ROUNDABOUT for solo piano

[stephen dijoseph]

https://fb.watch/jIP1GMBtcu/ My intent was to create an arrangement of 'Roundabout' for a solo instrument that other fellow YES fans would find fresh, interesting and above all satisfyingly "relevant" to the original melodies while making it an effective solo interpretation. So far no complaints ; ) Love to hear whatever you think

Hey!

Very nice!

I love that you strayed from attempting a note-perfect cover. Most Yes covers, to me, are structured as close as possible to the original, with the same tempos and instrumental arrangements. And it seems that Yes fans praise and encourage faithful remakes. Meanwhile Yes themselves never did anything close to that on LP (“America,” “I See You,” “No Opportunity Necessary,” etc.)—preferring to play the songs of others in the style of Yes.

Thanks for posting this, and I, for one, would love to hear more.

When Wakey or Moraz do solo piano covers, they are certainly not note-for-note. 😃😀
