Congratulations Bladiator. Your first mix up on OCR! (I think)

This has done incredibly well over at VGMix. It's a remarkable piece, I find myself humming it all the time.

No nitpicks, a perfect recording.

Darn.. 2nd place again for review.

The beginning is kinda quiet.. but I guess that's part of it. If it bugs me too much I'll just raise it myself on cool edit.

This song is way awesome tho! Piano pieces are amazing, and this upholds everything ever set as a standard on OC. I've followed you in Wip's and PRC's bladiator, and I'm glad to see you've finally made it on.

It is short, but sweet. Definately on playlists and stuck in my head.

Right on bro, nice work.

Congrats on the hosting. It really is a nice little remix. (I liked it when I first heard it, :D) I was pained to see the words 'newcomer' in the intro though... I knew djp would use it, and to the OCR hosting world it's true, but I think he uses it too liberally. I mean you've been around for a year of PRC's right? Hardly new.

Oh well, I'm over it.

I suppose I'll get similar treatment when I get hosted.

Just consider yourself lucky to have been able to listen to Bladiator's music for all that time. I know I do. :)

Nice work bubs. Teach me to play piano and stuff, and I'll be your friend forever. Dynamics are key in a piano arrangement, and you definately pulled them off nicely.

Karl can't spare a single second teaching people how to play, he needs all his time to make more of these beautiful remixes.

I'd love to hear a nice long one of your piano remixes karl, but there was plenty in this to make up for its shortness.

Excellent arrangement, wonderful performance, good enough recording quality (aside from the hiss on the left). This is great. Chopin is my favorite composer, and this is definitely reminiscent of some of his waltzes.

I was really excited to hear this when I read about it on the judges decisions forum a day or two ago, and although I might have been even more impressed if it were styled after something like Fantasie-Impromptu or the Polonaise in A-flat, this is quite wonderful. I also hope to have a piano arrangement (or several) on this site eventually.

My hat's off to you, Bladiator. ^_^

Aww stop that, you guys, I'm blushing. :D

As an aside, this ended up being all in one take. The e-mail was written back when I did it on my keyboard, and then while it was in the submission process, I had time to go and get it recorded for real.

I also found out that the mics (specifically the left one) is going out in the recital hall I'm using to record in. I recently went back to record another piece and the recordings are unusable.
