I might miss some notes but I tried transcribing all the notes that I can hear for this particular arrangement by Ivan Linn since I can't find any sheets for it. Official track is panned to the right and a transcribed midi piano version is panned to the left for comparison.

So impressive! Thanks for making this.

OMG, no way, thank you!!! If this is really you, thank you so much for arranging some wonderful master pieces for us to enjoy. Amazing work! I love VGM on piano!

Aaa! What a great surprise - so happy to see an upload from you, and a cover from one of my favourite games by chance too! It's gorgeous, amazing work 💖

[@Orehmusic]

Thanks, Cakey! That means you've heard music from my favorite composer and who influence me to get into music in the first place, Yasunori Mitsuda. He is a great inspiration to me. Can't wait to hear what part 3 is going to sound like!

I wish my piano sounds this grand, like the use of pedals here gives me chills... What type of piano could do this :( Btw its mainly the echoing..

[@Orehmusic]

I mainly use pianoteq vst for piano tracks. I love the sound of the sympathetic resonance it creates. Most sampled piano vst's don't have it. 👍 The downside though, for me, the sympathetic resonance from a real piano can get in the way of transcribing. I sometimes don't know if it should be notated or not. This happens on a few tracks where Ivan strikes the lowered registered notes on the piano with a lot of power and the other notes start to ring.

​@@Orehmusic Your definitely very talented in music, have you seen any pianos have this kinda of resonancing effect when using pedals in some way? Also, In my case I'm trying to use your sheet music for One Last You along with Aqare's one to create my own new feel on this song, I'm using soundcloud paid, its been hard trying to kinda mix some note with another because I don't know what chords/notes together sounds good, any tips (2+) on these transcriptions? Anything could I learn to understand this more, I have a lot of free time to learn, I'm grade 5 in music theory right now? Also what would say "Transcription" is? Thank you so much, a long response like the one you did for Ivan Linn talking about your story is GREATLY APPRECIATED!! (Lucky to see someone this talented in youtube :))

[@Orehmusic]

@@speedrunmaster_ Transcriptions are note for note translation from audio to sheets. I think the term you are looking for to express your creativity is piano arranging. There are a lot of great music theory videos here on youtube. You can look into studying chord progressions/chord substitutions (secondary dominance, parallel substition, tritone substitution, etc.)

@@Orehmusic Thank you for your response, I'm soooo sorry I was rude when I was asking a question. Could you please answer briefly these questions, one by one? Appreciate it a lot! 1. Any Starter tips on improvisation, if you have the knowledge? 2. What program/where did you learn to make these kind of animations with the notes shown in the video? 3. Do you have any plans to create your version for "Where we belong" from xc3, or is it too hard without Ivan playing it?
