A made slight changes on Chopin's 20th Prelude. Any thoughts and comments are welcome. Unfortunately I only have an electro piano available to play it.

Ouch, who gave Elton John artistic license on the Op28  :o

Lol, sorry Im being very rude. Playing wise this sounds great, nice one! Musically Im not so sure. I like the big block chords in this piece. To add the synchopated rhythm kind of ruins the effect.

But I cant critise you playing as it sounds very nice, well done!

Sorry, to my opinion its music rape.
Only thing you did was making it rythmic and extent the chords. Too easy.

I think we shouldn't compare this to the original Prelude No. 20. If you don't think of the original and just listen to dickreuter's recording, then I think this sounds very nice!... Good job.  :)

I like these controversial comments  :-)
Unfortunately I don't have a midi capable computer at the moment so there's no sheet music available of it. But I might buy some equipment soon. I'll let you know as soon as it is available on sheet music.
