HSQ’s favorite serious work. The middle section has original material that builds to a powerful 2nd theme. Real meat and potatoes.

The long introduction in the original song suggested a long song here and thus a long build as well as enabling a rich and full development. Note that since there is a substantial second motif at bar 65, I was able to create a strong ending by bringing both the A and B motifs together simultaneously. This arrangement has a great deal of original material. In performance, pay particular attention to holding speed, avoiding unnecessary accents and choppy playing.
