[White District] Composure

[notgordian]

Here's the page transcribed to letters...probably A minor (maybe C major, though, with my knowledge of music these days), so no sharps and flats unless they're marked. I'll update this with more as I do it. Takes a while, though (I played the cello, so know bass clef better)

If which octave matters, it's going to have to be retranscribed. Hopefully by someone else.

I can't hear music from reading notes, but someone outta midi that. I doubt it will sound nice at all, so I think it might be a different code written in note style (like maybe notes of varying pitch have different numerical values, and then it needs to be hexed/ascii'ed/base60'ed from there).
Curse updates on weekends when im not around!

Can we get this to add to the audiophile list, perhaps somebody can realy poorly whistle the tune while standing half a mile away from the mic inbetween several brick walls, then we can try and recognise the melody and find the composer just a thought

[Pied Piper]

Not so sure this is a modern piece actually. It sounds like it might be from a French or Japanese composer, which would be why it sounds a little odd to anyone who usually only listens to light classical. I'm going to see what I can find out about this one. Wish me luck.

Key of ?

If only i would have payed more attention in music class (SIGHS)

[Arkaham]

Ok, I just talked with my brother in law who can make some sense out of all the pretty dots on the pretty lines (yes, that is how much I know about music).

He says he's completely sure is not classical music and about 90% sure this is not a real melody. On the third line, second thingy between vertical lines (he did use technical names, but my memory is really bad) he said the white note should be black or it doesn't fit. Also the accents on the 9th line are backwards. And he also said there was no harmony. He even (after I insisted) played it on a guitar, and did not sound like anything you'd like to hear again.

I showed the pic to my friend who can play piano. According to him, if played on the piano, only the black keys are played (No white keys involved). And it makes no sense when played on the piano.

One thing worth a note here: If you open the piano and look inside it, each key has it's own number, from what he told me. He said he'd get back to me with the keys translated to numbers tomorrow. Hope it'll be helpful.

[notgordian]

It's the other way around--only the white keys are played.

There is one fairly famous piano key cipher where each key (using the numbering system your friend mentioned) is a letter in the alphabet--however, I have usually heard of that using the full range of keys (ie, the black keys too) so we'd be using sharps and flats for the "easy" key cipher.

[taureanfreak]

maybe the password is white then? but this is the third symphony and there a a queston mark by the name of the composer..... so maybe we are missing some notes (like the ones used for the black keys) and the password is the name of hte composer. That's all i've got right now, sorry.

[Pied Piper]

The notes don't measure out properly

[Wang Guantao]

The meassure arka is talking about is faulty. third line, second measure.
it has a half note and 2 quarter notes and 2 eigth notes in it. making a 5/4 time signature as oposed to the 4/4 of most everything else.

[Pied Piper]

This is not the full piece
