As he expressed:
11 pages later, the notes look so simple, yet the song sounds so complex! I'm still mesmerized at how you did all of it off the top of your head.

I'm not a proficient sheet music reader or writer but it looks accurate to me — interestingly, Thattagen's noted it as being in the key of G major, while I thought of it as being in a mode of D major. But that was many years ago and it's nice to have fresh eyes & ears on this work! And if you have suggestions, please tell us in the comments.
Backstory: "Xristospiano" is the piano version of "Xristosphan"…
which I openly mused to be an alternate reality collaboration between Aphex Twin and Robert Miles. Some jokesters took that too seriously and spread it around the Net as "RARE DUET". Curiously enough, a fine record label called Alternative Route picked this up with Luke Fair and Desyn Masiello's dancefloor remix…
where it served its purpose to get crowds dancing…
I love backstory. Hm, and that inspires me to make more music soon.

Ack! I just found two misplaced notes when I played it through from the sheet music! >.<
It's not too bad…an experienced player can pick them out pretty easily.
Who knows how many more errors are within?!
That's what revisions are for! Don't be hard on yourself — and thankyou again.
