Hello.
So I would like to start a rather big project here involving the introduction of classical music to osu! It may appear at first that classical music is not so well suited to such a rhythm game, but I think it can be done and with great grace! Perhaps the greatest issues to address are:
Lack of modern standard beat.
Difficult to time properly due to rubato and tempo changes.
Copyright.
Duration length.
Choosing from an enormous library of music.
Be smart and extra thoughtful about hit sounds.
Spend some quality time in timing.
Use the free material provided by the Petrucci Library.
Don't use copyright music. Here is United States law for reference. I don't know how it is elsewhere.
Use abridgments or just pick short pieces.
Choose from the following list.
Here's a couple of ideas off the top of my head with more to come:
Beethoven - Symphony No.9, IV. "Ode to Joy"
Dvořák - Symphony No.9, "From the New World," IV. Allegro con fuoco
Mazart - "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" from Die Zauberflöte
Mozart - Twelve Variations on "Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman"
Rachmaninoff - Symphony No.2, III. Adagio ma non troppo
Stravinsky - Firebird Suite (either version), "Infernal Dance"
Stravinsky - Rite of Spring (obvious first choice for a rhythm game)
Tchaikovsky - Symphony No.6, "Pathétique," I. Adagio – Allegro non troppo
Also, I would like to have a banner for this. Would anyone like to do this? I would be very grateful.
Here's what I am talking about:
