    This music was created electronically, so it was literally not meant for human hands.

      @@smonkk8556 Yes but it's not all one take, it's multiple layers of piano through different instruments or just different sections of piano. Creating electronic music almost always involves literal piano playing, but there's a difference between one person playing a full song with two hands, and one person playing numerous sections separately and combining them via electronic software

      @@smonkk8556 ....No??? no, it's not???? That's not how that works at all. What are you smoking? The song is designed with so many instruments and different sections that to play Toby Fox's exact version, it would take probably 2 pianists at LEAST, maybe even 3. You can restructure a more complicated song into less complicated sheet music for 2 hands which is what this person did.
      Unless youre being deliberately stupid to say that only certain melodies were designed to be played by hand individually, which is obviously true, but the original commenter was obviously talking about the song as a whole piece, not individual parts of the song by themselves.
      Also, please don't say "composersplaining" ever again lol that was the cringiest thing I've read in weeks and I'm a proponent of cringe culture being dead.

      @@CalamitousChivalry congratulations youve figured out that arrangements written for performance by multiple musicians (or rather one musician multiple times) can be simplified down to solos. would you like a medal for it?
      my main issue is basically with this weird culture of psuedofetishism with a totally achievable, if high skill level. this isnt some weird case of a CRAZY song being written that could NEVER be played by human hands and then some LEGEND just goes and does it. its someone who's pretty good at piano transcribing a piece down to a fast piano solo.
      its cool and skilled but i hate when people treat it like some ungodly achievement because it removes the act from the realm of just someone practicing and working hard to get good at something into being some wacky gift from the heavens. it devalues their commitment and turns it into something for someone to gawk at and never think about as an actual thing a regular-ass human taught themself to do
      the mere fact that it was individually written in with piano per segment would inherently make it playable by human hands as a solo piece, at most requiring some truncating and some parts being left to imagination / flubbed (as is pretty common)

    @KibasLilAngel The sheet music (which I also wrote) is how I now want the song to sound, several months after I recorded this video. Some little parts have changed like the bass octaves, and although I didn't put it in the sheet music for the sake of sticking close to the original piece, there is now accompaniment to the koto solo.
