Eternal Sonata/Score Pieces

Throughout the world of Eternal Sonata, you'll come across not only Score Pieces, but people who want to play "sessions" with you. Play a Score Piece as accompaniment to their piece of music, and you'll get a ranking which, if it's high enough, will reward you with an item to help your journey. Each session player's music has a Score Piece that is its natural accompaniment, and vice versa—this is the only way to achieve an A rank; Score Pieces can also produce S or B ranks in certain sessions.

It is important to note that many of the score pieces and rewards can only be obtained in the second playthrough, marked here as 'Encore only'.

'Perhaps more importantly, on the second playthrough you must'' speak with the grandma in Baroque City Inn to hear a poem in Chapter 4, if you wish to obtain Score Piece 30 for the 100 Gamerpoint achievement "Score Piece Collector". If this is missed, the achievement cannot be obtained on that playthrough. '''
