kLuTz gives us another great, emotive solo piano arrangement, which at this point is almost expected BUT not taken for granted, and certainly enjoyed. Interestingly, most of the judges felt this was up to the ReMixer's own high standards but not necessarily above them, whereas Disco Dan in particular was more impressed than with previous kLuTz pieces: "I'm half way through it and so far all of the chords are right... and now this scherzo part. I think I may have an aneurism. I'm gonna play this back with some reverb, but I really dig the arrangement. And the performance is top notch. This is MILES above kLuTz's previous submissions in my opinion, as far as the arrangement goes. I personally would have liked to see some more intentional dissonance as I think that's highly appropriate in a piece in this genre, but for what it is, I think this will do." - I like all of kLuTz's flowing, human arrangements, but I can see where Dan might have singled this one out as being a bit stronger. The original lends itself so well to solo piano arrangement, which kLuTz does so well, it's just a great match-up. Not all originals are so conducive to solo piano, and when such pieces are arranged as such it's a testament to the arranger's skill, but it's just as well to begin with a piece that practically begged for a good ole 88-keys-o'-ivory rendition. kLuTz provides exactly that here with some excellent, ornate runs towards the end that might remind one of some of the soundtrack to The Piano; a comparison in my mind which is highly complimentary to the ReMixer. Recommended.
