It's the 8th anniversary of Dust: An Elysian Tail, an indie Metroidvania/action RPG that took the world by storm. Behind the scenes, we've been hard at work on a Dust sheet music book for intermediate pianists! It's not out yet, but to celebrate the game's anniversary, we're releasing three preview tracks so you don't have to wait.

Notes from the arranger:
The feeling of "Abadis Forest" is one of constant momentum, syncopated rhythms, and thick layers. The rhythm and the piano octaves in the beginning will demand a lot of attention and strength from the player, but those are the parts that make the piece fun!

I did take some liberties with dynamics of the piece, places like mm. 33 and mm. 61, so the players' arms don't fall off! Let yourself get carried away with the groove, and don't be afraid to play fiercely!
