    Excellent arrangement and performance. I like how you are arranging and interpreting the music to be more pianistic than the original synthesizer arrangements. Your performance shows these pieces to be worthy of concert hall performance, and a part of the piano literature for posterity and future piano students who enjoy the games. I think even a concert audience who didn't know the games could enjoy listening to this medley.

    Pretty sure the HoMM1 Barbarian theme is perfect now. Great job especially on all the dynamics!!
    (In measure 173 - even though Romero doesn't play it - I think the piece becomes even better if you add an accented A3 in the right hand on the first beat. In the original piece you can hear it like that.)

    Thank you all for your lovely comments! I'm very proud of my transcriptions and happy that they're received so warmly.
    I'm currently working on the credits theme from Heroes VI, the last piece of the concert and hope I'll be done sometime next week.

    Came mostly for Tower theme as I've played only HoMM III. A bit over the top for my taste, but I like it overall. Just wish it had all the variations from the original. Now that I think about it, I might actually try and make my own arrangement of this theme... thanks for the inspiration I guess ;]

    As all your other works arrangement is done professionally and sheet music looks great! Thank you very much.
    Is there chance get MuseScore sources or you upload PDF only intentionally?

    • @xeenlol
      @xeenlol  8 лет назад +3

      Thank you for reminding me of that. I'm a huge MuseScore enthusiast (although only in private) and I really _should_ upload the sources. What's kept me until now is that the playback of my source files is *horrible* (I've just never really cared about it) and I wouldn't want to upload them in that state. I've just marked this down in my "to do"-list, but right now I've got work up to here (and not all of it is music related...), so it' might be a while until I upload them :(
      And thank you for your interest in my work! You support is much appreciated.

    • @romaninflianskas5617
      @romaninflianskas5617 8 лет назад

      +malte OK, got it. Sure, your new arrangements are more interesting than MuseScore sources, so I agree with your priorities :)

    Another excellent upload, I was looking for the Heroes I Barbarian sheet music. Thank you! I keep looking and finding more. I have to ask...is it possible to make a separation between songs more apparent? I know I should be able to read the sheet music (I'm brushing off a lot of rust) but I still think it would be very helpful instead of songs running together. Just a thought, thank you very much for your hard work and quality.

    • @xeenlol
      @xeenlol  7 лет назад +3

      In case of the sheet music for this piece, its actually pretty obvious: A thick capital roman letter together with a very thick double bar line. I admit that in sheet music I wrote after this one I only separate pieces with a usual double barline. I suggest you to watch the video, see where each piece ends and then mark your scores accordingly.
      The easiest way to find all my scores, by the way, is to click on my channel. With the exception of the duet and the Heroes 6 Medley, the entire concert has been transcribed (and I'm working on the Heroes 6 Medley).

    Hi Malte!
    As I previously wrote, you have done fantastic work and finally we can recreate those melodies and themes ourselves on piano. Although I've found some mistakes in your Medleys. There are some places where the harmony just isn't right (lack of sharps, etc.) Especially in Tower theme. I would be happy to help you correct them!

    • @xeenlol
      @xeenlol  8 лет назад +1

      Thank you, Michał. Right now, I've barely got time to make new videos, so doing a makeover of old scores is out of the question right now. My priority to move forward with the project.
      Shortly after uploading the video I updated the transcription. That version has a lot more thirds and sixths in it. Maybe that what you meant? Anyways, maybe you should redownload the score.
      Best wishes, Malte

    • @michabylina9991
      @michabylina9991 8 лет назад +1

      Hi Malte!
      Thanks for responding. I truly understand you, of course, but I still think it would be fantastic to have a flawless version of the best HoM&M themes according to me and even Paul Romero. I mean Barbarian and Tower.
      I downloaded earlier the present version so this is not the point. Just some errors in harmony, accidentally mistaken pitches.
      If this pleases you, send me the musescore file and I can make the corrections. I would be happy to make it still better.
      Yours,
      Michał

    • @xeenlol
      @xeenlol  8 лет назад

      Dear Michał, I promise to notify you as soon as I've uploaded the Musescore file. It may be a while... I hope you're not going anywhere! :) Best wishes, Malte

    Your performace is splendid however I cant figure out, how barbarian theme suppose to be tower theme?

    • @xeenlol
      @xeenlol  7 лет назад

      Thanks for the compliment! But, pardon me, I don't understand your question...

    • @titusmage
      @titusmage 7 лет назад +1

      The last piece you play is Barbarian theme from HoMaM I, so I think, this has nothing to
      do with Tower, so the "Tower medley" title of your vid is little bit
      misleading. But I think, the missunderstanding comes from the word "tower" by which you mean castles, am I right?

    • @xeenlol
      @xeenlol  7 лет назад +2

      I just thought that Haven/Tower/Barbarian was too long a title. Since most people like H3 the most, I called it Tower Medley. Also, all the three pieces have very similar chord progressions. I guess that's why PAR put them into one medley.
      I have another video that's called "Stronghold Medley". That one also contains a piece from H5.
      Anyways, thanks for commenting!

    But in my opinion, it would be better, if we could also see the running hands over the keyboard ;-)
