I wasn't familiar with Taylor Swift's song "Love Story" until I downloaded the above music video. The arrangement takes an instrumental version of "Love Story" (which I prefer to the original) and transitions to Coldplay's "Viva la Vida." I've found it quite addictive.
The arranger is a Salt Lake City pianist named Jon Schmidt -- the guy banging on the Fazioli throughout. His co-arranger is cellist Steven Sharp Nelson. Schmidt sweetly dedicates the song to his 7-year-old daughter, Sarah, who is apparently a huge Taylor Swift fan. Take a listen.
Very interesting post, the are very practical.
Thanks for sharing all this.
