  4. My piano rendition of Summertime

    Although I'm sure some interesting piano adaptations of Summertime must exist, I got tired of the basic arrangement I had and decided to make my own more pianistic rendition of it.

    This version is basically a more developed piano accompaniment compared to the classic piano reduction, which is beautiful in its original version, with voice and orchestra but kind of dull on the piano. I wasn't looking for cool chord substitution, just a more exciting piano accomp.

    Thanks Dietz and William!

    William,

    Yes, it's my own arrangement. The original piano and voice reduction is pretty standard I believe, the basic chords with the melody, it's so beautiful with a sustained sound like the voice and strings, so I wanted to give more that sustain effect by flourishing the accompaniment.

    Of course the piano is Vienna Imperial.
