Thank you! I was beginning to think everyone hates the piece and no one listened/watched.
Appreciate your taking time to watch and comment. Hope you liked it, she's a talented arragner,

she even did one of the arrangements for Jeffrey Biegel's Steinway & Sons Christmas release from not too long ago.... (Biegel is super talented and one of my favorite modern/living artists, I love the lit he chooses to perform/record).
fyi also by Lienhard (her style can be spicer but generally it's pretty mild, but man she has some juice dissonances, lots of diminished 9th, etc)
