Hey dude! Can you like write the lyrics of the song to this arrangement!? Please? I <3 this song and you are pretty good! :) Write back on my wall or in a message! Thanks!
You are phenomenal. I'm using this to help for an upcoming audition, but in all honestly I don't think my accompanist will be half as great. Thank you so much!
You know, Stephen Schwartz (the composer of Pippin) actually played the beginning and end faster than the rest of the song so.... ya. And I actually like that the octaves switched sometimes. It added differerent depths for the different emotions in the piece. I agree, though; it is very well done. GREAT Job!
Awesome!!!! I accompanied this piece for my spring chorus concert, and it took me FOREVER to learn.... I had a slightly different arrangement though, done by Teena Chinn.
You are amazing and i think i love you. i've been trying to perfect this song on the piano myself, it sounds so much different when someone else plays it. you're fabulous.
Thanks for posting this! I'm a big wanna be singer and this accompaniment has give me the perfect opportunity to torture my wife with my wanna be broadway voice.
I love this song! You make it look so easy to play. I too play piano, and I only wish my short fingers would move across this keys like yours. You play beautifully.
that was fantastic! i love singing with just accompaniments instead of along with somebody else singing (unless it's a harmony) but that brightened my day a little =] thanks.
WOW! This was fantastic. I LOVED singing to your accompaniment...your feeling for this piece matches mine so well. Wish you lived near me so we could try other songs. Thanks so much for sharing...you really made my day.
AMAZING PLAYING! BEST VERSION I HAVE HEARD! just to let you know, your video helped me get ready for an audition for a music scholarship for college and i won it =) THANK YOU!!!!!!
Ouch! ;) Probably not but I'm not sure - how many did you count?! There's one scored between the intro and the first verse, and the one I've owned up to in my blurb coming into the third verse. Thanks for you comment Pettra - I look forward to watching your first upload to see how the pro's do it! :)
hey i sung the song to it(thanks mr es76) and loved it thanks your TOTALY acompanying me to singing and id like to see mister nit picky acompany me... YOU PUT THE SONG UP PETTRA seeing as your dispencing stuff from on high lol

The Question I have are you playing Accompaniment or are you playing Melody ?

Nice. A couple of things: you start too fast, you're right about a few bad notes, try to keep things in the same octave. But it's very well done.
