Yes, it's Liberace's arrangement but it's also similar to Eddie Duchin's arrangement of Chopsticks which I think you can hear in the movie The Eddie Duchin Story.
I doubt very much that a published copy exists. Cheers....
This arrangement is very close to the way Eddie Duchin used to play Chopsticks. Eddie Duchin was a great influnece on the young Liberace after his classical studies.
I'm going to suggest that here it's just an improvisation based on the initial Chopsticks melody.
What I found fascinating about Liberace was that in his Vegas and Palm Springs homes there were no evidence of any music scores or books about music and none of his arrangements could be found in manuscript or printed form. No scores of Chopin and the like either. His dear friend Vince Fronza told me he had a photographic memory. There'll never be another like him!
I couldn't stop staring at those rings! Holy moly. Great version of Chopsticks.

This looks like the "Mirror Image" of a Baldwin Concert Grand Piano. :0 ) Not to mention an incredibly talented Liberace !

Hey, Is this Liberaces arrangement? If so did he ever publish it? What's it called, if you know?
Is there a published version out there that's like this?
Thank you =}

A bit of that is from one of Beethovens pieces, I cannot remember the name, when I do I'll tell you :)
