This is a brilliant and quite resourceful arrangement! To me, it's a shame that the unique left hand rhythm of the original isn't better accentuated throughout the arrangement, even if it meant sacrificing the notes and intricacy of the right hand runs. But that's just one of the trade-offs one has to make when doing an arrangement like this :D
Yeahhhh, the hardest part was overcoming the gap that the original’s left hand part created 😭 I opted for something similar-ish to the Chopin-Godowsky Study on Op.10 No.4 instead 😅
A very ingenious transcription that reproduces the rhythm of the original. However, in terms of harmony, is had quite a lot of harmonic support jettisoned during the reduction, which, I guess, was a necessary sacrifice. You know what Godowsky did... right, write multiple transcriptions of the same piece so maybe one could create an alternate version with more focus on the strenous chords.
Omg, it's you!! Thank you so much :) I actually didn't know that Godowsky did that, but that sounds ingenious! If I had more time, I would surely do that too, but alas :( That being said, the more I listen to this arrangement, the less I like it. Perhaps I (or someone else) can use what's here and build upon it in more sonic ways.
Fire. Prelude 24 next !!
