I have a CD out! Final Fantasy VI on piano
Hey guys, I've played classical piano for about 14 years now, I learned about the VG music scene 5 years ago and this is my first "official" release. These arrangements were done with the intent to honor as many details of the original sound versions as best I could, while keeping them sounding pianistic. Most FF pianos I've seen are "piano collections" style, these are more in the tradition of the classical "piano transcription."
Mystic Awakening: Music of Final Fantasy VI  Now a free download. Thanks to everyone who bought one! Full album.zip 01. Opening Theme 02. Awakening 03. Locke 04. Kids Run through the City Corner 05.

I've heard the piano collections version, and I don't like it either. This tune in OSV fits Kefka's character really well, it's sort of mocking. The sheet music in the OSV book is ridiculously simplified and in a easier-to-read key than the original Bb minor. So about mine: The part at 0:13 isn't exactly like the original, but has the same effect and works better tonally. Starting at 0:33 the left hand has some large leaps from low to the middle of the keyboard, but instead of using big chords that you'd usually find in oom-pah basses, I just use the octave for the low part and just a 3rd in the middle - it's really all that's necessary, and I try to make my transcriptions efficient instead of bloated (see: Liszt grande etudes vs. transcendental etudes for bloated vs. efficient.) The right hand has some arpeggiated figures swirling through the melody notes - again, not exactly as original but presents the same aural effect while fitting in the hands better. I chose not to repeat because I think it says all it needs to in one play-through - there's plently of repetition in it already. But nothing's stopping you from putting it on repeat if you disagree. So that's that. PS please don't torrent this album if you buy it  I'm actually the recording artist here, and this is my first commercial venture, if everybody just downloads it, I won't bother to put out any more, you know? There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Sure, why not?
I've got some abbreviated handwritten scores, but I haven't made any for the computer yet. Any you'd like to see specifically? I could try to make one pretty quick. How ya doing, buddy?
