Thanks to all the composers for putting in their best efforts. Here are some of my notes on each:
Level 2 (Noah): The chords you chose were beautiful. You said you were aiming for level 1, but somehow you managed to make an absolutely gorgeous rendition with just a few notes.
Level 3 (Bat): I love the left hand accompaniment here, it's perfect for this melody and honestly I couldn't have written this level better myself.
Level 4 (Jess): This was such an interesting clave rhythm, but it works very well in creating this groovy vibe, contrapuntal harmony that creates an entirely new atmosphere for this song.
Level 5 (Spikes): Absolutely love how you wrote the left hand here, it plays off the melody gorgeously and adds color to all the right places. Since you wrote a full cover, I'll aim to do the full version someday on my covers channel :)
Level 6 (Zulaski): I know you mentioned you didn't feel particularly inspired, but your part was very fun to play, and the LH quintuplets over RH triplets created a swingy, ambling feel which I enjoyed immensely
Level 7 (Michael Shen): Epic! I particularly enjoyed how the right hand echoed its own melody throughout, and of course the left hand had its own counter melodies, excellent arrangement.
Level 8 (Reymarvin): Now we're talking my style lol. This galloping, adventurous rendition was an absolute delight to play.
Level 9 (Rron): You nearly turned Faded into an etude, with a dancelike conversation between the two hands, like a flamenco or salsa dance. This was one of the most interesting takes on Faded I've ever seen, and this was the level I spent the most amount of time practicing.
Level 10 (Fawful): Where to begin... you changed nearly everything about the harmony, using jazzy sharp 11th and 6/9 chords, creating particularly crunchy chords and arpeggios that made me scratch my head "the heck is going on here?" After you explained your thinking to me, I started loving everything about this level, the 12/8 meter, the leaps in the left hand, the sevenths, 9ths, 11ths, counterpoints, and syncopation, all on top of an epic melodic variation. Excellent, artistic work.
