Harlequin (Piano: advanced version)

This is the advanced version of Harlequin, a piece of music I wrote for Homestuck. Excuse the quality, as it was recorded on a cellphone camera. You can read Homestuck at http://www.mspaintadventures.com

SHEET MUSIC: http://www.parsecproductions.net/music/Harlequin_adv.pdf

(Please bear in mind that I didn't do pedal markings, but essentially, just use the pedal on all regular notes, and lift the pedal up for any notes that have a staccato (which are most of them). I also couldn't really do a worthwhile key signature for this since there are a mixture of sharps and flats, so I spelled out all accidentals directly in the music instead.)

Hey, AgentParsec. I'm just curious, but did you do any music for Kid Radd?

[AgentParsec]

@Ledundeadv66 I did, actually. I sent in a theme song as a piece of fanmusic, then later sent in themes to go with the other characters from Radd's game. The author liked them enough that he asked me to do the music for the final comic, which I did.

Hey, nice work on Harlequin! I like a lot of the remixes of it, as well!

Since you're the one who wrote it, do you suppose you could provide a link to the Original Harlequin score, or even any of the remixes? I've been itching to work on some of these for a while, but I am not very good at working out music by ear in a timely fashion. D:

Pleeeeaase?

@Goatmon Sheet music is now in the link. Please read the note underneath the link for notation disclaimers.

Could you please post sheet music somewhere? Harlequin is one of my favorite tracks!

You are AN AMATEUR PIANIST. One day, after spending the majority of yoiur time reading HOMESTUCK, you find a composition that may possibly be within your LIMITED RANGE OF SKILL. What do you do?

>_ Humbly request sheet music to the amazing song.

You make a polite request for the ability to play some sweet tunage, whilst also complimenting the composer's skills and choice in home decor.

The bad quality actually makes it sound more like the version that's in Homestuck.

i.e., it makes it sound like a classic recording or similar.

This song makes me cry. And hearing someone play it, YES<3

[sofiv95]

I love you so much for making this song!

Thanks a lot for the sheet music :D

[LordLongshot]

Hey, mark, i made a comment on your DA account on "Train Hard, but it doesn't seem you go there anymore, so i'm just gonna post it here. :)

Well, due to its similarities with that song, and seeing you are a musician as well, i take it you are the same Mark J. Haldey that did that Strider Dance Remix on VGMusic. Nice job with both, and that dance mix, i remember listening to 8 years ago, so neat to see you are still around on the net, especially somewhere i know i could find you. :D

Sounds much better in 240p

[xBigJuliex]

Im close to playing it perfectlyish but , dude you hands must be wayy bigger then mind to reach a full octave my hands die trying to do that xD

[whalewithay]

i wish my left hand would cooperate instead of spazzing all over the piano : /

JEALOUS.

[Asteronoiks]

Oh gog. I can't play quarter notes in the second half of the song at all.

@24Kitsune Or perhaps they just didnt like it? They are entitled to thumbs down if they want. Youtube put it there for a reason.
