My Favorite Things - Insanely Difficult or not? Jazz Piano Cover with Sheet Music by Jacob Koller

  • How hard a piece is doesn't really matter how good it is. When I arrange a piece I don't actually think about making it difficult. I just make the sound I want to hear which happens to be difficult. However, when making sheet music for others to play it is helpful to categorize it. So I'm curious to hear what you think about this. Advanced, insanely difficult, intermediate, I could play it with one hand tied behind my back? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
    This arrangement is in my new book "Jazz Piano Standards"!
    The English version is available worldwide(excluding Japan) as a physical book.

    I'm right handed. So I put my left hand behind my back to see if I could play the song. It really wasn't that hard. I was also able to pause it and replay it - all with that same hand behind my back. I bet with a little practice I could hit that play button using only my left hand.

      Ah kids today! In my era we had to wind the gramophone by hand, & carefully place the needle onto a groove. Replacing the disc was definitely a two hand operation. It certainly kept us fit, & obesity levels were much lower than today as a result.

    I searched high and low for the book featured on his website, but the English version seems to be sold out permanently. The Japanese site doesn't ship internationally, and this song is not available for PDF download. Luckily, I have a nephew working in Japan who was able to purchase it for me! I'm pleased to find out that the transcription is an accurate note-for-note representation of the original. This is my favorite arrangement so far. Before discovering this, Joey Alexander's version was my favorite. I would classify this arrangement as advanced. 👍👏Thanks for sharing your genius talent with the world, Jacob Koller!

    What an awesome arrangement! I guess I would rank it as advanced, just shy of insanely difficult. (At least I hope it turns out that way when I start working on it. ;) ) I love how you switch between 3/4 and 7/4 time. That's so cool! And I dig section K, where the left hand gets his own solo! Just like a bass player. Another thing I enjoy is all the rhythmic variety. It makes it so interesting. Like occasionally there's the dotted 1/8s in the 3/4 section, which makes it sound like 4 beats instead of 3. Thanks for posting this video!
