I cannot look at the word 'Apparition' without thinking it's misspelled.

Nice to see any Souls sheet, especially Elden Ring!

Cool sheet here

• m6 RH: I think this is Bn instead of Bb.
• m32 RH: The 16th note figure isn't just a transposition of m28, it sounds more like Db-Bn-C-D-Eb.
• m33-34: Although the upper voices do sound like they hold out longer than the bass in the original, I think the effect of the rests would be greater if they were in both the RH and LH. Right now it doesn't really sound that much different from anything before or after.

I think that's it, looks good.

Hmm I still hear a Bb distinctly here.

m32 RH: The 16th note figure isn't just a transposition of m28, it sounds more like Db-Bn-C-D-Eb.

I think you're right, but I feel like the Db makes more sense as a Dn and it could just be the strings are a little flat there.  The Db doesn't sound amazing on piano coming directly off of that G chord.

m33-34: Although the upper voices do sound like they hold out longer than the bass in the original, I think the effect of the rests would be greater if they were in both the RH and LH. Right now it doesn't really sound that much different from anything before or after.

Yeah I totally agree here.  I considered having it like this before but went with what I did now to be more 'technically accurate' but I agree it doesn't get the contrast across very well.  Changed.

Thanks for having a look.  Files updated!

It still sounds more like a Bn to me, but maybe it's just kinda sharp. That chord sounds really dissonant to me in the original, not so much in your sheet.

The other stuff looks good though, so I'll approve and maybe someone else can take a look at that one part.

To me, it seems like the choir sings Bn but the strings (and/or their overtones) play Bb. Personally I'd opt for Bn here, though I can see both working.

[Bloop]

To add to the Bn/Bb discussion, I think the choir is singing something like a quarter tone between the two (I wonder if that was intentional or not). I personally probably would've heard it as Bn because of the dissonance as well, but since it could go either way, I can live with Bb as well

Some other small things:
-m16: Maybe you could add the two high string notes in this bar, to keep some momentum? (maybe not necessarily as trills but just as a straight D and Eb)
-m24: You could add a courtesy accidental at the Ab in this bar, as it could easily be mistaken as another F major chord (with the E major stuff surrounding it)
-m36: I hear the choir and strings jump lower down to Bn in beat 2, instead of D.

I agree with this being a pretty out of tune note.  My reasoning for going with the Bb is that I can hear one elsewhere in the strings, and the Bn sounds too dissonant to me and doesn't really fit that well in the piano arrangement, at least in my opinion.

I've added these (or tried to).  We talked and agreed that it was probably a D on beat 2 of bar 36 rather than an F.

Thanks!  Files updated.

Great! Then I'll accept!
