Finally, I'm back with new piano covers! I'm planning to create a new album featuring piano arrangements for both you and myself!

A bit of background: In 2023, I came across some YouTube videos showcasing the demo version of the game MiSide. After watching those, I was eager to play it myself, and I ended up really enjoying it. The game was released on December 11th in the morning, and I bought it almost immediately and completed it. I initially thought I would just play an interesting game, but it turned out that there was a lot of captivating music.
Unfortunately, many of the soundtracks will be challenging to adapt for piano, so I won't be able to transcribe everything. However, I'll do my best to select the best pieces!

Now, let's get into the performance of my arrangement:

1. After the introduction, as the dynamics develop, there are some nuances to pay attention to. At 0:27, make sure to use the pedal for the bass notes. Personally, I preferred using the sostenuto pedal here because I wanted to maintain a non-legato touch in the melody.
‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗
2. At 0:36, as the melody evolves, it's crucial that both melodies remain expressive.
‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗
3. At 0:43, I use the right pedal slightly on the first beat. Remember not to lose the articulation in the melody, which has transformed into staccato. Only at 0:50 do I use the right pedal for the entire measure; by then, the melody in my right hand changes while my left hand continues playing the old melody from the previous section.
‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗
4. At 0:52, I apply the right pedal very carefully since there are staccato notes in the right hand melody. By 1:15, I switched to using the sostenuto pedal because the melody in my right hand has fully transitioned into staccato.
‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗
5. From 2:03 to 2:27, there are very short durations in the right hand and closer to the end of this section in the left hand. It's better to interpret these as a form of arpeggiato rather than counting them out. I hope this will come intuitively for you; here, finger agility is essential.
‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗
6. At 2:27, the melody is played non-legato. At 2:36, there are small slides in the original piece; I've chosen to use pedal here to highlight this distinct period.
‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗
7. At 2:43, we reach a climax where everything sounds quite loud and assertive. In this concluding section, there are a couple of nuances to note. The right-hand melody features a lower voice with an "a" note. I forgot to visually indicate that during the second and subsequent power chords "a-e-a," the left hand plays the "a" note. This would be more comfortable and prevent strain on your right hand. I've corrected this issue in the MIDI file, so no worries!
