“The Conflict Of The Mind Sheet Music”

I doubled note values to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.

Remember that the notation system was not intended to represent the sound of modern pop music with its layered vocal, computer-generated sounds, and inflections of modern electronic instruments. My piano sheet music can only show you the score within the boundaries of the twelve-note scale and a metered rhythm; alas, the pitch and rhythm have little to do with the aesthetic value of the track. Listen to the song before practicing to fully imitate the beauty of the song: its timbre, phrasing, inflections. Play the song, not sheet music. Sing a phrase before playing it on your keyboard.

Imitate the vocal delivery by AURORA or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is rhythmic but with pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly.

A predominant vocal style is staccato. In the outro there is the second voice. You can omit playing it.

"The Conflict Of The Mind" is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice "The Conflict Of The Mind" slowly along with the recording.

To keep listeners attention, the chorus was made to be the loudest part of the song. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.+

A single vocal line accompanied by an ambient harmony constitutes the entire musical texture. "The Conflict Of The Mind" has a semi-improvised, loosely organized and wandering melody and homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part lacks its own melody.

"The Conflict Of The Mind" is transcribed in the original key, C Major, and uses one progression of basic major and minor chords C Am Dm G throughout.

The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of simple stepwise motion and "Imagine"'s melody.
