+"Musique pour la tristesse de Xion" is approximately three minutes and fifty-eight seconds long, {{358}} and five minutes and thirty-five seconds long for the piano collections version. Regardless of the source, the entire piece has a time signature of 4/4 time. The original in-game version plays at a tempo of 55 beats per minute. The piano collections track takes more freedom with both the tempo and interpretation, though the common tempo is 50 beats per minute.
-<!--Second paragraph to do- musical analysis of piece. Notes: piece opens with drum roll and then leads into main section. Timpani provides heavy down beats.-->
+In the ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' version, the first fifteen measures of the piece are written in the key of G Minor and then transition into the key of Eb [E flat] Minor. The piece has a brief introduction of two measures, lasting around nine seconds, then leads into the repeated melodic section which lasts for twelve measures, and is followed by a transition into a new phrase that lasts for sixteen measures,<!--check this--> before repeating back to the first phrase, allowing for smooth transitions between loops. <!--Each loop is ____ measures long.--> The instrumentation for the original version and HD remake includes: piano, orchestral bells, synthesizer, and strings.

+In the piano collections version, the seventeen measures are in the key of C Minor. Beginning in measure eighteen the key switches to Ab [A flat] Major and lasts until measure thirty-two, then transitioning into the key of Gb [G flat] Major.<!--double check this-->The next section of the piano collections version contains a rendition of "[[Vector to the Heavens]]." Xion's original theme is revisited again though in measure sixty-eight and continues to till the end of the piece. This final appearance returns to the original key of C Minor.
+The piece is characterized by a moving eighth note pattern in the introduction in the treble clef part (in-game versions) or bass cleft (left hand, piano collections version). The main melody's rhythm is a trade off between a dotted quarter note and an eighth note, making the melody follow the rhythm of "1- and 3- and."<!--if we could get music notes added somehow...this would be easier to read/understand--> The piece is played in the lower spectrum of dynamics, with the only true "louder" section occurring during the "Vector to the Heavens" portion of the piano collections version.
