Thank you for all the nice comments! I am going to make more videos like this, where I take an arrangement, turn it on it's head in a Cuban style. Please subscribe to this channel and join my email mailing list to find out more about this project, and ultimately, when I might be playing a show in your area - www.joachimhorsley.com/#newsletter Best Wishes everyone!!!

My half-Cuban soul has never felt more blessed than right now

This is insanely brilliant. As a professional pianist and having studied percussion...this was everything I needed in my life today. Thank you so much for sharing!

This "interpretation" was probably the last thing Beethoven was thinking about when he wrote this masterpiece, but this remix is absolutely brilliant!

What I love about this is the respect you have for the music. So many out-of-genre versions of music just kind of take the tune and do whatever, but this one really shows that you know the original and really like it. Also, you clearly know what you're doing anyway. You know the style that you're turning it into. You're just good at this is what I'm saying.

Joachim, One of my all time favorite pieces of music is Beethoven's 7th...allegretto. Well, cuban, salsa and latin jazz are a huge part of my life, so when I heard this recording, I was floored and probably cried a little...Lol. You're a genius for combining the two as beautifully as you did. I listen to it at least 10 times a day and I don't anticipate stopping at any point. Thank you for giving the world a musical gem. I'm a fan.

this song is perfect

*After all these years, it's still fun to listen to. With a smile on my face, I stamp my foot*

Ain't no party like a Beethoven Rumba party. Arrrrrrrriba!

"What if Beethoven was born in Cuba"...the creativity is universal, indeed.

After listening to an orchestral version of this movement, I've realized how amazing you've arranged this. The rumba style you've played perfectly matched the piece, and the original melody is still kept without straying too far off the line, truly amazing !

Good news everyone ! The full score, parts, and play-along are now available directly from my website: www.JoachimHorsley.com Have fun!!!

Thank you Lord for bringing this music to my random KZfaq rabbit hole of awesomeness. I love you so much

Crazy! Like his fingers are dancing to the song itself with amazing rhythm and unparallelled precision. At some points, its like two little hand-people just dancing away having a great time😂

My wife says that if she knew how to dance, she would enter a dance competition with this music and win for sure!

I've already seen a lot positive comments about this arrangement and I just had to also say.... "Dude, you killed it!" This is an awesome adaption of the original. I used it as an example in my classroom today to show how new and old are constantly being reorganized in interesting ways. The percussive element of this is on point! Keep it up! I hope to see more fun arrangements. P.S. I'm particularly bias to Beethoven so I wouldn't be opposed to not switching composers haha. Ever thought about re-arragning Beethoven's Sonata no. 21, "Waldstein?" Because I would definitely buy your version of it!
