As someone who loved the original theme using soundblaster so much that I kept replaying the intro, I often have reservations against modern interpretations, but I really enjoyed this one. Thank you very much.
I have just been listening to the original and I must do a little critizising...
First I have to say, your diligent work has not been easy and I always respect those kind of private efforts! Second: you made it much to difficult for yourself - since this should be a piano-arrangement one must concede a great deal of accuracy BUT not in all compository points of view. Lacking the stereo you should lighten most of the octaves, double octaves in this score and should more concentrate on the lines..
..and also extend the dynamics and accidents. That may sound harsh from a stranger, but as musicologist I will always prefer the simple scores. So, you had some false notes in it, but they will not spoil the whole thing - its still awesome, but not a perfect transcription. If you allow, I will do my transcripts for a one-guitar arrangement upon this work of yours! This safes me much time, thank you and dont neglect your hobby:)
After reading my critical notes and having finished my guitar-arrangement as well, I have to make a final remark:
as non-pianist one should write his mind so openly like myself, that could have been understood as an arrogant critizism. I believe, that a real pianist (not finale-guy, haha) should do your arrangement for a good interpretation. At least: there will be only two kinds of music - the one you like and the other you dont! Thanks for answering me!
Monkey Island 2 had the marvellous Imuse-Sound, which made astonishing compositions whithin the choice of playing. I hope, the new Edition offers that too.
@Icaros03677 Jedes (!) vernünftige Notensetzprogramm kann die geschriebene Musik auch abspielen! (z.B.: Finale, Encore, lilipond... Es gibt seeeeehr viele)
Dude, you just made my day with this video!! Aside from the fact, that monkey island has the best damn soundtrack ever, this MI2 Intro is my favourite, and providing the link for the sheets as well...dude i love you! (not in a gay way :P)

Thanks for your suggestions. I know this arrangement is very difficult to play. I hope other arrangements are more satisfactory

It's a famous adventure game made in 1991 by LucasArts. Now there's a special edition with remastered music score.
