I have simplified the whole thing to make it possible to play on guitar. The piece is a frantic, doom-laden thing in 4/4 time-very enjoyable to play. For the first 24 bars, it consists of 16 semi-quavers (16th notes). The piece must be played at a fairly fast tempo, although I suppose it's open to interpretation. After bar 25, there's series of long runs, some of which contain hemisemidemiquavers (if that's what they're called). This part takes a bit of practise to be able to play at full speed. I've tried to replicate that sound of the fingers flying up and down the piano in long arpeggios. It's the best I oculd do. Anyway-any improvements or corrections would be appreciated.
