Special Thanks for PSLCL for advice on the MIDI. The 2nd half may sound a bit odd however

This is one of Wiilly's ancient unpublished transcriptions, now polished up by PSLCL with me fixing the note inaccuracies. As usual with me, I try to make a MIDI sequence of whatever transcription I post, which proves to be quite challenging with this one. Aojiru loves a big sound, and it is very apparent with his use of the lowest note in the piano, A0. It was quite difficult maintaining clarity with all the wash of sound caused by the A0, but I managed to make it work!
However, Aojiru didn't just stop at using A0, he uses Ab0(!!) in measure 112-13, 120-21, and 128-136. I realized this after comparing my own MIDI performance with Aojiru's Original Audio. This makes the piece impossible to play on a typical piano; you need an Imperial Bosendorfer in order to play this piece as intended LOL. Fortunately, Garritan CFX has all 8 octaves sampled, allowing me to use Ab0 for my MIDI. You will able to hear this piece in all of its rumbly glory
That said, the later half was really hard to transcribe cause of how blurry it is, so I mostly left it unchanged from Wiilly's original. If there are any inaccuracies let me know and I'll fix it
I hope you enjoy this transcription!
