Tosti: Sogno For Solo Piano in C major (Resident Evil Village Style)

In the newly released game Resident Evil Village, the protagonist Ethan Winters stops by Castle Dimitrescu in Romania and casually plays the popular Italian song on piano.
Sadly, Lady Dimitrescu only prepared the first 2 pages for him so I had to complete the rest of the transcription starting from bar 23 by myself.
* The interval between the first 2 notes of the theme should be diminished fourth (G# instead of G) according to Tosti's original, however Capcom opted to make it rather simple as seen here.
* The aforementioned first 2 pages (from bar 1 to bar 22) are identical to those in the Opera Hall.
* There is no tempo indication in the "score" therefore I left it out.
* Typographical errors in bar 3 and bar 26 have been corrected and PDF is now updated.
* "Authentic Version", in a way that the second verse corresponds with the in-game audio which plays after the piano puzzle is solved, is now added to Download.

[@rattled1557]

does reading musical note and simultaneously playing the piano is impossible? im not into piano so this makes me curious

[@marzi9753]

@@rattled1557 not impossible, but it takes work. Imagine reading out loud, for example: when you were a kid, you probably started by slowly understanding how each letter sounded and how they form a word when combined. The sentence all together probably didn't make much sense, but you were practicing reading. Once it's a "second nature" thing, you can just look at it and the sentence itself will make sense, without reading it syllable by syllable. It works about the same way for sight reading: with practice, you will barely have to look at your hands because of muscle memory, and you can solely focus on reading the sheet. I hope this answer helps a little, I am actually not a good sight reader 😅

They say that this song is about longing/yearning for something/someone, and it always makes me think what lady d is longing for. Could be that this is one of her fave pieces, either she teach the music to her daughters or plays it with them...

Good question. She seemed pretty satisfied with her life, overall. I almost wonder if it was Miranda who chose this piece.

[@NobilityBibulous]

​@@Quirderph It's actually all an act. In truth she's rather unhappy. One of her diary notes hints at a huge superiority complex and wanting desperately to be Mother Miranda's favorite.

[@jaybonn5973]

Actually that's really cool. The left hand is playing the typical 6/8 run where the emphasis is on the 4th beat and what gives it that kind of skippy rhythm. But the right hand is really playing in 3/4 at cut time because each 8th note is divided pretty evenly as though all the 8ths have the beat and the quarters feel like the syncopated rhythms. By having the main beats of both lines not sync up all that well, its almost as if the lines are falling over each other trying to outrun the other which is why it sounds light and bouncy.

to those curious, i recently found something on tiktok explaining the lyrics behind this song which specifically hints to “longing for a woman” almost. theoretically i’d say this longing is perhaps for daughters, but maybe even a lover? (coming from a lesbian.. i’d totally go for the lover part.) lots of hints in the game point to both femininity and women, plus lady-d regarding men as nothing more than stupid things to be consumed and then disregarded. perhaps our glorious giantess is an edwardian lesbian?
