Bespinben's Arrangements! (020: "The Way Home" [帰り]~ PKMN Super Mystery Dungeon)

[Bespinben]

I suppose that's a good mantra to follow Shadoninja. I may just follow that advice, as I don't want to see more saddened faces like unto Wii Tank's upon seeing that I lack a solo version of an arrangement.

However, perhaps that sadness might be lifted somewhat by my newest solo arrangement of Pokémon Square?  

[Nebbles]

There we go!

[Bespinben]

Yay Nebbles! I hope you like my solo arrangement  

Word of advice while playing it: at the beginning, in order to sustain the low bass note while playing the top notes in the left hand, you have to use the sostenuto pedal (the middle pedal of the piano that most people don't know what it does). What that pedal does is that it sustains just one low chord while the other notes are unaffected, allowing you play the other notes in the left hand staccato.

[Nebbles]

>3< I don't have a pedal. I have a keyboard. So when I get good enough to play this, I'm gonna have to do without.

[Bespinben]

No pedal huh? That's a problem, mostly just for the beginning though. If that's the case, I'd recommend leaving out the high notes in the left hand and just do the low bass, possibly with an added octave.

[Nebbles]

All right, sounds fine to me.

Yay Nebbles! I hope you like my solo arrangement 

Word of advice while playing it: at the beginning, in order to sustain the low bass note while playing the top notes in the left hand, you have to use the sostenuto pedal (the middle pedal of the piano that most people don't know what it does). What that pedal does is that it sustains just one low chord while the other notes are unaffected, allowing you play the other notes in the left hand staccato.

That pedal only lets notes continue ringing which are depressed at the time the pedal is used.
In /some/ older pianos there is a pedal in the middle that replaces the sostuneto pedal with one that only lifts the mutes for the lower 2 octaves.

I'm a little jealous, cause i have the other pedal I described. It /can/ be cool if you press it and play your higher octaves staccato, cause the sympathetic vibrations from the lower strings create a really intriguing aura effect.

So, I assume you have a more modern piano?

[Bespinben]

I wish! I'm just a poor college freshmen with an eency-wincy keyboard. I do, however, really like pianos with the true sostenuto pedal, not like the one my family has (and apparently the one you have) that just lifts the mutes for the lower half of the piano. Course then again, I bet there are some high-quality pianos with a proper middle pedal in the music building at my university.

[SlowPokemon]

What impeccable timing you have Wii Tank. I just happen to now be posting a solo version of one of my duets!

By request, I arranged a solo piano version of Pokémon Square from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue team, as it seems that some people just aren't born with two sets of arms to play my original two piano arrangements XD Enjoy!

Pokémon Square (SOLO):                                  
[MIDI] [PDF] [SIB]

HAHAHA thank you kind sir!

[Bespinben]

My pleasure! It was fun making it.

[Oritendo]

wonderful job with "I dont wanna say goodbye". 

EDIT: thanks btw for getting rid of MediaFire!

[Bespinben]

Why thank you oritendo! That means a lot to me. Also, getting rid of Mediafire was no problem at all; in fact, it was the best thing I ever did. Why, my new file storage program (Dropbox) beats Mediafire by a thousand miles, especially with the direct linking capabilities.

Just completed my SOLO arrangement (yes, amazing right?) of the Menu Screen song from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue team. I have always liked this song since I felt it to be very relaxing with its innocent, happy, and joyful color. Unfortunately, I couldn't carry over all that feeling into the MIDI, but hey, that's what performers are for! Well anyway, enjoy!

Just finished my two piano arrangement of the Johto Wild Pokémon Battle theme from the Johto saga of the Pokémon anime (seasons 3-5)! My experience while arranging this piece just further cements my love for Shinji Miyazaki's re-orchestrations of Pokémon game music for the anime. By all means, please check out this awesome arrangement!

EDIT: CRUD! Didn't notice that the PDF link isn't working. I'll fix it right away!

EDIT 2: All better! Apparently I put an extra .pdf in the file link, making it look like "dropbox.com/Johto Wild Pokémon Battle.pdf.pdf" I deserve a smack in the face for that XD

[Winter]

Well let's see. As far as this song goes, since I was only able to listen to the midi  and view the PDF, not MIDI, I really like your use of pedaling, and the fact that you did make it possible to play. most versions of this song are impractical to play. I enjoy the dynamics you used. The end was odd though
