This solo piano version is made for classically trained pianists!
You can get the beautifully written sheet music that includes also chord symbols, fingering, and sustain pedal markings at PopJazzKeys.com/Imagine

So I decided to write a piano arrangement of it that is tailored specifically towards pianists that are looking for challenging arrangements of famous pop songs notated in great detail.

Ustasın❤
Beautiful, simply beautiful ❤
Excellent examples, great explanation, really appreciated the focus on articulation
You really were spot on with this version of the song, totally caught the brazilian vibe. Only thing that could make it more brazilian is some football or caipirinha. I'll make sure to learn this. Bravo máquina 👏👏👌👌
THANK YOU! And what a great suggestion. I could have indeed put a photo of the Brazilian national soccer team in the background. ⚽
So good..thanks
I am so glad you like it!
Very informative and useful, detailed!
I really appreciate your comment! cheers!
Excellent bossa tutorial, buddy. Your comping style is very nice.
You made my day, Sir!
A really nice arrangement. Those rhythms would take me a while to sort out as I’m a classical player. But this arrangement is excellent.
I really appreciate your positive comment. I am just finishing up a video tutorial called "Authentic Bossa Nova Samba Piano Accompaniment Patterns & Exercises". I hope that helps. I will post it soon. So make sure you are subscribed to this channel.
❤Please do Set the night to music By Maxi Priest ❤
Great! Congratulations! 👏👏👏👏
😅😅😅 lesson please
Im Brazilian and you played really well. I like very much. Thanks for enjoying Brazilian music.
Thank you 🎉 from Wales 🏴
thank you 🎉 from turkey 🇹🇷
Hello dear, I just discovered your channel and what you do is really very good, thank you for it. You know, I wanted to ask you: How to replace the chords in tenths (eg: Eb g) for those of us who do not reach that type of tenths (Db - Eb - Bb - D - A). Thank you so much!
Very good questing about the 10ths in the left hand. I saw pianists with very small hands play them by using a combination pf rolling them up from the low to the high note while pressing the sustain pedal. Ind fact, this is an effect that some pianists with big hands even use to simulate a guitar strumming effect. I think I will do a video on this. Thanks for asking!
For me, is the same...favourite song! Thank you very much and BRAVO! ;-)
how are your hands this big 😂😂
Funny! My hands are actually quite normal in size for a guy who is close to 2 meters tall🤓. But this arrangement can easily be performed by someone with small hands. Several of my younger students did so without their small hands being an issue. I actually found that smaller hands can also be an advantage in piano playing. Bach and Chopin both had small hands, and they did ok🤪. CHEERS!
Very smooth 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
_Olha que coisa mais linda_
Question is the fabulous arrangement for sale? If so, how can I purchase it? Many Thanks. Bill G.
It actually is. The link is shown at the end of the video. Unfortunately youtube does not allow posting links in their comment section.
By the way, the link can also be found in the video description (right under the video)
Interesting 😊
I love the turnaround ending of the song.
I love it. Make sure to do a version for small hands

The link to the sheet music is missing on your site
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I added the link to the sheet music as soon as I read your message. Enjoy!
OMG! I have listened to so many other arrangements of this tune but yours is by far my favorite, and by far the only one that I'd be really willing to kill my self trying to learn. Thanks so much for this inspirational (albeit out of my league) version.
Thank you so much! You made my day. And please don't kill yourself over learning it. A quick tip: I offer free trial privat lessons if you need some guidance. You can sign up over at PopJazzKeys.com/lessons for that. Every time I had a lesson with a great teacher it added years to my life. Just an idea. Otherwise, happy practicing.
Thank you. I like to sing

Beautiful !
Nice
Nice present for Christmas. Thx and merry Christmas 🙏
Good, beautifully, шикарно!
Love the arrangement! Tastefully done.
Put the whole thing in swing and take out straight and it would be better
Well, this would completely negate the uniqueness of the arrangement, wouldn't it? We all have different taste and ideas. It is what makes arranging music so exiting. Please send me your version as soon as you have recorded it. I'd love to hear it! Cheers!
Sure. I just felt like doing something different. And I like it this way. Everyone's taste is different. Cheers!
