Hi, I'm sharing with you my paraphrase on the famous brazilian song "Tico Tico no Fuba". My approach was to create a "classical" version, starting with an almost silly and mysterious introduction and then getting suddenly the close-to-original rhythm. In the end, two different quotations, just for fun: Chopin's op.25 n.12 and Liszt's Grand Galop Chromatique. I hope you enjoy it. Comments and reviews are always welcome!

WEll, well...well -uhuh...oh it's so hard to get inflections across in email..

I am respondong for a couple of reasons....this is a unique, and I think fantastic piece....as a pianist...it has been requested for me to play...and I think probably the listener was a bit surprised that I knew the song....why wouldn't I? I think it is a remarkable piece of music...I also think that your arrangement has some OMG sections that I hear as amazing and a few I find less interesting....but could I learn something from your arrangement and make mine even better? I say ABSOLUTELY!
