the RH here, to keep things moving

that's all, but next time transcribe the wave sounds

I'm not sure I like 'fade in' being used instead of a dynamic marking, even if it captures the intent quite clearly. I think moving it above the stave (and right of the tempo) and adding an actual dynamic would be best, would you agree?

I think I like its positioning centrally next to the crescendo where it's most apparent and where you'd expect the opening dynamic to be. I'd prefer to keep it, but if you feel strongly I can just change it to ppp or something, shouldn't make a difference in how it's performed

m5 & m7: I think I hear the F# be restruck at beat 3.75, though it's not entirely clear in m5

I don't think I hear either, at least nowhere near as apparent the restrike is in m. 10.

m8: Thoughts on including the mallet figure in the RH?

Good question, let's see...

The first couple of notes just octave double the left hand, and it's a bit of an awkward jump to the high E, and that's getting into the range of the main melody so I think it'd distract from the incoming main melody more than I'd like. I'd prefer to keep it out for these reasons!

m17 beat 3.75: You could include the low E in the RH here, to keep things moving

That makes sense, similar to beat 3.5 in m. 15. Updated (and m. 21 similarly)!

that's all, but next time transcribe the wave sounds

check out this sick sheet of mine

Files updated, thanks for checking!

Here's an idea (see attachment).

[XiaoMigros]

That's what I would suggest as well, though I would prefer the dynamic marking n rather than the circle

The rest of the changes look great though, happy to accept once you make a final decision on m1 (I am fine with whatever, even if it's a little unorthodox)

[Latios212]

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I'd prefer the n rather than the circle as it seems a bit more intuitive to read as someone who hasn't seen the circle before. I've updated the sheet accordingly

[XiaoMigros]

Perfectly acceptable
