Arrangement by THIS IS PIANO



Are you fully satisfied just by listening to music? If so, here's your great chance to immerse yourself in the music by actually playing, practicing, and going along with it! Many people would have desired to play this music themselves, but it is not easy to transcribe the music on your own. Fortunately, now we have many experts who have been offering great music sheets, arranging music to a level that everyone could simply follow along and play! This music has also been transcribed and rearranged into piano music. The amazing and talented YouTuber THIS IS PIANO uploaded the music, bringing the opportunity for you to practice and make it your own.


A fascinating thing about the arrangement is that THIS IS PIANO was able to keep the energetic and positive features of the original music while letting everyone join in regardless of their level of piano performance. If you follow along with the music sheet, you will eventually be able to absorb the musical traits naturally without having to put in extra effort.


One feature of the arrangement is that it gives variations through a wide range of pitches. By simply adding different pitch ranges, this arrangement effortlessly gives us a different layer of enjoyment while playing it. Starting with a simple one-layered melody with rhythmic-focused accompaniment, this arrangement effectively introduces the main melody. Not only does it offer the main melody, but it also gets exciting when it features upper-range embellishments. For example, at 00:20, there is almost like a call-and-response part where the right hand gives an answer to the main melody. This is a perfect example of how this arranger understands the idea of ranges, by not only using left-handed accompaniment but also freely going back between the melody and accompaniment in the right hand. Starting at 00:30, the arrangement shows variations of the melody by adding thickness to the melody. It not only naturally increases the dynamic but also provides varieties of ornaments. At 1:30, the arrangement goes back to a one-layered melody, which contrasts with the previous part. The highlight is around 1:40. As you can hear, the arrangement is really well done in providing a different range at this point. The main melody goes into the middle range, while the inner voice also features its own melody. This provides an interesting dynamic when it comes to adding the high notes of the melody later. Likewise, this arranger is indeed an expert in using different ranges at the perfect time, which will give you much more excitement when you are practicing it.


Furthermore, THIS IS PIANO's arrangement demonstrates meticulous attention to detail, evident in the nuanced phrasing and articulation of each musical phrase. The arrangement spans a wide range of dynamics, from gentle pianissimo passages to powerful fortissimo sections, lending the music a dynamic and urgent quality. Additionally, the arranger's use of pedal enhances the warmth and resonance of the sound, resulting in a rich sonic experience for the listener.
