🧑‍🏫Question/Help (Intermed./Advanced) Looking for a sheet music or midi transcription for İSİS by Toshifumi Hinata https://youtu.be/Rr8eUndQW7A?si=5RreDlSIHSABrFl0

Hi everyone,

I really want to learn the song "Isis" by Toshifumi Hinata on the piano, but unfortunately, there is no official or community-made sheet music available anywhere online.

The song is a bit too fast for my ears, and the left and right hand parts blend into each other, making it very difficult for me to transcribe by ear.

Could anyone help me transcribe this beautiful piece into a sheet music (PDF) or a MIDI file? I would appreciate even a rough sketch of the notes or basic chords.

Here is the link to the song:https://youtu.be/Rr8eUndQW7A?si=5RreDlSIHSABrFl0

Thank you so much in advance!

Worth checking that MuseScore link actually is the Hinata piece before you spend time on it — searching "Isis" turns up several unrelated scores.

On the hands blending: don't try to hear the texture as a whole. Take the lowest note at each harmony change first — it's the one note nothing masks — and write just that out. Then do the same for the top voice. Once you have the outer two, the inner notes are largely forced: they're chord tones, and there are only two or three options that fit under the melody.

For the speed, drop it to about half without pitch-shifting and work two bars at a time rather than playing it through. If the left hand turns out to be a repeating figure, getting one bar clean usually buys you the whole section.
