[Touhou] V. Armand Marseille, BITPLANE - Piano Transcription (Sheets in description!)
676th piano transcription~ The beautiful and elegant maid, Sakuya is back!!
The Original Arrange can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETPBs-ceoCw
First found the piece when it was uploaded by MarlyFlowerXI over a year ago! Excellent piece~
Transcription started on 8th of May, but as always things were very on and off, so it took a lot longer than expected!
This piece is very lively and requires quite a bit more dexterity compared to previous transcriptions (in my poopy opinion~ P: ).
The ending section with lots of octaves can cause some people problems if they are not used to playing strings of quick octaves.
For tips on how to play octaves better, there are a few guides around the internet, to start you off here's a video by Shawn Cheek which can be useful to check out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4C4t6a2kFc
You'll also have to jump your left hand over (or under, depending on preference and situation etc.) the right hand at times in this piece, it can be a bit tricky, but I've always found pieces which do this a ball of fun~
Once again, I'm learning a lot from this ^^
Tons of secret velocity changes on notes in sibelius to better simulate the original's dynamics~
BITPLANE is definitely one of my favourite Touhou piano arrangers, it's always a pleasure to hear their work and I can't wait to hear more!

*This piece was really fun to do! Fast octaves are mad fun!
**The original did some weird stuff with panning which I couldn't figure out how to simulate in sibelius (at least not without making several more instrument parts!)
