Mostly faithful to the original
Review by Ben R. on 23 Oct 2024 review stating Die With A Smile - Piano/Vocal/Guitar
This arrangement stays true to the structure of the original song. It eliminates one repetition of the chorus at the end of the song, but given the change in instrumentation, this is probably a good choice so that the piece does not feel like it drags on too long. A couple of the melody notes are also changed for ease of playability or readability (some passing tones help with fingering), but the lines remain overall true to the original. Repeated left hand chords starting on page three help intensify the bridge, and the right hand alternates between melody and accompaniment. The type setting is easy to read. No fingering is provided. Including lyrics would have been helpful for harpists unfamiliar with the song to track the melody and differentiate it from the accompaniment.
