This arrangement is a concert-exclusive not on the NieR: Piano Journeys CD.
This is a very atmospheric and almost improvisatory arrangement of a nice theme from NieR: Automata. I've found that this arrangement sounds best with a very flexible sense of rubato and timing.
Composer: Keiichi Okabe
Arranger: Mariam Abounassr
I used sheets with the help of zakid here:
