What is this piece?
on: August 17, 2008, 01:02:52 AM
Could somebody please identify this piece of music for me? It doesn't say the name of it in the video and I've never heard it before.

Working on:
Beethoven - Waldstein Sonata
Bach - C minor WTC I
Liszt - Liebestraume no. 3
Chopin - etude 25-12

Well I did some research, turns out the piece has three names: Red Scorpion, Sasoribi and Anti-Ares.

It was composed by someone named Jun Wakita, who uses the alias "Virkato Wakhmaninov" (clever, huh?) it was originally developed for a Japanese game called "Beatmania" that's sort of like Guitar Hero except you press buttons and use a turntable, but it's now a somewhat popular piece for piano solo.
