=====(The Details/Performer's Notes)=====

This main/title theme is my favorite out of the entire Xenoblade series. There's something about the solemn piano writing that reminds me of Studio Ghibli/Joe Hisaishi's work. The challenge in this piece is mostly with interpretation/musicality. Careful attention must be made for the phrasing, voicing and use of rubato. I choose to play this a bit more flowing, with more subtle use of rubato than in the original performance. Let me know if those subtleties make a noticeable difference.

I also extended the theme to highlight some of my favorite musical moments in the game as the main theme is thematically transformed and manipulated all throughout the games soundtrack. I hope you can enjoy these hauntingly beautiful theme.

Your Pianist,

Erik C.
