Nice work I guess..

Although the song doesn't really quite mix in between the animation Akorn would make usually, the epic-ness of the song really makes an exception for it.
Good work.

Hummmm

It's alright, as far as battle music goes I suggest you try a different medium, piano and normal drum kit just doesn't carry it. Some people can, this didn't quite work. Sorry. Reasons:
Notes weren't nearly smooth enough, nsaty pause at 0:07, and the second piano wasn't smooth, it was too choppy, the pauses too distinct. There isn't enough blending.
That backing paino needs way more work, it's slightly annoying with all those high notes, it clashes too much, now I know about disharmony, increasing by an octave etc but that didn't really work. It breaks up the flow.
If you want to do 3 different pianoes, the idea is to get them to either flow together and complement each other, or you do the much harder thing and have them playing in 3 different timesets and weave.
There was a decided lack of feel. Not enough depth or scope, also the variation was very limited.
THe drums are way too quiet and merely hold a backing place that doesn't really complement the piano, increase their volume and get a better beat, that one is far too generic.
The solo at 0:50 needs way more work, it jarrs and doesn't carry the song very well.
Lastly you need a more defined melody, this one sounds like a perpetual solo.

"I suggest you try a different medium, piano and normal drum kit just doesn't carry it." -The request was that I do it piano only, so I actually wasn't able to "choose" at all.

"Notes weren't nearly smooth enough, nsaty pause at 0:07" -can't hear a pause there.

"and the second piano wasn't smooth, it was too choppy, the pauses too distinct." - I agree, the last part from 1:39 has some bad timing but no the whole song.

"That backing paino needs way more work, it's slightly annoying with all those high notes, it clashes too much" -yeah, I know ppl who would agree there but I also know ppl who aren't annoyed by high notes. Guess it's different taste.

"If you want to do 3 different pianoes, the idea is to get them to either flow together and complement each other" -hmm..that was my intention.

"Not enough depth or scope, also the variation was very limited." -ok, let's see what we've got: 0:00-0:41 intro, 0:42-1:00 building climax, 1:01-1:18 bridge/kind of solo, 1:19-1:38 another climax, 1:39-1:57 bridge 2, 1:58-end outro. I'm happy with the variation of the song. don't know what I should change there, frankly.

"THe drums are way too quiet and merely hold a backing place that doesn't really complement the piano, increase their volume and get a better beat, that one is far too generic."- no, drums are fine as there are. if I make them louder it would put the piano into the background. Yeah, the beat could need some work. I'm not good at putting drumpatterns together =(. So, this time I've went with a basic beat.

"The solo at 0:50 needs way more work, it jarrs and doesn't carry the song very well." -well...zero123 for example liked it very much.

"Lastly you need a more defined melody, this one sounds like a perpetual solo."- I'll keep that in mind when I do another 2 or 3 piano song.

Well...that's it. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

Holy Moly!

PianoForte! You've have surely taken over the front page of classical!

Not that it a bad thing.

On to the song:
I thought you had done adding that light feel into the song as all battles need that lightness - and is very hard adding the right amount seeing as it is a battle. The begginning was somewhat dark - and felt more like a boss battle.
At 4:45 the chord change showed hope.
When the drums cut out it was a beautiful melody - then cut back to the song which was very well done.

My only bad point is that it does not loop perfectly - as I was hiping to use this!

Overall, as a battle theme is incredibly hard on just a piano and Drums - and you pulled it off very well!

well done

Awesomely Done

Glad I've chosen the right man for the job! This song is really something. Very unique if compared with the other song submitted here on NG.

And this one also brilliantly done with 3 pianos! I will finish the episode around mid-of September, the is the earliest I can go. Still got 18scenes to go!

GOOD JOB.
