Post some pretty piano pieces here!

Even if you aren't a Touhou fan, I strongly insist that you listen to these, they're fantastic (it's all one piece, but split into four parts).

All of these are character stage/boss battle songs from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Perfect Cherry Blossom, Phantasmagoria of Flower View, and Mountain of Faith from the Project Touhou series.


Go go go~ be sure to say what each song comes from though!

Yes, it's in one of them, but it's combined with another song. You have to listen closely! All of the titles are on screen while playing, some in English as well. For example, the classic (well, classic to those who are into Touhou pairings :p) combination of Marisa and Alice's theme songs are in the third part, songs #21 and 22. He's playing both the choruses to Alice's song and Marisa's song at once at 0:35.

Song #10 is the second stage song in Perfect Cherry Blossom, and #35 is Chen's theme. It starts at 4:23 on part 3, starting with Ran's theme 'Necro-Fantasy'. Once the intro to that song goes into the chorus, Chen's theme 'Withered Leaf' plays its chorus at the exact same time. This happens at 4:48. It then fades into the end of 'Withered Leaf' then transitions to the stage 6 theme song to Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

This guy did a fantastic freaking job for Flandre's theme (#16) and transitioned so perfectly into Yukari's theme.

As much as I don't like to admit it, I love FFVII's soundtrack. It's the only redeeming factor that damn game gets in my eyes. :p

The FFVII Main Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn1Gx3-EdoY&feature=related&fmt=18) always has and always will be one of my favorite Final Fantasy songs of all time.

Any song from that game just blows my mind.

And just in my playing range(with a lot of practise).

Oh and thanks for the tip Roto, that song is within my abilities, and it really does sound awsome. I can't believe I never thought of it.

I sooooo want to hear a piano cover of Otyg's folk rock song that plays in El Tejado Verde/El Canon Diabolica/etc.

But uhhh, not many people would know what I'm talking about >_>
