Doesn't get much more Hoenn sounding than this

- You could move the senza pedale in m1 right a tiny bit.
- In m1 RH beat 4, I hear sixths more prominently than fourths—maybe rewrite them as sixths?
- I hear the LH strike again on m1 beat 4.
- You could invert m7/9 LH beat 3.5 up like the original does.
- Hearing something along these lines for the arpeggio in the second half of m13—there are definitely still some Bb's in there:

- Maybe write the eighth note + eighth rests in m14-end LH as quarter notes, since there's pedal?
- You might write m18-20 LH beat 1 differently since the bass motion there is downward, unlike m14-17.

All good suggestions, thanks! Not 100% sure how I wanted to edit 18-20 but it resembles the bass contour a little better now, with some fourths/fifths to flesh out the sound a bit.

Looks good, I'll approve this now. Although one minor thing, I'm not sure about the utility of having staccatos in the RH m10-13 when there's also pedal.

Thanks! Sometimes I'll write those in anyway to show how the melody is intended to be articulated even if it doesn't make a noticeable difference with pedal. Sometimes, including for this piece in particular, it's simple to lift the pedal momentarily for the staccato'd note.

In m13, the cross-staff 16ths look a little lopsided, like the LH stem is a bit too short compared to the others.
...And that's about it, very clean sheet. I think the accompaniment in m18-20 works well.

[Latios212]

Ah yeah that probably happened after I edited the pitches per MSF's comment. I've made a couple of tweaks, thanks!

Nice, I'll accept
