Rupert - I joined youtube just to say how much I’ve enjoyed playing your arrangements - they’re accessible, really well written and sound fantastic. I’m not a jazz pianist - I’m terrible at improvisation - but having these classics properly scored has been a wonderful find for me and a great gateway into jazz, so Thank you. I’ve recorded a fair few of yours for my soundcloud so if you fancy hearing a fairly average classical Piano teacher butchering your material, do hit me up. Do More please. And why can I find nothing about you online other than on UA-cam?! Sort that out!
Hi Will, great to hear you have been enjoying playing some of my arrangements. I have looked you up on SoundCloud, and apart from hearing your lovely playing of some of my arrangements, I discovered that we have very similar taste in the classical repertoire. Lots of Debussy, Chopin, Scarlatti and Poulenc, and a conspicuous absence of Beethoven. If you added in more of Grieg's Lyric Pieces our tastes would be nearly identical. And great to hear three of my absolute favourites in there: Rachmaninoff's G# minor prelude and Novelettes 1 and 3 by Poulenc. I have previously considered posting the 3rd Novelette on my channel as I think it should be more widely known, and it has harmonic touches (e.g. altered dominant chords) similar to many jazz standards. Finally I thank you for introducing me to that super piece by Poulenc called Melancolie. It is gorgeous and I shall learn it when I have time.
Thanks for listening and replying, Rupert - it sounds like we do have similar tastes - it’s anything French for me really - Faure, Ravel, Debussy, Poulenc etc! I’m glad you singled out Melancolie - if I were only allowed to play one score for the rest of my days it would be that one.
Really touched that you liked My recordings of your arrangements. I finished this very Gershwin one today too and uploaded it - so it’s there if you fancy.
(And no - I’ve never gone big on Beethoven either!)
Keep doing what you do - and thanks again.
(Also - if you do learn Melancolie - send me the recording please - would love to hear your interpretation!)
@@willwest4736 I listened to your Summertime at SoundCloud. Good job - the highly syncopated upbeat section is tricky indeed. I uploaded a new arrangement yesterday: Pure Imagination. Look that one up and see if it is to your taste.
Thanks for listening - it’s the toughest one I’ve tried of yours by a fair way I think, and a mile away from my comfort zone of classical! Your pure imagination arrangement is an absolute stunner, and my other half has already printed off and presented me with the score - demanding that I do it immediately! I’ll let you know when I’ve got my fingers round that bonkers middle section (the Dreamy rising octave movements in that bit - with the switch/replace thing from finger 5 to 1 as you climb the keyboard - reminds me a lot of the technique required for a Gottschalk one I totally butchered recently - also similar to some of the techniques required for Liszt - I think it’ll take me a fair while to nail - especially attempting to make the melodic line sing in the left and not sound stilted whilst flying around all over the shop in the right - monstrous stuff!)
I have now downloaded about a half-dozen of your arrangements (you're amazing). I took classical and jazz piano decades ago...but never became so nimble with the chord progressions that I could do what you are doing. And so well paid too. THANK you for the FREE downloads! You made my Easter....and made me miss my parents less. THANK you so much. Just stunningly gorgeous arrangements--especially this one. Also, love your arrngmt of "Somewhere over the Rainbow"--my Kansas Mom's fave... Pamela (NYC and Seattle).
Good to hear you are having fun playing them 👍
@bill Bloggs Thank you so much!! (Now, I have to practice...) You & Rupert are extrermely generous..
Finally an arrangement that actually sounds jazzy
It has a romantic and nostalgic touch in this rendition, loving it!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for listening!
Very cool...thank you so much for the great shares Rupert. Great playing and transcription. Cheers!
Love your easy, relaxed style with gorgeous chords.
Я пишу по-русски... благодарю за возможность сыграть самостоятельно такую блестящую композицию. Это просто блаженство!!🎶❤️🙋
Nice arrangement. Sounds like the "The Edge" theme by Jerry Goldsmith played during the end credits by a jazz trio.
Nice to hear beautifully scored jazz but still sounding spontaneous.
Thanks for the compliment!
I feel a lot of warmth & lightness to the piece, & warmth is not usually an adjective I put first in a jazzy version of this type of work. I’ve heard this piece done simplistically (nothing wrong with that) as well as on the opposing side, played w/great ability including probably a great deal of improv (done very well given his young age). You seem to fit in that nice pocket of ability and feeling. Not everyone can combine the two. Played quite nicely🎹👏🏼!
Love your arrangements. Simple and effective. Just what Im pursuing
влюблена в ваши аранжировки!
If I had to describe your work with one word, it would be "astonishing"
Very cool - thanks for sharing!
Took me a week exercising every day to play up to bar 34, but then I'm stuck. I think it will take half a year, but finally, I'll play this beautiful arrangement. Thank you so much for this and for the sheet.
Good to hear you like it and are practising playing it.
@@rupertaustin this arrgement was INTENSE!! Thank you!!!
Please do Pure Imagination! I love your Arrangements and am learning them now! I play classically so these are giving me Life! Keep on doing your thing!
Lovely to hear that you are working on playing my arrangements yourself. Glad you enjoy them.
this is a gold vein of youtube
I like that you added a few bluesy lines (at least in the first half) to dirty up all this pretty jazz a little bit
Thanks for you comment, and thanks for listening!
Lovely. Thanks

Super :)
Thanks for listening!

