Eternal Sonata

This is work compiled from http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Eternal_Sonata/Score_Pieces and Xobx360achievements.org and tweaked by my own work throughout the game. There are potential spoilers in this guide.

You can only acquire ALL the score pieces through Encore mode. Also, Eternal Sonata does not number your score pieces when you acquire them. Chances are that your score pieces are out of order. Strategywiki.org has pictures of each piece to match up with the following numbering.
