...Question

Did he create my theme? My theme that was SUPPOSED to be before ZUN did?

Your refering to this right?

I don't think so. I think the placing of U.N.Owen to this song title was meant as a joke. From what I can gather, John Stumps "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz" is an overly complicated music peice that was written purposely to be unplayable.

Unless you can find a video of someone playing this peice that predates the release of EoSD, I wouldn't pay this idea much mind.

This thread BLOWS MY MIND into tiny, itty-bitty kitten pieces.

Whatever song came first, either way, GREAT piano work here.

Justice has been done this night!

Exactly. The song that you can hear on those videos of people who claim to be playing the Death Waltz doesn't match that musical sheet.

I remember reading somewhere than the Death Waltz is actually playable, just not by standard means. For example, somebody who played that on piano would need to have more than just two hands...

I know this discussion is old, but apprently the guy playing the piano has a youtube account. Check it out, lots of good touhou and other popular nico douga stuff played wonderfully on the piano. Here is also apprently the original arrange he was playing from. Hopefully this quells any lingering doubts about death waltz and U.N.Owen was her. In any case, check out this guys stuff, with fingers that fast i can't help but think he would be just as great playing the touhou games as he is playing their music.
