Thank you for having this - though difficult to play I love this piece of music and never get tired of working withit.

Overall, this is a pretty good arrangement of this piece for a level 5 or 6 student. Some of the key changes and section changes are a bit strange, but it tries to keep the continuity of the piece more or less.

Some changes were made from the original without reason, such as changes in tempo, omissions of key measures and cords which could have been retained while maintaining the difficulty level. I bought the original and adapted this version to increase the richness of the adaptation. Good beginning point but not excellent as a standalone version.

This version of Phapsody In Blue is wonderful. I was away from the piano for 54 yrs, have been playing again for 9 months and never imagined I'd be able to play at this level again. The arrangement is good and I recommend it for any intermediate player.

I like it. I can play it but I don't know if I consider myself a late intermediate more like intermediate.
