No sooner was I searching through my playlist for a nice soft and relaxing piano song when I noticed this remix was posted.

It is simply wonderful. Also, I happen to be a real fan of the source tune. There is such wonderful emotion in this piece, which is really what brings it all together for me. Your changes to the original may only be subtle at times, but what a difference it makes!

Fantastic job :)

Wow.... this is absolutely gorgeous. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful piano arrangements I've heard. You have done an absolutely amazing job of bringing out all the emotion in the source.

I just wish it was longer!

Definitely going on my list of all-time favorite remixes.

While I'm sure that it is robust and rather enjoyable...I have to admit that it went right past me when I listened to it.

Kind of like lobby music, I guess. It's not that it isn't good, it's more that it's not memorable. In short...it's generic, and I don't consider that a good thing.

I always love a good piano tune and this was on of them. This is one song that i really could sleep to. Great stuff.

This is a very gentle and modest piece. It sounds very professional.
I agree it's also very safe, but there's no fault in that. Not everything has to be cutting edge.

I love this source tune a lot, and I think you've got a nice arrangement of it here. I feel like the melodic/harmonic alterations are sort of incidental, but that's not necessarily a bad thing -- when the source is this solid, sometimes all you want is a warm and caring rendition of it, and you delivered that with a few nice touches of your own. Sounds great.

This is excellent work. I appreciate these kinds of solo piano arrangements in contrast to fuller arrangements such as klutz's World of Piano, though both kinds are awesome. I think the arrangement on this is very soothing, perfect for my sleepy playlist that I listen to when I go to sleep. But it does seem to pass by without notice if you're busy doing something while listening. Overall I believe this is a very good remix and expect more great ones to come!
