It's a bit like auto-tuning. Ouch! The expression 'careful what you wish for' is coming to mind here  But I jest, and to pick out just that one line of your very thorough analysis is of course spectacularly unfair  The thing that got me started on this topic in the first place was that none of those things were done with any sort of conscious intention to change its overall mood or feel. If anything, I tried to retain the mood with some 'blue' touches to most of the triad chords, but I guess that only took things so far. Maybe that's the next place to go in discussions like this, i.e. how to intentionally do these things, in either direction  And then, if you look again at my other two (re)arrangements, I think it's safe to say that both of those retained the mood of the original. One was in minor key, the other in major, so obviously that in on itself wasn't the deciding factor (I think), So I had to wonder where those nuances lay. Anyway, thank you for that valuable insight into the concept of 'what makes the mood of a piece', to which I myself could sadly only contribute so much. But it's been a delight - Cheers!

Hi Icelander, That's a nice arrangement. I also use classical themes now and then for writing songs. Do you know this one has also been arranged and turned into a song by Sinatra and Jobim, it's called "How insensitive" (or: When a love affair is over) This is the song: How insensitive Astrud Gilberto also sings it. Your song sounds a bit... how shall I say it...less sad, happy maybe. I'm one of those who don't like jazz, but do like classical music (amongst others), but this one is OK Regards, Anne-Marie

...And, BTW, you should definitely stick around on this forum... Ah, I see you spotted my reply to one of your own showcase earlier, the one I made while deep in the midst of my "not so special now, are you, princess!" complex Thanks for the sentiment but don't you worry. I think I've found my own 'niche' around here by now, as it were, so I'm not going anywhere - in fact, I can safely say: I'm only just getting started!

I myself quite like classical music, and my rendition of this one was perhaps not in the most 'purest' of jazz per se, which is one reason I was feeling confident about its 'general' appeal. My aim is always to please, not to put people off, heh. Glad you liked it enough to add to those positive comments, thanks for the gesture

My comments were just food for thought, that's all. And scrumptious nuggets they were indeed! To be clear - it wasn't a complaint about the music! But of course, goes without saying. And likewise 'to be clear', I only cut the subject off short to prevent the absolute killing of the frog Edit: Visited that song's link again myself just now, to my amazement it's got over a 100 views already  That may not seem that much to most of you who live in the 'big world' out there, but it's the most views I've had of anything I've submitted to the online world, ever!

Ice,
I really enjoyed this piece. Coincidently, I'm learning to play this prelude right now. I'm a big classical fan and this is one of my favorite Chopin pieces.
I believe the classical composers would appreciate the creativity your work shows and find it to be a tribute. Some of them were real Rock Stars of the their era just as progressive as technology would allow. On the other hand... you never know.
Any way thanks for sharing.

I could not have put it better myself (and thanks to you I don't have to)! A tribute was precisely what I had in mind here - And I'm pretty sure the modern Mozart would be 'digging' the smooth jazz groove
