Touhou Remix (Piano): Septette for the Dead Princess

Title: There was a Piano in the Scarlet Devil Mansion? Arrangement: Dean Nguyen Source: Touhou Piano Project 東方 (https://deannguyen.bandcamp.com/album...) Origin: Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (Touhou 6) Artist: Yoshioka Yoshiko Image: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/786... This is a remix that visualizes a scene: The mistress of the mansion at her piano, not performing as much as causally practicing, but still taking the opportunity to show off her skills to the other residents. The piece takes unexpected turns without feeling sporadic, as the player strays from the theme without leaving it behind, so as to return with better form. Piano solo arrangements can be tricky, since the temptation of simple transcription has few consequences compared to most other types of remixes. It's such a diverse instrument, but remains simple in that diversity. Pieces like this showcase what is possible with the piano when the artist is willing to risk a bit more.
