By Billy Joel. By Billy Joel. Arranged by Austin Kitchell. Pop,Rock. Score. 7 pages. Austin Kitchell #4841213. Published by Austin Kitchell (A0.871133).This arrangement came about because I was disgruntled at how NOT-ragtime (for lack of better words) most piano solo versions of this song were. I eventually got sick of this and wrote this arrangement. I also added the key change because of one recording I heard of Billy Joel playing this piece, except he played it really slow, and then sped up the recording before posting it, but in doing so, the whole song went up a half step. I liked how it sounded in that key, so I implemented it halfway through this arrangement. It does make the 2nd half quite a bit harder, but as they say, you can't have everything in life.
Other than that, I hope you enjoy this song. It's a lot of fun.
