Piano Concerto No. 1 "Scorpion Fire" MIDI

Re: Piano Concerto No. 1 "Scorpion Fire" MIDI

I'm not going to bother with whether the actual notes are right, but there are a few issues of style:

Measure 5: That low B should really go to the left hand.
Measure 9: accelerando
Measure 10: ritardando
Measures 17-19: Why are there F and C flats? I don't see a good reason for them. E and B naturals would be so much nicer.
Measure 15: Give the first half of the top staff a bass clef, seriously.

Throughout the entire piece: use some 8va things. The ledger lines are annoying. Hell, the first few measures could use 15ma and 8vb!

Well, there's no program that perfectly translates a MIDI file into a playable chart.

I just opened the MIDI in AnvilStudio and it was PERFECT (Down to the 64th note!).

I might use AnvilStudio from now on even though it shows most notes as 8va.

If anyone's interested, here's a vid of someone playing Scorpion Fire on the piano: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzo696mJY38

edit: apparently, there's also a vid showing the score as the song progresses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlGQBYw9qnA

So is that finish? ^^

There are a few errors I saw while glancing the first page:

I am pretty sure that the last note of measure eight is tied to the top G of the first chord in the next measure.

The second chord of measure 10 should be F and G instead of C, D, and E.

The chord in measure 12 should consist of quarter notes. Otherwise your right hand will be holding the bottom F when your left hand will need to play it.

There are a few other notes that could have better durations, but they are not as important as these.

I think the second page might have a few duration errors also, but I will leave it alone for now.

What program are you using?

Isn't there a program that coverts Monochrome sheet music to a MIDI file?

I am only half done for now. It's going to take a lot more time than planified. Every triplet was written as other random things, so I had to rewrite them all at hand. The computer also didn't understand that 2 8th tied together gives a 4th and some other basic things.

But at least, i am half done. Other half should be finished tomorrow.

And if you want to start practicing, here's what I got for now. (Save the images on your computer rather than simply clicking them to get a better view.) If you see anything strange to see or to play, just tell me what to change.

Actually, I was fortunate enough to have somebody give me the official sheets off of YouTube. If anybody's interested, there's a download link for the .PDF file, but get it while it's hot, because iono how long it's gonna stay up there.

Have fun, good luck, and god speed, you guys are gonna need it if you plan on playing this beast. XD
Sorry if I kinda stole your thunder, emerald, I was looking for sheet music and I saw your guys' thread, thought I'd make an account and throw what I found into the forums and try and help out iono if this will get me banned, but I didn't know if you guys had found a good solid copy of the song ^^ So... here's what I found x]

Hey! Welcome to the site! I highly doubt something like this will get you banned--just give partial credit to emerald and everything should be alright. =)

I might take a look at this even though my skills aren't up to par.

Re: Piano Concerto No. 1 "Scorpion Fire" MIDI

yeah uh, never ever auto-convert ANYTHING

always do it by hand. you can like, take the midi output and use that, but you still have to modify the notes by hand so it's readable and correctly placed.

also, this is impossible to play perfectly because there are HUGE gaps and intervals that would probably require 4 hands.

this is also probably why it's split up into like 4 staves

Wow, that's a great find. I'll definitely save a copy of this. (But I won't start learning it until I actually get around to learning Demon Fire ;D)

I'm interested in what exactly you mean by 'official.' This isn't the exact version used by Beatmania or something, is it? Is there any information you can give us about it or from where it came?
