One of my all-time favorites!
I have listened to this tune all my life and enjoyed it each every time I heard it. And now at 73 years old, I own my own copy, and enjoy playing it as I have enjoyed listening to it for a long time. Thank you for making it available.

Good for transcribing for our woodwind trio
After easily transcribing this classic piece with our trio it has been a hit with our audiences during our performances.

What an Wonderful World
I've always loved this song and the artist. It has only been recently that I've taken up jazz piano and when I saw this on Sheet Music Plus I had to have it. The rendition is appropriate for Grade 2 up. I found by chording along with the melody it sounded nicer and closer to the original.

easy to play
I studied piano more than 50 years ago but only probably grade 1. Now that I have the time I tried to learn again but I was able to play this piece.

Less than wonderful voicing
My purchase arose from a need to know the words however I found the piano accomopaniment arpeggio runs poorly developed in terms of ascending/descending progression and in places harmonically unacceptable - Bars 3&4 are too thinly scored to enable satisfaction from using the 5th,again the 5th and then mi7th as the arpeggio base - not quite so harmonically unpleasant in Bars 9 & 10 becuse of the thicker scoring - same comment as Bars 3&4 for Bars 25&26. In Bar7 there is a need for the Bb of C7 chord to be reflected - simiarly in Bar 23. Arpeggios too far down the keyboad give, in some places,a muddy feeling.

Pretty good
Faithful and accurate to the recordings of Louis Armstrong singing this song; make sure you put feeling into the piano part or it can just become laboured and repetitive

Good song lasts forever
I am a retired Japanese and living on pension. It was a long time ago when I happened to hear this song. The lyrics of this song is really touching and the guitar chord is simple and unique which I like very much.

Disappointing
I am very disappointed with this arrangement! This is such a beautiful song, and this arrangement does not do it justice. It is very simple, and sounds like it should be in a lesson book.

Not a great arrangement
This arrangement is not very authentic to the original. The time signature is different, which throws off the entire triplet feel to piece. I also found it much too heavy in the bass clef.

I do not like this arrangement
I am a retired piano teacher of 34 years. I taught mostly classical, but I did see Louis Armstrong in person sing this song at Iowa State University. Thus I was given a gift for Sheet Music Plus and decided to buy this. I do not like this arrangement of Louis Armstrong: What a Wonderful World. I think it has a long way to go. [...]

Enjoyable arrangement
The arrangement fit perfectly for our little program. The piano part was a little hard but the solo part was just great. The music seemed to be as I remembered it. The audience enjoyed our afternoon.

Beautiful, yet different
This sheet music is beautiful, but if you play it the way it is written, it doesn't sound like the original recording. You need to improvise with it to make it really sound like Louis Armstrong's.

"WONDERFUL"
This was my pap's favorite song and I learned it for him since he passed away. This is a great song to play with feeling, and a great stress reliever for me. I can hear Louis singin' it now! What a wonderful world.

A great piece to experiment with...
I'm generally interested in rock songs more than anything else, but this jazz piece was great. I was able to experiment with different chords and such. That is what made this piece spectacular on the piano. I was able to eliminate and add notes without ruining the melody. It is a very easy piece to just have fun with.
