It has been a while since my last YouTube upload and I basically took a break from all social media since August 2019. The truth is: I was having health issues and therefore I couldn&#8217;t work on any piano covers for months.<br \/>\nBut fortunately, I have recovered and I started to practice the piano regularly again since last week.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the long pause, I almost forgot how to arrange piano music. Therefore I started from the scratch: I began practicing classical piano pieces again from the baroque to the late romantic era, in order to &#8220;get my feeling for piano music back&#8221;, as well as trying to recover my dexterity of both of my hands.<\/p>\n<p>The result is this classical-style arrangement of the Opening song from the Fall 2017 Anime Series &#8220;Mahoutsukai no Yome.&#8221; (\u9b54\u6cd5\u4f7f\u3044\u306e\u5ac1 or The Ancient Magus&#8217; Bride)<\/p>\n<p>I am particularly fond of Chopin&#8217;s piano compositions and you can clearly hear his influence in this particular piano arrangement. Chromatic runs, &#8220;fake notes in scales&#8221;, utilizing double notes in fast runs, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest challenge was that Key change from E minor to Eb minor after the 1st chorus (01:42 &#8211; 02:00). I don&#8217;t really like key changes without any transitions and therefore I created an alternative cadenza from E minor to Eb minor within 8 bars. <\/p>\n<p>Since the original song abruptly ends around 04:52, I decided to &#8220;complete&#8221; the melody phrase by adding a new Coda at the end.<br \/>\nThe Coda contains musical elements from both the chorus and the bridge (03:36 &#8211; 03:57), in order to deliver a concluding finale.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike my usual &#8220;original endings&#8221;, this coda turned out unusually pessimistic. Perhaps&#8230; because of my experience in the last month.<br \/>\nI just want to say, I am still thankful, that I can continue playing the piano and I hope I can continue doing this as long as I can.<\/p>\n<p>Well then.<br \/>\nThank you everyone for still visiting my YouTube channel despite the super infrequent uploads. I always appreciate your comments, because they always give me the energy and motivation to strive for better arrangements.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know when my next upload on YouTube is going to be, but I will continue doing my best.<\/p>\n<p>Also one more thing: A number of fans have asked about sheet availability: A solution is on the way, please be patient for the time being!<br \/>\nThank you for your understanding.<\/p>\n<p>I really missed you guys. <\/p>\n<p>Animenz<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<br \/>\nMy facebook page:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Animenz<br \/>\nFollow me on Twitter!<br \/>\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"770\" data-height=\"1000\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Animenzzz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tweets by Animenzzz<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nI am using Instagram as well!<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/animenz_official\/<br \/>\n&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<br \/>\nPiano arrangement by Animenz<\/p>\n<p>Original Song: HERE (TV Anime Opening Theme)<br \/>\nAnime: Mahoutsukai no Yome \/ \u9b54\u6cd5\u4f7f\u3044\u306e\u5ac1 \/ The Ancient Magus&#8217; Bride<br \/>\nPublished by: FlyingDog<br \/>\nComposed by: Yusuke Shirato<br \/>\nPerformed by: JUNNA<\/p>\n<p>#MahoutsukainoYome #HERE #Piano<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheet music is available now! https:\/\/www.mymusicsheet.com\/animenzzz\/41472 Good evening, everyone.
