So it is not all that unusual for a transcription or re arrangement to be more enjoyable than the original when the source material is sorta cool.

Thought it would be fun to have a thread tha showcases pieces that are cool to begin with, but hey just for fun show where a arrangement or reharmnonization or transcription or some combo thereof gives a great new spin on it.

Not sure if anyone likes this sort of stuff as much as i do, but who knows this could be fun for others as well.

Recall thinking how fun this thing looks and sounds

Cool duet 1p4h medley with the Chopin etudes. Makes for great encore and recital material....


Will post more later, i listen to a ton of this stuff but sometimes forget where i heard it..
