    This made me so relaxed
    I felt calm and ready to conquer this game
    And then I got crushed by the ice block

    Another thing is that the end of prologue is just like the beginning of reach for the summit.

      It's part of Madeline's motif which goes without saying, I'd think

      But instead of that dissonant note at 1:30 the summit changed it into a more determined note that resolves back into itself
      The music of the summit is amazing and I can’t wait for it to be covered

    I love how the sound of the dampening pedal hitting the floor is used as it’s own instrument.

      I dunno about being it's own instrument. But it certainly adds a feeling of loneliness and ambience to the piece

      @@Thoughtesque in this piece it acts as a bit of percussion where little is present (if you don’t count the piano itself as a percussion instrument). It has a snare-like sound to it. In other pieces where it is much harder to hear and is pressed less often I feel like it’s main intent isn’t as an instrument, but it feels different in this piece

      @@justjamminjazzy Technically, a piano falls into a category known as a "chromatic instrument" chromatic instruments include harpsichords, xylophones, vibraphones, marimbas, etc. I didn't think of the dampening pedal as percussion and I was focused more on tuned instruments. No matter what, it gives a new feeling of depth and care to the song.

      @@Thoughtesque huh, I never knew that. I’ve just been used to people arguing if it was a stringed or percussive instrument. Love this series on Celestes music btw. Most people just say it’s made of of leitmotifs and leave it there

    I don't know why but the introduction of the dash mechanic is enhanced by the single note at the end and I love it.
