Yaoyao: Purity of the Blossoming Osmanthus/Genshin Impact Character Demo Advanced Piano arrangement

by



I’m too exhausted from the recording as it took me 2 hours until mid night to finish the recording (kept failing the last section 80% of the time). Therefore, I invited Jasper Hu to write a brief description and thought about the arrangement.

‘The first obstacle in arrangement was the pre-chorus, where some EDM syncopation (classic Jpop 333322 rhythm) was employed to make a build-up, before a final drop at the beginning of the chorus. My first instinct was to throw away the syncopation and recreate the build-up with LH runs followed by RH runs, while the music expands and spans broader register bar after bar. Scott thought the idea was cool but he wanted to retain the syncopation, so he changed the run a bit and added an inner voice in the syncopated rhythm (that countermelody was inspired by Yunjin’s character demo music). In the chorus, Scott’s original idea was to fill the gaps between notes in the melody with semiquavers (similar to Layla’s character demo) but it didn’t sound well. Then he tried again to use repeated notes to fill the gap as he did in Yun Jin’s character demo. The problem was that semiquaver sounded too loose in this way, so Scott had to use semiquaver triplets. But performance-wise this brought a new difficulty, which is the polyrhythm between triplets in RH and the 333322 syncopation in LH. Fortunately Scott managed to get over all these technical challenges in one single take, and this video can be uploaded so quickly. Kudos to Scott!’

Difficulty 4.5/5 (The coordination difficulty in some parts is similar to Nilou’s Dance)
(The difficulty is only rated according to my OWN arrangements so people can know it before they tried to learn it. I set my hardest arrangements as 5/5 and the easist as 1/5. It doesn’t represent the difficulty of average piano arrangements on Youtube.)
