Have to agree about the lyric. I've done this (I'm the pianist) with a violin soloist in place of the singer and I think it works pretty well that way--the piano accompaniment is a handful (the solo in the middle is marked something like "molto Mantovani") but it sounds great.
Maravilhoso!
Great tune, both melodically and harmonically -too bad the lyric is, frankly, inept. Duke should have gotten John LaTouche (or someone) to help.
