Young Pianist Plays a Frank Milne Arrangement
By Piotr Barcz

I've no idea how many people here know of Leander's work but he's
amassed quite a following on YouTube. A week or two ago he asked if
I could send him a video of the Frank Milne roll of "White Christmas"
as he wanted to learn the arrangement, but I instead recommended that
I do a redux of it so he could play it easier without having to deal
with the huge jumps, strange crossed-hand passages, and tenths.

That's the result -- very impressive work from him! Apart from some
of the hiccups this is a very good performance; in particular, I'm
impressed with how much attention he paid to keeping those fill lines
clear. I'm really happy I had the opportunity to work with him on
this one.