Thx for this. I hate when the arrangement is too difficult to play. This is a perfect combination between the result and the difficulties.
Nice comment. I try to make the arrangements sound good but be approachable for people who want to try playing themselves.
@@rupertaustin Yes - they are accessible to an intermediate student. But I also love and appreciate that you include a lot of interesting embellishments. (Your knowledge and experience definitely show...and your GENEROSITY!) Merci!
@bill Bloggs Not sure where I am on the scale. (As a teenager--decades ago--I was playing Chopin's most difficult etudes...and some jazz.) Now, as a tax attorney, I rarely have time to practice. I do think music helped me be a better tax attorney. Question: I would like to get a good weighted 88 keyboard to put on top of a radiator in my NY area pre-war apartment. Do not want to spend more than about $1600. Want the most realistic feel. Suggestions? I hate shopping. Wish I could get really good acoustic grand, but I live on the 5th floor...and there's not adequate room. Roland, Yamaha, Casio. Looking for most realistic FEEL...and decent sound. Do not need all the bells & whistles--just earphones (and bluetooth would be nice...) Pam
GENIAL.AQUI EXCELENTE MUSICA.CON MUY BUENOS ARREGLOS.CONGRATULATIONS.

Bro you're a fucking monster my god. Thanks for this. This is straight fiyYya!!!! you're so creative and clever. Keep it up my G!
Thank you, Mr. Austin.
How kind of you.
My brother has a printer. Maybe he will know what to do with the link you sent.
I have always loved Autumn Leaves. I wish you had an arrangement of Autumn Leaves somewhat similar to your arrangement of Summertime. I love the ballads.
I second this.
Muchas Gracias !
very good! great!
Mil gracias
I meant "so well played." I hope you are well paid as well...
Such class!!!!! Well done! I have joined your little clan.
very beautiful, full of invention
Many thanks!
Nice cool !
That's really great!
Thanks! Download worked fine.
Simply beautiful.
Thank you!
Just...thank you!!!
Possible reference to Take Five at mm. 28-29? I dig it
Hi Rupert I've uploaded this on my channel . I should really do more takes and practice better but it takes too much time . Hope you don't mind my bad versions lol
Thanks very much for your compositions though I've enjoyed trying them out
Good to hear you have enjoyed working on them. Summertime is certainly one of the more difficult ones!
I love this arrangement so much.
Is there any way to print it?
I can’t find a print link - on my iPhone.
Thank you, Mr.Austin.
Glad you like it. There is a link to the pdf folder within the video details section, but here it is again if that helps:
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UQaKrxDWIf4gVQRfZVWF4iBFGW5WtFPI
Outstanding work! :)
These arrangements are top notch, and are pretty much what has gotten me into the world of jazz piano, does anyone know where I could find accompaniment via maybe iReal pro, the base one doesn’t really fit.
Glad you are liking them and playing them for yourself.
✨
thanks a lot
Is this cool or what!? George would be jealous and honoured I'm sure.
gut
Thank you very much for pdf
I like and love the arrangements... Where can I get the score..I wanna buy it
Glad you enjoyed it. You can get the score from SheetMusicPlus website: tinyurl.com/ycdbv4wp
Why won't it load past 10 seconds?
What a super heartfelt arrangement. Nice one. ⭐️👍 If you want to hear a super unusual fresh take on Summertime, I just posted my own arrangement. 💃🏻🕺🏻🤷🏻♂️
I am not able to download the pdf. When I click on the link (google drive etc) it takes me to piano arrangements, however not able to find music using the search function.
I just checked and the link is fine. There are only about 16 files in there so you should not have to use search function. They should just appear as a short list
Es posible conseguir sus partituras para uso personal? Gracias, tienen muy buenos arreglos. Saludos desde Barcelona
Gracias. El puntaje de Summertime acaba de publicarse en línea hoy. He agregado un enlace en la descripción del video
I really want to have your sheet but I can't found it. Can you give many sheet to my email or sites? (I'm Korean.)
Hi. Link to sheet is under video description. Here it is again:
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UQaKrxDWIf4gVQRfZVWF4iBFGW5WtFPI
This is lovely. Where is sheet music of your arrangements available?
Due to copyright complaints I can no longer freely distribute the sheet music. Sheet music is now available from a music publisher who deals with the copyright payments to the owners of the original song. New link is within video description.
@@rupertaustin noo bro screw them complaints
Keith Jarret style?
I hear more Bill Evans influence. . .
Started absolutely beautifully. Why speed up and depart from the heavenly chords?
Then it wouldn’t be jazz.
Hi my friend! If I send a MIDI to you, would you kindly render it in your DAW, using American Grand, and send the WAV file to me?
Sample Line send it to me and i’ll do that
Super👍🎼🎹❤️🪷
Я так конечно не сыграю, но мне как слушателю в вашей игре не хватает ритма и свинга, хочется добавить ударные и бас, чтоб помочь вам. Нужна так поставить свою игру, чтоб вся ритм секция была в ваших руках.
Millenials all be like, "Hey, I thought this was Lana?!"
Metronome
I think the speeding up that happened at some point was deliberate. . .
Not jazz sounding.
Incredible, innit?
rhythmically inconsistent once the swing part came. work on that. you rush way too much .
Why the need to be rude? Criticism can be polite too :)
Thank you!!
