Hi Zach,

The piece you sent is for piano, although it seems like it might have been also arranged/performed by a large ensemble ("horns" are indicated at the beginning).

Anyway, I don't really play the piano; my instrument is the classical guitar, and this piece wouldn't be very easily played on guitar.

What I have done, though, is taken the files you sent me and entered the music into a notation software program called Sibelius--it's what I use to make my scores (sheet music). Then I used the Sibelius file to make three other versions of the piece; I'll explain here what I'm sending you:

.sib file: This is what I made in Sibelius, by looking at your images and copying in the notes. To open this file, you'll need Sibelius software or their free Scorch browser plugin. You can publish this on the internet if you want.

.mid file: You can use this file to make the FWQS your phone's ringtone, or you can throw this file into Garage Band and play with it that way.

.mp3 file: I used a pretty basic sampler called Kontakt by Native Instruments to make an mp3 of the piece. This might be most useful to you, as it's closest to what you asked for. It's not a real person performing, but it is a real piano being sampled and controlled by the Sibelius program. It sounds a lot better than MIDI.

I hope this helps!
