If you listen and look carefully you can see I arrange the arrangement in many places. I typically do this (modify what has been arranged) because the arrangement writing is often awkward in spots, and honestly doesn't translate well to the piano in execution or sound.

My process in doing this is to listen A LOT to the orchestral (original) version, noticing what stands out to my ear. I then rewrite any passages as needed to come as close to the overall energy and affect as the original. I think you can tell what I change, especially if you play back at 1/2 speed. If you have any questions about particular passages please let me know.

This piece is so fun to play. I hope you try it and enjoy!
