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

[Latios212]

I hope to play this one day!

I went through the piece a few times on my piano (very... very... very... slowly) and wow, does it sound great!

I must ask about playability though... how would you recommend playing the LH part of measures 9, 44, and 58? Playing it exactly as written looks literally impossible. Am I supposed to smash the keys with my face?

Bespinben's arrangements aren't known for their playability lol.

Yeah I know... as of right now I can play only the simplest of Bespinben's arrangements. XD
But this piece is especially nice... I really wanna play it (even if it may just be the case that the first page and a half wants me to believe that this arrangement is almost playable).

[braix]

I can only play to measure 20

[Bespinben]

Woah. Real people playing my stuff. Crazy.

I'm trying to change that! (little bit at a time)

What I employ here is a notation that is common to romantic era piano music. I have yet to find a name for it, so we'll just call it "sustained arpeggiated grace note". I first encountered in Maestro's Rainbow Road arrangement, and then found it spewn over piano literature. One example is in Malotte's "The Lord's Prayer"


Latios is right in that these passages can't be played exactly as written. It's not possible to play them in strict time, so you have to think of there being a bit of an unwritten ritard. based on how quickly you can get from the grace note to the principal note.

As for my arrangement, m. 9 and m. 44 you have a lot of lee way for how long to make that jump, but m. 58 you really have to be quick.

You should do a mash-up of this piece and Parting (or Run Away?) from the first game. It feels like they would work well together :3

I have to admit, I have been listening to this arrangement for atleast 5 hours now

[Bespinben]

In celebration of Majora's Mask 3D, Xaoz and Bespinben united to form a new entity - XaozBespinbenFan - and have created a new arrangement: "Calling the Four Giants" (aka 2nd half of "Oath to Order"). May wisdow shine upon you all.

so when's the next update

[Xaoz]

Next arrangement session of Bespinben and me will be next friday! He does not know it yet, but I am confident in my ability to annoy the **** out of people, until they give in!

[Bespinben]

so when's the next update

Well, we got 14 accepted sheets in the queue already, so really just whenever Deku or I feel like clicking the button!

(Are you perhaps insinuating something....?)

[Maelstrom]

so when's the next update

When brassman finally finishes fixing my arrangement of Serpent Devouring the Horizon. There will be a revolt if it is not accepted by the next update.
