During a lucid moment of creativity - sandwiched between a suffocating myriad of problems - I made this music video last night.
It only took about half an hour, but when I finished I discovered that I (somehow) screwed up the synchronization of the audio - so I had to do it all over again.
Some of you probably heard it before, when I previously posted it on SoundCloud.
Since this is one of my all-time favorite recordings, I decided to rehash it on video. Having absolutely no clue what to use for visuals, I decided to turn it into an autumnal theme.
This is my piano arrangement of the theme from The Apartment - a 1960 film starring Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon.
The music is composed by Charles Williams (1893-1978). Williams originally wrote this for the 1949 film The Romantic Age and at that time the theme was known by the title Jealous Lover.
Ironically, I've never seen the film The Apartment, but I've always loved the romantic music score.
In an uncharacteristic moment of blatant egotism, I'll admit that my piano arrangement is double-damn good and incredibly difficult. I used to perform it quite often when I lived in California.
