Nola by Felix Arndt (video)

Nola by Felix Arndt was made famous by Liberace, if you lived around the time of his TV series (I did not) But I've watched the clips.  He varied from the score a lot! You can hear the ghost of the main theme only occasionally.

This is a straight reading note-wise but I've taken a different interpretation than most.  Let me know what you think.

Sounds very smooth, nice sound.  I guess you're doing the speed ups / slow downs on purpose but sometime they seem a bit out of place, but overall I like the dreamy interpretation of this piece which is typically played very straight.

Holy internet fakery, the above video, "Nola" by Felix Arndt has a copyright claim on it on YT.  Some music corporation in some foreign country (to usa) claims they own some the music, lol.  This piece was published  in 1915!  They probably lifted it, re-arranged it.  YT shouldn't allow every copyright claim to go through, it would only take 1 minute to realize it was ungrounded.
