Hey, great to hear that Lydia

[@Sho_Jitsu]

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.

Thanks for listening.

[@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.

[@rupertaustin]

Many thanks for your enthusiastic comment. Glad you enjoyed it so much.

[@victornguyen8382]

I only recently came to enjoy this song. Apparently it wasn't very popular when first released at the time of the film and other songs from the soundtrack were initially more popular

[@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

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

Absolutely gorgeous arrangement! I especially love how sweet that variation at 3:10 works. Great job man!

[@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!

[@rupertaustin]

Thank you. Go on, give it a go!

[@itzelguerra2655]

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
