heartwarming internet aecdote of the day:
a million years ago on overclocked remix, someone posted a really lovely piano arrangement of a piece from the original Fire Emblem game
and it sounded so epic to my adolescent ear that i dove into the forums to beg the arranger to send me the sheet music so i could learn to play it
they DID have the sheet music, and sent it my way, and i still have the janky little .tiff files today
tragically, i never learned to play more than a few pages of the piece. it gets... REALLY tricky near the end...
but when i was googling the other day, i found out (1) i'm not the only one who asked the guy for the sheet music, (2) there is ONE MAD LAD out there who DID learn the entire piece and performed it for their senior-year-of-high-school recital
the entire comment section there is incredibly heartwarming. here is an excerpt:
