Verdegrand | Masashi Hamauzu - Five piano duets from "Piano Pieces SF2" (duet with daigoro789) @Verdegrand | Uploaded 13 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
These are five pieces for two pianos from "Piano Pieces [SF 2] ~ Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa FRONTIER 2~", a piano collection of music from SaGa Frontier 2, composed and arranged by Masashi Hamauzu, played by daigoro789 and myself. Please make sure to check his channel out - he has many more videos of Hamauzu's music, also some very rare ones, and he is also in the process of making full recordings of entire piano collections:

The pieces themselves were renamed for the piano album. In brackets are their original German titles and their English translations:
00:11 "γ" 1 (Außenwelt - Outside World)
03:03 "γ" 2 (Interludium - Intermission)
04:59 "γ +" 1 (Zufall - Coincidence)
07:17 "γ +" 2 (Heimatlose - The Homeless)
09:00 "γ +" 3 (Rückerinnerung - Flashback)
So here's a project that has been going on for about half a year and I must say that I'm happy to be a part of it. Piano duets of game music are still a rare thing. Even rarer was the album itself which was out of print for the longest time - very unfortunate because the only available sheets were found in the actual CD booklet, there was no sheet book that was seperately sold and thus the sheets themselves were also not to be found anywhere. Fortunately, we could acquire them nevertheless. In the meantime, there has actually been an official rerelease of the CD including the sheet booklet just last year.
I had to record my part for the the last piece on a different piano because the grand I can usually record on is broken (oh, the joys of long-term projects). Fortunately, I could find a somewhat half decent acoustic upright so we could avoid having a combination of acoustic and digital sounds.
I must thank daigoro789 for introducing me to Hamauzu's music. Through this project, I have developed a deep appreciation of it and I would wish to play more in the future.
