@joosje Well done! It is already very nice! RD looks so young in the picture! It sounded really interesting and very technically challenging but can't say I know how to appreciate it.

@Steve Pederson this is such a cool trick. Rafael Aguire played a piece in Darth Vader helmet, doubt he could see anything in it.

@Eric Phillips I love it more the more I listen to it. It has a very 60s Disney/MGM vibe. I can imagine section A fits right into Judy Garland's Wizard of Oz.

@Jack Stewart great start to this Jack. Your own composition is much harder than this, 2 weeks should be more than doable. Great job on this.
