Man, you gotta love those split thirds.

[Sebastian]

I love this song!
Everything looks in order to me. Great work! 

[DonValentino]

Have you considered removing the lower G sharp in m. 8? That octave jump and at that speed would be too much I think. Other that that, a-ok.

[Tobbeh99]

I think that jump is a difficulty spike in this arrangement but I don't think it needs to be removed. And it's certainly not unplayable.

[DonValentino]

Well yeah, but still. It wouldn't hurt at all and would make that part more accessible.

[Olimar12345]

While I do agree that it is difficult, it would be weirder imo to leave out a voice like that in this context. I'm able to play it at about 150 bpm and I'm not even a pianist so I don't think it's that bad.

[Sebastian]

Just to confirm, I tried playing it and I can at 150 BPM.....and I'm not even that good of a pianist :p

[Tobbeh99]

I'm wondering however, if the staccatos on the 16ths notes are necessary at this speed.

This situation totally didn't need a confirmation, but okay??

I'm wondering however, if the staccatos on the 16ths notes are necessary at this speed. 

Why wouldn't the staccato be necessary? What does the speed have to do with the attack/beginning or the lightness of the note?

[Tobbeh99]

I though staccato indicated that the notes are to played "shorter then their original value", and at this speed it wouldn't be such a different with a 16th note and a 16th with a staccato. But if you want to show that the notes are to be played lighter, I guess it's fine.

[Olimar12345]

^Thats exactly not what staccato means. Staccato is an articulation marking that means to play a note "light" and "separated." If you want a shorter note, use a shorter note value.
