Is what is written what the composer wrote?
The note accuracy of this beautiful piece is very good - excluding of course the necessity of writing the last few bars for a solo piano (as an upright piano doesnt have a "repeat and fade"). There are small timing errors in the chorus at the "Its either sadness or euphoria" lyric but nothing a close listen to Billy himself cant straighten out. As Billy plays it, it is a very fast piece (at least 150). But the left hand is easy peasy - usually a single note. This renders the piece into a good exercise for students to practice right hand dexterity (and is far more pleasant to wade through than Schmits Five Finger Exercises). An excellent note copy of what Billy does. Recommended ++++

A beautiful composition by Billy Joel.
I am very happy, indeed, that I bought this composition from musicnotes.com. It is not an exceedingly difficult composition to learn with practice, compared to other melodies. It is a very beautiful piece and does not take forever to learn. I find the arrangement is very well-done. Thank you for your assistance.
