Should just be called "In the Fields"

[mastersuperfan]

Looks nice, just a few things:
- Tempo should be 94 BPM instead of 96.
- You could include a mordent on m7/m21 RH to replicate the flute mordent in the original.
- On m8/m22 LH beat 4, the D# in the chord sounds like it should be an E instead.
- For m10 RH beat 4.5 (F#-A) dyad, it sounds like the lower note should be an E instead of an F#.
- m10 RH beat 3 sounds like it extends to the beginning of beat 4 (where you currently have a sixteenth rest).
- Adjust the slur at the end of m22 RH so that it's "outgoing" into m9 instead of ending on beat 4.75?
- I don't really like how the second page just has two systems and a bunch of empty space while the first page is pretty busy and cramped. On top of that, I think it'd look better if the staves were spaced apart more (especially due to how close that slur gets in m13), so I think this sheet would benefit if you spaced everything out more and pushed one system onto the second page.

I intentionally avoided the mordent in m7/21 because it's not possible to hold the chord and play it at the same time.
Everything else was changed, nice catches and thanks for the feedback.

Files updated.

Is it not possible to play the mordent if you use the fingering 1-2-4 on the chord?

[Maelstrom]

being able to play an octave with 1-4 and a note in the middle without moving your hand to hit a 9th with your 5th finger is an impressive feat I doubt few people who play sheets on the site can do.

Mael has massive hands, so if he says it's impossible, I'll take his word for it.

- m10 RH beat 3 sounds like it extends to the beginning of beat 4 (where you currently have a sixteenth rest).

also this

Also, the outgoing slur at the end of m22 kind of... droops down instantly and doesn't look outgoing at all, lol. I was thinking something more like this:

[Maelstrom]

Actually, the way I created it was by pasting the measure it loops to right afterwards, putting a slur there, and moving a new slur directly over top of it, before removing the final measure and the extra slur. The final effect is a slur that is placed exactly how finale would have placed it if the song had continued on. If you think this isn't good enough, I can change it, but I think it's fine as is. The next note isn't really that much higher anyway ...

Hmm, okay. I think it's a bit strange, but it's fine.

Approved.

Looks great, just a couple of small things:
- Bass note in m. 4 beat 4 stays at E instead of dropping down to C#
- Grace notes in m. 14-16 should be B# instead of B

[Maelstrom]

agreed and files updated, thanks for taking a look
