Oh no!

So sorry for the wait. The second half of last year has been quite busy. It would be nice if we had more help reviewing sheets, but... more on that later.

- D minor keysig?
- Is there a reason why most of the section from the latter half of m. 5 to m. 10 is shifted up or down by an octave in the right hand?
- I hear the RH 16th notes in m. 13-14 the same as in 11-12. There is a voice below it playing A-Bb-C-D as whole notes in this section.
- The arpeggios in m. 15-18 are in the wrong inversion, and the above comment applies similarly here too with the voicings (although the whole notes would be harder to reach here).

You're all good!

- D minor keysig?

oh.. yeah probably lol

Yeah, the strings come in and raises the intensity (I think it's played in octaves too) so I wanted to reflect that.

- I hear the RH 16th notes in m. 13-14 the same as in 11-12. There is a voice below it playing A-Bb-C-D as whole notes in this section.

It sounds like there's also an F-G below the C-D. For now I've included that an octave lower in the lh.

- The arpeggios in m. 15-18 are in the wrong inversion, and the above comment applies similarly here too with the voicings (although the whole notes would be harder to reach here).

It was up an octave because of the flute, but I'll move this down to make the lower voices easier to play.

I made the section from 11 to the end as a suggestion of arrangement. I could also see the whole notes being played by the lh and just omitted the first Dn if that seems easier to play.

Updated.

After testing both briefly, I think either works! Having the LH take the whole notes helps for m. 15-16 in particular; otherwise no issues with the difficulty.

[cashwarrior1]

Alright, I'll make the LH take over there! Updated.

Neat. Nothing more to add from me, I think approved

Looking good! Some small comments:
-I'm guessing you kept the 16th note C's in m5-6 and m9-10 as single C's instead of chords for playability? I think it's technically possible to play the full chords (I believe Fm), partly because i'm bad at repetitive notes with different fingers so i'm already bouncing on one finger lol. Just a suggestion tho ^^
-In m7-8, you could add the Ab and G below the R.H. chords, to imitate a little bit of the octave doubling of the strings.
-Maybe from m11 on you could add a con pedale mark? I'm assuming you were expecting the player to use the pedal in m15-16 already for the L.H., but only using it in those two measures will make those two sound very different from the rest of this section. Also, using the pedal for the rest of this part makes the R.H. easier to play too, as you don't have to physically hold those whole notes.
Now that I think about it, maybe you could give the m15-16 treatment to any other bar where the L.H. also has a whole note, so you can put those whole notes in their original octave? It felt a bit weird to me to have to break up the continuous D's for just those measures, and I find the sound of the low close intervals a bit muddy, but extending that to more of this L.H. part makes it more cohesive.
-In the youtube vid you posted, the last diminuendo in the last two measures goes on for 2 more measures.

I did, yeah. I definitely agree that its possible to play full chords, but 166 is such a fast bpm and I feel like it'd be easier to play the notes loud with a single finger.

I dunno how I missed that lmao

Updated.

Great, I'll accept!
