Khachaturian: Adagio from Spartacus (arr. piano)

My piano arrangement of "Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia" from the ballet Spartacus (Spartak) by Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978). I started this arrangement maybe 20 years ago and picked it up again recently to finish it. I cut out a portion of the middle exposition in order to hasten completion.

This guy's transcription is more impressive:

I know that piece! I thought Carter Burwell wrote it for the Hudsucker Proxy soundtrack! Shows what I know... Very nice, though!!

Great job, Sparky! You performed this very well. And yes, Matthew Cameron's arrangement is quite good and you can get his actual piano transcription from Hal Leonard or Music Forte, Inc. It is listed as item # 50486875 Piano Solo - Adagio Spartacus PNO Khachaturian. Reasonably priced, too! Also, I think that note at 2:26 and 2:39 should be a G and not F# (or Gb). That arp. should be major and not minor. But that's what my ears tell me.
