09/11/2020: “Lute Suite in E Minor, BWV 996 I. Passaggio – Presto” by J.S. Bach // arranged by John Williams

15/09/2019: “8 Humoresques, Op. 101, B. 187: No. 7. Poco lento e grazioso in G flat major” by Art Tatum/Antonin Dvorak

I wasn’t entirely clear how to credit this one. The piece was composed by Dvorak in 1894, but Art Tatum’s version is very different in…
