The arrangement is somewhat disappointing. A disservice to a great composer. There should be more bravura, embelishments and instrumentation included in the arrangement. Any way the greatness of a composition is in the arrangement and embelishments added to the main melody. Just like a great interior decorator or a great CHEF. Music and good food go together..It is a good learning tool as what more to do or not to do to a melody, whether yours or others.
