Welcome to our first arrangement contest!

[SlowPokemon]

I have a question; are we allowed to show our arrangement to others for critique before submission?

[Brassman388]

I'd imagine that wouldn't be a bad idea or something anyone would go against.

[Olimar12345]

I literally just took the melody. thats it. is that kewl?

Literally, JUST the motive. WE kewl? Yes? No?

[MaestroUGC]

The melody is essential to knowing what the original was and being able to establish that connection. A motif is much harder to do so because it's much shorter than most melodic material and can be taken from multiple sources (ike if it is the ground work for a couple of themes from the same game.) My answer would be reworking to melody alone is perfectly fine, but just one motif from a greater theme is not nearly enough to establish the original and understand what exactly you changed.

[Olimar12345]

Whatever-I'm doing a short song anyway(the original song being 32 seconds long), so I dont think it's that big of a deal.

[Olimar12345]

Hey are we still doing this? 'Cause I just finished my piece...

[Cobraroll]

Yup, the contest is still running!

Perhaps we should have sign-ups next time. At least we can get an estimate of how many contestants there are going to be...
Looks like there will be little competition for the prize this time. The judges are happy, at least.

[Olimar12345]

Kind of off-topic, but has the description for the music thread always been just a "?" ?  lol.

[SlowPokemon]

Wat we could've been submitting this whole time? Mine's been done for like two weeks.

Wow. Talk about inverting the mood! It sounds like it belongs in Kirby's Epic Yarn! (This is coming from a judge!)
Unfortunately, not very playable when it comes to piano. Can you adjust that?

[MaestroUGC]

No he can not, if he submitted it then that version is final.

[dahans]

I think it's playable! I have seen much more difficult pieces .

Alright... here it is! If you call me crazy, I can understand that.

My arrangement is based on the following song:

Anyway, could you edit your submission post with a link to the original song? The one you used as a basis for your arrangement? Thanks in advance!
