Valse di Fantastica 月華の円舞曲 | Final Fantasy XV Piano Collection | Happy Birthday to me and YUS5-chan!
Composer: Yoko Shimomura
Arranger: Sachiko Miyano
Hi there!
I hope you don't mind my MIA for more than one month, as I tried to take things slowly, hoping that learning this piece would be less painful that way. (Just kidding)
Honestly, I can't recall how many times I wanted to give up on this piece. The reason being it's pretty difficult to play it precisely throughout the three and a half minutes. Furthermore, I am not a waltz person since I started my piano journey; the dancing rhythm always makes me feel uncomfortable and unnatural.
However, I feel that I couldn't miss this.
A year ago, I had the privilege of attending a Final Fantasy concert conducted by the incredible Eric Roth. At the time, FFXV's music was unfamiliar territory for me. Then, the moment the SSO chamber musicians played "Valse di Fantastica," I was entranced. I can still vividly recall the magic of that first listen.
This piece was my gateway to the entire FFXV collection. While the game might not be as popular as some of its counterparts, its music is nothing short of extraordinary. All credit goes to the legendary composer, Yoko Shimomura.
If you are interested, be sure to check out the orchestration version from the original soundtrack:

Lastly, here's to a belated double celebration - a happy birthday to both myself and YUS5-chan! (Our birthdays fall just under two weeks apart)
Hope you will enjoy my performance! :)
