m68030 Posted June 1, 2002 Posted June 1, 2002 Mega Man 'Cut Man Sonata' Gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. I love this remix. It's a wonderful arrangement. It might not be a strict sonata, but it's still an excellent piano track. Quote
tetsusan Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 Of course it's not a sonata, and I'm sure McVaffe knows it better than any of us. But it's as charming as any piano song I know, and listening to it one may well think MM1 soundtrack has been composed by Nobuo Uematsu. What a great arrangement! Quote
Mazedude Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 Now now, if you study classical literature, you will see that the term "Sonata" not only refers to a form based on recurring themes and development, but also to an actual style as well. While this doesn't follow A section, B section, development, recapitulation, and all those rules (that tend to make songs too damn LONG in my opinion), it does in fact capture the essence and quality of a sonata style, even when compared mildly to classical pieces of centuries past. Don't know why I felt the need to write that; perhaps to make it seem like I learned all that crap in college for an actual reason, heh. -Mazedude http://listen.to/mazedude And yes, I too commend McVaffe on a nice tune. I can play it on the piano too, did ya know that? Ask McVaffe, I was hanging out with him in NY the other day. Good stuff. Quote
SithProbe Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 This is a smooth sounding remix. Very nice sounding. Download it. Quote
Cpt_Zach Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 This has to be the best remix on this site. Probably because all the other remixes of Megaman are techno. I know that they are cool, but this song is ............................. pretty. Really good moving piano piece. There is a lot of extra harmony and chords added into this song that make it sound like an old-school classical piano piece, like Moonlight sonata or something. This is excellent! Much respect. Hell, I wish I could play that on the piano! Quote
AlwaysAlone Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 Amazing. Astouding. It makes me want to take piano lessons again. There's nothing that I like better than a good quality Piano solo, and this is one. This one will be a top mix on my list for years. 11/10 Quote
TheWired Posted August 24, 2002 Posted August 24, 2002 megaman .. piano ... another thing i thought was impossible, and was prooved wrong on sight. MCV brings us another one of those tracks that blows people away with creativity. DJP resumes everything quite nicely here .. Cutman's sonata is an amazing piano mix .. that makes me wonder if they shuold someday make a megaman piano Soundtrack ? Quote
ecco Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 this is a great peice! Never would i think that it would be possible but i was glad to see that i am wrong that piano could do so well with Mega Man! Very relaxing and well done. I love cut man's song and this just makes me enjoy it that much more! It is a must have! 8/10 Quote
JackOfDiamonds Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Wow, nice work. Is there any way I can get the music? Quote
Ryuko Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Beautiful. There's not even words I can think of to describe it. How you envisioned this from the original CutMan theme is something I can't even comprehend. Amazing work. Quote
Domukaz Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 I could barely tell it was Cutman until it picked up in tempo, but it has emotional power on par with the Trial theme ReMix from Chrono Trigger . McVaffe once again proves his place in the OCR elite with this excellent piece. Quote
Shael Riley Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 I just DLed this track again after reformatting my hard drive and I have to say that even after three plus years of age, this is still one of the best arrangements on the site. Thank you, McVaffe. Quote
illumina Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 I concur, this track is really great. Great translation from the game, I can't believe you were able to turn it into a successful piano piece, great job. Quote
NeoSparda Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 Absolutely stunning! McVaffe is a genius when it comes to piano works!! This variation on Cutman's theme is just simply awesome! No other way to describe it! 5 Smileys! Great Song! Quote
Ashgad Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 This is probably my very favorite song on the site. The arrangement and performance are both simply amazing. Who would've guessed that Megaman would sound so good in piano? And so natural? I've been known to leave this playing for hours on end. And you know what? It still sounds awesome. Great work, McVaffe. Quote
ziwtra Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 I've always loved the beauty of this piece, but just now I took the time to listen to a couple of other renditions of the original as MIDIs (I've never actually heard the original theme). Wow! Bif! Pow! Boy did McVaffe turn a chunk of coal into a diamond : ) yh Quote
Corporal Eschebone Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Did McV do this on an actual piano or an electric one? Well, doesn't matter, either way this ReMix is great. 90% Quote
zircon Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 Minimal, but very enjoyable to listen to. The arrangement is not terribly deep, but it sounds very good, and the top notch playing (or samples/effects, I don't know) compliment it well. I've been playing this myself for the past few weeks (not the original theme, but this remix) and I've gotten some compliments on it- to which, of course, I respond that I didn't make it up or arrange it or anything. Definitly good stuff, 9/10. Quote
Tiberiansam Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Once and again, McVaffe prove that he's really THE LORD of the piano arrangements! I'm starting to think that he can actually take any piece of music and turn it in a piano masterpiece! It's so beautiful that it's pulling me a tear! Great work from McVaffe Beethoven! Quote
jessthemullet Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 whoah. This an awesome arrangement. I've heard the cutman theme many a time, but this is one of the best renditions I've ever heard. Powerful music by McVaffe. Quote
Axe Canabrava Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I really like this. Amazing. it deserves... Three smileys, a Cool award and an arrow! Quote
Quintesson Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Tell me... Is there any SHEET MUSIC available for this!? I love the work put into this one! Quote
Lord_Syruss_Khalai Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Ok, I had to create an account for this one. I love remixes, and piano ones are probably my favorite. But they seem rather difficult to come by. Anyways... I play piano, as I'm sure so to do some of you, and I have to say that I really appreciate this song. If i close my eyes, I can literally see one of my instructors playing this. It's so well done. This is beautiful work. Congradulations. As well, if there were to be sheet music of this, I would also be interested. Thank you. ~Lord Syruss Khalai Quote
Krendall Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Very nice job. It makes me picture a scene where Megaman's feeling down and almost unwilling to go on or something. Just has a really nice melancholy feel to it. Quote
Jabberbox Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 lol it sounds like music that would pley if cutman fell in love (lol I can imagine cutman in a tux dancing the waltz, HMM.) Quote
