"The Godfather" Movie Main Theme

Ever since I watched the classical trilogy I'm in love with this soundtrack. And now, many years later I recorded it with a new piano set up. I would like to know your opinions on it. Much Love Guus

I'm going to say this as nice as I can, but you've posted on this forum 13 times, and 11 times were to show off your YouTube videos.

This is a community, where we're meant to help contribute to others questions and queries. It isn't a place that you can just dump all your videos and hope it will bolster your view count on YouTube... we've had PLENTY of them here before.

I'm not going to comment until you maybe start contributing a little more to the forum.

Sorry, but your arrangement is pretty unimaginative and banal.

Also, a LOT of your chords are wrong, and the attempt to use chords in the lower octaves of the piano do not work at all, and those improvisatory type arpeggios are WAY TOO overdone and trying to use them between phrases is so cliche... and doesn't actually help linking the passages together.

He hasn't been on since he posted that, so I suspect he's just farming for YouTube views.

I won't be participating/viewing any more of his videos from now on.
