I always loved the Nocturne/Montreaux Study piano piece from Gabriel Knight 3! You know the one: this one!
Since I first heard it I wanted to play it myself, but it always seemed to difficult. Not too difficult to play, actually, but to figure out what to play. I never was good at playing by ear. But I matured as a musician since then, and last summer I roughly transcribed the piece and now I brought the sheet music into a more polished form. Since it’s Christmas today, I thought it would be appropiate to share, for all the other people who would like to play it but might be too lazy to figure the notes out for themselves!
I didn’t bother much with specifying dynamics, which didn’t seem necessary anyway since you can always orient yourself at the recording.

But it’s ironic. Now that I finished the sheet music, I just found out that someone else already transcribed the piece, even the more frenetic arpeggio variation, which I never bothered with, because it seemed impossible to play with just two hands! But maybe you didn’t know about it either: here you can find some scores of Gabriel Knight music, including the Nocturne piece. The differences between my and the other transcription were at least somewhat intriguing to me.

I uploaded my score here. Enclosed in the archive is a PDF and the original project file, which can be opened in Sibelius, if you want to change the score for yourself!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Edit: Replaced link

Thanks for this! I’m always on the lookout for any game scores and this Nocturne is a really nice piece.

Edit: I’m not getting anything in the zip file.

You’re welcome!

Don’t seem to be getting anything either. It’s just a 0 byte file. Seems to be a recent issue with the file hoster. How annoying! For whatever reason I can’t attach it to this post either, because the file type is not allowed! Soo…I uploaded the archive somewhere else, to here. Seems to work now!

Too bad I can only play the guitar - this is one piece I’ve always wanted to be able to play

Well, thanks a lot for doing this, nevertheless! I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate it very much

Oh, I learned classical guitar when I was in music school, so I know how to read sheet music Just the two-hand noting is just too different… Though I didn’t even think about trying, just shrugged it off as not suitable for guitar (I suck at musical theory, so I’m not so good at changing the keys and stuff, I’m just used to the usual one).

And, of course, I figured overall that the piece is just not right for the guitar. I guess one might give it a go, though, even if I am sceptical how it would work (especially since I’m not a very masterful player).

Oh, and my fingernails are very long indeed People always used to be shocked by it, especially in school… (I don’t really play with a pick almost ever, even in the odd occasion when I might play a song that works with one (but I play more classical anyways))

Would it be all right if you reupload the music sheet? The link is dead, unfortunately. Many thanks.
