      All my covers are my own work and I don't steal other people's arrangements. I listened to the link you posted. It's a great cover and has similarities to mine because we both listened to the original and tried to copy the orchestral parts. If you listen properly, you'll notice 100's of differences, not to mention I covered the version with an extended ending which is something like 30 seconds longer.

    Been a while since I’ve watched those films, so this took me back a decade! Beautifully done again, the section from 0:51 must be my favourite as I can remember loving that motif, and the way you make it sound on the keys is marvellous.

    At 0:29 it should be F in bass then G and staying there whilst Ab in treble etc… I think you’re keeping C in bass throughout… maybe intentional but not as originally written by Williams. Now this doesn’t take away from the phenomenal performance on the whole. Rapid scales in both hands to play the wind parts and everything is very accurate and played at a very high standard. Well done! Best arrangement on UA-cam for solo piano absolutely without question.

      Hi Mark, thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Yes, I got those bass notes wrong, and someone else commented the same thing. It wasn't intentional - I guess I wasn't listening carefully enough for those bars. I've seen some of your videos over the years as well - appreciate the feedback from a fellow cover arranger!

    Meh, too focused on being flashy and trying to making it sound "epic" means he's missing putting the right emphasis and accent on the melodic line. Makes it sound like despite the fullness of sound he's going for, that there's still bits missing. Got bored after a minute.
