Ha ha, thank you, augmentedfourth, I really appreciate it. You know, I was actually thinking of Der Erlkönig when I was fooling around with the bass part on this one, that's quite a coincidence. It's definitely the craziest bass line I could think of offhand in classical music. I really love that song, we studied it in good old Music Appreciation in college, ha ha. I would not want to play it for four minutes straight, I think any normal person's hand would fall off. I appreciate it about the rhythm, speaking of that, but I really felt like at a few points my left hand just wasn't obeying my mental commands, especially the second time the bass shifts up to D. I need to train with Eye of the Tiger playing in the background to do fast bass parts!
But yeah, I probably need to start recording actual videos with these things, just to show that I really do play them. Any time I label a song a piano cover it's strictly two-handed piano. Anything else I'll go in and record the parts separately, saves me the time and is a lot easier than learning them together, when that's even feasible.
Also, Aeroprism, I am ready to whip out the air guitar and my no-longer-existent long hair, ha ha. I would really like to see you rock this song, I think that would be amazing. I wish I could get my guitarist friend to go in on it, we could do a massive collaboration and destroy it. And myau, you are so right, this game's soundtrack is amazing. Not always the best game in the series, but it matches up pretty well musically.
