Minor Piece (マイナーピース) - Classroom of the Elite Season 3 Piano Cover
11As Classroom of the Elite S3 is out, Ayanokoji vs Arisu's chess game is what I waited VERY long for, but it turns out to be a bombshell.
But Lerche does know how to intensify the chess moment, with it's opening "Minor Piece" playing during their chess game, dragging us to Ayanokoji and Arisu's domain in 0:57. Which is why I decide to make an INTENSIVE piano cover of this song.
There are some parts of this piece that feels difficult to arrange. One of which is 0:37 and 1:47, the rapping part. But instead of using some classical melodies like Animenz' idol, I decide to deduce some pitches during the rap.
Another part I found tricky is the "Zugzwang- ra-ta-ta" in 1:14. Here I took inspiration from Animenz' "There Is A Reason" three hand melody and put hard stuffed chords to show Ayanokoji's power figure, while travelling between octaves to give some colour to this rock, tough song.
For COTE fans, how do you feel about that chess game? Comment down below.
