Dark Souls 2 - Longing (credits song) piano arrangement (with sheet music)
So, a bit delayed (sorry) due to the fact that the PC version of DS 2 came out, (and I couldn't resist playing it)
here is my arrangement of 'Longing' the credits song of DS 2.
Sheet music+MIDI:

(all my arrangements will be found there)
This one was really hard for me. Transcription was hard, arranging was even harder, and I'm still not sure the way I did it suits the piece best. I mean, I stand by my arrangement, but with this one I thought 'maybe this just doesn't fit the piano' more often than with any other arrangement I did. Still, I hope people will enjoy it (and maybe be inspired to arrange it in a different way).
Some explanations:
I tried to fit in a lot of voices, which makes the piece a lot harder to play than you might think at first glance. Sometimes the left hand has to cover for the right, sometimes you have to play pretty big intervals (if you can reach a 10 it's possible to play), and you always have to pay attention how you play the different voices in the right hand (in the original piece they are different instruments after all).
I left out dynamic markings because there are so many ways one could play this, and if you want to play it like I would just listen to the video.
I'd love to hear someone play this; there is a lot of freedom in timing and dynamics in this one.
Also,
Praise the sun! \[T]/
