This is me playing Paul Wittgenstein's one-handed arrangement of the famous Bach-Gounod Ave Maria.

Bravo! Beautifully done!  Is that your arrangement?
Now this is an example of how superior this is to any perfect "steinway D" electronically enhanced midi disc or whatever.

Thanks for watching!

And no, it's not my arrangement. It was arranged by Paul Wittgenstein, the famous left-handed pianist who lost his right arm during World War I.

I would practise it with non-legato/staccato in the accompany, and as legato as possible in the melody.
And make sure you don't "sit" on the beat, when there are chords in bottom.

Other than that it was very good :)
