thenameisgsarci - 'Valse fantastique for niqqi' - 2023 revision (sheet music + Synthesia)

Dear niqqi, I actually intended to ask you for the motif way back so that I am able to present the finished piece to you on your birthday, but being busy with the previous projects and the obvious fact that I didn't know when your birthday is until you said it in another previous livestream that I was unable to fit the project until recently. (Don't worry, it's fine. XD) Also, I intended the piece to be calming to fit your VTuber persona, but I suddenly got lost in the process, and ended up with a much more grandiose product. Also contributing to that is the stress I got from trying to squeeze more creativity out of my brain and staying way up beyond my sleep hours, which I hope my office will not notice with the tardiness record I notoriously have. I swear, I felt like I have never composed something so serious for a very long time, and I felt proud of it, but on the other hand, I worry if it sounds "too dense" to your liking. That said, as your loving fan, I hope you like this, and that this is worth the wait. Imagine yourself as a ballerina dancing to this, calm in the beginning with small outbursts of power in the middle, then getting crazier and frenzier as the piece concludes until fainted due to exhaustion at the hit of the last note.

The piece starts off calm, starting off with the motif provided ("C - D - G - Ab - Bb") with a C minor bassline. It develops to an E-flat major phrase using the same motif, concluding with cadenza-like passages as the C minor theme returns. The B section comes in at a slower pace than the previous first section, this time in C major and using a different melody; here, the development becomes virtuouso-like, heavy with chords and passages spanning almost the entire length of the piano, until returning to the beginning of the section. The A section returns in its entirety, but suddenly takes a new direction as the motif seems cliffhangered until a D-flat major/G major sequence is introduced and the cadenza-like runs commence with much more power. The piece suddenly goes quiet, as the coda is being introduced, with low C octaves supporting the motif until a redevelopment of the theme in the B section appears, the difficulty increasing with each measure. Downward octaves, and then a wave-like run upwards the piano seem to conclude the piece in entirety, until the motif appears once more, followed by the D-flat major/G major sequence, and more C major chords throughout the piano length follow. One more quick appearance of the motif comes up until the music cuts short by low C octaves.

Those accidentals and enharmonic spellings are a bit dubious…
Might be nice to have some more detail in the next one? Dynamics, phrase markings, articulation etc.
