I shall, I'm not sure that it should be too hard, I mean its only really one hand and accordion left hand is as easy as pie. So I shall try to make something decent. I shouldnt like to dishonour such a marvelous piece of music

Thanks for the Sheet Music upload. As some other guy said it would be interesting to see what would happen if the instrument was changed. Therefore I might do an accordion cover.

Also, I love the playing instruction "Dwarvenly". Fits the piece quite well

That sounds wonderful, I look forward to that. I've bandied off an edited version to this ocremix site though I wouldn't be surprised if they rejected it. I don't know anything about remixing and I'm too poor to buy any of the software.

you should do the title song in this manner

.....

anyone with the know-how able to do a full orchestra version perhaps? Would it be possible?

Such magic, the DF theme is beautiful on piano. It reminds me a little of the works of Bach. Toady is such a masterful composer, I am in awe of he's talents. And that is not even beginning to sing praise for the pianist who realised such a piece, and with such amazing skill bought this dream of Industry and Booze into reality.

Happy now.

OMGGGG!!! THIS IS MADAFAKANGAMAZINGGGGG!!!!!!!@!$%
*Screams incomprehensibly in mind due to sheer awesomeness*

-ahem-

Excuse me for the extreme outburst of emotion.

This piece nearly made me cry too.
Just too beautiful for words.

It's also pretty interesting to see how things change when you speed up the tempo by 50% on audacity.
Makes the song quite a bit jumpier.

Wow, thank you. I'm listening to this again right now. There do seem to be a couple spots that don't quite work, but the vast majority is great.

The audio file is produced by a computer program, correct?

If any of you records a real life version of this arrangement played on a real piano, I would love to hear it, and it should definitely be posted on the forum.

Not that the existing files are not good - quite the contrary! But they (as computer generated instruments usually are) are lacking a bit in dynamics and expressiveness. A performance of this piece by a competent pianist would be a fantastic thing indeed.

I also really liked how you instructed the player to play "dwarvenly"  :)  Will have to give this a shot on my piano when I get home, it looks like a fun song to play.

So I was listening to all the midi tracks, and suddenly one comes up that was so full of win I instantly had to maximise my music player to know it's name.

'Tree killer', for the name, is mesmeric.

This is my next great project, my Megaproject. I've always wanted to learn how to play the dwarf fortress theme on piano, and now it's all here, I'll just have to reall buckle down and learn this. Once it's done and i can play is competantly I'll attempt to upload it.

I just finished learning Gerudo valley and end up playing that all day, so now i want to learn this!

E: arrrrgh!!! I just noticed the download link for the sheet music is a .rar file, and I absolutely hate .rar files, and can never get them to work not with 7zip or any other bogus.

Could someone please turn that into a normal file(whatever normal may be)? I really don't want to copy/paste the images into paint then print it :/

I laughed, sneered, and snickered at the same time.

I never bothered to learn sheet music, are there tabs (for guitar)?
