That smooth "My Prince Will Come" lick at 4:06!!

[@rupertaustin]

Hey, that is an interesting thing you spotted there. That little quote was not done consciously, but Some Day My Prince Will Come is a song I worked on a lot prior to writing this arrangement, so I guess it was at the back of my mind / fingers.

[@rupertaustin]

Many thanks!

[@bennettlimbaga2908]

Those are 16th notes for future reference

[@davidfryer9359]

Measures 74-99 make me feel like I crashed a cocktail party in heaven and heard something I was not meant to hear--A composition by G-d being played by G-d! It was indeed a sacred experience we all the angels gathered around HIS piano and sang the lyrics. Yes….only I can hear them! I did die and I went to Heaven hearing this song. In fact that’s where I am right now. Thanks for giving my soul flight. If but a moment.

This is sooo beautiful! Absolutely thrilled to learn this ❤️

[@rupertaustin]

Great to hear that!

[@BarnardoP]

This arrangement is the sheet music you should use if like me you’re a pianist who can read well, but needs a solo transcription and isn’t trained as a chord following jazz musician (Though the chord symbols are here too if you appreciate that!) The whole arrangement is very good, musically accurate both harmonically and texturally; with considered fingering throughout. Well worth learning and ending your google search for this amazing song right here! The audio here is a clear tutorial though it sounds like the basic audio output from the scoring software.. there is much potential for your own performance to be enlivened by musical phrasing, dynamic swing and expression!

[@rupertaustin]

Thanks for your supportive comment!

[@ConTejasMusic]

[@danielchaves9664]

Rupert, I've heard this rendition for the last month, I purchased the score and I'm looking forward to play it. I must say measure 93 is my favorite part: the way those G and A notes are missing, but get complemented by the harmonics of the bass F and G just left me speechless. You are my favorite piano channel on this website, thank you for this

[@rupertaustin]

Many thanks - glad you enjoyed it. I took a look at your channel, and congratulations on your recording of Paul De Schlözer's etude in Ab - fine job. I once read an interview with Stephen Hough who said it was the most difficult piece he had ever learnt. I'm guessing you are familiar with his wonderful CD "The Piano Album" which contains his recording of Paul De Schlözer's etude and many other delightful rarities. If not, then give it a listen.

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

@@rupertaustin thank you! It was pretty challenging but in my opinion there are other pieces much harder than this etude. Of course I know Stephen's album and his recording of the etude. One of my favorite pianists!

That was wonderful, with a touch of jazz, new age, classicism. The last few bars give a strong impression of Rachmaninoff harmony.

[@rupertaustin]

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I love some of Rachmaninoff's harmonies over pedal points and I very much had that in mind in the coda. This one from Symphonic Dances is my favourite: long pedal point over D flat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWtnplppd6VZ6c
