Updated 3/6/2015 - Added some low woodwinds, and took out the snares for the pickup phrase, to make it sound more like the original version

Update 3/20/2015 - Re EQ'ed

For the music that plays before you obtain the instrument, the original version starts out softly because of the sound effects, then when it loops back you hear the instrument. Because of the timing, I always assumed that Nintendo designed it so the music is softer because you're outside the chamber of the instrument. I always liked that so I bumped up the reverb to the track to sound like it's coming from the other room while you're still in the boss chamber.

Update 3/20/2015 - Re EQ'ed

I admit that the extra iterations I tried out are way too intense compared to the mischief of the original version. Chalk this up to another learning experience. I was picturing how the cave would look like with remastered graphics, how Nintendo might make the environment more atmospheric and immersive. I had the idea that enemies would lurk in the shadows as Link slowly makes his way through the caves. As he progresses, the situation intensifies as monsters ambush him, until the larger foes spring their trap on him.

Anyways, like Dungeon Passageways, you can cut up the phrases and use only a select amount for each cave, depending on its size, layout, to best fit the mood. A semi-modular design for the cues.

Update 3/20/2015 - adjusted the EQ on the piano, fixed some of the tempo so it sounds smoother.

This is highly experimental. As a pianist turned composer, I was looking forward to a piano-centric piece to do. The articulations I settled on using are in many cases too fast for me to play, but if you are a world renown pianist, feel free to have fun with it. Nevertheless I thought it was important to preserve as much of the "performance" as I could, so for parts too hard for me, I would play the left and right hand parts separately, and in other cases, I would record the midi notes at slightly slower tempo then speed it up. A lot of the rhythms and riffs came from previous piano pieces I enjoyed playing and are far superior to this track. Check these out.

La Campanella "Little Bell" - Franz List (for the crazy high note trills)
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 - Franz List (for the insane single note repetition)
Grande Valse Brillante in Eb Major - Frederick Chopin (for the repetetive notes leading to arppegios)
Polanaise in Ab Major - Frederick Chopin (the octave ostanatos that will destroy your left arm)

My interpretation is accomplished by creating three main versions of the original track. I imagine as the bottle level, there might be a factory somewhere or massive warehouse to deal with all the bottles coming in and out. That's where the orchestral middle section would fit. The beginning pure piano translation would be used for rooms and areas surrounding it. The final piano cadenza section was where I went crazy and just added whatever came to mind. Remember that one room where you're supposed to kill the enemies in a certain order? During my very first playthrough I was stuck in that room for weeks before I figured it out. The piano cadenza in some ways portrays the frustration I felt.

Update 3/20/2015 - Re EQ'ed

This is a combination of an English horn and a sampled conch shell. The conch shell sample I got was way too wet, so I added the English horn on top for expression.
