Blood On The Leaves

the notes in parenthesis is just walking down , totally optional but i like to throw it in . mostly the first part goes with the piano and the heavier part with the brass . dunno if it’s exactly right but it’s playable! really easy to simplify if you take out the c’s and the parenthesis but yep . revisions and edits very welcome .
