Quest for The Elusive Scoresheet

Mozart's piano Sonata in D Major (k448) for four hands/two pianos.


I heard this beautiful masterpiece in Ouran High School Host Club. It was love at first... erm, sound. Then again it haunted me in Nodame Cantabile. That was when I decided Fate did truly want us together... Thus, The Quest for The Elusive Scoresheet began.

I, lacking Internet access at home, sought to complete my quest through the aid of my uni's computers. They've helped me in matters like this before; why not now too, right? Heh. Little did I know, The Battle At One's Computer Lab Against Stupid Uni's Policies That Consider Viewing Scoresheets Illegal For No Particular Reason had quietly unfolded. Why they consider it illegal is beyond me. Hello? As if I'm going to distribute copies of the sheet to the world with my name superimposed where Mozart's had been. Hello? It's for personal use. I want to play the piece for me, myself and I.


Grrrr. fine. Have it your way.

So I decided to try and leech off a friend's Internet access (with due permission). And there, I faced The Unending Trial of Waiting & Waiting & Waiting & Waiting & Waiting & Waiting & Waiting For The Bloody Page To Load And Having to Scream Silently When It Gets Stuck At 80%.


I was getting pissed. Is this what they call the cruel hand of Fate? Well, Fate; I am not amused.


I WILL OBTAIN THIS PIECE. SO THERE.


With that in mind, I delved into the deep, jumbled, unorganised music shelves in bookstores. That attempt is shudderingly remembered as The Mind-Numbing, Eye-tearing, Neck-Aching, Time-Consuming Expedition Into Uncharted, Unstable Bookshelves. I was desperate enough to willingly buy any decently-prized musicbook which holds The Elusive Scoresheet. If the said musicbook is out of my league, I'd drool all over it so no one else will want to buy it and so they'd have to slash the price and it'll be mine. Bwahahahahaha.

.....Hmm.
.........Hmmmph.
.........................WT-FREAKIN-H??!!!?!

I went to MPH.
I went to Borders, Malaysia.
I went to Popular.
I went to Kinokuniya.
I went to Borders, Singapore.

It remained freakinbloodytootin'-elusive. D:)

But I WILL NOT GIVE UP! I AM A SURVIVOR! >:(

And so The Quest continues........ After the break. =p
