Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni - Dear You (Piano Improvisation)

Happy Birthday, Jeff!

Like me, you share a passion for learning how to play piano, and you seem to enjoy playing songs from anime a lot. Dear you is a nice song from Higurashi that you played for me once, and I liked the simple chord progression. I thought hey, this could work with a lot of melodies! so I decided to try improvising off of the chord structure. I played the same four chords for the left hand (although I made some mistakes and played off tempo a lot) and improvised most of the right hand part, mostly with single notes. It's a bit sloppy, I slow down a lot when I try to play triplets or think too much about the next note, but I hope you enjoy it anyways. How are your piano lessons going? Maybe you can ask your teacher to start teaching you how to improvise! If you want, we probably can try doing a duet during the next family party or something, too. Anyways, happy birthday, and I hope to see you when I have time to play DotA again!

Notes: The camera lagged a bit in the beginning, so there's no video for the first second. I tried to integrate some jazz-ish sounding stuff starting around 4:15, I think it might be what I liked most from this improv. I should probably try improvising off this chord structure again, but use a less repetitive pattern for the left hand and play a more complex melody with the right. Probably after much more practice.

Omgee i Love it Can u send me the notes?

[Acuity1024]

Thanks, but sorry, this was improvisation - or in other words, made up as I played. If you want to find the original though, it shouldn't be hard to get the sheet music for that.
