Hi
Very well played, but just a thought? Have you considered retaining more of the original rhythm? With the repeated arpeggios in the left hand, the swing from the original is lost, and I miss that.
It would be like adapting the Entertainer to the style of Chopin, IMHO... both pleasurable but Joplin's original intent would be lost.

Thanks Dogperson for the comment, I see what you mean and it is true that I have removed some of the rythm of the original (especially some bass) to "classicalize" a bit which I enjoy doing in some of my covers. It may not fit Stevie Wonder's style but more my style of playing. thanks again for checking.
