Whats Acuracy Got to Do With It?

As a beginner level recital piece, this arrangement might be forgiven for its half-hearted attempt at at reducing a pop song but its transcription and faithfulness to the original, not to mention its quality as a solo and piano accompaniment, is of very poor value. Here is a quick list of its inaccuracies: -The piece is not in C Major, its in a minor which is a small thing accept that Turners performances are in g# minor. -The harmonic accompaniment neither sounds good, fits in the hands well, or bears a strong resemblance to Turners backing track. -It could be forgiven that the Instrumental section doesnt have the famous synth solo that is emblematic of the song, but the printed instrumental has the wrong chords in the wrong key for the wrong length. (The audio has the instrumental briefly going to what is in this key, D Major). -The "instrumental" is followed by nearly right (not to mention poorly voiced) chords in the bridge. They are listed as C9 which sounds wrong because the chord is Bb/C. If you are learning the piano and just love Tina Turner this will be sufficient to get the point across. But if you are asked to play this song at an event later on in the day, four dollars should buy you a chart that you dont have to spend thirty minutes trying to correct!
