I put too much thought into this.

Before all else, I will establish that if Loona was a part of the world and their lives, Mariam would NOT know anything about it until Jin sat her down and forced her to watch every single one of the MVs in order. She'd bring out that fuckass mobius strip chart and everything. Jin's bias would probably change based on the weather, but I think she'd loop through Kim Lip, Yves, and Olivia Hye.

Haven't gotten that far honestly. It is very difficult, at least for me. My biggest weakness(besides my inability to sight read, which has hampered all song-learning for years) is learning a song where the left and right hand has to move independently from each other in some manner. I work very well with predictable rhythms and time signatures, but Larkin clearly doesn't want to do that. My hands naturally want to follow each other in a specific pattern. The songs I played as a kid I performed well because I always had difficulty reading notes, and my methods skewed heavily towards just memorizing the song like a reflex, to the point where if I got distracted in the middle of a piece, I'd be UNABLE to continue because my conscious mind doesn't keep the notes in there; at that point, playing a song is the equivalent to touch typing. My body just does it.

Widow is in 4/4 times(I think. I don't have the sheet in front of me due to being away from home) so theoretically that shouldn't be too difficult, but it being composed originally for a string quintet means this transcription is trying to integrate all the little flourishes into a single instrument played with two hands. My absolute favorite part of Widow is the post key-shift violin countermelody that is passed from the first and second violin and back to the first upon its conclusion. That's not easy to do when you're also trying to play...everything else.
