Love Story meets Love Story (Taylor Swift Remix) -Jon Schmidt (cello: Steven Sharp Nelson)

carlosian2 is Jon's youtube channel. This arrangement exists because of a music clearance foul-up on my YouTube video, "Love Story meets Viva la Vida." Thinking clearances were properly handled, we were later dismayed to discover when you create a mash-up (aka derivative work) you need personal permissions from songwriters before it can be sold. Let's just say, getting in touch with rock stars is a lot harder than it sounds. Thinking of disappointing people was gut wrenching, to say the least. With that in mind, I never felt so helped with a song as I have with this one. From sound engineer Jake Bowen's miracle of assembling Steven Sharp Nelson's amazing cello brainstorms into something that made me weak at the knees to ideas that would just come out of the blue, this arrangement is something I absolutely could never have created on my own. It is cool to think of the second Love Story part being used in a wedding. I imagine the entrance of the flower girl...then the ring bearer...then the bride's maids...the bride...the groom in awe, getting teary-eyed...etc. Definitely one of the most fun songs for me to perform.

you are a wonderful pianist and composer, when I first heard Love Story meets Viva La Vida I could not believe something like this could be done with two simple themes.

love his compositions and no words can describe how much I am grateful to God for you there and be the instrument of inspiration in your hands

Please, continue the work that brings even more people from Heavenly Father. Sorry my English, I love you

Amazing, I really enjoyed Love Story meets Viva La Vida but this is just as great. I can't say which one I like more, they are both amazing.

Thank you so much for all these great music peaces.

the composition of this remix is immeasurable by words. I had to pause while I was studying because of how powerful the notes were blended into such a stunning composition; I surrendered to the chills that sprung throughout my body. Sincerely genius.

This brought tears to my eyes, it's just amazing how touched I feel from this. I think this is what I want playing at my wedding. <3 Please don't stop doing what you do. And hearing Love Story meets Viva La Vida ----you're a great father.

I hope Taylor Swift has seen this. :)

Oh hey, is there sheet music for cello and piano to this? Cuz that'd be AWESOME if I could learn it with my friend!
