      I love when I see comments like yours, it means you understand the hard work behind this video 🙏🏽 my arrangements start always from the aim of trying to translate the original sound and atmosphere into a high level piano language, like in the 19th century many great pianists did, starting from the orchestral music. Metal bands are my orchestras, in this case!

    I just loved how you managed to put percussive parts where it was needed, and worked the left hand in a much more interesting way than just mimic bass/guitar. You put so much more classical music elements. I wish this will be a classical music piece in near future :D

Your arrangement really shows a deep understanding of "Dance of Eternity" in all of its musical instruments and their interaction, (not only keyboard); your genius to figure how to transcribe such complexity for piano, the technical skills and musicianship to perform it not to mention the different camera angles that were obviously carefully planned.
    You're a genius!

The ragtime solo was flawless, you even performed the bass solo (!), and sailed through all those time signature changes like nothing. My own piano covers (which I still have yet to upload) are heavily influenced by my classical training with RCM, and you set the bar ridiculously high for me. Well done!
